NEW STATES HAVE
VERY POOR CHANCE
FIGHI BIG
WAGED ON THEM
—t —
SENATE SENTIMENT IS UNFAVOR
ABLE BUT SOME HOPE STILL
REMAINS AND THE MEASURE
MAY YET PASS.
SENATOR FRYE ONLY LEAVES
THE CHAIR TO TALK ON THE
SHIPPING BILL—YOUNG SAMP
SON’S TROUBLES.
iWasMngttmj, 'May 3. —Although
the house committee on tue ter
ritories has agreed to report a hill
viding for the admission ns states of
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma,
the actual ndililion of three new stars
to the Hug is very rem .to. Aside from
the introduction of hills for the ad
mission of these territories nothing has
been done in the senate, and there is
yet no guaranty that time will tie given
in the house for consideration of tlte
hills. 1 do not mean to imply Unit the
house is short of time, but "time'’ in
these eases means consent of the
speaker that the bills shall lie acted
upon. The house has "time to burn,”
but it requires consent of the "powers
of the house" to obtain a portion of it
to consider hills. Senator Beveridge,
chairman of the senate eominitio n
territories, says he has been so en
grossed with Philippine legislali.n
that lie has not had time to give con
sideration to the admission bills, it
might be well, lie says, to have tin
house pass the bills tirst, and then the
senate can see what shall In* do .<•
about them. Possibly some basic could
be made by reporting the bills in the
senate, but there lias m,t been very
much anxiety shown in the upper
branch of congress regarding the prop.,
sition to admit three more states. In
the house the sentiment lias been work
ed ii]) bv the energetic delegates, Smith
of Arizona. Itodey of New Mexico and
Flynn of Oklahoma.
A Strong Congress.
Mark IT. Dunnell, who was n rrpre
scuta live from Minnesota Ihirtv-one
years ago, calls attention to the mm, - r
of great men who were members of
the Forty-second congress, which as
sembled in March, 1871. Blaine was
speaker, and in the congress were Hoar,
Hawley, Hale and Frye, now senators.
John H. Keteliani of New York is the
only man now in the house who was a
member at that time. Among the oth
ers Mr. Dunnell mentions are (Tn-rh-:*
It. Fnrwell, William S. Holman. .Michael
C. Kerr, Daniel W. Yoorliees, William
K. Niblack. George W. McCreary,
Frank W. Palmer, James B. lie, -k,
Oakes Arnett, Nathaniel P. Banks, Ben
jamin F. Butler, Samuel Hooker, Wil
liam 1). Washburn, Samuel S. Cox,
Ellis 11. Roberts, Ileury W. Slocum,
William A. Wheeler, Fernando Wood,
John A. Bingham, James A. Garfield.
William D. Kelley, Horace Maynard,
Omar D. Conger. W. C. Whittliorne,
Joint Hancock, Luke P. Poland, Alex
ander Mitchell, Jeremiah M. Busk and
Philetus Sawyer.
When Frye Talks.
Senator Frye leaves tl:c presiding of
ficer's chair only when li- is crowding
along the shipping hill. He always
makes a speech on the hill and ttlvay *
has a large number of interested sen
ators about him. As bis seat is in the
mid,lie aisle he usually sc. ci.s ft out tie
center of the senate ehauii-ir. Btf,,re
he g< is warmed up he stays in his
place and leans against the desk im
mediately behind hint, it is a c.irek-i-s
attitude and not altogether graceful,
blit it is eliaraoL riatic of the Maine
senator, lie aniiS to be anxious to
convince the Republican senators, and
when be is out in the center a -i> he
faces his party associates most of tin
time. “If it would not Interrupt the
senator," said Teller of Colorado, "i
would suggest that, ho talk this way
part of the time. We are the people
you want to convince,” he added smil
ingly. “You probably have got those
on your own side.”
Selection Will Be Approved.
Those who know the deep humilia
tion to which the son of Bear Admiral
Sampson has been subjected will be
glad that President Roosevelt appoint
ed Uitn a cadet to Annapolis. The
schoolboys drove young Sampson out
of school by taunts, innuendoes and
slurs. This kind of cruelty at the ex
pense of his father was more than he
could stand. In the Naval academy
young Sampson will he among friends,
as the preference for Sampson in the
Schley controversy permeates the acad
emy as It does other portions of the
naval establishment
REPORTERS OF CONSULS.
