Dover, Jan. 9.-The Legislature
did not organize today and instead of
the deadlock being broken 1t is now ap-
parently frmer than ever. Matters
took a turn for the worse, as regards a
settlement, when It was announced
today by Senator Alice that a canvass
made by him of the United
States Senators in Washington
developed that the voting for
Senator should begin on the second
Tuesday after the organization OF the
biennial session. The different Sena-
tors were firm in their belief that the
special session of the General Assembly
did not figure IN the matter IN any
way. As these Senators will pass upon
the qualifications Of anyone who may
be- elected from this State, their judg-
ment is accepted as final.
In accordance with this ruling. all
possibility Of the balloting starting to-
morrow (the second Tuesday after the
organization of the special SESSION. Is
out Of the question. AS a matter Of
fact, 1t is not known when It will be-
gin. The adjustment of this problem
seems to have made the Assemblymen
believe that they need not hurry with
the organization. that the voting for
] Senator will not start until the second
I Tuesday after organization, whenever
that may be.

No Hope For Organization.

Subsequently Mr.. DUPONT was asked:
'Is there nothing in the way of a hope
for a permanent organization2"
"None that can see" was the reply.
'I only wish there was"
Have you formed any opinion as to
the beginning Of Senatorial balloting?"
Not the slightest"
Wen Senator Pennewin was asked
whether the Legislature was any near
er an organization. he said: Yes and
no. 1t certainly is nearer. but the
prospects are discOuraging."

Senator d. o. Moore, one of the
staunch Unions, stated: Il do not see
any immediate prospect of organiza-
ton being effected"
Notwithstanding the factional differ
ences that have caused the deadlock,
the Senators were in a jolly mood this
morning before they formally assem-

When Everett 4. Stone was In
aug,irated Mayor OF the city OF
Springfield. two years ago last Janu-
AIRY he was extremely nervous. and
he viewed somewhat impatiently the
long line OF citizens waiting TO shake
hands and offer congratulations. He
answered most OF the complimentary
greetings with "Yes. yes, thank you,
sir"
A friend of the Mayor noticed his
stIlted expression Of thanks. and
came TO the conclusion that the new
Mayor did not know what any one
was saying TO him.
"rn bet he'll make the same
answer II 1 should say the most out

friend said to n companion. Now

He got into the line and worked his
way up to the Mayor.
"The river is full OF ice. Mr.. Mayor"
he said in loud tone. SO that those
around him could hear. and the
Mayor answered, Yes, yes, thank
you, sir" and then the Mayor won.
