THE NEXT HOUSE.
Its Political Status Analysed.

THE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE MAJORITY OF
FIFTEEN VOTES, BUT THE REPUBLICANS WILL
HAVE A MAJORITY OF STATES.
Assigning the several labor candidates elected
to the next Congress to the party which their
declared predictions favor, the House of the
Fiftieth Congress will stand ITO democrats to
155 republicans. This calculation comedies to
the republicans two members from Rhode
Island, as they will no doubt fill the vacancy
now existing In that delegation.
SHOULD THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 60 TO
THE HOUSE.
In voting by delegations should the presi-
dental election be thrown into the House, the
republicans will have twenty states-the requi-
site number to elect under the Constitution--to
seventeen for the democrats. One state New
Hampshire) will have no vote, her delegation
being equally divided politically.
The state delegations having a republican
majority are: California, Colorado, Kansas,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Michigan, Nebraska.
Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont. Pennsyiva-
mia, Oregon, Maine, Nevada and Wisconsin-2O
Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Geor-
gia, Missouri. Louisiana, Maryland Mississippi
Texas, West Virginia, Tennessee, South Caro-
lima, lima North Carolina Kentucky, Minnesota
In Colorado the democrats claim that their
candidate was counted out, and they may
count him In by q vote OF the House. That
would make the delegation stand 10 for the re.
publicans to 10 for the democrats but, with
presidency at stake, the republicans would
fight desperately to retain their 20 votes
THE GAINS AND LOSSES BIZ STATES
At the recent election the republicans gained
over the democrats districts In Illinois, 8 In
Indiana, / in Iowa, 2 in Michigan, IN Ohio, .
in Kentucky. IN New Jersey, 2 in New York.
In North Carolina and 4 In virginia--26 in
all; but they lost district in each OF the states
Of California, Connecticut, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, south Carltna and TennesnaA, 5 In
cxNfR tn IN M0CS nh, coffc In a lie
leaving q net gain for the republicans OF Is
districts. The only states which return their
delegations Of the present Congress unchNnged
TO the next are: Arkansas, Florida, Maryland,
Maine, Vermont, Oregon, Nevada and Colorado.
The last three states have but Representative

THEY BEAT THE REPUBLICANS ONE POINT IN
THE MATTER OF FILING CONTESTS.
In connection with the contests for control of
the Indiana legislature, it has been suggested
that as the republicans will have q majority in
the lower house. they might unseat democrats
enough to give them q majority on joint ballot.
This suggestion was met with the counter prop
ositi0n that the democrats, who have the state
senate, could resort to similar tactics. In such
o struggle, however. IT. was manifest that the
advantage wouid rest with the republicans, as
they control the more numerous branch Of the
legislature.
Speaking OF this phase Of the question an
Indiana democrat said to q STAR reporter to
day: aIf the republicans caluiated upon taking
advantage OF the fact that they could throw
ont more members OF the legislature than the
democrats they have omitted q very important
part of their contemplated procedure. The
law requires that in order to contest the seat Of
u member Of the legislature In Indiana ten

A NEW SYSTEM TO BE TRIED BY SEcRErAR
WHITNEY.

The appointment OF paymaSter general of
the navy yesterday was the Inauguration Of
the formerly expressed intention OF Secretary
Whitney to consolidate if practicable some Of
the duties of the different bureaus of the Navy
department, If not the bureaus themselves
The first step in this direction, he announced
some time ago, would be to do away with the
extensive and conflicting system of making
purchases of supplies and providing for the
storage and safekeeping of the same. Hereto
fore the different bureaus have had representa-
tives at each yard and station to do the work
that the Secretary considers should be simpii-
fed and concentrated. He has signed an order
placing all such matters iu charge of the bureau
OF provisions and clothing, the head OF which is
the paymaster general OF the navy, who was
appointed yesterday: The order was not issued
at once, but was held back temporarily, pend
ing decision as to the additional room and
force OF clerks that will be required under the
new arrangement. A special board of naval
officers las been at work for several months
making an inventory OF the supplies of the
various naval stations and yards, with a view
ofdetermining the advisability and practical
bility of making the proposed change of the
purchase system at this time. 1t was upon the
report Of this board that the Secretary decided
to give an immediate trial of the new system.

The first announcement of ex-Presidents

None of the clerical force had reported for duty,
and the ringing of the telephone was answered
by Sergeant Dinsmorc. He conveyed the in
formation to the President, who was much
shocked at the intelligence. The flag on the
White House was at once placed at half-mast.
subsequently a telegram was received from
Mr.. James G. Reed, the confidential secretary
OF MIR. Arthur in New York, stating that ex-
President Arthur died at 5 o'clock this morn
Ing. The news spread rapidly at the depart
ments and the flags on all the public buildings

men on their way to their daily work noticed
the emblem OF mourning and many of them at
once guessed the truth, on account OF the re-
ports OF Gen. Arthur's condition of health re-
ceived here from time to time.