Furnish Valuable Information to For
eign Countries.
Wahington, May 3.— While tho
and consular ap
propriation bill wan under considera
tion in liu* house several members took
occasion to criticise the consular serv
ice and urge that some reform lit* made.
It was claimed that good men could
not be obtained at tin* salaries now
paid, lint the consuls were not without
defenders, and the fact was brought
out. width every one knows who has
taken the trouble to investigate, that
the consular service of the I'nited
States is first class in every respect.
As in every other body of men of like
number, there are sure to be seme who
are not the best, blit as a whole they
arc a credit to the country anil have
accomplished great good for the com
merce of tin* country. If tho advice of
our consuls as set forth in their reports
was followed more closely, merchants
and manufacturers would 11 ml a still
better foreign market for their wares.
When called upon for special informa
tion, it is found that our consuls from
every part of the globe respond in a
manner to completely exhaust the sub
ject. No publication has a greater cir
culation among business men interest
ed in foreign trade Iha;i the daily bul
letin of the slate depai Client contain
ing the reports of consuls. When it
was propo-ed to send a trade commis
sion to the orient, tin* bill was defeated
upon the showing that all information
that a commission e.uild obtain was
found in the consular reports.
Champion Champ Clark.
< 'liatnp Clark of .Missouri was one of
the men who championed the cause of
tho const:is. ii<* is a lucmhct of the
committee on foreign affairs, which lias
been considering a consular reform bill,
and said that the proposed merit sys
tem us .hi not improve the service.
Hood business men v, bo were good pal-
Itieliies, lie ehbilled, made and wors.l
continue to make -fee !>es! men to rep
resent the country abroad in a busi
ness eapac by. 11l the tf'.ris of his re
marl,s he :ot off saute elmraeti ristie
sayings. For instance: "Now, some
body say: that you got a lot of back
woods pt,lit ieiaas who have delivered
delegates lo somebody. We never have
any delegates in the district which i
ln t 1 honor to l • pro on for we
have primaries, •liurkwoods’ districts
an no! the only places where there
is a job lot of politicians hanging
around. tLaughter. | 1 have heard
that politicians n! mind in great cities
and deliver delegates sometimes. An
other thing, tin* men who run tins
house, as a rule, are back woodsmen.
They come from the country or the
little towns. * * * 1 say that I
can find men in my congressional dis
trict. and every man on this lloor can
find men who are fit to till these con
sular places any where. This talk about
backwoods statesmen and backwoods
districts makes me very weary.”
(Laughter.]
Graduated to the Senate.
From the house and the governor's
chair to (lie senate seems to lit* the
custom. Fifteen senators have been
governors and thirty-live members of
the house before they came to the sen
ate. Three. Likins, lTO'dar and Teller,
have been cabinet ministers, the two
former in Pi I '* blent Harrison's admin
istration. t'uliom and Nelson have both
been members of the h .use and gov
ernors of their states. Those senators
who have boon governors are: I'erkins
(Child, I'ulloni (lII.i, MeHnery and Fos
ter (La.), Nelson (Minn.i, MeLnurin
(Miss.), I "raker (O.i, Tillman (S. ('■),
Kale (Teim.i. Culberson (Tex.), Proc
tor and Dillingham (Vt.), Warren
(Wy.i. Kerry (Ati.i and Wetmore
(It. Li.
Silent Conversation.
Chairman Crow of tho education
committee and a number of other rep
resentatives were much interested the
other day in a number of deaf and
dumb children who, accompanied by a
teacher, showed how they had learned
to carry on a conversation with their
lifts. The teacher thought that such a
development w as worthy of encourage
ment by congressional aid in the way
of a national schook^
At the Expense ot the Senate.
“Of course it is unconstitutional to
deprive a senator of Ids right to speak,”
said Representative McClellan of New
York. "To prevent a senator from
talking is ‘cruel and unusual punish
ment.' clearly forbidden by that his
torical and revered instrument which
was framed by the fathers.”
