Appointment Successor.
Washington, l>. C., Aug. !>.—
The death of Senator Johnson, of
Alabama, last night, has caused
much apprehension among I tie
Democrats, as I lie spit over the
sugar schedule leaves the Dem
ocratic party with but one ma
jority. The members of the ma
jority insist (hat Gov. Smith im
mediately appoint a successor to
Senator Johnson, hut under the
new direct primary law no pro
vison is made for filling vacan
cies and an election must be
held, which will require several
weehs and possibly longer.
The nearness of the vote on
the sugar item; the fear that one
•senator might be ill or that, an
accident may occi|rr and the still
greater fear that one Democrat
ic senator now in favor of sugar
may change his opinion ad block
the passage of the schedule, has
caused the leaders Ip insist on
an immed*a*e appointment.

The tariff debate is expected U
last into the nibble of Septem

The tight in the Senate over
the sugar schedule apd the wool
rate, the death of Senator John
son reducing the majority; the
jong tight when the bill goes to
conference to adjust the differ
