SITUATION AT DOVER.
Belief That Two Republicans Will
Eventually Be Elected.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
DOVER, Del, January 2.-While the
deadlock continues apparently as firm as
ever there is a feeling that the session will
not end without electing two senators. The
union republicans expect and are working
for another deadlock in the hope that Ad-
dicks will elect majority of the legislators
at the election in November, 1904, and then
have everything his own way, but the anti
Addicks men Irregular republicans and dem
ocrats aIike) state that they will do every
thing In their power to accomplish cleo
lions. The details are yet to be worked
out. Some of the regular legislators still
think that they should have say in the
democratic selection, but from the present
outlook this barrier will eventually be over
come. The democrats insist that they be
allowed to name their own man, and they
will not recede therefrom; they give the
regular republicans the same privilege.
The regular republicans are conducting a
quiet campaign; they are feeling their way
before making overtures to the democrats.
It cannot be said when a development will
occur. 1t may come any day, and 1t may
be deferred until later in the session. Mean
while the democrats await the decision of
the anti-Addicks republicans.

SINCLAIR LEARNS HIS FATE
Not Visibly Affected When Told Sen
tence Must Be Carried Out.

John Sinclair was not visibly affected
when he heard that President Roosevelt
had decided against his application for a
Communication of sentence. He was seated
In his cell reading a paper yesterday after
noon when Warden Harris called to inform
him of his fate.
"Well, Sinclair" said the warden, 81 have
bad news for you. The President has re-
fused your application"
well" Sinclair replied. that's the end
of me-"
He turned from the warden and resumed
the reading of his paper.
Sinclair has never expected clemency, al
though he has done everything in his power
to prevent his execution
His attorney and the Rev. Roberts called
at the White House in person and made
earnest pleas IN the condemned mans be-
half.
Sinclair also wrote a letter to the Pres
ident asking that his life be spared. In his
letter he called attention to the fact that
he has but one leg. and he also spoke of his
aged mother. He suggested the belief that
his execution would be the means of caus-
ing his mothers death.
Sinclair's mother. brother and sister will
probably visit the jail Thursday morning
and say farewell to the condemned man.
The Rev. Roberts was an early caller at
the jail this morning, and he spent most Of
the day with Sinclair
Warden Harris has Planned an innovation
IN connection with the execution of Sim
ciahr. Heretofore the custom has been to
require condemned persons to march from
murderers' row. in the south wing of the
jail. across the big rutunda, then the fun
length of a long corridor, and next to
mount high and steep stairway to the
seaffold Sinclair however, will. not have
to go through such an ordeal
Early Friday morning he will be trans
ferred from his cell in .'murderers row" to
a cell in the north wing OF the Jail. The
window of this cell is directly opposite the
Scafold and not more than two feet dis
tant therefrom. The bars will be removed
from the window and platform built, so
that all that Sinclair is to be called upon
to do will be to move from the cell to the
scaffold. He will not be required to take
more than half a dozen steps.
The execution will occur few minutes
after u o'clock Friday and the attendance
will be limited to the Jail officials, several
clergymen and physicians and probably not
more than three newspaper representatives.

perience, wild for six years exert them
against the politics Of our President, Theo-
dore Roosevelt. and will strenuously en-
deavor tn embarrass hinder and obstruct

REaULAT1oEs SUPERSEDED.
Five Female 1nspscton Wanted by the
Immigration Bureau

Immigration Bureau
The civil service commission has notified
the Treasury Department OF the suspension
Of civil services regulations In the case OF
i've female Inspectors OF immigration
whom the treasury proposes to appoint at
the port OF New York The purpose OF APP
pointing these inspectors Is that thor
ough investigation may be made OF charges
that young girls are procured abroad for
houses of nl-reputezin this country. and
that when theynleave their homes they are
ignorant of the intentions Of those bring
ing them over The women inspectors are
to meet ocean liners down the bay and act
something as moral monitors for incoming
immigrant girls. These inspectors must be
strong and hardy women, accustomed to
all kinds Of hours and to rough weather.
They must be able to climb the sides OF
steamers and converse in English, French
and German and possibly other languages.
In fact, the requirements were SO unusual
that the civil service commission, on con-
sulting its eligible lists. found no eligibles
who could fill the bill Mr.. Sargent, the
commissioner general of immigration, was
overrun with applicants, but found that
the majority Of those who called to see him
were not strong enough for the work. and
when one was strong enough she was lack
ing in knowledge Of the languages.
The suspension OF the rules by the CIVIL
service commission Is to allow the treasury
to appoint hve young women who VIII be
recommended to Commissioner Williams OF
the port of New York by Mrs. Margaret
Dye Ellis. superintendent Of legislation for
the National Woman's Christian Temper
anee Union. It Is stated that in New York
are large number Of young women OF the
w. c. T. U. who are working and for years
have been working, In charitable fields
there. especially among newly arrived peo-
pie in this country. They are familiar with
numerous languages, and are more or less
familiar with the plans Of men and women
who are said to be deceiving immigrant
girls. 1t IS believed that among the w. G..
T. U. workers in New York will be found
just the kind of women wanted for the
work that is to be done. Mrs. Ellis has
selected five young women who are doing
settlement work. In New York, and will
recommend them for selection.
The whole proposition IS experimental
with the Treasury Department. but If it
proves to be a success the treasury will
regularly carry these women inspectors on
its rolls. The civil service commission Is
to be notified whether the affair is to made
permanent, and II so will hold examinations
for eligible lists
