the h0dsOme and wclI-dressed McNliI-

three Jrds of massive gold watch chain
shone ike a streak of lightning. Sena-
tor Har kept his hat and cane in his
handSInd went away early.
On he democratic side, in the front
row., Morgan, CockrelI and Coke sat
readiR and writing, as if they never did
anything else. The p]ugnacious httIe
Mr.. Nst was listening and nodding ap-
prOviTgly to Vance, and the good-Na-
tured, big Mr.. Gray talked earnestly
to his seat mate, Mr.. Carlisle, wis
looked absolutely wOrnout with hard

as detd to the world as Rufus BlOdgett,
of New Jersey. The most uneasT man
in the chamber was Senator Hearst, Of
California. lie visited the republican
clOakIOOm for awhile, and finding
things too dull there went back to his
w tide and chewed on a cigar which
he was, apparently, just dying to light.
Senator Vance is now on the other
shore but he was very much alive on
that night. Senator DOlDh was not re-
elected, and is no longer mere 80 trouble
the stnatc with his singular PERFORM
ances, NearIy all of the men who were
present on that occasion have gone
to glory Or to private life. The stately
Ingalls,, of Kansas, who was president
pro tempOre, Is a statesman out of a
Job, and realizes that political life is an
iride6cent dream. Senator Hale is still
a member of the senate, is just as hand
SOM, fully as well dressed, quite as sar-
caste and given to o]ratorical efforts
from day to day as Of yOre. Dolph has
gone out of public life and will never
again steal an audience which belongs
to another senator. Senator Hiscock,
the handsome New York statesman, has
long been in retirement, having Leen
succeeded by David b. Hill, the sar,

New York, who is willing to be prcsi,

the orator with long sentences, all oil

back to Oshkosh, nd little Senator
Mitchell, of Milwaukee, occupies hi!
place. Senator Edmunds resigned fly,
years ago, and ex-Gov. Proctor, of Yer
mont, was elected to succeed him. Thu
changes have been numerous, but tn
| quality of statesmanIike timber has no
deteriorated.
Senator Blair, of the Blair cduCationa
bill notoriety, is a visitor in Washing
ton, his place in the senate having beef
taken by DR.. Gallinger, who is nov
chairman of the committee or pensions
| and quite a worthy sample Of New Eng
land statesman. Senator Carlisle is no
secretary of the treasury. Senator Glib
son, of Louisiana, no longer entertain
in the democratic cloakroonl. with hi
inimitable stories with morals. Sena
tor Blodgett, of New Jersey, has gon
back to the sand lots of Jersey, and il
his pIace is James Smith, the only sen
ator with a natural, unaffected, simon
pure, perfect and almost fabulous fog
horn for a voice.
