Wizards hotel is a sort Of milestone
marking the growth of Washington. It
is within the memory of men now living
that what is now the spacious hotel was
merely a country inn. with trent of not
more than thirty feet. The oldest por-
ton Of the grand hotel of today was built
about three-quarters of a century ago,
and was known first as the City hotel,
afterward as WiIliamson's and again it
was called Fuller's, under which it was
known until along in the SOS, when the
Willard brothers took the house and
gave it their name As the city grew
the house grew, until it now occupies
more than two-thirds of a block OF
ground. its many stories Of apartments
furnishing accommodation for a thou
sand guests.
Through its many years it has ever
been the fayorite resort Of statesmen IN
both houses of congress. Many consulta-
tons which had for their object the hap
piness of millions have been held there.
During the war officers Of all grades
found it a welcome refuge from the
wearisome details and privations of cam
paigning. Presidents-elect have gone
out from it to take the oath Of Office.
Many caucuses of great moment, decid-
ing important stepsof public policy, have
been held there. Young benedicts and
their brides visiting the capital feel that
their wedding tour has not been perfectly
rounded unless they visit the famous
hosiery. The building now h;ss front
of $50 feet on Pennsylvania avenue and
runs $50 feet on Fourteenth street. 1t is

A Tale with n Moral.

A special six inch gun has just been
made at the naval ordnance foundry al
Washington. and the ordnance officers
are tickled half TO death over the fact
that it has been constructed in tifty-two
days.
1t is small gun, as guns go nova
days, and it wouldn't be worth much
for defense against first rate power.
But if such a power should attack us it
would take at least ffty-two days TO
make another one like 1t.
And in fifty-two days from the declara-
ton of war foreign feet would have
bombarded New York and Boston and
Baltimore and Charleston, and sailed
away again. In these days nations don't
wait year after declaring war before
beginning to fight
The obvious moral is that we must
prepare for contingencies while there ls
time and opportunity. Norwich Bulle-

.suappirg. Out West.

"Swapping is always associated with
western life, y said real estate broker TO
a reporter. Zone always imagines a
cowboy or ranchman meeting another
and exchanging horse for gun. and a
blanket or number of cattle for piece
of land. This barter is not only carried
on in the west. You would be surprised
to see what queer transactions we have
to make sometimes. A lady in this city
who had some fine diamonds, wished 10
make an investment in real estate, but
had no money TO invest. She came to us
and we managed TO get piece Of land
for which she gave some Of her diamonds.
The man who disposed Of the land did
not want the diamonds after he had re
ceived them. and he again managed to
exchange them for n share in a good pay
inc business in small country town.
Sometimes all the stock in the store viii
be valued and taken for real estate, some
times horses and carriages viii be given

convention framed as long ago as 1864,
to which the United States and Chile
have still signified adhesion. In view
of the allegations made to the
effect that the Chieans practice
inhuman barbarity, such as mas
sacring prisoners and wounded men,
and mutilating dead bodies, it may be
reassuring to our soldiers to know that
this convention is "for the ameliora
ton OF wounded in armies in the field.n
By some oversight the convention was
never before officially published. 1t
guarantees neutrality and protection to
ambulanc eand hospital corps, and pro-
vides that wounded or sick soldiers
shall be taken care of without regard to
nationality. 1t also contains ample
provisions for the succoring of wounded
or wrecked sailors, and, in brief, throws
around combatants every possible
guarantee of humane treatment in the
event of being wounded or captured.
GREAT GUNS.
There are now completed at the
Washington gun foundry twenty
6-inch rifles and sixteen OF and 10-inch
calibres, making the present stock
thirty-six guns OF modern patterns that
are practically available for immediate
use. 1t usually takes about fifty days
of eight hours each to make 16inch
guns, but when the twenty-four-hour
system is put into operation the period
can be cut down to about seventeen
days. The twelveinch gun recently
completed at the navy yard for the
Monterey cost SAG 600, according to final
reports received at the navy department.
The labor on it cosS but $4,000. The gun
weighed 104, 900 pounds, and thus cost
about 40 cents per pound, or nearly half
the average cost Of guns OF the same size
abroad. This is regarded as an excel
lent showing for the foundry. 1t is de-
MED at the navy department that any
order has been issued to exclude visitors
from the Washington navy yard.

Associated Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The popular
movement for the election OF United
States senators by vote of the people is
likely to be one of the most important
subjects discussed by the present con-
gress. 1t seems likely to be the one
great subject of national interest upon
which party lines will not be drawn,
and from this fact the advocates OF the
proposed reform derive encouragement
of ultimate success. While it is prob
able that of the dozen joint resolutions
on the subject introduced in the two
houses, or in course of preparation,
most of the authors are Democrats, yet
several of the most emphatic advocates
of the amendment are prominent Re-
publcans. Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
who has long stood as an exponent of
this popular principle in the west, and
who ascribes his election solely to the
favor with which the people
OF Illinois received the new theory,
will take charge of the reform
movement in the senate, while Repre-
sentative Johnson, Republican repre-
sentative from North Dakota, will be
the most aggressive advocate of the con-
stitutional amendment in the house. In
Representative Bryan, of Nebraska /;
Enloe. OF Tennessee Springer, of Illinois,
and Miller, of Wisconsin, he will have
warm cooperation; but johnson will
probably be conceded the leadership of
the new movement, because of his re-
peated assertions that to the violation
OF that principle was solely due his
defeat in the memorable contest in North
Dakota.
The house committee on elections of
president, vice-president and represen-
tatives, at a meeting today gave special
attention to various propositions. The
joint resolution which Miller urges, pro-
poses constitutional amendment Civ
ing one United States senator to each
state primarily, and an additional sena-
tor for each million of inhabitants, all
to be elected directly by the people.
Miller conteEded that the smaller states
have disproportionately large repre-
sentation in the senate, and his scheme
would be to secure a more equitable
representation.
Other speakers directed argument to
the broad question of the advisability of
the election OF senators by direct vote of
the people. Corporate influences, it was
urged, were too potent factor in the
election of senators by legislatures. At
tention was called to the frequency of
charges of corruption and bribery made
