ADDICKS HAS WITHDRAWN Sensational Climax to Senatorial Contest That Has Been in Progress for Years. PARTY SPLIT IN FACTIONS Throe Lc(rlHlaturcH Have Itoen deadlocked In Determined Effort of Candidate to Secure Election. Dover, Del., Feb. 5. The sudden an nouncement this afternoon that J. Ed ward Addlcks had withdrawn from the race for United States senator, which he has urged o persistently since 1895, created an Immense sensation. The be lief is general that the refusal of the United States senate to confirm United States District Attorney William M. Byrne had the effect of bringing about Addlcks' withdrawal. , The union republicans' . choice for senator in the place of Addicks will probably be Governor Hunn or Secre tary of Stute Stanley, State Senator Alec, Addicks' leader, having repeated ly declared that he would not accept the United States senatorshlp. Addlcks arrived here from Wilming ton about 1 o'clock,, going lo the cap- Itol. He was ushered Into the parlor of the state house, where all of the 21 republican members of the legislature were nscmbled to meet him, together with Secretary of State Stanley and an insurance commission marshal. The assemblymen received Addicks with cheers, and he appeared deeply moved by the hearty greeting. Immediately after Addlcks arrived Governor Hunn, who Is called the peacemaker In Del aware politics, entered the parlor. After the doors had closed those out side heard frequent bursts a applause, and the rumor became general about th? cnpltol that Addicks was about to withdraw from the most remnrkable political contest In the history of the country, a contest which has deadlock ed three sessions of the legislature and spilt the republican party into factions. This rumor was confirmed soon after 2 o'clock, when the caucus adjourned. In his letter of withdrawal Addlcks says: "The withdrawal of my candidacy Is conditioned upon the holding of a re publican caucus to be participated In by all the reunbllcan members of the general assembly and the selection of two candidates for the senate of the United States by the majority, rule In said caucus." The caucus requested by the union republicans did not take place tonight A majority of the members of the leg. islnture left for their homes without the Information of the Addicks' adher ents as to whether they would partlci pate In the caucus tomorrow. A num ber of the regular leaders met in Wll mington lonlght nnd much opposition to the proposed coalition was expressed, claimants being made that Addlcks' withdrawal as a candidate for United States senator was for the purpose of electing two of his supporters. It Is understood that regulars, or a number of them, will refuse to enter the caucus because of these circumstances. B'tenns Ayres und are preparing a rv- olutlomiry movement.

Corvallis, Ore., Feb. 5. Ed White, the fugitive trusty recently escaped from the Oregon penitentiary, imitating the outlaw, Harry Tracy, killed himself after being wounded in an encounter with officers . near Eddyville, 30 miles west of Corvallis yesterday.

After the encounter with Sheriff Ross Sunday near Waldport, White worked his way back to the Yaquina river, having been seen at the school house near Chitwood early Tuesday morning.

Opinion tn Loudon Is That Macedonian Question Will Overshadow All. New York, Feb. 5. While the Vene suelun affair still has precedence as th leadlnc foreign oueMlon. says the London correspondent pf the Tribune, there Is u general feeling in Fleet street that U will be speedily ovevshadowed by the Macedonian qviestton. A formidable Insurrection against the Turks is expected in the early spring by nearly all writers who are follow lng the course of events in the Balkans. Predictions of a similar nature have been made year after year, but never with equal confidence since the prelim inary stage of the last war betwten Russia and the porte. The Turkish government clearly expects trouble and the Russian and Austrian govern ments also dread a movement from Bulgaria which they cannot control, slm they cannot agree upon a Joint policy.
