Ex-Members Who Visit washington

Washington Letter to Boston Traveller:
Neither Conklin nor Blaine ever visits
the house or the senate to renew the asso-
Citations of the years gone before, and be-
You'd the fact that both are identified with
the Republican party this is about the only
resemblance which they have in common.
Ben Butler. on the other hand, is frequently
seen OH the floors of both houses. Butler
IS man who commands attention
wherever he goes. When he appears on
the senate floor he usually makes his
headquarters upon the Democratic side.
He is still power in national politics. and
the most prominent men of both parties
love to listen to his quaint and pungent OBJ
servations upon persons and events which
are now interesting the country. Another
character is Joe Mcdonald, or ''Old Sad
dlebags." who is here as the agent of sew
eral wealthy and powerful corporations.
Both Mcdonald and Butler appear to be re-
newing their youth. They look younger
than they did ten years ago, and. as a
matter of fact, their intellectual
faculties appear to have been sharp
ened rather than dimmed with increas-
ing age. Mcdonald has the heaviest eye
brows OF any man who comes to Washing
ton. They are enormous, especially so
when cOntraSted with his billiard-like bald
head, which has only fringe of white
hair just above his neck. If Mcdonald
could shift his eyebrows up on the top of
his head he would have very respectable
suit of hair. Conkling, Blaine, Butler and
Mcdonald are ''out of politics. so they
say, but they exert very potent influence
here in Westinghouse far greater influence
than half hundred or more men who hold
important Federal positions, and wonder
why they weigh less than they do in the eS-
timation of the public.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

There was a good deal of mixing of
Northern action with Southern sentiment
in the JEFF DAVIS demonstration, after
all. In addition to the New York sculptor
who was the architect of the Confederate
monument at Montgomery and the Ohio
colonel who was marshal of the day, Mil
waukee poet wrote the memorial ode in
commemoration of the unwilling of the
Confederate monument. And to cap the
climax, Col. FRANK BURR of the Philadel-
phia Press, the well-known newspaper cor
respondent, who was the commander of a.
gallant Pennsylvania regiment during
the late unpleasantness, walked in
the procession, carrying a Confeder-
ate flag in his hand and wearing a
sprig of palmetto in the place of a button
hole boquet. Somehow or other when the
old soldiers get together they will forget all
about the anmosities of a quarter of CEN
fury ago, and, shaking hands over the grave
of a buried past, beat their swords into
plowshares. 1t doesn't make much differ
ence which side is having celebration, if
the veterans who fought on the other side
are on the ground, they are going to take a
hand in it. They were all soldiers once.
They are all American citizens now.

AN 1NJUDICIoUs MOVEMENT.


The GLOBES New York special tells of
formidable movement on foot to GUST
PowDERLY from the head of the Knights
OF Labor organization and to substitute
MARTIN IRONS in his place. If the move
ment succeeds it will be bad days work
for the labor organization. Mr.. Pow
DERBY has proved himself leader of rare
wisdom and possessed of splendid execu-
tive ability. All that the public knows of
Mr.. IRONS is in connection with the
Southwestern strike and the failure
he made in that instance does not
commend him to public esteem. 1t is true
that PowDERLY suffered himself to be out
witted by JAY GOULD, but that does not
signify lack of ability so much as did an
oYer-cOnfdence in human nature With this
single exception, PowDERLY's admins
tration has been marked with a cIearness,
foresight and conservatism that has excited
the admiration of all classes. On the other
hand, MARTIN IRONS management of the
Southwestern strike was series of blum
derS, coupled with an ineXcusable bull
medicines from the time he ordered the
strike until the day he ground arms to the
railway management. 1t is evident that
IRONS is being pushed by the reckless agi-
tators who are FESTIVE under PowDERLY's
conservative leadership. Ballast is what
the labor organizations need now above all
things else, and if PowDERLY is thrown
overheard the labor vessel will be in bad
shape to encounter the storms which are N
its course.

