recommending to th atata republican con
vention ' the endorsement of candidate
. for United State senator liaa certainly
iej lot of la lev ?r and against th
pTvyealtlon, and So far the sentiment la by
no mean unanimous for following tha rec
ommendation of the committee.
It la talked on one aide of tha proportion
that euch a course would do away with the
flsht In the legislature and would give the
people a greater opportunity for having a
Jiahd In selecting their iator. On the
other hand, the proposition 1 not meeting
Ith-favorbecaus. It la argued that were
a candidate to be named thla early In the
campaign he would attract all of the fire of
the opposition, and while there ere seversi
republicans In the state who would malts
good senatorial timber, there are among
th m those who would not make a great
effort to elect the man whorn the conven
tion endorsail. In the meantime the fuslort
lsta will concentrate their effort to cap
ture the legislature, and with some ofthe
republican leader lukewarm they might
atand a ahow of doing so. Again, If It Is
not known who will be selected every re
publican who ha the senatorial fever would
do his level best to see that the legislature
Is republican. In this district It la the gen
eral belief that the state convention, ahould
It endorse any one, will give the endorse
ment to Congressman E. J. IiurWett, and It

party charged with an Increase of M

The records of the auditor's office show
a good reason for the Increase of tha state

were necessary owing to the growth of the
state and for the payment of debts that
had been contracted by the fusion admin

WASHINGTON, Jan. !4.-(Bpeclal.)-The
national capital will, during the next few
days, contain a score of men Interested In
pending shipping legislation, many of 'whom
ore known throughout the country.
There are three Important shipping bills
now pending In congress. Representative
Gardner's bill to create a commission to
study the subject of American, shipping
and report to congrea at ita next session,
beginning In ' December; Senator Fryo'
bill, extending the coastwise lws of the
Vnlted Btates to the trade Vlth the Phil
ippine Inlands, so that all commerce be
tween the United State and the Philip
pines shall be carried In American bot
toms, and Senstor Frye'a bill confining the
shipment of war and naval Stores of (he
Vnlted States exclusively to American ves
sels. ' ,
These bill have been favorably reported
to one or'the other house of congress and
are on the calendar.,
There Is a divided sentiment regarding
Senator' Frye's bills.- Some people assert
that the Frye bill, limiting transportation
of war material and naval stores to Atner

modified. In New York and possibly In

parties agreed. April 18, 1901, there were

cases were filed, making a total of 9,978 !

Jt I believed that Burkett will consider a
long time before risking a shot at It.'
i Comaaltteesnea All Candidates.
In the meantime a humorous situation
i has come to light in the veteran repuoucsn
club, which was the first to Jump in the

has got together and appointed a commit
tee, ostensibly to select a candidate for

From a careful examination of the sub

In both house. There I a great deal of

before Senator Quay left on Thursday for
his Florida home. An agreement was en

on territories t6 do nothing with this bill
until after the senator' return. It Is then
understood he will Introduce a bill making

course these bin will be fought In some
quarters, but that Senator Quay haa lent
