AN ADVERSE REPORT ON QUAY.
FOUND HE WAS NOT ENTITLED TO
SEAT IN SENATE.

Constitution Does Not Give the Gov
ernOr the Right TO Appoint After n
Legislature Fails 10 Do Its Duty.
Minority Claims No State Can he
Deprived of Its Two SenatOrs-May
Cause Long Debate.
Washington. Jan. 23.-The reports of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections in
the case of Senator quay who claims a
seat in the Senate on the strength of the
appointment from the Governor of Penn
sylvania, were presented to-day.
The majority report opposing seating
him, was signed by Senators Caffery, Pet
tus, Turley, Harris and Burrows the last
named the only Republican signing it. The
minority report bears the signatures Of
Senator's Hoar, Chandler Prtchard and
McComas all Republicans and advocates
giving the seat to Mr. Quay.
The majority report says the Senate has
never recognized the right to state exec
utive to make a temporary appointment
where the vacancy occurred during a leg
islative session, and that the paramount
intent to have the Legislature choose the
senators is to prevail. The constitution
trainers never intended to give the execu-
tive Of a slate the power to fin an entire
term by original appointment. unless. pos
sibly, in a case where the Legisla ture had
chosen and the person elected had refused
60 accept or died before qualification
Every contingency is provided by the
constitution, except the sole one that the
Legislature fails to perform its sworn
duty, and against this the constitution
trainers did not intend to provide.
The fundamental principle thus estab-
lshed," says the report. lis that if the
Legislature, either before or after the hap
pening Of a vacancy, has had an oppor-
tunity to fill it. then there is no power in
the state executive to appoint. The re-
suit is fatal to the claims Of Mr.. Quay,
and the Senate. for its own honor and dig
nifty, should stand by its previous solemn
and deliberate decision"
The minority report says the Governors
failure 10 call the Legislature together 10
elect a senator does not act TO deprive
the Governor of the power of appointment.
We think" says the report, that the
intent of The constitution was to provide as
far as possible that every stale should
have two senators. We think that a de-
cision which must inevitably deprive states
in the Union for long periods of time of
their rightful representation under the con-
stitution, win not be permitted long to
stand, and that no settlement of the ques-
ton in derogation of the rights of the
states, and as we conceive, In violation or
the intent of the trainers of the consti-
tuition, should be acquiesced in

hut Rosebery Says the British Must
be Successful.
London, Jan. 23.-At the opening of the
new town hall at Chatham to-day Lord
Rosebery, referring to the war, said:
I'm such a war we must have bad mo-
ments. But trust that in the Providence
of God We are striking a balance of the
evils Great Britain has undergone and the
good derived, and l do not think the bal
ance is much against Great Britain"
Continuing, Lord Rosebery said:
II was never so proud of my country
as during the week following the battle
of the Tugela river, when party politics
disappeared absolutely and gave way to
a passionate resolve to pour out the last
shilling and the last man to assist the
country in her hour of need. Whatever
foreigners may say they have not got to
the bottom of old England yet. This test
of the character of the British people viii
alone counterbalancc our losses. The re-
verses of the war have taught the coun-
try that the empire is a united empire.
The country has yet 10 bring the war to
a triumphant conclusion. When that is
done, 1t must set 10 work and put the
empire on a business footing, and strive
to make it realize the British ideal of an
empire, without menace, without oppres-
sion-a model state ruled by model insti-
tutions and inhabited by a model race"

AMONG THE PLAYERS.

Alert authors and managers seeking
material for an entirely original drama
frequently find in daily papers the out
line or foundation for something quite
up-to-date. Many incidents in city life
are quickly utilized in the construction
Of a novel play with sensational sur
rcundings and scenes never before pre-
sented on the stage. That is what
Mark z. Swan, the author Of several
plays, has done. The recent raids on
women's pool rooms furnished the
fundamental idea around which he has
woven plot and story that is up to
the times. One Of the chief scenes is
a pool room filled with women playing
money on races and depicts vividly the
excitement while the are being run.
II is reported that Manager Stewart
LithgrOw has secured Gussie Mckee to
play a part, but neither she nor any
body in the company will be starred.
The name Of the play is Trapped by
Treachery" 1t will be presented with
new scenery and a company Of talented
