Fire broke out in the old SewelH house
situated on Mill Creek, in Phoebus, at
1890 O'Clock last night. The fire Ne
partment responded to the alarm, but
the house was not adjacent to water

1880 O'Clock this morning the building
was enveloped in flames A 'bsicloet br-
gade wes formed, but the men could not
check the fire and the house, which is
valued at $1,000, will be totally destroy

AN ISOLATED NAVAL POST.
Capt. KempH May Be Made Military
Governor of Guam

Secretary Long has practically decided
to assign Capt Kempff to the command Of
the United States naval station to be es-
tablished at San Luis d Apra. Island #
Guam. which will make Capt. Kempn mill
tary governor of the island.
Capt. Kempff is the senior officer OF the
naval list and will soon become com
modore. His duties will be unique for an
officer of the American navy. Guam is
not connected with the cutter world by
telegraph. and is seldom visited by yes
sells. The military governor and his gar
riscn must depend on themselves for their
amuse@snts. The garrison win consis.
OF marines who will be permitted to take
thei- families with them.
Naval officers have expressed much IN
terest in Guam since it was decided to
establish a naval station there, and they
were greatly gratitied over the decis on
to have the commandant OF the station
act as military governor OF the island.
While there has been no rush of appiica-
tions for assignment to the command OF
the station, not a few officers would Lave
been pleased to receive the dstail
What it lacks In the things that are re-
garded as necessities of living in thickly
inhabited parts of the world, this remote
ways. Some naval officers think that life
will be very pleasant and healthfuI in
Guam. Its people are peaceably inclined
and Industrious, and there are not enough
Spaniards left to make any unpleasantness
for the newcomers.
For man of studious tastes, the island
is regarded as an ideal place. with nothing
to distr-b the mind. Some naval officers
would not object to going there because
they can save money, something which
they have not been able TO do on other for
etgn stations where the demands on ones
private purse are incessant-
Capt. Kempff Will have with him num-
Der of officers. some OF whom may bring
their families. and he will not be entirely
without means of communicating with the
outside world If the occasion demands. as

auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, which left

AVERAGE TERMS OF SENATORS.
Mr.. MorriIrs Long Service Calls At
ton TO Curious Facts.

The recent death of Senator Morrill,
serves TO call attention to the fact that
Vermont has had only three different SEN
ators in the upper House of Congress
since 1867. a term Of more than thirty
years, and to further emphasize the un-
Willingness CT all New England To change
their delegations in Congress oftener than
they are compelled to do so. Maine is the
most conspicuous evidence of this, all but
one of her present force having been con-
tinuousiy in Congress for from twelve TO
twenty cdd years.
But this policy is a somewhat new one
for New England, having grown UP since
the civil war. In the old slavery days it
was rather the South that was conssrva-
tive and hesitated to make changes. OF
the thirteen original States New Hamp-
shire has had forty-one senators, Massa-
chusetts thirty-seyen, Rhode Island thir-
ty-four and Connecticut thirty-four, while
North Carolina has had thirty-oue. South
Carolina thirty-six. Georgia thirty-seven
and Virginia thirty eight, making 1i6 for
four Northern States and 142 for four
Southern States New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania have had forty-two.
thirty-seven and thirty-five. respectively
higher average than any other section.
Kentucky and Vermont were admitted in
1871, and they changed the proportion be-
tween the two sections, Kentucky having
thirty-iive senator's. while Vermont had
but twenty-six, but it was soon changed
back by later admissions and remained so
for long time.
II another method is adopted, and it is
aseertained how long the senator's from
any given State have served on the aver
age curious state of things is developed
Nevada holds the palm for long service.
She has had only five senator's since she
was admitted. in 1868. and they have
served an average of fourteen years each
California, New Hampshire and New York
tie for the shortest average having al
lowed their senator's only about five years
each. =,
Other States averages are as follows:
Iowa and Wisconsin. nine each; Texas.
Vermont Alabama Arkansas. Florida.
Kansas and Maine. eight each. Delaware.
Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan.
Missouri, and North Carolina. seven each;
Colorado. Connecticut. Georgia, Kentucky.

STATUS OF A GOVERNOR.
New Jersey Wants to Know if IT lin
Bona Eide Executive.

New Jersey Wants to Know if II llaa
81 Bona Eide Executive.
Trenton, Dec. 29.-The Supreme Court
whether or not acting Gov. David O. Wat
kins is entitled to the executive office. 1t
is expected that the decision will not be
unfavorable to the acting governor, al
though it has been intimated that the Su-
preme Court, in passing upon the writs of
certiorari and habeas corpus taken out
with view of saving Murderer Clifford, of
Hudson County from the gallows, may
avoid decision on the question as to
whether David o. Watkins or Foster NJ
Voorhees, is the present acting governor.
This could be done, ii is said, by the
court in sustaining the other point made
by the condemned murderers lawyers, that
the issuing of a death warrant, except in
connection with a reprieve is entirely out
side of the executive function. This action
on the part of the court would send Cliff
ford back to the Hudson court to be re-
sentenced. and would make it unnecessary
to decide whether Mr.. Watkins was or was
not acting governor when he signed the
warrant for Clifford's death. There is con-
siderable interest centered in the Supreme
Courts action tomorrow.
But aside from the matter now pending
peIoie the supreme court, tnere is another
question that has not yet been decided in
relation to the States executive. The
complications which have arisen in New
Jersey in the past few months because of
the States rapid change of governors have
been very puzzling.
The point with which the acting gov
ernor and the attorney general are now
struggling is whether or not the former
win take any part in the organization OF
the house at the opening of the legislature
There is serious question as to whether
or not Mr.. Watkins, as acting governor,
can act as speaker of the house of assem-
bly,. Upon the attorney generals decision
will depend the acting governors action
regarding participation in the house pro-
ceedings until after Governor elect Voor-
hees is inaugurated

A GERMAN VIEW OF THE WAR.
Admiral Pluddenmann Says II Gave
Science Dut L:tuie Aid.


The bureau of naval intelligence os
which Commander Richardson Glover is
chief. published yesterday pamphlet from
Comments of Rear Admiral Pluddemann.
German Navy. on the Main Features of the
War With SPAIN
Admiral Pluddemann is not very compli-
mentary to either American or Spanish
naval science, and believes that the war
taught little of value. In reviewing the
naval battles of the war, Admiral Pludde-
mann says:
The American material has demonstrated not
only its efficacy, but also its durability. as
only four guns in need of repairs at the
end of the war in all OF which proieetiles had
been burst in the bore. This fact. taken in con
nection with other frequent failures of fuses,
shows that the construction OF the fuse in
America is still far from perfect.
In Admiral Pluddemann's opinion no
new lesson was learned from the establish
ment of bloekades and from cruises in
warfare. Commenting on the landing of
the American army at Siboney and Bal
quiri, he criticises the Spaniards for not
attempting to repulse the Americans al
those places.
