the appointment OF Senator McNulty

Senator Abbott, Union Republican,

The place then was offered to Sen

The president pro tenn then decided

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR WILL
NOT SIT IN THE JOINT SESSIONS

STAFF Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, Jan. IA. - Attorney-Generai
Ward has rendered an opinion that Lieu
nt-Governor Cannon should not pre-
side at the joint sessions of the Legislat-
ure held to ballot for United States sena-
tors. 1t follows, as a matter of courtesy,
that the president pro TEN OF the senate,
Harry c. Ellison, will preside.
This is the opinion of Mr. Ward, de-
ivered in Difference to a request made by
Mr.. Cannon:
Wilmington, Del, Jan. r. 1901.
To the Hon. Philip L. Cannon, Iieuten-
ant-Governor Of the State Of Della
ware:
My Dear Sir-You have submitted to
me in my capacity Of Attorney General
for the State two questions.
First. When you should be sworn in as
Lieutenant-G Governor and the President
Of the Senate.
Second. Whether it is your duty to
preside over the joint sessions Of the two
houses in joint assembly when they con-
vene for the purpose Of voting for United
States Senators.
As to the first question, and without
any extended discussion. l have TO advise
you that it is your duty to be sworn into
Office as Governor and Presi-
dent of the Senate, on Tuesday morning,
January 10. In my judgment this should
be the first business act of the Senate on
that day. You will be thereupon entitled
to take your seat as pres--.ng officer OF
the Senate.
As to the second question, il is my opin-
ion that it is not your duty TO preside in
joint assembly Of the two houses Of the
General Assembly when they meet e
vote for United States Senators.
Section 4. of Article I. Of the Constitu-
ton Of the United States provides that

mon duty Of a presiding officer as such.
! am Of the opinion, inasmuch as the
Licutenant-Govcrnor is not technically a
member of the State Senate, that it Is
not his duty in obedience TO the act Of
Congress as above quoted to take part in
the joint assembly at all. The words Of
the act Of Congress, as above quoted, are
'"The members Of the two houses shall
convene in joint assembly" etc. Not be-
ing required by the act Of Congress to
meet with the joint assembly OF the two
houses, it can scarcely be contended that
the Lieutenant-Governor should become
a member Of the organization of such
joint assembly.
The joint assembly OF the two houses
have the same right to organize, as any
other public meeting or convention. The
act Of Congress is silent upon the question
as to who should preside at the senatorial
joint assembly. In the light OF the uni
versal practice, upon the organization Of
such joint assembly some member there
Of should be elected presiding officer
thereof.
/ am advised that It has been the usual
custom for the Speaker Of the Senate TO
preside at this joint assembly Of the two
houses. II the President of the Senate be,
in accordance with this opinion, ineligible
to so preside at such joint assembly, this
custom becomes Of no avail in determin-
ing who ought to be so selected by the
members Of the joint assembly 10 preside
at these sessions IL is Of importance that
the proper precedent should be set on the
occasion OF the first joint assembly for the
election Of United States Senators since
the election Of a Lieutenant-G Governor un-
der our present State Constitution. As TO
the selection Of a presiding officer Of such
joint assembly. it is, however. no part OF
my duty in this opinion, nor i'm my judg-
mcnt in any opinion to give advice. The
determination OF this question of courtesy
is one entirely within the province Of the
members of the Senate and House when
they convene in such joint assembly. The
question may be settled either by the
nomination and election at such joint as
sembly. or by the adoption OF rules for
the government Of such joint assembly
which shall determine what person, il
any. shall ex-oficio be such presiding
officer.

Kitchener Reports SkirmiSh-
CS at Several Points
APPEAL FOR REINFORCEMENTS
Former President Of Republic Makes
Futile Effort to Persuade BOer
Leaders 10 Surrender

