WELLINGTON OPPOSES QUAY.
Says That the Legislature Should
Have Been Called.

| After The Stars report Of the proceedings
| of the Senate was closed yesterday after
noon Mr.. Hoar addressed the Senate on the
Porto Rican appropriation bill. He an
| nounced his willingness to let the appropri-
| alton bill pass for humanitarian reasons,
| but took occasion to repeat his views on the
general question Of expansion.
II have not" he said. Changed or modi-
| fled my former opinions and he proceeded
| to say that his study during the last twelve
months of the situation in the Philippines
had served to convince him that he had
| been right in his original position. He had
read with great interest the state papers
of the leaders Of the Philippine revolt and
had found them to be modest, temperate
and eloquent appeals to the love of justice
| of the people of the United States" and he
| hoped and believed that in time these ap-
peals would make their way to the con-
| sciences of the people Of this country, in
| surfing justice in the end If not now. In
concluding, Mr. Hoar said: II do not think

Wellington Speaks Against Quay.
Before the discussion of the pending bill
had been concluded Mr.. Wellington (Md.)
called up the resolution relating to the seat
| ing of Mr.. Quay as senator from Pennsyl-
vania. He presented an elaborate argument
against the seating of Mr.. Quay, holding
| that as the legislature of Pennsylvania was
| in session when the vacancy occurred and
| that the legislature had endeavored to fill
the vacancy by taking many ballots, the
governor was estopped from making an ap-
! pointment.
Mr.. Wellington maintained that the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania ought to have called
together the legislature Of the state, as had
the governor of California, for the purpose
of electing a senator. He pointed to the
fact that California was now represented
in the Senate by it's two senators.
Had the governor Of Pennsylvania done
likewise" said Mr.. Wellington. "ether Mr.
Quay would now be seated here, with full
right and title to his seat, or some other
citizen of the great commonwealth of Penn
sylvana would be here in his stead, Per-
sonally, he said, he would BE- glad to have
Mr.. Quay in the Senate, but in view of the
Constitution and the presidents he felt that
he could not vote for his admission.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wellington's
speech running colloquy on the constitu-
tional questions involved in the Quay case
was precipitated, the participants being
Mr.. Spooner, Mr.. Wellington, Mr.. Burrows
and Mr.. Allsn. 80. .
The Senate then, at 5 O'clock adjourned
until 10 o'clock today, in order that the
Alaskan code bill might be rsad before
noon.

PLANS OF CAMPAIGN.
Admiral Dewey to Be at the Head of
a Board of Strategy

The Secretary Of the Navy has deter
mined to appoint a general board to meet
once a month and consider general plans
OF campaign to be used in case of war
Thls Is the outgrowth of studies which
Capt. II. c. Taylor has been pursuing in
years past at the naval war college. The
board will correspond somewhat to the
strategic war board which was in existence
during the Spanish-American war, and IL
is intended to meet the demands of the
modern theories of preparedness for war.
Admiral Dewey is to be at the head of the
board, on which also probably will be rep
resentatives OF the war college and the
office of naval intelligence.

This Morning.

William Mckenzie, sixty-six years old, who
and was an employee of the bureau of en-
craving and printing, dropped dead about
o'clock this morning while cleaning snow
from the rear of his house. Members of his
family who saw him fall, thought he had

ing the snow and that he would soon re-
cover. He was taken into the house and a
physician was summoned. Examination re-
vealed that he was dead.

of heart disease. Coroner Carr was noti-
fed. An inquest will not be held for the
reason that death resulted from natural
causes.

ganization of Odd Fellows in Westminster

NEW WARSHIPS,
Recommendations of the House Naval
Affairs Committee.

