ANOTHER CALL
TO WASHINGTON.
State Officers There To-day In
Conference With Admin
istration Heads.

Dover, Nov. l2-With the election
of John Edward Addicks to United
States Senatorship by the newly
elected Legislature, every political
development is watched with fever
ish anxiety by the politicians
throughout lower Delaware. There.
fore, when the news came to-day
that Mr.. Addicks at last had OBJ
tained favor with the President and
that as a result of his appeal, Will
liam Michael Byrne, late Congress-
ional candidate of the Union party
has been re-appointed to his old
post ofUnited States District Attor-
ney for Delaware. there was great
rejoicing among tho Union men.
The Regular Republicans, on the
other hand were manifestly upset
and disconnected. The administra-
tion's rebrke to Mr.. Addicks, which,
together with the Federal patron
age, has long encouraged their fight
against the millionaire candida to,
appear to have been lifted. The y
declared that it must be mistake.
Others declared that if the Presi-
dent intended to smile upon Union
ism it would be more difficult than
ever to prevent his election to the
Senate by the next Legislature.
At the State House, the Regular
Republicans there on business to-
day vigorously denied any change
OF front on the part of the President.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
State Auditor Purnal B. Norman
and State Treasurer Martin B. Bur
rls, who have just been reelected

throughout the State by the undi-
vlded Republican vote, have been
summoned to meet President Roose-
welt. Postmaster General Payne and
National Chairman Hanna, in Wash
1ngton, tomorrow, relative to the
Delaware senatorial situation. Mr..
Norman was seen at the State House
to-day but woul | say nothing con
Cernlng the controversy other than
to admit be had the Presidents sum-
mons in his pocket.

itor, "that expect to be in Wash |
ington, and that | have seen the
President within week but of
course l am not at liberty to state
what was said.
Il will further say that if there
are two Senators elected, Addicks

NEW IMPROVEMENTS.

Golden Transcript: The big. water
jacket furnace at the Carpenter smelter
was blown out Sunday for the purpose
of making some needed repairs. 1t has
been running steadily for some time and
an immense quantity of ore has been re-
duced. We learn that two matte furna-
ces are to be erected at once to supple
ment the work OF the big furnace and a
patent brick machine is to be inaugu-
rated for the purpose OF reducing the
fue dust to solid form. There has been
an immense quantity Of this material ac-
cummulated in the yards which cannot
be utilized in the blast furnace in its
present form. In solid form its values
can be readily saved. 1t is expected that
fully month will be occupied in making
repairs and inaugurating the new i'm
provements, but most Of the men will be
kept employed.
