An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington last evening says Senator
elect Higgins to-day telegraphed Senator
Edmunds. chairman Of the judiciary com
mittee. respecting the credentials Of his
election as United States Senator, which
were referred TO the Judiciary committee
when presented on motion of Mr.. Ed
munds, who called attention to the fact
that they were not n,aae out According
to law Several reasons were advanced
for their informality, one being that the
officers Of the Delaware Legislature had
sighted the Governor and Secretary OF
State by sending their certificate Of cleo
tion. Mr. Higgins explained TO Senator
Edmunds that the credentials were made
out in accordance with an old statute Of
Delaware passed many yenrs before the
act Of Congress Of 1865 regulated the
subject, ana that the Legislative officials
believed they were acting Sitrictly in ac
cordance with law.
