crowds which fill every nook and Granny
of the chamber. When ingalls, is an
nounced to speak people begin arriving
at the senate two or three hours before
the session is to open, to make sure of
getting seats. Every senator is in his
place, and scores of members of the
house come over to listen to the man
from Kansas.
Since oratory is a thing comparative
and entirely dependent for rating upon
the judgment of those who listen, this
sort of compliment means something. 1t
means that ingalls, is great orator.
though it must be admitted by his warm,
est admirers that he is not natural or
atOr. He is, in fact. fine example of
what patient study, earnest determine
ton, long practice, will do for one who
desires to excel as a public speaker. In
gals has taught himself to speak, has
practiced, rehearsed, experimental, with
his brilliant wife for critic or mirror
as mentor. The only physical qualif.
cation for oratory which he possesses is
a great deep, full voice-a surprising,
delightful voice, which his study of elo-
cution has made the most of. No atten-
tive ear need miss word, not even a
syllable, of one of ingalls, addresses.
Yet with all this ingalls, is a satirist
rather than an orator. He is a tre-
mendous opponent, but poor advocate.
He lacks sympathy, magnetism, and
could never stir an audience to tears or
passion. But he can rouse distrust, ex-
cite ridicule, induce contempt. He is
sword which swishes and sisses through
the air to cleave or slash the enemy. If
ingalls, were to take to the law he should
be prosecuting attorney, never coun-
selor or advocate. Ingalls, success as
an orator shows how strong is the mod
ern taste for that which is brilliant, pol
ished, refined, dramatic.
Our most eloquent senators, those
who speak with most feeling, who have

ure, admirable flow of language, n-.g
netic earnestness, poetic style, make hin
almost an ideal orator of tho old school
The greatest natural orator in the sen
ate is Mr.. Eustis, of Louisiana. He is
big man physically, has full voice, fail
elocution, and deliberative, imposing
style which is exceedingly effective If
Ingalls, is a rapier, and Daniel a swinging
censer, Eustis is a huge, majestic steam
hammer He lacks ingalls, clear and
distinct articulation, but he has an ad-
vantage over Ingalls, in that he varies
his pace and his tone-now speaking
slowly, while the hearers wait expectant-
ly each coming crushing word, and
again pouring forth torrent; first his
voice fills the chamber with reverbera-
tions, and then it falls to loud whisper.
In these methods he resembles Henry
Ward Beecher or Charles Bradlaugh. A
teacher of elocution could take Eustis in
hand and make him one of the greatest
orators of his time, as he is already one
of the greatest orators of the senate.
Young Edward Wolcott, of Colorado,
surely comes after Ingalls, and Eustis
among the Senate orators. Like Ingalls,
he eschews gesture, and like Eustis he
is no student of elocutlon. But he has a
voice musical and winning, an easy flow

thirty feet unoccupied by senators, Mr.,
Stewart took possession of this runway,
and walking rapidly from one side OF
the chamber to the other-facing first
the Republicans and then appealing to
the Democrats from their midst-poured
out a torrent of argument, of warning
and of prophecy which made profound
impression upon all who heard it.
There are many other orators in the
senate worth writing about. Senator
Gorman, the leader of the Democratic
hosts during the recent struggle, and
now generally regarded rs "a coming
man" Is developing oratorical abilities
of no mean order. His thin, sharp
voice, somewhat like Maj. McKinley's,
has "a dramatic tremulousness in it which
quickly catches the sympathies OF audi
tors,
Senator Hoar, the Republican leader,
Is not a great orator, but he Is an earn
est, effective speaker Senator Allrich,
who had charge of the eluture rule, is a
direct, frank, buainesslike talker, and
one whom the ladies in the galleries al

the handsomest of the senators. A fluent,

is eloquent. He is the most vehement

These Stocks Are Now the Leaders OF the
NIarket-Both Benefited by Pending
Negotfations-The Latter Advances on
Heavy Sales-Other Featufes.
Whatever may be the outcome of the ne
gotiat.ons between the Pittsburg and Du-
quesne Traction companies, it is evident
that in speculative circles it is expected to
benefit both stocks.
This is clearly shown in the present boom
in these stocks. They have advanced on
parallel lines, Il rise in one being accompa-
MED or soon followed by a similar movement
in the other. They were the features of the
market yesterday, and each scored de-
cided gain Pittsburg being bid up to 461a at
the last call, with scarcely any offered. Du-
GueSne sold to the extent OF 500 shares al the
uniform price of lS without satisfying the
demand or weakening the stock. At the
last call 1871 was bid without bringing any of
it out.
There were no special changes in the rest
of the list, with the exception CT jump Of
points in CHARTERS Railway, due to large
earnings and improved prospects generally:
The natural gassers were steady. Luster held
its ground. Electric was dull and nominal.
Airbralxe was weaker, and Switch and Sig
nal strong. There was good inquiry for
nearly everything on the active list.
Sales at first call were 200 shares of Du-
quesne Traction at ls-all bought by Kuhn
Bros Before call George B. Hill & Co.
picked up 100 shares Of the same stock at the
same price. Second call, 200 shares OF Du-

Gas at 115a. There were were no sales at the
third call. Bids and offers follow:
