PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 80.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 80.
The galleries of the Senate chamber
were again filled at the opening of to-
DAYS session, while at the same time
there was rather slim attendance OF
Senators. The latter fact was called TO
the attention of the chair by Mr.. Man
derson, who has been designated as
parliamentary leader on the republican
side. a call of the Senate was then
had. and, II Senators having respond
ed, the journal of yesterday was read.
The Vice President laid before the
Senate the resolution reported from the
committee on privileges and elections,
declaring Lee Mantle (appointei by the
Governor of Montana) entitled TO his
seat in the Senate.
Mr.. Chandler asked unanimous con-
sent to withdraw the resolution offered
by him yesterday, and to substitute for
it one directing the committee on priv
ilcges and elections to investigate a
statement derogatory to Senator
Power, of Montana, contained in the
Washington Post, of yesterday, and to
report whether any, and if so, what ac-
ton should be taken thereon by the
Senate with power TO send for persons
and papers.
Dir. Vest said that he would not OBJ
iect to the resolution. He had eX
pressed his opinion yesterday in re-
gard to investigating newspaper charges
and he reasserted his deliberate opin
ion that if the Senate went into that
matter, it might as well set aside all
other business.
Mr.. Harris remarked that the reso-
luton should so under the rules to the
committee on contingent expenses.
Mr.. Sherman made the point of order
that under the rules as they now stood
(even pending question Of special
privilege like that of the admission Of
Senators) the morning hour was ex-
pressly reserved and that no other
business was i'll order until the
morning business was completed, or
until the hour of one O'Clock. MIR.
Chandler said that he only asked
to offer substitute for the resolution
he had offered yesterday, and then let
the matter go over under the rule.
The matter went over.
Mr.. Teller asked, and obtained, leave
of absense for the remainder of this eX
traordinary session.
Mr.. Mitchell inquired what business
was before the Senate. The Vice
President decided that the resolution
for the admission of Mr.. Mantle as
Senator from the State of Montana, was
before the Senate.
Mr.. Mitchell(a member of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections) adj
dressed the Senate in opposition to
the majority report and in defense of
the minority report. which declares
Mr.. Mantle not entitled to the seat.

Prince Of Detectives,

vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in 1875. He began
life as q baker and early became the ter
TOR of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was a notorious thief. and
after many ~disgraceful adventures he en-
listed in the army. In 1896 he returned
to Paris with some money, which, how
ever, he soon squandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eight years hard
labor for forgery, but repeatedly escaped,
and in 1903 he became connected with
the Paris police as . detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed of reprieved conyicts,
which pnrged Paris of the many danger
Gus classes. In 1918 he received a full
pardon. and his connection with this
service lasted until about 1928. when he
settled at St. Mande as a paper manu-
f%acturer. soon after the revolution of
1880 he became a political detective. but
with little success In 1S4S he was again
employed under the republican govern
pent. but he died penniless in 1857

Early American Sculnf0ra.

A"-As ~
1t is worthy Of special notice that when
Rush began to model in clay not one OF
the artists who have given celebrity to
native sculpture had seen the light
of day. Frazer was not born until 1880.
nor Ezekiel .Augur of New Haven until
1901. The latter was originally in the
grocery trade. but failing in that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural instincts;
but like the majority of early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his eff
forts are interesting only as evidence of
what talent entirely unobstructed can
accomplish.
1t was not until 1905, long after Cop
ley, West, Malbone, Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic.
torial art, that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
saw the light of day. In the remote
wilds of Kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenger.
Crawford and Mills followed in 1879,
1918 and 1915. Thus we see that, with.
ont hereditary genius or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in win.
ming for himself a European renown
which made him the equal Of some OF
the leading foreign arver and sculptors
of his age, and at the same time well
earned the title of father Of American
sculpture. '-Lippincotrs.

The Stage In England.

The Standard says it is not be denies
that the art of acting in England, like
the art OF playwriting, has suffered from
the influence of Mrs. Grundy. If we d
better and greater plays-plays of more
ambition and more daring-we should
probably see an improvement in the
mimetic art. 1t is true that the insula,
potentate whom we have named does not
exercise quite as much authority as she
did. Still she has by no means abdicated
her position, and it is impossible to PR.

ment she will reassert her imperiled
prerogative. The young ladies of the
period have. no doubt. burst a good

dured patiently by their mothers at a

is still a parsonage OF this side of the

slow to be shocked her elders and dueu
mas are shocked for her.
1t is apparently assumed that nothing
is shocking in French, and we have n

THAT LUMBER TRUST.
More About the Maine and Massachusetts,
Syndicate.

