crate soldier was represented on the stage.
OF all the rowdy-looking scamps ] ever
saw they were the worst. Take the old
Johnny at his worst, when he was in
rags and barefooted, there was gamey
look about him that was unmistakable.
But artists and authors seem 10 delight in
representing him as tramp and with a
look in his face as though he had just
been tumbled ont of a boX-car.

plenty of old soldiers here who can in

"lfthe Confederate Army looked like the

"Buck" Gilgorc, the man from Texas
who kicked the door against Representa-
tive Dingley's nose, is dignified and states
maplikc enough in appearance, but he is
as good-naturcd and ready for any kind
of joke us schoolboy. In the closing
hours of the session on Wednesday Mr..
Kilgorc frightened his colleagues by
raising the point, mo quorum" and for
some time refusing TO withdraw 1t, al
though prayerfully urged to do so by men
on both sides of the chamber.
Various stories have been told as to the
arguments which finally prevailed on Mr..
kilgore to induce him to withdraw his
point, but the true one has not yet been
printed. There is in Washington club
of newspaper correspondents known as
the South Mountain Fishing Club. The
members of the club are as devoted q lot
of disciples as lzaak Walton ever had, and
every spare afternoon they have from
their duties they spend up the Potomac
in pursuit of the gamey bass. For some
time the members of the club have been
preparing for grand two weeks fishing
trip in North Carolina, to be begun inn
mediately after the adjournment of Con-
gress.
They made all their preparations on the
general Understandings that Congress would
adjourn on Wednesday last, and were
even more anxious to get away than most
Of the members of the House. One of the
newspaper men who compose the club is
employed on the floor of the House, and
when he saw the persistence with which
Mr.. Kilgore adhered to his point of no
quorum he was filled with alarm lest the
North Carolina fishing trip should be
broken up by the failure of Congress to
adjourn.
The newspaper man is on friendly terms
with Mr.. Kilgorc, and at last went to him
and begged him, in the name of the South
Mountain Fishing Club, to withdraw his
point Of no quorum and let the House ad-
1ouIn on time. The newspaper man
pleaded so hard and presented his case
with such fcryid eloqience that the big
and good.natured statesman at last had his
heart melted, and consented to withdraw
his obstructive point for the sake of the
South Mountain Fishing Club. In return
the newspaper men have sworn allegiance
to Kilgorc, and have offered to go down to
Texas and stump his district for him after
their return from their fishing tap.

General Tony Forsythc.

IRON ne NtU l0fE SuR.
II will be a great while before the old
comrades of General Forsythe can be
made to believe that he has been guilty of
cruelty or any other misdemeanor in the
Indian war now raging in South Dakota.
An experienced Indian fighter, and for
years the chief of staff to Sheridan, he is
justly famed, not only as a level-hcaded
and prudent soldier, but as humane,
sensible man in all the relations of life.
He is a veteran who may be trusted any
where to do his whole duty against Indians
or white men, and the entire country, as
well as his companions in arms, may
Justly be indignant at his untimely arrest
and relief from the command of his gal
liant regiment, merely because in battle
few women and boys, who were armed and
fighting, as is their custom, should have
been killed.
There is good reason for the belief that
the present Indian war is blunder, If
not n fraud, but no one can justly charge
the troops or their field officers with the
responsibility for il. II is much more
likely that the Administration and Cen
eral Miles are the parties to blame, and
are now trying to cover up their own
mismanagemen by bringing discredit
upon their subordinates. This is an old
game and Congress should see to il that il
II not played to the detriment and injury
of the officers and men who have no
function but TO obey orders. A Congress
sional investigation into the causes Of the
war Is much more appropriate NJ this
time than court martial for any officer
engaged in the active campaign.

Worlds Fair Rulings.

Secretary Window has issued a circular
to customs officers in regard to the free
entry of articles for exhibition Mt the
Worlds Fair. No duty, fees or charges
for customs services are to be exacted, ex
cept where merchandise is sold for con-
sumption in the United States. Articles
which are government property, used
solely for government purposes and not
intended for sale in this country will be
admitted upon n certificate by the COM
missioner of the government to which
such property belongs.
When articles have been placed on ex-
hibition they shall remain under the GUS
tody of the customs officers, and shall not
be removed unless entered for withdrawal.
Existing regulations requiring exports
to be made in original packages will be
waived.
Collectors of customs will report to the
Secretary of the Treasury any case in
which they may regard the regulations
insufficient to secure the interests of the
revenue.
The deterioration of perishablc goods
and the consumption of articles as sam
pies will receive special consideration
upon the receipt of report from the Col
lcctor of Customs at Chicago establishing

Counting Ones Wife.


