city treaty. They will vote against go- ing into executive session in order to avoid being forced to declare them selves on reciprocity and while seem ingly lined up with statehood friends, in reality care nothing about the bill and will play one measure against the other in order to defeat reciprocity.
 While this may be so, the prevailing opinion is that the statehood friends are making substantial progress and they point to the fact that Senator Quay gave d dinner to the statehood advocates the other evening and there not only counted noses but also had the devoted band pledge itself anew to stand pat for statehood. Moreover. they say there are several additional votes that can be relied on when it comes to the real issue. The events in the senate today and yesterday raised the hopes of those who want statehood and there is talk now that Quay will pass the omnibus bill without submitting to any form of compromise. There are those who confidently look for a vote inside of ten days at the most Mir Beveridge is holding frequent consul tauons now with the president It is not known what the object of these conferences is, whether to gather in- spiration for continuing the fight or whs ther tO gather the presidents views on some form O: concession in order to end the struggle. II is claimed that statehood IS paralyZing legislation and it is understood that Quay means to go to the last extreme in forcing the minority to submit to a vote and will insist on continuous sessions until something gives way.

PLOT TO FREE HORN.
The Famous Scout and Murderer of a
 Boy.

Salt Lake City. Utah. January 21.- A special to the Herald from Cheyenne, Wyo., says that an attempt was to have been made tonight to liberate Tom Horn who is under death sentence for the murder of Willie Nickell, but it was frustrated by one of the conspir- atCrs who weakened and exposed the plot. Officers are said to be in posses sion of letters and other evidence of the daring plot. The letters which are alleged to have been written by Horn and smuggled from the jail to friends on the outside give precise instructions regarding the rescue. The jail was tc be blown down with dynamite and swift horse, with guns, ammunition and clothing was to be stationed in an alley near the jail.
 Extra precautions are now being taken to prevent q delivery. Horns case is now pending in the supreme court on appeal for a new trial.

To guard against such a contingency Sergeant-at-Arms Plum mer placed thirty armed men under charge of Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Sherman Bell, who was a member of Roosevelt's Rough Riders, in the cham Der to protect it at all hazards.
 Shotguns and large calibre revolvers are very much in evidence and it is not thought likely that a capture will be attempted even if it were planned. The democratic members of the senate are still in session although most of them went to sleep upon cots early in the evening

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO-DAY.


 Senator Quay became very magnani- nous when he saw what a strong showing ke had made and permit d several senators to put through meas uras in which they were interested. Then he gave notice that tomorrow he would call the bill up at the earliest possible moment and insist that it hold on until disposed of. He said tonight that he was exceedingly well pleased with the days developments.
 At the beginning O. today's session he gave an intimation of his strength by forcing consideration of the bill at the close Of the morning session. Beve-- idge consented rather than submit to a test vote at that time. From this tina forward until a vote has been obtained on the bill it is safe to say that no hills of importance will be passed. and the reciprocity treaty will languish. Hav- ing given q demonstration of the extent of his following MT. Quay will try to rush matters.

Following the withdrawal of Stanley developments came thick and fast. and the outcome means the election of Con gressman C. I. Long as senator. As soon as the news of Stanley's with drawal was known, Congressman Bowersock immediately got out of the race, letting his supporters go where they would. Then the twenty nine Stanley men got together and pledged themselves to vote for Long. This gives Long seventy-five votes in the republican caucus or ten more than enough to elect.

orAY.s BLAND SMILE

Very we'll" retorted MT. Quay with his bland smile. MT. Cullom made the motion, the point of no quorum was raised and the roll was called. There were enough senators on hand and the roll call proceeded. Such Q scurryiug about the chamber as ensUc9 had aCt been witnessed in many q session.
 Beveridge dashed from desk to desk and in and out of the cloak rooms as if his very existence depended upon his activity. Bells were set jinglins throughout the senate end cf the capi- tol. and every senator who could be reached was speedily in his seat. More interest in the result could not have been displayed if a war measure were about to he decided.
 Beveridse checked off the name5 as the clerk called the roll and the look ou his face as the result became apparent vas most refreshing to his opponents. The call consumed a much longer time than usual. as both sides were extreme ly solicitcus that the pairs should all be announced. "Ayc- twenty-seve1: nays thirty-seven." finally declared the clerk.

MT. Lessler was again before the sub committee today at both the morning, and afternoon sessions and submitte 1 to a rather vigorous cross-examination. It was with some reluctance that he disclosed the names in connection with the charges he made of improper at tempts to influence his vote, but finally on pressure he gave two names. One Of the persons named, he said. had threatened him with defeat at the las. election if he did not vote as desired on certain propositions. The othc.. name he used in connection with his charges Of an attempt to influence his vote by a pecuniary consideration.
 MT. Lessler's charges are said to have lacked definiteness when he was inter rogated by members of the sub-com- mittee. The substance of his story was not that he had been actually offered a bribe of $5.0OO. but that it had been intimated to him that he could get 5000 if he would vote right. The members of the subcommittee today continued to observe the pledge Of se- crecy they had taken and Mr. LessIer himself declined to make any state ment for publication.

The signifcar~a af this victory lies in the fact that a stronger motion could not have been put by the opposi- tion than the one on which the fest Of strength was made. It is well known that some of the senators who stand with Mr. Quay are anxious to see the Cuban reciprocity treaty receive favorable action, and MT. Gull Iom argued that motion to go into executive session should influence them favorably.

MRS. TINGLEY
 ON THE STAN D In Her Libel Suit Against the
 Times
She Denies Some Charges and Ex- plains Others, and Especially Denies the One Relating to the Future Uselessness of the Mar riage Relation.

San Diego. Cal, January Mrs. Catherine A. Tingley was placed upon the stand as her own witness in rebut ting the testimony of the defendant in the trial of her action for libel against the Los Angeles Times. All the prin- cipal charges made against her and the Point Loma institution of which she is the official head were read to her and she denied them ad Geriatim. She made a cool deliberate witness and in the answering of many details that were evolved from the questions took most of the afternoon.
 She has a ready explanation fer such of the charges and differences that she did not repudiate. She stated with much emphasis that she had not with held food from children as was related in the deposition of pr. Anderson of San Francisco. but on the other hand 1t was one of her theories of child rear ing that infants should be fed every hal: hour. She flatly denied what De- ponent Louis Fitch of Hartford, Conn.,. had testified to in alleging that she had stated that life upon Point Loma would evolve a state which would make the marriage relation unnecessary.
 An incident of the day was the re- fusal of the trial judge to permit the jury to go to Point Loma to view the institution. although it was strongly urged by Mrs. Tingley's counsel.
