CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.

A friend OF Mr.. Franklin MacVeagh, OF
Chicago, who has just received the
Democratic nomination for Senator to
succeed to the seat now held by Senator
Cullom, says 1t is no whim OF Mr.. MacVeagh.
He remembers a casual talk with the rich
Chicagoan at the Union League Club in that
city some four years ago, when MaeVeagh.
seated about circle of friends, expressed the
desire to retire from active commercial life in
the near future.
.'what would you do then," was asked by
one of the circle.
If l could have my way" was Mr.. Mac
yeagh's reply" / should like to go to the
United States Senate. :"
Formal messages were received by the Sem
ate and House yesterday that the services In
memory of President Carnot would be held in
st. Matthew'S Catholic church on Sunday
next. Regarding official attendance on the
part of the representatives OF our government,
1t appears that there are no precedents re-
quiring the Speakers and members OF the two
branches to attend, although they may do so.
The Senate. on motion of Mr.. Hoar. decided
to be present The last occasion of the sort
was the memorial service for the late King OF
Spain, and this was held al the same church.
The services and music will be very elaborate
on this occasion.
Probably no law book has been called into
requisition by as many Senators at the Capitol
at one time as the l16th volume OF the United
States Reports. which contains the interesting
and celebrated case of Boyd VS.. The United
States In brief the case decides that the
fourth amendment to the Constitution was
violated by an attempt to search premises for
papers. etc. and Senators Hill. Hoar. Teller
and a number OF others wanted 1t the other
day when the income-tax debate came up on
paragraph S. which gives the right to
internal revenue collectors to search premises
at any time they desire. All the copies OF
116 United States Reports were called for and
go thoroughly thumbed that the volumes now
open themselves at the famous case.
Senator Walsh, of Georgia, formally an
nounced himself Yesterday as a candidate for
the full term from his state, which begins
next March. Georgians are very unwilling
to talk about the Senatorship because Speaker
Crisp has not yet decided whether he will be
a candidate for the place. 1t is felt that Mr..
Walsh has something of a mortgage on the
seat from the fact that in his short incum-
bency he has won good deal OF strength in
Georgia and people are disposed to return
him.
Representative Johnson. of the Sixth In
diana district. comes from a famous section
that is known as the old burned district, be-
cause the Wings burned their hats there when
Harrison was elected President in 1910. The
seat has been held by some famous men in days
gone by. among them George W. Julien. the
tel. , tatn vb,t tos q
tional character during and Immediately after
the war. Judge Jere Wilson, of this city. who
with Calderon Carlisle acted as counsel for
Miss Pollard in her suit against Col. Breckin-
ridge, succeeded Mr.. Julien, and after two
terms in Congress settled in Washington TO
resume The practice of law. Judge Holman
then defeated the Republicans i'll this district,
before representing his present constituency.
the Fourth Indiana. The district now is one
OF the few Republican strongholds in the
Hoosier State.
Congressman English, of New Jersey, cele-
brated his seventy-fifth birthday yesterday by
attending TO work and smoking the very best
cigars. He has been lawyer journalist. poet,
and doctor OF medicine during very busy life.
He received numerous congratulations from
his colleagues in the House.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois. is one OF the
most methodical workers in the Senate. After
reaching the Capitol, he repairs at once to the
cloakroom. where he can be on hand and at
the same time dictate to his stcnograpner.
Two hours spent in this way is nothing un-
usual for the Illinois Senator.
On another occasion a stalwart Tammany
man was making a typical Bowery speech
against Bryce, seizing upon all arguments,
good. bad. and Indifferent, that he thought
would have any influence on the ignorant
crowd. 1t happened that in one of the
saloons there was lithographic picture OF
the opposition candidate OF the wall. The
keen Iammany orator saw his opportunity.
He made up his mind TO make the most OF
Bryces kid glove contact with the people OF
his district, so he alnded to the fact that
the opposition candidate was willing 10 have
his face appear there, while Bryce. a hall
breed Engishman. did not dare show his
face" The crowd caught on. The dur-rty
baste'' howled one. and then the crowd
yelled to its hearts content. Bryce did not
come back to Congress.
An amusing error occurred in printing n
paragraph III the tariff bill. resulting in the
separation Of the word andron into and iron
in one CT the passed over paragraphs. Sena-
tor Jones called attention to the error late
yesterday afternoon and offered an amend
ment to correct Ii.
The efficacy of the new system OF rules was
put to a satisfactory test in the House yester-
pay afternoon. when Lafe Pence was en-.
deavoring to block the unseating of Mr. Law
son. of Georgia. The same old diatory
tactics OF mo quorum and roll-call were
being put into operation by the Populist
leader. when the Committee on Rules brough;
in a rule to move the previous question, and
the matter was settled in jilfy. The Repub-
licans were very much tickled. and the Demo-
Gratis seemed as much pleased with the new
device as children with a new, toy.
Senator Harris. during the debate on Sem
ator Peffers $50 immigrant tax amendment
yesterday, almost literally carried out his
threat of Thursday, 'to lay Senator Hohr on
the table, The two had gotten into their
daily squabble and Mr. Hoar after moving
to lay the bill on the table. was being criti-
cised by the Tennessee Senator, who tried in
turn to move to lay Mr.. Hoar's motion on the
table.
The Massachusetts Senator resented the
"domineering" attitude OF the Senator from
tennessee. he said something about bis be-
ing "disorderly," and then good hnmoredly
suggested that Mr.. Harris motion was not in
order at the same time Withdrawing his own
motion. This gave Mr.. Harris unquestioned
right Of way.
II am not sure but the Senator is right
said Mr.. Harris. HE is sometimes right
sometimes, but rarely. now move" said
he. in laundering tones, ito lay the Senator
from Kansas on the table," hearty laugh
greeted this lgpsus linpup of Mr. Harris hut
no attention was paid to it by the Vice Presi-
