fourth congress, when he came as O
member of the house from an Ohio dis
trict. That was in 1866, or nearly 40
years ago.
Senator Morrill, of Vermont is another
interesting veteran. His period of serv-
ice is exactly the same as that of Mr..
Sherman. He served 10 years in the
house, and has been in the senate 20
years. 1t is too much to hope that Sen
tor Morrill, will be able to do much more
than round out DO years, for he is nearly
81 years old, and his four score and four
are manifestin his now rapidly increasing
weakness. A splendid old figure he is!
These are the two most conspicuous
veterans of the senate though there are
q number of other senator's who have
been SO long in Washington that the
town will not look natural when they
drop out Senator Allison of Iowa is
not far behind. He was eight years in
the house, from 1868 to 1871, and has
been % years in the senate, giving him
3 total service of 30 years. And to look
at him, debonair, lively, ruddy, smiling,
you would not take him to be day over
45. He is Ga, but if the fates are kind to
him he will be here ID or 90 years hence.
Senator VOORHEES, is good deal Of n
veteran himself He made his appear
ance in Washington in the Thirty seventh
congress, or two years earlier than ALI
son came, and for IL years was member
of that body. Then there was a hiatus
Of two years, the voters of his district
being perverse enough to spoil the con-
tinuity of his career by defeating him
for reelection to the Forty third con-
gress. But he was soon sent to the SEN
ate, where he has been for 16 years, Civ
ing him total service of 2S years.
Senator Frye of Maine is one of the
young looking men of the American
house of lords. No one would ever think
of classifying him with the old fellows.
Yet he came to the house as long ago as
1871 and has been here ever since-1O
years i'll the house and 12 in the senate.
He is 81 years old.
His colleague, Mr.. Hale, has led Frye
8 lively race. 1t is q remarkable coinci-
dence that these men came to the house
within two years of each other-Mr Hale
leading by two years-and then moved
up to the senate in the same month, one
to succeed Hannibal Hamlin, who de-
clined reelection, and the other to sue
coed Blaine, who had gone into Gar
fields cabinet.
Furthest Back of ALL
The man who dates furthest back Of
all is Senator Harris of Tennessee, who
was member of the house away back
in 1849. Senator Colquitt of Georgia
was here only four years later, but
neither has had long career in con-
gress. Senator Turpie of Indiana, who
is comparatively new conner, served in
the senate for short time 80 years ago
though nearly every one has forgotten IL.
Senator Hawley of Connecticut came
here 20 years ago, but has not served
continuously. Senator Cullom Of I'LL
nois has been six years in the house and
10 in the senate. Mr.. Cockrell of Mis-
souri, has been 19years in the senate, and
Mr.. Vest, his colleague, 10 years. Sena-
tor Hoar of Massachusetts is entitled to
rank among the greatest veterans. He
was eight years in the house and has

Senators and Representatives Who Have

10 Let Go-Party Fluctuations.
Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-According to
the politicians of the national capital,
the results Of the recent elections indi-
cate that there is in this country large
and constantly increasing vote that shifts
from one party to the other. In no 9TH
or way can the remarkable fluctuations
OF party majorities be accounted for.
Already the veteran observers of Wash
ington are predicting great political
changes in the near future. They say
such shaking up as we are to have in
the senate and house has not been seen
IN many years. Both parties will be af-
fected, and many of the oldest states
men, the men who have been here so
long that they are regarded as fixtures
OF the capitol, are likely to be thrown
out by changes Of public sentiment.

ever.

There was great slaughter on each SIDE.

That Will Be the End of the
White City.
Preparations Are Already Being
Made for Breaking Up the Struc-
lures Now So Beautiful.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-West Virginia and
Delaware joined hands at the White City
to-day. 1t was their day and they made
the most of it. Delaware furnished the
peaches and West Virginia the punch.
Governors Reynolds and MacCOrkle pre-
sided at Festival Hall in the afternoon,
where orators and noted vocalists of both
States participated in the exercises.
Stephen +. Elkins and John W. Harris of
West Virginia and Anthony Higgins and
James Pennewell of Delaware were
among those who made addresses.
Buffalo and Western New York also
celebrated their day at the exposition to-
day.
The beautiful white buildings of the ex-
position are to be sold as junk, and they
will soon be advertised and knocked down
to the highest bidder. About the only
things of any future use in them are the
iron and steel arches and timbers. 1t is
thought that not more than $1.0o0,000 will
be realized from the auction.
The Manufacture and Liberal Arts
building, which cost 81, 100000, will. of
necessity, it is believed, owing to the mag
nitude of the undertak ing. be given to the
man who will tear it down and carry the
debris away. Each arch of this building
contains twenty carloads of steel. all firm
ly riveted together.
After having devoted nearly three full
days to the discussion of papers and theo-
retical subjects the delegates to the
International Electrical Congress visited
the fair to-day. and made personal IN
spection of the exhibits of electrical ap-
paratus to be found there. Every arrange
ment had been made to give them all pos
sible opportunities for inspection, and the
delegates tonight say that from an elec-
trical standpoint alone the Worlds Col
umbian Exposition is the crowning triumph
of the nineteenth century.
In the livestock pavilion to-day over
S2,O00000 worth of blooded horses and
cattle were paraded in the presence of

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-As the close of

extent by the repeating forces in the mat

G. w. Stone, Dalzell, Turner and Cum

coinage. advocated caucus Of the Demo-
Gratis Of the House and Senate to interpret

Taylor of Tennessee announced himself

emergency was to stand by the Republi-
can platform.
