Baltimore Sun Special.
Washington, Aug. l3.-President Roose-
Telt and the Republican party leaders have
Decided that the factional fight in the State
" Delaware, between the Addicks and du
Cont factions of the party, which has re-
suited In the loss of that States representa-
lion in the United States Senate, must, for
the good of the organization, come TO an
end.
During the coming campaign in Della
ware the strength of the administration and
the party in general will be thrown as the
Addicks faction, and every effort made to
secure the election Of a Republican Legisla-
ture which shall be favorable to the selection
of Addicks and one of his followers to the
States representatives in the upper branch
Of Congress. 1t is feared by the Republicans
shat If the fractional fight is continued the
State will be carried by the Democratic.
This decision has been reached after
mature consideration of every phase of the
Dtrife in Delaware. Col. du Pont and his
followers have been urged to get into line.
They have refused to do 80. Now they are
70 be combatted by the Republican organi-
cation as q whole, and the President is to
take hand to the end that the famous
''Gns Man, shall triumph over his old
time enemies and come to the Senate.
The decision of the administration to
support Addicks leaked out here today,
when it was learned that MIR. Addicks was
>
with Senator Nathan B. Scott of West Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Addicks stopped at hotel while
in Washington, but did not register. He
attempted to make his visit as secret as pos
sible. Mr.. Scott told Mr.. Addicks that the
administration felt the time had come to
put an end to the fight in Delaware, and
that after due elaboration 1t had decided TO
put its forces TO work in the coming cam
paign to elect an Addicks Legislature.
Mr.. Scott said he had been appointed an
agent of the executive committee of the
National Republican Committee to superin-
tend the Administrations work in Delaware
and that hereafter and up to the election he
would do everything possible to assist Mr..
Addicks and to defeat his enemies. Mr..
Addicks was highly pleased and expressed To
Mr.. Scott the conviction that with the aid
of the administration he could elect a Leg
islature favorable to his candidacy fol
Senator.
Mr.Addicks was also informed that should
the attempt succeed he would not be eS-
pected to compromise in any way with the
du Pont element in regard to the other
Henatorship, and that If the Legislature
should be pro-Addicks his colleague should
be one of his own followers.
A man of confidence of the administration
stated TO a correspondent of the Sun today
that had President Mckinley lived this pro
gramme might have been carried into effect
come time ago. This informant said that
when President Roosevelt assumed the Office
he was not entirely familiar with the situa.
ton in Delaware. MIR. Roosevelt some time
ago gave the du Pont element share of the
Federal patronage. Since then, according
to this informant, the President has realized
his mistake and hereafter all Federal patron
age will go to the Addicks faction.

EENWlCK'S ISLAND CAMP.
Proposition for a Methodist Protestant
Chautauqua.

Proposition for a Methodist Protestant
Chautauqua.
The Methodist Protestant campmeeting
Baltimore Sun correspondent says:
Each year has shown phenomenal
on Fenwick's Island closed Sunday week.
growth of this campmeeting. In fact it has
become Mecca for Methodist Protestants
during the month of August. This is true
to such an extent that an organized effort
will be made to establish summer meeting
during the month of August under the
auspices of the Maryland Annual Conference
OF the Methodist Protestant Church. Sew
eral representative ministerial and lay MEM
bers of this conference have an appointment
to meet Preston Lea in Wilmington, Del,
early in September. Mr.. Lea is president
and treasurer of the Fenwick's Island City
co. He and other representative members
OF the company will confer with the COM
mittee on matters relating to possible
Chautauqua.
THE members OF the committee will act
in their individual capacities, having no
official recognition from the conference.
However, 1t is their object to present the
matter to the conference and secure some
degree of official recognition. This can be
done at the next meeting of the conference,
to be held at Pocoinoke City, Md, the first
Wednesday in April.
whether or not the conference will take
up the project denominationally is un-
certain. Certain il is, however, that Mr..
Lea, representing the stockholders of the
Fenwick's Island City Co., is prepared to
make any concessions in reason to the con-
ference should that body zee fit to take up
the project in a practical manner. The
success or failure of the plans of the Fem
wick's Island City Co. depend to large ex-
tent upon the continuance of the camp
meeting under the patronage OF the Metho-
dist Protestants. the continuance of the
| canlpneeting depends upon ths will of the
owners of the island. Here is reciprocity
of interests. There seems to be no reason
| why a complete and satisfactory agreement
should not be reached between the church
people and tne owners of the island. To
the outsider the project of Methodist
Protestant Chautauqna during the month
! of August at this delightful summer resort
i indeed a most attractive one. II would
draw Methodist Protestants from five States,
and might possibly develop into religious,
literary and social centre during The warmest
period of the summer

the Senatorial deadlock in Delaware
ID denied here. The President is too
we'll versed in the situation in Della
ware not TO realize that in the northern
part ofsthe State where II. A. du Point
finds his greatest strength there is
positive belief that it is better for
Delaware to send two Democratic Sena-
tors than two Republicans, including
Addicks. They have fought a long
fight and feel that their victory will
be. in the defeat of Addicks.
The President is not aware that
Senator Scott is acquainted with Ad-
dicks. 1t was stated here today that
neither Senator Scott nor anybody else
has been notified of the withdrawal of
Republican support from Col. du Pont.
