DIX SEEMS TO BE THE MAN OF THE HOUR IN
 SENATORIAL RAGE

New York, January 29.--Like any other long, -drawn-out tug of war, the senatorial pull and haul in New York state has now settled to a stage where neither contestant being able to budge the other they have little wind for any, thing but work. Most of the leaders were here today to rest for tomorrow. but not one of them would talk.
 Charles F. Murphy spent 8 dull day at Good Ground, his Long Island coun- try place, and saw nobody. Thomas r. Smith, secretary of Tammany hall, his spokesman, told all inquirers, MT. Murphy has nothing new. He says he's going to stick, that's all.'
 MT. Sheehan was in town but kept himself close. Those who were willing to talk when the situation seemed more placid are now hopeless of defining is sues anew and refuse to be quoted ex- cept as they repeat that each days in action now makes the final action more important
 One wing of Tammany hall professes to see at Albany a condition approx mating convention days at Rochester when Mr. Shepard was a candidate for governor and his friends found it im- possible to get enough votes to nominate him and his enemies found it impossible to pick. any one on whom they could hope to defeat him.
 That deadlock was broken when Governor Dix. then chairman of the state convention. consented to take the nomination. Some Tammany men now say that although MT. Murphy is com mitted to Sheehan he would not be ad- verse to a similar issue from the pres ent impasse. They expect that some thing is going to be done about it after the first of next month. It is known that the governor already has been sounded. His friends here say he will listen to no such offer, but others in- sist that if the deadlock is not broken before February 1. it will be forcibly represented to him that he has no all ternative to consider but disruption of his party. These advocates cannot believe that. responsible leaders will permit the present situation to drag on indefinitely.

The growth of religious work in for

Baptists of the United States is some
thing wonderful when we consider the
educational advantages they have had
on the subject of worldwide missions.
Fourteen years ago they had one
missionary station and one mission
ary, with fewer than 200 members.
Now they have over 100 missionaries,
American and native, with valuable
school and church property in West,

amounting to more than $4,000.

n. Krolik was organized to keep
things moving in the meantime and

1T was very satisfactory trip,
said A. II. Zenner. 81 am not going to
miss any Of them. II means a better
understanding that benefits both the
wholesaler and his customer to see
what merchants surroundings are
and what he needs. II is a good thing
too, to get away from the Office for a

trip next week have not been decided.
Flint, Mt. Clemens and Port Huron
are under consideration. The trip will
probably be made on Friday so as
