MR. INGALLS, TALKS.
The Kansas Senator on the
Issues of the Day.
THE REPUBLI LICAN PLEDGES KEPT

He Thinks Harrison Will Be Re-
nominated and May Garry
Some Southern States.
A Washington correspondent oi
the Inquirer telegraphs u long and
important interview had yesterday
with Senator Ingalls,. al spent an
hour mt dinner yesterday at Cham
bcrlin's with Senator John J. In
gals, of Kansas" says the CORE
spondont. "Ife Il not averso to the
pleasures of the table, but, being by
no means robust, he indulges spar
ingly. a couple of chops from q
spring lamb, three or four slices OF
raw tomatoes, two glasses of claret
and cup of black coffee constituted
his entire dinner. But he enjoyed
II. The senator kept up n running
fire OF bright sayings, comments on
'publlc men and measures, many OF
which can not berepeated without a
betrayal of confidence. The senator
was born in Massachusetts, In De
ccmber, 1893, and was educated in
Kansas during the baptism of blood
which preceded the admission of the
state of John Brown of Ossawot-
tnmic into the sisterhood of the
Union. Tho senator married II Miss
thcseDoro, OF New York, silk
manufacturer daughter, u young
and brilliant woman, who still re-
tains the charms and accomplish
ments of her earlier years. Seven
children have blessed their union,
and the eldest daughter. now visit
ing In Rochester, y. V, has written
some brilliant and promising stories
for the current magazines. Mr.. In
gals has no fortune. Like AleNau-
der Hamilton he has been compelled
to fight the battles Of his country
and the struggle with fortune at the
same time. He was worth $4,000
when became to the senate, seventeen
years ago, but the most prudent
senator, with family of children,
can not well do more than live and
keep up with the eNigencles of u
senatorial position and the eXacting
demands Of Washington society ON
his 5000 salary. Living 50 far
away from his constituents in Kan
sas, he has been compelled, practi-
cally, to abandon, for the public
service, the practice Of his profes-
sion, the law, in which he Is
eminent, and which, before he en-
tered the public service, yielded him
handsome sum every year.
Added TO this, he indorsed
for u brother of his, who
was In buslnes in Missouri, notes TO
the amount of $4,000, and the
brother being unsuccessful In busi-
ness the creditors fell upon the in
dorser, and Mr.. Ingalls, had to
sacrifice, In IA stringent financial
period, $4,000 worth Of property to
pay the notes he had signed ~
security. Then his house burned to
the ground over IA year ago In Atchi-
son, and was almost "A total loss.
NOT ALL MILLIoNAIREs.
Speaking of the popular impress
sion that the senate of the United
States Is made up principally Of
mlllionaires, Mr., ingalls, said;
"rhis is as erroneous as many
other popular beliefs. The South
ern senators as class are not rich
men and ARE, as rule, dependent
on their salaries. Outside of Leland
Stanford and Hearst, of California;
sawyer, of Wiscon in; Mcmillan,
of Michignn; Mcpherson, of New
jersey; Don Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, and one or two others, | do
not recall any other millionaircs in
the senate. Quay may be u rich
man--nobody seems to know. But
Edmunds, of Vermont, is not worth
over S2OO,OO0. and all that earned by
the law, which any brilliant lawyer
can naturally expect to accrue from
n lifetime devotion to the law a.
profession"
"What do you think of the adj
ministration ms TAR as 1t has gone,
senator?'
The senator smiled, finished his
glnss of clarct with evident relish
and said. ~ am glad you asked
me that question, and may he

opinion ] quote briefly from the
senior senator of Massachusetts. who
has said better, doubtless, than !
could:
A WARFARE OF BITTERNESS,

bitterness and unscrupulousncss of
