The Law of Succession.

The law applicable to the Vice.
Presidency was enacted January 10.
1886. by the Forty ninth Congress,
first session. The mai feathers are
as follows:
; "Be ii enacted, cts, that i'm case
OF the removal, death, resignation
or inability OF both President and
Nice resident of the United States,
the Secretary of State, or y
Secretary of War. or At
torney General, or Psol-
master General or, y Sec
retary Of the Navy, or Sec
retary of the Interior shall act as
President until the disability Of the
the President or Vice. President is
removed, or President shall be
elected"
The law further provides that
when one of the cabinet officers sue
ceeds to the Presidency, he shall
Call special session of CongI esq,
A proviso limits the succession to
those who would be eligible to the
Presidency under the terms of the
constitution, and who have been
appointed with the aduice and consent
of the Senate
The object of the law is not to pro
yide a succession of thu Vice-Presi-
dency but merely to insure sue
cesion to the ''residency. By the
death OF MIR Hobart. Senator Will
ann z. Fry. of Maine, becomes
Preside Mt pro tempore OF the Senate
and will discharge all the duties OF
the Vice President as presiding cffi-
Ger of that body. The Senate rules
especially provide that no election is
necessary at the beginning of a sess
ion. Senator Fry will, accordingly,
continue as presiding officer till the
end of President McKinley's admin
istaation, until he chooses to resign
or the Senate wishes to elect
another.

= mother Beef Scandal.

1t ems tn at orr British cous-
ius are having trouble over the
beef furnished their soldiers, Just
as we had during the Spanish war.
A London paper prints "a letter
from a correspondent on board the
transport st. Vincent, which was
bearing sixteen hundred soldiers
to South Africa. Here is an
extract:
"Today every soldier of the 1000
on board complained to the officers
OF their companies that their din
ners OF salted beef were pucrid.
Colonel Paget, with the doctors
and quartermasters, inspected the
messes and condemned the foul
carriOn as being unfit tor human
food. Sixteen men are allo wed
twelve pounds. The meat is sup.
posed to be put up in twelve pound
tins. Many of these on being
weighed were found to be nine
pounds short.
"Fancy sixteen hungry men
sharing three pounds of meet, in
Guiding Internal great brisket
bones. Whole rations were thrown
overheard"
We arc not told where this meat
came from or who is res ponsibIe
for fnrnithing such vile stuff TO the
soldiers. No doubt the British
government will institute rigid
investigation and discover the
guilty parties. If any American
packer furnished the meet, it Is
safe to assume that he will sell no
more meet tc the British govern
ment.-Lynchburg News.

HOUSE GOES TO DEwEY'S SON
The Transfer Made Yesterday by
Mrs. Dewey.

Mrs Dewey.
Washington, Nov. 2I.-George
Goodwin Dewey, Admiral Deweys
only son, is now the owner of the
residence presented to the admiral
by the American people people
Papers were prepared and signed
early today by which Mrs. Mildred
Mclean Dewey transfers all rights
and titles to the property known as
1747 Rhode Island avenue, this
city, TO George Goodwin Dewey
This is the property which yes
terday Admiral Dewey transferred
to Mrs. Dewey.
The papes making the new
transfer probably will be placed on
file tomorrow morning.
In explanation of the transaction
practically completed today, rel
atlve OF the Dewey family made
the following statement to the
Associated Press:
"Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have
transferred to the formers son.
George Good Twin Dewey, the title
OF the home presented to the ad-
mlral by the people of this coun-
try. Ii VIII continue to be the
home of the Admiral and Mrs
Dewey 50 long as he may live.
"It may be desirable now to sly
that 1t was tue wish Of both he
Admiral and Mis- Dewey to 70.
vide for proper succession OF the
property. The lrans.,r oil today
completes the transaction braun
yesterday, and is the car,Ils out
only of the original intention of
both the Admiral a.d Mrs. Dewey.
BY all those Interested IN the IN t.
ter, the method of transfer en-
piOy Ell Oy Admiral Dewey was
considered the best and safest mat
could have been adopted. 1t IS TO
be considered, naturally. that the
transfer was to be the act of Mrs.
Dewey as well as the Admiral. 1t
was her desire that she should re-
lease any claim she might have TO
the PROPERTY through her marriage
to the Admiral and to do this the
transfer was made through her to
the Admirais son so soon as was
practical. Through the method
adopted, no dispute ever can arise
over the disposition OF the prop
erty.

tigation of the report that in Leo
county young Tate had shot and
Killed Evan Bledsoc, the slayer Of
his father, in pursuance of 20 VOW
to avenge the death of his father.
who was killed by Bledsoe q few
days ago: shows that the report
was mistake. Bledsoe, who was
discharged by the examining mag.
istrate was seen today.
There is no foundation for the
report that the killing of Granville
Fee by ii. S. Jennings was connec-
ted with the Bledsoe matter.
There is no feud growing out of
the shooting Of Tate and no further
trouble is ieered in the county.
Most of the points in Lee county
are remote from telegraphic COM
munIcation aud hence the rumors
that have gotten out.
