Want More Monitors

WASHINGTON. July 2G.-The Navy De-
partment has issued an advertisement
calling for proposals for constructing by
contract four harbor defense monitors
provided for by the Naval Appropriation
bill The bids will be opened Saturday,
October 10. 1t is a matter of regret to the
naval designers that the limit of cost for
these vessels fixed by Congress is so low
as to make it necessary to build the mon
itors of very small tonnage and of lighter
battery power than is desirable in these
advanced days, but the construction bu-
reau has managed to prepare plans that
will after all result In very serviceable
type of harbor defense vessel.

which left this port for Hong Kong and
Yokohama. via Honolulu. carried ex-

her. The Post says that the queen has
been suffering from cancer on the right

months, but deferred medical treatment
until 1t was too late.

SENATORIAL CHANGES.
May Be Many New Faces in the
Upper House of Congress.
TWENTY-FIVE TO BE YET CHOSEN.

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware
and West Virginia Among the States
Whose Legislatures VIII soon Vote
For.United States Senators.
Washington Nov. THE control Of
the United States senate will be deter
mined very largely by the result of to-
morrow's elections, when % states elect
legislatures, which will in turn elect
senators. The present party strength in
the senate is as follows: Republicans
43; Democrats, "a; Populists. g. Silver
Republicans, 6. This gives a majority
to no one party, and it has proved a
fruitful source of doubt in legislation
influenced by party lines.
The terms of 30 of the present sena-
tors are about to expire, and in
most of these cases the legislatures
chosen tomorrow will elect successors.
In seven cases, however, legislatures
already have been chosen and senators
elected, viz: Aldrich of Rhode Island,
Daniel of Virginia, McComas to sue
ceed German in Maryland; Hanna Of
Ohio, Money of Mississippi, Proctor Of
Vermont and the Legislature of Maine,
which has been elected, but has not
yet chosen a senator. In Oregon also
Simon has been elected to fill a va
cancy. These changes already made
give a net gain of two in the Repub-
lican vote McComas of Maryland and
Simon of oregon.
The remaining % senators are yet
to be chosen. Those who are about to
retire are: Allen, Populist, of Ne
braska; Bate, Democrat, Tennessee; F;
Burrows, Republican, Michigan; Can
non, Silver Republican, Utah; Clark,
Republican, Wyoming; Cockrell, Demo-
crat, Missouri; Davis, Republican, Min
nesota; Faulkner, Democrat, West Vir-
ginia; Gray, Democrat, Delaware; Haw-
ley, Republican, Connecticut; Lodge,
Republican, Massachusetts; Mantle,
Silver Republican, Montana Mills,
Democrat, Texas; Mitchell, Democrat,
Wisconsin; Murphy, Democrat, New
York; Pasco Democrat, Florida: Quay,
Republican, Pennsylvania; Roach,
Democrat, North Dakota; Smith, DEM
ocrat, New Jersey; Stewart, Silver Re-
publican, Nevada; Turpie, Democrat,
Indiana; White, Democrat California;
Wilson, Republican, Washington.
In several of these cases the election
of the present incumbents is expected,
but in quite a large number of them
much doubt exists. The Republican
managers are placing reliance on the
fact that they need only a few votes
to assure them clear majority, while
the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans would have to carry most
all of the doubtful legislatures in order
to prevent Republican majority.
The states considered most in doubt
are West Virginia, New York, Penn
| sylvania, North Dakota, New Jersey
| Indiana, California, Washington, Ne
braska, conflicting claims being made
| in each state. Among senate officials
the opinion prevails that the anomalous
condition now prevailing of a senate
without a majority will end with the
coming election and that the legisla'
lures then chosen will give assurance
of majority rule in the upper branch
of congress, after March next.

Gift to the iCatnolic University.

Washington, Nov 1.-THE Catholic

tor, the Right Rev. Thomas j. Conaty,
d. D., was the recipient on Saturday
of a gift of $40, 900 for the establishment
of a fellowship in the faculty of di-
vinlty. The donors are Mary Gwen

orial of their deceased parents and is
independent of the scholarship founded
a few days before by the Marquise dc
