Charles A. Buddensiek. the wildcat

bail of $50, 200, and is, it is also rumored,
now on his way to the Queens dOmin-
ions. One Ofthe three bOndsmen, Thomas
Hagan,a metal rOofer, living at No. 337 east
i23d street, evidently thinks so, for Daniel
DAILY, Hagan's lawyer, sent word to Cor

bail.
Police Captain Killilea sent Officer
Sweeney in search Of Buddensiek with a
warrant for his arrest. issued by Coroner
Martin, but Sweeney was unable to find
his man at his usual haunts, and no one
appeared to know where Buddensiek was
to be found. The Otner two bondsmen
are John Bell, a dealer in building mate

and Sigmund Warshing, a real estate
broker, of No. 10 East 18th street.

They are an interesting study, these
three millionaire statesmen. Take them
as a lot or individually, they are the most
modest and retiring men in the Senate.
Yet they are not only its wealthiest
men. but are all possessed of ability by
which they might claim and take a much
higher rank in the everyday work of that
body than they do. Whether it is char
acteristc of millionaires to be modest
your correspondent does not attempt to
say, but this is undoubtedly the case with
these particular men. They are not on
their feet as many times in an entire ses-
sion as some of their less wealthy and
less able DEMONSTRATORS are some
times in week or even in a day.
In the matter Of dress and per-
sOnal appearance they are quite as
modest as in their craftsmanship. A
Quiet suit of some dark material, quiet,
transformations manner and lack OF any
Distinguishing feature in appearance or
ways makes it quite impossible for you
to tell, looking down from the galleries OF
meeting these owners of millions, that
they differ in any particular from their
fellCw-Senators, except that you will
take them for the most modest men in the
whole body.
Let us take them singly. Leland Stan.
ford went from Central New York to Wis
cOnsin about 1915. He settled down as a
lawyer, but did not seem TO succeed very
well, and in 40, when the gold fever broke
out, was glad OF an excuse TO give up the
law. He went to California, but, instead
Of attempting TO dig gold, established a
grocery store. 1t soon became whole
sale establishment, and when the Union
Pacific Railroad WAS TO be built he had
accumulated enough thousands to take a
pretty heavy slice in that, and so laid the
foundation of his immense fortune. A
recent estimate OF his wealth places it at
$50, 900, 900. He owns more than $1,000 600
worth of San Francisco real estate, be-
sides many VINEYARDS, farms and breed
ing ranches. Four years ago he paid
taxes on an assessment Of $4,000, 900, and
of this sum nearly 100000 was re-
turned as personal property. He is a
heaVy-lOoking man, tall, well filled out,
straight, with military bearing, courte-
Gus in his manner, easy of approach and
50 generous that he may be said to be
Open-handed. Inclination and Opportu-
nifty have led him TO pose as a patron Of
the arts and the turf. The art gallery is
one of the features of his elaborate resi-
dence in San Francisco. His fine farm,
where mis- stables were burned the other
day, is situated at Menlo Park, in the
Santa Clara valley, forty miles from San
Francisco. There are $50 acres in the
park and lawn about the mansion, and
thousands Of trees, collected from all
parts of the world. IL was the owners
aim to bring there a specimen Of every
tree that would grow in California soil.
At one time he maintained a New York
residence, but this has been given up. In
spite Of mis- great wealth, Senator
Stanford has always had the conf
dence and good will of the masses. They
look upon him as the ablest Of the Califor-
MIA millionaires and credit him with a
disposition TO use his wealth for the benefit
of himself and others.

est managers on the Republican side of
the Senate. Certainly there is no more
popular man with those who know him
best. His wealth is variously estimated
at from S3,000,000 to more than double
that sum.
Senator Fair is generally counted as
ranking next, though there IS not very
much known here about the details OF his
financial condition. He is a "self-ma de"
man as regards his wealth, having made
his fortune by his own efforts, as is the
case with each of the illustriOus trio
whose faces are given in this article. He
is perhaps the handsomest man of the
three, with fine figure, handsome face and
magnificent beard. He is one of the few
Senators who are not natives OF this c0un-
try, having been born in Ireland "a years
ago. He is q thorough student and prob
ably the best educated man OF the three,
having received thorough business edu-
cation in Chicago, paying especial atten-
ton TO scientific studies, which especially
fitted him for the mining business, in
which he has since been engaged. he was
one of the w40-ers," remaining IN Cali
fornia until 1860, when he went to Nevada,
where he has since resided, and where he
has been extensively engaged in mining,
constructing huge quartz mills, building
water works, etc. In 1861 he formed a
partnership with John w Mackay, j. c..
Flood and William S. O'Brien. The firm
purchased the control of the B0nanzas
and several other well-known mines, the
yield OF goId and silver from which, while
under the SUPPLEMENTARY OF MIR. Fair, is
estimated at about $200,000,000. He is
also extensively engaged in real estate
and buildings in San Francisco. and is
largely interested in various manufac-
lures of the Pacific coast

WASHINGTON, April 24.-It is little
odd that the three wealthlest men OF the
Senate should all have come from the
same section of the country. That strip
of country stretching from the southern
end of Lake Michigan up the western
shore of that body of water seems pecu-
liarly adapted to the development of
wealthy men. Senator Stanford, Senator
Sawyer and Senator Fair are the
three men referred to, and their wealth
is estimated to aggregate $10000O,OO0.
They are interesting figures in the Senate.
Stanford, who is now conceded the
wealthiest imam in that body, went to Wis
consin when young man and settled
down to the practice of law there, re-
naming until the gold fever of 40 car
ried him off and gave him the foundation
on which he built one of the most colossal
fortunes in this country Of millionaTes.
Senator Fair was for some time resi-
dent of Chicago, where he completed his
education just in time to fall victim to
the gold fever at the same time that Mr..
Stanford was carried on.
Senator Sawyer was a resident of Wis
consin at the time, but, rejecting the
popular gold digging mania, he stuck to
his saw logs with such success that he
has been, until the arrival of Senator
Stanford, the wealthiest man in the
Senate.

The sparring exhibition given last night
by Prof. John Donaldson and Patsy Cardiff
at the Theater COmique was unquestion-
ably one Of the most scientific contests ever
witnessed in Minneapolis. The audience
was large. Every available inch, including
the boxes and wings on the stage, was oc-
cupied, and hundreds were turned away
owing to the inability of Manager Brown
TO furnish adequate accommodation. Man
ager Wheeler reiterated the fayorite
pugiliStS challenge TO any man barring
Sullivan. The Peoria giant was greeted
with enthusiastic applause and vociferous
cheering. Prof. Donaldson was also loudly
applauded. Both presented a splendid APP
pearance as they stepped to the scratch
when time was called. There is little differ

condition, but it was manifest that
Cardiff was in the better condition.
The first round was purely scientific. Car
