IMPoL1TE suR. EDMUNDs.
His DiscOurtesy TO Opponents and
Characteristics i'm Debate.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-There is no
figure Oh the Republican side in the senate
which attracts more attention than that of
Senator Edmunds of Vermont. 1t is
Gear that he will be the most active of
the Republican senators in opposing the
Democratic administration and its policy.
He has been so long OF from the floor OF
the senate that his friends believed he did
not intend to even take an active part in the
debates again. Thus far he has shown a
desire to be at the front in everything. 1t
may be that his approaching canvass in
Vermont has had something to do with
stimulating him to exertion. He appears
to have lost none OF
HIS OLD-TIME SARCASM
and is as direct and incisive as in his best
days. He has way of showing contempt
for an antagonist whose style OF ar
gument he does not admire. which
is at the time the very extreme
of discourtesy. The other day he was argu-
ing point when Senator Morgan of Ala
bama interrupted him. Senator Morgan is
one of the best lawyers in the senate, but
he is a very proSy talker. The moment
Morgan began to speak Edmunds looked at
him and then, with a gesture of impatience,
he fairly fell into his seat and made some
contemptious side remark in tone which
was heard all over the senate. Mr.. Ed
munds has number of
CHARACTERISTIC POSITIONS
which he assumes during debate in which
he is interested. When he is giving special
attention to subject he sits with his right
hand up to his face, with
index finger. which stands as sentinel

special attention and is simply enduring a
discussion, he lies back in his chair and
locks his hands together across his chest
gray frock suit. When he stands up to
make an argument in the senate, he nearly
always has his right hand in one of the
pockets of his trousers, using the
other hand for making gestures or
moving papers about on his desk in front
of him. Sometimes he brings his hands to-
gether in front of him when he is pursuing
avery quiet line of thought. but the mo-
ment he enters upon
A sATIRICAL VEIN
and begina to make wicked thrusts, he in
variably has one hand in his pocket and
faces the men against whom he is directing
his attention. Only occasionally, and he
will stand facing the president of the
senate; and then as he reaches the climax
of his attack, he will turn his head quickly
toward the Democratic side without NOV
ing his body. Senator Edmunds is
one Of the few senators who
never ''revises" his remarks before
they appear in the Congressional Record.
His words are always carefully selected and
delivered with great precision and distinct
ness. In the midst OF the most exciting
debate Mr.. Edmunds always
REMAINS PERFECTLY COOL
and collected He never appears in a bet
ter humOr than when he is scalping a
new senator who has dared to contradict
him. Senator Edmunds rarely raises
his voice in speaking above the converse
tional pitch, but when it does it rises to a
shrill yell, it is apt to jar the nerves of
inexperienced senators.

that fire the amount sustained He also
stated that several claims had been pres
ented to the company and in some instances
replies had been received. which were in
substances as follows: That the railroad
company is in no way liable for said dam
age, for the reason that the fire was not
started on their right of way; that their en-
gines are provided with all approved mod
ern appliances to prevent the election of
sparks and that the engine was

ton it was agreed to assess per cent. of
the amount toward employing legal ability

tablish an extensive system of condults

opposition company, of whose eonduits but
little is known and against which the city
is decidedly opposed. The mayor has de-
clined to approve the bond of the new
stockholders and legal action will also be
taken by the Dorsett people. Intense feel
ing has been engendered in the city over
the transaction and it is likely that at the
next meeting of tie city authorities the
company'S franchise will be revoked, should
no other way be presented for blocking the
evident conspiracy against the original
company.

that he and Tallifsen got to quar-
reling, and that he got out of the
wagon. Tallifsen followed him, and while
he backed away the latter followed, threat
ening him. He drew his revolver and fired,
thinking to frighten Tallifsen. and was
surprised to see him fall. Going up to him
he found him dead. The murdered man
was taken to Docks house. where it was
found the ball had entered his breast two
inches below the collar bone. Swensen
