New York Sept 20.-In the pres

Admiral Capps, chief constructor Of
the navy, and many prominent men,
including naval and army officers, gov
ernors and United States senators. the
Connecticut. one OF the two greatest

is estimated that more than 10000

Miss Alice B. Weles christened the
ship by breaking a bottle of cham

The Connecticut is a sister ship of
the Louisiana, and both vessels were
authorized by an act Of congress in

government yard and under govern

was built by a private shipbuilding
firm at Newport News, Va. The con

Governor Sparks Gives Reasons
for Declining Senatorial TOga

for Declining Senatorial TOga
The Carson Appeal of May 18th
publishes the following from the pen
of Governor Sparks:
To the people of Nevada:
The subject of choosing a candidate
to represent the Fusion party in the
ensuing campaign for the position of
United States senator has become a
matter of discussion by the press and
the people of the state. AS have
been mentioned as an aspirant for
the position, it seems proper at this
time TO make a statement of my in
tentions and the reasons therefor.
In the first place | desire to say
that | am not an aspirant for the
position and have not given any per-
son reason to believe that | would
be, | do, however, appreciate the
homer of such mention, and am not
insensible to the kind expressions Of
confidence by friends who have con-
sidered my name in connection with
a position so high and honorable.
The people of this state less than
two years ago, elected me governor
for a term of four years. | do not
consider that | have as yet fulfilled
the obligation which | assumed in
connection with the Office | now hold,
and if | can be so fortunate as To
meet the expectations Of my constit-
uents in an acceptable manner dur
=, ing the remainder of my term, ]
shall be more than gratifed.
= The position Of governor was not
solicited by me nor has my occupa.

pended in a business way, and my
affairs at this time with the contem
plative enterprises in view will forbiC
entering into a political campaign OF
the assumption of the duties of United
II States senator, should ] be elected.
In respect to the election Of United
States senators in this state, it seem
n to have become an established Gus
tom to expect candidates to be no
only wealthy, but willing to expen,
money lavishly to be considered eli
gible. This practice would never b
