The Court of Appeals of Maryland has
recently decided in the case of Coyington
VS.. Buffet (45 Att, 204) that, under the
constitutional provision that each house
shall be Judge of the qualifications and
elections of its members the Senate of
the State of Maryland has the sole right
of deciding that vacancy exists by reason
of a member becoming disqualified, and
that the courts have not the power SO to
declare. and until the Senate has deter
mined that a vacancy exists the court can
not order an election to fill the vacancy
The question in this case arose on petition
of mandamus by J. Harry Covington to
compel the board OF supervisors of election
for Talbot county to print his name as the
nominee of the Democratic party for State
Senator on the ground that Harry C. Dod-
son, who had been elected Senator had ac-
cepted a Federal Office and removed from
the county, thereby creating a vacancy.

the question as to which faction was right
from a theological standpoint, and decided

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 30.-The mortal
remains of the late United States Sena-
tor Davis which lay in state in the
governors room in the capitol We're
viewed by hundreds of people today who
silently filed through the room in con-
stant stream.
Senator Davis was entitled by vir-
tue of his high Office to the escort of
major general commanding, which in
this state, would mean, since the state
has no cavalry, a regiment Of infantry
and battalion of artillery. Such an
escort could not be readily summoned
and did not meet with the approval of
the senator's family who desired that
the services, in every way be as simple
as possible.
The military escort, therefore, con-
sisted of company D of the first regi-
ment, Minnesota national guard, under
Captain NJ. L. Merrill, most of whom
were veterans of the Philippine cam
paign as members of the famous Thir-

NEWS OF EXISTENCE OF ACRE
FOLLOWED BY REPORT OF
EXTINCTION.

New York, Nov. 30--A special to the
Times, from Washington, says: The an
nouncement of the existence of the Acre
republic and the news of its extinction
came almost simultaneously.
1t was declared in December, 1S99 and
it was not crushed until August, 1900.
From time to time stray newspaper ar
ticles have mentioned rumors that the
people of Acre had declared a republic,
but the first positive news to that effect
was contained in a recent Denver de-
spatch, declaring that Acre had sent a
minister to this country. If the minis
ter has come in good faith, he is doomed
to disappointment. The republic of Boil
ivia hasc Onquered his country and
wiped out it's short-lived government.
The Bolivian army reached Acre in the
summer and began the work OF restoring
the country to its allegiance. This was
a simple matter, as far as the actual
friction was concerned, owing to feeble
preparations of Acre, but the country is
SO large that it was some time before or
der was entirely restored. ArreZ fled to
Brazil, and the other leaders of the re-
volt also made their escape after Of
fering some ineffectual resistance to the
Bolivians. In August the rebellion was
finally crushed. The Bolivian soldiers
still remain in possession in order 30

bellion is made.

be the representative of Acre in this
country. Secretary Cridler says the state
department knows nothing whatever of

LIEUT.. HARRISON TO GO.
Son of Ex-Presiden Will Cease to Be an
Army Officer.

New York, Nov. 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says; Lieut.
Col. Russell B. Harrison, son of former
President Harrison, will cease to be an
officer of the army on Saturday, Decem-
Der l.
Earnest representations of friends and
personal appeals made to the president
and secretary of war have failed, and he
will be discharged in accordance with
the orders issued when Secretary Root
was in California. This action is taken
in spite of the favorable report of Brig
adler General Cockridge, chief of the
corps of which Lieutenant Colonel Har-
rison was a volunteer member, and it
is understood that Lieutenant General
Miles favored his retention. The presl-
dent decided, however, that the action
of the war department was justihable,
and Lieutenant Colonel Harrison must
go.
In explanation of the determi mination
of the president and secretary of war
to drop Lieutenant Colonel Harrison, a
high official of the war department said
than any of the other sons of noted men
appointed during and subsequent to the
war with Spain. James G.. Blaine, Stew
ard NJ. Brice and others of prominent
families, We're discharged months ago.
Lieutenant Harrison, it is said, has
shown no special aptitude for the army,
and as the department of Porto Rico,
to which he was attached, was recently
abolished, there was no further need for
his services.
