MR.. THURMAN
MAY POSSIBLY HOLD THE CASTING
VOTE IN THE NEXT SENATE.
The Political Horoscope Turned Upon
the Next United states senats-Proha-
bilities ~ to which Party Will Con-
troll It.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August Gin ac-
cordance with the usual custom the Senate
will be convened in special session early
next March, Immediately following the
expiration Of the present Congress. No
matter how the Presidential election may
result this special session will be necessary.
Should President Cleveland be elected his
cabinet must be reappointed, and should
General Harrison wins, the Senate will be
called together to assist him in organizing
his administration.
II the Republicans elect their Presidential
ticket they will almost certainly control the
Senate. II they lose the Presidential election
they are likely to lose the Senate. At all
events, the next Senate will be nearly
equally divided politically. The terms of
twenty-six Senator'S thirteen Democrats
and thirteen Republicans, will expire on
the third of next March, OF the outgoing
Democrats, eleven are from Southern
States, one from Delaware. a State as reli-
ably Democratic as any in the South, and
one from New Jersey. The latter Is the
in the list that must choose q successor to
q Democrat.
Already the Democrats have gained one
Senator from the Republicans. They have
chosen Mr.. Barbour to succeed Mr.. Riddle
barger from Virginia. Therefore, unless
some unexpected and remarkable political
revolution should occur within the South
between now and November, the Demo
crats are sure to hold their own in the
nsxt Senate. II they retain New Jersey
they will divide the Senate equally with
the Republicans, assuming that the latter
suffer no further losses, and the political
status of the States to choose successors to
outgoing Republicansmske itquite as certain
that they will remain faithful to present
party affiliations as the Southern are to re-
main Democratic. II then New Jersey
elects Democratic legislature the political
control of the next Senate will probably de-
pend upon the casting vote of the Vice
President of the United States,
Of the Democratic Senators whose terms
are now drawing to close, Messrs. Beck.
Kentucky. Gibson, Louisiana, and Wal
thai, Mississippi have been reelected, and
the indications are that Messrs. Berry, Sauls-
bury, Morgan, Colquitt Ransom, Butler.
Harris, Coke and Kenns will be their own
successors

swamp, Passing as q Ghost.

ATLANTA, GA, August 6.-The mystery
of the Dead River Swamp has been cleared
away. For year past the people in that
vicinity have been terrified by the appear
ance, after nightfall, of a wierd object near
the public road in the swamp. Travellers
gave evidence that after night, at q certain
point on the road, a figure, dressed in
white. appeared and moaned piteously as
il crouched beside the road. Excitement
ran 50 high that no one could be induced
to travel the road after night. The negroes,
who lived near by, left their cabins and
deserted their crols.
No one had the courage " investigate
the mystery until last night. Dick Dennis,
Q reckless character, made q wager to some
of bis associates, with whom he had spent
the night few miles from the haunted
spot that he would prove what the ghost
was. He accordingly started little after
midnight on the road. As he approached
the spot where the object usually made its
appearance his horse SHE'D, and crouch
ing figure robed in white knelt in the road
and moaned and cried. In an instant
Dennis shot at the object, and with an oath
sprang beside. With strange wall of
pain the specter fell to the ground, and the
Immediate discovery was made that it was
Q man and that he was dangerously
wounded Later his identity was fully es-
tablished. His name is Swinton. A year
ago he murdered his wife and escaped from
the officers. Leading a hermits life i'm
paired his health and affected his mind,
and he put ON white robe and chose the
swamp for q retreat.

tween the two men ever since. After the
engagement was broken off Brown made
application for an inquest of lunacy on
Britton, claiming he was insane. Britton
was discharged, but this made the feeling
between the two men all the more bitter,
and their friends have feared trouble. as
they were known to go armed. Brown is

WANTS TO SEE HER SON.
Queed Natalie Seeks q Personal Inter-
Wow with King Miian-Queen Victoria

Condition.

Quesd Natalie Seeks q Personal Inter-
Wow with King Milan Queen Victoria
TO Make n Tour-EmperorD Dom Pedro's
Condition.
LONDON, August king Milan and his
son, Crown Prince Alexander of Servia, ar
rrived at Berchtesgadea, q small town 12
miles South of Salzburg. Bavaria yesterday,
for the purpose of taking a course of the
healthful waters which abound there. 1t is
stated that there is reason to rear that Queen
Natalie, who is still at Amsterdam will seek
q personal interview with King Milan, and
as the latter has reiterated his determine
ton not to see the Queen under any cir
cumstances, there is strong likelihood of q
deplorable scene in the event of the Queen
attempting to carry out her reported pro-
gramme. 1t is not believed, however, that
Her Majesty's wish for an interview is
based upon any degree of desire to see her
dissolute husband, but rather to see her
son.
The rumor that Queen Victoria intended
to meet Emperor William at Baden arose
from the fact that the royal yacht, Vic
toris and Albert. has been ordered around
to Glasgow early in September. Hitherto,
the vessel has been used solely for the
Queens foreign trips, and popular supposi-
ton attributed the order to an intention on
the part of Her Majesty. to visit her grand
son, the Kaiser. The fact is, however, that
the yacht is to be used this year for tour,
which the Queen will begin abont the mid
die of September, off the Scotch coast and
the lochs.
Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, had
planned pilgrimage to Laurdes, to give
testimony at that shrine OF his gratitude
for his recovery from his late illness. He
was dissuaded from doing so by his physi-
clans, and embarked at Bordeaux yester-
day for Rio De Janeiro. Considerable anxi.
ETY. is is felt as to the effect of the voyage
upon him should the passage be rough, and
every precaution possible has been taken
against relapse. He is accompanied by
several doctors and large number of at
tendants.
The belief is rapidly growing in conti-
mental political circles that Premier Crispe's
note in regard to Massowah was suggested
by Prince Bismarck. This belief is based
upon the supposition that the Chancellor
saw in the issuance of such a document
means of indirectly reopening the whole
Eastern question with the subsequent pos
sibility OF an amicable settlement Of the en-
tire matter.
