| cations are that the winter will be gay
| one in all the social accessories. There is
a president to nominate in the near future
and there happens to be in the senate not
! few who think they can discount any
president yet made. The list includes
some very wealthy ones, who will have
round after round of good dinners. at
which future continge rc:es, pl ms and az
ti'n will be discussed. Senator Pendleton,
at dinner as host, is in his element, and
1t would not displeaze him to entertain
seven days in q week. He will average
two frst-class dinners q week in the con-
gressional season given by himself, and
will attend as guest probably three
or four more. If there is a man living
who knows the value Of q good dinner bet
ter than Sam Ward it is Geo. H. Pendle-
ton. He knows, too, hsw to get il up,
whom to invite, and how TO manage it. He
docs not waste any terrapin and canvas
backs with Burgundy and champagne
trimmings on men who are heavy and
SLOW In their processes. He studies hu-
man nature acutely, and has cunning and
diplomacy with men which gave him first
place as social diplomat. One of the
textures of the season here will be the
Pendleton dinners. and no guests will be
more handsomely entertained. This gives
Ohio the front rank at the capital for hos
pitaiity.
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, who
comes from the clam bake sands,
is another who can appreciate a
good square meal. He often has
covers laid for twenty-four hours or
more. The feas. begins early and extends
until long after the chickens have gone to
roost.
Henry G. Davis. of West Virginia, is also
liberal in his hospitality. So is Edmunds
and good many others. The crusty fel-
lows Of the senate are those vino have no
stomachs. The divine saying that "man
cannot live on bread alone carries with it
conviction as exemplided by experience.
The fellows who try to get up wrong end
to snarl all day. The good natursd solons
are those who live we'll and have
capacious bay windows for anatom-
atical adornments. To illustrate
this take Hoar, of Massachusetts.
Conger, of Michigan, Ingalls,, John Shsr-
man, and Others, lank and lean. These be
the scolds and jachdaws. They are net
capon-lined. In contrast take Pendlston,
David Davis. John P. Jones, Beck, Cam
den, Davis of West Virginia, Logan,
Plumb, Sawyer and others, all can crack .
joke, sing song if necessary, and are up
even on slang and horse talk. Don Cam
eron is about the only one OF attenusted
frame who is good liver. He may take
anti-fat; nearly all the others can send the
scale up over the 200 notch.
CHILL AND COLUMBIA.
The Gillian legation hero denies with
great positiveness the story of demand
for Chill on tho United States
Of Columbia, which is liable to put this
country whore it must either protect Col
umbia against Chill or repudiats the treaty
Of 1916 with what was then called New
Grenada. On the other hand, there is good
reason for believing that Chill has made
the demand on Columbia, and that Colu,n-
hia, with view to taking advantage Of
the treaty of 1916, has notified Mr.. Scruggs,
the American minister. Of the fact. and
has an envoy here With all the necessary
papers for presenting the case to the state
department. But the treaty Of 1916 is not
so broad as has been represented. By it
this government did undertake to guaran-
tee the sovereignty of New Grenada over
the 18th mus of Panama, but not elsewhere
Chilli could take any other Columbian ter
ritory without throwing any burden of
responsibility upon the United States. As
the government has been arguing with
England to tho effect that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty Of 1850 was outlawed by
lapse of time, it is not very likely to as
sumo any very great risks in consequence
of tardy engagements in 1916
General Chalmers, of Mississippi, is
here and nat 1rally fell to talking about
his election and the &C ion OF the secre-
tary of state in giving the Certificate to
manning. He half believed that the
action of the state authorities will be re-
versed, and that he will get the seat with
out contest in the house. Jim
Winter Smith, of Texas. who came on the
train with him, says he does not believe
Manning will take his seat, there is such
sentiment against it. Nobody here doubts
that Manning will take the seat. The real
business upon which Chalmers came was
to test his standing at headquarters. He
wants to have Mrs. Lea Crandall, who is
postmistress at Oxford, Miss, removed
and an Independent Democrat. named
Lowry, put in the place, and he will make
this request of the department tomorrow.
The request will be as near a demand as
policy will admit of. This same post
mistress was removed once by Grant at the
request of Governor Ames, and then put
back again when Grant learned that she
was the daughter Of a prosecuted Union
man. Chalmers Is going at once about the
work of rewarding on the Malone plan.
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION
will be in session here next week at the
room of the house committee on terri
tories. Mr.. Burrows, the chairman, and
