Senator Edmunds’ Retirement-
The retirement of the great Vermont ‘
senator, though not unexpected, has
given quite an'impetus to pciitical gos-
sip and has especially callel attention
to the reorganization of at least three of
the most important committees of the
Senate, which . it will necessarily in—
volve. He was chairman of the Com-
mittee on the Judiciary, the most
powerful committee in the Senate and
the most conservative. That commit-
tee passes upon the qualifications of
every judicial Ofi‘icer nominated by the
President, from Supreme Court Judges
down all along the line, and has almost
absolute control of measures pending
before the Senate affecting the organic
laws of the land.
The organization Of that committee
has not been changed for many years.
Mr. Edmunds has been its autocratic
chairman for at least ten years, andper-
haps longer. As such he has prepared
and reported the bill which broke up
he political hierarchy and made polyg-
1my so dangerous that it has substan-
tially been abandoned. He has caused
the withdr l of the name of more ,
thigh one
the position of Chief Justice of the
United States, and has wielded a pow er'
second to no other SenatOI by virtue l
of the position which his resignation 2
now leaves vacant.
Next in line of succession to him
would have been Senator Ingalls of 1
Kansas, if the irony of fate had not re- :
placed him by Pefi‘er. Mr. Ingalls’s
defeat for re-election leaves Senator
Hoar Of Massachusetts next in the ’line/
of promotion. Mr. Hoar is already
chairman of the Committee on Privil-
eges and Elections, but it is thought
that he would be willing to exchange .
its somewhat thankless duties (espec-
ially since the failure Of the Senate to
pass the Elections bill which he re-
ported) for the higher and more con- '
genial position of chairman of the Judi l
ciary Committee._
His ascension to that office would
render undisputed his leadership in the
Senate, which was somewhat thrown
in question when Mr. Manderson of
Nebraska was elected as President pro
tem. in opposition‘to Mr. Hoar’s aspir—
ations. If, as anticipated, the Massa-
chusetts Senator should succeed the
Vermonter at the head of the Judiciary
Committee he would of necessity vacate
his position of chairman Of the Elections
Committee. ‘
Senator Frye Of Maine is next in line
of succession, but Mr. Frye is now
chairman of the Committee on Com-
merce. That is his ideal chairmanship,
for which he was an aspirant many
years before it finally fell within his
grasp, and it is believed he would not
let go his hold on that committee for
any position which could be offered
him short of the presidency.
Next in rank to Mr. Frye is Mr. Tel-
ler Of Colorado, who, when in the Sen-
ate nearly fiftteen years ago, distin-
guished himself by conducting an able
and thorough investigation into election
methods in the southern states. He
would be a very suitable successor to
Mr. Hoar on the Elections Committee.
Mr. Edmunds’s retirement will also
disarrange the Foreign Relations Com-
mittee, on which he stood second, Mr.
Sherman of Ohio being chairman.
There are only tw0 other republicans
left on the committee—namely, Messrs.
Frye and Dolph—Mr. Evarts and Mr.
Spooner having both failed of re-elec-
tion. On the democratic side there has
been a clean sweep, except in the ease
of Senator Morgan of Alabama. There
is no Senator whose retirement at this
time could have created a greater stir
than that of Senator Edmunds, so all
these considerations of course lend
added interest to thegspeculation as to
who will be appointed his successor'

THE BASEBALL ARENA.
eat lawyeI nominated for ,
The championship baseball season has
been opened by the American association
in great shape. The attendance at all the
games was large, and if the enthusiasm
that prevailed all around is to be taken as
a criterion the season will be highly suc-
cessful.
King Kelly signalized the event by kick-
mg in such an approved style 1n the game
with the Browns that he was ordered Ofl‘f
fieldn 1n e fifth' inning by the umpire,
ley ta‘: his place. At the end of
e ninth ning the- game stood7 to 7, but
the Cincinnatis so glaringly played delay
for darkness that the umpire gave the
game to the Browns—9 to 0.
The season will close on Oct. 5, and each
club will play 140 games. The following
are the scores of the opening games:
At Philadelphia—TV ashington, 9; Ath-
letic, 8. At Baltimore—Baltimore, 11; Bos-
ton, 7. At St. Louis—St. Louis, 7; Cin-
cinnati, 7. (Forfeited to St. Louis.) At
Louisville—Louisville, 7; Columbus, 6.
The National league championship will
open on April 22 and close on Oct. 3. Each
club will play 140 games.
The C. B. and Q. Must Come to Time.
NEW YORK, April 10.—The Sun says the
board of rulings promises a surprise for
railroad men, which, it is said, will equal
the declaration of war against the Chicago
and Alton. The board was in secret ses-
sion, and from an inside source it was
learned that the surprise may be a similar
boycott of the Chicago, Builington and
Quincy, which was given twenty-four
hours to come to time and forswear com-
missions.

WASHINGTON, April 10. —General Spinola

The Leader, of the Manipuris Say the
British Forces Threw Living ““0111-
en and Children into Burning
Houses—Another I Battle.
CALCUTTA, April 10.--The text of the let-
ter which was yesterday received at Simla
from the leader Of the Manipuris who re-
cently massacred Chief Commissioner
Quinton and his party has been published
there. In it the Manipuri chief says:
“The British attacked my palace, mas-
sacred my soldiers and their women and
children. They threw living women and
children into the flames of their burning
houses and desecrated the temples. There-
fore I killed the chief commissioner’s party,
which was composed of , Commissioner
Quinton, Colonel ,Skere, Lieutenant Simp-
son and the civilians Cossins, GrimwoOd
and Melville.” .
Lieutenant Grant and Captain Presgrave,
. who it was feared had been killed, are now
reported as being alive and safe.
The Manipuris Repnlsed.
A dispatch from Simla says that the
Manipuris have made another desperate
' attack upon the weak detachment of Ghoor- .
' kas commanded by Lieutenant Grant,
= which recently captured Fort Thabet after
a stubborn fight with over ten times their
number. ‘
The Manipuri advance was vigorously
conducted, .the natives facing a destructive
f fire with remarkable courage and forcing
i the assault with the utmost gallantry.
The engagement lasted three hours and
concluded 'with the repulse of the Mani-,
puris. The usurping rajah and two promi-
nent chiefs of the insurrectionists were
killed during the battle. The loss in killed
and wounded of the tribesmen is very
heavy.
Ready to Surrender.
The dispatch adds that Captain Pres-
grave has arrived at Fort Thabet with the
anxiously expected re- -enforcements. This
fact, added to Lieutenant Grant’s victory,
has broken the spirit of the Manipuris,
and they have signified their readiness to
surrender to the authority of the British
officials as soon as the British troops re-
enter Manipur.
Further re-enforcements of troops are
making their way to Manipur, and the
‘ massacre of the Ghoorkas and the subse-
quent fate of Chief Gommissiouer Quin-
ton and his companions will be promptly
and thoroughly investigated.

Town Lots in Lieu of Love.
CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., April 10.—Miller
and Corra Sherry, residents of Dublin,
Ind, have dissolved their marriage rela-
tions, the husband accepting two unim-
proved town lots in that village in lieu of
his wife’s afiections. He was impecuni
ous, but she had property. The conditions
in the deed are that he relinquish his en-
tire interest in her and her property, and
an agreement that she may have a divorce.
The court will have to decide as to the
legality of the agreement. 4
