Interference OF Federal Office Hold
ers In Elections.

SFB IN EAeCnOnSs
Special to the Louisville Courier-Jourral
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The important
announcement is made by the Presidents
organs that the common practice Of Federal
officers filing State offices ard interfering
officially in State elections is to be abated
by Executive order. to be issued about the
4th Of March next, giving notice that the
acceptance of candidacy for State Office,
or the holding Of such Office, especially a
! position In the Legislature Of 4 State, will
| be deemed by him cause for removal
| from Federal Office. The Washington
! Chronicle confesses that many Of the COM
! plications and much of the trouble in some
Of the Southern States have been caused by
| such improper action on the part Of Federal
officers, and which, il says, was contrary to
! the wishes of the President. It is not
Stated whether the postpouemeGt Of sixty
days Of the order necessary to cure An ad-
mitted evil grows out Of q deficient supply
ofpen, ink and paper at the White House,
/ or from some other cause.
The Massachusetts Senatorial Con-
test.
A prominent Republican, who has Just
| visited Massachusetts,, says that Dawes and
! Boutwell, are the TWO foremost candidates
| for the coming vacancy in the United S ates
Senate; but though the for
mer is supported by the
| two leading Boston Republican daiiies, the
| chances CT Boutwell, are deemed much the
| best. Boutwell, is supported by the Gus
| tom-hCuss Influence, The L. S. Marshal and
| deputies, the Federal officers generally, the
! State police, and the prohibition party, and
! will probably have the good will of the Ia
! Dor refOrm5rs. In addition to those ele-
ments If strength, the class looking 10 Fed
eral Offices would naturally 90 for Bout
well, on the theory that Dawes is not in
favor Ct the White House. The friends of
both are keenly watching the Credit MObil-
! ier developments; but 50 ftr IL Is said that
the people Of Massachusetts are net willing
| to credit anything to the disparagement of
either Of the two aspirantS. Ben. Butler
has made himself conspicuous by active
partisanship for Boutwell,, but it is thought
by many that any alliance between the two
would be fatal TO both. There are some
who assert that Boutwell, and Dawes are so
equally matched in strength that both will
be laid aside aud Judge Hoar, formerly At
toTney General, substituted.
Arkansas.
TIE Administration expects that the Ar
kansas troubles will result III two Govern
ernors and two Legislatures, and that the
President will be called upon TO decide be-
tween them. The act of 1895, as expound-
ed by the Supreme Court Ia the Dorr case,
is considered to give the President power to
decide which is the rightful State govern
meut, upon an application for military aid.
The Attorney General is stated, on high
authority, 10 have declared that all the legal
votes should be counted, and there are other
reasons to believe the Administration re-
CARDS the Liberal party in Arkansas as hay
Ing az honest majority Of the votes cast,
and entitled to the State officers.

but this difference has been one merely of

The Marine Force Of Spain.

Apropos of Spain, the report of
Captain James Forney, of the Marine
Corps, whom Secretary Robson sent
over to Europe to inspect the relative
strength and efficiency of the ship
board soldiery of the leading nations,
shows that Spain has 10000 marines,
and the marine corps is the highest
branch of her service, the officers be-
ing uniformly selected from the no =
biiity, and the corps trained in Col
leges at Cadiz and Madrid. This
large Marine force is less efficient at
present than before the revolution,
the officers having become trading
politicians; it is the second marine
force, however, in the world, Great
Britain having $4,000 and the United
States only 5000 The Spanish
marines are divided between the in
fantry and artillery service. Thus
Spain is twice as strong in ships as
we, and has more than three to one
of ship military. Captain Forney
visited the Cadiz Barracks only a
few months ago. General Sherman
reports that our army, like our navy,
is down to twenty-five regiments and
companies of ffty-nine men maxi
mum, making less than $4,000 troops
in the regular army.