KILLED WITH A MALLET.
An Incident of the Recent Demon
stration in Chicago.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, May "a common saloon
brawl of week ago, to which no attention
was paid at the time, to-day resulted in a
homicide. Last Monday afternoon, in the
saloon of Chris Weld. at the corner of State
and Forsythe streets, three men were EN-
gagged i'll dispute concerning the pres
ent labor difficulties. Two of them,
Charles Seidschaig and Emil Berger, had
taken opposite sides of the question, and
shortly after their conversation began were
engaged in heated dispute. Suddenly
SeldSchaig sized small wooden mallet
and dealt Berger severe blow in the side
OF the head, just Below the left
ear. Berger staggered under the eff
fects of the blow for an instant,
Dut the men were separated before further
blows could be exchanged. Both men soon
afterWard left the place. Friday, Berger
complained to his wife of feeling ill, and
renamed home during the day. Saturday
physician was called, and at once pro-
hounced the case serious one, hemorrhage
OF the brain having set in as a result of the
blow OF the mallet. To-day Berger sank
rapidly, and about o'clock in the
afternoon he breathed his last. The police
were not notified of the affair until Satur-
DAY night. In the meantime Seidschag
mad learned of Berger's precarious condition
and had betaken himself to hiding place.
Inc police declared yesterday that they
were ON the track of the man who had
dealt the fatal blow, and would have him
placed behind the bars before many hours.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The House Lays Out a Regular
Program of Work.

Program of Work.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Hereafter the
daily sessions of the house of representa-
tives will begin at II o'clock. The assign
ments of the week are as follows: Monday
(after the call of states) TO the committee
on the District of Columbia for bills of
local interest, the most important of which
Is that providing for a bridge across the
Potomac; Tuesday, to the committee on
private bonds claims; Thursday to the COM
mittee on agriculture, and Saturday to the
consideration OF the joint resolution pro-
viding for commission to inquire into
Indian affairs. There are, however,
a number of important measures
not thus provided for, among them
the interstate commerce. the electoral
courts and the Immigrant forfeiture bills
Which were made special orders for dates
long passed, whose supporters will contest
the floor with some of the committees
while the army and the diplomatic
bills are likely to be passed
and cause further disarrangement of the
assignment. Again, it is among the posi-
bilitieS Of the weekthat
A LONG DISCUSSION
may arise upon the subsidy amendment to
tue poStoHco plIl, Tie presidents message
regarding private pension bills, or the prop
osition to permit the Offering of amend
ments to general pension bills, to provide
in each for taxation to meet it's own re-
quired expenditures. The tariff debate is
not now expected to begin this week.
The senate has unanimously consented
to devote tomorrow and Tuesday
to the discussion of the interstate COM
merce bill and the vote upon the measure
before adjournment on Tuesday. 1t is the
understanding that the general pension
bills shall not be taken up. and that the
bankruptcy bill, the open session reso-
luton, the Chinese restriction bill, and the
Pacific railroad debt extension bill shall fol-
low in their order. 1t is possible. however,
that not more than one or two of these
will be disposed of during the
coming week. The appropriation commit
tee has the agricultural, the pension and
the District of Columbia appropriation bills
under consideration, and its sub committee
have made such progress that one or more
Of them may be brought in speedily if de-
sired, but none are likely to be reported or
brought up for action this week,

SEIZURE OF THE ADAMS.
Hon. SachviIle West Thinks Ma tiers
Will Turn Out Right

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Post to-
morrow will publish an interview with Hon.
l.. Sachville West the British minister, in
regard to the seizure of the United States
vessel Adams by the Canadian authorities,
in which he says:
/ have had no official correspondence upon
the fisheries question this year. You see that
matter is in the hands of the Dominion
authorities at its present stage. They corres-
spond directly with the colonial Office in Lon
don, and it is not until some action is taken
by the imperial government that I should be
called upon to act in the matter with the United
States. don't apprehend this question is
going to cause any serious differences be-
tween the two countries. OF course the
seizure of the Adams at Digby will increase
the unpleasantness which is felt on
both sides. Everything might Nave
been avoided had congress taken
the advice of the administration and an
pointed a commission to inquire into the
whole dispute. But it has chosen not to do

Almost a Cyclone.


