CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.


Economist Holman is as much of a believer
in strict censorship OF his own personal ex-
penses as he 10 Of the governments.
When he takes his lunch. more than halfthe
time he simply goes over to the Senate restau-
rant and gets scent glass OF milk. The
only variation is occasionally 10 cents extra
for a portion of rice pudding, but probably
his expenditure for lunches is less than any
page in the Capitol.
Mr. Heard, chairman OF the District Of
Columbia Committee, said yesterday that the
address of Dr. Bussey on the health conditions
of the city was one OF the most interesting and
profitable he has listened to on any District
matter. He said ne had not realized the
condition OF affairs, and WAS glad to have the
need for better sewerage system impressed
upon Congress.
Senator Proctor, of Vermont, has shaved Off
his beard and now may be likened to two
characters-one the typical Uncle Sam. the
other ex-senator William NJ. Evarts.
The absence OF beard only serves to empha-
size the marks OF shrewdness in the Vermont
millionaires lace. He can make a fortune
out of marble or maple sugar or Washington
real estate with equal ease and for good
control OF his dollars has no equal. Yet he is
not an ungenerOus nGn.
He is warm in Ms friendships. especially
with young and ambitious men. and is one of
the best of story-telicss.
He has the two leading New England traits
"a fondness for pie and for fast pair OF
horses.
Senator Smith received another visit from
his Trenton potters Yesterday and he intro
duced them to Senators Jones and Allison for
a conference.
This time the rotters are here for blood
Most of them want 70 have pottery put on the
free list us Il matter Of reiuhation 10 their
employers. whom they claim reduced their
wages 70 per cent. an, haze announced that
they will reduce them % rer cent. more when
the present duty goes into effect. Some others
want tho duty lett where it is. and others
want the manufacturers to be compelled to
pay good wages or get no protection.
Senator Smith says the nen can now earn
only Sc IA week.
Senator Hill entertained bevy of news
paper men yesterday with a lengthy inter-
view. or course he told them nothing. When
Senator Hill is ready to talk on any matter
there is not much use in listening.
1t 1s interesting to near the different pro-
nunciations of the word schedule in the
Senate. Some make 1t .sked-u," others
''schedgule." and Senator Hoar, probably
because he comes from Massachusetts and is
graduate of Harvard. and is also hot TO be
outdone by DIR. Everett with his pronuncia-
ton OF octopus, makes it ''sked-ool."
Chairman Geisenhainer, OF New Jersey,
and his colleagues on the committee on in
vestigation will go to New York to-day or to-
morrow to make their examination on the ad-
ministration OF the present law and to be in a
position to suggest notifications.
The party have got live hundred of Uncle
Sans precious dollars TO spend. and are 60
ing to do it at the Victoria hotel. They have
a tugboat in the harbor. or perhaps we
should say the steam launch OF the Ellis
island bureau at their disposal, and so ought
to be quite happy.
Hon. Lemuel f. Quigg did not speak in the
House yesterday because he had to go over TO
the Senate to make some suggestions on the
disposition of the wooden schedule.
Up to this hour he has arranged no COM
promise, and has not found any one who will
help him "kill the bill"
