SENATOR MAsON's CHANCES.
Said to Be Brighter Than They Were
Two Weeks Ago.

Col e. A. Keeler has Just returned from
the campaign In Illinois and speaking of
the outlook there today said: 1.-The condi-
tions Of Senator Mason's canvass are
brighter than they were two weeks ago.
Mr.. Hopkins won a doubtful Endorsement
by convention, the call for which said
nothing about the senatorship. and whose
main composition in the way Of workers
was Of delegates who are either on the pay
roll Of the state or who have friends whose
names are on the roll. Then, too, the reso-
luton Of Endorsement was accompanied
by move for the previous question, thus
sitting debate. Senator Mason sought no
action by the convention, knowing that the
legislature alone makes United States SEN
ators. He has now enough pledged mem
bers Of the general assembly to warrant the
prediction that he will succeed himself If
the republicans are in the majority next
January. The people are with him, the
bosses are not, which has always obtained
since he entered public life. As an evil
dence Of his added popularity 1t is safe to
say that three times as many voters grasp
ed him by the hand at Springfield last We'd
nesday and Thursday as any other man
there. No, L am sure that the next senator
from Illinois will be Mr.. Mason, for the
issue is Joined and the people will not stand
for machine-made sentiment nor for q 3 per
cent assessment to erect such q machine
The only hard work the senator has before
him is to help make the state keep its place
in the republican column"

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.
Neither Side Has Yet Perfected Its
Plans.

Chairman Babcock of the republican
congressional campaign committee came up
from Atlantic City today, where he has
been recuperating his health, and will spend
day or two in town. He will return to
Atlantic City and stay until he RECEIVERS his
strength.
The plans of the committee for the i'm
pending congressional campaign have not
been formulated. There will be no meet
ing of the managers until Mr.. Babcock re-
turns. The proposition to establish head
quarters in New York is still pending, and
is said to meet with considerable favor
among the committeeman. Preparations
for the campaign are somewhat delayed
this year, but when the committee gets
down to work a lively campaign will be in
augurated. The old board of executive Of
ficers was reelected and the management
of the campaign will be in practically the
same hands as it was two years ago.
The democrats are going ahead with
their work slowly. Mr.. Cable will announce
the executive committee next Wednesday.
AS stated heretofore. the democratic ex-
ecutive committee will be composed largely
Of the democrats who were aligned with
the sound money faction of the party. The
democrats have not decided where their
headquarters will be located, although 1t
is certain that Chicago will be chosen by
the executive committee for headquarters.

tion here. The latter favors the resignation

the confidence Of the people. This was fol-
lowed by cries Of ''Vive la revolutionw and
AUX armes!' and a scene Of great disorder
followed: during which congress was prac-
tically dissolved.

to elect president Of the republic the
minister of the interior formally handed the

asked the president Of that house to order
the withdrawal Of the strong force Of
troops which occupied the chambers The
president replied that the troops were neces-
sary to protect congress while engaged in
its deliberations, and said that he approved
Of the presence of the military. The meet
ing of congress was then suspended.
