advocated his election as United States sem
ator, and when the legislature of 1887 met
Senator Mcmillan withdrew as a candidate
for reelection and Mr.. Davis received every
vote. Senator Davis first craftsmanship in
the senate was of the committee on PEN
| sions, which he held throughout his first
term. He was the author of the pension
| law OF 1880, which terminated the demands
| for excessive pension legislation and also
satisfied the old soldiers. rs a member of
the committee on territories Senator Davis
led the fight for the admission of the Da-
kotas to statehood, making his first speech
! in the senate on that subject. AS a student
and an authority international law Sen
| ator Davis furnished briefs to President
| Harrison and Secretary Blaine on the
Gillian dispute and the Behring sea contro-
| versy. His advocacy of the new locks at
| the Sault Ste. Marie ship canal carried to a
successful result legislation the wisdom OF
| which has since been amply demonstrated.
In 1898 the republican legislative caucus
voted in favor Of the reelection of Senator
| Davis, but before the legislature voted on
| the senatorship various influences inter-
vered and he was finally elected by a ma
jority of one, although the republicans had
a majority of II on joint ballot. At the be-
ginning of his second term Senator Davis
was placed on the committee on foreign
| relations and when Senator Sherman was
! transferred to the abine of President Nc
| Kinley Senator Davis was placed at the
head of tina important committee.
In 1856 many friends Of the senator
pressed his name for the presidential nom
%ination, but before the state convention to
name delegates met he withdrew and Nc
| Kinley delegates were sent from Mime
sofa. During the past four. years Senator
| Davis position as chairman of the foreign
| relations committee of the senate and later
as one of the Paris peace commissioners
nave kept him prominently before the pub
lie of all nations. He was reelected with
out opposition in 1899 for his third term.

States will retain possession of the
Isle of Pines, whatever the final dispo-
sition of Cuba, says a Washington dis
patch to the Journal and Advertiser.

rison will be kept there.
Lying south of the western end Of
Cuba. the Isle of Pines commands the
western or Yucatan entrance to the
gulf. and forms an important outpost
for the defense of the Nicaraguan
canal
While Secretary Root visited Cuba
he went TO the island and recognized
ITS strategic Importance The state
department now holds that under the
treaty of peace the title to the Isle
of Pines passed TO the United States.
Secretary Root holds similar view.

The Helene's Trip.

The Wilder Company's steamer
Helene, Captain Freeman. after an
absence of a few days over month
returned to port Wednesday night
from Laysan Island where she went
TO load guano for the Hawaiian Fer
tiiizer Co. of this place.
The trip with the exception of the
rough south weather experienced was
an uneventful one and after laying at
Laysan Island twenty-four days she
got seven hundred tons OF guano and
Saturday morning last left for Homo
lulu at l a. m. During the heavy
weather the loading had to cease and
once it got so rough, that Captain
Freeman had TO put TO sea for safety.
He was only gone about twelve hours
however as the worst of the storm had
spent itself and il was safe to return
to anchorage
Captain Freeman reports that there
is a good lighthouse on the island
which when lighted is visible for
distance of eighteen miles at sea.
This light is only kept burning while
4 vessel Is at the island. As the land
is very low and not really visible until
ship is almost upon il the captain
Is OF the opinion that arrangements of
some kind should be made to have
the light burn as a regular thing for
the warning and guidance of vessels.
Parts of the wreck of the McNear
have gone ashore at the island and
are being utilized by the dwellers.
Most OF the after house has been set
up for store house. Some of the
timbers and spars are serving on the
wharf and the rest of the wreckage
is being put into sail boat and a
new steam launch being built by Max
Schlemmer. The latter likes his new
position well and sends his regards to
all his friends here and on Kauai

Captain Freeman and his crew cnl-
tiyated taste for the eggs found on
the islands one of which is a good.
sized meal for a hungry man. The
captain says the eggs are very tooth
some and remarkably nourishing.
Five OF the lahorers from the island
were brought back in the Helene and
another force OF anout forty-fiye men
will be sent down soon to work the
deposits.
The guano brought upon the Helene
has packed very hard and pick and

The Cup Races Next Year.

