MAY BECOME SENATORS,
Perry 8. Heath and George ID. MeiLIe-
john Interesting Probabilities.

john Interesting Probabilities.
Two prominent young officials of the ad
ministration, according to the opinion of
some cabinet officers, may wear senatorial
togas as the result of the recent elections
in their respective states. These are Perry
S. Heath, assistant postmaster general, and
George D. Meiklejohn, assistant secretary
Of war. Both stand high with the highest
officials of the administration and have the
best wishes of a host of influential friends.
1t is understood that Mr.. Heath is re-
ceiving many letters from Indiana asking
him to become a candidate for the Senate
to succeed Senator Turpie. He has given
no definite answer to these requests. 1t
is pointed out by friends of Mr. Heath here
that several weeks before the election the
republicans in Indiana were in bad shape
and there was a general demand for the
services of Mr. Heath aiding the conduct of
the campaign. Mr.. Heath responded to the
call. and from his entrance into the cam
paign there was lively air to the situa-
ton which promised success to the republi-
cans. Only one thing against Mr.. Heath 8
chances is that there are a number Of
avowed candidates who have been in the
field for months.
Mr.. Meiklejohn was offered the republi-
can gubernatorial nomination in Nebraska,
but declined because of the great amount
of work in the War Department The
country was then at war with Spain and
the services of no man could be spared at
tempting one to Mr.. Meiklejohn, who saw
opportunity to win, but he could not be
induced to desert his post So soon as pos
sible after the close of the war Mr.. Mel
klejohn went to Nebraska and his stump
ing was SO effective as to call forth pro-
tests from the silver men against his TAX
ing part In the campaign. Senator Thurs
ton is warm friend of Mr.. Meiklejohn.

THE CRUISER CHICAGO.
She Will BE Put in Commit ission on
the First PrOximO

Complete arrangements have been made
to put the cruiser Chicago in commission
at New York on the 1st proximo. Her
complement of officers was announced to-
Gay. The list includes almost entirely the
officers who have served on the Vermont

nection with the repair and Quitting of
the Chicago. Captain p. II. Cooper. late
superintendent of the Naval Academy will
have command, and Lieutenant Charles
Colohan will be executive and Lieutenant
w. d. Rose navigating officer The Chi
cago was built at the Roach ship yard in
Chester, and is enc of the pioneers of the
new navy. She has been out of commits
sion for nearly three years, during which
time she has undergone almost a complete
transformation, with the result that she
is now one of the most formidab BILE vessels
of the American navy. Her speed has been
n materially increased, and her armor and
armament greatly strengthened. Although
not settled, 1t is possible that she may be
attached to the feet which Admiral Schley
is to take to Europe. The Chicago was

The restrictions imposed BY the opera
ticns of the federal quarantine line be-
yond which cattle were not allowed to be
shipped north ceased on the 18th of the
present month. The establishment of this
line or boundary annually is made neces-
sary by the existence of Texas fever in
fection among the cattle, but, as there is
no danger OF its spreading in the north in
cold weather. the restrictions usually are
removed about this time of the year. New
regulations having the same object in view
however. soon will be prepared by the
Agricultural Department officials and prob
ably will be put into effect on the 1st of
January. In former years the department
deferred the issuance of the regulations un-

the lst of February, but experience has
demonstrated the desirability of advancing
