DEADLOCK IS BROKEN
Delaware Legislature Elects
 Two Senators.
NOT REPRESENTED FOR FOUR YEARS
Thtrty-sixth Ballot Results I'm the Choice of T. F. Alice. an Ad-
 dicks Man, and l.. H. BaIl, a &a Regular Republican.

DOVER, Del, March 3.-For the first time in four years the state of Dela- ware has secured full representa- ton ill the United States senate. At a special session the state legislature elected | State Senator J. Frank Alice (union Republican, to the senatorship which expires in 1907 and Congressman L.. Heisner Ball (regular Republican, to the term expiring in 1905.
 The selection was undoubtedly due to pressure from Washington brought to bear upon the regular Republicans in the legislature who have all along op- posed the election of J. Edward Ad- dicks or any of his adherents to the United States senate. Congressman Dick of Ohio came to Dover in the in- terest of Republican harmony. He es- tablished headquarters at the Hotel Richardson, where prior to the joint session of the legislature he received a delegation from each Republican fac ton. He advised the acceptance by the regular Republicans of the union Re publicans' proposition agreed upon in Philadelphia Saturday that a union Re publican be elected to the long term senatorship and a regular Republican to the short term, Addicks himself be- ing eliminated.
 Anticipating the likelihood of an agreement between the Republican factions, Democratic State Chairman Salisbury presented proposition to the regular Republicans, agreeing to use his influence for the election with the aid of the Democrats of two regu- lar Republicans to the United States senate. This proposition was approved by the advisory committee of the Dem ocratic state committee, but was not ratified by the Democratic legislators in caucus.
 In the meantime compromise was effected between the regular Republic ans and the Addicks (union Republic an) forces resulting in the selection of senator from each faction.
 In expectation of settlement of the senatorial difficulty politicians and prominent men from every section of the state were present at today's ses- sions of the legisla ture. The election of Messrs. Alice and Ball was an- nounced to an audience that filled the house of representatives to suffocation. Men were standing upon the window ledges, and so compact was the crowd that many of the spectators stood upon the shoulders of others, supporting themselves against the walls of the as sembly room.
 The two senators will report at Washington on Wednesday. Dr. Balls term as a member of congress expires on that day.

possessing not only wealth but also social position. Both he and his wife were loyal to England. Maude was born in Dublin castle, and whilst a child was great pet with the vice. regal set in Dublin. In the capital city of Ireland she spent her early years, and then lived for seven years in France When she returned to lre- land, 1t was expected she would take her proper place in society, would identify herself with the class to which she belonged.
 But one day the story of an eviction started the warm-hearted girl to try to right the wrongs she saw all about her. She departed from the doctrines and principles of her old friend Cher parents now being dead), united her. self with the nationalists; and, at the age of 19, entered heart and soul into tine work to wnlcn Sne Delles eu nefseh called. To help solve the difficult prop lem of reducing the wretchedness or the Irish poor, to labor for the free ing of the political prisoners of Ire and, to this she resolved to dedicate her talents.

uerson. 1nd., boarded an east-bound train at Indianapolis for Grecnfeld- When the conductor looked at her ticket he told her that the train. m express, did not stop at that station. There was a predicament for the young woman. Whether or no she had to be carried past the town in which her friends were and into strange city. It was a puzzling situ- ation which the conductor might have met by the simple plan of stop ping the train in spite of the fact that it was not scheduled to.
 Cupid, however, had other plana for Miss Jessup. For no other rca- son than to carry out his plans he had a passenger on the train by the. name of w. E. Johnson, mining broker, going to Pittsburg. He be- came interested in the young, woman and discussed possible ways of rerne- dying the matter with her. The sim plest thing to do, as it occurred to him, was for him to marry her. Some people do think of the most prepos- terous things and have them ac- cepted It was thus with Johnson. Miss Jessup, just for the romance of it., probably, said yes.
 The whole train load of passenl gers then entered into the growing romance. The conductor telcgraphed ahead to Columbus, O., for mar riage license, and deputy went west to meet the train with it. As soon as the license was delivered a clergy- man was found among the passenI gers. He consented to perform the ceremony. By the time the train was pulling out of Columbus the mining broker and the young woman from Anderson, Ind, who never had met eacA other or heard of each other before in their lives, were mar- rfcd.

