FIGHT FOR SENATORSHIPS
Reports Received by the Republican Con.
gressional Committee.
Five Seats in the Upper House of
Congress Believed to BE Assured
in Coming Elections.

In the reports from the congressional dis
tricts received by the republican congress
SIGNAL committee considerable information
comes of the condition Of the legislative
campaigns in the states. Such information
is interesting at tLis time in view of the
fact that so many seats in the United
States Senate are at stake in the coming
elections.
The republicans are receiving reports
which encourage the belief that substan-
tiai gains may be made in the Senate this
fall. Five seats are considered almost as
sured and six or seven may be won. These
of course, will be sound money votes.

are very confident that they can send a
protective tariff and sound money republi-

'Emphatically, no. Miss Winnie was the

Would Be NeaninsIess,

For that reason it would not he appro-
pirate to call even the daughter of Gen.
Robert E. Lee the Daughter of the Con-
federacy.' To designate any one else as
Daughter of the Confederacy' would not
only be Inappropriate and meaningless but
would deprive the title of all its value.
IN the very nature of the case no one
except Miss Winnie Davis is entitled to be
called the Daughter of the Confederacy.'
That title was unique and peculiarly her
own, and Is very properly to be placed upon
her tomb. To designate any one else by
that title would be almost a sacrilege.
AS with Jefferson Davis passed the title
of president of the confederacy, so with
Miss Winnie has passed that of Daughter
of the Confederacy,"

ADULTERATE LIQUORS.
Mr.. Thomas w. GiImer's Suggestion
of an Investigation.

In a receI t cOmmunica ton to the District
Commissioners, Mr.. Thomas W. Gilmer
suggested that they include in their esti-
mates for the coming fiscal year an item
to enable them to make analysis and test
the purity of liquors sold in the District.
Mr.. Gilmer said that, in his opinion, adul-
teration is carried on to an alarming eX-
tent in many cases to the prejudice of the
health of the public, and ne remarked that
if the Commits 5ioners had some way
of getting at the exact facts, he believed
they would hold that licenses should be
denied to dealers aduIterating their goods.

as to spirituoLs liquors.
Mr.. Gilmer's. letter was referred to the
excise board for an expression of opinion
regarding the writer's suggestions, and as
to whether. if, in the opinion of the board
such examinations are desirable, they could
not be made by using the receipts from
licenses for the expense thereof.
The Boards Response.
In reply the excise board, through Mr. ].
Harrison Johnson, it's chairman, has re-
ported as follows:
In reference to the letter of Thos w
Gilmer recommending that an appropriation
be asked of Congress for the purpose of

him twice on the head and once in the side
with a large hammer. Subsequently he
went to the office of Dr.. D. Percy Hickling

fense. He said that he and Mr.. Spliedt
were rivals in business, but denied that he
struck the prosecuting witness. His father
he said. struck Mr.. Spliedt, but not until
after Mr.. Spliedt struck the witness.