The acceptance of Sir Thomas
Lipton's challenge, by the New
York Yacht club, will serve to nerve
up American yachtsmen, and de-
signers as we'll as builders, to pro-
duce a superior yacht to the Colum-
bia To defend the cup next summer.
There is not a man across the ocean
who, as IA challenger, could be as
popular with our people as Sir
Thomas-we would rather sail
against him than any other foreign
rr that we know of. He was so
fair i'll the contests last year in all
matters pertaining to the races and
accepted his defeat so gracefully
that the American people would be
selfish and unreasonable to desire
any other person as the challenging
party.
Mr.. G. l.. Watson, who designed
Shamrock, feels sure he can furnish
one that will outsail the defeated
yacht. At the same time it is un-
derstood that the Herreshoffs an
nOunce that they can put up boat
that will beat the Columbia, but it
seems rather doubtful to us if they
can improve on her much, if any.
1t is said that the races next year
will be sailed in the latter part of
August on account of more favora-
ble chances for breezes in that
month than in September or Octo-
ber, and it is to be hoped that such
will be the case. Such fasco of
starts as occurred this month last
year to settle the contest is certain
ly disheartening to ardent yachts
men. Let both boats have all the
breeze they want, and then let the
best boat win. If Sir Thomas can
win the cup we will cheerfully turn
it over TO him, but he must win it
by some very fast sailing, it takes
true sport To secure it, and this Is
the only way he would have it, so
here's To the Columbia | and the
Shamrock III.

In a Political Way.

Politics makes strange bed-fel-
lows, indeed; videlecit. White Re
publicans of Jacksonville, who feign
Opposition born of contempt for
the negro in their party politics,
strongly favor the independent
county ticket in Duval, while Joe
Lee, the recognized leader of the
Lee-Eagan-Long branch of straw
berry and-cream, or black-and-tan
Republicans, which is the body cor
porate of the state Republicans,
will support the regular, county,
Democratic ticket. This is novel
feature of Duval politics, calculated
to produce a splitting headache.
And down in Hillsborough
county, the Gunby Republicans,
who have cunningly arrogated
unto themselves the distinction of
being "lily-whites" God save the
mark } have openly announced
their intention to ''fiuke" Matt.
MacFarlane, the Republican candi-
date for governor. Matt. and Ed.
once worked happily together, dear
reader; that was when Cleveland
was president. But just as soon as
their president came into power
they fell out over the distribution
of slice of Federal "pie, "and have
been persona non grata ever since.
They have both tasted of the bit
ters and sweets of political pres
tige.

A special to the New York World from
Chicago, last Friday, says:
Joseph Pazen, theatrical agent on the
third floor of No. l25 Washington street,
was shot in the right side and probably
fatally wounded at noon Wednesday by
Fora Card, burlesque actress.
When arrested, she asked:
''Is he dead?"
On being informed that he was still
alive, she declared, as she waved her
hand dramatically in the air:
''I wish had killed him."
To the police she said:
''I shot in self defense. He attacked me
and | thought he was going to do me
bodily harm. went there to get an ac-
counting from him for acts Of persecution
to which he and William Phelon had
subjected me for several months. Both of
them had me thrown out of employment

not to let me live in Chicago, if they
could help it, inst because l would not

The notorious Goebel election
law of Kentucky is now dead, for
which let the saints be praised. A
compromise substitute offered by
the anti-Goebel Democrats was
adopted by the conference commit
tee of the Kentucky legislature by
a vote of sixteen to four, and was
thus passed, The bill gives the Re-
publicans control of county election
boards in Republican counties, and
the Democrats control in Demo-
cratic counties. The new law will
not apply to the November cleo
ton. Furthermore, in consonance
with this compromise, the Republi-
cans have been allowed to recon-
mend for appointment by the gov
ernor a party member to fill va
cancy in the state electoral commits
sion. Other than this concession,
the body of the law remains as
originally prepared by its immor-
tai author.
