AGAINST !lGk QUAY.
Majority Of Committee Say
Governor Has
NO POWER TO APPOINT
es,ta a-.
When the Legislature Fails
When the Legislature Fails
to Elect a Senator.

Washington, Jan. 23.--The report
of the committee on elections in the
case of NJ. S. Quay was presented to
the senate today. The majority re-
port opposing the seating was signed
by Gallery, Pettus Turley, Harris and
Burrows. The latter was the only
republican signing.
The minority report shows the sig
natures of Hoar, Chandler, Prichard,
McComas, all republicans. The SUBJ
stance of the report of the majority is
that vacancy according to the con-
stitution must occur during recess
of the legislature. If the legislature
by failure to do it's duty leaves a va
cancv at the close of the session, the
governor has no power to appoint a
senator for full term, but only dur
ing the recess.
Minority report talks the opposite
view. Says the failure of the govern
or to call the legislature in session tC
elect a senator, does not deprive eX-
ecutive of the power appointment.

4 CENSUS OF FL0RICULT ULTURE.
Every Florist Should Send for the
Necessary Blanks.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-Ow-
ing to the unusual intelligence of
florists as a class, and the fact that
the statistics of their business which
the Census office requires, relate al.
most entirely to the year 1899, plan
has been formed for taking an early
census of horticulture by mail, on spe-
cial schedules, and to tabulate and
publish the returns thereof early,
while other branches of the great
work of enumeration are in pro-
gress.
There are approximately 10000
florists in the United States. The
names and addresses of majority of
them have been secured and classified
by the Division of Agriculture in the
Census office, and each known pro-
prietor will soon receive a copy OF the
special schedule devoted to this inter-
est. 1t will be accompanied by list
$50 far as ascertained of.all the for
lists IN this section, to be corrected
by him, added to and returned to the
department for use in making
the record complete and reliable.
This special schedule is not elabo-
rate or complicated. 1t may be
filled out easily and quickly by any
florist who keeps reasonably accu-
rate run of his business. 1t asks for
the (1se9 acreage devoted to hori-
culture and of each crop or variety
of plants and flowers; the total area
in square feet under the glass and
the area of each crop or variety of
flower or plant raised hereunder; the
number of persons employed and
the total wages paid to them; the
amount expended for catalogues,
postage, and fertilizers respectively,
and the gross receipts from the sales
in each subdivision of the business.
No private individuals will be
permitted to have access to the
schedules after they have been filled
out and returned, nor will the names
of persons or firms giving informa-
tion be published in the census
report. Figures only will be used
and published, and the entire process
and record of gathering information
will be confidential.
: As the law requires the regular
enumerators to obtain certain infor-
nation as to tenure, value, ETC., dur
ing their visits, in June, the next
census of Horticulture, if the florists
themselves shall be prompt and con-
scientious in filling out and returning
the special schedules soon to be
sent to them, will be the most perfect
in history.
They will be put to no expense,
as the necessary stationary, with
envelopes properly franked, will be
provided for their use.
