DRAMATIC SCENE AT DOVER Caucus Is Called for Tonlcht to End Deadlock IVIilch linn Lasted Since Governor Hnnn or Stan, ler Mny lie Named. J. Edward Addicks yesterday with' drew as a candidate for United States Senator from Delaware. In order to leave the way open for a reunion of the factions. The condition Is that all the Repub lican members of the Legislature shall so Into caucus and select two candi dates for the two vacant seats bjr ma jority vote. A caucus has been called for 8 o'clock this evening. The Union (Addicks) Re publicans will probably support either Governor Ilunn or Secretary of State Stanley. This caucus- will end a deadlock which has continued for eight years. DOVER. Del.. Feb. 5. The sudden an nouncement this afternoon that J. Edward Addicks has withdrawn from the candi dacy tor United States Senator, which he las urged so persistently since IKS. cre ated nn Immense sensation. Tho belief is general that the refusal of the United Slates Senate to confirm United States District Attorney "William M. Byrne had the effect of bringing about Mr. Addicts' withdrawal. The Union Republican choice for Senator In place ofAddlckjiwJlljih, ably be Governor Hunn or Secretary bZ state Stanley. State Senator AUee, the Ad- dicks leader, having repeatedly declared that lie would not accept the SenatoTshlp. air. Addicks arrived .here from Wilming ton -about 1 o'clock, going to tho Capitol. He was ushered Into tbe parlor of the State House, Trtiere all of the a Republi can members of the Legislature were as sembled to "meet him. together with Sec retary of State Stanley and Insurance Commissioner Marshall. The Assembly men received Mr. Addicks with cheers. nnd he appeared deeply moved by the heartiness of tho greeting. Immediately after Mr. Addicks arrived. Governor John Ilunn. who Is called the peacemaker in Delaware politics, entered the parlor. After the doors had closed those outside heard frequent bursts of applause and tho rumor became general about the Capitol that Mr. Addicks was about to withdraw from the most remarkable poli tical contest In the history of this coun try, a contest which has deadlocked three sessions of the Legislature and split the Republican psrty into factions. This rumor was confirmed soon after 2 o'clock. when the caucus adjourned. Address of Addicks. Mr. Addicks' address to the caucus was as follows: To the Republican Members of the General Assembly: My advent In Dela ware politics more than 11 years ago was preceded by Republican defeat and dis aster daUng practically from the birth of the party Itself. Whatever accidental ad- vantage was held In those long years was due alone to some outbreak of factionalism in the ranks of our opponents and not to any Inherent strength or confidence on the part of the Republicans themselves. Since 1S32 this state has been uniformly Republican. Owing, however, to the bit terness and strife which has arisen with in our own ranks, we have failed In se curing all those advantages that Justly have belonged to a party with such a con tinuous and brilliant record of overwhelm ing success. The cause assigned for this condition of strife has been universally proclaimed to be my candidacy to the Senate of the United States. It has been stated con tlnuously everywhere that, with this ob stacle to party unity removed, conflicting 'elements will coalesce and the party. harmonious and strong, having abandoned Its unlawful and Insurrectionary methods. would, thus reunited, enter upon a course of "lawful procedure In self-government and undertake successfully those weighty responsibilities which the government of this state Imposes upon it. Influenced by this" consideration and the obligations which the Republicans of this state owe to tbe National organlzaUon and to the ftdmlnlstraUon at Washington, urging no plea for" myself, recalling no claims for. any 'part I myself may have borne for years In bringing victory1 out of a past replete with defeat, influenced by the Strom; desire to see Delaware become a strong Republican state and therefore a prosperous, progressive commonwealth, trustlnjr confidently to the rare loyalty of friends. Indifferent to the clamor of ene mies, I have determined to remove the only reason assigned for tbe continuance of party disunion. Condition In Attached. "I herewith declare publicly my with drawal as a. candidate before this Legis lature for the office of Senator from this state in the Senate of the United States, "The- withdrawal of my candidacy Is" conditioned upon trie holding of a Repub lican caucus to be participated in by all of the Republican members of the General Assembly nnd the .selection of two candi dates for the Senate of the United States by majority rule In the sad caucus." The notice of the Joint caucus was as follows: Following upon tho withdrawal of Mr. Addicks for the office of Senator of the United .States, you are hereby asked to participate In a Republican caucus to be held at S o'clock P. M. February 5, In the hall of the House of Representatives, for the selection of two candidates for the office of Senator In the Senate of the United States. If this date should be In convenient, we designate 10 o'clock A. M. February 6. 1903, for holding the caucus." Even Now Trouble la Not Over. The caucus requested by the Union Re publicans did not take place tonight. A majority of the members of the Legisla ture left for their homes without Inform ing Uie Addicks adherents as to whether they would participate In a caucus to morrow. A number of the regular leaders met In Wilmington tonight and much opposition to tho proposed coalition was expressed. The claim .was made that Addicks' with drawal as a candidate for United States Senator was for the purpose of electing two of his supporters. It Is understood that the regulars, or a number of them, will refuse to enter the caucus because of these circumstances. Tho Democratic caucus met at the Cap itol Hotel to talk over the situation under the new developments, and several propo sitions were submitted to act quickly and defeat the Addicks move. The meeting took no definite action, tho members be ing disposed to await tomorrow morning's developments. The withdrawal of Addicks leaves the Senatorial muddle In a peculiar situation. If the regular Republicans do not accept the proposition of the 21 Union Repub licans for a general Republican caucus, then Addicks hgaln becomes a candidate. If they do accept It, It Is believed they will have no chance to namo a Senator from their own faction, for the reason that the Addicks Republicans will force the unit rule, claiming the right of tho majority to select the caucus nominees. Meantime the Democrats, eager to defeat Addicks. may Induce the regulars to ac cept the proposition to support two men selected by the regulars. WILL OCCUPY ACRE.

