CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT
South Meagerly Represented in
Officeseeking HOrdes.
Crowds Arrived from East and
Coming Cabinet Men Are Among
Them-Wm. Pinkerton Here.

And still the crowds are coming. In
coming trains from the East yesterday
brought scores of prominent and plain citi-
Zens from forty odd States, and the hotels.
which are already filled, were taxed TO
accommodate the late arrivals.
Among those who registered at the Ar
lington Were, Col. John j. McCook, Mrs.
McCook and Miss McCook, of New York
Col. McCook was offered a position In
Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet, but he refused
to accept portfolio other than that of the
Attorney General. Among others who took
rooms at Mr.. Roessle's hostelry were, Miss
Julia B. Foraker, daughter of Senator
elect Foraker, and Maxwell Evarts, of New
York city.
Judge McKenna, OF California, who is to
be Attorney General in the new Cabinet.
took rooms at the Cochran
Another Cabinet officer to arrive was
Hon James A. Gary, Of Maryland, who,
with his wife and two daughters, took
apartments at the Normandie Another
distinguished arrival at the Normandie
was Senator elect w 7. Turner, of Spokane,
Wash.
Gov. .Lowndes and staff, of Maryland, were
late arrivals, who registered at the Shore
ham.
William A. Pinkerton, the we'll known
detective, is also q guest of the Shore
ham. Mr.. Pinker ton has come on to
Washington for the purpose of aiding
the local police in the capture of notorious
crooks.
There is not going to be any great
number from the South to witness the
Inauguration. While the Metropolitan, Ma
tional and st. James Hotels, where South.
ern people most do congregate, are we'll
filled with visitors, yet those there are
more generally from other setions of the
country.
No organized bodies, either military or
civic, will come from any Of the Southern
States, with the possible exception of
Kentucky The governor OF that common
wealth will be the only executive in the
parade from any Of the States south of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers. Gov Bradley
will arrive this morning with his staff, and
perhaps two or three companies of State
troops.
Tennessee will have a large delegation
here. This is largely on account of the
prominence of II. Clay Evans, ofthat State,
who failed to get into the Cabinet, but
expects some good appointment, and will
be in position to push his friends to the
front for places both in and outside OF
the State.
Kentucky is another State that will de-
mand offices by wholesale. The fact that
the Republicans carried that State in the
late election, has whetted the office
seeking appetite, and the grass in the
White House yard may all be tramped
down by "a hundred thousand or more of
unarmed Kentuckians."

Fraternal Society Bill.

Senator Gallinger endeavored last even
ing to secure the passage of the House
bill regulating the conduct of fraternal
societies in the District Of Columbia.
Senator Hill raised the point of order that
no quorum was present. BY the time "a
quorum developed the appropriations Com
mittee claimed the time for the compile
ton of the naval appropriation bill, and
this defeated the further consideration
of the fraternal bill.

The winter sleep Of Animals.

Many OF the mammals make the winter
time of deep and enduring sleep. OF
this the best instance is the bats which.
because of their thin membranous wings
and their insect food, are forced in the
winter to withdraw from all activities.
Those who dwell in winter lands where
there are caverns may see these bats
gathering at the close of summer in the
recesses of the caves. Guided by we
know not what sense, they fly far into the
cave. and there, seeking skilfully in the
darkness. find some rough place on the
ceiling to which they cling by their sharp
hooked toes; then folding their wings
about them they quickly fall into sleep
ter from which they awake when spring
revisits the fields above their refuge The
bears the Op0sSuInS, hedgehogs,t and 9TH

habit of taking a long rest in the winter
season., a repose that goes beyond the
limits of sleep as We commonly know II.
So too. the lower Avertebrates. the rep

their hiding-places in the earth or the
waters and browse the dark half of the

measure initiating the lower life in the

The Election,

From returns received up to the time
of going to press it is evident that Van
Wyck, the Tammany candidate, has
carried New York city by a substan-
tial majority. The vote in Ohio ap-
has gone Democratic by about 1000 plu-
rality. The Democrats claim the state
on both the gubernatorial and legisla-
tive tickets. Fuller returns may
change this. George Fred Williams is
handsomely buried in Massachusetts,.
1t looks as if Senator German had
been defeated in Maryland. In the
other states the vote was light and re-
turns are coming in slowly.

