UP TO U. S. SENATE

Washington, September Ex-Governor
sanders's appointment of Judge j. r.
Thornton as Senator from Louisiana
probably Will be questioned when the
Congress assemblies in December.
The appointment was made to fill
vacancy occasioned by the death of
Senator McEnery, which occurred a
Congress last June. The Louisiana
Legislature was in session at the time.
and Governor Sanders was elected to
succeed the deceased Senator. De.
string, however. to devote his energies
to the proposed Panama Canal expo
sition in New Orleans, the Governor
has resigned the office of Senator. and
as Governor has appointed Mr.. Thorn
ton to be Senator. 1t is contended
that the proceeding violates the rule
laid down in the Quay case. which was
that Governor of State has no
power to make temporary appoint.
ment as Senator to fill vacancy
which may have happened whes the
Legislature OF the State was in Sos.
sion. Having resigned while the Penn
sy1vania Legislature was in session,
Mr.. Quay sought reelection. Failing
in this effort. he was given an app
pointment by the Governor. BY a
majority of one, on vote of sixty
FIVE. the Senate refused to award the
| seat to him.
| The action was taken on construc-
ton of the constitutional provision that
II vacancies happen, "by reason of res.
ignation or otherwise. during the re-
| cess of the Legislature of any State
the Executive thereof may make tenn
porary appointments until the next
| meeting Of the Legislature which shall
then fill such vacancies
Inasmuch as the Legislature was in
session when McEnery died. 1t is as
| serted by some that under no cir
cumstances could the Governor fill the
vacancy. Others argue. however. that
this requirement. was met in the cleo
ton of Governor Sanders himself.
There was no irregularity in his cleo
ton. they say, and contending that
Sanders became a Senator upon his
election. they urge that the presen. va
cancy befell when he resigned, which
took place when the Legislature was
not in session.
In this view of the subject, the de-
| termination might depend upon the
construction of the question as to
whether. under the law. a Senator elect
becomes a Senator before he takes the
oath OF office.

Virginia Commanders at Gettys-
burg May Make Too Long
a List.

Acting at the request of Colonel
Thomas Smith, of Warrenton. secre-
tary of the Gettysburg Monument Com
mission, Colonel Joseph v, Bidgood,
secretary OF Virginia Military Records.
has about completed the roster of COM
manders of this State who took part
in the battle. It Is contemplated to
put this list on the sides of the shaft.
The roster will. however, perhaps be
curtailed on account of itsA length.
Many sheets OF paper are covered with
the names. and 1t is not unlikely that
the list is too long to be accommodate
ed on the monument.
Beginning with General Robert Il.
Lee. Colonel Bidgood has taken the
division commanders next. General
Pickett and his staff are named, then
come the other general officers with
their stats. The names of regimental
commanders are also given. OF course,
IN every instance no names are record
ed save these Of Virginians, as the
monument Is to he erected in honor of
the Gettysburg soldiers from this
State only.
Will Publish List.
AS soon as the list is complete, 1t
will be published III the newspapers
by the Gettysburg Monument Commits
sion, and every person may then Scru-
| tinize 1t and suggest corrections. It
is likely that the roster contains some
names Of persons who We're not at the
battle. while, on the other hand, 1T
may be incomplete.
In reference to this matter, visitors
4 to the Gettysburg battlefield during
1.-the recent military manoeuvres were
rather surprised to find that as yet no
Southern State has placed q monument
on the ground, although many States
of the North have done so. The only
southern shaft there is regimental
one, erected to the memory OF one Of

Little Sam Hill had an older broth

show. His brothers. name was Signor
Tomtomasso del Montabellissimo, the
Human Flute, but little Sans name

whistle q note.

next day she came with three bottles

profession OF milkman, and was Q
very good milkman indeed. His red
wagon. his white cream and his blue
milk formed so delightful a combina-
ton that he was everywhere known
as 'Bunko Hill, the patriotic milk
man" About this time a terrible war

for protection. The bears had land
