HOW WARREN MISSED 1T.

l1ohfNA ANSIuhhNaA 9ltNAhAsl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-fhe Post to
day prints the following: Senator Warren
of Wyoming was seen in his apartments
at the Arlington last night. He is a
blonde, tall and muscular, carries himself
with easy grace. and is undeniably good
looking. He is a little past 46, but would
easily be reckoned under 40. HIS man
ners are frank and cordial and there is
about him a flavor Of the nerve, dash and
energy OF your thOrouRh-goiug Westerner.
He is a native OF Hinsdale. Mass, and
fought through the war as a mere lad,
e%miErating TO Wyoming IN 1868. His ca
reer has been one OF uninterrupted sue
cess and the word failure was never in
scribed in his lexicon. In the West sue
cesssul business men can rarely keep out
of politics, and so it was that the New
Highlander, without any hankeriug for po-
itical lite or any special effort on his part,
occupied the offices mayor of Cheyenne,
president of the upper branch OF the ter
ritorial legislature, treasurer and three
times governor OF Wyoming. the last time
after its admission to statehood. He re
signed the gubernatorial chair to be n
senator.
He laughed when a Past reporter asked
him if il wasn't fixed" that neither his
colleague nor himself should draw the
short term, which would terminates the
services OF one or the other March 4 OF
next year.
1T may atrike you "a odd" he said.
but that was the prize, and neither
Carey nor [ got It. You see the legisla.
ture now in session in our state would
have elected another senator if either OF
us had drawn the three months term ex-
piring March 4, 1891. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that as hat body preferred us
once, they would repeat their choice in
the event OF another election for senator.
This would have given my colleague or
myself a full term of six years in addition
to this short service But I'm greatly
pleased as it is, because I'm no politician,
aud think two years of senatorial lite will
do me. No, the drawing was honest
enough. Carey drew first because in
alphabetical order his name Drecedes
mine. He got the term ending in 1895
There were two slips in the hat and |
started to pick the bottom one, but let il
go for the upper. Had | adhered to my
first impulse, l would have won the
prize.n

Sponge would seem to be an unprom-
ising material for a sculptor to work
upon, but that a work OF art may be
chiseled, or rather scissored, from it is
proved by a life size statue in sponge
now in the sponge department of Nc
Kesson & Robbins, Wholesale druggists,
Of New York city. The statue repre-
sents a Greek sponge gatherer standing
in the bow of a boat, pole in hand,
gazing intently through a water teles-
cope at a piece of sponge which he is
supposed to be endeavoring to secure.
The figure is composed of numerous
pieces of what is known as leathery
potter's sponge, carefully matched as
10 color, texture and shape, so that the
statue appears to be cut from one large
piece of sponge. The artist has done
his work well, the face especially being
an excellent piece of carving Science.

State of Wyoming.
Commissioner of Pensions
Raum Roasted.
Secretary Noble After the
Pension Attorneys.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Among the
bills introduced and referred was one for
a permanent tariff commission, and one
(by Stewart for the free and unlimited
use of silver as money.
The joint resolution reported YESTERDAY
by Hawley to issue arms to North and
South Dakota aud Nebraska was taken
up. Hawley urged the necessity Of
prompt action.
Voorhees, quoted an interview with
Governor Foster, ex-member of the com
mission to treat with the Sioux, in which
Foster said the whole trouble was in the
fact that the Indians were starving. Give
them enough to eat and there will be no
further trouble.
After a lengthy debate on the Indian
question the joint resolution was amended
so as to apply to the states OF North and
South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska,
and passed.
Morgan introduced a joint resolution,
which went over until tomorrow, sppro-
priating IS. 900 for an investigation under
orders of the senate as to the causes of
the trouble among the Indians.
The elections bill was then taken up
and Pugh addressed the senate in op
position to it. The bill, he said, was never
intended to be put in operation in Re
publican districts. 1t was founded on one
proposition. and that was that the state
election officers might be watched.
guarded and overrnled because they were
Democrats. The whole conception OF the
bill was u transparent and audacious
scheme. having no other end or purpose
than the capture OF Democratic districts
and their transfer to the Republican party
in congress to be used in perpetuating its
supremacy in defiance of the will of the
people.
Gray obtained the floor. but as he did
not desire TO speak this afternoon, Blair
mo Eed to lay the election bill aside until
tomorrow and take up the displaced labor
bill.
Hoar gave notice that after today he
would endeavor to press the election bill
without having it laid aside for any ether
purpose whatever until a final vote was
reached.
Cockerell objected to the labor bill be-
ing taken up and after a number Of bills
on the calendar were passed the senate
adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Dec. An the house

HAS the bill for the punishment OF every
guardian, conservatOr, curator, tutor or
kother judiciary agent for the embezzlement
'oi~ pensions Of the war. The previous
question was ~ordered-yeas ll3, nays 92-
and the bill s,sed.
On motion OF Morrow of California the
house went into committee of the whole
on the pension appropriation bill.
Morrow explained that the bill appro-
prtated for the payment of pensions
Sl33, l73. 900, to be distributed among
654, us pensioners. This was the largest
Der of bene6ciaries ever provided for
IN any single item in the statutes of the
United States. Ii was estimated that
the gross cost Tor the United States of
these pensions Tor the year 1892 would
average S2U3 40 He believed there
would be no deficiency Dext year.
Cooper of Indiana got the floor and re
viewed all the charges made against Com
missioner of Pensions Raum, which
formed the basis OF the investigation
made last session, and asserted that they
had all been proved. The pension bureau
should be presided over BY a man above
criticism and above r~eproach. During
the last campaign the commissioner had
gone to Indiana and had invaded his
(Cooper's) district.
The commissioners only excuse was
that he might defeat Cooper's election.
The commissioner had gone to Indiana 10
prostitute his high office for partisan ends.
He Cooper had great generation for the
pension bureau, and protested that the in-
stitution should not become a spawning
place for corporations or a stall for the
sale OF patent rights, nor should it be pre-
sided over by a 'morifund and malodor-
Gus politician likened by a Republican
paper to a bad egg"
Sawyer of New York was surprised that
Cooper should make his speech at this
time before the case was closed. Cooper
had said the committee had abandoned
any further investigation, but it had been
a clear understanding that the committee
