THE NEXT SENATE.

While President Mckinley seems to
have been in no wise embarrassed from
the fact that his party lacks a clear
majority in the United States senate,
vet he and his administration no doubt
would have felt more comfortably Sc
cure at times, had the Republicans
held an unquestioned majority. But
there are possible and probable
changes coming in the political make
UP of that body. The terms of thirty
senators will expire March 4, 1899. Three
of these places have already been filed.
They are Marcus A. Hanna (Rep0 Of
Ohio, Lewis E. McComas Rep.) Of
Maryland and John w. Daniel (Dem.)
of Virginia. OF the thirty whose terms
expire March 4, 1893, fifteen are Demo-
Gratis, eleven are Republicans, three
are Silver men, originally elected as
Republicans, and one is Populist So
far as the legislature have made choice
the Republicans have gained one seat
that of German of Maryland.
The senators to retire who will either
be reelected or whose places will be
filled by Republicans, are: Aldrich,
Rhode Island; Burrows, Michigan;
Clark, Wyoming; Davis, Minnesota;
Hale, Maine; Hawley, Connecticut;
Lodge, Massachusetts,; Proctor, Yer
mont; Quay, Pennsylvania; Wilson,
Washington-in all nine.
The other Democratic senators whose
terms Will expire next year are: Cock
rell, Missouri; Faulkner. West Vir-
ginia; Gray, Delaware; Mills, Texas;
Mitchell, Wisconsin,; Murphy, New
York; Pasco, Florida; Roach, North
Dakota; Smith. New Jersey; Turpie,
Indiana, and White. CaIifornia-eleven
in number.
1t is possible that IN seven of these
states-California, Indiana New Jersey
New York, North Dakota, West Viz
ginia and Wisconsin-that Republicans
Will be elected to succeed Democrats.
This insures a Republican gain Of
seven, and with Maryland's new choice,
McComas. a gain of eight Republican
votes.
A careful estimate of the situation
in the various states by competent
men indicates that of the thirty new
senators who viii take their seats on
March 4, 1899. there are good pros
poets for the election of nineteen, per-
haps twenty Republicans-a gain of
not less than nine members.

DEPLoRABLB IGNORANCE.

The ignorance Of the Spanish people,
not only of the world and its affairs,
but their illiteracy is deplOrable. Among
the very oldest of civilizations, its peo-
pie are little in advance of those of the
middle ages. They have not advanced a
single step in two hundred years. Sixty
nine per cent cannot write or read.
They have no conception of a represen-
tative government by its people. They
bIindly believe that they We're born to
rule by whatever royal house happens
to hold the ascendency, that it would be
wicked to wish for anything else. Like
sheep to the slaughter its fathers and
sons are driven into the army, sent to
death in the swamps Of Cuba or to
butchery in the antipodes in the Philip
pine Islands. So when a Hidalgo Of
note, or Marquis De Hoyos suggests,
as in our dispatches of yesterday morn
ing. that Spain would rather go to war
with the United States than pay for the
Maine, and in such an event the south
ern states would rise in revolt, he was
no doubt sincere, but the Spanish peo-
pie believe such a thing possible. Other
mobiles threaten letters Of marQue to
privateers to pray upon American COM
merce and like boyish prattle.

no state has right to enact legislation

WILL NOT BE SATISFACTORY.

The move to have the Republican CEN
trail committee, at its meeting on next
Saturday select the delegates for the
etate and congressional conventions or
10 authorize candidates to do so, is ILL
advised. The convention for this pur-
pose should be called. 1t can with pro-
priety authorize the candidates to rec
ommend certain persons for delegates,
but the central committee would not
have the right to do so. The matter
being submitted to Mr. Stanley through
an informal suggestion, he said he did
rot wish to appear to be offering sug-
sestions to the central committee as to
its duties in the premises, but he
thought it was the province Of the con-
Nention to dictate the manner Of the
selection Of the delegates and that the
regular way would be the proper way.

SHOW SOME DISQUIETUDE,
Action Of the Spanish Fleet at Cape
Verde Causes Some Uneasiness at
Washington.

wi
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The naval
officials have noted with some disqui.
etude, the fact that the Spanish fleet at
Cape Verde, before leaving under or
ders from the Portuguese government,
made heavy purchases Of supplies
there. These were of the most varied
description, such as medicine and mis-.
cellaneous goods for which in ordinary
times the fleet could as easily have
waited until it reached a Spanish port.
Therefore i! is suspected tina, the pur.
chasts show a purpose on tho part of
the Spanish admiral to start on a long
cruise. A rather startling suggestion
pade in this connection is that the
Spanish feet may make directly for the
Philippines, by way Of the cape Of Good
Hope, to attack Commodore Dewey's
Asiatic% squadron, which it would far
exceed in strength. The Suez canal be.
ing closed under neutral laws to war.
ships Of belligerents. there would be
nothing to do in this case. but send
some Of Admiral SIMPSONS ships on a
long stern chase after the Spanish fleet.
or to instruct Admiral Dewey to repair
to home waters.

SCOTCH CONCERT A SUCCESS.

In Warner Hall Last Evening to an Enthu-
siastic Audience-Dancing of Alec Giles
pie Special Feature-Recitlng of John
Japp Encored Several Times.
The eleventh annual concert under the
auspices of Clan Mcleod was held in War
ner hall last evening. There was a good,
appreciative audience. The numbers on the
programme included songs by the Amphion
Miss Edith NJ Beers, Messrs. Z. D. Jones,
and Wallace Moye. The singing of Mrs.
Haesche is too well known to require more
than mention. In common with Miss Beers
she has a complete mastery Of the Scots
dialect. The latter young lady has a very
rich contralto voice of great power. and
with q little more experience will vet be
heard Of further afleld.
Mr. Jones sang his two songs very taste
fully. Mr.. Wallace Moyle was, as usual
hearty encore he received.
Mr.. John Japp, the dramatic reader, was
in specially fine form. His rendition of
Cowans "Becalmed," held in the audience
with much appreciation Sims "The Road
to Heaven" Mr.. Japp's second number,
.Humbugging Guide" showed the reciter
in his happiest mood and in response to a
well deserved recall delivered After Din
ner Oratory."
A special feature, and an all too rare one
in this country, was the step dancing of
Mr.. Alec Gillespie. "Alec's'' first essay was
the sailors Hornpipe," and very smartly
did he trip the light fantastic. He had to
respond to a hearty recall His second num-
Der was the Irish Jig" and it proved even
more popular that the previous. He is a
neat clean dancer, and deserved the sue
cess. Needless to say, both dances were in
character.
Fichtl's orchestra led by Louis Felsburg,
| pleased the audience down to the ground
with its selections.
! After the concert dancing was engaged