Th Senate leaders have carried out their programme of passing .as mild a trust measure as possible this session. They passed the Elklns bill and tbe Nelson amendment to the Commerce Department bill. Those members of both parties who professed to favor radical lesltlatlon acquiesced. Tbe House bill was too extreme for them, and they are now laying plans to smother the Llttlefleld bill when It comes up from the House. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Feb. S.

It becam flnnnrent that the, Llttlefleld bill, providing for publicity arid the control of trusts to some extent through the Interstate commerce clause of the constitution, would eo to- the Sen- ate Judiciary committee when lt passed the House. The Senate leaders did not want the Llttlefleld bill or a more radical measure to come before the Senate, and as a con sequence the Elklns bill was formulated, reported by the Interstate commerce committee and pushed. Likewise the Nelson amendment was prepared and au thorized to be made a part of the Depart ment of Commerce bill In the Bureau of Corporations, and has been agreed to, so far as tho Senate Is concerned, and will no doubt be adopted when the conference report on the department bill Is presented.- While no statement has been made that lt Is the Intention to sidetrack the Llttle fleld bill, yet the Inference seems to be that this will be done; In fact, those who opposed any, trust legislation at this ses- slon think they have gone far enough. Tt,nM fr Ha . the Llttloflcld bill out when lt reaches the Senate, but If the other trust legisla tion is enacted Into law by that time, lt wilt be argued that there Is no need of taking up the Llttlefleld In tho present Congress.

Interstate commerce and Its passage without a single objection I or attempt to offer a single amendment I seemed to commit both parties to It. Only a few conservative Senators opposed .the Nelson amendment In the committee on commerce. The House committee on Interstate commerce has not yet decided to take up the Elktns bill. If It doesnot, then there will be pressure to consider the Little field bill In the Senate. Whether the Re publican leaders who oppose some of the features .of that measure can prevent ac tion on the Llttlefleld bill remains to be seen. It can be delayed with a view of having the House pass the Elklns bill, and that Is possibly- the course that will be taken. Men like Aldr'lch. Elktns, Hanna and other Eastern Senators declared frankly at the beginning of the session that no radical legislation could be passed, and the manner In which the El klns bill and the Nelson amendment .to the Department of Commerce bill have been pushed Indicates that trust legisla tion In the Senate has been brought about by the knowledge that anything more se vere could not be passed In the short ses sion of Congress, and consequently a mu tuaf understanding was reached upon the two measures, the Elklns bill and Nelson amendment. TUTS LIFE IN THE DEBATE. Mormonlum Varies Monotony of Dally Pnltulnm on Stntchood. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. 5.

