THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

All signs indicate that we shall
witness "A very lively tussle among
aspirants for the L. ;. senatorship
Three pronounced candidates have
already opened headquarters at the
Hotel Pfster, in Milwaukee, and
from there daily and nightly raids
are being made upon the members
of the legislature. Each candidate
has one or more managers" con-
stantly on duty, "cigars on tap and
presumably Refreshments on the
side.n The candidates are j. V.
Quarles lawyer and orator OF Mil
waukee. j. w. Babcock, congress-
man and politician of the 30 district
and Isaac Stephenson, lumber KING
OF Marinette. Each has coterie OF
admirers who Insist that he Is par
excellence the man for senator, ana
that no other has much chance OF
success.
The establishment Of these head
quarters IN Milwaukee III advance
of the meeth Z of the ! gislature 1t
is expected by some viii greatly "fa-
cilitate" matters, as members
can thus be brought under
"proper influences" enlightened as
to the merits Of candidates, etc, and
he ready to vote Understandings,
when they come together at Madison
in January.
There are n few ut least who look
at the matter differently. They ar
que that coutcuding forces are prone
to grow more determined rs conflicts
of this sort are prolonged, and that
there Is always tendency 10 the de-
velopment Of u disposition to down
the other fellow ia the fight, which
time strengthens, until each OF the
original contestants If he finds he
cannot win will prefer dark horse
to either of those that have vigor-
ously run the course with him
through several close heats.
From newspaper reports on the
SUI jet IL appears probable that
neither Of the three aggressive can
didates will have over one third of
the total vote of the republican
members when the caucus assem-
bles. A dead lock" between them
is more than likely, and the ultimate
defeat Of AL three is quite possible.
Such an outcome IL not especially 60
be dreaded, as while each of the can
didutvs named has something TO
recommend him for the position, the
per OF either can b. found in any
county OF the state. Several gentle
men IN this section OF the state may
be mentioned, either of whom would
grace the position of I. ;. senator,
and render valuable service 10 the
county. Among these are rN-Gov-
eruor Ryiand of Grant county, Hon.
Calvert Spensley, Hon. w. A. Jones
and Hon. Il. h. Joiner, of Iowa
county, Hon. +, A. ortou of Lafay-
ettc, Hon. f.. |. Kidd of Crawford,

New Treaties Necessary.

Washington. November :O.-Cnder
the general rule OF International law
war terminates all subsisting treaties
between belligerent states. The treat
les between the United States and
Spain which existed prior to the late
war are. therefore, assumed to be now
null and void. Though there are GER
tain limitations to this rule which
may be awaited of in the present case.
it is extremely probable that Il gem
erul revision of treaties will be un-
dertaken.
In this event it is likely that there
would be many changes of advantage
to both the United States and Spain.
The first treaty between the countries:
was concluded At San Lorenzo el Real
October p, 1905. 1t was called Il
treaty of friendship, limits and n:lvi-
CATION and fixed the boundaries be-
tween the United States and the SPAN
ish colonies of East and West Florida
and Louisiana.

The rise of a panic and the Involved
method in which an absolute mon
erchy compounds with truth to nuell 1t.
is aptly illustrated In an Incident OF
the days preceding the riots in Con-
stantinople in 1896. Two men got In
to a quarrel in the street. and one
knocked the other down. The passers-
by ran to get out OF the way OF the
blows which followed, and Others. see
ing tho flight ran also. Soon the Wild
est confusion resulted. Outside shut
ters were put up. choppers forced into
the street and swept along with the
crowd. The great bridge, over which
passes the most cosmopolitan crowd IN
tho world, was a torrent OF rushing hui
manity. Women falling in strength
dropped into doorwayH and alleys to
avoid being trampled to DEATH a
little later the government sent out
heralds announcing that a lion had es-
caped from a menagerie and caused
the panic; but that he had been re-
captured and all danger removed. "A
few weeks afterward occurred the ter
rible riots and the massacre "n'cn
