PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
Three Times During the Past lS Year.
There Have Beon Three Vacancies
in the Vice Presidency.

Washington, Nov 14.--The announce
ment that Vice President Hobart will
not return to his official duties in
Washington assures vacancy in the
presiding chair OF the senate for the
third time in about IS years. The
two other instances were the promo
ton Of Chester A. Arthur to the presi'
dency, through the death of Gen.
James A. Garfield, and the death OF
Vice President Hendricks, of Indiana,
during President Cleveland's first term.
The choice of president pro tempore
was put to a vote, following the promo
tion Of Vice President Arthur, the first
day Of the special session-0ctober TO-
1ssl-and resulted in the selection OF
Senator Thomas F. Bayard, Of Della
ware. The senate was then about
evenly divided, and Vice President
Arthur had frequently been casting
the deciding vote between the two par
ties. In the few days that followed
the republicans secured the co-opera-
tion Of Senator Malone, of Virginia,
and on October 13 Senator Logan, OF
Illinois, presented the name of Senator
David Davis, of the same state, to be
president pro tempore. Senator Davis
was elected with the aid of Senator
Mahone's vote and Senator Bayard was
displaced.
On the death OF Vice President Hen
bricks Senator John Sherman was cho-

STATEMENT BY BRYAN.
The Presidential Candidate elves His Viewi
on the General Results OF the Re-
cant Election,

Lincoln, Neb,, Nov. 13.-After re-
fusing a number Of times to make any
comment on the results OF elections in
other states than his own w. j. Bryan,
under pressure Of personal and political
friends and New York newspapers fa'
vorable to him, gave out an extended
statement Saturday night on the gem
eral results. Mr.. Bryan claims to be
well satisfied with the Tuesday verdict
as indicating a marked movement on
the part Of the voters toward the Chi
cago platform. He says in part:
Taken as whole the election returns from
all the states give encouragement to those VINO
hope for the overthrow OF the republican party
IN 1000. IL is evident that those VINO believed in
the Chicago platform In 1875 still believe In It.
II is also evident that the hostility to the Chi
cago platform among those who opposed II Is
not as pronounced as It was In 1898 1t Is APP
parent also that there is u growing hostility to
the monopolies which have grown up under Z
republican administration 1t is safe TO say
that the American people would by large
majority, prom ounce against the attempt U
raise tho standing army TO 10000, and IL Il
equally certain that upon adirect vote upon th'
issue large majority Of the people would pro-
nounoe against an imperiallstic policy whlcl
would develop here colonial system attel
the pattern OF European governments We
made considerable gain this year among th'
foreign born voters on the questions OF mill
tarism and imperialism, and | am satisheC
that the gain in 1900 will be far greater II th'
administration pursues Its present policy o.
! these questions. 49,
