A Severe Speech by MIR. HxcPheraou
Called a Lobbyist in tho senate.

Called Lobbyist in tho senate.
WksHINGToN, Feb. 90. Secretary Chand-
Ter was called lobbyist on the floor OF the
Senate 10. day. Mr.. Mcpherson took oc:a-
sion to give the Naval Chief sovere over
hauling. The Senator from New Jersey Is
q tall, gaunt, cold and sarcastic man, aud
when he desires 10 be ugly lie invariably
succeeds. The Senate had put oshie the
Utah bill for the Naval Appropriation bill.
Senator Anthony made proposition TO ap-
propriate $500 900 for the construction Of an
experimental ship. Mr. Mcpherson thought
this would be good idea, but wanted to
know whether permission had been granted
by the Secretary OF the Navy. No leRisla-
ton on naval matters could be carried
through, 1t appeared hy this bill, without
his indorsement being nrst obtaiard.
SO conspicuous had ho made his inter
ference that only yesterday an outraged
Senator had Indignantly driven him from
the floor on account of hls noisy zeal In
pushing his echeiaes In tho Senate lobby.
To say that he was not at homo in such bubi-
ness would be contradiction of facts OF
history. President Arthur's administration
had so far been one 70 commend itself to
the public, but when this bill came to be
carried out by this Secretary Of the Navy
the Preaidant might flud that It was still q
possibility to make O mistake. The Presi-
dent beaded the list of bic advisers with
character and ability the purest and best,
but even. before reaching the end Of the list
had descended by one gigantic stride to the
lobby, with all that that implied.
Senator Anthony protested that the ar
raionment OF Secretary Chandler was un-
just, while little Rollins, fairly bristling with
Indignation, denounced II " uncalled for
and Indecent.
After this little fraeas the Senate went
right along with the bill Just as II nothing
had happened, and passed it.

The Gifted wisconsin Girl Gone, at the
Age OF Twenty-Five.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 23.-Mrs. II. T. r.
White, better known a. Fannie Drlscoll, the
poetess, died at the home Of her parents in
this city at o'clock this morning. Al
though her name was on every tongue, so
well was she known through her captivating
writings, get but little can be said of her
life. 1t was successful. Though but 25
years of age she had been 10 years in the
literary field. She was born In this city and
lived here until few months ago. Here
she went TO school, here were all her
associations, and here was where she made
her name to be known. Slight
OF figure and lacking in physical
strength, she was nevertheless the embodi-
ment of mental culture and imagination.
She was married last December TO III. T. K.
White, one of the Editors of the Chicago
Tribune. She had been complaining Of I'll
health for the last year, but her disease did
not manifest itself until short time ago,
when Hhe came from Chicago to visit her
parents aud friends In this city, She was at
the time complaining of acold. Quick con-
sumption was soon apparent ard, although
she rallied from time 10 time, her physicians
felt no hope Of her recovery. Perfectly
conscious up TO a few hours Of her death
she was not in ignorance Of her precarious
condition. The funeral will be of the most
private character, only the most intimate
friends Of deceased and the relatives being
invited. II will be held Sunday afternoon.
