THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NUMBER 187. 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.

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.

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.” BRUNSWICK, GA., SUNDAY MO RNING, MAY 4, 1902.

OLD MAN 1 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 1 and power. j
