7 A writer in the New York Sun gives
what he believes to be the true theory
Of the origin Of Welsh rabbits. He
says: "My notion is that melted
cheese, properly seasoned and poured
on toast, is called Welsh rabbit, be-
cause in Wales. whore the people have
cheese in plenty and wild rabbits are
rigidly protected under the game laws,
the Welsh bon vivant substitutes his
homely dish for the four-legged game
animal. In like manner, you know,
some Of our New England friends
facetiously call salt Goldfish and her.

''rejects with soorn" that "rabbit"
used in this connection has been
evolved gradually from "rare-bit."

TAYLOR MAKES A GAIN
On Eighty-Fifth Caucus Vote For Senator
At Nashville.


At Nashville.
A Nashville special says The demo-
cratic caucus took nineteen ballots for
senator Tuesday night with the result
that McMillin lost one, Turley lost
two and Taylor gained three, the
eighty-ffth ballot standing:
McMillin 81, Turley q, Taylor "a.
The Turley and Taylor men voted to
adjourn.
The nightly attempt to create
stampede to Taylor was made by
Representative Thompson, who some
months ago married Colonel Nellie
Ely, Governor Taylor's appointee.
He has been voting for McMillin,
but Tuesday night attempted to break
the deadlock by leading for the hind
most candidate.
The ballot for senator in the legis.
lature during the day was more of a
farce than anything else. The repub-
lican members voted for Colonel Z. j.
Sanford, Of Knoxville, but the demo-
cratic members scattered their vote to
such an extent that nearly ninety men
were voted for for United States sena-

M'C0MAS FINALLY LANDS.
ELECTED U. 8. SENATOR BY MARY.
LAND LEGISLATURES
TO SUCCEED ARTHUR ?. GOUMAN.
Friends OF the Judge Forced the Issue
and Succeeded In Breaking
the Long Deadlock.

Judge Lewis E. McComas was on
Tuesday elected by the Maryland leg
isture United States senator to suo-
coed Arthur P. German. The ballot
upon which he was elected. the first
Of the day, the eighth since the con-
test began, resulted in his getting SO
votes to for Alexander Shaw, of Bal
timore, the only other republican who
remained in the race.
Senator German got At votes, the
full democratic strength in both
houses.
The break to McComas was the result
Of Monday nights caucus, at which
fifty-three members were in attend
ance, and at which Judge McComas
was practically unanimously nomina-
ted. Ten republican delegates from
Baltimore city and Senator Wescott,
of Kent county, however, refused to
take any part in the caucus or to con-
slider themselves bound by it, and up
to the hour of noon, when the ballot
was resumed, no one not il their
counsels knew how they meant to vote,
but it was generally thought they
would stick to Shaw to the end, thereby
creating deadlock.
It was therefore with the most in
tense interest that the balloting was
watched, and when the name of Sena-
tor Westcott was reached and he, af-
ter brief speech, changed his vote
from Shaw to McComas, every one
knew the end was near, and the cheer
ing was tremendous Speaker Shaefer
was the next of the recaltricants to
come into line. Then one by one five
OF his associates in the "bolt" against
the rule of the majority followed his
example. Ex-Congressman Findlay's
only remaining supporter did likewise,
and the vote stood so for McComas to
for Shaw.
Then Delegate jacob changed his
vote, but four others, Messrs. Quasi,
Baldwin, Short and Delacour, all of
Baltimore city, stuck to the Baltimore
city candidate to the last, and went
down with flying colors.

MAINE WELCOMED IN HAVANA,
Our wsrship saluted By Forts and ves-

Our wsrship saiuted By Forts and ves-
| sells In Hnrbor.
A special from Havana says: The
United States battleship Maine, com.
msnded by Charles d. Sigsbee, which
left Key West, Fla, on January Gath,
arrived in the harbor at II o'clock
Tuesday morning and was saluted by
the forts and war vessels.
Shortly after the arrival Of the
Maine Lieutenant Albert E, Drano,
representing the captain of the port,
Vice Admiral Jose Pastor, visited the
United States battleship and extended
the customary courtesies.
The arrival OF tho warship caused
surprise and excited considerable curl
osity.
A naval lieutenant Of the Spanish
cruiser Alfonso XII, the Spanish flag
ship, visited the Maine early in the
afternoon, as did also the officer Of the
German cruiser Gneisenau, the school
ship.
Both visits we're returned by Cap
tain Sigsbee, who at 6 o'clock called
upon Rear Admiral Vicente Monterola
at the admiralty office and upon Vice
Admiral Pastor, after which he had
longconference with Consul General
Lee.
The officers and sailors OF the Maine
will not go ashore at present, in order
TO avoid possible friction.
Captain Sigsbee has expressed him
self as much gratified by the recep-
ton rendered him and the courtesy
and cordially shown.
A report is current that the United
States consul general, Fitzhugh Lee,
and DR.. Congasto, secretary general
OF the government, have had slight
misunderstanding.
After forwarding the bulletin referr-
ing TO the report of slight misunder-
standing between General Fitzhugh
Lee and DR.. Congasto the correspon-
dent Of the Associated Press called on
the consul general and was informed
that nothing unpleasant had happened
at the interview.
Two dispatches were received at the
state department at Washington Tues
day afternoon; one from Consul Cen
eral Lee, saying that the Maine had
arrived at IL o'clock and was received
with customary courtesies, and that
all was quiet in Havana.
The other was from Captain Sigsbee,
and merely gave. the information that
the Maine had arrived.
1t is said at the navy department
that as matters stand there is no call
for further instructions at present to
Captain Sigsbee, who is permitted to
use his own discretion in dealing with
the events of the day, although he has
been enjoired " consult freely with
Consul General Lee, and was also
infinitely instructed before he arrived
at Havana as to the wishes Of the Sec
rotary of the navy.

The report recently submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior covering the
transactions Of the general land Office
for the past year contains some inter-
esting figures. According to this re-.
port the vacant public lands of the
Government aggregate at the present
time the enormous amount Of sol, 343,
953 acres, scattered about over the
States of Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho,
Utah, California, Colorado, Oregon,
North Dakota and Washington. Each
year the Government disposes of large
tracts of land to private individuals
and railway corporations, but on ac-
count Of the vast area Of territory COW
crod by the Goyssnment's unoccupied
domain, it will probably be many years
before this area is exhausted. As the
sterile and uninviting character of
some OF the land renders it unfit for
use or habitation, it is more than
likely that purchasers will not be
found to relieve the Government Of
this part of its domain. Still the pro-
gress which scientific research is max
ing at the present time gives hope that
even the most forbidding places may
yet be reclaimed to fertility and Guilt
walton. What is known as the reserved
territory of the Government embraces
1872, AL ia acres, and is not subject
to purchase. 1t is reserved for mill
tary and naval purposes, reservoir sites,
timber lands and other needs which
may arise hereafter in the exigepcies
of the Government.