OsKALoosA, Ia, May 9-The most fer
rifle rain and wind storm that was ever ex-
perienced here, struck this city about
O'Clock this afternoon. About 10 a. m. a
very black cloud was noticed in the south
west which increased in size until it ex-
tended from the extreme south
west to the farthest northwestern
horizon. Heavy thunder was constant and
about p. m. a terrific gale sprang up,
driving the storm cloud rapidly eastward.
The wind played strange pranks. In
radius of 100 feet in many instances trees
are lying in opposite directions, showing
that there was strong cyclone tendency.
The loss to property in the city and
vicinity will exceed Sc. 900. Two large
barns belonging to Jacob Vennor, at
the extreme northwestern city limits, were
destroyed. The first ward school-house
suffered a damage of SO, 900. The Friends
brick church, where the yearly meetings Of
the society are held, suffered in a similar
amount. The Mahoska county agricultural
society loses $4,000 by destruction of
fences, stables, etc. The streets are filled
with branches of trees and wrecks of light
out-buildings. No cases of personal injury
have been reported.

Tracklaying of she Northwestern.


CHICAGO, May 9.-Tracklaying will be-
gin to-day on the Northwestern extensions
from Buffalo Gap to Rapid City. 1t was
rumored that all of the force of the COM
pany was to have been concentrated OH the
main line westward to Fort Fetterman. but
this seems to have been mis-
take. The branch into the heart
of the Black Hills will be
completed by Aug. 1, and possibly before if
the brdge-builders finish their contracts.
The Northwestern is also rushing the Mis-
souri, Valley division toward Fort Fetter-
man at great rate, and will reach its
objective point early in August. Its haste
is explained by its desire to secure
the live stock traffic of Southwestern
Montana and northern Wyoming, which it
will be in position to command so soon as
it reaches the objective point. Already its
agents are in Montana, soliciting the trade
which no doubt it will get, as it's adj

only competitor, the Northern Pacific. out

the fishery article of the treaty of 1871 and it
has substituted nothing, leaving us to fall
back upon the miserable old treaty of 1915
Instead of progress there has been retrogres-
sion in this matter, and we are now acting
under treaty made over sixty years
ago. The question now is as to the
interpretation of that treaty. The Cana
dams may interpret one way, the
Americans another, while the imperial gov
eminent may understand it in a way Of its
own. Everything appears now to depend
upon the way in which the British govern
ment may interpret the treaty. This seizure
OF the Adams will bring up the question and
possibly decide the Interpretation. 1t will
come before mixed court-part British citi-
zens and part Americans. L don't believe
there will be any retaliatory action taken by
either country. That system is too old and
has gone out of use.

Shot Through the Heart.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, May 9.-When the
City of greensboro left Henderson this aft
ernoon, she had on board Ben Lewis,
colored, and companion. On the way up
Lewis got into an alteration with Monroe
Hunter, the barber of the boat, and struck
him several times. He then drew his re-
volver and shot at him without
effect. Hunter fled to the pam
try to hide, and Lewis followed
him. with the remark that he would ''have
his life" AS he entered the pantry he
drew his revolver, when Monroe, in self
defense, shot him through the heart. When
the boat arrived here Hunter sent for an
officer and delivered himself up. The dead
man was somewhat of desperate. while
Hunter was an inoffensive, quiet man.

The Dakota Militia Heard From.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In an editorial May 6, headed ''Call For
Federal Troops you were pleased to say that
one company of United States regulars can
be more effective than the whole militia of a
state, and that a mob has sort of con-
tempt for tin soldiers The above remarks
strike home to three or four thousand well
drilled citizen soldiers in Minnesota and
Dakota, and without commenting upon your
remarks I will ask: Are the facts
you state true because COM
pany or regiment of militia whenever
called upon to suppress a mob are supplied
with blank cartridges and Differed by a lot
of inexperienced men, or that the rank and
file is inferior in intellect, discipline and cour-
age to the regulars?
1 might refer you to the conduct of the
Wisconsin militia in Milwaukee the other day,
and conclude by saying without the least in
tention of Boosting that the Dakota militia,
ofhcered as it is by veterans of the late war,
would quell riot as effectually as any regu-
lar organization, provided, of course, they
were not asked by the politicians in authority
to bluff the mob with blank cartridges.

AFTER THE BALL.

