Hitrrisburg. Feb. 10. There was nn ma
terial change In tho Senatorial flcht at the
joint session to-day, a light voto belug re
corded. Iliore were 170 members present

i hero is consternation in the Quay camp
because of tho postponement of a vnto nn tlm
McCarrelljurors hill until March 21, after
the trial of Senator Quay. The result was a
surprise, and tho antl's doclaro tho vote dem
onstrated their claim that Quay cannot be
re-elected, iliero Is no getting away from
the fact that tho Quay managers havo made
several failures and disappointments begin

enter the party caucus, and tho public en

an anti-Quay Senator in Lebanon cnlintr.
and now followed by tho practical defeat of
the McCarrell bill.
On this measure Roprescntativss Anderson.
Constein and Guenther, of Schuylkill voted
witu the Quay people against postponement,
whilo O'Brien, llaag and Noccker of the
same county, favored postponement. Senator
L.09C11 s voto is not recorded. An analysis
of tho voto shows that 37 anti-Quay Republi
cans, 5 Quay Republicans and 51 Democrats
favored a postponement. Tho omioncnts
comprised 74 Quay Republicans, one anti
Quay (Snyder, of Luzcrno), aud 17 Demo
crats. It will require 103 votes for final pas
sage, thirteen more than the Quay people
musiereu yesterday. Kcconsideratlou must
be made within five days, aud two members
who favored postponment must be secured to
make the motion, which Is doubtful to accom
plish. Tho Democratic chiefs are at nrcsent
furnishing entertainment to the tired
out politicians. The verbal warfare be
tween GulTey and Sibloy received a coutrlbu-
linn from the oil man iu which lie pooh
poohs Sibloy, says ho means well, but that
neither he nor any other can divide the
Democrats so as to aid Quay. Uo admits
that a caudldate other than Jenks may bo
taken up shortly, but ho denies that the
Democratic voto will bo disintegrated.
Insurance Commissioner Durham said this
morning that he had uo reason to change his
opinion of tho certainty of Quay's election.
"We are in a better position than ever. We
are opposed by four forces against whom we
present a solid front. Tho anti-Quay Re
publicans are divided by factional differences
and cannot get together for anybody, and
Democrats are also divided into two parties,
while we are as solid as we were tho day the
fight started, and will remain so until the
end."

the disappointed workers presented a pltltablo

Their appearances wore distressing and their

tho weather was of extreme severity a

The effect upon the community is such as
to arouse the deepest sympathy for that class
which is possessed of limited means with
which to procure clothing and fuel, and these
cases are numerous. There Is great suffering
among the poor people. When one considers
tho difficulty experienced by those more
generously blfssed to keep themselves com
fortably warm in tho present crisis it is
surprising that the poor families mauage to
survive tho ordeal.
From all quarters of tho town complaints
arc mado of frozen and bursting water and
beating pipes and au unprecedented harvest
is in store for the plumbers and steam fitters.
To them tho town is little short of n Klon
dike. Among the loudest complainants are
the hotel and saloonkeepers, especially those
having their places equipped with beor
pumps. The man who wanted beer or like
liquid refreshment to-day had to take it in a
block and suck it until his thirst was
quenched. If tho present snap Hits much
longer signs reading "Beer in blocks" may
become conspicuous.
Of course the registrations of tho thermo

of tho instruments. Among tho early records
this morning were the following : A. It.

