Mr.. Bushnell tell What He
Thinks of Congress.

The retiring members of the WiscoH-
sin delegation in congress were invited
by the Washington correspondent of
The Milwaukee Sentinel to give their
impressions received during the one
term which they served The replies
are printed. Congressman Bushnell,
the representative Of this district,
says
"1on want to know my impressions

PARTY lines got most wonderfully
twisted all over the country last week.
Republican gains have been the rule
although some usually safe republican
cities have elected democratic mayors.
There is 10000 republican majority for
supreme Judge and two university re-
gents in Michigan Denver gives 1000
and St. Louis s, 600 republican majority.
Chicago gave Carter Harrison about
10000 majority. Republicans carry

able figure as that they had seen
the streets of Kiiburn when they
looked out OF the window. The min
lister, while expressing utter inability
to account for the declarations OF his
family, would not commit himself to
any belief in the supernatural, but
betrayed an interest In the whole sub
ject which did not dovetail into his
strained attempts to laugh the matter
over. In reply to further qusStions,
he said that one OF the Wesleyan
ministers who had preceded him had
died in this house; and that when he
told his friends of his family's expert
ences, he discovered, for the first time,
that Mrs. Gibson, the wife of his i'm,
mediate predecessor in the house. had
also met with some uncanny expert
ences.
Asked whether he had taken GER
tain floors up in his hunt for some
explanation of the m~ystery-for SO
ran the gossip of the neighbor-
hood, the reverend gentleman said
that in the top bedroom there had
long been a recurrent and intermit-
tent smell Of an utterly indescribable
kind. The room was quite away FROM
drains of anything which he could
imagine as the cause for the emuvium,
and the floor had been taken up i'll
