United States Senator from Indiana
and Democratic Leader or Ma.
tional Reputation.

tional Reputation.
The subject Of this sketch, whose
picture we give above, Hon. Daniel
Wolsey Voorhees,, known far and
near as "The Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash" was born IN Butler coun-
ty, Ohio, September &c, 1927, and
is therefore in his Goth year. While
yet an infant his parents moved to
the "Hoosler State" where he has
ever since resided. The Senator
now lives at Terro Haute, one Of
the thriving cities of the State, con-
tanning about $4,000 inhabitants Is
aud situated on the Wabash river
right in the heart of the beautiful
and fertile Wabash Valley, along
which grow many magnificent syca-
more trees whose boughs reach ont
over the beautiful river that glides
onward to the sea. In early life our
hero obtained the name of "The
Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" and
it has ever since clung to him.
He was educated at the Asbury
University at Greencastlo, now
known as De Paw University, and
graduated in 1849. He studied law
and was admitted to the bar in
1851, and began to practice in Gov
Ington in the same year. He ran
for Congress IN 1856, but was dc
featcd, and in 1853 was appointed
u. S. District Attorney for Indiana,
which Office he held till 1861. In
1859 he went to Virginia at tho re-
quest of Gov. Ashbel p. Willard,
of Indiana, to defend John E. Cook,
the Governors brother-in-law, who
had been put on trial for partlcipa-
tion in John Browns raid, as he
had already gained fine reputation
as a. lawyer aud orator. He was
then elected to Congress and served
from 1861 till February %, 1866,
when he was ceuated out, his seat
having been contested by Henry ID.
Washburn. But he was again elOa.
ted in 1869 and served till 1873.
During his service in tho House he
was an active member Of the Com.
mittee on Elections, Appropriations,
Judiciary, Revision OF Laws, and
the Pacific Railroad. On the death
Of U. s. Senator Oliver p. Morton,
he was appointed to the vacancy
and took seat in the Senate, No
vember 10, 1877. lie was elected
to full term in 1870 and reelected
in 1885 and in 1891. SO that he
has been in the highest legislative
body Of our land continuously since
1877, a period Of sixteen years,
and with four years yet of his pres
ent term to serve. He has long
since been recognized as one OF the
abIest speakers in Congress, and
whenever he has anything to say,
he commands attention. lie is a
tall, fine looking man, and when he
gets up to speak, he towers above
tho crowd so majestlcally and waves
those long arms around so grace
fully, like one Of the great syca-
mores that grow on the Wabash a.
home, hence the popular name by
which no is often referred to. lie
has always been an ardent Demo
crat and one Of the national leaders
Of the party.

suppose clgnt out or oYory ten
wives go through the same oxper-
fence as to money matters. When
We had returned from our bridal
tour Mr.. Bowser said to me:
While half Of what have
belongs to you do not propose
that yeu shall be obliged to beg for
your half. Boing the head of tho
house shall carry tho wallet, but |
propose to hand you over a certain
sum every Saturday night 1t will
DO pin-money."
How good you arc -
al think it is only just and right.
l know dozen married men whose
wives have to almost get down on
their knoos to get dollar. could
kick such man. How much do
you think you can use week p'
"A-A-a-dollar, perhaps"
+" A dollar I! Ny wife trying to
get along OH dollar week Why,
you little darling, you shall have at
least ten, and if that is not sufficient
I'll make it $40 or S30."
1t was tho old story over again.
He cut me down to $S-s7-$5-s4
-s2-and at length, when VIC had
been married about four months
and l asked him for a dollar he
turned on me with
" What More money Do you
think I've got a gold mine What
on earth do you want money for 3'
" I've got to get a few little
nstions.
T" But you can't want dollars
worth-a whole dollars worth.
Here's thirty cents, and ! hope you
will remember that these are hard
times and money is money"
One evening, when we had COM
pany, the talk fell upon this very
subject, and Mr. Bowser promptly
observed
e" A wife has just as much right to
the family wallet as tho husband
and there ought to be a law to
enforce this right"
&" You make your wife an allow
ance, Of course ?" queried one OF
the ladies.
4" Certainly, and never ask
what use she makes Of it. That
reminds me that this is Saturday
night and / owe her two weeks
salary"
lie opened his wallet and handed
me three ten-dollar bills, and five
married ladies exclaimed in chorus:
" How --I-wish-I-was-Mrs.
Bowser 70
Before the evening was over / had
the money hidden away, and our
company had scarcely departed
when Mr.. Bowser held out his hand
to me.
What is it ?''
Hand over"
" What do you mean ?"
"That thirty dollars."
" But 1t is my allowance. You
said SO before all the people, and
now you won't be lnjun enough to
take il back"
" You know very we'll why gave
it to you. II was to show of over
Thompson and Jones, who never
allow their wives a cent"
" Well, I'll see about It,"
After We had been in bed half an
hour, and he thought / was asleep,
he got up and searched about for
two long hours after that money.
! had tucked it behind the clock IN
the sitting room, and he found It at
last, and when he got into bed I
heard him chuokling:
"The idea Of any sane husband
giving his wife $50 all in a lump :
Why, she'd have Just wasted two
thirds Of fity'
We had been married about
year. lie ran in and gaspcd out
Il" My-my wallet -
" Yoar wallet p Why, found

