irritablllty O. Senator Harris daily mill
tales against the speedy conduct Of busi-
ness.
The present congressional directory does
not give Senai or Harris age, but he began
practicing Law in 1871, and has surely out

The report that Mr.. Haas would sever.
his connection with the railroad is en-
trely without fact. and. although moth

and highly gratifying TO himself. Presi-

officially announce whatever changes
have been decided upon, though 1t is
