Eloht Over Leadership.

WASHINGTON, March 6. The minority leadership in the senate, which was laid down Saturday when Senator Money retired from the senate, was the stake for which the Democrats played and which re- suited in the designation of Senator Bailey of Texas from the senate.
 The Stone faction, or those who favored Senator Stone of Missouri for the place, was determined that Senator Bailey should not be a contender for the place. Senator Bailey offered his resignation to VicePresident Sherman, who refus- ed to accept it, after which Bailey wired his resignation to Governor Colquit, of Texas, who refused to accept 1t and asked Senator Bailey to withdraw 1t.
 Before adjournment, the special committee of the house appointed to investigate the charges of improper lobbying for the ship subsidy bill reported to the senate that there had been no improper influences used for or against the measure.
 The senate received the nomina- tion of Eller Colwell, for United States marshal for Oregon, and Ad- miral Dewey was rendered congrat' ulations upon his 18th anniversary Of his appointment as admiral.

 The new tariffs will become ef- fective April 1. If an appeal is granted 1t will be to the governor general in council. virtually the Canadian cabinet The railway act permits such an appeal, as matter of fact. If the appeal is granted the new tariff will be deferred for decision, which will probably mean that there will be no change in the rate this year, thus cutting off all hopes of Fairbanks-Iditarod- Dawson traffic upon reasonable rates on through business via the upper Yukon.
