SHARP LOBBY WORK.
How a Millionaire Was Made the Innocent
Instrument of the Game.

How n Millionaire Was Made the Innocent
Instrument of the Game.
"If you will step out into the office of
the sergeant-at-arms, you will find old
Huntington sitting there with bag Of
money brought here to defeat the funding
bill"
A note reading in about these words
was brought into the senate chamber one
afternoon by doorkeeper and put in the
hand of Senator Thurman. The Old Ro-
man glanced at it. There was no sigma
ture. The senator twisted the paper In
his fingers and sat still few moments.
Then he pulled out his red handkerchief
the bandanna-and blew his nose He
got up and strolled out through the mar
BILE room and into the Office of the ser
geant-at-arms. Sure enough, there sat
Huntington holding handbag, and in
confidential communication with him were
two well known members of the lobby.
Senator Thurman glanced about the room,
asked where French was and strolled back
to the senate chamber. lie went in ON
the Republican side, sat down by Senator
Edmunds' seat and showed the bit of pa
per. When Edmunds had read it, Thur
man whispered to him few words, got
up and crossed over to his own side of the
chamber and took his seat.
Presently Senator Edmunds got up,
went cut into the corridor and walked
into the office of the sergeant-at- arms,
looked around aud then, as IL not finding
some one he was in search of, went back
to the chamber Instead of resuming his
seat, he went over to Senator Conkling and
had few moments talk with him. Then
Conkling went out of the cham her, glanced
into the door of French's Office and came
back. A little later Senator Thurman got
the funding bill before the senate.
Then ensued series of terrific attacks
on the influences which, 1t was asserted,
were arrayed against the measure. Thur
man, Edmunds and Conkling dashed the
unnamed lobby without mercy. The fund
ing bill went through practically without
opposition. Senators who had had honest
doubts about the expediency of the bill
did not venture TO vote against 1t.
The anonymous note to Thurman was
lobby trick. 1t came from man who had
failed to form business relations with
Huntington, and who saw the chance for
which the lobbyist is always waiting-to
get even. Huntington had just reached
the city and had come from the depot to
the capitol to inquire about some leglsla-
tion in which he was interested. There
was nothing moro dangerous than night
shirt and toothbrush in the handbag to
which the senator imagined he chung with
care.
He had dropped into the Office of the
serseant-at-arns, but 1t was a semipublio
waiting room, and he was chatting with
legislative agents while waiting to get his
information. His presence there at the
time had nothing to do with the funding
bill. Yet the, smartest senators in the
whole body fell into the trap set for them.
