but the Drake dispatch was speedily confirm

Gre.t exo;tamert fol,owed the confirmation
of the first reports and tho bulletins Of the
news. The flags Of the city were displayed at
half.mast and evidences of the universal grief
wero manifested on every hand. Dispatches of
inquiry also commenced to pour in from all
over the State, and their confirmation was fol.
lowed by expressions of grief. n e.
Tho information contained In first dispatch
60 from Mr.. Drake was conveyed to Mrs.
Chandler by Allan Sheldon, Senator Chandler's
business partner and intinat personal friend.
Mrs. Chandler was alone at home, no other
member of the family being in the city. When
she came to understand the dreadful sipnifi.
canoe of the announcement she was over
whelmed with grief, and has since been COM
pletely FRUSTRATED. W. t*.,-
Ex-Governor Baldwin, Congressman New
berry and others have made arrangements for
the removal of the remains to this city by spe-
cial train tomorrow. A number Of prominent
citizens leave for Chicago by special car this
evening, to act as q committee Of escort.
Arrangements for the funeral obsequies have
not been made as. yet. but the services will
probably be held on Wednesday next.
LANSING, Mich, Nov. 2.-The question Of
suooessor 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
the legislature is not in session. The appoint
ment remains in force until the next session of
the legislature. While the constitution merely
en- of course precl1des any consistent provision
in the constitution OF 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
but anaet has se
of the Compiled Laws, which seem to give
him discretionary power to direct special cleo
tions, and under his power of converting the
Legislature on extraordinary occasions. It is
probable that the Governor will not convene
the legislature, but will make the appoint
ment Immediately. Ex-Gov. John J. Bagley,
of Detroit, will probably be the next Senator
from Michigan. Others are spoken of in con-
nection with the appointment, notably Ex-
Gov: Baldwin and o. D. Conger. Gov. Cress-
well is also spoken of in connection with the
office, but the State constitution Inequalities
any incumbent of his Office from being q can
dldate Tor any posltion In the control OF the
