magnate. who has long been seeking a
seat in the United States Senate from
that state, came TO Washington yester-
day morning and had a conference with
the President at the White House Of
fees.
According to Mr.. Addicks' view there
arc very few Republicans in Delaware
who do not vote with his faction Of the
party. He pointed out 10 the President
that the total Addicks vote in New
Castle county. the largest OF the three.
was nearly ten thousand. while the anti
Addicks party poIled few over Two
thousand. In Kent county, out OF more
than four thousand votes. he conceded
TO his opponents less than two hundred.
and in Sussex three hundred out OF
nearly FIVE thousand.
The President was not requested By
Mr.. AddiCks, il is understood. 10 ex-
press Immediately any further views as
to the state OF affairs in Delaware. but
the gas magnate hopes for some sign of
the Presidents favor in the distribution
of state patronage before the Delaware
Legislature meets in January
As Mr. Addlcks left the President's IS
Office ne said;
"I did not ask the President 10 take
any sides in the question. We have the
majority OF the votes and want only fair
plav We have beafeD the democrat s

the bOlters' In our own party.
There win be an election for two
Senators in Delaware next January
Two Senators will be elected-two Re
publicars."
And Mr. Addicks will be one OF
them" qucried The Times representa-
tive.
There won't be an election unless he

LONDON, Dee, G.-There was unusual
activity at the foreign ofice here this
afternoon. and it was quite late before
the doors were closed. This was part
ly because OF an important conference
with the Italian ambassador in regard
TO the attitude Of his government toward
EnglanG's campaign in Somaliland. but
chiefly on account Of the interchange OF
dispatches between Lord Lansdowne and
Sir Francis LasceIles. the British am

England and Germany are az present act

question. II there is reason to believe
that the latter power is pressing for

out dead and two others soon died.

When Engineer Trider was reached his
feet we're found 10 be up against the
fire box. while his head and body was
almost completely buried in a quagmire
OF sand and mud. When taken out. he

him. Death ensued from sudocation by

Twelve persons were injured. includ-

than severe jolung Two Of these cars
