PRENTIs TO SUCCEED CRUMP.
Rhea's Professional Engagements
Given for Final Declination.

RICHMOND, Va, May 3.-Considerable
surprise follows the official announcement
that ex-Judge William F. Rhea Of Bristol,
who was recently appointed to succeed
Judge Beverly T. Crump on the state cor
poration commission. is not to accept this
position. and that the place will go to Judge
Robert R. Prentis Of Suffolk. Judge Rhea
at the last minute appears to have changed
his mind about the matter. 1t is said, how
ever, that he Is merely waiting for the next
vacancy. which will occur in February,
when the term of Commissioner Stuart will
expire by Limitation.
In letter to Gov. Swanson, Judge Rhea
explains that his somewhat unlooked-for
decision is due to legal engagements which
he cannot with propriety put aside at pres
ent He adds that the situation will be diff
ferent with him in a few months, and that
therefore he will await the next vacancy.
Gov Swanson summarized things in these
words "You may say that I rendered the
appointment to Judge Rhea, and when he
found that on account of recently arranged
legal engagements he did not see his way
clear to accept a seat on the commission at
this time, got into communication with
Judge Prentis and offered 1t to him. He
has accepted and will go into Office on
Judge Crumps retirement, about May TO-"
Judge Prentis was at the mansion when
this announcement was made, and indicated
his complete willingness to accept the posi-

LINCOLN, Neb., May 3.-W. J. Bryan
does not take kindly to what he calls the
new party Of w. r. Hearst. He says in
his Commoner:
THAT Mr.. Hearst means well will be
admitted, but there will be a difference Of
opinion as to the wisdom of his action. In
joining a party a man naturally asks two
questions: First, what does the party stand
for? and, second, what chance has the party
of accomplishing its purpose? The second
question Is scarcely less important than the
first. for unless party has a prospect of
putting its principles into law, 1t strives
in vain, and because It strives in vain, it
does not appeal to the people. The In
dependence League must grow in order to
exert great influence, and 1t cannot draw
to itself any considerable number of think
ing men without becoming a debating soci-
ETY.. Whether the new party Is really needed
is matter which time alone can decide"
Mr.. Bryan adds that he still has faith
in the democratic party, and concludes by
suggesting that democratic papers treat
Mr.. Hearst and the party as an ally, in
stead Of an enemy.

Intelligence OF the death At Wate,

Intelligence of the death at Water
loo, New Hampshire, of Nehemiah
G. Ordway, has been given to the
papers. He was Dakota's governor
In territorial days, from 1881 to 1884,
and has made the national capital his
home most of the time since he left
this state. After he had served as
governor he became interested in pro-
noting several large deals in the
state. The town of Ordway, Brown
county, was promoted by himself and
> number of friends as the seat of
territorial government, in an effort
to move 1t from Yankton, but Bis
marck was chosen instead, and the
Brown county town went into decay,
and finally out of existence. Cover
nor Ordway's death was attributed
to - nervous shock" He had been
for many years IN failing health, hav-
ing suffered = paralytic attack about
twelve years ago.
