WASHINGTON, D. O., March 4.-Quite
number OF members of Congress have
already left the city and others leave to-
night for their respective homes.
The maiority, however, will tarry
over a few days TO dispose an accumu-
lation Of department and other official
business. Ex.Representative Atkinson
will remain until Friday. He will then
20 TO Wheeling and at once resume the
practice Of his profession. He says,
however, he will take as much interest
in politics as ever and will continue to
be the recognized representative, 30 far
as appointments and other matters are
concerned in Washington relating alone
TO the First district, He expects to be
an occasional visitor to Warrington
even II he is not member OF Congress.
Rx.repressntative Charles B. Smith, OF
Parkers6urg will take his departure
tomorrow and will resume business
pursuits. Mr.. Smith has not been very
well during the last week and the strain
Of the last few days has almost exhausted
him. No mau has made greater num-
Der OF warm and sincere friends than has
"GharleyP Smith during his one term
in the House OF Representatives.. He
has been attentive to his duties and has
probably missed lees number OF roll
calls than any other member OF the
House.
Representative Alderson returns to
his home tomorrow afternoon. Hesays
he will practice law during the long re-
cess and already has business in court
awaiting his arrival. Mr.. Anderson ex-
pected to be bounced" before the end
Of Congress. Personally it is said that
he would not have cared puch II the
House had, during the last week, passed
on the McGinnis contested election case.
While Mr.. Alderson belieyed he was
entitled to the seat his friends say that
il he had been unseated 1t would have
been political benefit TO him. Politics
aside, most everybody regrets that Major
McGinnis wOs not given an opportunity
to draw tho salary that would have been
allowed him had the House voted Alder
son out and him In.
Representative Wilson will return to
his home the latter part Of the week, but
will be q frequent visitor to Washington
during the recess. Mr.. Wilson has made
no plans for the summer.
Senator Frulkner and family will re-
tain their Capitol Hill residence until
the first OF next month, when they will
return to Martinsburg, and the Senator
will give his attention during the recess
to bis Law business and State politiCs
NIr. Faulkner is probably one Of the
most industrious members Of the Senate.
He is certain to receive promotion next
winter in the arrangements OF the
Senate committees,
Senator Kenua will remain here with
his family until some time in April,
with the exception Of few days visit
to Charleston. Before the frat Of May
the entire family will remove to Charles
ton and remain there for the summer.
Senator Kenna is building boat which
is to be used on the aot6mae Tor dlok
hunting purposes. It Is to be alter the
asylc Of a Pullman buffet sleeping coach
on water, although not 50 elaborately
finished.
Senator Kenna's health is much I'm.
proved.
