Cases OF Appointed Senntors to BE
Discussed-Majority and Minority

Lee Mantle, OF Montana,
WASHINGTON. March 27.-The indica-
tions are that this week the senate will
undertake the discussion and perhaps
the decision of one of the most impor-
tant constitutional questions that has
has arisen in that body in late years,
namely, the right of a governor of astate
to ili vacancy in the United States
senate which occurred while the legisla-
ture was in session. The report of two
factions of the committee will be pre-
sented at once and, as the disposition is,
when once these cases are before the
senate, to push them to con-
clusion as rapidly as is consistent
with the proper expression of
the views OF all senators who
have examined the questions involved.
and desire to make their sentiments
known, it is probable that, instead of
taking three days recess, the senate
will sit almost daily. The unknown
quantity in the calculation of the weeks
work is the disposition of the leaders on
either side touching the matter of reor-
ganization. 1t is expected that the
Democrats, through Mr.. German, will
present the caucus nominations for SEN
atorial Offices early in the week, proba-
bly, in executive session, and, if seri-
Gus controversy threatens to follow, the
matter may be brought before the pub
lie through proceedings in open session.

Noted Editor of the New York Mail
and Express Dies Suddenly.
NEW York, March 25.-Colonel FL
lott Fitch Sheppard, editor of The Mail
and Express, died suddenly during the
afternoon at his home, West Fifty
second street. His death followed the
administration of ether by DR.. Charles
McBurner and DIR. Mclean, the family
physician. A month ago Mr.. Sheppard
noticed symptoms that led him to be-
heve that he was suffering from stone
in the bladder. He let it go and did not
consult a physician until week ago,
when he sent to DR.. McLane and told
him of his suspicion. The doctor urged
him to submit to an examination and
undergo an operation if necessary. The
colonel was undecided at first but finally
agreed and Friday was fixed on as the
day. About 8 o'clock, just before the
arrival of the doctor, he
Complained of Severe Pains
and said that he thought he would go
to bed. The distress he suffered left
him soon after and when the physicians
and nurses came in he was in good
spirits. He had induced his wife and
youngest daughters, Marguerite and
Alice, to go out for the day. His son,
Elliott f. Shepard, Jr., was with him.
About o'clock Colonel Shepard said
that he was ready for the surgeons and
they, with the nurses, began the work
of putting him under the influence of
ether. He had inhaled the drug but
two or three times when the physicians
Detected Dangerous Symptoms
and stopped the Inhalation. Colonel
Shepard sank rapidly and for time it
was feared that he could not be rallied.
Powerful restoratiyes were admins
tered. At the end of an hours work
with oxygen he was restored to partial
consciousness and he continued appar-
emily to rally until about 4 o'clock.
Then, without warning, and for no ap-
parent reason, he began rapidly to sink.
The oxygen treatment was resumed,
but it was Of no avail and at 4:20 he
died. He was unconscious and his death
was peaceful. The cause of death given
by the physicians was odema of the
lungs.

Position Of the Majority.
The majority state that they began
their inquiry with the primal and con-
trolling mandate of the constitution
resting upon them, that the senate
should be kept full and the separate
representation herein OF each state was
the most important and Interchangeable
single obligation which the instrument
creates, The constitution provided that
no state should ever be deprived of its
equal vote in the senate except by it's
own consent to change in the consti-
tuition itself, and this consideration was
held to be of infinitely more Importance
than the question whether the appoint
ment should be made by the legislature
or the executive.

usual exaggeration in the first reports,
but the money loss win be greater than
first estimated The first stories re-
garding Mountain Iron and Biwabik
were untrue. AT Biwabik only few

reported. The entire business portion
of the town is destroyed. About 10
houses are standing and $40 were
burned. Merritt is

only 16 buildings now remaining in the
town. 1t is impossible to reach Merritt
as the woods are still burning about the
village. It was the only town the
newspaper men were not able to visit
and see the exact situation for them
selves. The condition of the sufferers
at Virginia is particularly unfortunate.
Most of them are without shelter,
clothing is scarce and food, despite the
supplies that have been sent from
Duluth, is still scanty. Everything
possible is being done for them and
railroads reaching the range are carry
ing all supplies and provisions free. On
the whole range about $500 people are
for the time being dependent on
charity. In large measure the women
and children have been brought to
Duluth.
Work Of Relief.
AT citizens meeting general relief
committee was appointed and it was
decided not to appeal for outside aid.
Between $500 and %, 900 has been sub
scribed for the work of relief and cloth
ing and provisions are coming in on
every hand. Trouble is feared at Vir-
ginia from the character OF the popu-
lace. As in all mining towns the men
are, many of them, hard characters,
and lawlessness is anticipated. Police
Sergeant Smollett and squad OF OH
GERS have been sworn in as deputy sher-
iffs and sent to Virginia. The total
loss. as estimated by those best quail
fed to know. is put at $780, 600. The
insurance is about $4,000. Fires are
burning all along the range still and q
change OF wind will cause more dam
age.
