The Death of senator Kenna,
Washington Post.

FAotteftstAte
The seat in the United States Senate
made vacant by the death OF John +.
Kenna, of West Virginia, will no doubt
be worthily filed, but never by one OF
nobler qualities or more lovable char
acter than his. His friendships were
limited only by the number OF those
who knew him; his kindliness OF heart
was measured only by the bounds OF
human sympathy; his sense OF honor
was cast in a chivalric mold, and his
walk and conversation were those OF
an honorable and high-minded gentle
man.
Not only, however, were Mr.. Henna's
personal attributes peculiarly attract
i've. but he possessed abilities OF high
order. He was a man of clear intellec-
tual perceptions, of high attachments.
and honest, patriotic purpose, well
versed in public questions, and capable
of supporting his positions with cogent
and impressive argument, If not with
briliancy of rhetoric.
Though one of the youngest OF Sena-
tors, he enjoyed the confidence and re-
spect of all, and on both sides OF the
chamber his loss will be profoundly felt
and sincerely lamented.

There is little clique Of malicious
persons who, backed by newspaper,
are interested in decrying the Univers-
ity, under its present management, re-
garding which they have long been cir
culating false stories intended TO injure
it. Gov. FLEMING's special notice in
his message of its exceptional pros
perity, gives the lie direct in the teeth
of these malicious and undetermined
schemers.
The Governor pays a deserved tribute
to the excellent management of the
University in noting It's continued pros
perity and increasing usefulness, which
will strengthen its already strong hold
uuon public favor The Board Of Re-
gents cannot be complimented too high
", in fact, upon their indefatigable and
successful efforts to promote the well
fare and efficiency Of this most import
ant institution, and it is highly gratify-
ing TO note that last year was tha most
prosperous in its history.
To such a degree Of perfection has
the University attained, ir' fact, under
its present management that we no
longer need send our youth to Harvard
or Yale to acquire . first class college
training. We can get it right here at
home in our own State, at our own Uni
versity.

PROMISES TO BE INTERESTING.

Representative Stout Asks an -Investiga-
ton of Alleged CrOokedness In the I'm
terror observation-disclosures Interested.
EpezfGE Telegram 10 the REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January l3.-Michi-
gan came 10 the front in the House to-day
prolific OF promise of news. Representa-
tive Stout offered a resolution, which was
adopted, calling upon the Secretary OF the
Interior for full explanation as TO the re-
cent opening to settlement Of the land oor-
dering upon Utah and Arizona, said 70 be
rich with gold. There has been rush OF
people to the alleged new gold fields, and
Representative Stout asserts that the land
has been taken by syndicate headed oy
Secretary Elkins, OF the War Department.
Mr. Stout says his request to see the order
opening the land TO settlement was refused
by the Secretary of the Interior. He also
SAYS that the Secretary had no legal author
ity to open the land to settlement. Demo-
cratic members Of the House who have
been informed of Mr.. Stout's experience at
the Interior Department are Indignant at
what seems to have been bonanza thrown
to Elkins and an investigation is almost
certain.
Representative Burrows slipped into the
petition box a voluminous resolution call
ing for an investigation of the whisky trust.
He assumes to believe that he is making a
big political move. He says that an inves-
tigation will show that some of the most
prominent Democrats of the country are
deeply interested in the trust, and among
his expected victims he names the biggest
and most popular Democrat in private life
in New York City Burrows petition,
which embodies several newspaper articles,
goes to the Committee on Rules, and that
committee will not assist Mr.. Burrows in
falsely smirching leading Democrats.

Cold weather Ventilation.

The way that cold weather promotes
the spread OF typhus fever, and, doubt
less. OF less dread maladieS, Is by inclln-
log people TO live with windows and
other means Of ventilation too tightly
closed.
In trying to keep in the heat (made
so priceless by the Reading Coal Trust
extortions) don't shut ont fresh air.
More people die, indirectly, of coal
gas escaping from stoves, and of vitiat-
ed. over-breathed air from furnaces than
from pneumonia by reason OF low
breathing temperature. In fact, 1t is
doubtful whether pure cold air ever
gave healthful lungs pneumonia, while
weak or sluggish lungs need pure air
more than anything else.
Eat, dress and pile on fuel according
to the requirements of this period Of
arctic weather, but don't, as you care to
live, shut off all the supply OF fresh air.

GRAVE RUMoRs AFLoAT.
Carnot Charged with Pushing Other Pros
ecutions to save Himself.


PARIS, January 13.-To-day the gravest
rumors are afioat in regard to President
Carnot. Several of the Deputies who have
been most earnest in pushing the Panama
investigation make no secret OF declaring
that they will not rest until Carnot is
forced to resign.
The strength of the case against the
President depends upon the credibility OF
Baihut, the ex-Minister OF Public Works,
and CARROTS friends claim that no faltn
whatever should be attached TO Baihuts
disclosures; that he is malignant against
Carnot for not having protected him from
prosecution and that he wishes 10 drag
the President down with him. On the
other hand, it is pointed out by the en-
emies of NJ. Carnot that Baihut's charges
egree with the facts as known, and that
Charles de Lesseps would probably cor
roborate Baihut if he were permitted 10 re-
veal all that he could reveal.
These enemies of Carnot argue that the
trial Of the two de Lesseps has been has
tened in order to bring them within the
grasp of NJ. Carnot and keep them silent as
10 anv connection OF the head Of the State
with Panama affairs. Meantime President
Carnot preserves serene temper ana
seems Indifferent to the assaults heaped
upon him.
NJ. Constans is credited by nearly every
one with being at the bottom OF the attack
upon Carnot He is known 10 have bitter
feeling toward the President on account OF
his election from the Cabinet.

TWO THOUSAND CHINESE BURNED.
An Awful Catastrophe Fifty Miles From
Canton-A Band of Robbers Attack and
Burn n Temporary Theatre.


New YORK, January l3.-A local paper
has the following from San Francisco:
A Canton correspondent sends THIS ac-
count of terrible disaster in country
town about fifty miles from Canton which
occurred early last month and resulted In
the loss OF nearly two thousand lives. A
band of robbers mode a raid on the village
OF Kan Ii, in the Shin Sing district;
They first levied tribute of several
thousand taets on the priests of the temple.
The latter had just received large offerings
from the people who were celebrating
holiday with a dramatic entertainment
under a big shed temporary erected ID
front OF the temple. The angry robbers
applied the torches TO this shed and the peo-
pie in the place rushed in the temple for
refuge.
The main entrance Of the temple caught
fire from the fierce heat Of the burning
shed and over fourteen hundred men, wom-
en- and children were either burned, smoth-
cred or trampled under foot. Most Of the
| fatalities resulted from suffocation, as
strong wind drove the smoke into the tem'
pie. - ..;..
ing numbered l,940, and it may be that
| some of these were burned beyond recognl-
| tion. The disaster is the worst that has
| occurred in South China for several years.
