| since the republicans outnumbered The
democrats two to one in the senate
Another thing worthy of mention is
| the fact that in three successive con-
gressfonal elections, 1894, 1896 aad
1898, the people have given the repub-
icans majority in the national house
of representatives Three successive
| republican victories of this substan-
tial character have greatly strength
ened that party, and this last victory
makes it possible for the administra-
ton to carry out the pledges made to
the people; pledges which could not be
fulfilled heretofore for lack of MAORI
ties in both branches of congress, and
because of the intervening period of
war
1t is expected that senate and house
of Representatives will sustain the adj
ministration with substantial unanim-
ity. 1t is also expected that the next
house of representatives will elect a
speaker who will be in harmony with
the administrator. The present IN
cumbent of that position, Mr.. Reed.
has been opposed to every
movement of the administra-
during the past two years
His phrase. Empire can wait" has
been quoted extensively as expressing
his opposition to the policy of expan-
sion. It is anticipated that he will,
during the coming short session of
congress. oppose the policy of the adj
ministration. In that event. it may be
said advisedly that his future course
will prove to be thorny one, because
their will be substantial retaliation
melted out to him. 1t is not true that
the administration has already deter
mined to oppose the reelection of
Speaker Reed, but it is true the ad-
ministration will desire the election of
a speaker who will be in harmony with
the executive branch of the govern
ment. It will remain for Mr.. Reed to
determine whether or not he shall be
the man whom the administration will
be disposed to favor.
It is a significant fact, which Presi-
dent Mckinley has not overlooked,
that Speaker Reed sullenly declined to
make any speeches during the recent
campaign outside of his own state. He
would do nothing to aid the congress
sional committee, because he seemed
to realize that republican victory
would be construed as an Endorsement
of the administration. This fact is
also kept well in mind by Senator
Platt Of New York, who urged Speaker
Reed to come to the aid of Roosevelt
and the congressional candidates. This
fact is we'll known. 1t is understood
in higher political circles, but it is not
positively verified, that Senator Quay
also desired Speaker Reed to come into
Pennsylvania and make some speeches.

Nassau, Nov. 12.-The British admir-
atty authorities here are going to take
possession of the Maria Teresa as a
derelict. The American consul has
protested against this course, claiming
everything less salvage. The steam
er Antilla has left here for Cat island
with customs officers and police on
board. Opinions differ as to the chance
Of saving the cruiser. Although she
has been aground since Thursday, the
Teresa rests in an easy position and
the weather is moderate.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE officials
of the navy department are interested
in the news from Nassau Identifying
clearly the steamship lying off Cat ISL
and as the Maria Teresa. The legal
status of the vessel has been consld-
cred cursorily, and in the opinion Of
the department the title of the United
States is unimpaired, notwithstanding
she was abandoned for the time being
There may be a question involved as
10 the payment of salvage to the Ba-
hama fishermen, but that depends in
large measure on what they have
done. If they have simply been loot
ing the vessel then they are only not
entitled to salvage, but the goods
stolen may be recovered. On the
other hand if it was the fishermen
who anchored the ship in smooth
water, and if they made
any endeavor to bring her H.
probably they would have cool claim
for salvage. From the account re-
ceiyed, it is feared that the damage to
the vessel sustained through the storm
and probably pounding upon the coral
reefs outlying Cat island, added to the
wounds received by the ship in action
when she sunk originally, are suf-
ticient to render her entirely valueless.
Nothing but an expert examination
can determine this point. The navy
department. has decided that a court
of inquiry shall be held to determine
whether the abandonment of the
Teresa at sea was justifiable, and if
not, who is responsible.
