Washington special: Senator Ed
munds and Justice Lamar met, for the
first time since the former tried to de-
feat the latter's confirmation, at the
Thursday reception at the white house.
They collided at the entrance of the
green room, and those who stood
around and knew how bitterly Edmunds
had fought the nomination wondered
what would happen. A repetition of the
scene that occurred when Blaine and
Edmunds met at the funeral of Presi-
dent Arthur was expected, but it did
not occur. Justice Lamar is too much
of gentleman. The two shook hands
as cordially as ever, and chatted for
while in the best of temper.
A few moments after friend who met
the senator remarked: 'I'd like to know
what you said to Lamar and what he
said to you when you met over there"
'"There was nothing of extraordinary
brilliancy of interest said on either
side, answered the senator.
But what was it?" persisted the
friend
''Well, if you insist upon knowing, I
remarked to him, tHow-dy do. He re-
Piled, How-dy do, and that was about
all the conversation"
AS Lamar expected all the time that
Edmunds would oppose him, he has no
feeling on the subject, and said the
other day that he could forgive every
one OF his enemies with full heart.
MIR. Edmunds has spent good deal of
tune In the supreme court room lately,
having had several cases to argue.