In some particulars. I Any amendment, of course, will furnish I new' ground for attack and win be to 1 the detriment of the bill, and If In the . end It should be decided to not amend the bill In this manner; It Is, of course, pos sible that the compromise now so gener- f ally talked of may be effected. ! The opponents of statehood would rather i welcome an amended bill, and If they are t ' successful In getting It will find It com 4 i paratively ensy to bring about the ulti mate defeat of the entire proposition, easier perhaps than If a compromise bill were presented for two new states.

REVIVE DREYFUS SCANDAL Llliertc Insists on Story but Deputy Objects to Political Uproar. PARIS, Feb. 5. The LIberte today re asserts.

Grosjean, a Deputy, who was Inter viewed on the subject by the LIberte, says: "If such new evidence exists, lt should be presented to the courts. Instead of be ing Injected as a political maneuver be fore the Chamber." Outside of the LIberte, the newspapers are not giving serious attention to the story, which Is regarded as only another manifestation of the old bitterness. EAST SUSPICIOUS Strong Feeling Against Germany. HER MOTIVES ARE DOUBTED Army and Navy Officers Say She Is Our Next Ejiemy. CABINET OFFICERS AFFECTED German Interference In Venesn'ala. Attributed to Desire to Trnt Limit of American Enilnrance in En- cronchlnir Slonroc Doctrine. There Is a feeling of hostility to Ger many In the East, which has been ag gravated by her action in the Venez uelan affair. If prevails among Army and Navy of ficers, and Cabinet officers have voiced lt amons themselves, though publicly denying that lt exists. There Is a suspicion that Emperor William deMrea to eee how far the United States will In'Lit on tbe Monroe doctrine, and that he seeks a costing station In Venezuela. In defiance of that doctrine. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Feb. 5. There is an unmistakable feeling In the East, and particularly In Washington, antagonistic to Germany, a feeling that has been somewhat Intensi fied by the attitude of Germany in the Venezuela Incident. Nowhere is this sen timent so strong as at the War and Navy departments, where army and naval of ficers are free to declare In private con versation that, the next war of the United States will be with Germany. On this point they are agreed. In these two de partments there has been much 111-feellng towards Germany as a" direct outgrowth of the action of. the German admlrtl at Manila andr the subsequent attitude of Von Waldersee In China. Without exception, all members of the administration, when consulted, deny tho existence of any antagonism towards Germany, and they only discredit reports to that effect. Yet lt Is known that among themselves and In private discus sions more than one member of the Cab- lnet has not only admitted the prevalence ' of this sentiment, but given Indication that he himself shares lt to some degree.. In New York the anti-German senti ment grows largely out of unsatisfactory trade relations with that country, the port of. New York getting the bulk of German trade. In Congressional circles here there Is a feeling of distrust of Ger many In .the Venezuela negotiations. The.re Is a general suspicion that Emperor William is looking for something more than a mere presentment of the German claims, and to some extent this distrust has spread in other directions. Summed up, there Is undeniably a feel ing towards Germany that Is not enter tained towards any other foreign power, a feeling that Is very generally experi enced but seldom openly acknowledged. In some quarters It Is believed Germany at this time seeks only to see hew far the United States will go In Insisting upon observance of the Monroe Doctrine. Else where lt Is suspected that Germany Is de sirous of obtaining a coaling station In Venezuela In defiance of the Monroe Doc trine. It Is felt that there Is something , material behind the demand for a pay ment of German claims. New Provision for Mnlllntr. WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.
