interview with the Committee on Fish,
oysters and Game. The measure
makes the months OF July and August
a closed season, and the fishermen
are divided as to its provisions.

and Delaware City want a closed sea-
son Of four months in order to prevent
the capture Of young spawn which
are now taken by market men and kept
near the large cities. where they grow,
and from whence they are sold. The

however want the closed season to

Dover, Feb. 9.-The Senatorial deadlock
in the Legislature continues. At the sec
ond days joint session. which began at
noon today in the House chamber an
other ballot for Senator was taken with
out result. Four Union Republicans were
paired with as many Democrats, thus re-
ducing the total vote to A. The futile
ballot was:
John Edward Addicks, U. r., IS.
willard Salisbury, Dem. Il.
Henry A. DUPONT, r. r., O.
Total vote "A; necessary to a choice 2S;
no election. The joint session then ad-
iourned until tomorrow.
The statement was made during the
morning that some of the Union Republi-
cans had paired with Democrats in order
TO avoid voting for Mr.. Addicks The stu
alton otherwise was unchanged and 1t is
not believed that the expected break from
the Union Republican ranks viii occur
before the first part Of next week possibly
on Monday.
Break May be Deferred.
Some Of the Democratic legislators ex-
press the belief. however, that the Union
Republican dissenters will not leave the
. Addicks ranks unless they know that
their votes will elect another man as
Senator Future developments will show
whether this is predicated on the exact
state of affairs.
All Of the Regular Republicans were
present at the joint session, and Colonel
$DuPont was therefore the only candidate
who received his full support. The mem
bers were in a hurry to get away, they
having arranged to leave on the 1858 p. m
train for Farnhurst where they will in.
spect the Delaware State Hospital during
the afternoon. They left Dover at that
( time. This fact may in a measure account
for the lack Of developments today.
