Probable Changes in the Congress
sional Districts.

The work of recasting the Congressional
districts of the State, it is stated, will be taken
up at once. There is some talk of transferring
Cecil county from the Second district to the
First and replacing it in the Second with
Howard county for the purpose of getting the
latter-always Democratic--out of Mr.. Mudd's
district To counterbalauce this change. two
more of the city wards, possibly the Twenty
first aud Twenty second, may be added to the
Fifth district.
Further changes are said to be contemplated
in the Second district, where, it is understood,
Baltimore county is anxious to get rid of the
Twelfth ward, the home of too many available
Congressional aspirants. There is a report
that matters will be arranged so as to have
this very uncertain and troublesome ward
placed in the Fourth district, now represented
by Congressman Charles R. Schirm.

Prince Henry, of Prussia. a brother to the
King is coming 10 the United States, aud will
be given a royal welcome by the country-or
its Washington representatives, There has
been some friction between the United States
and Germany, over meat inspections aud tar
if schedules, and suspicious that Germany
had designs respecting South America. Off
cial communications between the two govern
ments, however, have been cordial, aud the
young Prince is making visit as a represen-
tative of the Kaiser, as an evidence of good
feeling for the United States. The President
will receive him cordially and he is to be the
guest of the United States. 1t is hoped the
visit will result in establishing warmer friend
ship between the two peoples. He should be
treated by the press with courtesy aud dignity
for the position he holds, as a representative
ofthe great German empire, and cartoonists
and wits should not be permitted to use their
pencils upon him.

Thomas heart. All were unaware oft being
loaded Young Thomas is a son of Mr.. K.
s. Thomas lawyer of Standardville, Green

Lewis Nixon has been elected leader OF
Tammany. He is but forty years old, a
graduate of West Point Naval Academy, one
of the greatest ship designers of the world,
proprietor of a large shipyard, and connected
with large number of enterprises of impor-
lance, and is a man of ability, industry and an
organizer. He succeeded Richard Croker
and will rejuvenate Tammany and increase its
power and influence, by attracting to the or
ganization men of influence and high standing
whom Croker could not reach. Nixon's
high character and ability is attested by the
efforts of the New York Sun and other rank
Republican papers to class him as Croker $
man. A sketch of Mr.. Nixon appears on the
fourth page of the ADVOCATE.

If the Hon. Isaac Lobe Stratus had been
chosen Speaker of the House of Delegates,
woufl he have declared that he would make 1t
warm for the Democratic leaders and their
Legislation? I. IF not, isn't his present kick the
result of personal disappointment, rather than
of any shortcomings of the leaders or any leg
Eislation they have in view?
