International shuttlecock and buttle ,i-re over China, ih# i>olttlclans are for-c --g oompalgn tcsues Into prominence. The Mettled condition of the Chinese sltua non and the realisation that no deltnlte period I* In tilth! for a tlnal adjustment of the . onltl. tine Interests there, has crowded the Chinese subject oft of tbe (rent page of the leading newspapers of ill. country and given tha right of way in national politics. Here In Washington, the greatest In terest centers around the contest In New York. Nearly oil the principal characters In both political parties In the Empire State arc well known In public life at the capital, besides there 1* a general belief that New York will hold the balance of power In deciding whether McKinley shall continue lo reside In the executive man rant four years longer, or whether he will he obliged to move back to his modest lit tle home In Canton to make way for WJIlMtm Jennings Bryan and family. Washingtonians are especially Interest ed In the political fate of the Hon. Ben jamin Odell, nominated for governor by the Kepuhlleann. During the latter's Congressional career he displayed re markable tael, excellent Judgment and managed lo Impress himself upon his as sociates as a man of more than ordinary executive ability. While he seldom par ticipated Ur the debates In the House when great party (pieatlons were In volved, he Invariably came to the front with practical business suggestions and assisted In making them effective with out making himself |>er*onully offirtoun. The New York delegation looked to hint for counsel and advtce. and but for Ills quiet and unostentatious personality, be might have been much more of u na tional ttgure than he Is to-day. As o member of the Committee on the District of Columbia he endeared himself to Wash ingtonians by bis straightforward, con servative, hut strictly business methods In dealing with local questions thx-lally. Mr. mlel! and his family occupied a high position and they would have undoubted ly figured more conspicuously In official circles while here but for the death of one of their children soon after taking up their residence here. Mrs. ltdcil haa a large circle of admiring friends who predict that she would make an Ideal and gr/icloua mlstrcwt of the executive mansion at Albany. It remains to bo -ecu whether the voters of the Empire elate consider 'Mr. tided on his merits or whether they will deal with him at the polls as a mere understudy for Bose Platt. I*lll Vs. Murphy. In Democratic circle* unusual Interest centers around the contest between David Itenttelt Hill and his former bosom friend and imnate. Edward Murphy. Jr. White members of the Senate, Mr. Hill and M.. Morphy maintained the most cordial per eantil relations up to the time of their F|gu over the Gorman and Wilson tariff hill. Prior to that event they found much pleasure In each other's society, and weie frequently seen dining together at the rspltol. attending theatrical performances, witnessing baseball games and indulging in ..thar pastimes when not engaged in itt*ii dflklil dhltkM. Although Mr Hill do** not posne** <ne same amount of ••sporting Mood." which Mr Murphy enjoys. It so h.a|>t>oned that both of them were enthusiastic admirers of the national f.imo—baaebotl. During the baseball season. Senator* Murphy. Hill and Smith of New Jersey, were regular attendant* at the league gomes, played a; National Park. H was the custom for a long lime of this distinguished trio to have the capMol every afternoon about 4 o'clock for the bail game. They had an understanding with a colored hackmin, who usually stood at the east front of the mpitol. The latter’s name was Alfred Taylor Murray, are I his regular employ ment by Senator HUI soon gave him tho nickname of "Murray Hill". Murray Is unique apeclraen of the colored Wash ington cab driver, and tie soon establish ed confidential relations with the New York Senators. It finally resulted In £--n.tor Smith nk-ktjamlng him “Murphy Hill." a title winch remains with him to this day. (.Harassed the Tariff. One afternoon, while en route to the hall game, the three senators were dis cussing the tariff light then In progress In the Senate. Murray followed the con vernations closely ami auoti (Uncovered that Senators Murphy and Smith differed with Senator Hill on certain features of the bill. The discussion was carried on In a good natures! way, and finally Sena tor HUI playfully asked the dusky coetch nawi for his opinion on the tariff question. ''You seem to be pretty well Informed on all subjects, Murray." said Senator Hill. "Now, what do you think about a duty on torn bread and possum meat?" Murray scratched his kinky head and rrinnlngly replied: "Senator, I hatea to ' ensign myaelf on de tariff question, 'cause It Is a subject which ptizxle* so called statesmen." The humor of the reply van appreciated by all present. and (he reeult was a unan imous vote that Senator Hill should [my the admission to the ball around and also tor the transportation furnished by Mur ray. Murray still drives his cab from the east front of the Capitol, and as a me mrnto of his confidential relations with 'he three senator snamed, he wears an old plug hat .now weather beaten ami rusty, which Senator Murphy bestowed upon him one afternoon after a summer windstorm had wafted Murray's head coverlnn to destruction. Murray continues to take an Interest In New York politics, and he has In stock a large supply of In teresting reminiscences picked up while driving Benator* Hill and Murphy to and from the ball games. Murphy for Governor. The suggestion that Benator Murphy may he named as the Democratic candi date for Governor to run ugalnst Mr. Odell gives additional local interest here 1" the New York campaign. While Sen ator Hill made a brilliant record during the debates In the Senate, hta colleague, Benator Murphy, had more Influence In Democratic counsels, and was regarded at a safer and more valuable adviser when great questions were under consideration. Ills committee assignment* were better than those given to Senator Hill and. al though not a debater. Senator Murphy was the equal of Senator Platt In aucceas fully looking after New Ycrk Interests In the Senate. Then, as now. Democratic senator* looked upon Senator Murphy as the real brains of the Democratic party In Ihc Empire State. As n Democratic "nator remarked a few days ago In dis cussing New York politics: Hill and Oroker represent the bluster while Murphy possesses more brains, po litical sagacity ami commonsense than Dill and Croker combined."

