THE SENATORS.
Their Impressions Regard

A TRIP AROUND THE CITY.
Senator Pugh Says That the
New Federal Building
Will Not Do.

train from the north, yesterday morn
ing, there steamed into the Wolfskill
depot special Of three cars, containing
the Senatorial Committee, whose accept
ance of the invitation of the Chamber OF
Commerce, of this city, to look over this
section, was hailed with much delight
by the commercial interests here. The
Hon. 8. M. White, Major E. W. Jones
and Mr.. NJ. r. Higgins, were on hand to
receive the distin guished visitors, who
were soon standing on the platform, the
cynosure of hundreds of eyes, for large
crowd of the curious had assembled to
see what the legislators looked
like. The first recognized was
Senator G. F. Hear, of Massachusetts,,
whose kindly, old-fashioned, smooth
shaven face and general ensemble re-
minded one Of Denman Thompson, in
the Old Homestead. Senator William
B. Allison, of Iowa, was the next to
claim attention, and with smooth-shaven
upper-lip, showing a strong, resolute
mouth, he looked like man who would
be hard to sit down upon. Senator j.
N. Dolph, OF Oregon, would attract at
tention anywhere. A tall, fine.looking
man, with long brown beard, besprinkled
with silver, he carried himself with a
martial air that would indicate
early disciplinary training. Senator
Pugh looks what he is-a prince
among good fellows. A forid complex
ion, with beard and moustacbe worn in
the Southern style, he would impress a
clubman as a good person to have in the
next chair at dinner and the selection
would be a good one, for the Senator is
An eloquent speaker and is recognized as
one CT the best lawyers and thinkers in
the South.
SLIGHT ACCIDENT.
Enquiry being made for Senator Eugene
Hale, of Maine, disclosed that he was, TO
a certain extent, invalided as the result
of slight smash-up the day before,
when travelling between San Jose
and Haywards. The special in which
the Senators were seated ran
into train standing in depot, wrecking
both the engines ard throwing Senator
Hale and Assistant General Manager w.
G. Curtis from their seats. The Senator
received a slight shake-up, but Doctor
Ainsworth, the surgeon here for the
Southern Pacific, says that the injuries
are not very serious, and that Mr.. Hale
will probably be able to be out and about
again to- day.
1t was intended to have entertained
the legislators at breakfast at the Depot
Hotel, but they had already arranged to
take their matutnal meal in their
cars, so that part of the pro-
gramme was dropped. The ladies
of the party, Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Hoar
and Miss Stoughton went to the West
minister Hotel, and thither also departed
Senator Hale, who had on advice of
Doctor Ainsworth, decided to remain in
bed during the rest of the day. A trip
through the cars disclosed the welcome
face of Mr.. w. G. Curtis, Assistant
General Manager of the Southern Pacific,
who is acting as hest for the company
during the Legislators travels about the
coast.
In the second coach we're seated a
number of Washington officials, who are
escorting the Committee, and who are
also looking after the business details,
fer those in the party are Secretary Jno.
M. Merriam, Sergeant-at-Arms @. B..
Reed, Assistant E. w. Dougherty and
Stenographer A. Johns.
