TIE President and judge Gresham hav-
irs spent ihe day yesterday at the coun-
ty homo of Ambassador Bayard. near
Nnmiuston. Del. there were no appoint
rerts ready for the Senate to-day. but
t.crc can Dee no question as 10 the fact
ta4t The deliberations Of the officially
crowned heroes al the country dinner
was teuer for the country than the snap
shot determinations Of some Of the three
uinute interviews that happen about the
White House.
The senators this morning took up the
Ar4Fe ANA serious question OF senatorial
llnkeIng trips. From the very time.
years ago, when the ghost OF Zach
llln1ler Was seen by two members OF
tnr Senatorial Burial Committee. there
fs been dimdence about senatorial fu-
'A committees. and as late as even this
year the funeral ~ Senator Kenna was
rt as repiete with sober thought as
r.eht have been expected even from
N4sinians- The Junkcting trips Of sena-
TOYS even under alleged business OF great
n' 'ment was discussed. and the Repub-
b. ans seem entirely disposed 10 SO arrange
ialn-s that any senator now leaving the
capitol itself. unless on purely private
business. shall not only take a street
etr. but stall pay his own fare.
IN the one hand 10 is ludicrous 10 see
fhe unfedged senators Of embryo States
stand and deliberately discuss in the SEN
ATE Of the United States the question OF
railroad fares and clearinghouse re-
csipts. but ON The other. it is more ridicu-
lous % Sc men like Senator John Sher-
man introducing "a resolution 20 deprive
the Democratic majority of a privilege
fni pleasure which for years he and his
associates have enjoyed. and which long.
frequent and sumptuous trips have been
g part Of their eiucau0n-and all al the
Government expense.

The Colonel either did not have much
news % imDart 70 anybody. or else he
desired q retain what he had for the
c.rres9' which Mr. J. Hampton

he dominates. for though ne talked and

- would scarcely seem that there was
anybody in Virginia who had not learned
