Thore were twelvo mombers paired aud
two absent without pairs. Sonator Quay is
thirteen short of an election, and the anti-
Quayites polled their full strength, S3 votes.
The two members from I'kttadelphla con
tinued to vo'.o for I'. A. 11. Weidenor, aud
Senator Suyder, of Luzerne, also held on to
Mr. Marklo as his favorite, notwithstanding
Quay cmisarics wore in Ilazleton and in
duced a number of prominent Republicans to
telegiapli Senator Snyuer requesting him to
chiiUKi) his vote to Quay.
A liKEAK KXPECTED.
That a break in the deadlock Is expected
soon seems apparent from the expressions of
the Icmlors of both Bides. Senator Quay has
not yet arrived here, but the hurried de
parture of Chairman John P. Elkin for Wash
ington at midnight is looked upon as signifi
cant. Just before his departure ho remarked
that the deadlock would be broken by Thurs
day. AMONO THE DEMOCRATS.
It is well known that the Quay peoule aro
endeavoring to effect a break in the Demo-"
cratic column, with the hope that a sufficient
number will go to Quay to cause his election.
The anti-Quay Democrats have called upou
Congressmen and Congressmen-elect of their
party to come to Harrisburg to stiffen up the
backbones ot the Democratic legislators. It
is their opinion that some of the Democrats
are the least bit too friendly with Mr. Quay.
Candidate Jouks Is urging his party members
to stand by him to the finish or else fuse with
the anti-Quay Republicans.
HETTINO AGAINST QUAY.
The first bet of any magnitude on the out
come of the Senatorial struggle was made at
the Commonwealth Hotel last evening. The
bettors were former Senator Kauffinau, rep
resenting the antl-Quayites. and a I'Mladel.
plilau, acting for the Quay men. At drat It
was suggested that the bet be J200 a nld.,.
Mr. ICauffmau then offered to make the bet
$500, and the Philadelphia man proposed
raising tne bet to fSOOO. The Lancastercoun
tisn demurred but finally accepted. He
wagered that Quay could not succeed him
self.
The Quayites are somewhat worried over
the Illness of Senator Grady, the Quay leader
in the Senate, and he may not be able to
leave Philadelphia this week.
SENATOR LOSCH'S POSITION.
Senator S. A. Losch, of Schuylkill, the
anti-Quay member who has been voting for
the senior Senator, gives out the following
interview : "My course in the pending Sena
torial contest has been entirely consistent
with the principles of the Republican party.
I did not attend the caucus which nominated
Senator Quay because I was opposed to an
early caucus. But when I learned that over
two-thirds of tbo Republican members of tho
Legislature participated in the caucus and
unanimously agreed to support Senator
Qnay, I felt that I would be severing all the
ties which bind me to my party, were I not
to accept Senator Quay as my candidate. I
have always been a Republican and believe
that the majority should rule. In lS03,when
I was a member of the House, I voted for
John Dalzell for the United States Senate In
the caucus, and when Senator Quay received
the votes of the majority, I supported him
when the ofilcial ballot was taken. In 1890 I
represented my district in tho Senate and
voted for Mr. Wanamaker in the caucus for
United States Senator, but when Senator
Penrose was chosen by the majority of the
Republicans, I acquiesced and gave him my
vote In the Senate. So far as Senator Magee
Is concerned, he and I have been personal
and political friends for a quarter of a
century, I regard him as one of the most
stalwart Republicans in the state and I am
glad to look upon him as my friend. My
course has not been dictated by Senator
Magee in this matter or any one else. I
simply followed my own judgment.
THE ANTIS OBJECT.
A statement by the anti-Quay steering
committee vigorously protests against
"the unwarranted and unusual at
tempted Interference t the chief ex
ecutive ot our statu with the members
of the legislature for the purpose of In
tluencitig their votes for the election
of M. S. Quay to the United States
senate, we regard the open letter of
Governor Stone as an Improper Inter
ference by the executive branch of the
government with the rights and duties
of the legislative department of the
commonwealth." The statement pro
oeeds at length to declare that Senator
Quay has used every means to prevent
a trial of the conspiracy charges
against him.
Senator Penrose arrived from "Wash
Ington yesterday afternoon and joined
the friends of Senator Quay at their
headquarters. He said: "I left Sen
ator Quay at Washington today In ex
cellent spliits. He Is hustly engaged In
appropriations committee work In mat
ters requiring his personal attention,
He may or may not be here this week,
His friends have advised him that there
Is no necessity at this time for hi
presence here, as the condition of his
canvass Is In excellent shape, and mat
ters are being attended to by his friends
satisfactorily. I have no reason to
change my opinion that Senator Quay
will be re-elected at the proper time."

The tickets to be voted for at tho primaries
of the Citizens party of town doxt Thursday
wore completed last night. When tho Stand
ing Committee met on Saturday night it
looked very much as II tho party would
have- no ticket In one or two of the wards.
Last night the oommitteo again met to fill
vacancies on tho tickets and completed all of
them. The meeting was attended by the
following committeemen : Messrs. William
Patterson, Thomas Dove. Jr., George W.
Kelperand William M. Cannon.
Several people had interested themselves
during the day In selecting material lor tho
vacancies, and when the timo for the com
mlttco to act arrived little difficulty was
experienced In making up full tickets. In
fact there were as many as four names pre
sented for sotno of the vacancies. Tho com
mitteemen were highly gratified with the
result of the evening's work and feel con
fident that they have several winners on the
list.
The old rules as to the make up of the
tickets will remain in force this year. All
the tickots will be printed aud distributed
under the supervision of the committee.
Candidates having opposition will he supplied
iu time for a canvass before tho primaries
open and a supply will bo left with tho

