of aquatic sports began to congregate
along the banks of the Schuylkill as
early as ten o CLOCK this morning in

the shortest route from the Pacific to
the Orient is from Seattle. The dis
lance from Seattle to Yokohama via
Dutch Harbor is 4240 miles. From
San Francisco the distance to Yoko-
hama by the circle route" is 1896
miles, and by the Honolulu route $500
miles. This gives Seattle a clear adj
vantage in mileage.

Jackson, Miss, June 5-The
death of Hon. A. j. Russell, speaker
of the lower House of the Legsla-
ture, removes from the field of poll
ticians in Mississippi a man who
would have been one OF the leading
candidates for Governor of the cam
paign next year, and the contest is
greatly simpliied in consequence of
the sad event.
Had he lived TO enter the Canvass
Mr.. Russell would have proven one
of the most formidable contestants,
and 1t was generally conceded
among the political forecasters that
the race would finally narrow down
between Prof A. A. Kincannon, A.
]. Russell and Monroe McClurg.
He ranked among Mississippi S most
prominent and popular public men,
and the wide influence be has WELD
ed heretofore in matters of State
would have made him O most dan
gerous rival for any of the aspirants
for the Office.
The deceased was essentially q
self-made man. He was the son OF
struggling Baptist preacher at
Russellville, Ala, and in early life
learned the printer S trade at
Verona under Capt. Lacy, now as
sistant Secretary of the prison
board of control. Later in life he
studied law, was admitted to the
bar, and became district counsel for
the Mobile & Ohioroad. His broth
err, Col. R. L. Russell, was president
of the road prior to its consolidation
with the Southern Railway.

POLITICAL SITUATION.

Huntsville Mercury.
 It is generally conceded in well inform. ed political circles that Governor Jelks will have the support of the pro-conven- tionists in the coming election Having been in sympathy with the legislative act authorizing the convention, and later in sympathy with the convention, Gov ernor Jelks should be elected to approve the acts of the next legislature giving force and life to the provisions of the new organic law.
 The Birmingham Ledger suggests that Governor Jelks will probably have several opponents in the gubernatorial contest and gives as reason for that opinion the fact that Senator Pettus must be reelected next year and that the new Governor may want that station. It fur ther suggests that both Alabama Senators are old men which implies that vacancies by death may occur in which case the chief executive would have the appoint ing power. The first suggestion is unrea- sonable because the constitution provides that the Governor shall not be eligible to any office until one year after the ex- piration of his term, but the second sug-, gestion might seal political friendships of value to any man having political aspira- tions
 When the contest is fully on there will De only two canuluateS-One representing the progressive Democracy and the new constitution, and another representing an aggregation of political sore-toes and opposing the new constitution. The first will be Governor Jelks and the latter will most likely be ex-Governor Johnston.
 Friends of ex-Mayor Josiah Quincy of Boston say that he cannot be the Demo- cratic nominee for Governor of Massachu- setts or for a seat in Congress at next falls election. He is now in Mexico, and wants to attend to business. Colonel Will liam A. Gaston and Charles H. Hamlln are understood to be ready to take the nomination for Governor on request.
 Governor McSweeney of South Carolina has appointed Colonel J. H. Estill of Savannah, Ga. as honorary aide on his stan, with the rank of Lieutenant Colo mel. Surprise at the selection for such a position of a resident of another State may be lessened by the knowledge that they have been for many years close per- sonal friends; that both are newspaper men. and that Colonel Estill. who has had much military experience, is a native South Carolinian.

It does not put upon the President the responsibility of choice of routes-a responsibility which he should not incur. It does put certain business arrangements in his hand. Above all, 1t insures canal by one route or the oth- CT.
 The only danger menacing the success or canal legislation comes from the "Nic- aragua or nothing Senators! MT. Nor gan, for instance. vows he will never consent to the passage of bill for Pan- anna.
