Evans who are somewhat dissatisfied at

Evans is near the foot of the lst of cap

What Representative Tucker Says of
His Resolution.

Representative TucEer of Virginia, the
author and champion of the resolution for
a constitutional amendment TO elect United
States Senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie, which passed the House on Saturday,
Is sanguine that the Senate will also pass
the measure, and that the necessary three
fourths of the states will give the assent
to make Il effective.
There Will be no difficulty in getting the
assent of the states" said Mr.. Tucker, "as
there Is no liIait within which time the
states are to give assent. When, therefore,
Congress submits the constitutional amend
ment to the states. ten of them may ap-
prove 1t and one reject it. The ten affirma-
tive votes count III its favor, put The one
negative does not count against 1t. That is,
the state which has voted in the negative
may try again the next year. Thus, only
affirmative votes are recorded at the State
Department, and when, after a series of
years, the affirmative votes reach three
fourthS of all the states the Constitution is
amended. At present, with forty-four states.
we would need the assent of thirty-two.
The assent of fourteen is assured in ad-
vance, as eleven state legislatures had for
mally resolved in favor of the change up to
two years ago, and three more since that
time. California, Oregon, Indiana, Illinois,
New York. Michigan, Kansas, Idaho. West
Virginia, Louisiana and Ohio are among the
states already committed.
In the meantime, while the states are
giving their assent, the amendment is prac-
tically in force, many states are nomi-
mating their Senators at state conventions.
Illinois started the movement Michigan has
recently followed, and the practice Will soon
become universal. Senators Palmer and
Mitchell are particularly interested in the
measure in the Senate, and have no doubt
Of its passage at this session, or in the

A CHINO-JAPANEsE WAR.
No Confirmation of the Rumor to He
Obtained,

In the absence Of official confirmation. the
report that war has been declared between
China and Japan finds srssAif credence in
official circles. notwithstanding the impress
sion that war is not an<Smprobable out
come of existing strained relations between
China and Japan, between Japan and Co.
rea and between China and Russia. The
announcement that Corea had consented to
the reforms proposed by Japan is now
amended by the report that Corea will con-
slider such propositions only In the event of
the withdrawal Of japanese troops. This
adds to the difficulty of peaceful solution
Of the differences. for the reason that Ja-
pan regards the presence Of troops as a
necessary condition to the ACCOMPLISHMENT
OF the proposed changes in the government
1t Is understood that Japan has politely de-
clinod the offer Of the United States to me-
date the Corean affair. and that United
States Minister Dunn has been informed
that Japan has no intention Of making war
on Corea, and is keeping troops there
simply to bring about certain governmental
reforms.
The eastern situation n being closely
watched by naval officers who are ALWAYS
alive to anything that promises to call war
ships into active operations The situation
is undoubtedly very critical, and IT would
not cause much surprise If the Chino
japanese war rumor is merely premature.

any harmony between its representatives
in the Senate and those in the House and
Its President. No delicacy, no regard for
personal feelings and apparently no reRnrd
for the partys interests seemed to be taken
into consideration. The whole episode ne
the character of an explosion calculated TO
blow things sky-high, without regard to the
consequences.
His Closing Warning.
At the close Of his speech Mr.. German
said that no utterance Of his today or at
any other time would prevent his meeting
with his associates and calmly and earnest
ly considering the question of an adjust
n ent of the differences as would lead to the
enactment of such legislation on this ques-
ton as the democratic party might stand
and which would stand for years to come on
the statute books.
He said further that he wanted to warn
gentlemen, particularly Mr. Hill of New
York and Mr.. Villas against taking such
steps as would lead to the defeat Of the
bill. He said that they had heard declara-
tions OF enough Senators to assure them
that amendments to the bill such as they
proposed would mean the defeat Of all
legislation

SATOLLrS LETTER.
Thc .Papal Ablegate Declines Today
Anything foy Publication.

Mgr. Satoln refused to express himself in
eny way concerning his much-discussed
liquor decision. Though almost a score of
newspaper men have called at the residence
OF the ablegate during the past three days.
he has steadfastly refused to see them OF to
respond to any inquiries except by sending
the usual reply of nothing at present"
The only communication allowed to be had
with the ablegate was note asking several
questions IN connection with his action in
sustaining Bishop Watterson's ruling sub
mitted today. Mg,- Satolli, however, de-
cided to maintain silence. for the present
at least. and said he had nothing TO say
about the natter
Interesting Developments Later.
1t is intimated at Mgr. Satollfs residence
that some interesting developments In the
case may be forthcoming later, though It is
said TO be the present intention of the
ahlegate to drop the matter and let the
diocese of Cincinnati hereafter attend to all
matters growing out Of the affair."
1t is stated by one OF the archbishop'e
friends that the decision which had been
Known to outside parties prior to its publ
cation, was intended to apply only to the
immediate jurisdiction of Bishop Waiter
son, who is characterized an intense
adherent of the temperance cause. The
real aim, II was explained, was merely to
II tuence those of the diocese who were ad-
dicted to liquor habits TO use intoxicating
stimulants with more moderation, as many
cases of want caused by their excessive use
had been brought to his attention and had
aroused his sympathy.
Some Protests Probably Submitted.
Whether any communications had been
issued from liquor dealers as a result of his
ruling Archbishop Satoll refused to say.
but it is believed that several dealers have
submitted protests. The archbishop. &C
cording to an informant, regards many Of
the published statements about the case as
ir territorial Misrepresentation, but does not
regret the publication of the fun letter to
the bishop. 1t was expected by some that
Bishop Watterson would visit Washington
to confer with the archbishop but this be-
lief is not confirmed at the latter's home.
The last visit Of the bishop here was about
q month ago.

THE CITY POSTMASTER
Business Men Are Working Hard for Mr..

Another Candidate Is, However, Hope-
full That Cleveland May Take

During the past few days a strong inter-
est has been awakened in regard to the next
postmaster Of Washington. While the term
Of Postmaster Sherwood does not expire
until next February. the various gentlemen
who are hopeful Of succeeding him have
not been idle in securing the support Of
their friends and their friends friends, and
quito recently quiet but strong movement
has been inaugurated among local business
men with view Of urging the appointment

seller.
Working for Robert BeaII.
Mr. BealPs name was mentioned some
months ago in connection with the postmas-
tership. but he rather smiled at the idea of
becoming a candidate. Since that time
however, steady pressure has been brought
to bear to cause him to seriously consider
the possibility Of entering official life. and
the movement in his favor has now assumed
considerable proportions, and is being push
ed by many of the most prominent business
men IN the city. There is no diminutioa of
exertion on the part Of the various other
candidates. however, and there are many
democrats who believe that Mr. w n

succeed Mr. Sherwood. Both Mr.. Bean and

concerned neither has any advantage.

The tendency of administrations to go out

Will not get the office. ItAis generally said

paftnent, Is candidate for the postmaster
ship Of Washington, and that he is heinz
strongly backed for the place by his friends
who are intimately connected with the

ana others. 1t is argued that precedent will
also be In Mr.. Thomas favor, as Post
masters Anger, Conger and Sherwood, the
present incumbent, were all appointed from
Michigan.
