The news of the death of Senator Nor gan of Alabama will immediately bring up discussion in the state as to who is to be his successor. It is now regarded as extremely probable that Governor Conner nill take no action in the matter of ap- polntment but will leave the selection of a successor to the legislature, which will convene in split session next month.
 It is customary to wait for period of thirty days or more before making an appointment, out of respect for the de- ceased, and if this custom is observed the selection of the successor will naturally come before the legislature, which will be in session by that time.
 At the last primary held in Alabama the people of the state voted upon their choice for succession senator and the re- suit was the selection of Col J. H. Bank head of Fayette and Gen. Joseph r. John

Message From Evans.

In the opinion or the Off1ClhlS Oi the department Admirals Evans had delayed sending this sad message until he had exhausted every means of finding trace of the missing men. For the sailors at the navy department said that there was always a chance that the laungh had merely broken down her machinery and going adrift without control in the very strong ebb tides that sw0t through tn Roads had perhaps gone out to seq witt her crew and passengers still safe. There was also a chance that having been rui down by some big steamer the men had been hauled aboard while the launch had gone down.
 The department sent another wireless message to Admiral Evans. requesting him to furnish the names of the five en- listed men who made up the crew of the missing launch
 Because of their youth and very recent ontry Into the naval service, the young officers who lost were not widely known outside of the naval academy. Midshp- man Henry c.

Rushed to Captured Fort.

The nearest town In which was gar risoned large force of Savadorean troops Is Sonsonate, about 45 minues by rail on the Salvadorean railroad. It is believed that Salvadorean troops have been rushed to the captured port and that a second battle has already been fought, though Minister Delgado has re- ceived no word of such action
 Az soon as the minister received the telegram he drove to the cnstie of Chap ultepec to confer with President Diaz, but the chief executive had already con vened his cabinet and the minister was denied an interview. The whole cabinet was in session for number of hours
 The news of zelaya's action Is not gen. orally known fin this capital, but soon as it becomes public, it is certain to create great excitement. It is thought that the bombardment of Acajutla is the beginning of the great struggle In Central America which has been so long brew ing. Aoajutla Is but few hours distant from the port of San Jose de Guatemala. and 1t Is believed that this Is Zelaya's S objective point. In case this supposition proves true President Cabrera of Guate- mala and President Flgueroa of Saliva dor. will have to fight foes both from within and without, for strong revolu- tionary party will help the Nicaraguans in each of these republics.
 Zeaya' S action Is in direct conflict with the treaty of Amapala, recently signed by representative of his country, which provides that in case of grievance, Central American countries should refer their disputes to the governments of the United States and Mexico for arbitration. The lsst sentence in President Figueroa' s telegram to Minister Delgado, is taken as an evidence of Salvador's bitter feel ing on what they term Zelaya's breach of faith

 Say Officials.

Washington, June 1.-The loss at one time of six bright young midshipmen. fresh from the academy at Annapolis, a to the battleshp Minnesota-eleven men altogether, as reported by the navy de- partment today-was one of the most severe blows that has fallen upon the personnel of the navy since the Spanish American war in the estimation of the officials
 The first news of the calamity which re- suited in the loss of a steam launch, reached the department through the As sociated Press dispatches from Norfolk Acting Secretary Newberry and Admiral Brownson chief of the navigation bureau and the seasoned naval officers, who make up the staff hoped that there had been a mistake because they had received no word from Admiral Evans, commander ln-chief of the Atlantic fleet, who was present in Hampton Roads A wireless message was dispatched from the station at the Washington navy yard directed to the fleet lying in the Roads inqulring into the accuracy of the report Within a half hour the answer came from Ad- mral Evans, and it dlsslpated the last hope that had been cherished.
 "A ditty box belonging to fremen of the Minnesota's missing launch has been picked up afioat near Berth 27, and I am forced to conclude that the launch with all on board are lost. Have ordered board of investigation. Steamer last seen al Exposition pier, about midnight last night"
