Point Overlooked Which May
Change It's Complexion.
THE ADMISSION OF NEW STATES
CUTS QUITE A FIGURE.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ga point that
has been overlooked in computing the
political complexion of the next Senate
is the admission of Utah with two Sena-
tors. The Act of the last session of Con-
gress,l admitting Utah, provides that in
March, 1895, the Constitutional Conven-
ton shall be held. On the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November of
that year the Constitution is to be sub
mitted to the people, and if ratified and
found by the President in accordance
with the Act, he will issue proclama-
ton admitting it as State.
The Act also provides that represent
ative tothe Fifty fourth Congress shall be
elected at the same time the vote is taken
upon the Constitution; also that State
officers and Legislature shall be chosen,
and that if the Constitution is ratified the
Legislature shall Immediately meet and
elect two United States Senators. AS
there is about month from the time the
election is held until the Fifty-fourth
Congress meets, there will be ample time
to nave all the formalities complied with,
ana Utah proclaimed a State In time for
its Senators and Representatives to par
tlcIpate in the organization of the next
Congress. This would make in all ninety
Senators, and as the next Senate now
stands the politics OF the Utah Senators
would cut an important figure.
Another probability which arises is the
admission of both New Mexico and Ari-
zona, which may be accomplished in
time so that tour more Senators would
participate in the organization of the
next Senate. Bills have already passed
i
these Territories. The Senate Committee
on Territories have reported them favor
ably to the Senate, and they are now on
the calendar. Senators of both parties
have been urging their passage.
1t is therefore quite likely that the
battle for the control of the Senate will
yet be fought out in Utah. New Mexico
and Arizona next year. The admission
of these as new States would make
a total of ninety-four Senators, and any
party to control would need forty-eig ht
for majority. With the Vice President,
the Democrats could control the Senate
with forty-seven Senators.

WHY he Was Selected to Succeed
General Howard.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 9.-Brigadier- Gen
eral McCook, who becomes a Major
General, is at present commanding the
Department of Colorado. He has been
forty-seven years in the military service,
and is one of that famous family of war
riors, the Fighting McCooks." He is a
graduate of West Point Military Acad-
envy, which he entered as a cadet in 1917.
He was a Captain in the regular army at
the outbreak of the war, from which he
emerged with the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel. For gallant service during the
war be was breveted a Major General in
the army In 1860.
The race tor the place vacated by Major
General Howard's retirement was be-
tween General McCook and General
Ruger, the latter commanding the De-
partment of California, and the former
was peculiarly fortunate in receiving the
appointment over General Ruger, who
stands at the head of the list OF Brigadier-
Generals, because he would otherwise re-
tire in few months with the rank of
Brigadier-General. AS it is, General
Ruger'S promotion will probably oniy be
delayed short time.
Colonel James Forsythe, who will be-
come a Brigadier- General, is one of the
most distinguished cavalry officers in the
army, and has behind him a notable rec
ord of service in the Indian campaigns.
At present he is Colonel of the Seventh
Cavalry, and in command of the artillery
school at Fort Riley. Kas. He is a grad
uate of West Point, from which he grad
uated in 1S5l, and is veteran of the late
war. He entered as First Lieutenant

he received his commission as a Bripa-
