Albany, N. Y.. Feb. t>.—William F. Sheehan’s letter to Dr. Matthew D. Mann, ot Buffalo, expressing his de- termin-ition not to give up the flght for election to the United States senator was the chief topic of rliscus- sion among tlte legislators who re turned to Albany today to resume the balloting in the hope of breaking the deadlock. Mr. Sheehan declares the vital ques tion is not “shall Sheehan be elect ed ■’ but “shall this state continue a firm believer in representative gov ernment?” Representative govern ment, he says, must fall when the minority and not the majority rule. Senator Roosevelt, spokesman for the insurgents, says Mr. Sheehan’s letter will not change the situation in the least and that no break in the ranks of the inscrgents is expected. Charles F. Murphy’s expressed de termination is to fight it out for the majority “if it takes all summer,” does not seem to indicate an eaiiy break in the deadlock. • Albany, N. Y., Feb. 6.—The dead lock over the election of a United States senator continues today. There was no change in the relative strength of any of the candidates, the 17th joint ballot resulting as follows: Senator Newcomb, of New York, a republican, introduced a resolution to day requesting the judiciary commit tee of both houses to frame a bill pro- vldin gtor the selection of a United States senatorial candidate at the next general election.

Other thousands surrounded ^he parli amentary buildings. Their majesties rode in Ihe gilded stage coach drawn by eight cream- colored horses caparisoned in gold and purple. 'I'he king wore a field mar- Hhal's uniform. As the royal party passed the cheer ing was unusually hearty, as it w'as the first opportunity that the populace has had to express its gratification over the vindication of King George in the lecent libel suit against Edward My- lius. An escort of life guards preceded the state coach and yeomen of the guard follow'ed. Five state carriages, each drawn by six horses, were occu pied by officials of the court and gen tlemen and ladies in w’aiting.

Still Seaiching For Missing Man By Associated Press. Philadelphia, Feb. 6.—The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Richard L. Ashhurst, postmaster of Philadelphia, in Atlantic City a week ago remains unsolved. A heavy east wind made the surf rough today and prevented those prosecuting the search for the missing man from dragging about the piling of the pier where he »^as seen last. The finding of Mr. Ashburst’s cane on the pier Saturday night has con vinced the police of Atlantic City that he was drowned.

Ci.—The Insnr- recto junta in El Paso ann(junced thi-i morning that Orozco and his force had not retired to Samalayuca, but had taken up a position ten miles west of Juarez, within easy striking distance of the. town. El Paso, Texas, Feta. 6.— Outgen- eralled iu theii efforts to prevent the entrance into Juarez of Col. Ba- bago and 300 federal troops from the south, the Mexican revolutionists un der Pasijnal Orozco, are r»?ported this morning to liave retired to Salamay- uca, 25 miles south of Juarez, there to rej)lenish their supplies of ammu nition and to await reinforcements. lanis. with an insurrecto force of between GOO and COO men was re ported miles east of Jureaz last night. He had a sharp skirmish with a band of 100 iederals last night, the I'ederals retiring in tlie front of such overwhelming odds. Alanis was ex-^ pocted to join Orozco in front of Jua^^ rez before daybreak and assault the city but apparently the revolutionistsi plans have been changed, for so faf there have been no signs of an at* tack. In the meantime Gen. Navarro's command of 700 men w hich has been campaigning around Chihuahua c!ty is reported making forced marches tQ the relief of the beleaguered city. Should Navarro succeed in Rettinf? into Juarez with his forces, th« in surrectxjs will have their work cut out for them, for Navarro’s men are veterans seasoned by hard cam* paigning. Indeed, Mexican officials ar« now confident that the city, protected by 600 soldiers, is safe from assauU and that the campaign of the young revolutionist leader will soon end in his defeat and the scattering of his follow’ers. All this, however, is based on the belief that Gen. Navarro will reach the Rio Grande with his troops. Had Orozco succeeded yesterday in hold ing Rabago’s reinforcements, nothing could have saved Juarez from the hands of the revolutionists. But with Rabago’s troops witliin the city, Oroe- co and Alanis now have before them six hundred well armed regulars and Juarez, if it falls will, it Is be lieved, fall only after bloody fighting.

Chicago, Feb. 6.—Snow and sleet, which accompanied last night’s storm continued today to hamper traffic. Ful ly tw'o thirds of the elevated train service in the city could not be oper ated and there was hardly less serious interference with the steam railroads. In the case of the latter, however, the results were chiefly in the curtailment and delay of business rather than of total stoppage. By strenuous efforts street car lines on the surface within the city escaped a tie-up but trolley roads in the su burbs found many of the drifts Im passable and for the time being went entirely out of commission. Instead of growing bettter, the sit uation threatened to become worse, for freezing temperature set in, me nacing the telegraph and telephone wires in all directions. Condtion of Bishop Whitaker.
