WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. B.-The
senate to-day admitted Richard r. Ken
ney to the Delaware seat vacated many
months ago by Mr.. Higgins, and which
since then has been the subject Of con-
tInuous controversy. This augmented
the Democratic membership to 40, and
for the first time raised the full member
ship Of the senate to Its proper quota OF
80. 1t effected no essential change in
party strength, however, the division
being: Republicans. including independ-
ents, A; Democrats, 40; Popullsts, s; TO-
tai, 80.
All opposition to the seating Of Mr..
Eenney was Withdrawn, Republican
senators concedlnG that his credentials
from Governor Tunnel certifying that
the regular legislature had chosen him
in due form gave him prima facle right
of admission. Mr.. Chandler and Mr..
Hoar expressed this view, and stated
that Mr.. Kenney's title would be attzck-
ed hereafter on the ground that his cre-
dentlals while prlInl facie correct, came
from legislature fraudulently elected.

that the Dupont case could not be reopen

An English Paper Hits Hard
and Merited Blows.

London. April 29-In an editorial
under the caption Of "Tbe American
Crete,' The National Review will
say that no comparison can be made
between Cuba and Crete. There is
more suffering in Cuba than there is
in Crete. Spain has demonstrated
her incapacity to subdue the insur
rection in Cuba aud thereby forfeited
her moral right to hold the island.
The United Statess have perfectly
free hand to suppress the scandal at
their very doors, in which, The Re-
view declares, no other nation has
any right.to interfere. but the Ameri-
can government does not attempt to
intervene.
Ia conclusion The Review says
that the Americans are the best
Judges of their own interests. but
under the circumstances some charity
shonld temper their comments on the
~irfamy Of the European policy in
