The senate's Probable Action II 04vsrnor
Watson Appoints Senator.
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The probability
that Governor Watson will appoint man
as senator from Delaware to sucoeed SEN
ator Higgins is considered sufficiently
strong about the senate to cause general
speculation as to what would DO the
chances Of his being seated. The history
of the senate does not furnish q parallel
case to that which would be presented In
case of such action by the Delaware gov
ernor, but 1t Is more like the cases Of two
years ago presented from the states of Wy
oming, Montana and Washington than
any others.
1t would be similar to those, In do far as
1t would involve tho governors right to
appoint when the legislature has failed to
elect, but 1t would develop other ques-
tions, important among which would be
the right of the governor to act in the ca
pacity Of state senator while filling the
executive Office. The cases Of the north
western states also differ from that which
would be presented from Delaware, In
that there was no counter claimant in any
of them.
Nevertheless those cases would doubtless
have more or less influence upon the
action Of the senate In the Delaware ques-
tion because Of the points Of similarity,
and also because tho majority Of senators
who would act in the Delaware case acted
In the other cases. SiIty-six Of the sena-
tors who voted in the former test case from
Montana are still members of the senate,
and If they should divide as they did on
the first vote in 1893 by voting and pair
ing, the result would be 80 for seating and

japan Want. to Branch ou |.

TOXIC, May 18.-The recent achieve
ments Of Japan have led her to turn her
attention to securing treaty with Mica
ragua by which she would secure marked
privileges in the Nicaragua canal. The
subject has been under consideration at
Washington between Minister Guzman,
representing Nicaragua and the represen-
tative of Japan. At one time the basis OF
treaty seemed to have been reached. DR..
Guzman feared, however, that the United
States might have cause to object to see
ing privileges accorded Japan. This OBJ
lection was met by the representative OF
Japan by proposition that Japan should
receive the same privileges as other coun-
tries with which Nicaragua has treaties,
except the United States, 1t being ex-
pressly recognized that the United States
is entitled to superior advantages because
of proximity to Nicaragua. The hegotia-
tions stopped on this point, and the treaty
has not as yet been concluded.

possible to adjourn finally before the first

close Of the session. The npportionment
and appropriation bills have not yet been
considered. At this evenings session OF
the house calendar of forty eight ap.
preparation bills will be road for the
first time. The senate apportionment
committee has not yet reported out any
bills. The house committee still has up
wards Of 1850 on hand, which will be held
back up.ll those now on the calendar are
we'll advanced.
The revenue bill framed by the state tax
conference will be considered on third
reading tomorrow In the house. On We'd
nesday the bill creating the county of
Quay will be called up In the house for
final passage. Its friends are confdsnt that
they have enough votes to put it through
this stage. On Tuesday evening the op-
ponent of the Porter school bill will be
given hearing by the house municipal
corporations committee.
Governor Hastings is disposing of the
bills as fast as they reach him. He has
very few under consideration. Among
them Is the Farr compulsory education
bill, which will probably be signed tomor-
row, along with the other bills not yet
acted upon. On Wednesday meeting of

consideration of u number of CAGES which
