completes the elections to fill the seats
of the so senators whose terms expired
in March. For the first time in eight
years there is now no senatorial va

since March 4, 1895. when the term of
Anthony Higgins. of Delaware, ex-
pired. One or both the seats from that
state have been continuously vacant
since. Vacant seats from other states
have happened also either on account
of death or resignation or failure to
elect. But they have been only tenn
