Senator WaShburn presid d. In
opening the demijOhn of oratory, he
congratulated the Republican party on
the record it had made, and feelingly
called attention to its pedigree. Then
branching off and warming up, he trans
formed himself into one of Dante's lost
souls. and bewailed the fate of the
starving millions who, eighteen short
months ago. were living In comfort and
bursting the vaults OF the savings banks
with their vast Accommodations. A feeble
zephyr of applause rewarded the SEN
ator for his lamentations.
Mayor EustiS was the first speaker

A Tight SueeeZe.

A quarter of.an inch more space taken
by the wheel Of broken-down ice
wagon would have stopped street car
traffic on First avenue south at five
minutes before noon yesterday. One
of tine big red boxes of the City Ice
company, heavily laden with ice, had
barely crossed the Third street tracks
in front of the postofice when without
moments warning the left hind wheel
came off the axle. Down dropped
the load with terrific report. The stu
alton looked rather dubious for all in
terurban car that followed behind. The
crowd that had gathered held its breath
as the front steps squeezed by the slant
ing wheel Of the disabled vehicle.
Slowly the rear approached, the con-
ductor pulled up the last step. and with
a grating noise the bolts, sticking out.
slid through. And the car rolled on
safely. q
