LANSING, Mich, Nov. 2.-The question of a
successor to Chandler naturally occurs. The
second paragraph of the third article Of the
constitution of the United States leaves with
the governor the power of appointing United
States Senators if vacancy takes place while
tho legislature is not in session. The appoint
ment remains in force until the next session of
the legislature. While the constitution merely
says that he may appoint, the power thus Civ
en- of course precludes any consistent provision
in the constitution or laws of the state, and
cannot be taken away from him, even though
he should not choose to exercise it. There is
therefore, no express provision for calling an
extra session of the legislature to fill such va
cancy, but the Governor probably has the pow
err to do under sub division Of section 80
Of the Compiled Laws, which seem to give
him discretionary power to direct special cleo
tions, and under mis- power of converting the
legislature extraordinary occasions. It is
probable that the Governor will not convene
the legislature, but will make the appoint
mcnt Immediately. ExGov. John J. Basley,
of Detroit, will probably be the next Senator
from Michigan. Others are spoken Of in con-
ncction with the appointment, notably Ex-
Gov. Baldwin and 0. D. Conger. Gov. Cress-
we'll is also spoken of in connection with the
office, but the State constitution disquali6es
any incumbent of his Office from being can
didate for any position in the control of the
Legislature during his term Of office.

CHICAGO Nov. 2.-The last sad offices for de-
ceased Senator Chandler were performed at an

lures. Immediately thereafter the guard. con-
sisting ola detail of the First regiment, formed
two before and fourteen after the caskct, which
was borne out of the hotel. John +. Mead
Gen. r. Davis, Jesse Spaulding, VIM. Aldrich,
Hiram Barber, Gen. Martin, Bernard S. Coll
yer, officiated as pall-bearers. As the process
sion wound through tho spacious corridors,
some two hundred veterans formed in twos be-
mind, and with muff1ed drums beating, the cof-
fin was deposited in tho hearse. Three compa-
MES of the First regiment and q detail of ca
diets, under Col. Swain, and part of the Sec
ond battalion under Col. Thompson, were
drawn up in line on other side the entrance on
jackson street. The procession then formed
in the following order:
Drum corps with mufied drums, beating the
long roll.

Carriages containing members of committee
appointed yesterday to escort the
body to the depot.
Union Veteran club.

The limo was over two blocks long marching
in close order and in tours. But for the unto
ward weather and the early hour it would un.
dioubtedly have been very much longer. The
day was raw and chilly, and about two inches
of snow had fallen, making the streets wet and
slippery. The bands played ''The dead march
In Sanl,' and funeral strains and dirges. Con-
spicuous among the mournful procession were
Gov. Cullom, Gov. Oglesby, Emery Storrs and
Robert T.. Lincoln. The line of marcia was
east on Jackson to Clark, north on Clark to
avenue and north to Lake street and thence
east to the depot.
Arrived at the depot the military orgauiza-
tons dcployed, allowing the casket to be borne
through their ranks. The Detroit delegation,
headel by ex-Gov. Bagley, had arrived at the
depot some time before and breakfasted in the
vicinity. They received the procession, and to-
gethcr with the escort from this city, accom-
PANEL to the baggage Car of the special train
tho rcmIins, which were carefully deposited
therein. The two committees then distributed
themselves thr ough the three coaches making
up the train, " hich at 9:20 pulled out of the
dept.
