Senate Safe for Republicans.

ed.
Senate Safe for Republicans.
OF the thirty senatorial seats to
change eighteen are republican and
twelve democratic at present. OF
these three democrats have been elect
ed SO far and one republican. In adj
dition to these Delaware and Michigan
will elect legislatures which will be
called upon to select senators for un-
expired terms. Both of the seats in
the senate belonging to Delaware are
vacant on account of the failure of the
legislature to elect in 1898 and 1900.
In Michigan the legislature will cleo,
a successor to the late Senator Nc
MILAN. In the meantime Governor
Bliss has appointed Russell A. Alger to
fill out the term until the meeting of
the legislature. when he will undoubt-
eddy be elected to fill the term expir-
ing March 8. 1907. If the Delaware
seats are to remain vacant on account
of the deadlock in the legislature tho
democrats would have to gain eleven
republican senatorial seats in order to
gain control of the senate. They have
already gained one of these seats in
the successor of Mr.. Bedoe of Ken
lucky, and the only other state in
which it would seem possible for the
democrats to defeat republican SEN
ators are in Nevada. where Represen-
tative Newlands may succeed Senator
Jones, and in North Carolina, where
Senator Pritchard seems to be having
hard fight to be returned. To offset
this the republicans believe that they:
are certain to elect the legislature in
Kansas, which will supply a successor
to Senator Harris. This situation
would seem to make the senate abso.
lutely safe to the republicans for two
years at least.
The Control of the House.
In the house the republicans have
a majority of forty-one, holding 1879
out of g. total of 357 seats. The next
house will be increased by twenty.
nine members, making it necessary
for either party to elect 1874 members
in order to control. The republican
hope Of success is based on being able
to hold most of the old districts and
carry portion of the new ones. which
would give them good working ma
jority. The democrats, however. are
also hoping. They expect to win back
some Of the districts that changed
complexion in 1896. 1898 and 1900 on
account Of Bryanism. Very few re-.
publicans, however, admit that the
democrats have ghost Of a show to
win the house next month. and sorde
Of the wisest and most experienced
politicians Of the party In power insist
that the democrats will not even hold
their own in this contest for the house.
AS to the claim OF the democrats that
they will carry either Pennsylvania or
New York, republicans with money to

PHILADELPHIA'S SAD PLIGHT.

Almost Every Wire in tie city
Down and Four Men EIectrocutcd.
Philadelphia. Feb. 2.-Philadelphia
is as completely shut off from electrical
communication with the outside world
as though such a thing as a telegraph
or telephone wire never existed. This
situation is likely to continue for at
least forty-eight hours longer, although
it is possible that the Western Union
Telegraph Company may make one
route good to New York by Sunday
night. One Southern route may also be
put in working order before Monday
morning.
The storm appears to have been more
severe in the vicinity of Philadelphia
than anywhere else. Information re-
ceived here is to the effect that south
of the Susquehanna river on the route
to Baltimore and the South the
wires are in fairly good condi-
tion and that west of Harris
burg the condition electrically is
not so serious. Within the city
limits, however, it is no exaggeration
to say that scarcely a single overhead
wire is in working order. Poles are
down in all directions and wires are
dangling from housetops on nearly
every street. Officials of the telegraph
companies say that it will be fully a
week before all of the routes are even
in fair working order.
In this city four persons were killed
during yesterday and last night by
coming in contact with heavily charged
wires. The most singular of the fatal
accidents occurred down town, where
two men died together. Charles Sack
and an unknown companion were
walking down a street when Sack. be-
came entangled in a broken electric
light wire. He dropped dead and his
companion, in trying to escape the
wire, touched 1t and also fell dead.
A coal wagon driver while driving
his wagon at Thirtieth and Chestnut
streets came in contact with a broken
wire and was also electrocuted. The
same fate befell Robert MacAdoo who,
in trying to avoid a broken wire, acct
dentally came in contact with it and
fell off his wagon dead.
Hundreds of linemen are at work
clearing the wires, and until they are
convinced that all danger from con-
tact with electric light wires is past
the officials of the various telegraph
companies will not attempt to operate
their wires.

unanimous consent both senators
might be heard.
Tillman's Characteristic Apology.

