Dover, Del, March 2.-The Della
ware legislature this afternoon ended
the deadlock by electing State Sena-
tor J. Frank Alice, union republican,
to the long term senatorship which ex-
pires in 1907, and Congressman Louis
Heisler Ball, regular republican, to
the short term which ends in 1905.
Alice was congratulated by his col
leagues and by the assembly general
ly Congressman Ball is in Washing
ton.
The result is regarded here as an
Addicks' victory.
Pressure brought to bear upon the
regular republicans from Washington
undoubtedly had much to do with pre-
venting the acceptance of the demo-
cratic offer to join with the regu-
lars to elect one regular and leave a
vacancy.
Addicks' Proposition Accepted.
MI. Dick is said to have come here
under instructions from National
Chairman Hanna to urge the regular
republicans to accept the proposition
agreed on by Mr.. Addicks and his ad-
herents on Saturday for the election of
a union republican to the long term
and a regular republican to the short
term, Addicks himself being elimi-
mated.
The forces having agreed early in
the day, decided to vote as heretofore
at the hour of converting regularly and
then to adjourn until 1880 p. M, when
the senators would be elected. The
thirty-ffth ballot, taken at noon, re-
suited: Long term, Addicks, 81; SAILS

term: Addicks, 10; Kenny, 81; Hig-

Lone Robber Loots Gambling House.
Douglas, Ariz., March 3.-The rou-
lett dealer in the Abbey saloon was
held up by a lone highwayman Sun
day night. The robber entered the
back entrance of the saloon and COM
manded all those in the saloon to
line up against the wall. The amount
taken by the robber is said to be over
$1,000. He then backed out of the
door, mounted a horse and crossed
into Mexico. 1t is thought he caught
a train and went into the interior with
a large number of prospectors and
miners, who left on the morning train
for the new gold fields.

BOARD OF CONTROL
TO AWARD MORE
CONTRACTS
Bidders Called Upon to Fur
nish Supplies for All State
Institutions for Coming
Three Months : Schedules
Have Been Sent Out to
Firms Calling 70 r Them.

The state board of control has now
completed its schedule of supplies that
will be needed for the use of public
institutions in the next quarter and the
last of them were sent out to bidders
yesterday. 1t is expected that the first
lot Of bids will be in about April %.
Since the board purchases supplies
sufficient to last for three months for
all of the institutions under it's su-
pervision, the task of preparing these
schedules is a heavy one and involves
much detail. There are about 100 diff
ferent claSsifications of goods, and or
dinarily between 500 and 600 bids are
received. The contracts are awarded
at the periods of the quarterly meet
ings of the superintendent of institu-
lions that they may assist the board
with their advice in the selection of
goods. The next of these superintend-
ents' meetings will be held May s. and
the contracts will be let from May
to 6.

500, or little more than a fifth of the
entire issue.
County Auditor Krahmer held a con-
ference with City Comptroller Betz
yesterday afternoon and explained
that number Of local investors now
holding city bonds would be willing to
invest in the county's new bonds if
they could dispose of the city bonds
now held by them. These city bonds
will fall due June Is, and the holders,
DESTROYS Of keeping their money in
vested, would like to invest in the
county bonds. This they could not do
unless the city bonds could be con-
verted into cash before May 1.
Comptroller Betz informed Mr..
Krahmer that the city would cash the
bonds which come due June Is at any
time they were presented, provided
the holders wished to reinveSt the
money in the county's paper. The city
has the cash on hand with which to
pay these bonds when they fall due in
June, and to cash them now would
mean saving to the city of the inter-
est which it would have to pay were
the bonds to be held until they fell
due.
This action on the part Of the city
will, it is believed, relieve the county
of any further uncertainty regarding
the sale of these bonds, as many ap-
plications have been received by per-
sons who are willing to invest in the
certificates Of Indebtedness provided
they could dispose of their city bonds
The plan will be to the advantage Of
both the city and the county.
