YER MONT IN SENATE.
(From The Washington PostD

In December, 1851 upon the assembling
of the Thirty-second Congress, Solomon
'oote appeared and took the oath as
senator from Vermont and continued in
that service until his death, fifteen years
later when he was succeeded by George
+. Edmunds. who was senator from
Vermont from 1865 TIL 1891 when he
resigned and was succeeded by Rcdiicld
Proctor. who was senator from Vermont
until his death last Ncdne sday. This is
remarkable shOwiug-three senators in
one line with a total service OF nifty
seven years or an average OF nineteen
years each.
The other line discovers something
littl" less uncommon. Jacob Collamer
became senator from Vermont in 1888
and served until his death, a period of
ten years, when he was succeeded by
Luke +. Poland, who served two years.
Justin s. Morrill, succeeded him and con-
tinued in the senate until his death. De-
cembcr IS 1898 when William r. Dill
lingham succeeded to the place. which
he stir holds Thus, IN the other line
Vermont has had four senator's in hrty-
three years. an average OF more than
thirteen years each.
Here We have total service in the
senate Of 10 years by seven senator's
an average Of above fifteen years. Ken
tucky came into the Union with Yer
mont, or a little lator in 1872. and it is
probably true that Kentucky has been
represented in tho senate by twice AS
many individuals as Vermont. 1t is also
saf 70 to say that relatively the tenure Of
hoo ha y,
senators from any other State have
enjoyed.
OF all the senator's from Vermont or
New England, Justin s. Morrill, served
llongcst-thirty- one years and upward.

ANXIOUS TO STOP
RAIDS INTO MEXICO
THE UNITED STATES INCENsED
BY THE ILLEGITIMATE USE OF
ITS TERRITORY.

WASHINGTON, July SO.-lnabinty
to extradite offenders for so-called po-
litical offenses which, in the opinion
of the Administration are really crimes
that should be extraditable, is proving
a source of great irritation in the eff
fort which the United States Govern
ment is making to break revolutionary
activity along the Mexican-Texas
boundary. This, coupled with the diff
ficulty in detecting and proving VIOLA
lions in the neutrality laws, renders
it difficult to convince the MeXicans OF
the sincerity Of this Government in It's
desire to punish the guilty.
On his recent trip to Oyster Bay En-
bassador Creel talked over the whole
border trouble with President Roose-
welt, who is determined to put an end
to the trouble as far as lies in the Gov
ernments power. The President, it is
understood, favors, If necessary, the
employment of special counsel who
may apply themselves to the question
of neutrality violations and extradi-
ton, so that the law may be fully en-
! forced. officials contend that there is
no reason why persons on this side OF
the border who foment revolutionary
movements and cross into Mexico to
engage in raids and other operations
of criminal character and then seek
safety from arrest in this country
should have any exemption from ex-
tradition on the alleged ground that
their acts were political. On the con-
trary the official view is that they
should be extradited as felons.
Both the United States and the Mex.
lean Governments, it was officially said
today, are fully aroused in this mat
ter, and the former will take drastic
steps to end this species of pernicious
activity so far as it IS incident to
United States soil.
