WASHINGTON, Feb. "A great deal of
comment has been occasioned by the pro-
longed absence of Senator Jones of Florida
from his seat in the senate. The strange
ness OF his continued absence from his pub
lie post is further increased by the fact that
he has not been seen in Florida since early
last spring. The last time he was in the
senate was during the special executive
session last spring He has not put in
an appearance as yet this session, and has
not sent any excuse to explain his pro-
lOnged absence. Some of his friends
have thought it would be well TO publish
an advertisement for the lost senator, but
within the last day or two news of him
has been furnished by gentleman who has
recently seen him. He is in Detroit,
Mich, and has been constantly in that city
since the 1st of last June. He is in love with
charming widow, one of the most prominent
figures in Detroit society, who has an indie
pendent fortune of So, 200. 900. The gallant
and enraptured senator is widOwer with
i've or six children. He has thus far been
unsuccessful in his suit with the charming
millionaire widow. The senator is perSiS-
tent however, and is reported to have
until the widow succumbS. 1t is said the
senator faithfully sends every day to his
adored one
BASKET OF FLOWERS
and written avowal of his undyingalove.
The notes and flowers are never acSnow-
lodged. it is said, but the patient senator
never permits his inamorita's silence to dis
courage his passionate appeals. Two years
ago Senator Jones met ex-MayOr ThOmp-
son, one of the wealthiest and most agree
able gentlemen in Detroit society. Mr..
Thompson is now an active Democrat and
spends much of his time in New York.
1t was in that city he met Senator Jones.
Mr.. Thompson invited Senator Jones to
visit him in Detroit, and when the latter
came to see him at his home. had him make
number of speeches before various Irish
American societies. The senator was
royalty received in Detroit 1t was during
this first visit that he met the charming
widow. He returned to Detroit for am
active campaign last May. Ever since the
1st of last June he has been relentless and
patient. 1t is said the senate will
never see Jones again unless the fair widow
succumbS TO this most romantic and UNI
PARALLEL siege. Up to the present date the
senator has fired 220 avowments with 220
bouquets, equal to the number of days he
has been in Detroit, the hard-hearted
widow, who remains unmoved at the re-
peated and numerous proffers of high Off
cial station at Washington.

ionaire Californian, began the erection of
5000, 900 residence at West Haven. and en-
gagged as his supervising architect and dis
bursting agent James Scott, Salt Lake
City Mormon. Recently Mr. Waddingham
had reason to believe that Scott was dis
honest. He engaged an attorney to lnves-
tlgate the matter. ami five weeks ago Scott
was arrested and placed in charge of a
deputy sheriff, who has kept him under his
eye ever since. The matter has been kept
very quiet. When first arrested Scott
StOutly denied his guilt. and last night he
confessed that he had embezzled about
$50, 600, and claims that several prominent
merchants of this city were implicated with
him. He claimed that lie received bills
from the merchants for about One-third
more than the regular price of articles pur-
chased, and, after paying the bills, divided
the surplus with the merchants. Scott was
paid salary of So per day, given a COM
modious residence and allowed 81, 900 per
week to pay the expenses of the cOnstruc-
ton. The affair has caused decided SEN

ENGLAND,s YEsuYIus.

1t is an uphill business to attempt to rea-
son with hungry man. A loaf of bread is
the only argument that will reach him.
Starvation produces the worst features of
insanity, and consequently mob OF bread

community would not be so great a terror
as 10000 starving men who have no reason
10 fear death and nothing to live for. The
conservative city of London is one of the
last places where mob violence was
to be looked for. Yet the har-
vest of violence which that city is now reap
ing is legitimate crop of its own sowing.
The riotOus excuses of English royalty
should naturally produce riOtOus violence
among the lower classes. The extremes of
London society are too far apart for healthy
social conditions. AS long as the English
government spends millions TO support a
royal family of idlers and libertines while
men, women and children are starving by

volcanic fires which slumber be-

expected TO break forth in fury. Thus
it is that English statesmen of the GLAD

cal institutions lies in their reformation on
a republican basis. Unless English states