London, Jan. 14.-The war once has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener:
Pretoria, Sunday, Jan. 13: About
1.400 Beers crossed the line, attacking
both zuurfonteln and Kaalfonteln sta
tions, but were driven on. They are
being pursued by a cavalry brigade"
Lord Kitchener reports also several
skirmishes at different points. with
triaing British losses, and adds:
"Three agents OF the peace COM
mittee were taken as prisoners to De
Vets laager, near Lindley. Jan. 10.
One, who was a British subject, was
flogged and then shot. The other two.
burghers, were fiogged by De Vets
ORDERS"
Last Friday night the Beers cut the
wires between Irene and Olifantsfon-
tein stations. Early Saturday morn
ing 500 Beers. under Commandant
Boyer, invested Kaalfontein station. A
hot rife fire and shell fire. with two
field pieces and a Maxim, was MAIN
tained for six hours.
An armored train and reinforce
ments were sent from Pretoria. but be-
fore they arrived upon the scene the
garrison had driven off the Beers who
retired unmolestsd with a transport
train half a mile long The Beers blew
up the line beyond Kaalfontein. COM
pelling the mail train to return here.
AZ IS supposed their object was To OBJ
tain supplies. a great quantity Of which
Is stored at Kaaliontein
The British had no casualties.
The brief report OF the fate Of the
three members OF the peace commits
sion excites the deepest indignation
on all Sides One or two papers ex-
press O hope that Lord Kitchener has
been misled by false Kainr reports, but
It Is generally felt that he would not
have reported the matter TO the war
Office without undoubted evidence.
The Daily Mail heads the report with
tho word murder" and dcclaims
against any further attempt TO coax
the enemy into submission "De Wet
has placed himself outside the pale OF
humanity" says The Daily Mail. "and
not proclamations. but large reinforce
mcnts must be our watchwOrd"
The Morning Post says: This
marks the point where the guerilla
phase ends and the bandit phase be-
gins"
All the papers appeal strongly to the
government 20 hurry forward rein
forcements, since 1t Is evident that the
Boer leaders have now become des-
perato and conciliation is quite useless.
The Pretoria correspondent OF Tho
Daily Mail announces the return to
Pretoria Of Mr.. pretorius. a former
president OF the late South African r0s
public, from a futile endeavor to per-
suade the Boer leaders to surrender.
Details OF the attacks upon Kaalfon-
tein and Zuurfontein stations show
that there were only small garrisons
OF about 120 men at each station. The
British had excellent trenches. which
enabled them to Withstand the attacks
until the Beers, having ascertained
that reinforcements were coming to the
garrisons, retired. At zuurfontein a
party Of Beers in khaki succeeded in
capturing a British patrol OF eight
men. whom they subsequently liberat-
ed. The railway and telegraph lines
will be speedily restored.
No further news has been received
regarding the invasion Of Cape Colony.

Likely to Cause Trouble.

1t Is said that France is trying to buy
100000 square miles of land from
Brazil. The Monroe doctrine declares
that the western hemisphere is no Ion
ger open to colonization by European
powers The colonies which they al
ready held they could retain without
infringing the Monroe doctrine, though
they have since lost most of them.
But they cannot, consistently with the
established policy Of this country. ac-
quire new colonies or add to those they
had before. The traditional policy of
this country therefore, would not per-
NIT France to acquire from Brazil
a colony twice as large as England and
half as large as France. If this were
once permitted, the Monroe doctrine
would no longer be respected by other
European powers.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

william Penn's Rock.

The low land surrounding the famous
Rock House, on East Penn street, Ger
mantown, Is being filled In with
earth. The rock on which this build
ing stands Is the one from which VIII
liam Penn preached Of old, the people
of Philadelphia assembling In great
crowds every Sunday morning to hear
him. The rock was then very high.
Penn spoke from towering eminence,
but 1t Is now almost completely COW
cred, new earth having been dumped
on all that meadow land where, during
the Revolution, the British cavalry
were encamped. The old Rock House
was built, some say, In 1852 by Ger
hard Hendricks, but there Is another
story to the effect that Isaac Shoe
maker erected it with his own hands
in 1890, and over this matter many
heated archaeological arguments still
go on in Germantown. The house is
known variously as the Rock House.
Rock Hall, Shoemaker's House and
Hendricks House. There was some
talk years ago of tearing 1t down, but
such storm of protest thereupon
arose that the idea was abandoned

Old STYLES Revived.

The return Of fashions of old times
Is very marked. No one special period
is kept to; the range is over many;
but the dresses seen in old pictures
are copied. and the more uncommon
the style the greater the success of the
recreation, says the London Standard.
For example, picture Of the Ill fated
Anne Boleyn is responsible for really
beautiful tea gown, made of lace over
satin, with a curious little bodice of
plated white chiffon, a ribbon of cloth
of gold-the material one reads SO
much of in history-with guipure ap-
plique, being knotted in large bow
in front, the quaint sleeves, tight to
the elbow, falling below it in the long
wing ends.
Old gowns of this style have to be
modernized slightly to suit present
day wearers. but most of the genuine
successes are yeritable copies Of our
ancestresses' dresses, as perpetuated
by the artists who painted their por-
traits.
