Some Of the enormous possibilities

France is learning by sharp expert
ences that she cannot make her exc
eutive responsible to the two chambers
Of a double legislature. In framing her
constitution she followed America in
establishing an elective executive, but
England Is making her advisers de-
pendent on a legislative majority for
their continuance in Office. Thus the
executive has neither the English
strength Of heredity and continuity
nor the American of independence. I'm
der this system nothing has been easier

ARMAMENT OF LAKE VESSELS.
Congress VIII Be Asked to Supply Them

Congress Will Be Asked to Supply Them
 with Rapid-Fire Rifles.
 In view of the presidents decision in the case of the bid of the Detroit Dry Dock; company that under existing treaties naval vessels cannot be built on the great lakes, the navy department will now press upon congress the impor- tance of allowing it's estimate of $5OO.- GOO for the accumulation of supply of rapid-fire rifles for the auxiliary navy.
 One of the most forcible arguments that will be presented is the fact that Great Britain already has number of small war vessels which can be quickly taken into the great lakes through the Canadian canals, and in time of war ravage our great lake cities, which are now defenseless.
 With proper supply of guns on hand. however, it is argued large number of the magnificent American lake steam. CTS could be rapidly armed in an emer- gency and could easily overthrow the British gunboats, which are not ar- mored vessels.

A Prediction That There Will Bs Three
 Tickets In Kansas This Year, as Usual.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jan. 27.-A special to the Times fir on Topeka, Kan, says: There has been a good deal of news. paper talk lately about fusion between democrats and populists this year, with George w. Click as the candidate for governor. While such a combination is possible it is not probable. Many of the democratic leaders are opposed to any kind of coalition with the pop ulists, claiming it would result disas- trously to their organization, as did the arrangement of 1892. The populist leaders it is said also are opposed to fusion. Those who are out spoken for fusion are democrats and populists who prefer any thing to republicanism. This fac ton is as yet greatly in the minority, but is growing. However, it is the opinion of conservative democrats and populists that there will not be any fusion on state officers this year, and that there will be three straight tick cts in the field, as in 1894. At any rate, fusion cannot be accomplished without fight

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The leaders who conducted the silver conference and formulated the plan for the con. veution at St. Louis on the 22d of July claim to have confidential encourage ment from very prominent democrats and republicans. They say that the names of those who participated open- ly affords no indications of the real strength of the movement. These senators and representatives who are given the encouragement take the position that ex-Congressman Hatch, of Missouri, outlined in confer ence. They retain conditional loy- atty to the old parties, but say that if these parties do not come out at the national conventions for free coinage at 16 to they will join the new organization and support the silver ticket. It is not expected that anything will be done about candi- dates for the silver ticket until after the repu blican and democratic nation. al conventions. Then silver repub. lican and a silver democrat will be se- lected from among the most prom:ne nt members of the old parties willing to accept places on the ticket.

OhmOved ny Coincidence. "Of course, you Ill know am not SUI. perstitious," begsn the man who al. ways begins his t,lles of uncanny things With the same words, but there are such things as c,incidences."
 As he made ;he usual pause at this point, one of his uniformly polite hear CTS answered.: "Yes; and what mlrht be the present coincidence which you would view with superstition if you were not so happily free from supersti- tions of every solt?"
 Just this," said the speaker, duly cncouraged: "Thc other day vert down to the Atlantic Highlands to spend a day and a night at the house of some friends. The steamer which car- ried me down there met the steamer France, of the National line, coming up the bay, and we passed so close to her that l could easily read her name. The next morning chanced to be sta1 ding on the piazza and looking around the bay with n spy glass, when l caught sight Of pretty little schooner, with the number '13' in big figures on her malnsail. Some of the people in the mousse had been talking about going sailing in the afternoon. Icould not 20 with them, as had to come up to New York by an early boat, so I said, iok- mgly' Look here; I wouldn't go sail ing to-day for a good deal; there's pilot boat No. l3 out there in the bay, and it's sure hoodoo.'
 Tt was very mild sort of joke, and it met with the very mild recognition it deserved as such. I thought no more about it till got to the city and picked up morning paper. Then the first piece Of news that met my eye was that the chief steward of the France had learned, on his arrival at the port the day before, that his two boys, whom he had left at home in England, had 1,ur- dcrcd their mother. The report fur ther said that the first news of the hCr- rible affair had been brought to the steward by the pilot who boarded tie ship from pilot boat Mo- 13."
 Tt was coincidence, as you ,ay," said one of the listeners, "but I have often and often sat down at table in a party of 13, and in spite of the best story you can tell l would do so again without hesitation"
 80 have l and so would l." said the man who boasted of not being suJer- stitious, ''and, what is more, have sat in party of l3, and then. after more than year had passed, in the same party of 13 again, so I know what am talking about when tell you am not superstitious, in spite of coincidences."

 TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. 27.-The report is brought to Topeka from a source which ought to be authentic that Con- gressman-at-Large Blue would seek the nomination for congress from the Second district next spring, and turn the nomination for congressman-at- large over to someone else. The next legislature is certain to legislate the congressman-at-large out of office by creating the Eighth district, and the lines are very likely to fall in such manner as to leave Blue in the Second district. where he now resides. In such event he would have to give up his congress sonal work or make fight against some republican already seated. His friends feel that the withdrawal of Miller gives Blue as good right as anybody to seek the Second district nomination
