5ohn j. ingalls, on the Late Senator
PIumb's Successor.


ATcH1soN, Kan, Dec. "a In a con-
versation on the death of Senator Plumb,
ex-senator Ingalls, said;
Thumbs place oann OF be filed The
State is not wanting in men of genius,
capacity and learning w no can add lustrs
to its fame, but the knowledge and skill,
the familiarity with methods of iegisla-
tion obtainable with long practice and
experience, the acquaintance with pub.
lie men so essential to success-these
are not endowments but acquisitions.
1.-THE Senator who succeeds Plumb
must begin where he began fourteen
years ago, leaving the State meanwhile
without prestige or station till they
have been earned again.
''The Governor must fill the vacancy
by appointment till the next meeting of
the Legislature elected in 1892, which
will choose a successor for the fraction
of the term from 1893 to 80. This pre-
cipitates a political convulsion in the
State Of long duration and whose result
cannot be told.
''The campaign for the Legislature
will begin at once. The Peoples Party
will endeay ayor to secure another repre-
sentative in the Senate, and they may
have the assistance Of the Democrats
again as they had year ago in their
efforts to reduce the Republi can majority
in that body. The Republicans have
the advantage OF the tendency of a
Presidential election, which will tend
to allay discord and bring the old and
young crowds together" "

WASHINGTON, Dec "a The talk Of
possible trouble with Chilli, although
wholly unofficial and unautho orized, has
at no time been 30 general as it is to- day
among officers of the army and navy.
More over, this gossip is given color by
no little external evidence. 1t is known
for example, that the State Department.
is quite well informed as to the probable
answer of Chill, based upon the finding
of the judicial inquiry into the Balti-
more outrage, and that this reply will
not be satisfactory.
Then there are some significant facts
The War Department. is forwarding re-
cruits, in squads of forty or fifty, as
rapidly as possible, to fill the compile
ment of regiments in the far West and
on the Pacific coast General Schofield
has said that 10000 men were available
to send out of the country, but that no
more could be spared from the regular
army.
Gun carriages are being shipped to
San Francisco in sections, and the guns
will follow at an early date. Three 10
inch guns Will probably be shipped
early in January. The first 12-inch
rf file has just been tested at the Indian
Head proving grounds with satisfactory
results.
The whole force at the Washington
Navy Yard is at work turning out pro-
jectiles and the men are kept at work
night and day. The Navy DepRr ment
has Just ordered twelve Blaokmau' 8
range finders, although they have never
yet been Off cially approved by any Off
cial board, prodeeding very unusual.
The harbor of San Francisco is being
buoyed so that the range of every war
vessel will be accurately known as the
result of experiments in firing.
General Schofield h as been twice sum
moned before the Cabinet, and has
given it as his opinion that If 10, 900
men are sent out of the country it will
! be quite possible to fill their places in
the regular army at home by temporary
| enlistments from the militia, certain
| quota Of regulars, equipped for actual
service at the army posts, to be called
| for from each State. In case the 10, 000
men transported to Chilli should not be
enough, it is reported that the Rresi-
dent may call for 20, 600 volunteers for a
| year.
| Add to all these facts and rumors the
| general understanding that the Presi-
| dent will in sist upon immediate and
full reparation by Chill, and that seve-
raj of Spreckels' steamers in the Aus
tralian and Hawaiian trade have been
conditionally chartered, the war talk SO
current here to-day seems to have som'
apparent foundation.
