Memphis TrOtting association. The
first special event was the attempt OF

veteran Grcrs, and when the tIma
2Uola was hung out the crowd gave
the stars an ovation. Onward Silver

mile trOtting record of 4:2Sla. Driven
by Hudson, the horse made Il gallant
effort but he could only tie his former

OUARRELS IN THE
\ GRAND OLD PARTY
President Roosevelt Tells the
\ Factionists What He
Thinks of Them.
mot SAID TODELAW AREANS
But Remarks Are Particularly
Applicable to Conditions
H. Here. There's Wisdom
" in Warning.

I fractional quarrels in Republican
> ates Including Delaware are being
t,ught to the Presidents ldoor with
much persisten ce as election day ap-
proaches Wisconsin has been the
most notable example Of this, AMI
long ago Mr.. Roosevelt was appealed
to to aid all he could in bringing
about some sort Of harmony in the
Badger State. He is credited with
hav ing used his influence for unity
there, apparently not without effect,
although there still remains yawn-
ing chasm.
There is trouble of ancient origin
within the party lines Of Washington
State, and yesterday the President
was asked to aid there in closing the
breach, lest the clashing between the
Wilson and anti.Wilson factions
should become so hot as to enable
Senator Turner, Democrat. to gather
in Il majority of the legislature The
president may use his good Offices to
alleviate the situation in Washing
ton, He is quoted as saying to his
visitors:
II have no Use for man who cares
more about the defeat of member
Of his own party who belongs 10 anoth
er faction than he does for the defeat
Iof the common enemy. the Demo
Gratis" Although the remark was
mot directed to q Delawarean it has a
peculiar significance 10 the people OF
this state.
h That saying was carried to some
of the prominent Wisconsin Republi-
tcans IN Washington and they will
luse 1t for all it may be worth in their
own campaign from now till election
lday, particularly In behalf of Sena-
5tor Spooner, whom not a few of the
Wisconsin Republicans seem willing
TO slaughter because Of facticaal
differences.
The election gives no promise Of
deciding all the inter-party quarrels
among the Republicans which affect
seats in the United States Senate.
Should the Legislature in Pcnnsyl-
Ivania DO divided anywhere near
equally between the Republicans
and their opponents, SO as to give
anti-organizat Ion Republicans bal.
ance Of power, long controversy
would be assured. There ID a similar
situation ln Illinois, where many in
dependent Republican candidates for
the senate are running. However,
Iall the indications are that in those
1.-TWO States the Regular Republicans
will have clear majority and will
lbe aole to elect their caucus
candidates. 1t may not DO so in Dol
aware, however.
The two factions of the Republi-
can party in Kansas are graphing
lin a vigorous struggle this year, in
fyolving Senatorship, Representa-
!tives Long and Curtis being, respec-
lively, backed by the Leland and
antlLeland faction. There, how
ever, it is not anticipated that the
Republicans will lose materially
from the party strife. The factions
in Oregon are at swords points and
the fight Is certain to crop out anew
in the election Of a successor to SEN
atOr Simon.

MAY YET HAVE
SPECIAL SESSION
Legislature May be Called to
Meet After the
Election.
UNION MEN ARE JUBILANT
Feel That Their Party Will
Elect All Senators
From Sussex
County.

Gov. Hum has not abandoned
entirely his project Of calling to-
gether in extraordinary session the
Legislature to elect two United
States Senators to fill Delaware's
vacancies. His designs are not now
upon the present Legislature. 1t
is understood that, should the Re-
publicans elect a majority of the AS.
semblymen to be voted for next
Tuesday, giving them a majority
on joint ballot, outside of Senator
Ellison, who absolutely refused to
vote for j. Edward Addcks for Sen
ator, the Governor will issue his
call for the session on Saturday fol-
lowing return day, week from to-
morrow.
The two Senators, if elected,
could then arrange their business to
attend Congress at The opening ses-
sion in December and seek qualiti-
cation as members of the upper
house. The Democrats in all the
doubtful districts of Kent and Sus-
sex Counties are confident. Even
in the Addicks districts they are
energetic. Throughout both coun-
ties the lines ara distinctively be-
tween the Democrats and Addicks-
ties.
At the Union Republican head
quarters inDover last night Aldicks
men seemed jubilant. The declara-
ton was made that Addicks would
then get all three Senators from
Sussex County. This would, Of
course, give them, by their figures,
the necessary votes to elect him.
The Democrats have arranged
their final roundup for tomorrow
afternoon at FELTON,, in one of the
doubtful districts, where the Ad-
dicks men have seven candidates
for Offices.
MR.. HANDY MAKES PREDICTION.
l.. Irving Handy this morning
predicted the certain victory Of the
Democratic Stale ticket and the New
Castle County ticket, and that the
Democrats would surely elect a
m iority Of the Legislature.
!'he Republicans of the Ninth
Ward will hold a meeting in Ban
tum's Hall tomorrow eve ming.
Francis II. lIoffecker, ]. Percy
N!elds and Horace Greedy Knowles

TO dealers at least 900 cars $4,000

day was "Mitchell's Day when
only eight of the company's S colierles

that the coal lamine is now a thing

the miners.
The Reading loaded 1887 cars of
coal Tuesday, as against S91 on Mon
