GOVERNORS VS.. THE SENATE.
Executives Of Kentucky, Florida and Oregon
Give Their Reasons

Because the Legislatures Of Montana
Senators. each of those States had but a single
member in the United States Senate from 1893
to 1895. The Governors made appointments
to illl the vacancies, but the Senate denied
their right To appoint, the test case being that
Of Lee Mantle, of Montana.
In 1895 ". VI. Addicks deadlocked the
Legislature of Delaware. and 1t was not until
this year that Senator GRAY had n colleague.
There are three vacancies ia the senate at
present. and. Notwithstanding the Mantle
precedent, appointments have been made by
the Governors OF Florida, kentucky and
Oregon.
In view of the peculiar situation Of the
senate. and apparent improbabillty of any
oi the appointees being seated, the New York
World telegraphed the Governors Of Florida,
Kentucky and Oregon as follows;
In the appointment Of n United States
senator, did you consider the ruling of the
senate denying the right of the Governors
To appoint where the Legislature had failed
TO elect applicable? Wherein does the case in
your state differ from the Mantle case? BY
what date do you think the Legislature will
eject SENATOR
The following replies have been received:
FRANKFORT, KY, March 3.
Yes, but the decisions in the cases Of Man
tie and others in 1898 are not entitled to
the weight which attaches To an unbrokcn
line of decisions by the senate for nearly n
century before holding to the contrary.
Especially is this true In view Of the fact that
the earlier decisions are in plain accord with
tho provisions of subdivision 2, section 3,
Article l., Constitution OF the United States.
| am unable to give you anything like def
mite reply to your other question.

Governor OF kentucky.

GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
Some Figures ss to the Output and Value of
Product in the Mines.

Cripple Greek district is credited with a
production of $40, 1000, 900 in gold last year
and the state with about GIG, 100000. Jude-
ing from the value OF the ore mined in the
first two months of 1897 this years output
will reach fully rs, 100000.
q The value Of the product OF all the mines
of the camp In December was over u ,O00,-
900. The ore haulers, railroad and mill
managers say that the January and Febru-
ary tonnage was increased for each month
over December from 10 to 20 per cent. which
would indicate II the December figures were
correct, value Of from VI, 100, 900 to 81, 200, :,
900.
Accepting this valuation as correct, before
the year ends, the camp will be shipping
each month from $4,000 to $4,000 tons per
month and it's gross value will be worth
from 81, 500, 900 to u 100000.

period in 1885 Of AZ. 200 In January last the
decrease, as compared with January, 1896,
was S325, making the total decrease for
the seven months 45,525
This decrease is said to be largely due TO
the difficulties and uncertainties attending
a landing In this country. The many de-
portations and the strict examinations en-
forced in this country is stated to have caus-
I'D a large increase Of immigration from
Europe TO Brazil Argentine republic and
other South American countries, where in
ducements are offered. An important factor
in the large decrease of arrivals in this
country is believed to be the proclamation Of
the Italian minister Of the interior warning
undesirable classes from embarking for this
country and refusing them passport.