There is far too little courting done in
the world.
The average young man acquits himself

Cient amount of tender and deterential
consideration upon her to satisfy her
natural and praiseworthy demands for

But the married, and especially the
middle-aged married man, is usually very
dcIelict. lie does no counting ut all,
though he is under special obligation to
do deal of it, very persistently. He has
pledged himself in marriage to make one
sweetheart happy, and he knows per
fectly that the essential condition ofeyery
good woman's happiness is that she Shall
be courted with good deal of regularity.
The married man does not mean To
neglect his duty. lie cherishes the wife
Of his youth with a tenderness far deeper
than any that he felt for her in the salad
days of their woOing But he is busy,
meoccupicd, comfortable, md he feels q
calm assurance and satisfaction IN her
affection, which he expects her to feel
in her turn. He takes these things for
granted in his mans way, and expects
his wife to take them for granted, too,
forgetting that that is not the wOman's 5
way.
The best thing n married man can do Is
to court his wife, 10 treat her with all the

THE MERCHANTS CLUB OF BOSTON
Favor Paying the Losses of American

French Prior to 1900.


shipping by the Deprcdations OF the
French Prior to 1900.
Fttm me NeiC FORK Nql and Erpress.
President B. +. Stevens of the celebrated
Merchants Club of Boston, at recent
club meeting said; suppose there is no
one within the sound of my voice who
has not heard or read Of what are now
called the "old French claims" which
grew out Of the aggression of the French
Republic upon American commerce prior
to The year $500, which claims were as
sumCd by the United States Government
as an Offset to claims which France
brought against our Government.
For nearly one hundred years these
claims have been bone of contention,
first between the two nations and then be-
tween the individuals injured and the
United States.
OF the many champions who have
stood up in defense of the payment of
these claims was the renowned Senator of
Massachusetts,, Charles Sumner. His
name will go down to posterity with
those of Marshall, Madison, Pickering,
Clay, Webster, Everett, Cushing and
Choatc, all of whom considered these
claims valid against the United States.
For forty-onc times within the past
eighty years reports have been presented
this obligation.
Referring to the history of the claims,
the speaker said that after the breaking
out of the French revolution France
seized the cargoes and vessels of all neu-
trails, American among them, in conse-
quence of England's attempt to stop all
traffic with French ports.
When the United States claimed, and
presented claims for damage done to her
private shipping, France presented the
counter claim that our Government had
failed to observe the treaty of alliance in
117S, not only in not attempting to defend
the French West Indies but also by
actually declaring itself neutral in the
contest between republican France and
the monarchies of Europe.
In September, 1900, the dispute was
finally settled by ofrsetting those claims
against each other-France agreeing to re-
lease the United States from the onerous
obligations of the treaty of 171S, and the
United States releasing France from the
payment Of the claims for captured ves-
sells and cargocs. by this arrangement
the United States herself assumed the
debt due by France to the owners of the
despoled vessels and cargoes in question,
and she continues to this day to be their
debtor.
Notwithstanding the numerous favor
able reports made, twice only have bills
been passed by Congress for Che payment
of these claims, one OF which was vetoed
by President Polk and the other by Presi-
| dent Pierce.
"But, gentlemen of the Merchants s
Club" said the speaker in closing, 'if we
are to Judge from the preponderance of
| evidence, these claims are justly due and
should be paid The honor of our Gov
ernment is pledged to do it. Let us hope
that nt no distant day the poor, unfortu-
nate claimants Of this and other cities
may have justice done them, which,
though tardy may not come too late for
their earthly happiness"

Senator FNrtKSER to authorize the Presi-
dent 10 appoint railroad commission for
Washington * most important local
matter There Is and has been for years,
and probably will continue to he in the
future, constant agitation by railroad
companies desiring entrance to the city,

All of these matters il sproposcl, under
this resolution to submit to a commission
To be appointed by the President The
president of the Board OF District Com

investigate all applications for entrance to

entire railroad question of the District

This seems an excellent way to ap-
proach u most difficult matter. The gem

will be probably especially fitted to deal

ample time and every facility to gain in

Stepniak in America,

FJtm Wt -NtW JWN NOffu, OpW.
Among the passengers that arrived on
the umbria yesterday was the Russian
Nihilist, Stepniak, who comes to this
country for the purpose of arousing an
interest in the revolutionary Dvement
in Russia and also to secure fInds by n
course of lectures for the continuance of
his newspaper, Tree Russia, which is pub
lished in London.
Hundreds of Russians were on the dock
to welcome him. Tile Russian Is pscu-
liar looking person. He is tall, with
head of black, kinky hair, which appears
to be standing on end; n black, bushy
beard, brown eyes and rosy checks. In
repCse the man is fercc-looking but that
impression is dispelled as soon as he be-
gins to converse, his manner being charm
ing. His wife, who accompanies him, is
very beautiful woman.
Stepniak, the name signifying "son of
the steppes," is 80 years old, and. while a
lieutenant in the Russian Army, he be-
came interested in the revolutionary
movement. In order to spread its doctrines,
he resigned his commission and became u
school teacher The Government placed
its ban upon him, and, in 1873, he had to
flee the country. He has returned sew
trouble with the Government, he became
the founder of the "Illegal People," a
class that the Russian Government say
have no legal right to live, on account of
their seditious conduct
Since his banishihent from Russia, Step
MAX has lived in England, France, Switz-
erland and Italy. In the latter country
he wrote his famous underground Rus
sia." During his stay in England he has
been received in the highest circles, many
of his followers and financial supporters
beinp representative pcopie At one time
he was writer on the London Times. IN
order to Offset the effect on the English
public of Stepniak's teachings the Gar
sent Nine. Novikof to the British metrop
