 IN DELAWARE
The State Again Fully Repre-
 sented in the Senate
A Result of a Compromise Between the Addicks and the Regular Re publican in Which the Former Had Shade the Best of It.

Dover, Del, March 2.-For the first time in four years the state of Della ware today secured full representa- tion in the United States senate. At special session the state legislature elected State Senator J. Frank Alice, union republican, to a senators.ip which expires in 1907, and Congress man l.. Heisler Ball, regular republi- can, to the term expiring in 1905. The selection was undoubtedly due to pres sure from Washington brought to bear upon the regular republicans in the legislature, who all along have been opposed to the election of J. Edward Addicks or any of his 2dherents to the United States serate.
 Congressman Dick of Ohio came over today in the interest of republican at the Hotel Richardson where. prior to the joint session of the legislature, he received delegation from each of the republican factions. He advised the acceptance by the regular republi- cans of the union republicans proposi- ton, agreed upon ir Philadelphia on Saturday, that a union republican be elected to the long-tern senatorship and 9 regular republican for a short term Addiclls himself to be eliminated MT. Dick stated that the republican national committee desired this action.
 Anticipating the likelihood of an agreement between the republican fac tions, Democratic State Chairman SaulsbCry presented a proposition to the regular republicans, agreeing to use his influence for the election, with the aid or the democrats of two regular republicans to the United States sen- ate. This proposition was approved by the advisory committee of the demo- cratic state committee. but was not ratified by the democratic legislators in caucus.
 In the meantime a compromise was effected between the regular repubIi- cans and the Addicks (union) forces, resulting in the selection of d senator from each faction. The thirty fifth ballot was taken at noon, and resulted ,, in no election. Then, upon the motion Of Senator Sparfr recess was taken until 2:$0 o'clock. After an agreement between the union and regular republi- cans had been reported, the union leg lslators met in caucus and named J. Frank Alice as their candidate for United States senator. The democra ts in caucus voted unanimously to vote for one regular republican but were unable to agree on proposition to vote for two regular republicans.
 During the voting Congressman Dick and Addicks sat together. The latter eVlnced much satisfaction when the re- suit or the vote was announced. After it had been agreed to ballot for the long and the short term senatorships together. Holcomb, democrat, moved to adjourn but Speaker Ellison over | ruled the motion and refused to en- certain an appeal.
 Becoming angry, Holcomb said: "If you are going to crown your work with the worst infamy of years by showing to the world that you are afraid to treat one another fairly. we want to put it on record
 By this time the speakers pla tform was crowded with Addicks' adherents and prominent regular republicans who were coaching Speaker Ellison, and under their direction the pro- gramme was put through, J. Frank
 Alice being elected for the long term and L. Heisler Ball for the short term
 Addicks was the first to congra tula te
 Alice and he was followed by a long procession of legislators and specta-
 tors all oi whom were anxious to shake
 hands with the successful candidate. | The election is regarded here as an Addiclls' victory, because of the refusal
 of the regular republicans to agree to
 q compromise with democrats.
 II have only this to say" said Sena-
 tor Alice. that l sincerely regret that
 l have to fill the place that belongs tc MT. Addicks.'