Senator Tillman took the floor and
apologized for losing his temper and
OFFENDING the dignity of the Senate
He remarked sarcastically that his ex-
perience as Governor of South Caro-
lima for four years had perhaps un-
htted him for meeting all the re-
quirements of the dignity and prece-
dence of the Senate. He said he re-
GREETED his conduct, and added while
he was sorry for what had occurred,
he had acted under severe proVoca-
ton.
Il am sorry for what 1 did but, un-
der the circumstances I could not have
done otherwise. and while I apologize
to the Senate I have nothing further
to say"
McAaurin Denies Contempt.
Senator McLaurin was then recog-
nized and declared with great earnest
ness that he was not willing to admit
that he was in contempt, and appealed
to the record to show that his utter
ances had violated no rules of the Sem
ate. He was proceeding to say that
these charges made against him in con-
nection with his vote on the treaty had
been repeated so often that he was
tired and sick of having them thrust
into his teeth. AS a man of honor he
could not hold up his head unless he
openly branded these accusations as
maliciously false.
Then, for the first time, showing
great excitement, Senator McLaurin
was proceeding to say, eff 1 hear any
more OF this" Here he was suddenly
interrupted by Senator Patterson of
Colorado, who advised him to say no
more. 1t was evident that the junior
senator was worked up to the point of
delivering a throat hItt
the suggestion of several senators near
him, he abruptly took his seat.
Thus the most exciting incident the
Senate has ever known ended for the
time being. Tonight the senatorial
scrap is the one topic of conversation
in Washington. Opinions are about
equally devided as to who had the ad-
vantage in the encounter. The apollo
gies which both senators offered can
hardly be regarded as due reparation
for the disgraceful indignity inflicted
upon the Senate and many Democratic
and Republican senators express the
opinion that precautions shall be taken
so far as the Committee on Privileges
and Elections is concerned to prevent
a recurrence of to-day's scene.
Probable Cause of Friction.
Way down under the surface it is
aror Tillman and Senator McLaurin is
due to the fight they are new en-
gagged in over the pending appoint
ments of Mr.. Koester as clerk of in
ternal reevnue and Postmasters Rich
ardson. Chaffee and Purcell at Green
vile, Aiken and Newberry, respec-
lively. All of the appointments We're
made at the instance of Senator Nc
Laurin, and are being held up in COM
mittee, it is said indirectly, by Senator
Tillman.

NEW Y0RK'S SLEET STORM.
BROOKLYN Bride "a GIitterinR Spec
tacIe-Scores of Horses Killed by
Live Wires.


Live Wires.
New York, Feb. 22.-The sleet storm
that struck New York proved to be
the most severe that has been expert
enced for several years. Telegraphic
communication was almost completely
suspended until this evening, when 1t
was generally restored.
Throughout the day the streets were
rendered nearly impossible by slush,
many of them almost presenting the
appearance of rivers, the sewers being
incapable of carrying off the over
flow. Owing to the holiday, street car
traffic was at a minimum. The great
est damage was sustained in Brooklyn,
where scores of horses were killed by
contact with live wires, which were
everywhere Frustrated In Prospect
Park and in many of the avenues hun
dreds of trees were denuded of ice la
den branches The Brooklyn bridge
presented a brilliant spectacle, being
completely encased in glittering
crystal coating.
On Staten Island hardly a wire was
left standing and traffic was every
where suspended
The Poor Horses Suffered.
More than one hundred dead horses
lay in the streets throughout the city.
Many of them dropped from exhaustion
and others fell and broke their legs
and had to be shot.
The great storm did more damage in
the suburbs than in the city. The wind
had full sweep in the towns and viii
lagos of Eastern New eJrsey. Long
Island and West Chester county troll
ley and telephone service was aban-
doned. and the ground is strewn with
broken wires and trees.

ROSEBERY HAS FOLLOWERS
Many Liberals Assure Him of Their
Devotion.

DeNONIOn.
London, Feb. 22.-Lord Rosebery has
about fifty avowed followers in the
House of Commons and since his letter,
which seems to have been as great a
surprise to his friends as to others,
many prominent Liberals in the coun-
try have hastened to assure him Of
their devotion. IL was said with a con-
siderable show of authority that a
meeting of the imperialist section Of
the Liberals would be called to form
a new party with its whips and with
Mr.. Pasquith as leader In the House
Of Commons. This story, however is
quite premature, and 1t is practically
safe to assume that no immediate ac-
tion will be taken.
The Daily News, representing the Sec
tion of Sir. Henry Campbell Banner
man (the Liberal leader in the House),
is exceedingly incensed and more es-
pecially that Lord Rosebery should
have chosen the Times as the vehicle
for his pronouncement, a journal, II
says, (which has constantly assalled
the Liberal party as traitors and dis
ruptionists."

the age Of 1902 as nearly as | could ascer-

know perfectly well that it was not IN
common for soldiers when ON a scout to

more than one instance where Sherman an

not calculated to improve the reputation
of those officers. notwithstanding .-4ese
observations, l am inclined to think that
Lincoln did visit Mana ssas in the spring
of 1862 There can be no doubt that Mr.
Lincoln did not fully agree with some of
his generals in the idea that Manassas
was strong defensive position. it would
seem natural that he should desire to see
what there wa in Manassas that had de-
iayed his armies SO long. The same mo.
tives that influenced him to visit Ricn-
mond in 1865 and the region Of Fredericks-
burg in 1868 may have induced him to
visit Manassas in 1852. If he actually did
SO, there is probably record of it. If
there is such a record, no doubt some of
your readers may know where it exists
