| To become acquainted with the situation

| sarlly. came to St. Paul. This is
especially true in the present condition
| of the body polite. 1t is about time for
our congressman to be going on to
| Washington, where they will be asked
many questions as to recent events and
| prospective happenings in and out of
| our legislature. They will also be asked
as to the state of the senatorial contest
Pointers on all these matters can be
| obtained IN this city; and that is proba-
bly, why several congressman of the
state are now in the city.
An interesting conference was held
in this city yesterday. in which four of
the seven congressman for this state
are interested. The gentlemen are
Hon. j. A. Tawney. Hon. Joel Heat
wole, Hon. j. L. McCleary and our own
Col. Kieier. They were all in the city
yesterday, and all will soon be at the
national lawmaking center. Hon. ON.
Hall was also in the city. but. being a
Democrat and not being reelected. had
no part i'll the conference. "The four
gentlemen mentioned have come to a
partial understanding on general mat
ters,' said gentleman who is a close
observer. ''They will all stick to-
gether on the question of legiSla-
tiOn affecting national matters. They
all received mutual congratulations on
the size of their respective MAORI les.
While they may act together on party
measures, it is certain that they will
| have recommendations. in severalty, to
make concerning individual friends
who may want some reward for service.

make of state officers elect. and will
act as individuals in that respect.
There are hundreds of places to be
| filled, with, possibly, hundreds of ap-
plicants for each place. Each OF the
| congressman has friends, and will now
have chance to show their popularity
| and influence in direction aside from
| piling up majorItieS at the polls"
Hon. y A. TaWney
| came from his home to the city yester-
day. He expects TO 60 to Washington
the last of next week, provided the
health of his family permits. He said
| that one of his children came home
from school day or two ago with the
mumps, and lie has two more children
who are liable to attacks. This may de-
lay his going East. He will not take
his family TO Washington this winter,
as he is not certain that congress will
be in continuous session for great
while. He claims that, having quad
rupled his majority of two years ago.
gives him the right to boast more than
any other congresSman-e elect.
MIR HeatVVOIe i'm the City.
Hon. Joel Heatwole was only in the
city for few hours. He cOntemplateS
visit to the East for short time. Mr..
HeatWole is we'll known all over the
state, and he was given an ovation by
out-of-town and city residents yester-
day. There is, probably, no man in the
state who has more personal friends and
admirers than has the Third district
congressman. 'His election under the
existing circumstances is but the be-
ginning of bright career" said we'll
posted Republican yesterday.

is a great student of finance and is
fine conyersationalist. His arguments
are cumulative and convincing; he
speaks in a low. musical voice, and his
c0untenance is pleasant and beams with
an intelligent conception of the subject

Working for Washburn.
The work In the interest or Senator
Washburn is not all confined to bis
headquarters in the Windsor. 1t is
true that his lieutenants are keeping
guard i'll this city and looking after the
third house, as we'll as any members of
the legislature who come to the city,
There are number OF his workers
from various parts of the state on the
ground who have been summoned here
to help the cause along. In addition to
that, Eugene q. Hay, who owed his ap-
pointment as United States district at
torney to Mr.. WaShburn, is writing let
ters 10 members out in the state in his
patrons interests. Other beneficiaries
of Mr.. Wash6urn are doing the same or
are skirmishing about tile state in his
interests. There is an effort being
made by some prominent men to
swing the recollection to Mr.. WASH
burn. There are also talks of attempt
ed deals by which it is hoped to bring
new men of influence to his support.
1t is said that several prominent men
have been promised influence in the
next state convention, provided they
now help the senator. This may be
dangerous TO the senator IL it gets out
before the time for choosing a senator
arrives. With all the working and
promises there is no doubt that the
Washburn camp IS in nervous con-
dition. 1t Is feared that some one will
betray the schemes being laid, and, for
this reason, the work is going ON eau
tiously. A gentleman whe worked hard
for MIR. Washburn six years ago was
heard to say to a friend yesterday III a
