NIrsterious Disannearance.

NoRwALK, Mar 13.-Mrs William Howard, aged 35 years, disappeared very mysteriously from her home on Ellwood place last night, and it is feared she has committed suicide by throwing herself into the river which runs in the rear of the house and which, on account of the heavy rains, is much swollen. Mrs Howard has been married fourteen years and lived until last De cember on Chestnut street. On the eleventh of December she lost six year old boy by black diphtheria. She grieved constantly over his death and has acted strangely ever since.

EDITORS NEED NOT APPLY.

ay Win Not be Generally Recognized by
 the New Administration.
 WASHINGTON, March 13.-The assertion that editors are not generally to be recog nized by the new administration is true. Mir Cleveland believes that his predecessor suffered through the charge of having sub sidized the press and he does not propose to run the same gauntlet.
 This decision is to be made particularly applicable to newspaper men who desire to be postmasters in their towns.
 Mir. Bissell has had the names of some country editors presented to him in connec- tion with various postotfices, but has uni formly declined to give any encouragement to the office seeker. He lays down the the principle that ill small towns all the ut terances of the newspaper over which he is the master editor will be regarded as the views of the administration, while, on the ther hand, "N praise of Mr. Clevelands s lcts will be discounted because it emanates rom tho recipient of official favor
 Therefore MT. Bissell does not propose to ippoint any editors to postmasterships, and the President will observe the same rule in disposing of the higher offices.

 WASHINGTON, March 13.-The session oi the Senate to-day was brief and was con- fined mainly to the reception of nomina- tions from the President. Within a day o1 two the committees will be appointed, and the body will be in thorough working order so far as the business for which it is called together is concerned.
 Reports of committees upon the nomina- tions will begin to come in immediately, and the Senate will be occupied with them until the end of the special session.
 Aside from this business is the consider ation of the legal questions involved in the appointment of three Senators by the Gov ernors of Montana, Wyoming and Wash ington.
 The members of the Committee on Priv ileges and Elections have already been de- voting their attention to the study of pre- cedents and the law affecting such appoint ments, and will doubtless be ready to make reports soon after the credentials are taken up.
 It happcns that the decision of the ques ton involved in these cases can be made without affecting the political complexion of the Senate. and it is the intention of both sides of the Chamber to endeavor tC consider the cases purely on their merits and without respect to political considera- tionS, and thus establish a precedent that will be likely to stand hereafter.

South Dakota Farmers Taking Advantage
 of the Early Spring.
 YANKToN, s. D., March 13.-The farmers of this portion of the great corn belt of South Dakota have begun seeding and planting, actuated by the sunshine and the balminess of the weather of the past 3C days. In this section snow has entirely disappeared, frost is out of the ground, and spring has set in and the earth is in perfect condition for receiving seed and insuring early sprouting.
 The acreage in this section will be al most thrice that of last year. because thousands of acres of heretofore untitled land owned by the State or held by specu lators have passed into the hands of men who will cultivate it.
 Hundreds of new settlers are coming intl the country from other States.
