WASHINGTON, March 9.-The uncertainty
surrounding the disposition of the Que tions
raised by the recent consideration Of execu-

work Of the Senate for this week. Senator
Dolph's committee will tomorrow resume
the interrogation, under oath, of members
of the Senate respecting their connection
with the 'leaIls" in the past and the report
of their discoveries may precipitate another
discussion similar to that OF last week. So
much of the time of the Senate was taken
up with that discussion that the Blair edu-
cational bill was not disposed OF, and
it still heads the calendar as the
unfinished business Very general
feeling exists in favor OF closing the debate
this week and Of taking a vote on the billif
possible. But that may not be secured
until a week from tomorrow. Mr.. Higgins
Of DelawaSe is announced for speech in
favor of tile bill Monday, and Mr.. Evarts
will close the debate In support of the
measure.

and elections on the Montana case is likely
to be made this week, but the debate that

will be reported from the committee on
appropriations this week, and It's considera-
tion urged at the earliest possible moment

NO MORE FUN WITH MARTIN.
He is Now One of the Favorites With
the Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The newspaper
boys have about got through having their
fun with Martin of Texas. Anybody know
ing him soon finds out what a thorough
good fellow he is. and that his quaintness of
speech and dress are but a reflection of an
unconventional but none the less genial
character. Il is foolish notion Of some
people that provincial dialect is sign of
illiteracy. Mr.. Martin is an educated gen
tleman of good family, inherited means,
and skilled and successful in the practice
of law. He was member of
the Texas Senate before the war
and the youngest man who ever sat in that
body. He entered the confederate service
as private in the Fourth Texas regiment,
q corps d'elite, and never saw his home or
missed fight for four years. After the
war he became both planter and lawyer,
and in the latter capacity served term as
district attorney. He is the most popular
man in his district, and can come to con-
gress as long as he wants to do SO. The
Texas delegation in congress is full of strong
men in one way or another, and all Of them
have marked individuality Of character.
