The Asior Millions.

Newport Letter 10 the Philadelphia Press.
j.. j. III. is not student or lover Of pic
lures like his father and cousins, but on
the contrary prefers outdoor amusements,
dancing and social gayeties. He is a
graduate of Harvard, and came through
that great institution Of learning like hum
dreds Of other men, by the skin Of his
teeth. His enemies say that il was his
name and not his brains that got him
through. At any rate, he got through all
right, and II may be because he is able To
cut such wide swath in social affairs
that the other young men about town do
not like him. Like all the jeunesse doree,
he is n member Of half "A dozen clubs; but
he is not club man in any sense, sensi-
bly, preferring his own luxuriant home.
He has not many friends among men, and
has never been heard OF ia bar room
brawl. THIS is one of the things in his
favor. He is a shining light in society,
aud is always sure to be invited To every
affair that Is going on. He spends good
portion of the summer al Newport, and
goes 10 Europe three or four times year.

The NATIONAL CAPITAL
Representative Ksnnsdy'S Attacks on
Senator Quay and the Senate.
The Most Objectionable Express
sions Stricken Out Before Pub
lished In the Records-The
Forfeiture Bill.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE speech OF
Representative Kennedy Of Ohio attack
ing the senate and Senator Quay, which
created such a sensation 10 days ago, ap-
peared in the Congressional Record to-day,
after having been revised by Mr.. Ken
nedy.
In his attack on the senate, after de-
clarng that Ohio has twice within de-
cade been disgraced by the senators
chosen (simply because they were able to
outbid other contestants) there is this
sentence: "Surely a cloak OF senatorial
courtesy has been used to hide the infamy
and corruption which has dishonored and
disgraced that body, once the proudest in
the land" This is the only reference to
the cloak OF senatorial courtesy, all that
portion declaring that senatorial courtesy
had become stencil in the nostrils OF the
people and cloak to cover up infamies
being omitted.
The charges made, so far as Quay Is
concerned, consist Of the excision OF the
word "criminaln where il occurs in two
places and the omission of all mention OF
Quay by name, where il was suggested in
the original speech that Judas. when he
hanged himself, had left San example for
the Matt Quays well worthy of their imlta-
tion." There is substituted therefor the
following: "An example well worthy OF
imitation.n The sentence, "The Repub'
lican party cannot afford To follow the
lead of branded criminals" is struck out
altogether, aud later on, where II was
said: Ale stands n convicted criminal
before the bar of public opinion" is
changed to read: "He stands convicted
before the bar of public opinion"

THE ANARCHISTS
A Faction Protests Against Paying a Pen.

sion to Mrs. Parsons,
CHICAGO, Sept. 1i.-The apostles of
anarchy are trembling just now at the
revolt among the members of the Pioneer
Aid and Support society, which threatens
TO dethrone their two goddesses, Mrs. A.
X. Parsons and Mrs. C.. Spies, wife and
mother, respectively, of two Of the exc.
cuted anarchists. Sometime ago the
Central Labor union, which is a fedora
tion OF German trades unions in the city,
protested through one Of its delegates
against further payment OF the semi
monthly pensions TO these women.
No action was taken. and the attack was
renewed to-day. The Central Labor
union is presenting evidence that both
Mrs. Spies and Mrs. Parsons are COM
paratively well of, owning real estate
and having other sources of income.
There were many speeches, but the vote
resulted IN favor OF continuing the pen
sions. The prevailing sentiment seemed
10 be that il the names of these women
are stricken from the rolls the association
might as well disband, for IL would no
longer be able to collect assessments TO
pay other beneilciaries. As a result of the
controversy the Central Labor union will
probably withdraw from the aid asso.
ciatiDn.