BosToN, January 12.-There is appar-
emily excellent authority for saying that
a big lumber combine has been estab-
lished by Maine and Massachusetts, par
ties which will practically control the
entire lumber business in the United
States. Charles Way Holman of Boston,
John Ross and Cornelius Murphy OF
Bangor are reported to be the promot-
ers of the deal, the first named being the
financial element in the concern, the 9TH
ers the extensive lumber dealers and
mill owners in Maine.
The syndicate is said to have secured
10000 acres of lumber land in Maine,
25,OOO acres in F orida, 10000 in Ken
lucky, and over 100000 ia New Mexico.
1t proposes to put up mills in Maine,
Massachusetts, Kentucky, Illinois, and
New Mexico, and to sell direct to build
ers. The syndicate is said to have a
capital of S8O,000,0 600.
By dealing directly with the builders
the trust expects to be able to undersell
lumbersdealers, great and small, and to
fill contracts more eXpeditiously and
more cheaply than can be done by any
body else.
The Maine members of the trust have
lust returned from Kentucky, where
they purchases the land mentioned
above, and they have now gone to Ban
cor. where they will begin at once to
build mills. Neither one Of the three
gentlemen named is disposed to say any
thing about the above outline of their
transactions, but it is believed to be ac-
curate.

WOOL MANUFACTURERS
Protest Against Any Change in the
Tariff.

New YORK, January 12.-The Nation
al Association of Wool Manufacturers
held its 2Sth annual meeting at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel today and discussed the
wool tariff. The discussion was heated
and resulted in series of about ten res
olutions. Mr.. Whitman declined to ac-
cept the position of President. He had
held the position years, and as he was
Republican and protectionist said he
did not want to hold Office under DEM
ocratic administration, fearing his politi-
cal ideas might injure the interests of
the association. The below officers were
elected: President, R. S. Frost; vice
presidents, John L. Houston, Hartford /;
A. C. Miller, Utica; treasurer, Benjamin
Pitts, Boston; secretary, S. N. Morton,
Boston, and an executive committee of
16 members.
The resolutions say that in the main
any change in the present tariff would
ruin the wooden industry and kindred
branches.

LATEST ABOUT BLAINE.
The Reports About His Condition Are
Conflicting.

WASHINGTON, January 12.-This even
ing messengers were hastily despatched
for Drs. Johnston and Hyatt, ex-Secre-
tary Blaine's attending physicians.
Young Mr. Blaine was quickly summon
ed This fact, with evidences of unusu-
al commotion about the family residence
led the newspaper men on picket duty to
believe that Mr.. Blaine had suffered a
serious relapse. Both physici MS prompt
ly went to Mr.. Blaine's bedside. After
20 minutes consultation, DR.. Johnston
left the house. He stated that nothing
positively serious had occurred, and Mr..
Blaine's condition was practically un-
changed from what it had been during
the day. He further said whenever any
symptoms developed that might be con
strued by Mr.. Blaine's attendants as un-
favorable, the physicians would be inn
mediately notified. This did not indi-
cate change for the worse, but merely
phase in his condition not understood
by those at the bedside.
About Z O'Clock, DR.. Hyatt left the
Blaine residence. He said the trouble
was difficulty the invalid experienced
in breathing. The attendants supposed
the labored respiration to be caused by
an attack of heart failure. DR.. Hyatt
said upon examination the heart was
not affected, the only apparent difficulty
being in the respiration. Medicine was
administered, to which the patient
quickly responded, and the unfavorable
symptoms passed away.
Mr.. Blaine is weaker tonight than
since he suffered the relapse two nights
ago. His physicians called at $50 and
remained in the sick room 40 minutes.
They made thorough examination of
the patient and gave him additional
medicine. When he came out DR.. John
son said Mr.. Blaine had not suffered a
plications which yielded to treatment,
but from which the patient had not re-
covered except at loss of strength. He
was sleeping at 1915. DR. Hyatt would
60 back at 12 and then determine if it
was necessary for him to remain through
the night. DIR. Johnston said he would
not return unless DR.. Hyatt, when he
came, thought Dr.. Johnston's presence
necessary.
There is no unusual activity about the
house, but there is an air which indi-
Gates that Mr.. Blaine is worse. The
guarded utterances of the doctors are
more significant from what they failed to
say than from what was actually said.
Something must have occurred to
change the doctors programme; for DR..
Hyatt, instead of waiting until midnight,
returned TO the house within fifteen min
utes and is still there. 1t looks as if one
or both doctors will remain with Mr..
Blaine all night.
The Very Latest.
WASHINGTON, January 13.-Dr. Hyatt
is still in attendance on Mr.. Blaine. At
1.3O a. M, DR.. Johnston had not returned
1t was then stated that Mr.. Blaine was
'sresting quietly" 1t is understood the
do tors had again to resort to the admin
istration of nitro glycerine to stimulate
the hearts action.

) APPROVE THE PURCHASE.
Action of the Boston & Maine Stockhold-

LAWRENCE, Mass, January 12.-The
adjourned meeting of the Boston &
Maine railroad was held here today to
act in relation to the purchases of the
road franchises property of the Newbu-
ryport City Railroad Company, and also
the Orchard Beach Railroad Company.
A vote was taken at the recent annual
meeting, but the total number of votes
cast was less than a majority of the
stock of the road. In the absence of
President Mcleod George W.. Hills of
Lawrence was chosen chairman. The
total vote of both meetings was an
nounced by the committee, 1854 in IA
vor and A against the purchases. The
report was accepted and the purchases
declared approved, and the meeting then
adio11rned
