The new senate will be composed of 51 Repub­ licans and 41 Democrats, as against 59 Republicans and 33 Democrats in the last congress--a net gain of eight teats for the Democrats. In the house, according to the returns of the elec­ tion of November 8, the Democrats will have a majority of 65. Of 30 senators whose terms will ex­ pire on March S' next 24 are Republi­ cans and six Democrats, and the vari­ ous state legislatures elected on No­ vember 8 last will choose their suc­ cessors. There will also be senators chosen to fill the vacancies caused by the deaths of Senator Dolliver of Iowa (Republican), senator Thompsuu or North Dakota (Democrat) and Sena­ tor Clay of Georgia (Democrat), mak­ ing a total of 83 to be elected. Of the 33, 17 will be Republicans and 16 Democrats, representing a gain of nine seats for the Democrats and one for the Republicans. Where the Granges Come. The states where the senatorial toga will fall from|Republican to Dem­ ocratic shoulders are Indiana, Ne­ braska, Montana, New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Maine, West Virginia and Missouri. The one Republican gain occurred In North Dakota, where a Republican successor will be chosen to complete the unexpired term of the late Sena­ tor Thompson. Democrat. The legis­ lature of this state will also elect an­ other United States senator to suc­ ceed Porter J. McCumber, whose term expires in Mjarch. Three of the seneators included in the above count have already been chosen. They are Isidor Rayner of Maryland, elected to succeed himself; John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, to succeed Senator Money, and Carrol S. Page of Vermont, elected to suc­ ceed himself. The term of the late Senator Daniel of Virginia expires this March, and as the regular session of the Virginia legislature does not convene until 1912, either a special session will be called to elect his suc­ cessor or Claude A. Swanson, who is serving by appointment, will retain his seat until next year. No successor will be chosen to the late Senator McEnery of Louisiana untii 1912. His seat is at present be­ ing filled by J. R. Thornton, who was appointed by the governor. Contests In Many States. While the people of a few of the Btates have indicated their senatorial preference through a direct primary, there are bitter contests being carried on in the majority of the states where the senatorial vacancies occur. New York is a fair sample. It has been many years since the Democratic par­ ty of the Empire state has had a mem­ ber in the upper house of congress, anrl there are numerous asn!raEts to the seat which will be vacated by Chauncey M. Depew. They Include Edward M. Shepard, William F. Shee- han, Martin W. Littleton and a host of others. TOO MANY HALF-BAKED LAWS Illinois Attorney General Says Assem­ bly Pass Meaningless Acts That Cause Endless Trouble. Springfield, 111. -- Illinois is not hampered with old laws, but half- baked .and meaningless acts, passed by the general assembly cause endless trouble. This information is contained in the biennial report of Attorney General Stead, which was submitted to Governor Deneen. The report also contains sugges­ tions and recommendations which will be sent to the general assembly next week. "Laws are enacted, repealed, amend­ ed and reconstructed in bewildering profusion," the report says. "Schemes to regulate and in many instances revolutionize the courts, pro­ fessions, different occupations and various departments of state govern­ ment, are worked out over night, rushed Into type under title of an en­ acting clause and introduced as bills the next morning. From these and perhaps other causes has resulted a conglomerate mass of legislation which is inconsistent, ambiglous, often meanlngleBB and sometimes vicious." One Woman Dead; 13 Injured. St. Paul, Minn.--One woman was burned to death and 13 other persons were Injured, three, it is believed, fa­ tally, in a fire Friday which destroyed the Concord apartment house in Eleventh street.

Mount Vernon, 111.--One of the most peculiar killings ever heard of in this section took place when bloodhounds escaped from their keeper near Car­ rier's Mills and caught a man whom they were trailing and literally tore him to pieces. A residence in Carrier's Mills had been burglarized during the absence of the family and on their return tjiey ordered the bloodhounds brought to the scene. The trail was taken up Im­ mediately and the hounds in their eagerness to land their quarry broke loose from their keeper and chased the man they were pursuing into an old barn. There he attempted to es­ cape their attack but was unable to do so. He was pounced upon by the half mad hounds and so terribly mangled that recognition of his remains was impossible. PACKERS FIGHT FOR TIME Counsel Opposes Dismissal of Civil Action Which Wnujrf the Criminal Trial. Chicago.--Indicted members of the so-called "beef trust" will resort to every technical means within their knowledge and experience to stay the criminal proceedings b«gun against them by the government. This was made £lear Wednesday before Judge Kohlsaat in the United States circuit court. Attorney George T. Buckingham, one of the attorneys for the packers, obtained a delay to file objections to the dismissal of the suit in equity to enjoin the National Packing company from violating the anti-trust act. The government suit was dismissed on orders of Attorney Qeneral Wick- ersham. This was done with the pur­ pose of preventing the packers from escaping trial upon the criminal In­ dictments. LEX0W, GRAFT FOE, IS DEAD Man Who Laid Bare Corruption New York In 1894 Kxplr*| at Nyack. •f New York.--Clarence Lexow, fa­ mous as the man who headed the com* mittee which, in 1894, investigated the city government of New York and later, in 1897, as the leader of the sugar trust inquiry, died Friday night at his home in Nyack.

