DEMOCRATS HOPE TO NAME A SENATOR ThtOld Addicks Fight Still De moralize! Politics in the State of Delaware. Dover, Del., 28.—Democratic leaders from all parts of the state to the number of 150, including all dAnocratic assem blymen-elect, except three, held a con ference here today to consider the situa tion relative to theelection of two United States senators by the legislature which which will convene on Tuesday next, January 2. No definite plan of action was decided upon, but the prevailing sentiment of those who addressed the meeting and generally of those present, was that the democrats should use every endeavor to prevent the election of J. Edward Addicks as one of the senators. The legislature will be composed of *3 democaats and 29 republicans. Of the latter the Addicts' faction is believed to control 18 and 11 are expected to oppose Addicks for senator. Should all sena tors and assemblymen be present and vote on the ballot for senator, 27 votes will be necessary to elect. Senate Chair man Willard Saulsbury presided at the conference today and urged that the democrats in the legislature should not enter into coalition with the republicans until the latter should agree that the democrats be conceded one of the United States senators. John Biggs, former United States attor ney and former state chairman, advoca ted the voting for two anti-Addicks re publicans, as did also Attorney General White, if the plan for the election of one democrat failed.

Boise, Id., Dec. 26.—The forthcoming senatorial contest in this state is develop ing some very interesting features. Among them is the candidacy of Colonel W. H. Dewey. While Colonel Dewey is not announced as a candidate for the sen atorship, still he is to all interests and purposes in the field for the place. Prior to the state convention it was understood Colonel Dewey would be a candidate for the senatorship before the legislature. He was among those who opposed the plan of making a nomination for the place in the state convention. Since that time there had not been much talk about his candidacy. It seems a large number of the colonel's friends are satisfied he can be elected owing to the complications that are likely to arise when the legislature meets. These friends have prevailed upou him to permit the use of his name in connec tion with the place, and a very active propoganda in his interest is being car ried on. Colonel Dewey, who is a democrat, is one of the liest known men in the state He has been very prominently identified with the development of Idaho's re sources. For a great many years he lived in Silver Citv and was a leader in the opening of the mines ol that section, and realized a large fortune from the Trade Dollar and other properties. More re cently he has made bis borne in Nampa aud is engaged in railway building and the promotion of the general interests of that section of the country. He owns the Boise, Nampa & Owyhee railroad and is building a road uorth from Nampa, known as the Idaho Nor : horn. He is just finishing a magnificent hotel in Nampa aud is putting in waterworks and electric lights and otherwise improving the house with his usual energy. Cooperative Millers.

Milwaukee furnishes one in a man who married his mother-in law. She was just twice his age. Min neapolis nearly matches this with a man who wed his step-daughter. Chicago re ports a man and woman marrying after 15 minutes' acquaintance. Marriages being so quickly arranged it is not sur prising that more marriage licenses were issued in the month of June than ever be fore in one mouth—2,150 or 75 per day. St. Louis nearly matched this with 50 divorces in one day. San Francisco doesn't claim so many divorces, but she divorced one couple in exactly 20 min utes from the time the complaint was filed. W. J. Bryan made 30 speeches in one day. Mrs. Reeves, in the insane asylum at Kalamazoo talked herself to death on Sept. 28. The Burlington road made a run of two and four-tenths miles in one minute and twenty seconds—130 miles an hour. The largest lumber deal of the vear was a sale by a Wisconsin dealer of 45,000,000 feet for J 1,000,000. WILL HOLD FAST Allies Will Not Abandon Pekin Until Safety Is Assured All. CHINA MUST AGREE TO TERMS Notify Chinese Government That the Occupation Will Continue That Long.

Ching presented the credentials of himself and li Hung Chang, who was unable to attend owing to illness, to the diplomatic representa tives, who handed to him the interna tional note. The official* of the state department arc unwilling to venture a guess as to the length of time that will lie consumed by the Chinese government in consideration of tbe note. The last article of the note notified the Chinese government that the occupation of Chi-li and Pekin may be continued un til the Chinese government has complied with the terms of the note. It may be stated, however, that the United States is not hound or affected by this condition. Our oAupancv from a military point of view has terminated, and there is no dis position to renew it. As for the other powers, it is expected that the main ob stacle they will encounter in withdrawing under this condition will be found in the difficulty iu obtaining satisfactory guar antees on the Chinese promise to pay in demnities.
