SIX MORE SENATORS COMING.
Control of the Senate Depends Upon
Utah. Arizona and New Mexico.

washington, Nov. "a point that has
been overlooked in computing the polit-
zeal complexion of the next senate is
the admission of Utah with two sena-
tors The act of the last session of con-
gress admitting Utah, provides that In
March, 1895, the constitutional conven-
ton shall be held. On the first Tues
day after the first Monday In
constitution is to be submitted to
the people and If ratified and found by
the president to be in accordance with
the act. he will issue proclamation
admitting 1t as state. The act also
provides that the representative to the
Fifty-Fourth congress shall be elected
at the same time vote Is taken upon
the constitution; also that state officers
and a 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 a month from the
time election is held until the Fifty
Fourth congress meets, there will be
ample time to have all the formalities
complied with and Utah proclaimed a
state in time for it's senators and rep
resentatives to participate in the or
ganization of the next congress. This
would make in all 80 senators and, as
the next senate now stands, the politics
of Utah senators would cut an impor-
tant figure.
Another probability which arises is
the admission of both New Mexico and
Arizona, which may be accomplished in
time so that four more senators would
participate in the organization of the
next senate. Bills have already passed
the house for the admission of both of
these territories. The senate commit
tee on territories have reported them
favorably 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 control of the senate will yet
be fought out in Utah, New Mexico
and Arizona next year. The admis-
sion OF these new states would make a
total OF "a senators and any party to
control would need As for a majority
With the vice president the democrats
could control the senate with II SEN
ators.

expected nature of the returns from all
parts of the country that he was not pre-
pared to give an opinion for publication
of the causes which led to the landslide.
He attributes his own defeat, however,
very largely to over-confidence among
political friends in the democratic coun-
ties. resulting in dangerous falling off
in the democratic vote. He takes defeat
philosophically, and is of the opinion
that the republican victory will prove a
valuable lesson to Missouri democrats.
Additional returns received reduce
Hubbard's supposed plurality of 600
over Bland to 10, number so small
that 1t will require an official vote to
determine the result.

The Lawyer Answered.

One of Chicago's most promi-
nent lawyers tells a good story on
himself. he says;
"It was when l used to practice
law in little town near the center
of the state. A farmer had one of
his neighbors arrested for stealing
ducks, and 1 was employed by the
accused to endeavor to convince
the court that such was not the
case. The plaintiff was positive
his neighbor was guilty of the Of
Tense charged against him, because
he had seen the ducks in defend
ants yard.
"How do you know they are
yonr duck's?" l asked.
ooh, I'd know my own ducks
anywhere" replied the farmer, and
he went into a description of their
different peculiarities whereby he
could readily distinguish them
from others.
"Why," 1 said, "those ducks
cannot be of such a rare breed.
have saAn some just like them in
my own yard"
"That's not OF all unlikely" re
piled the farmer, "for they are no
the only ducks I've had stoler
lately"
