WARRINGTON. June 2s.-The report of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections
upon the claim of Henry w. Corbett to a scat In
tho Senate from Oregon. under appointment Of
the Governor OF that State, the Legislature hav-
ing failed to elect. was made public to-day.
After reviewing the facts in regard to the Legis-
laturo. the report says 1t Is clear that that
body has been In recess over since March 3,
when the vacancy began. Mr.. Corbett was ap-
pointed on March 6. and the only question. there.
fore, Is OF tho power Of tho Governor to mako q
temporary appointment. The report concludes:
at 10 we'll settled by a practice which has
existed from the foundation OF the Government
that vacancies 30 occurring after the beginning
Of q constitutional term may be filed by the
Legislature. II that DO true they may be hlled
by the Executive of the State during the recess
OF the Legislature. The Legislature Is only au-
thoriEed by tho Constitution TO I'LL such yacan-
cies as might be allied by the Executive by tenn.
the Legislature. So II the Executive has no
power. the Legislature has no power. Tho
Executive may lawfully make a temporary ap-
pointment and tho Legislature I'LL that vacancy
when II assemblies or the Office must remain
vacant for the rest OF the six years. We think,
therefore. that. the Governor of Oregon was
entitled to make the appointment. and that
Mr.. Corbett Is entitled to his seat"
These conclusions would probably have been
for the fact that the Republicans are not In a ma
jority,

the People Inland . Lesson.
WARRINGTON. June 29.-The Navy Depart
ment has decided to send the vessels Of the tor
pedo boat fotilla on a tour Of inland waters,
principally to give the people living away from
the seaboard a chance to see and inspect the
little craft. Arrangements for part OF tho pro-
gramme to be executed by the fotilla were made
to-day. The boats will be concentrated at New
port, where drills and maneuvres will occupy
some time. Then they will start on a practice
cruise of four or five months.
The fotilla will ascend the Mississippi atleast
as far as ST. Louis, and probably as high up as
the boats can get, as the department wants to
ascertain the ability of torpedo boats to pene-
trate shallow waters. A number OF acct
dents are expected TO happen TO the f%iotilla;, Tho
boats arc frail In construction, and have delicate
machinery, and breakdowns are likely to occur.
But according TO the explanation given at the
1t 10 better TO have breakdowns In
time OF peace than In time Of war. for defects
can DO remedied now. and the sooner the %aotilla's
cruise Is begun the nearer the department will
be to attaining perfection In constructing and
handling the boats.

matte conventions pending before the Senate
which Chairman Davis of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs will ask that body to take up and
dispose of as soon as the Tariff bill is out Of tho
way. One is with Great Britain for a joint survey

country against the other. Tho commission
held a six months session In Washington in

because of lack of time.
Neither Of these conventions. Mr.. Davis
thinks. should require more than an hours time
for disposal, but should either of them or both
provoke a disposition to talk on tho part of Sem

truth In tho report that the Venezuelan Ministry
has resigned on account Of dissatisfaction with
the provisions Of the arbitration treaty for tho
settlement of the boundary dispute with Great
Britain. The Minister has received no infor-
nation that the Ministry has gone out, and he
said to-day that even II the report Of the Cabi-
net crisis proved true, tho reason given would
probably be found to be erroneous. The treaty
has been perfected. 1t was ratified by q unani-
nous vote OF the Congress, and the Cabinet
was in sympathy, with it. sehor Andrade be-
leves that the only matter likely to bring about
. change In the Cabinet Is tho differences ex-
listing among the Liberals over tho general cleo
ton to be held in the fail.
Three Liberal candidates, ono Of them Q broth
or Of Senior Andrade, are in the race for tho
