(Special Telegram.) Tliu third week for balloting for United States senator starts out with the dead Jnik Ktlll unbroken ami with thn competing candidates little changed In tholr rolatlvo prsltlntiH.

While several of tho leadors hae moved up during tlio last week, tho position of Mr. Rosowntcr, reinforced by the accession of Speaker Hears nnd Reprc Fontntlvo Hull, tho two Hurt county mem bers, has been materially strengthened In fart, so much to that Congrossmnn Mer cer who has been hanging around since the opening wnltlng for somethltiK to drop his way. lias i;lven It up as n had Job nnd started back to Washington, currying bis disappointment with him. Outside of the Joint session It must be ndmltted tlmt somo hendwny has been mad.' by tho oppononlH of 1). K.

These men aro really op posed to nny caucus nt nil for tho present somo of them are posltlvo In saying they vlll not go Into caucus as long as Thomp son Is n factor.

Tho Inquiry Is now snld to have been Instituted by tho Thompson Hes to head off n similar movo threatened by his enemies.

Members of tho legislature began to re turn from their homes tonight, and, al though there are perhaps not moro than a dozen of thorn In tho city, interest In tho senatorial contest has been revived and predictions nro being freely mndo that tho balloting of tho week will bo repleto with interesting If not unexpected features. To morrow tho voting will probably bring out no changes of nny consequence, but It would not bo surprising If on tho following days thuro aro developments tending toward settlement of the contest, though on tho mirfnco It appears that tho solution of tho problem Is about as far olt as when tho bal loting began. OIcmiiii ( nil (iuliiN In I'll v or. It Is tho prevailing Impression that tho majority element, composed of tho members who hnvo Insisted on tho single nomina tion plnn for tho cnueus, will in tho end hnvo to accede to tho wishes of tho mi nority, or thoso who protest against tho single ballot plan and demand that both nominations shall bo made simultaneously. The Oli son call has been gaining In popu lar favor, ami many members look upon It ns tho first deelslvo step townrd tho elec tion, but thoso of tho majority assert that I' Is so radically different from the call they have already signed that they cannot nfllx their names to It until tho word conies down from nbovc. or. In other words, until they nro satisfied that tho conditions pro posed aro acceptable to their favorite can didates. Tho leaders of tho opposition to Thomp son have been mnrshallng their forces for a determined effort during tho next fow days nnd an Interesting conflict Is expected. They Insist that they hnvo found weak places In Thompson's supposed solid following nnd that tomorrow 01 next day they will begin n systematic hammering process that will bi pursued with sreater energy than has so far been shown. On tho other hand, tho Thompson backers contend that tho danger line has been passed and that all tho ex plrslves In the opposition's arsenal can hnvo no serious elTict. Tho ballot for United States senator to morrow will Dt tho eleventh In number, of which ten will have been taken In Joint ses sion. Upward of a dozen inemberH have paired their votes for tomorrow, others will be unable to attend because of slckncBs und other reasons. It Is expected, howover, that by Wednesday morning nil members, with tho exception of Senator llaldrlgo of liouglss, will bo bark at their desks nnd rendy for nny work from the consideration of bills to the election of I'nlted Stntoi nenntors.

The father reported to tho police that his son had n smnll sum of money with him when ho left his home Saturday ovenlng.
