and what senator Davis OF Illinois
VIII Do.


Special 10 Uestera associated Press.
WASHINGTON, January 30.-Senator Nor
rill expresses the opinion that Senator Ed
munds would not go on the Supreme bench
if he had the opportunity, as he declined
the place upon it once before. 1t is believ-
ed, on the other hand, that he will accept
the appointment If rendered him.
1t is stated. with much positiyeness that
President Davis favors the admission of
Dakota into the Union, and will vote for
the bill. He holds, it is said, that the
southern portion OF Dakota is entitled by
reason of population, and other considera-
tons to admission, and that it is not a
question for partisan consideration. Judge
Davis vote, combined with the Republi-
can, would give the bill a majority in the
Senate. and as the Republicans control the
House, it wonld appear the measure has
good prospest OF becoming law the pres