Recommendations of the House Naval
Affairs Committee.
The House committee on naval affairs
reached a definite and final decision yester-
day as to the number Of new warshfps to
be authorized in the forthcoming naval sp-
preparation bill. as follows:
Two sea-going coast-line battle ships, of
about 1880 tons each, to cost, approxi-
mately,' 100000 each; three armored
cruisers of the highest practical speed and
most powerful armor and armament, to
cost, approximately, 100000 each; three
protected cruisers, to cost about 81 14l OGl
each.
No GunbOats.
1t was determined not to provide any
gunboats, in view of the opinion expressed
by Secretary Long and Admiral Dewey thai
Gen. Otis recent purchases of serviceable
boats Of this character met present gunboat
requirements.
The committee decided to authorize the
Secretary of the Navy to contract for
armor at price not exceeding $545 per ton
This applies to the emergency armor, about
400 tons. required for the battle ships
Maine Missouri and Ohio, now in course of
construction, and not to the vessels author
lied, but not begun, nor to those contem-
plated by the present bill.
Sheathing Ships.
The question of sheathing ships, which
has excited much interest in naval circles
Of late. was determined by adopting a pro-
vision leaving the question of sheathing to
the discretion Of the Secretary of the Navy.
Prior to the action on the bill Naval Con-
structor Caps, who served with Admiral
Dewey in the Philippines, was heard on
the sheathing question. He urged in par
ticular that vessels to be used in foreign
service should be sheathed. as foreign dry
decks were not always available.
The committee did not provide specifically
for the building of any of the new ships
in government yards, as has been urged by
delegations from Brooklyn and elsewhere.
so that it is expected that the usual provi-
sions as to building will be inserted in the
bill, with possibly some discretionary power
with the Navy Department as to utilizing
government yards for this purpose.
The decisions practically complete the bill,
although there is still a weeks work in
preparing the formal, language executing
the determination of the committee.

EVERY EVENING" STATES ITS POSITION
Answers the "Erratic Smyrna CALI Con-
cerning its Political Standing.

The EUery EUening of Wednesday,
thus defines its position:
The erratic Smyrna CAL, an ardent
silver organ-although it editorially
claims to be SO Democratic that it
would drop free silver coinage and
support the gold standard if the Ma
tional Democratic Convention should
declare in favor of the latter-for some
mysterious reason known only to itself
propounds the following questions to
EUery EUening.
First-Will it support an electoral
ticket in Delaware next autumn favor
able to Bryan.
Second-Will it support any free sill
yer candidate for the Presidency?
Third-What sort of ticket would
be entirely acceptable to it from top to
bottom?
Fourth-In the event of Bryan's re-
nomination will it formally and openly
espouse KcKinley or gold Demo
cratic ticket, or will it try to speak
through the campaign on our out
j skirts?
In the first place, we desire to I'M
press upon the erratic Smyrna CdUthe
| fact that EUeIy EUening is not. and
never has been, Democratic organ,
nor the organ of any other political
party. 1t has been independent, pOlit-
lcally, since its birth, and expects to
remain so all its life. 1t has supported
Republican candidates and Republican
measures when it deemed them right,
and Democratic candidates and Demo
cratic measures when it believed that
they presented the real interests OF
people. That it has been oftener on
the Democratic side than on the Re-
publican side is due to the political
conditions that have prevailed in Della
for the past quarter of century.
But as to the questions:
First-Will we answer that question
when the electoral ticket is named.
Second When the ''free silver candi-
date for the Presidency is named
there will be no doubt of EUery EUen-
ia0's attitude. The position of this
paper on the currency question is well
known, and when the ''free silver
candidate for the Presidency" is fairly
in the field, we will not hesitate to ex.
press our opinion with respect to his
candidancy.
Third-A Democratic ticket, on a
Democratic platform; not a Populist
ticket on Populist platform.
Fourtb-EUery EUening will not
''try to sneak through" any campaign
Should the conditions be such that
: EUery EUening cannot formally and
openly espouse" the cause of any
candidate for the Presidency, we pre-,
g sumo the woods will be handy to take
= to.
: Finally, we beg to assure our erratiC
e neighbor that we believe in the homely
s old adage, ''never attempt to cross 8
Y bridge till you come to the point, or tc
: parting of the ways" the people will
not be left in doubt as to the attitude
: of this paper.

If General Roberts succeeds in end
ing the war and scoring a victory for
England he will find, upon his return
home, that he can have any title he
wishes. He is already on the shady
side of life and it is remarkable that
man who has passed the age of activity
as defined by most people should have
been the one to change the entire
character of the campaign in Africa.
Whether Lord Roberts succeeds or
fails in his present work he has already
added lustre to his record as a fighter;
but young Kitchner should not be
overlooked.