Said another representative, “The
senate is the only body that would be
gin Washington's birthday by reading
the immortal George's farewell address
and end it with a fist tight.”
“The senate." said another man who
hopes to be a senator some day, "is the
only legislative body oh earth that can
tie itself up ill a bowknot and then
take four or five days off in an effort
to extricate Itself.”

SEEMS ACTIVE
TOPEKA, KAN., HAS A REMARKA
BLE BILL NOW PENDING IN
i CONGRESS' —WHAT THE PECi
PLE WANT.
WELL KNOWN NEWSPA. ER MAN
SIZES UP SENATOR CHANDLER
IN A VERY GOOD LIGHT—WHAT
HE SAYS.
Washington, May 3. —Minister
Wu is now taking a very active
interest in the Chinese exclusion hill
and lias been fighting it at every point.
He cun talk to senators and represent
atives "unoflicinlly” and dees so when
he happens to meet them. lie cannot
go before committees and make argu
ments, but has taken the diplomatic
method of writing to the state depart
ment protesting against the proposed
law. More than this, prominent attor
neys who are known to lie employed
by the Chinese minister have appeared
before the committees of both senate
and house and argued against (lie
Mitehell-Kuhn hill. All of the brainy
Chinaman’s efforts, however, will he
unavailing. There will tie a Chinese
excitation bill law. and the prospects
are that it will lie much more drastic
than the present Geary law.
A Bill From Topeka.
Representative Curtis of Kansas In
troduced a certain hill, and I asked
him what it meant. He said It was
sent him by u man from Topeka, and
he unloaded a lot of literature upon
me and said, “Search for yourself.”
After diligently looking into the muss
of stuff 1 know less about il than be
fore. The Dill directs “that it shall lie
lawful throughout the Knifed States of
America to employ and use in tlit*
computation of time the system of
chronology devised and developed by
James 11. Cruzen and known as the
‘prophetic Biblical system of chronol
ogy,’ or ‘Crnzeu's Christian chronol
ogy,' mid no contract or pleading in
any court shall he deemed invalid or
liable to objection because (lie dates
expressed or referred to therein are the
dates, of ‘the prophetie Biblical sys
tem of chronology.' " There is a lot
more to it. but the above is the sim
plest portion, ns the remainder relates
to “charts.” "perpetual calendars," "ta
bles." etc. The accompanying charts
and papers are bewildering.
“Smell of the Smoke.”
Representative Swanson of Virginia
tells this one oil himself: With his
family is one of the old time darkies
of whom we read so much and see so
little. This < id man thought the repre
sentative should spend more money,
should indulge in such luxuries as he
observed other men having and of
which he was a trifle jealous. "Why
don’t you buy an ottermobi! aud have
a span of spanking, high stepping
bosses or a lot of tilings;” he asked.
“You know I have not the money to
spend on all those tilings,” replied Mr.
Swanson. "Oh. yes. you is,” argued
the old man. "You is got money to
burn, hut tlie trouble with you is you
don’t like the smell of the smoke.”
Things Heard and Seen.
When there is a big day of debate
on tn the senate, the members of the
house come over in great numbers to
listen. They fill the chairs and sofas
around tlie hall and range themselves
np along the walls and remain while
the excitement lasts. In fart, there is
notiiing more interesting in official life
here than a clash of the brightest in
tellects of the senate.
“Oh. yes,” said a millionaire senator,
“some of the Dig moneyed men are an
gry because the president directed this
attorney general to bring suit against
the merger. You see, the fellows who
have organized these Dig companies
will have to carry six or seven hundred
millions of stock that they wanted tu
unload on the public.”
“(■’handler would have been willing
to serve without pay.” said a newspa
per man, “if he could have been at tho
I head of the committee on privileges
j and elections and handled this Tillman-
I MeLaurin affair. And it would not
have been settled without some ‘Chan
illerisms’ in the senate, either." He
i was speaking of Wiiiiam K. Chandler,
tormerly senator from New Hampshire.
The Electric Supply Cos. is stringing
a heavy cable in the business section
of the city to supply current for fight