The Situation in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Among the first returns received
from Ohio was bulletin to the effec.
that the Republicans conceded Hamil-
ton county, in which is Cincinnati, the
ostensible home, of Mclean, to the
Fusionists At time Of writing it is
not clear whether, as the Fusionists
hoped and declared, this will give the
anti-Hanna forces the control of the
legislature necessary to ensure his de-
feat as senator, if not the election of a
silver man in his stead. 1t certainly
would be hazardous to deduce such a
conclusion from the vote already an
nounced.
A peculiar condition of affairs has
existed in that county in the last few
weeks A fusion between Silver Re-
publicans, so called, and Democrats
was effected. And yet when the Dem
ocrats proposed to bring Bryan there
to speak, the Silver Republicans de-
clared if it was done, they would bolt
JIIc luSSIOu du6CIHCnl duu IL W do hOS
done. Moreover, national issues were
not talked by the Fusionists. Local
jealousies, mudslinging, personalities
and much ado about boss rule, all in
the interests of as corrupt a boss as
there is in the country, John r. Nc
Lean, were INDUCED in to the utmost.
If all this should result in the election
ID of a free silver senator it would throw
a very strong light upon the absurdity
of the situation there.
Hamilton county is normally Re pub
lican, though not always by large ma
jorities, and a good deal of uncertainty
attends an election there, by reason of
the vacillation that has characterized
Cincinnati politics. In 1887 it gave
Foraker. for governor, majority Of
nearly 1000. The next year it gave
Harrison, for President, a little less
than 1000. Foraker carried it by lit
tie over 1000 in 1885, Mckinley car
ried it by $3.50 in 80, and by more than
10000 in 49, The following year the
Republican candidate for secretary of
state had a majority Of $1,000, though
his vote was only 600 larger than was
McKinley's the previous year, the
Democratic vote falling off. In '95.
Bushnell had a majority of II, 667. Last
fall the Republican majority in that
county was 1854.

Adequate Dock. ,or American Ships.

It is evident that one Of the first
things to engage the attention of Con-
gress at it's next session, will be the
question of providing adequate means
for docking the large ships of the
American navy. 1t was a humiliation
to the pride Of the American people to
be obliged. only a few weeks ago, to
send one ofsthe finest of our warships
to Halifax, in order to secure the dock
ing facilities necessary to put it into
sea-going condition. 1t had, too. bad
effect upon our prestige abroad in ad-
vertising to the world weakness that
should never have been permitted to
exist. The claim has been made that
the United States possesses no dock,
| built or building, able to take the
heaviest of our armored cruisers when
drawing six feet of water more than
her normal draught. Such being the
condition in time of peace when the
principal use of dry docks is to clean
and repair bottoms. this affording in
crease Of speed, and decrease Of coal
consumption, what would be our con-
dition in a time of war when, in addi-
ton to such minor repairs we would
have to take care Of injuries received
in action.
In recent interesting article Mr.. r.
G. Skerrett advocates the construction
of floating docks as perfected and now
in use in England. He belives that
that excavated docks are behind the
times, and in support of this view adj
duces many strong arguments which
are certainly worthy of careful con-
sideration.
The question is certainly one to be
carefully dealt with, and whatever
money may be expended by our gov
eminent for more adequate and
modern dock facilities should be done
so with an eye to the future as well
as to the present.

Japanese Students in America.

The United States, and particularly
California, is now educating the
younger generation of Japan. Already
five bear diplomas from the univer-
sites of this state, three of whom have
graduated in civil engineering, one IN
social science, and one in zoology. AT
present there are Is students in the
universities, three being at Stanford
and II at the University of California.
OF these, six are taking the social
science course, fitting themselves to be
teachers in Japan, three are studying
electrical science, two are taking
mechanics, and there is one each in tn.
sciences of medicine, dentistry, chem
istry and political economy.
After completing their course in the
university, many Of the students aspire
to take postgraduate courses in east
ern colleges. Thus there are those now
studying at Johns Hopkins, at Yale, at
Cornell. Many Of those now at the
University of California, in addition to
their accomplishment through such
studies as they are now pursuing, have
visions of seeking what further polish
the educational fields of Europe can
afford, ultimately returning to Japan.
