legislature this afternoon ended the SEN
atoriaI deadlock by electing State Sena-
tor J. Frank Alice, Union Republican to
the long term senatorship. which expires
in 1907 and Congressman Louis Heisrer
Ball, regular Republican. to the short
term, which ends in 1905. Alice was
congratulated by his colleagues and by
the assembly generally. Congressman
Ball is in Washington.

dicks victory. Pressure brought to bear
upon the regular Republicans from

do with preventing the acceptance of
the Democratic offer to join with the
regulars to elect one regular and leave
a vacancy.
