WASHINGTON, Jan. IA caucus Of Re-
publican Senators viii be held next
Monday, perhaps OF the residence of one
of the Senators, and perhaps at the
Senate chamber. TIE meeting place
has not been agreed upon. The OBJ
ject of the caucus IS to agree
upon q programme for the week and to
consider one or two proposed amend
ments to the new rule now pending.
The new rule, il agreed to in its present
form, will cut of the v2te on almost al
amendments after the previous question
has been ordered. Under 1t, il will be
possible TO take only four votes on
amendments. A number Of amendments
have been prepared TO be reported from
the esectious committee, and in
order to insure a vote an them
an amendment to the rule viii probably
be offered, providing that after the pre-
vioGs question has been ordered vote
may be taken on amendments reported
| from standing committees.
Senator Aldrich said this afternoar
that he would be willing to vote for sucl
an amendment and for an amendment
| providing for vote on reasonable
number Of amendments offered by il

him inducements to go there and it is a

gives the critics so much concern, cuts
little or no figure in his calculations.
His business first of all is to make
money. If i'll the course of that delight
full occupation he can manage to per-
suade the public that his aspirations are
of loftier kind, so much the better for
his real object. Barnum, the greatest
Snowman of the age, knew the potency
OF humbug, and almost every Theatrical
manager copies Rarnum. Each has the
greatest attraction of the time" each
is an adept in the employment of ex-
travagant adjectives for advertising pur-
poses, and each sends out an emissary in
advance to plaster the walls with excess
i've promises and blazon forth the glo-
ries of the coming show.
Advance work, as it is called, is re-
garded by many professionals as the
tombstone of financial success. The
agent, however, Is the general scapegoat
OF the business. Should company meet
with bad luck in any town the blame is
invariably thrown upon the shoulders of
the advance agent. He is accused of
imperfect billing" of neglecting the
newspapers AMI general carelessness.
On the other hand, such is the perversity
of theatrical nature, should the company
play to packed houses the stars appro-
pirate all the credit to themselves. The
advance agent is then completely forgot
ten. They care not whether his work
was well or i'll done. The artists plume
themselves upon their drawing" powers,
while the manager chuckles over the
dollars in the treasury and prides him
self Oh the shrewdness of his Cooking"
Sometimes, however, the director of
tour combines in himself the duties of
manager and advance agent. In such
cases misfortune is ascribed to the ''rot-
tenness" of the stand the theatregoers
are accused of lack of appreciation, and
the local management of almost criini-
nal incompetency. The advance man
ager cannot consistently "roast" himself,
while the company, however much they
are disposed to make faces behind his
back, are compelled for prudential rea-
SONS to accept the situation as gracefully
as they can.
1t will be readily understood that
the advance agent has hard row to
hoe. His duties are of a miscellaneous
character. He has to see that local man
ayers live up to the terms of their con-
tracts, to watch that they do not shirk
their quota of advertising or prove de-
linquent in the matter of billing. He
has to jostle the bill poster, make friends
with the newspapers, procure hotel rates
for the company and contract with the
transfer people for the transportation oe
scenery and baggage to and from the
theatre and hotels Then he has to
make himself walking advertisement
of the attraction. On no occasion must
he neglect to sound its praises. In the

GETTING AROUND TIE EDITOR.
where men congregate, he is expected to
talk shop. His whole being must be
permeated with the grandeur of the or
ganization he represents; his life on the
road consecrated to extolling its merits
in the aggregate, and expatiating on the
superlatiyc ability of its individual
members.
All this requires tact and resources of
no moan order. At times it demands
uncommon energy to work one night
stands. In remote sections railroad
connections are often perverse and ag.
gravating. The advance agent cannot
make his destination until late in the
afternoon, and must leave early the fol
lowing morning SO as not to slur the
next stand. This calls for hustling in
the most laborious sense of the term
an unusual expenditure of physical and
mental energy.
Of late years there has been growing
disposition ON the part of managers t.
employ newspaper men as advance
agents. The competent journalist often
possesses bright business qualifications;
he is. moreover, never without tact, and
his knowledge of men and affairs makes
him invaluable on the road. The routine
CT advance work is easily learned; day
or two suffices to initiate him into the
mysteries of show printing and bill post
ing, and there is nothing very occult in
the So called tricks of the trade. His
professional sense of justice may occa-
sionally lead him into disputes with local
managers or less conscientious agents.

that it is the duty of all newspaperdom

These are few of the annoyances of
the agent OF the road. There are others,
however, which are not SO easily borne.
Not infrequently he is blamed for the
shortcomings of local managers. For in
stance, he has left sufficient paper to
profusely bill certain town. and laid it
out" carefully for the poster. The com
pany arrives to find little paper on the
walls, and the manager swears it was
the fault of the agent, who is not there
to defend himself. The message then
hurled at the innocent man in advance
is not always conducive to his piety.
But the worst evil he has to contend
against is the failure of the manager or
treasurer to send him funds on the road.
He arrives at town where his stipend
and expenses are to meet him without
cent after paying railway fare.
A visit to the express Office results in
the cheerful information that no money
package has been sent. He strikes the
local manager for a loan, and receives

only half the amount he needs. He
