A CHECK TO GERMANY
holland Refuses 70 Make a Great
Fortress at Flushing.
[By Cable q ~. Tr.hr.rc. !

London, Jan. 1S.-From Amsterdam
comes the important announcement that
HoLiand has decided to withdraw, with
a We" to the modification Of the de-
renee scheme, one Of the principal OBJ
Jec's' winch was to make Flushing the
Sihralta" Of the North This proposal,
"h'ch was inspired by German inter-
ests' had aroused alarm in Belgium, as
h threutered 10 destroy the benefits Of
the neutrality guaranteed by the powers
under the Treaty oc London in 1880.
The erection Of powerful, fortiGcations
at Flushing would have had tho double
effect Of closing the Scheldt to naviga-
tion at will and cutting Antwerp off
from aid by Great Britain in case Of
need. In this manner Belgium could
nave been deprived Of supplies for its
army and inhabitants and British ships
could have been prevented from reach
ing Antwerp.
The decision of the new Dutch War
Minister TO reconsider the question will
be unpalatable in Germany. as it is the
hrst severe check sustained by the great
schemes which the Kaiser ,s
steadily developing in the North Sea.

when four men were killed. Another sug-
gestion was that there might have been
defective material in the pipe. but this is

A JOINT BALLOT TO-DAY
General Opinion in Albany Is
That Both Sheehan and Shep-

Albany, Jan. l7.-NOting separately to-
day the two houses Of the Legislature
were deadlocke1 on candidates for the
United States SenatorsAiD.
William +. Sheehan received the full
caucus vote, but in the Senate he lacked
one vote OK a majority and in the AS
sembly, on to-days attendance, eight
votes From indications late tonight,
almost no chance exists that he can get
the necessary majority on the first bal
lot Of the houses in joint session to-
morrow.
Ardent Shcehan men maintain that the
first ballot will show a gain of at least
four votes over the total Of ninety-one
registered to-day. That. however, would
leave Mr. eheehan six votes short Of the
necessary 1Ol on a full attendance Of the
Legislature. Many here feel that to-
DAYS vote was high mark for Sheehan
for all time. and that future ballots will
develop only a growing weakness.
The resultant situation is clear only in
one thing-that overnight the balance of
no,er has been transferred from Charles
Francis Murphy. Of Tammany and his

thor meeting will be held tomorrow, at
which definite scheme Of action may he

hind these insurgents TO the support OF

effectiveness lies in a sort of veto power
against Tammany.

eeesion. these insurgents would hold a
balance of power in each house. Such
. course most of them believe desirable,
not only as a protest against Tammany
Hall but also TO protect themselves
from Tammany revenge later in the
year.
AT present this veto power is a dis
zinc, menace to Murphy and Sheehan in

power Of the insurgents. Promises and
