MAINE VISITORS.
Continued from page ~

Chairman Allison, of the committee on
appropriations. the most important of
Senate committees.
Some of the Maine delegation will be
seen in Maine, during the holiday va
cation. Probably Gov. Burleigh, Capt.
Boutelle, and Senator Hale will be Wis
itors to their homes in the Pine Tree
State. Representative Littlefield will
go back to Rockland to bring his family
on with him. Senator and Mrs. Frye
will remain in Washington till Con-
gress again assemblies. They rarely
return to Maine during this period,
although they sometimes take a brief
journey over to Philadelphia or New
York.
Hon. Joseph H. Manley Of Augusta
was a prominent figure here all of last
week, when the sessions of the National
Committee Of the Republican party
were on. He has been connected with
the committee since 1876, and has been
a member of it since 1884, u years.
Mr.. Manley was very ardent advocate
before the committee OF the plan pro-
posed by Committeeman Payne OF
Wisconsin, for re-apportionment OF
Committee.
Representative LIQUIDS announcement
here, last week, that he does not in
tend to push a bill. this winter, aiming
at the restriction Of second class mail
matter. was interesting news to the
members of the Maine delegation. Mr.
Loud's bill. which was introduced at
the last session of Congress. but de-
feated, concerns the publishing houses
in the kennebec valley. He regards ii
as futile to undertake the passage OF
the bill, If Democrats are to be arrayed
solidly against IT, He also says that
he should be inclined to await the re
port of the committee that is investi-
eating the rates paid railroads for
transporting mail matter, before taking
any action about mail legislation.
Nevertheless, ii Is not impossible that
some other member Of the House Will
take the matter up this winter, and
seek some legislation. It may be I'M
dertaken in the Senate. II is too early
to speak definitely about that.

The appointment of former Senator
governor of Nebraska, upon the death
Of Senator Hayward, has created new
phrase to the much discussed question
of Senate vacancies. 1t is held that as
Mr.. Hayward had not qualified and was
therefore not senator at the time of
his death. the status of his seat is con-
sequently the same as if he had never
been elacted, and thus the right to fill
it devolves upon the Nebraska LeEis-
lature and not upon the governor. This
adds another complication to the
numerous ones that surround the va
cancies in the Senate. When that body
met. this month. there were several
seats vacant owing to the failure of the
state Legislatures to elect For one
seat in Pennsylvania there was a GER
tificate of appointment by Governor
Stone presented, and there are vacan-
cies in California, Delaware. and Ore
Ron awaiting the decision on the gov
ernor's power of appointment. which is
to be made in the Quay case. The
matter of senatorial vacancies has long
been a troubled one, and it is hoped q
permanent solution of the problem
may be made at this session of Con-
gress The intent of the constitution in
such cases is not plain.
