OF IIlisoss' Next senator.

-
OF IIIssots' Next senator.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago kveuing Post in write
up Of the senatorial situation in llli-
nois and the probable and possible
candidates. has this to say of Hon.
Ben r. Cable:
II is taken for granted by most
everybody in public life here that
Ben Cable is still n candidate, al
though he has made no public an
nounccment Of his intentions aud not
much has been heard of his boom of
late. 1t is said by some that he has
concluded not 10 be a candidate this
time. But that is not believed. He
was too much in earnest for the NOM
inatiOn when he was here to warrant
one in believing that he has had time
to cool of. He is probably simply
taking \ rest. lie needs enc. II is
no exaggeratior to say that no man
in congress ever worked harder for
his place-hunting fellow democrats
Of Illinois than Ben Cable. lie is not
\ congressman now, but he has
enough work for three congressman
to do. When here he rises early,
hastily swallows breakfast at tho
Metropolitan club and jumps into a
cab. There is always a cab at hand
where Ben is. He hires it imme-
diately after he arrives in town and
keeps it within hail night and day
till he leaves. Two cabmen have
retired from business since Ben be.
came congressman.
Fills Up the Cab.
lie is likely to want a cab at any
time of the night. He wants il
every hour during the day. He
leaves the club with big bundle OF
applications under each arm. his
pockets stuffed full of them and sew.
cral in his hat. A waiter follows
him with an armful, which he dump.
onto one of the cab seats. Cable
fill: in the other seat. The cab i.
one of those affairs in which tn,
seats FACE each other, and is biz
enough for four persons. OF tn,
cab goes evenly balanced. This ma,
seem an exaggeration. But Mayor
Hopkins will vouch for it's absolut,
accuracy. The last time, but one
that Mayor Hopkins was here-h,
wasn't mayor then and had n,
thought of being-Cable wanted I,
have talk with him. Being yer,
busy, Cable asked Hopkins to rid,
around with him. Hopkins con
scented. When the ride was over
Hopkins had crick in his back
Cable occupied one seat, the appli
cations filled the other, and Hopkin
had to stand. Gable didn't motto
that Hopkins had no seat. He wa
busy porting over the applications
talking the while to Hopkins, bu
never lifting his eyes. The onl,
chance that Hopkins had to sit wa
while Cable was calling on a cabinc
officer pleading with him for plac
for some Illinois democrat. or iilin,
the applications. and later. whe
mos, OF the applications had bee
filed. and there was room on tn
seat. Cable keeps that sort of thin
up all day. and frequently into tn
night. When he leaves town he
tagged out, and the cabman goes /
bed and sleeps for week. All G
which goes to show in what name
Ben Cable is ingratiating himsel
into the good graces of the IllinOi
place-hunting democrats. In add
ton, he has lots of money. And
he will announce his candidacy h
will make very formidable compel
, tor.

explorers, who claim TO have inspected q
mammoth cave on the northeast side OF
Warriors Ridge, about FIVE miles from
here, yesterday, tell a great story of the
distance they travelled underground and
the curOsities they viewed. Descending
into the cave by a rope ladder ninety six
feet long, they entered the main corridor
of the cavern. After proceeding some dis
tance the party found three larger caves,
about $50 feet below the surface of the main
entrance.
To quote their own words: These cav
erns were explored TO the distance of a
mile and all along the route the ceiling was
studded with fine specimens of StalactiteS.
On account of the gasses which existed in
some Of the chambers we were compelled
To retreat. Many antique specimens were
found and bones. supposed to be those OF
mastodons, were exposed to view at sever
al places" Another party will explore
these caverns in the near future.