| Discrediting his story that the hold ing barely yielded enough to keep ten ant and family from the grave, the landlord turned them out.
 CT saw the reward of their obsti- macy this evening" said the host. I passed them on the way home. They are living in a ditch. His wife added the landlord, is ill; think she will die tonight
 Miss Come awaited an outburst of sympathy But from the brilliant company came only complaints of stubborn tenants.
 Miss Come decided to-do something for these 'stubborn'' people. She called on Parnell. Davitt, O'Leary anc other leaders, who at first were sus, picious of the genuineness and strength of the intentions of therich young girl. But she proved her earnest ness by her works. She went among the evicted tenants, and preached to them the need of supporting home rule She boldly stirred up tenant against landlord, reinstated evicted tenants, and in cases where the cabins Of the homeless had been burned, herself built new ones. She restored an en, tire village, though near by was a gar rison Of English troops. Finally, a warrant was issued for her arrest, and she fled to France. There she found many supporters, and also found a home.
 After close study of conditions at home, Miss Come traveled extensively to make these conditions known abroad. Twice she has visited Ameri- ca on featuring tours. On the conti- nent she has travelled great deal, ex- erting her energies especially in France and Belgium. In Paris she es- abolished a paper. Ireland Libre.

fish she spoke in behalf of the battle worn Boers. So you see, she and the major have much in common.
 In this day, when we are apt to de cry sentiment, or at least are bit ashamed of 1t, we smile a, little at the grandiloquence of the phrase Irish Joan of Arc" And yet Miss Come, if not a figure of mold heroic enough to compare with the tragic Maid of Or leans, certainly is picturesque and very interesting. In appearance she is decidedly impressive. She is ex- tremely tall for 3 woman, quite six feet. Her no ply y7shaped head is crowned with hair of light brown hue, below which shine out wonderful eyes, also brown of hue. Form and carriage both are queenly, and, notwithstanding her unusual size, she is very graceful. Miss Gone is now about 35 years old.
 By no manner of meansi is this we'll born Irish enthusiast to be taken. for an ordinary platform ranter; she is every inch g lady. Awriter in Harper's Bazaar describes her as she appeared before New York audience: "She has none of the earmarks of the plat form lecturer. She is gentle in voice and manner, beautiful, illogical, sym pathet very much in earnest. She lectures in a low-cut black velvet gown, which is caught at the breast with an ipunens silver brooch, and carries a loose bunch of white roses. She is everything the artist could de- sire, for she might have stepped down from one of Gainsborough's s canyases. When this fervent, poetic creature stands before crowd of yelling Irish men, with the flags of the Transvaal and Ireland and the Orange Free Stat 9 waving about her, and Father Drum goole's brass band crashing out mar tial airs, the enthusiasm and applause are tremendous"
 Though 8 lady, Miss, Come is good hater, neither in lecture nor interview dealing lightly with those she consid- CTS oppressorss She is an agitator of agitators, and her fire and fervor find instant response in the impulsive crowd to whom she is accustomed to appeal. Concerning the pro-Boer agi- ta tion she carried on in this country 8 short time ago, some of the Ameri- can papers remarked that Miss Gonne's vindictive clamor was made because she frankly acknowledged "England's difficulty was Ireland's opportunity" and that it was her policy to assail England whenever the chance offered, regardless of the right or wrong of England's position. As we said above, Miss Gonne is a good hater.
 And yet she still has many friends left in England; many warm admirers. Her good looks, which are unques- tioned, probably help not 8 few to for give her extreme views and her bold expression of these views.
 Unlike the French Joan, Miss Come was not born in a humble walk of life. Her father was wealthy and colonel. of dragoons in the British azmY. thus
