CHANGES m THE SENATE
Soft Places for Some of the Retir-
ing Statesmen.

The election returns show that several
Of the familiar figures of the Senate as 1t
stands today will be retired. These States
in which the political complexion of the
legislature was not changed, will. as
rule return the men from those States
now in the Senate and whose terms are
about to expire. Three changes haze al
ready been made by Legislatures which
have eIected-Senator Gallery Of Louisia-
IA will be succeeded by former Governor
Foster, of that State; Senator Lindsay OF
Kentucky will be succeeded by former
Senator Blackburn, and Governor McLau-
rem of Mississippi will succeed Senator
Sullivan of that State. At least three Re
pubJieans wiz not be returned. They are
Senators Carter of Montana, Wolcott of
Colorado, and Thurston of Nebraska.
Senator Thurston viii not be a candidate
for reelection, if the final returns in Ne
braska give the Legislature to the Repub-
licans, but VIII devote himself to the
practice OF law.
Senators Carter and Wolcott viii not be
reelected, but their defeats, 1t is under
Stood viii not retire them to private life.
Senator Carter is already being talked OF
! as a probable member Of the Cabinet in
the new Administration He has had ex-
Perience in departmental life in Washing
, ton, having been Commissioner of the
General Land Office during the Harrison
Administration
Senator Wolcott has peculiar claims on
the Mckinley Administration He remain
ed with the Republican party in the cam
paign of 1896, when SO many men from the
! Western States supported Mr.. Bryan.
There IS no doubt that if he had followed
Senator Teller into the Silver Republican
movement he could have retained his hold
i in Colorado politics. and would have been
| returned 10 the Senate as silver man.
Members of the Administration say it is
too early yet to predict what viii be done
for Senator WoIcott, but they feel certain
| that an important place VIII be found for
J him. His tastes and qualifications would
/ fit him for foreign post, and it is not in
probable that he may be given an Am
! bassaGorship or an important mission The
; post Of Ambassador to Italy is now vacant.
! and It is possible that he VIII be sent
