the term for which lie was elected.
There appears 10 be no provision in the
statutes for q state senator resigning
because the constitution provides for
the governor to call special elections
to fill vacancies caused by death or re-
mOval from the state.
The question now to be determined
is whether this prohibition applies to
a person who has been elected to Of
fee by the people. There appears to
be a difference of opinion here among
attorneys, and The question may get
into the courts fer settlement.
Gov. Dockery is in st. Louis, and 1t
is not known what course he will pur-
sue with regard to the resignation OF
Senator Mckinley VIXEN it reaches
him.
Senator McKinley's term ends in
1907. The question is whether, having
been elected acknowledgement he a
resign and be eligible. Constitution
seems to indicate that a senator al
not resign to accept another office, for
it provides for filling vacancies caused
by death or removal, and says moth
ing about filling vacancies caused by
resignation.

JAPS ORDERED TO
TAKE PORT ARTHUR
Are Said to Be Contracting Energies
For Last Desperate Assault.
ALL is QUIET AT MuKDEN
According to 81 Report Brought by
Chinese to russian Headquarters
the Corpse of Gen. KurOki Has
Arrived mt

st. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-(3:30 a. n.y.
There is lack of news from the
front. The report hat the Japanese
are contracting their energies for a
desperate assault on Port Arthur, in
view of the approach of the Baltic
squadron, is quite generally credited in
official quarters. Such a To- has been
expected to transpire as soon as the
Japanese learn that the sQuadron's
trip was an actually, and no mere
demonstration. The authorities are
prepared to hear terrible reports of the
projected assault. While not h%azarding
a guess whether the fortress can be
carried if the besiegerS are utterly re-
CARELESS of human life, they are conf
dent that Gen. Stoessel will be able to
make such an attack one Of the cOstli-
est operations in history.
