 Governor Stubbs of Kansas will not be can didate for United States senator to succeed Charles Curtis. He desires another term in the gubernatorial chair to finish the task of putting the state on sound business basis.
 The present outlook is that the first regular session of the 61st congress will be given over as completely to currency legislation and the reform of the monetary system as the present session has been given over to the revision of the tariff.
 Several prospective candidates are men toned for the vacancy in the Sixth congresson- al district of Illinois caused by the elevation of William Lorimer to the United States.
 Former Senator Thomas c. Patt of New York is one of the very few public men of na- tonal prominence who have never visited Flu rope. For many years Mr. PIatt spent his va cations at Manhattan Beach. This summer he decided upon change of base and is living quietly in the town of Freehold N. J.
 Back of the murmurs heard concerning the approaching municipal campaign in New York there is great curiosity concerning the success sor of Chauncey M. Depew in the United States senate. It is already known that Herbert Par sons and Timothy l.. Woodruff are both aspi- rants for the place of Senator Depew, whose term expires March 3. 1911.
 Representative John K. Tener of Pennsyl- vania is the talest member of congress Mir. Tener is sedate banker and among the many visitors in the house gallery only few oldtime baseball enthusiasts recognize in him the for mer diamond star, Jack Tener, who was once one of the best known pitchers in the National league
 Failure of congress to provide in advance for the organization of the force required to take the next census will result in many of the ap- pointments being made during the recess of congress. In making the list the supervisors and special agents in the south will largely be chosen upon the recommendation of the rerubli- can referees in those states. Just what the portion will be in the distribution between ad- herents of the two parties will not be known in advance of the completion of the lists
 William F. Baker, the successor of General Theodore A. Bingham as police commissioner of New York, has had more experience in office holding than in police matters. though he h1S been connected with the force for lonc vie. The prevailing opinion seems to he that Mr. Bakers appointment was dictated by politics and that it means renewal of the friendship between Mayor Mcclellan ond "Boss" Murphy of Tammany hall, and harmony between Me Carron, the Brooklyn democratic leader. and Murphy. the combination having in mind the coming fall election for mayor and other of ficas of New York city.
