not feel at home among his new com

ITALIAN BARK WRECKED

The Italian bark Northern Empire,
one of the three vessels which were
reported off this port Just before the
heavy gale of last week, the news of
which was told exclusively by The
Journal, is ashore on Chandelier Is
land, 80 miles west of the mouth of
Pensacola harbor, and will be total
loss.
The vessel was bound for Pensacola
for orders when she was spoken by
the pilot boat of the Pensacola Bar
Pilots which placed the expected or
ders in the hands of the captain in
structing him to proceed to GulfpOrt,
Miss, for cargo The vessel proceed

her bearings, bringing up on the
shores of Chandelier, from which 1t
was found impossible to get her on.
The Northern Empire was an Eng

in this port which she has visited
many times for cargOes of lumber.
Full particulars of the disaster were
unobtainable yesterday but it is I'M

pointment is not known, but it would
be unreasonable TO say that he will
appoint anyone other than Senator
Talaferro. This is a matter of great
importance to the state of Florida,
and is one which should be borne IN
mind by the governor.
Some Reasons Why.
There are several reasons why Sen.
asOr Taliaferro should get the ap.
pointment. In the first place. he is
now a member Of the following com.
mittees, viz: Claims, Census, Pen.
sions, Coast Defences, Cuban Rela.
tons, Interoceanic Canals, Pacific
RAILROADS and Postoffices and Post
Roads. All of these are fine commit
tee assignments and should he not
succeed himself, he would probably
lose al or at least some of them.
Nominated For That Office.
In the second place, it would not
be right or just for the governor to
appoint anyone else for this ad-interim
term, because the people of Florida
have nominated Mr.. Taliaferro in the
primary, thus stating that he should
succeed himself. Moreover, should
the governor appoint anyone else
than the present junior senator of
Florida, he would violate the prece-
dent set by Governor Jennings, in a
similar case-that of Senator Mallory.
Il is understood that the governor
and Senator Taliaferro belong to diff
ferent political factions in the politics
OF Florida, but both are sterling demo
Gratis, and it is believed that the gov
ernor desires to carry out the wishes
expressed by the people in the pri-
mary, and the legislature will certain
IL re-elect Senator Taliaferro.
For the reasons already assigned.
undoubtedly the governor will appoint
Senator Taliaferro TO I'LL the ad int
rim term. IL should be reiterated
that this is a very important matter.
because, after March 4. there will be
matters before the senate for consid-
Grafton in which Florida will be inter
esteo, and she should be represented
fully then by experienced and learned
senators. Mr.. Taliaferro's record
warrants one in making this claim
for him.
TaIisferrois Way of Working.
He has not made any reputation as
