Washington, Nov. 23. —Congressmen
are collecting here rapidly, and it looks as
it ne-riy all cf them would be present w het
Congress meets. There are s me i terest
irgit riPi afl at as to bow some cf those
who wi l nut be in the next congress were
defeated.
Carter of Mon'ana, one cf tfce defeated.
t?iis ;his -t ry at the expo; se of JicKt ley:
McKinley ad C trttr were a: a h >,el at
Chicago just after the election, neither of
them feeiing very ha py, but each ke n
i: g cs far as po-stble from the matter
which was occupying bis mind. While
trey were standing together talking ab .ut
the weather and such other topics as bad
r.o relation to t.eir recent grief, Cannon of
Illinois came in.
•‘Why, I e !o, Mac; how are you Carter*”
be raid, seiz.ng a Band of each.
They replied th it they hud never felt
better in tke;r lives.
“ W ell. hat do you think of it?” asked
tfce Illinois man.
“Of what!” asked McKinley, with firm
countenance.
Cannon suggested that there had been an
electi on, ana it was that he had on his
min I.
“Ob, yes,” said McKinley, “I am quito
well satisfied. I cut the democratic ma
jority of 2,000 and w.i to almost nothing. I
am quite content to not bo in the next
Hou.-e. The democrats will have an over
wi elming rnaj irtty; it will be ave y no.sy
and disagreeable congress, and lam well
pie -ed to stay home tor the time.”
Cannon 100. ed at him a long time and
steadily to judge if he was in < arnest. There
could be no doubt about it, he meant to bo
believtd.
“See here, Mae,” said Cannon, after a
pau-e, “ hat's exactly what I told ray people
down ir> Danville. I was satisfied. I was
glad of it. Bat see here, there is no u-e of
our lying among our three selves here.”
A republican member was twitting
Springer tue o;her day stout the way Mc-
Kinley had reduced h derm cratic majority
in the Sixteenth Ohio distr.ct.
“That’s a 1 light,” replied Springer, "but
do you k:.o v a man in ms bare feet came
out fa mud house down in No raska a
little Line before the election an i overcame
a majority of 11,000, defeating your candi
da e for congress, who was a millionaire*”
Springer tells another story illustrative of
the sentiment which prevailed in the iva t
during the cam; algn. In one of the Kansas
districts here- he spoke the republicans
were t uninng a man who had high social
standing, was rich, and had ti e reputation
Of being one of the most eloquent speakers
as well os ore < f the most fastidious men iu
the sta e. The di ti i t wa> strongly repub
lican, ar:d a poor farm rs’ alliance candi
date was running against him. The repub
lican made many great speeches during the
campaign, but did not talk tariff. He was
al ways eleque t over war history. The alli
ance candidate was no talker. He wore
home-spun cl this which had sem
J ng service. His trousers were about
up ~ to his shoe tops, and his
shoes were heavy and rough. He
always followed behind his opposing cand.-
da e. The i eoublican would make an e! >-
Qiient so ecu about the war, and then pis
cn to the next place for speaking. The
eliiance candidate would get up t>efo e the
sam-a die ee. "I taint speak as l e kain,”
he would begin, ref. rnng to ms opponeut.
“I don’t know much about the tariff. I
guess he knows a lot more ab ut it than I
do. That’s why he never sa- s anything
a! out it. But this Id > know”—then he
would put out one foot and tug up at his
trousers—“lie wears silk s ockuigs. I ain’t
got' n anv socks a: all, nor dra-.ers nutber.
That’s what he tariff has d>. e forme.
That’s wl.at it is doing for all of yo i.” The
ali.ance man was elected to congress by a
goodmaj rity.
Tfcere !ive= out iu Joe Cannon’s district in
Illinois an old farmer .' bo is a zealous re
publican, one of the red-liot parti an stripe.
When he heard of Cano n’s defeat he said
to his wife, who is o e of these women who
obey their lord and master blindly:
“Mary, pack up everything. I’m going
to move.”
“Why?” asked Mary.
“Because Joe Cannon is beat and I won’t
live i:i a democratic disr.ct.”
“Very well,” said Mary, with a little re
signed sigh.
Then the old man went to town to fell lus
farm. There he heard all the election news.
He returned home, and, entering the house,
sad:
“Mary, yon enn quit packing up. I ain’t
a-going to move.”
“WhyT’ inquired Ma t -y.
“Because,” he repl.ed, sadly, “there’s no
place to move to.”