A BRILLIANT EVENT.
IVatl and Merriment In All Saints' I'ar
oiiagfl I.nt livening.
One of the prettiest and most unique
gatherings of a social character in local
events this season was the semi-annual sup
per tendered to the choir of All Saints'
church last evening, at the parsonage on
South Jardln street, by the rector, Itev G. W.
Van Fostea, and his hospitable wife. It was
a Mother Goose supper, all the guest ap
pearing in many of the prominent charac
ters of nursery rhyme, and enacting
and speaking the parts. There was also
vocal and instrumental music. Several
tables were decorated lu an artistic manner
with paper designs of various colors, Cowers
and sniilax. This branch of the arrange
ments reflected much credit upon Mrs. Van
Fcssen as a decorative artist. Mrs. .1. H.
Martin was awarded the ladles prise for the
most appropriate costume. She appeared as
Jill, whose expvrleure on the hill with Jack
and the pall of water is so well known to
both youug and old. The prize was a bottle
of cologne. Mr. James Hough was awarded
a box of candy as the gentlemen's prise for a
King's costume. Tho supper table was a
gem of perfection and the menu of a superior
onlor. It comprised oyster on shell, fried
oysters, Saratoga chips, bread and butter,
chicken croquette, peas, chicken salad,
crackers, ice cream, cake, stuffed dates,
coffee, pickles, lemonade, cheese straws,
claret punch, candy, cigarettes, cigars and
pipes. The menus were distributed as
souvenirs of the occasion, as were also the
church warden pipes used during tho repre
sentations of several of the characters.
Incidental to the events of the ovening the

Leadvllle, Colo., Fob. 10. The snow
storm continues with unabated fury.
The pttuntlon here Is critical. A meet
ing of mining', smelter and other busi
ness men to discuss measures of relief
was held yesterday. It was agreed
that It steps were not taken to break
the railroad blockade hundreds of live
may be lost. It was decided to put all
available men at work opening; the
railroad between this city and Malta,
Colo. George W. Cook will head a party
of 1,000 snow shovelerB. No trains are
running on the Denver and Ftlo Grande
west ot Salldo, and the Colorado Mid
land Is completely tied up.
This city Is certainly facing a des
perate situation. The ordinary con
sumption of coal In the oamp Is COO
tons a day. There are today but a few
carloads left. Two feet of fresh snow
has fallen In the past 48 hours. The
rotary Bnow plow on the Denver and
Rio Grande Is out of service, being
caught between two trains surrounded
by snowslldes near Red Cliffs. Unless
the Rio Grande or the Midland road
can be quickly opened not only must
the smelters and mines close down, but
the pumps at the down town mlnen
must stop work, causing Irreparable
loss.
At the meeting of mine and smelter
managers Colonel Cook apr-'d to the
managers to come to the .1 of the
railroads, not for the purpose of en
abling passenger trains to move, but
In order to bring In supplies. He said
If tho smelters closed down and th
water flooded the down town mines 'It
meant that a year's work would be
lost to Leadvllle. The response was
prompt. In less than ten minutes 600
men had been furnished, and this
morning Colonel Cook started with his
1,000 shovelers to clear the Rio Grande
tracks to Malta, where a train of coal
Is stalled. It will probably take two
days to clear the tracks to Malta, a
distance o five miles. When that Is
finished the services of the shovelers
will be offered to the Midland road.
The little coal on hand Is being dis
tributed sparingly among the properties
working pumps.
ARMY BILLMUST PASS.
Ir tho Sonato T)ofent It the President
Miittt Cull nn Extra Session.
Washington, Feb. 10. The Post says:
The army reorganization bill must pass
or the president will call an extra ses
sion of congress. The opposition to the
bill In the senate has already been fre
quently referred to and the prediction
made that some compromise would be
agred upon whereby legislation of a
temporary character would be placed
upon the army appropriation bill. This
will not satisfy the administration. No
makeshift expedient will be accepted.
The president has determined that the
passing of the army bill shall be made
an Issue, and there Is no doubt In ad
ministration circles that he will be suc
cessful. If, however, any obstacles should pre
vent action, an extra session will sure
ly be held. The conditions which have
arisen leave no other course to be pur
suel by the president. A decision was
yesterday rendered by the attorney
general to the effect that as soon as
the ratifications to the peace treaty are
exchanged the volunteer soldiers can
no longer be retained In service. This
Is also true, the attorney general holds,
of the additional regulars who were
enlisted for the war with Spain. Con
sequently, without the desired legisla
tion, the president will find himself
with an army reduced from 65,000 to
25,000 men.
