HARRISON AS A CORRESPONDENT

Russell APP plies For Admission to the
Press Gallery.
WASHINGTON, March 1l.-Russeu B.
Harrison has decided to apply for admission
to the press galleries of the Senate and
House as the regularly accredited corre-
spondent OF his newspaper, the Journal.
published at Helena, Mont. He at first
seemed shy about making the application
himself, and got his friend, the correspond
ent of the Mail and Express, to make it
for him. But Col Sterett of Texas, the
secretary of the standing committee of COR
respondents, which has full control
OF these galleries, is a great stick
Ter for etiquette, and he objected.
lie lassoed this plan and brought it
70 the ground, beaten and discounted.
mo-" said he, ''if any man wants to be adj
mitted to this gallery he must file his appll-
cation IN the regular manner. l don't care
If the man was the Prince of Wales. it
would make no difference; he would have
to make out his application and submit it
to me. Then we will pass upon IT, II the
applicant comes up to the requirements of
the rules admitting men to the gallery, he
gets In; if he doesn't, he stays out" This
ultimatum of Col Sterett's was conveyed to
Mr.. Harrison in q diplomatic way, and it
( was effectuel.
HARRISON FILES HIS REQUEST.
To-day Mr.. Harrison asked for blank
application and he will fill it out and file it
with the standing committee OF the corre-
spondents tomorrow. Mr.. Harrison will
have tostate before he can be admitted "that
he is not engaged in the prosecution of
claims pending before congress or the de-
partments and will not become 80 while al
lowed admission to the gallery" Rule
provides thas clerks in the executive depart
menUs, land persons engaged in other oc-
equations, whose chief attention is
not given to newspaper correspond
ence," are not to be admitted.
This restriction of rule 8, which by the
way Is most rigidly enforced, will be the
chief difficulty in Mr.. Harrlson's way. Mr..
Harrison has been acting as the regular
correspondent of the Helena Journal for
some time. Messenger boys have brought
his DISPATCHES from the white house to the
telegraph Office each night, and if he will
only conform to the rules he can become a
full hedged correspondent and have bis name
in the Congressional Directory in the list OF
members of the press, who are entitled to
admission to the press galleries as follows:
Name-Harrison, Russell B., paper repre-
sented, Helena Journal; Office, white house;

PEEP INTO HISTORY.
Prof Fishes Lecture on Andrew
jackson.

OdSASO2As
Prof. John Fiske possesses the happy
faculty of presenting the facts and
philosophy of history in condensed
form without losing their in
terest. His lecture on Andrew Jack
son at Unity church last evening
took up jack sons career In 1920, where
the lecture of Tuesday ended, and dealt
with American Democracy sixty years
ago. The Martin Chuzzlewit period of
United States history and the criticisms
visiting foreigners made of Americans
and American institutions of that
time, were the subjects with
which the lecture opened. Said
the lecturer: Anyone who wishes to
understand American democracy sixty
years ago, will do well to read Mrs.
Trolloppeis book. Englishmen of that
day based their opinions of Americans
on the West. Boston and the East were
too like London. There is no such nov
city anywhere in the country now. The
period of proyineilism may be said to
have come to an end with the civil war;"
The political dissentions which led to
the election of Adams, and later to the
election of Jackson himself, were IN
terestingly treated. The Eaton affair,
and the mistaken policy of jackson in
advocating the spoils system. formed
the body of the lecture. Or the former,
Prof. Fiske said: jackson found the
yaneuishing of Wellington's veterans
an easy task compared to cenquering
the ladies on this question" OF the
latter he said: Honest jackson would
have been astonished it he had been
told that he WAS laying the foundation
Of rloS al .of,rrl1nfifst, -
Prof. Fiske's lecture was SO condensed
and comprehensive that satisfactory
quotation from it is we'll nigh Hnpossi-

sit Is upon his attitude toward the
