International News Special

Washington, Jan. 5.-FFive deaths in the Senate since the adjournment of the last session and the overthrow of the Republican party in a group of states has directed the attention of many members to the fact that Re- publican control of the Senate throughout the SiXty-second Congress hangs upon a very slender thread. A deadlock in one or two legislatureG and couple of deaths among Sena. tors, known to be in rather feebk health, would result in the retire. ment of the Republicans from power. The Senate today consists of g.. members of whom g are Republicans and 33 Democrats, a Republican ma jority of P. In the SiXty-Second Congress the Democrats will make a net gain of nine, electing men of that party from states now represented by Republicans.
 In the Republican majority of must be counted II Insurgents, but there is little cause to fear that under any circumstances would these men form coalition with the Democrats, either to reorganize the Senate or to enact legislation of a political char acter. Whether or not the Democrats obtain control the indicat ons point to loss of power for the Regulars, who for many long years have domin- ated legislation in the United States Senate.

AS promised several days ago, Dis trlct Attorney T. Hayis Nixon will address the public ton ght at a mass meeting to be held at the Elks Thea ter Tor the purpose of devising ways and means to further continue his light to have the records of the vari- ous county off cials, both past and present, audited, with a v:ew to as certaining how much, if anything, the Officials are indebted to the county in fees in excess of salaries allowed under the law.
 The doors of the theater will be thrown open to the public at z o'clock and at o'clock MT Nixon expects to address those who assemble. As stated in 5000 circulars, which have been distributed throughout the city, MT. Nixon declares that it will be no political hurrah or powwow," but an effort to get the best citizenship in- tefeStS ln move to install a better system of accounting on the part of the officials of this county, and if pos s:Ible recover such funds as may be found to be due the county already.
 In discussing his intentions and just what might be expected of him tonight, MT. Nixon last night said:
 T do not expect to be wind ctive in my remarks and to avoid as far as possible saying anything that any honest man would become offended at, but l do expect to talk plainly about what the records of our coun- ty reflect and 'hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may.
 My connection with the whole af- fair has been an effort to perform an offic'a duty, and it seems strange to me that my motives should have been attacked and my conduct criticized from the sources that it has. I hope all the commissioners of accounts who have ever served in this county and Who now live here will be pres
 
 fear in saying that I can prove by any commissioner who may be pres ent that he has never served On a board that attempted to go into the matters that I have tried to have done by an accountant.
 s'I take it that it is never too late to advocate change in any system that has been wrong from it's begin- hing, and I believe that the best solu- tion of this whole affair would be to demand our representatives in the Legislature that they place all off, cials on a salary and thereby get rid of the nefarious fee system Tn fact, cannot understand why our

representatives and senators have not already passed such a law for this county since our people have once voted upon that question and, il l remember correctly, less than POO votes were cast in opposition to a measure of this kind.
 T take it, that it being mass meeting, and not of political nature that any citizen will be free to offer any suggestions about any matter af fectlng the good of the community that he might desire.''
 Many inquiries have been made as to whether ladies might attend the speaking at the Elks Theater tonight When Questioned last night regard ing the matter MT. Nixon said that he Knew of nothing that would occur to prevent any lady from being present and that they would be welcomed and gwen seats if they attended the speak ing.
