Washington, Jan. 20 QspeciaD.-At late hour to-
night the electoral vote Of every State with the ex-
ception OF Florida had been received and placed
the little iron safe especially purchased for the pur-
pose and now being guarded day and night by a
Waterman in the Vice Presidents room at tho Capt.
toll. The vote of Kentucky and Texas arrived this
morning. Tho messenger from the latter State was
nearly exhausted by travel II his second trip
from Austin here When he arrived for the first
time he carried with him the electoral vote enclosed
IN an envelope which did not contain It's cover,
provided by law, the names Of the electors. While
It is still disputed question whether the Governor
Of the State of Texas has a right TO reconvene the
electors after they had discharged their eonstltu-
tonal duty in casting their VOTE It is safe say that
this point viii not be raised this time.
new question, however, has presented itself, and
though minor It Is Of interest to at least one
person, and that is the messenger himself Who viii
pay for his additional duty? The United States win
pay the mileage bill for one round trip, but Il win
not be responsible for the second one because the
error was due to the Electoral Board Of HIS State
Other irregularities have been discovered, among
them ono which showed the messengers from three
States-Colorado, Kansas and Alabama-to be without
the proper credentials as messengers. They viii not
be paid until after the official count of the vote on
the second Wednesday IN February. Instead Of
carrying a separate certificate Identifying them as
messengers ther cfedenuals were enclosed IN The
same envelope containing the vote Of the electors
In the case Of f. c. Meridith from Alabama, Mr.
ingalls, received certificate from him, but declined
TO give receipt for II because he did not have a
certificate Of his appointment as messenger in his
possession Mr. Meridth thereupon sent telegram
TO Governor Seay and the electors were summoned
to Montgomery on Saturday morning. They made
and signed additional certificate that Mr. Meridltb
had been chosen messenger. He started for Wash

yet arrived

Washington. Jan. 2s.-The Senate spent tbs entire
day practically upon a discussion of the question
whether the present ENJOYS Extraordinary and Min
listers Penip0tcnary TO the Court Of 81. James, Ger
many and Russia and to the French Republic should
be raised TO the rank of Ambassadors or not, ana
after devotlng five hours to the discussion II was
not even then able to reach decision. IL gave
fine opportunity however, for a display OF cheap
demag05sm.
The amendment 10 the Diplomatic and Consular
Appropriation bil which would have raised the
rank OF the four Ministers 10 Ambassadors was
offered by Mr. Gibson Of Louisiana who, IN sensI
ble straightforward manner. presented tie reasons
why such change was desirable and tho advantages
that were likely to accrue from IT,
Tho opposition was led by Mr.. Plumb Of Kansas.
He delivered speech which might have electrified
a crossroads meeting and impressed listeners with
tho heroic simplicity and sturdy repnbllcanism oil
the speaker but In assembly OF thoughtful men llhe
the senate II fell Cat and only excited laughter Mr.
Plumb himself was hardly IN earnest when he as
serted that Ministers were OF no use TO The
country anyway that they paid big salary for
the simple purpose OF having opportunity OF eating
good dinners, moving in society and dancing attend
ance upon court circles and that tho business they
attempted TO do could better be dispatched by CON
gular agents. In fact the Kansas Senator asserted,
that the extension of our commerce was the only
agent IN our dealings with foreign nations.
