GAS ADDICKS'S DICTUM
SIMPLY ANNIHILATEs RE,
 ULAR REpUHLICANs.
Henceforth They May Not Feed at the Public Trough, Nor win Their Sympathiksrs Be Longer
 Tolerated..

Wilmington. Del. Feb. is.--The follow ing statement was issued tonight by J. Edward Addicks. the Union Republican candidate for United States Senator:
 ''The Senatorial situation: On the Re- publican side there are but two things the bolters can do.a First. the ten men now voting against J. Edward Addicks can come into common caucus of thirty one Republicans. In this case Addicks will withdraw and his twenty-one friends will nominate two Union Republican Sem ators as near to Addicks as possible and the whole thirty-one will elect them. Of course if the bolters can find any way whereby ten men can beat tYenty-one they can nominate one of the Senators.
 'Second-Each side can elect one sena- tor without dictation from the other side. In this case Addicks will be the choice of the Union Republicans. No dictation will be permitted by the Union Republi- cans. @
 "On the Democratic side the Democrats can join the bolters and elect anybody the coalition pleases. This cannot be pre- vented by tho Union Republicans and they would not lift hand to prevent it. / As to the future position of the Union Republicans. in no event will any more notice be taken of the boiters in New castle County. No more common prima- ries will be tolerated which would be binding on honorable Union Republicans and not binding on bolters. No man who refused to vote for J. Edward Addicks in the Legislature will ever be allowed to hold any office in Delaware nor will any bolter sympathizers be permitted to come to the front. Union Republicans will nom- mate a straight ticket in Wilmington and throughout the State in the long future.
 '.As to the appointments, Congressnan Ball cannot get a Federal appointment. After March the appointments. accord ing to custom ought to go to the Chair man of the Union Republican State Com- mittee and the National Committeeman, J. Edward Addicks. We shall see where the power will lie.

 The negative votes were cast by Sena- tors Piatt (Conn.), Clark (Wyo.), Fair- banks. simon and DepewN Nail Republicans
 Many other changes were made in the text of the bill. The first few lines of section were stricken out and the fol- lowing substituted:
 That whenever :he Interstate Com merce Commission in cases of common carriers or the Department of Commerce and Labor In other cases shall deem 1t desirable to Inquire whether any cor poration engaged in interstate or foreign commerce has restrained or monopolized such trade or commerce or attempted to restrain or monopolize such tradepr com merce, said Interstate Commerce Commis- sion or the Department of Commerce and Labor as the case may be. shall require such corporation to file returns with the Interstate Commerce Commission or the Department of Commerce and Labor at such times as said Commission, or the Department of Commerce and Labor may require. which returns shall be In addi- ton to any other returns required by law.
 Additional Information.
 Any corporation required to file re- turns under the provision of this section shall state among other things which said Interstate Commerce Commission or the Department Of Commerce and Labor may from time to time prescribe. It's name. date of organization etc.
 Other portions of section were left as 1t came from the House, as were sections 2, and {, except that the minimum fine of $500 for falling to make returns is stricken out. leaving specification only of the maximum which is left at 5000. Section 5. pertaining to. rebates is stricken out entirely because the question of re- bates Is covered by the Elkins bill, which already has passed both houses. Section 6 was not changed. but section g, author ixing and defining the legal process for enforcinf the proposed law was cancelled. That provision was taken out of the bill because the ground is covered by the substitute for section T. Section 10 was not changed but the House provision in sec ton il. the last section of the bill. was materially modified. The House bill awards damages ''three-fold' to persons or corporations injured by other persons or corporations under the provisions of the proposed act. The committee struck out the word 'three-foid'' providing only for damages and cost of suit.
 Only two votes were cast against the final motion to report the bill. These were given by Senator Plaft of Connecti- cut and Senator Clark of Wyoming.
 Senator Nelson offered a substitute for the entire bill. specifically declaring against mergers on the part of the com binations. but it was not accepted.
