WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-The trouble be-
tween Senators Call and Plumb will prob
ably make them enemies for life, and
another feud will be added to the many
which now exist in the United States
Senate. A dozen odd senators do not speak
u each other already, and the bitter
political speeches of the past week
are by no means calming the troubled
waters. The stings Of debate last long after
the sessions are over, and there are personal
remarks made every session which rankle
in the souls Of the senators at whom they
are directed. Call will not forget that
Plumb called him a coward, and Plumb will
never forget Call for saving that he was a
bad man, a vain man, weak man, and q
man of boorish manners and contemplate
methods. Had these words been uttered
before the war the result would probably
have been duel, but as it is the two men
will sit in the Senate, sneer at each others
speeches, and pass by one another without
speaking.
John Sherman and Wade Hampton have
not spoken to each other for years, and the
trouble arose in reply to some CORE spond-
ence which Hampton had with Sherman
while he was Secretary of the Treasury.
Chandler wants nothing to do with Joe
blackburn since that stormy trouble arose
in the session of the committee on Indian
traders, and the senator from Kentucky at
tempted to pull the ear of the senator from
New Hampshire. Chandler denies that his
ear was pulled but he acknowledges that he
received threats and other indignities. He
will never forget them, and Blackburn will
long remember the offensive remark of Mr..
Chandler, in which he said that he would
not be bulldozed by any negro driver from
Kentucky.n
Senator Ingalls, is mixed up in half a
dozen feuds. The democratic senators as
mass hate him worse than the devil hates
holy water, and there are number of the
democratic senators with whom he can
never be on friendly terms. One of these
is Joe Brown of Georgia, whom the
Kansas senator held up to ridicule
about six years ago under the
title of the senator from Alaska.
Ii was supposed that nothing less than a
duel could come from these remarks. After
day or two, however, the matter quoted
down and nothing more has been heard of
the trouble. The two senators will, how
ever, never be friends, though both of them
hold each other in decided respect. The
Tact that they did not fight cannot be con-
Slderered an imputation upon the bravery
OF either, for both have shown themselves
10 be ready to fight in the days of the past,
and had either sent challenge there is no
uoubt that the other would have accepted
As to Senator Ingalls, bravery, there are
numerous stories told of his courage in
Kansas during and before the war. He
was sitting one day eating his dinner in
MOTEL in Atchison. 1t was at the time that
ingalls, had first come to Kansas, and he
naq already made two or three of his pyro-
echnlc oratorical displays. AS he sat there

said;