She counts her conquests all as naught
Before this browning one
The love that seemed to come unSought,
Like splendorS of the sun;
And every word he spoke tonight
Is craven on her brain
In letters of auroral light
Forever to remain.
She lays her lips upon the hands
His feryent lips have kissed;
And DER her clear eyes as she stands
There comes happy mist. J
What was her charm in form or face
. Ger others at the ball
That he should do her such grace
AS choose her mid them ALL?
She casts her shining silks aside,
And robes her for her rest;
Her only dream till morning tide,
HE loves me-loves me best"
o, virgin faith! D, face so sweet
o, heart that pulses true!
Will any mans heart ever beat
As loyalty for you?
He leaves the ball, but not for rest, ~
And not for faithful dream; 80 !.
Life needs, it seems, another zest
Where Lais reignS supreme.
Fill high the beaker with champagne,
And crown the board with f1ow'rS;
A husband may not know again
Such gay Bohemian hours.
Not his the love that lives for aye,
Not his the loyal Iroth;
His passion lasts summer day,
He swears a traitors oath.
So take the moral mid the strife
Of Hymeneal plans,
That love is all woman's life,
And only half mans.

A Story of Blood.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, May e.-Thomas
James. a saloonkeeper at Hazleton, a
suburb of this city, was fatally shot this
afternoon by William Powers. alias Nc
earthly, molder. Powers had an alterca-
ton with Burt Hanson, an iron worker,
and drawing a revolver endeavored to
shoot him. James. in the effort to
separate them, was shot in the right groin,
the bullet cutting into the intestines.
Powers shot Andrew Lattan year ago
because the latter objected to his attentions
to his daughter. James, who is slowly
sinking, resides in the house where julius
Gilmand was murdered last Thanksgiving.
Powers was arrested and will be held for a
hearing.

OBEDIENCE TOLAw.

Whoever may dissent from Bishop IRE
LANDS proposition that all governments
are ordained by GOD, all just and fair
minded people, without regard to whether
they are believers or infdels, will assent to
the proposition SO clearly laid down in the
bishops sermon yesterday. that it is the
duty of every citizen to yield loyal obedi-
ence to constituted authority. The church
performs good Office when it enjoins this
duty upon its members, and it is neglectful
OF its mission in establishing peace on earth
and good will among men when it fails to urge
submission to law and the practice of law
full methods in such crisis as that through
which the country is now passing.

A Storm at Burlington.

BURLINGTON, Ia, May 9.-This section
was visited this afternoon by one of the
most terrific thunder storms known for
years. The thunder and lightning were
terrific. The rain tell in torrents and the
wind blew hurricane. The storm
was of short duration, lasting from about
to $3.50 o'clock. During the storm four
young men were sitting under porch
when the building was struck. and one of
them, Gus Wolf, was instantly killed,
and August johnson was stunned by the
shock, but he will recover. The
other two were not injured. The building
sustained no damage. In the southern part
of the city, the residence of Isaac Benner-
man was struck, set on fire, and destroyed,
but none of the inmates were injured. The
storm no doubt did considerable damage ia
crops but the extent cannot at this time bs
given.

ANENERGETIC WYEREss.

Though the female lawyer would proba-
bly, be the first to resent any appellation
distinguishing her from her brethren at the
bar, that kind of practitioner has not yet
become so common as to warrant grouping
under the same general term which indi-
Gates the usual legal expert. So long as
'authoress'' holds its place in the language
there will be warrant for calling woman
learned in the law lawyeress. Among
the members of the other sex who as law
yeresses have sought fame and fortune in
the profession, none is deserving of greater
credit than Mrs. MARY A. LEONARD,
whose legal acumen has won her recogni-
ton from the supreme court of Oregon.
after persistent and well-fought contest.
Through her own efforts. despite strong
opposition, she enjoys the distiction of being
the first woman to be recognized as duly
authorized member of the Oregon legal
fraternity. Having been refused license
by the supreme court, she succeeded in
getting bill through the state legislature
putting women on the same footing with
men in the courts of the state. Again re-
fused her license by the court she appeared
in her own behalf and by the force of her
arguments completely won over the court to
recognition of her claims. A new field
is thus opened up to women in the West.
The prosaie routine of school teaching is no
longer the only professional occupation in
which she may engage. The ancient fic-
ton that man alone may come to court is
dispelled and magnificent future opened

ment the day may come when Oregon may
even return some one of her female lawyers

would bring about an improvement upon
her present representation there can be
