atOrial Vacancy.

Democrats of Kent county held a
big rally and mass meeting at Bowers
Beach Thursday.
About 5000 of the faithful from
Kent county, many from Sussex and
some from New Castle gathered at the
famous old seaside resort. Tie meet
ing was made up principally of farmers
who came many miles in teams. II
was under the auspices of the Kent
County Executive Committee, and was
IN the words of the call, ''to give the
local county organizations an oppor-
tunlty to meet and confer when no cleo
ton is impending and when plans and
purposes can be dispassionately dis
cussed."
In the afternoon there was speech
making, G. L. Hardesty presiding.
Addresses were made by United States
Senator Kenney, Attorney General r.
II. White, County Chairman John d.
Hawkins, who is grooming for the
nomination for Attorney General Alex
ander nj. DAILY, of Dover, who wants
the nomination for Congress; John F.
Salisbury, who is nursing a little SEN
torlal boom and 7. G. Burton. The
speakers attacked trusts and imperial
ism. The silver question was not dis
cussed, neither was Colonel Bryan.
The meeting was designed, it is said,
to aid the fight of Senatar Kenney for
reelection. Mr.. Kenney was chosen
as Bryan man, but he is now quiet
on silver, awaiting developments, and
Colonel Bryan has recognized former
Congressman L. 1. Handy as the
leader of his forces here to the discom-
future of the Kenney men.

Over Public Building Bills.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. S.-The
senate confined itself largely 20 the
transaction OF routine business to-day.
The indian appropriation bill which has
been pending FOR several weeks, was
completed and passed. The legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
was taken Up. but after twenty-four
pages OF 1t had been disposed of. II was
laid aside for the day A few measures
OF minor Importance were passed.
The net result OF the work during the
two days allotted for the consideration
OF public buildings In the house was the
passage OF single bill providing for
the erection OF building at Newport
News, Va, NJ cost of $4,000. Sixty
five bills In all. carrying or authorizing
the expenditure OF about 81. 900. 600 were
favorably considered In committee OF
the whole when the committee rose to-
day, but because seventeen other bills
reported had not been acted upon In

sorted to and all efforts 10 advance the
bills favorably acted upon In committee
were blocked.
The second bill appropriating $4,000
for 4 building at Blair City, Neb.. got as

prevented II from being placed upon Its
passage. The previous question had
been ordered on the Altoona. Pa. bill,
carrying $4,000. when the house ad-
lourned, so that 1t will be the unfinished
business tomorrow.

already been obtained for another day
