members of the State OF Maine Reed Club.

Blackburn's Defeat Raises a Question.

Senator Blackburn's defeat for re
election by the adjournment of the
Kentucky Legislature without a choice
raised the question today at the Cap
itol whether a Republican senator
would not be the result of the bitterly
fought contest which has Just come to q
conclusion at Frankfort 1t was stated
by Kentucky Democrats that Governo'
Bradley would resign his office as gov
ernor and would receive the appoint
ment of senator from Lieutenant Gov
ernor Worthington. This is hardly
likely to occur, in view of the certainty
that Governor Bradley would be re-
fused a seat in the Senate should such
an appointment be made. The right of
the governor to appoint after the fail
ure of the Legislature to elect a SEN
ator was decided in the negative by
the Fifty-third Congress in the case of
Senator Mantle, appointed from the
state of Montana as successor to SEN
ator Sanders. The Mantle case was
similar to the case of A. c. Beckwith
of Wyoming, appointed by the gov
ernor of that state, and of John B. AL
len, of Washington, who was appointed
his own successor by the Governor of
the state of Washington. The Senate
in the very full debate which took
place upon these cases, voted down the
majority report from the Committee
on Privileges and Elections and adopt
ed the views of the minority Party
lines did not enter at all into the de-
cision of the Senate The verdict of
the Senate then, which will stand as
precedent in future cases, was that the
Governor had no power under the Con-
sttution to appoint where it was DOS

pulled the man from Iowa out of hi
cozy nest and marched him down to
the Youghiogheny river and duckeo
him. Some one sent Senator Quay {

An Exciting Episode Between Senator Push
and Don Dickinson.

washington, March 19.--While the
naval appropriation bill of this session
makes the most liberal provision for
the increase of our war vessels, of any
since the war, carrying no less than an
aggregate appropriation of twenty
nine million dollars, there is never
theless, feeling that in view of exis-
ting circumstances, the number of bat
tie ships might wen have been even
further increased. Chairman Boutelle
says that in addition to these four
ships the present Congress will have
to provide for two more battle ships
authorized by the preceding Con-
gress In his annual report the secre-
tary of the navy recommended the
building of only two ships of this class,
but the committee, after full considera-
ton, had authorized the building of
four, and larger number of torpedo
boats than ever before authorized in
any appropriation bill.
1t is the purpose of the committee to
provide for the building of the bat
tleships by private contract, the eX-
perience of the Government in building
ships of this class in its own yards
having been very Improbable. If the
action of the committee receives the
approval of the House, which is
highly probable, and the concur
renee of the Senate, the Navy De-
partment should have the plans pre-
pared and the contracts awarded be-
fore the close of the current calendar
year. If this be done it is very proba-
BILE the four proposed battleships will
be completed as early as the two
vessels now under construction at
Newport News, and within three
years six first-class battleships will be
added to the Navy.
There are now in the navy four first
class battleships, namely, the Iowa
Indiana, Massachusetts and Oregon,
and one second-class battleshp, the
Texas. The Maine, which is regarded
as equal to most Of the battleships of
foreign navies, is steel-armored
cruiser of about 1000 tons displace-
ment, and the Olympia is a protected
cruiser of about 5000 tons dsplace-
ment. These two vessels have been
recently completed and placed in COM
mission. In addition to these. we have
three first-class steel triple-screw
cruisers in the New York Columbia
and Minneapolis, the first being armored
and the two last being protected. The
addition of six battleships will make
the United States navy more formid-
able then ever before in its history