ROBIN'8 ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE JU8T BEFORE ARRAIGNMENT IN COURT FAIL8. SWALLOWS DEADLY POISON Takes Same Kind of Drug With Which Dr. Crlppen Killed His Wife, Belle Elmore--Doctors Probably Save His Life. New York.--Joseph C. Robin, Indict­ ed head of the Northern bank of New York, when about to b© arraigned in court Friday on the charge of larcfcfay collapsed from the efTects of a self-ad­ ministered dose of hyoscyamine, the subtle and deadly alkaloid with which Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen killed his wife, Belle Elmore. It was declared to be the third at­ tempt the young bank wrecker has made to destroy himself since the au­ thorities have been endeavoring to place him behind the bars, but like his previous effortB, was unsuccessful. This was due to the fact that he took but one-tenth of a grain of hyoscya­ mine, but it was the entire contents of a box containing the drug found in his BiBter's home. Robin is now in the prison ward at Bellevue hospital. The attempted suicide took place in the detective bureau in the criminal courts building where Robin was be­ ing asked for his pedigree as a pre­ liminary to arraignment, when in an­ swer to his Interrogators, turned to his sister, Mrs. Louise Roblnovich, and said: "Good-by, sister; I'm going--I've taken poison." Mrs. Roblnovich stared into her brother's face for a moment and with a groan of anguish that resounded through the corridors, swooned. Rob­ in next turned to Dr. Austin Flint, the alienist who had accompanied the prisoner and the lawyers ln£o the de­ tective bureau and Repeated the start­ ling statement: "Doctor," he said, "I am a dying man. I have taken poison tablets. I swallowed 12 hyoscyamine tablets of 1 120 grain each three-quarters of as hour ago. I knew the drug was in a drawer w$ere my sister kept medi­ cines and I took it just before leaving the house. I can feel myself going now." Physicians were hurriedly sum­ moned and Robin was carried into the private room of District Attorney Whitman, where he was stretched on the floor and the process begun by which his life was saved temporarily, at least. Confusion reigned supreme through­ out the building by this time. While the Burgeon was working over Robin former District Attorney Jerome, counsel in the case, followed by Dr. Austin Flint and Assistant District Attorney Nott appeared before Judge Cain and explained the situation to the judge, who granted a postpone­ ment of the hearing until Robin's con­ dition shall warrant his arraignment YOAKUM HAS A CLOSE CALL Head of 'Frisco System Attacked by Javelins While on Hunting Expedition. Galveston, Tex. -- Col. B. F. Yoa­ kum had a narrow escape from serious, if not fatal, injuries from wild JavellnB while on a hunt on King's ranch in southwest Texas. The quick work of two ranchmen and expert hunters, who rode to Yoakum's aid and killed three of the animals as they bore down upon the head of the Frisco system, saved him. Johnson to Fight in Paris.

POSTAL SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS OPENED IN EACH STATE. List of the Cities Where the Experi­ ment Is Being Tried--Deposi­ tors Receive 2 Per Cent. Interest. Washington, Jan. 8.--Uncle Sam be­ came a full-fledged banker today when an experimental postal savings bank was opened in every state and territory In the Union, in accordance with the postal savings bank bill passed at the second session of the Sixty-first congress. The poetoffices designated to accept deposits are aii of the second class, and are located in communities where the laboring element of the population is large. For the past month Postmaster Gen­ eral Hitchcock has had the various postmasters who will handle deposits in Washington Instructing them in re­ gard to the details of the new system. Following is a list of the cities where postal banks were opened: Globe, Ariz.; Oroville, Cal.; Lead- ville, Col.; Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; An­ aconda, Mont.; Carson City, Nev.; Raton, N. M.; Klamath Falls, Ore.; Provo. Utah; Olympla, Wash.; Lara­ mie, Wyo.; Bessemer, Ala.; Stuttgart, Ark.; Ansonia, Conn.; Dover, Del.; Key West, Fla.; Brunswick, Ga.; Pekin, 111.; Princeton, Ind.; Decorah. Ia.; Pittsburg, Kan.; Middlesboro, Ky.; New Iberia, La.; Rumford, Me.; Frostburg. Md.; Norwood, Mass.; Houghton, Mich.; Bemldjl, Minn.; Gulfport, Miss.; Carthage, Mo.; Ne­ braska City, Neb.; Berlin, N. H.; Rutherford, N. J.; Cohoes, N. Y.; Sal­ isbury, N. C.; Wahpeton, N. D.; Ash­ tabula, O.; Guymon, Okla.; Dubois, Pa.; Bristol, R. I.; Newberry, S C.; Deadwood, " S. D.; Johnson City, Tenn.; Montpelier, Vt.; Clifton Forge, Va.; Grafton, W. Va., and Manitowoc, Wis. The postal banks will be conducted on strictly banking lines with the exception that there will be no pass books, certificates of deposits being Issued in duplicate. Depositors will be paid two per cent. Interest yearly. The postal funds, placed in designated banks by the board of trustees, will yield the government 2 <4 per cent. It is believed that this quarter of one per cent, difference will be sufficient to meet all necessary expenses of conducting the postal savings deposi­ tories. A careful study of the law creating postal savings banks makes It clear that the government will be bene­ fitted largely, and that within a year or two after the system has been in operation Uncle Sam may have all the n^oney necessary to meet deficiencies, and to make effective public improve­ ments without having to appeal to Wall street for financial aid. iiFIINGE STMOI $100.00 for an Ide Swift St Company issue every year a calendar illustrated in Swift's Premium Calendar for 19 Ib entitled "The Courtships of American Poetry."