of the Senatorial contest.
It Is said Ltu Bowman, Esq,, will bo the
next postmaster at Schuylkill Haven.
The citizens primaries will be held on
Thursday afternoon. There are very few
contests to leave any bad feeling afterwards.
This Is well.
The Democratic party is badly divided.
About the only wards iu which there is a
semblance of harmony is the First and
Third.
Benjamin R. Severn, who had announced
himself as a candidate for School Director in
the Second ward, subject to the Citizens
party rules, has decided to withdraw from
the contest. Mr. Severn takes this step In
the interest of party harmony and at tho
suggestion of several of his personal friends.
School Director Kelper will therefore be re
nominated without opposition, and his elec
tion in February is assured.
The Second aud Third wards, with the
smallest Democratic vote In the town, prac
tically dictated the Democratic ticket. That
was hardly fair to the candidates from the
Fourth and Fifth wards.
The only contests for nominations in the
Citizens ranks Is In the Fourth and Fifth
wards.
One thing Is sure. The Democrats cannot
make their contest this year on reform lines.
Their record is against them.
The use of voting machines was approved
yesterday by the House Committee on the
election of President and Vice President.

Washington, Jan. 14. The executive
session of the senate yesterday was de
voted wholly to the discussion of the
promotion of Admirals Sampson and
Schley and other naval officers an
KRged In the Santiago campaign over
the heads of oRlcers who were their
suiierlors In rank. The controversy
was then postponed for 30 days, after
n vote had been taken to call for the
records of the navy department bear
ing upon the conduct ot all affected by
the advancement.
The discussion arose over the resolu
tion, of which Senator Butler was the
author, calling for these documents.
As originally offered It asked for the
reasons for the advancement, but the
resolution was modified so as to re
quest the record only. The first vote
was on a motion made by Senator Hale
to lay the resolution on the table, and
on this the yeas and nays were taken,
resulting In 17 yeas to 36 nays. The
resolution was then allowed to pass
without further division.
tJor three hours previous to this, how-1
ever, the senate had been engaged In
a very animated verbal battle, which
Involved many Intricacies and was par
ticipated In by a large number of sena
tors. The main contests were first over
the general policy of promoting these
officers over others who were char
acterized as quite as deserving though
less fortunate. In that they were de
prived of such active participation In
the war, and second as to the relative
merits of Sampson and Schley.
Senators Gorman and Wellington, of
Maryland, one a Republican and the
other a Democrat, united in h florid
attack upon the navy department for
favoring Sampson over Schley. While
Senators Lindsay, ,1'ettlgrew, Perkins
and Money attacked the whole system
of promotion as "a species of favorit
ism which was not warranted by the
facts." The method of the administra
tion was defended by Messrs. Hale,
Chandler and Lodge. Senator Welling
ton was especially zealous tn his ad
vocacy of the claims of Admiral Schley,
and In his presentation of reasons why
Admiral Sampson should not be pre
ferred over him, and both he and his
Democratic colleague, Mr. Gorman,
made the statement that If the official
papers were ordered they would dem
onstrate beyond a possible question the
fact that Schley, and not Sampson,
fought the battle of Santiago. They
contended that with Sampson ten miles
away he could not be accredited con
structively with having command of
the fleet on the memorable day when
the Spanish vessels were sent to the
bottom. On the contrary they held that
Schley was on the ground; he was the
senior officer, and that he was en
gaged actively and most effectively In
the conflict all the world knew, re
gardless of the favors of the govern
ment at Washington.
Senator Lindsay found much tn the
promotion of both Schley and Sampson
over Commodore Watson to condemn.
He took occasion to praise atson as
a man who would undoubtedly have
made a fine record In the war If given
the opportunity he should have had as
a senior officer, and said that to de
prive him of his rightful rank because
other men were pressed to the front
and given the posts of honor was In
every way unfair and unworthy of a
great country. Senator Perkins, Sen
ator Piatt, of Connecticut, and Senator
Pettlgrew also criticized the system as
one liable to result In unfairness.
Senators Hale and Chandler, both
members of the naval committee, de
fended the action of the navy depart
ment In giving preference to the men
who took upon themselves the brunt or.
the battle In Atlantic waters, and in
pieferrlug the man who was In com
mand of the fleet. They deprecated
the opening up ot a controversy, which
Senator Chandler said might lead to a
condition which might prove as un
savory as that which the war lnvestl
eatlng commission has developed In
connection with the army beef con
tracts. Senator Lodge joined In de
ploring this policy, and owing to the
fact that he had but recently, In the
Interest of private research, made an
exhaustive Investigation he was en
abled to throw 'much light upon the
controversy on behalf ot the conten
tion that the controversy should not be
Bttrred.
During the presentation of this side
much was said In uphuldlng the claims
of Sampson In preference to those ol
Schley, and the friends of the latter
officer were "warned that If they In
sisted upon pressing the Investigation
too closely some facts would be de
veloped that would not be agreeabla
to them." The i-harge was made that
Schley had voluntarily left Santiago
after reaching the Vicinity of that port
and after Cervera had entered the har
bor, and also the charge that when tha
Spanish fleet had sailed out through
the narrow mouth of the channel Ad
miral (then commodore) Schl,y had
made a reverse movement with the
Brooklyn and had gone In a direction
opposite to that taken by the Spanish
squadron, Instead of boldly attacking
the enemy In the beginning. It was
asserted that these facts were among
those whl"h the archives would reveal.
The friends of Admiral Schley de
clared they had nothing to fear from
having all the facts known. Explain
ing his start to leave Santiago and his
refusal to obey department orders be
fore Sampson's arrival, they said that
It was because he had been unable to
coal at sea. When they were asked
how it had hoppened that they had
been able to coal 36 hours afterward
they replied that this was due to the
fact that a storm had given place to a
calm.
