Senators Talking OF an Increase In Their

WASHINGTON CITY, March 1S-The ques-

gressmen has been receiving the earnest at
tention of senator's, especially of late, and
there is an overwhelming sentiment among
them in favor of making the salary Of con-
gressmen $40, 600 year instead of s., 600, as
it as present. Members of the house of
representatives, while thoroughly in SYM
patty with the senators ON this point,
are not yet ready to go to the full
length desired by them, fearing repetition
Of the outbreak of censure visited upon the
congress of 1878 for its action on the salary
question. But it is argued by the advocates
of the increased salary that what the people
were indignant about then was the "back-
pay grab" feature and that If the increase
were made to date from the end of the Fifty
first congress no serious opposition would be
made to it. The question was debated, so 1t
is said, in one Of the secret sessions of the
senate last week, and the ground was taken
that the present salary was insufficient to
