CAPITOL TOPICS.
THE MONTANA SENATORIAL CA,

THE MONTANA SENATORIAL CASE.
The Senate elections committee took up the
Montana senatorial muddle today. Several
hours were devoted to discussing legal ques-
tons, but no conclusion was reached. In fact
the members of the committee had but just
received the printed copies of the arguments
made by Messrs. Payne and jerks two weeks
ago and had not studied them. AS to the
questions of fact in the case the members of
the committee knew little or nothing, and
Chairman Hoar and Mr.. Gray we're appointed
a subcommittee to colate the facts and report
to the committee at a meeting to be held next
Saturday.
POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
DIR. Norvin Green, president of the Western
Union telegraph company, today continued his
statement respecting the pending postal tele-
offices and post roads.
TO IMPEACH SHORTHAND ACCURACY.
The Senate elections committee has decided
to take up at its next meeting the Call-C hand.
Ter controversy over the action of the former
n revising his speech on the murder of Deputy
Marshal Saunders before it appeared in the
Record, making, MIR. Chandler asserted q
material change in the matter. 1t is said that
Senator Call will impeach the accuracy of the
reporters notes before the committee and
charge that he failed to catch the speakers re.
marks as delivered.
DOCUMENT ANNEX.
The House today passed resolution con-
tinuing the rental Of the building 220 Penn
syivanla avenue, used as an annex to the House
document room. The rental is not to exceed
500 per month.
IN OPPOSITION TO MR. wANAMAKER.
DIR. Norvin Green, president of the Western
Union telegraph company, continued his gen.
eral statement in opposition to Mr.. Wanna
makers postal telegraph scheme before the
House committee on post offices and post roads
today. DR.. Green said rates had been reduced
as low could be afforded. Compared with
the English rates those prevailing in America
were as % to 20. The average of salaries paid
to male and female operators in the London
telegraph office was 500, while in the New York
Office the average WAS S61. The postal tele-
graph system in England had been run at a
loss and this when the salaries were half as
great only as those paid in America, the lines
shorter and the country to be reached more
compact in settlement The scheme of the
Postmaster General, he said, was falacious
DR.. Green said that operators sent from tele-
portant wires when they went into telegraph
offices. 1t took them years to learn. DR.. Green
said that the Western Union conducted its
business at great cost, the average cost of q
message last year being % 4-10 cents. For the
longer distance the American rates were a
great deal less than those in Europe. The rate
in Europe for distance of 600 miles was about
~ cents, while III this country it was 40 cents.

Secretary Doyle of the commission and his

another inquiry was made by Chief Examiner
Webster and Secretary Doyle. They had re-

fusion with the postmaster. The postmaster
used to appoint man and then the board would
make up swindling certifcations. The witness
then discussed the various degrees Of guilt of
the postmaster and the members of the local
board aud showed how the board was under
duress. As soon a. Shidy was given chance
he told the truth.
Witness read from the report of the commits
that it would be manifestly improper and
wrong to punish Shidy for turning from the
error of his ways. He said that Shidy

A SoN or IssACHAR. A Romance of the Days of
Messiah. ByF.lbridge 5. Brooks New York:
q. p. Putnam's Sous.
Reference has heretofore been made in
these columns TO "a Son of lssachar,"
which first appeared as a prize story in the
Detroit Free Press. 1t now comes as hand
some volume from the Putnams. 1t is 4
vigorous aud delightful character story of
the days OF Christ. The plot is ingenuously
woven. a son of widow, raised from the
dead by Jesus, is induced to take part in
an effort to place the Savior on the throne.
He wins tie favor of d discarded Arabian
wife of Herod, and she perSuades her
father to make war against the king. The
hero proceeds TO Jerusalem to hasten the
and then falls desperately in
love with the daughter of Jarias. who has
also been raised from the dead oy Jesus.
The interest is maintained through series
of adventures, and the bringing in OF many
of the incidents connected with the life of
the Savior, until finally the hero is identi-
fed with Stephen, the martyr, and is
stoned to death. The only fault to be found
with the story is the failure of the author
to make his people think ana speak as they
OF the first commencement of the era did.
