Dear Argus: -From our perch in

Looking down on the Senate, we

that might appropriately be termed
"Websterians." John P. Jones and
Major NcGIew occupy a desk
near the central entrance, fttingly
located for the convenience of i'm
Fortunate lobbyists. Yesterday we
saw Rev. W. G. Wilson and lady on
the Senate floor, who exchanged COR
dial greetings with Prestons Sena-
tors and then quietly departed.
On the whole, we are much pleas

commanding personages we ever saw

Par.iamentarian he has few eau he.

on the floor by Representatives Holt
