slowly filed through the governors rooms

NAMING A SUCCESSOR
TO SENATOR DAVIS.
Much Interest Being Taken in the
Possible Action of Gov. Lind,
of Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Nov. So-Much inter-
est is taken in the choice of a successor
10 Senator Davis. and the action of Gov
Lind to NIL the vacancy until the legis-
iafure meets Is expected to have an I'M
portant bearing on the result. II Gov.
Lind appoints Democrat the matter will
be very simple. for then the Republicans
can fight 1t out without anyone having an
advantage. However. IL the governor. who
was until four years ago a leading Re-
publican, should appoint Republican to
fill the vacancy, with the idea that the
term Is SO short that 1t would serve no
party end to name a Democrat. the Re-
publican legislators anticipate that such
an appointment might stir up party strife.
The Republican majority on joint ballot
Is over &c. so that the fight Is within the
party ranks.
The present proposal is that when the
caucus meets the long term for the sue
cession to Senator Nelson shall be dis
posed of finally before the vacancy is
considered In view Of the strong indorse-
ment by the. state and legislative conven-
tion given for Nelson's reelection, 1t Is
probable that this will be done.

instead. he arose In his place. and with
out waiting 10 sound public opinion, de-
nounced In scathing language those who
sought to set the constitution and the
laws Of the United States at defiance:
advised men what course they as citizens
should pursue. and announced that he
would advocate upholding the law what
ever the political consequences might be-
II was the masterfui speech of brave
statesman and formed the keynote of
the fight made by the government to
strike down the red hand of anarchy
That speech fixed Senator Davis status
ms man OF courage and ability His
constituents had aroused a sleeping lion,
and the people of Minnesota and the coun-
try generally have since admired him all
the more.
Senator Davis was careless of physical
exercise and took but little. He rode to
the capitol and home again almost every
day in a shabby hack" from street
stand, and was almost always In his COM
mittee room hard at work before the
employees Of the building had reached
their posts OF duty. Ninc o'clock was no
unusual hour for him to be at his desk
and he rarely left the capitoi until near
dinner time, whether the senate was in
session or not. He iuncned there, and
when not at his committee room desk
or listening to debates could usually be
found In the cloak room, smoking and
telling stories.
His Voice Failed.
When Mr. Davis first came to the SEN
ate he was rated as an orator. But his
voice failed him about that time and he
did not add to his reputation as a public
speaker during the thirteen years OF serv-
ice In Washington He aged greatly in
that time and grew year ny year to re-
semble more clearly the late Benjamin
r. Butler. resemblance always clearly
marked. The two men were much alike
In figure and each had a bald head. stray
Cling mustache and peculiarly dropping
eyelids. As Mr.. Davis grew older his
bald spot grew bigger. MS lids dropped
more. and his figure filled out. until ne
became widely known IN late years as
Ben Buffers double"
Mr.. Davis will probably be succeeded as
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations by either Senator Frye. of
Maine: Senator Cullom, OF Illinois, or
Senator Lodge. OF Massachusetts, most
likely the last named. Mr.. Frye declined
the place when Mr.. Davis got It, as he
preferred to retain the Craftsmanship Of
commerce. Mr.. Cu|lom, who is next to
Mr.. Frye In line Of promotion, may not
want TO give up his Craftsmanship of the
important committee on Interstate COM
merce. Mr.. Lodge. who II third in the
list win succeed to the vacancy II
Messrs. Frye and culiom decline It, as
II In thought they will.

w. r. Gay. United States attorney. has
issued warrants for a number Of express
men accused of interfering with the mail
wagons. and these warrants are now in
the marshal's hands. The men will not
be held, but will be warned to appear at
a certain time before the court in order
that the matter may be Investigated, and
II any guilt exists punishment melted out
This step is the result of frequent inter-
ference with mail wagons at the trains
and steamers by expressmen and cab
men. few days ago one OF the mail
wagon drivers was compelled to walt
the pleasure Of truck driver, and as the
trouble has been growing steadily for a
number of months the authorities have
decided to put stop to It, There Is
city ordinance regulating hotel rum
ners and drivers. but 1t has been allowed
to fall into disregard.
Il regret that / am forced to take this
action said Mr.. Gay last evening, but
the condition OF affairs at the depots in
this town Is such that some change must
be made. A man can get of the train in
most cities without having to fight his
way through a bedlam of cab drivers and
hotel runners but here visitor leaving

lies, OF course. with the city authorities,
