MAINE VICTIMS EXHUMED.
They VIII Be Brought Home on the
Battle Ship Texas.

A special to the New York Herald from
Havana, Cuba. yesterday says: The graves
of the Maine victims in Columbus ceIne-
terry were opened this morning at sunrise.
A half dozen stalwart blacks, professional
grave diggers, began with pick and shovel.
Father Chadwick followed the work The
exhumation was made under the super
vision of Richard Marin, an undertaken who
recovered the bodies from the waters in
Havana harbor at the time the Maine was
destroyed. A small group of Americans
witnessed the disinterment. Anticipating
the opening of graves many flowers which
had been placed there had been removed
A plain black wooden cross which marked
the resting place of the sailors, and which
bore simple Inscription to the effect that
they We're victims of the Maine was I'M
dermined while the men We're at work and
began to fall
Father Chadwick noticed this and called
to the grave diggers. Three of them
grasped it and saved the cross from falling
Ii was carefully removed BY Father Child
wiCks direction it will be taken north as a
permanent memorial. After two hours
work the Craze diggers uncovered sevaral
collins. These were in good state of pres
ervatiou.
Father Chadwick had list. supplied by
Capt. Sigsbee, and in this way the iden-
tihcations were made According to the
burial location. the first coffin taken out
was that of Fireman Joseph Seery. which
was in the second grave. After this were
Firemen Patrick Gaffney and owen Sheri-
dan. Then were eXhumed from the first
grave the collins of Drummer John H DER
KING and Chief Yeornan James A. Graham
Next were taken. out the collins contain
ing the bodies of the unidentified sailors
Forty-one exhuma lions were made during
the day. The bodies were transferred from
the coffirs to caskets, in which they will
be conveyed north. The caskets have plates
giving the names Of the sailors Identified.
Some curiosity seekers visited the Gene
terry. but generally the visitors came with
some token of respect. and the grave dig
gers proceeded with their work unmoIested
The baskets We're placed in the shelter of
the chapel in the cemetery and will remain
there until the exhumation is completed
They will then be taken to the battle ship
Texas.
Bishop Santander had given permission
to hold religious exercises. but it was con-
sicered best not to hold them. The exhu-
nation will be completed on Wednesday af-
ternoon. and the Texas will sail north be-
fore daylight Thursday morning
Capt. Sigsbee said this evening that il
would be impracticable to grant the request
OF the Key West citizens that the Texas
stop there during the dedication of the
monument to the Maine victims who are
buried in Key West. No stops will be made
on the voyage north.

toried at S-ti'sU

ply Company was bogus concern. Gre
ated by persons interested in the Kalama-
zoo company only for the alleged sale.
1t is also stated that at the meeting at
which the board decided to sell the goods in

izing the Guartermaster general to purchase
an equipment of precisely the same class,
and that this was done at a cost of over

CASE OF MIR. QUAY.
A Minority of the Committee Thought
to Ee Against Him.

The consideration of the Quay case by
the Senate privileges and elections COM
mittee on the arguments submitted Satur-
day will be begun the first Friday in
January The arguments made on Satur-
day will then be discussed by the COM
mittee and it Is probable that vote will
be had at that session of the committee.
The features of the case are already thor
oughly understood by the committee, and,
therefore, there will be no special occasion
for delay
1t is already known that a majority Of
the committee take the view that the gov
ernor of a state has not the right to fill
vacancy in the Senate which existed while
the state legislature was in session and
which the legislature failed to fill. There
fore, 1t is a certain assumption that the
majority report will be adverse to the seat
ing of Mr.. Quay The only question APP
pears to be as to how many members of
the committee will join in a minority re-
port taking contrary view of the case.
The opinion is becoming very general that
Mr.. Quay's friends will not press the ques-
ton to a vote in the Senate after the COM
mittee has made a report adverse to his
claim, since it is regarded as certain that
a majority of the Senate would vote against
his being seated.
