Lake Charles, La. October 20.-The
Lake Charles board of health have had
their persistent efforts to res tore business
between this point and Texas partially re-
warded. They first telegraphed DR.. Blunt,
Texas health officer, but he was unable to
give the desired relief. They then re-
ferred the matter to Governor Culbsrson
OF Texas and later had Governor Foster tu
take the matter up with Governor Culber-
sou.
Today Dr. Richardson received teie-
gram from DR.. Blunt, which is a splendid
beginning Of better times. for it promises
the movement Of rice and lumber out of
Lake Charles Ii ACCOMPANIED with proper
certificates. This indicates that the end is
drawing near. The business men and Ia
boring men of this city will be rejoced
and before long passenger service 1t is
hoped will be restored.

What a Senatorial Vacancy Is.

The United States constitution says that when vacancy occurs in the rep resentation of state in the United States senate that vacancy shall be filled by the governor of the state if the legislature is not in session. There is no express provision in the constitution for the contingency of a deadlock in a state legislature which results in the adjournment of that body without elect ing a senator. Without such provision there is nothing to do but for the United States senate to establish precedent and follow it. Such precedent was made in the Lee Mantle case in Mon tana and also in the cases of Wyoming and Washington state. The type is the Mantle case. In 1892 the Montana leg islature adjourned without electing 8 senator, although Mantle was one of the regular caucus nominees. The gov ernor of Montana after the adjournment of the legislature appointed him senator. The United States senate decided, how ever, that seat which became empty in consequence of failure of a legislature to elect an incumbent was not vacancy in the meaning of the constitution. They therefore refused to allow Mantle to take his place, and it was not until the legis- lature met in the following winter and elected him regularly that he came to the senate. Until that occurred Montana had only one representative in the upper house.
 Following this example Mir. Corbett of Oregon is not permitted to be a sem ator. One good result it is to be hoped will follow the decision. This is that it may cause legislatures hereafter to at. tend to their business and elect sen ators on time, doing away with the dis graceful deadlocks that have so often marred their proceedings
