EFFECT OF THE WARM WEATHER.
Senator Wolcott Makes Himself Comforta able
and Others May DO So.

Senator wolcott is an incouoclast He has
done good many things which other Senators
never dared do. He fractured the most vener-
able unwritten rule Of the Senate by addressing
the chair and by moving to proceed
to the consideration Of executive bust
ness before he had drawn his first
check on tho disbursing officer, and in several
other ways has established his breezy and really
popular independence. Yesterday he broke
another idol by appearing in the Senate cham
Der with bis feet incased in tan-colored shoes.
Other features OF his apparently comfortable
costume were striped shir; and silken belt
Old Senators who saw the shoes and the shirt
and the cncircling suspender shook their heads
and hoped audibly that the example would not
be contagious. Their worst faars have, how
ever, been realized. for today Senator Gray Of
Delaware also wears russet shoes. ard there is
no telling but that he may also indulge in an
outing shirt and perhaps even a sash
Who VIII be the next Is now a question OF
more vital Importance TO the Senate than any,
thing that can be said or surmised as to pres
idential possibilities