The passenger depart ments of Ihe various linos Interested are busy with their advertising matter, and the soik-liora an looking out for Ihe pros pective passengers to Induce them lo trav el by their lines. It chances that the celebrations come In a hunch, all following fast upon one an other. This month, next month and No vember will lie devoted to the shows, und opportunity will be given thoee anxious for sight-seeing to visit the larger towns of their neighborhood. Lists of the fairs and carnival* have been prepared by tha general passenger department*, and ar rangements for properly ivorklng up an at. tendance for them all are afoot, „ Leading the Hat Is tbe fltreet and Agri cultural Fair, to he held In Macon Bept. 24-29. A rate of ate fare from all Georgia points has been authorised. The Athens Carnival will be held Oct, 1-9.

The merchant* and business men of the city would enter much more willingly Into the arrangements for the Elks’ affair If a cheap rate were named by the rail roads. Many visitors would mean Increas ed business,,and the Carnival would take on a far more Important phase If ihe local patronage were added to from a dis tance. WOT OW % BOrf TICKET.

Ten minutes after receiv ing the report of the departure of that water train I glanred al the old sheet. What t saw sent Ihe blood to my h*d with a rush, for away up In one corner of the she-1 I saw lhat an extra was coming east. I had aenae enough left to call up that station frun which the wa ter train had Just departed tn the ’hope that tt might have lingered In Ihe yard and might still be stopped by the switch men. But It was too lute. What could I do? There was not another night office on that part of the division and two trains were rushing toward each other with nothing to warn them of the wreck that I knew must occur. ’’l have heard of men’s hair turning white In a single night and I have read of others being driven mad under condi tion* more favorable than those through which I llvsd for two hours that Au gust night." It was becoming Ihteresilng. Several outsiders moved Ihetr chair* closer to that of the speaker and the clerk so far forgot hla dignity as to Join the group A Dramatic Reetlal. a “For 1® minute*." continued the ex-dla pateher, "I lived over every smallest de tail of my life. 1 followed those trains, mentally, over every Inch of the divis ion I knew Just about where they must come together. It would occur on a sharp curve where neither would see the other until It would be Impossible to slop. I could see the agony on the face* of the engineer* and the firemen as they caught one flash of the headlights; and then came Ihe crash, the escaping steam, Ihe grind ing and creaking of broken Umbers But overall I heard theories and groan* of Injured men. and every one of them was a friend of mine. "For two hour* I was obliged to con tinue sending orders to forty or fifty tralna on other parts of the road and all the time I waa walling for the message that would contain the detail* of the rol llston. I tell you. gentlemen." here the white-haired man rose to hla feet, stirred by the recollection. "I wouldn’t live that night over again for all the world. I couldn’t tell you In an hour of all the thoughts that crowded to my mind as I worked and walled. Nearly all the men composing the’crew* on these two trains were married; I knew their wives and their children. I had grown up among them. And before the break of day. I thought, they would tie widows and orphans; and I. I should never dare to look them In the face again. Perhaps the l*4v would punish me. Here the Idea oc curred to me that I must escape; It didn’t matter where I went. 1 only wanted to go where I should not be seen by those who knew of my crlmlnul carelessness. About 3 o'clock I had figured that In a few moment# I should know the worst By that time I was no longer lit Ip handle tralna. and although I had said no word to n.y call hoy he knew that something waa wring, and without consulting me awoke th chief dispatcher. I remem hee>d saelng Johnny come Into the office; then, I tuay aa well confess It, I laid down on the counter, or someone put me (here. The next thing I knew was that water was being dashed Into my fare and the chief we* saying ’Tome, otd man; It's all right; they didn’t hit; they met at Ludlow." The climax was dramatic. Every man In tha party sal bolt upright to catch Ih* laat aentenrea. for the ▼nice of the general manager waa husky with emo tion. ”! never sent another train order In my life; I never shall. That,” said the speaker, s* he arose and motioned To the clerk* for hi# key, “was how I ran train* and allowed Them to arrange their own meeting point.