A STORMY SCENE.
High Tension in Italian Govern
ment Affairs

ROME, Nov. 23.-When the chamber
of deputies reopened today, Signor
Imbriani, the radical leader, made a
violent speech charging the ministry
with leading Italy upon the road to
ruin, and offered to support any motion
whose object was the impeachment OF
the cabinet. The bank commissions re-
port was read. Briefly the report says the
commission has no documentary evil
dence of political simony in the rela-
tions of the banks with the govern
rsent, but there has been a systematic
disregard of order and regularity in the
action of the government towards
banks since 1880.
The commission expresses strong
disapproval of the concealment of a SUBJ
stantial portion of Baigni's report on the
Banca Romano and animadverts upon
the fact that certain papers were seized
and withheld from the magistrates who
were deputed to conduct the inquiry
into the criminal aspects of the bank
scandal. The reading of the report pro-
duced deep impression. The presi-
dent refused to permit any discussion
and declared the sitting closed amid
Kisses, protests and general uproar.

1T WAS HAYES DAY.
The Anti-Administratio knights
on Top,


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. %. - At
a meeting of the general assembly
Knights Of Labor today the election of
officers was continued. There were two
candidates for general worthy foreman,
Michael J. Bishop of Massachusetts, re-
cognized as the candidate of the Hayes
faction and the present incumbent of
the Office, and Hugh Cavanaugh of Gin
cinnati. The election stood: Bishop,
25; Cavanaugh, 81. The Hayes forces
again carried their candidates to victory
when the election of general secretary
and treasurer was ordered, the vote
standing: Hayes, 25; Martin, 81.
One of the anti-administratio dele
gates said: eff the election of General
Master Workman had have gone over
until today Powderly would have shared
Cavanaugh's fate.
cit is Powderly's methods we are
fighting more than the man himself and
he now has fair warning to mend his
ways or get out. He has been dictator
and assumed to run things to suit him
self long enough"
"The result of the election is not q
compromise, them" ''No, indeed, it is
a straight out fight for supremacy; that
is all there is about it."

EXCLUSION REGULATIONS.
The Amendatory Act Rather
More Rigid.
Chinaman Who is a Merchant
Must be Merchant and
Nothing Else.
By the Associated Press.

by IH0 ASSUCldIcu IfSSs.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The new regu-
lations for the issuance of certificates of
residence to Chinese under the amend
story act recently approved by congress
were submitted to Secretary Carlisle by
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Mil
Ter. According to its provisions China
men must swear that they never have
committed felony in the Uuited States
and the fact must be tes titled to by
white witnesses. A photograph of the
applicant must be attached to the aM-
davit and two other likenesses must be
transmitted to the collector of internal
revenue and the treasury department.
Collectors of internal revenue and
depdties are instructed that all classes
of skilled and unskilled manual labor
ers. including Chinese employed in
mining, fishing, huckstering, laundry
ing and peddl1ng shall be classed as
laborers. A Chinaman buying and
selling merchandise at a fixed place of
business, which business is conducted
in his name, and who. during the time
he claims to be engaged as merchant,
does not engage in the performance of
any manual labor except such az is
necessary in the conduct of his busi-
ness, shall be classed as merchant.
The paragraph in the old regulations
exempting persons from the operation
of the law who are owners or part
owners of mercantile establishment
is stricken out.

Time FaVors Hawaii,

W. N. Armstrong of the Hawaiian lie.
cation, said: "The friends of the pro-
visional government feel that any delay
that brings the time nearer when the
provisional government shall receive
news of the reception accorded by the
public to Secretary Gresham's letter
gives added assurance that the plan to
restore the ex-queen will be frustrated.
For this reason the news of the past
week in Honolulu will be looked for
with special interest. The earliest date
at which news can reach the outside
world by ordinary channels is Decem-
Der 7, when the steamer Warimoor will
arrive at Auckland, whence the news
will be cabled. News may be received
via Vancouver, December 9. 1t is
largely day of speculation at the capi-
tol regarding the situation in
Hawaii. 1t seems the report which
came by the way of New Zealand that
Cleveland had determined to restore
the queen, WAS surprise to the admin
istration. The manner in which Willis
has been performing his mission only
adds more mystery to the situation.
There has been a theory that it has
been the policy OF Willis to allow the
tension to become 30 great that the sup
porters Of the queen would organize to
establish her government and before
the clash between the queens support
ers and the forces of the provisional
government, but upon demonstrations
being made, the marines from the Phil
Arizona republican., 1893-11-24

adelphia would be landed for the pur-
pose of protecting American life and
property and when the queen had &C.
cumulated sufficient strength to war
rant it, Willis would recognize her.
Theories and speculstions we're in
dulged in all the more because up to
5 30 this afternoon it was denied at the
state. department that Willis had made
any Communication 10 the department
by the Alameda.
1t is believed, however. that some Of
heial information was received the
nature of which it is not possible to OBJ
tain. Dispatches today seem to indi-
cate to the administration what was
heretofore asserted, that the privisional
government still stands because it feels
it is backed by the moral support of the
United States and thus far its acts have
been approved by this government. At
the same time it is evident that the
armed resistance to the royalists which
the provisional government is making
gives the officials of the administration
no little concern.