he said:
"Isn’t it strange that everyb dv knows

WORK ON THE CANAL.
Capt. Roundtree Talks Interestingly
cn tte Work in .dcaragui.
Fro n the Jacksonville (Fla. i Times-Union.
Capf. Rou dt:ee, the superintvnaent of
the North American Dredge Company,
who acc mpanied the b g tow toGreytown,
Nicaragua, and arrived In Jacksonville on
hi- way back last Tuesday, imparted to a
Times-Unioa man while here soma very in
terest! g i formatio i nbju. the projp'e s of
the canal work there.
Tue harbor of Grevtown, which war
formerly an excellent ore, witn deep water,
has bee i gradually filling up until a bar
had firmed in the o ter barb iroi su ah di
mensioua as to prevent tr.e entrance of
e.'ea ligh draught v-ssels. The stea n
tugs Haviland and Heiporshausen were
unable to cross it unttl it bad been dredged.
The dredges Pave b.en at work oa itatmos
continually of late, and at the rime the tugs
left there, Nov. 10, there was a uniform
death of seven feet f water. n the bar, and
this depth istb.-ing rapidly increased.
Fr ut Grevtown to the San Juan river
the distance is fourteen miles in a direct
li ie. The canal is i>eing cat from tee town
tithe river, which is the gulf outlet of
Lake Nicaragua. The dredger-are now at
work upo i this canal from th i G. eytown
end, and the work is progressing rapidly.
In order to facilitate tbe work a railroad
has been cocstruc ed from the town to
the river, parallel to and border
ing on the cana', for . he purpose of hauling
the vast amount of material used in the
con-truoii in of tbe canal and for aff u ding
rapid transit brt veen the tw > points. This
rad is well craded an 1 ironed, and is
amply equipped "ith rolling stock. Thera
will be three l .cks in this canal when com
pleted, a'd its width and depth will enable
i to float the iarg.-st ships in the world a:
the i re a it time.
From the canal te-minns to Lalto Nica
ragua the c .urse is through the San Juan
river, a devious one, and unuavigabe in
many p aces. It will have to lie dre ig and
throughout its entire length, and stra gh -
ened at many poi nts. From the lake to
tbe canal terminus the San Juan has a fa l
of 110 fe<f. There are numerous rapids
which during the raiuv seas n, when the
stream is swollen, will offer no obstacle to
tne passage of vessels, but whe t the water
is low they will be tmpassab’e. The pla i
of the c inal e •mpnny is to construct a da n
across the river bel .w the canal outlet, in
order to s > raise the level of the water as to
make the rani is navig ,ble.
l he whole distance from Greytown to the
Pa"ific outlet, through cn ml. river, lak
aud canal again, is ltD 3-10 miles.
At present there are tw > dredges aud f mr
screws at work in Dreytown harb >r. Ihe
tugs are now on '.heir way nor.h to take ad
ditional ones out to Nicarag ia.

ters. i>e is Stewart is coning from Illi
nois. Mr. Stewart 1 ab ut 55. has a large
family, is fin< ly educa ed, has traveled ex
tensive v, and w 11 be the mod e'centric
m mber of the Fiftv-sec nd conertss.
Ho doe. not perm.: a carpet or a s'ove in
tfe tine house in w:.. h be ive> in Aurora
111. One of his rul-s is to alio v his tioys no
sper.di g money. He gives them credit at
certain etor said i o:s tte biiis. Two'f
tno younger sons deveto ed great apitude
for fisui ,g not 1 ag ago. Thev po
duced strings of fi-h widen made the oil
gentleman proud cf their success. Nut
lo ig af eraurd a bill for #25 ca ne
from a h ird a are store. It was paid. The
old man a-k-d bis vi its w hat it meant. She
couldn’t tell. Hi investigated anl fou and
bis boy* bad bo ignt #25 wort a of “fishi g
tackle,” and had lone a trading business for
fisn with all of tne biys l i tne aeighoor
ti'.od. The bill was framed, and it now
ha gs iu theSteeart libra-y. withtnis com-
ment in the handwriting of t_e lather:
“My boys pro e ti be liars.”
The e dest son is rnar.ied. He aid his
wifo live iu the big norni with the polished
oars fio * s a id the open lirop.aees. Ta:s son
is treate i ju-t as his y. unger brothers are.
He acts as business manager and
collects rer.ts for iis father, but he
:as no separata cc unit When he
wants money he goes to the patriarch
ad gets much or little, accodiig to the
humor. Nut long ag > tne son got ready to
g to Chicago oa business for his fa'her.
When he asked for an advance on expense
account he was banned j.i 50, net enough
foria lroad tickets. He quietly applied to
his mother, and she made un the amount
nec3ss ry. At anotner time the old gentle
man handed out tea times a. much for the
same purpose.
There is a little Mne b w in the family
vrhi's a general pe’. Hr. Stewa tto >k the
child to In lianap .iis to b. t eated at some
msiit .te. T.e it'Tc c:.ao b came home lek,
limped away, got on t le cars and begged
his passage home. Tne father ruled tnat
tne boy must go lack. The mother wanted
to go with him. 1 is was forbidden. The
b>y was put on the train and sent back
alone lo I diariap l.s. A weak later the
mother was sent t keep bi n compa iy.
This exceedingly ocs r ina‘e aid bad-tem
pered ina.i ci i be very kiiid-hearied when
re chooses. He has got land enough to make
a strip six fe.-t wide and 25,000 miles long.
His te :atits manage to get along very well
with hi o after they lea n hi- ways. A rule
of this queer household is that the serva ts
must deli ier to calle s the exac message
give i the n. D iring the late campaign,
which elected Mr. Stewart to congress,
a prominent democratic politician
ca led ana sent in his na me. The
servant returned with Mr. Stan art’s reply,
which was: “Tell him to go to The
candidate afterward explained that ha di 1
not recognize the name and mistook the
caller for a new-proer man. He ::as arn st
unconquerable avers:o:i to reporters. Dur
i ig tbe campaign he refused to put up a
dal ar, saying taat tne office should seek the
man. He even rep i lin ed the assessment
for printing the ticks s, tailing th room ni.-
:ee that voters c > ;Id write his name on
their tickets or leave it off, just as they
pie se I. Ye: this democratic curiosity was
