THINKS QUAY WILL Be SEATED
SENATOR sHoUP's OPINION OF
GOVERNORS APPOINTMENT.
The Large Republican Majority Will
Be Sufficient to Land the Penn
slvanian In His Seat.

Boise, Ida, May Ex-senator Shoup
has returned from Lemhi county. He
was asked today what his attitude was
respecting the seating of Quay on the
governors appointment. He said he
was not prepared 20 announce what he
would do. but it was his opinion that
Quay would be seated.
He based his opinion on the fact that
in the Mantle contest the Republicans
largely voted for seating the applicant.
He did not know how the new men
felt, but it was his opinion that the
large Republican majority would be
sufficient to carry Quay in, if the vote
remained divided anywhere near the
same as before. The Corbett case, he
said, was not criterion, as the sur
rounding conditions were much differ
ent. Seating of Quay, he said, would
carry with it the seating of appointees
from other states.
The senator voted for Mantle and the
others that year whose cases hinged
on the Mantle decision

Hongkong, May 15.-The native oppo-

forces of the new territory, Kow Loon,
opposite Hongkong, has suddenly been
renewed. About 900 men of the Hong
kong regiment, with machine guns, are
leaving here today and tonight, while
the volunteers have been warned to be
in readiness for any emergency. The
British second-clasS gunboat Swift and
three other gunboats are proceeding to
sea under sealed orders. These war
ships have 800 men or board. The ter
ritory back of the Hinterland is also
disturbed, and Chinese troops have been
sent there.
Later-One thousand three hundred
and fifty British infantry soldiers, 100
artillerymen, so engineers and 500 ma

authorities and nothing is definitely
