WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Lamar's Sue
cessor in the senate has more genuine ac-
tlylty and business capacity than his prede-
cessor. He is well-appearng man, and
his friends say has firm hold on the people
in his state. He is over six feet tail, lightly
built but springy and active on his feet.
In the face, but only in the face, he does
not look unlike Cerro Gordo Williams of
Kentucky. He dresses with a careless
makeup. and wears the typical slouch
hat affected by most Southern busi-
ness men. The successor of Mr..
Bayard, eXGov. Gray of Delaware,
resembles more good-natured physician
than a lawyer or statesman. He has full.
round face covered with thick growth of
stubby hair, which in its day has been jet.
but is now well sprinkled with gray. He
is good talker, but, unlike his predecessor.
will not be always splitting hairs on ques-
tions of constitutional law. He will make
better business senator in details than did
Mr.. Bayard. In the election of J. w. Dan
iel to the senate Virginia contributes to the
body classical scholar and an ornate
orator. He is quite young, not having
turned yet his forty-fifth year. The popu-
larity he attained with his people
comes from his power of eloquence while
addressing them in reputed political CAM
paigns. When Hancock was nominated at
Cincinnati Daniel followed Daniel Dough-
erty i'll seconding his nomination and made
a speech of burning eloquence, which had a
magical effect upon the delegates. 1t was
thought, when Bayard, Lamar and Garland
were taken from the senate, that the body
would be materially weakened on the Dem
Ocratic side. This would seem, however,
to be fallacy. The trio who have been
transferred to the cabinet have escaped at
tention in connection with the senatorial
body, and, it is to be said regretfully, they
are not missed.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Senators are
watching the developments in the house
with regard to the proposed change of rules
with much interest, and generally regard
the proposition to distribute the appropria-
ton bills among several committees of the
house as an extremely unwise step and
likely to lead to great extravaganza. The
members OF the senate committee on rules.
all of whom are experienced parliament
tarians and several of whom had their
training in the house of representatives,
are unanimous in this opinion. The reso-
luton embodying the proposed code
OF joint rules will probably be re-
ported to the senate on Monday and be
passed without much delay and sent to the
house. They embody three chief propo-
sitions. which, if adopted by the house,
would, in the opinion of the senate commit
lee and senators generally, relieve the house
of most of its difficulties. The first is a
requirement that the speakers table shall
be cleared every day by referring all the
measures and communications upon it to
the proper committees, and thus getting
them into the channels Of legislation at the
earliest moment. The second prohibits
riders upon general appropriation bills, and
the third requires that during the last ten
days of each session, preference shall be
given in each house to measures which
have already passed the other house. These
requirements are already followed in the
senate,
