senatorial deadlock exists In the Leg
isiature as the result of new polis-
ical move on the part OF Speaker Baea
and his lieutenants. when the speaker

uation now stands exactly as IL did be-
fore the senatorial election OF some
days ago. with the exception that the
deadlock now is between the senate
anu the house and not between midi
vidual members. The Republican ma

ton OF senator Fall. The coalition In

toriRi election al this session and that

troll the house and they will control
