Mr.. Carpenters Successor

The Washington Republican of yes
terday-a paper edited by Mr. Gorham,
the Republican candidate for Secretary
of the next Senate-has the following
paragraph:
1T is understood that the Legislature OF Wis
consin was notified of Senator Carpenter s
death last night. Under the law OF Congress.
his successor cannot be regular ly elected until
March 6tb. The suggestion has been made
that the Legislature adjourn after indicating
Its preference for Senator, and permit the
Governor to appoint successor Thequestion
might arise, however, as to the legality of such
appointment and the action by the Legisla-
ture."
1t would not be much of question.
The vacancy has already happened 1t
happened during the session of the Leg
islature; and, as the act of Congress pro-
vides that a vacancy thus happening
shall be filled in certain way, and at a
certain time, il will be simply impossible
for the Legislature 10 shirk its duty. 1t
must proceed, as the law provides, to
elect Mr.. Carpenters successor on the
second Tuesday after receiving notice of
his death. That second Tuesday will
be the 9Th day of March.
If the Legislature had adjourned but
OHC nlnutC UClOLC MI Ndl pCutCi uCdtH
occurred, the Governor of Wisconsin
would have had the right to appoint a
temporary successor. But this right he
cannot now acquire in any way. The
law is imperative that a vacancy happen
ing during the session of a Legislature
shall be filed by the Legislature.
But that is not all. If the Legislature
of Wisconsin were to adjourn without
performing its duty in this matter, the
Governor would still fail to have ac-
quired the right to appoint Mr.. Carpen-
ter's successor. The only power the
Governor of State has for appointing a
United States Senator is derived from
the following clause of the Federal Con-
stitution:
III CGc0ncies happen lin the United States
Senatel by resignation or otherwise, during
the recess Of the Legislature Of any State, the
Executive thereof may make temporary ap-
pointments until the next meeting Of the Leg
islature, which shall then fll such vacancies. !"
The vacancy did not happen during
'the recess of the Legislature" but du-
ring its session. and, therefore, the
language of the Federal Constitution it
self precludes the idea that the Governor
can fill it. He can fill no vacancy except
such as occur during the recess of the
Legislature.

TERRIFIC STORMS.
Miles of Prairie LANDS Submerged
The Railroad BIOckaaes Renewed
In the Northwest.

MILWAUKEE,, February % The rain of
Saturday changed to heavy wind and snow
storm and the running Of railroad trains on
all lines centering in Milwaukee has been
suspended. The present snow blockade is
the heaviest OF the entire season.
Water, snow and freezing combined
makes it certain that there win be
great difficulty In clearing the railroads.
CHICAGO, February 28-At nine O'Clock
twenty three mails were due at the post
office and but two had arrived. The storm
on the lake yesterday, according to an old
lake Captain, was the most severe one ex-
perienced for years. Gentlemen who ar
rived here from Clinton, Iowa, said the
train passed through some sections of the
prairie where little farm houses were al
most half submerged by water, and that
miles of the railway tracks were covered.
The storm of wind and snow which began
yesterday afternoon still continues. As far
as can be ascertained, through telegraphic
reports, which are badly interrupted,
It has been the severest storm OF
the season in Wisconsin, Illinois aud Michi-
gan. Minnesota and Western Iowa have
been only slightly visited by It. Trains on
all railroads centering here are delayed, and
freight trains are not attempting to move.
The telegraph wires are coated with ice,
and few poles iu the city have gone down
under the strain of the additional weight
and the strong wind.

SEDUCTION AND HOMICIDE Char
lotte, N. c., considerable excitement has
been occasioned by a homicide growing
out of seduction. Tuesday John Far
rington shot and instantly killed Fred
Harper, of Atlanta, on the sidewalk in
the eastern part of the city. Harper in
fallirg shot Harrington in the cheek, the
ball passing out on the other side. The
latter is not dangerously wounded.
Four or five shots were fired, Harper
shooting even after he received his death
wound and had fallen to the ground.
Both young men are respectfully con-
nected, Harper had been attending Far
rington's sister, young girl nearly
eighteen years of age, for nearlya year.
A week ago she became mother, and
has been too i'll to declare the paternity
of her child until last Sunday. She is
il now lying in very critical condition,
and it is very greatly feared that she
will not recover. The news of the
tragedy has not yet been told her, as it
is believed she could not survive it,
