Washington, Jan. 23.— The senate
was on the verge of a deadlock today,
and for a time there were prospects of
a protracted test of endurance, extend­
ing the session lute into tiie night.
Morgan, in charge of the Nicaragua
canal bill, was determined to secure a
time for a final vote. This was resist­
ed, however, by Turpie and Vilas.
Thereupon, Morgan announced he
would ask the senate to “ sit out” the
bill, remaining in continuous session
until a vote was forced. This evoked
sharp criticism. Vilas finally made a
dilatory motion, which, on roll-call,
disclosed the alieence of a quorum, and
Morgan was obliged to give up his plan
for today, although he ex|iects to exe­
cute it, if an agreement for a vote is
not readied.
Turpie concluded his speech against
the Nicarauga canal bill, the third day
being a continuation of the former bit­
ter invective directed against the meas­
ure.
During the day, Chandler presented
tho credentials of John Edward Ad-
dicks, claiming the vacant seat as sena­
tor from Delaware.
The olaim of
Henry A. Dupont for tiie same seat has
already been presented.
In the course of a discussion over lay­
ing electric conduits in tho Washington

Washington, Jan. 23.— After a two
days’ debate, in tiie course of which
considerable
partisan passion was
aroused and an ineffectual attempt
made to filibuster for the purpose of
gaining time, the house today decided
the contested election case of Yost vs.
Tucker, from the tenth Virginia dis­
trict, by denying the seat to Mr. Yost
and confirming Mr.
Tucker’s title
thereto. The Repuhlilcans were badly
divided, fifty-four of them joining with
the Democrats and supporting the
claims of the Democratic conteetee.
When tiie supporters of Yost’s conten­
tion found they were defeated by a
narrow margin of eight votes (the vote
being 119 to 127 against him), they in­
augurated a filibuster in the hope of
gaining time, and for two hours there
was a succession of roll-calls, but they
were finally overpowered and the reso­
lutions confirming Tucker’s title to his
seat were adopted. Yost is a member-
elect of the next house, and Tucker,
who is a son of Raudolpli Tucker, lias
been a member of the last four con­
gresses. He declined a renomination
because he did not agree witli his party
on the money question.

Oakland, Cal., Jan. 25.— Knowing
that tier aged fattier had taken poison
with suicidal intent, Nellie Curran, 23
years old, went to bed w ithout calling
a physician, and arose this morning at
the usual hour to find the old man
dead. Thomas Curran was 54 years
old, and lias for years been employed
by the railorad company. He lived at
1664 Atlantic street, and Nellie Cur­
ran, his daughter, kept house for him.
For the pats few months the old gentle­
man lias been in [xsir health, and about
three weeks ago took a large quantity
of laudanum to end his troubles. Phy­
sicians saved his life on that occasion,
but his desire to end his life never left
him. Last night Curran came home at
tho regular hour. He secured a bottle
of chloroform during the day, and, Hfter
taking it, bade his daughter good-bye
and told her his troubles would soon
end. His lifeless body was found this
morning and removed to the morgue.
“ This is a peculiar east-,” said Coro­
ner Buldwin. “ This old man’s daugh­
ter told my deputy this morning, when
he visited the house, that she knew her
father had taken poison, but did not
call a physician because she thought it
too late, and then her father w anted to
die, anyhow.”
Tho young woman will be given a
shance to tell her story to a coroner's
jury.

Chicago, Jan. 25.— Men, women and
children are starving in Chicago in
sight of relief, becunse the county com­
missioners, blind and deaf, do not al­
low the county agent enough help to
distribute supplies. The county treas­
ury is rich in its surplus, and there are
an accumulation of appeals from hun­
gry families. Hundreds of these ap­
plications are more than two weeks
old. The heads of the families wers
discouraged then, and ms a last ra-sort
appealed to the county for aid. They
have seen their wives and children
grow weaker and colder, and no aid lias
come, no bread, no coal. These men
are des|ierate now.
The county agent is helpless to save
these famine-stricken men, women and
babies. He ha* relief on hand, but no
way to distribute it, lieeanse the com­
missioners have tied his hands, and are
deaf to the cries of the hungry.
A warning has been given that the
deserving poor are becoming dangerous
3rd that hunger is likely to drive them
to deeds in which their cry w ill be
"bread.” Men who gave this warning
know whereof they speak. They see
gaunt hunger at its worst, the glassy
eye of a strong man who hears the cry
of his wife and babies for bread and
warmth and is powerless to give it to
them. The men tell an appalling story,
but nobody on earth con tell of the
misery as it exists in Chicago today.
Wheeling, W. Vo., Jan. 25.— Short­
