CHICAGO, November ia petition bear
ing 10000 signatures and asking that the
reading of the Bible be restored to the public
schools, will be presented soon to the board
Of education. The petition has been pre-
pared and circulated by the Woman's Edu-
cational Union of Chicago.
The union held a meeting last evening to
consider the outlook for the movement. Re
ports from the committee having charge OF
the petition were encouraging, and it was
announced that matters were in such shape
the document could be presented to the
board of education in a short time.

subject of reading the Bible in the public

rian. The selections are to be made by q
committee composed of different religious
denominations.

THE TARIFF RESPONSIBLE.
Mr.. Cadmus Thinks That Caused Re-

Mr.. Cadmus Thinks That Caused Re-
publican Victory in New Jersey.
Ex-Congressman Cornelius A. Cadmus of
Paterson, N. j., was in the city on business
before the department, and this morning, in
talking about the republican victory in his
own state, laughingly said: 1T does not
seem as if we had had an election there at
all. 1t was all one way" Then he added:
'The tariff is responsible largely for the re-
suit, because the people Of New Jersey have
not gotten over the effect Of the tariff tinker
ing, and remember how their industries
were threatened by the Wilson BILL Mr..
Cadmus was one of the dozen democratic
Congressman who voted against the Wilson
bill, and he is, therefore, qualified to judge
of its effects.
Speaking about New Jerseys position in
the presidential fight, he said: THE demo-
Gratis in New Jersey are for Whitney as the
democratic nominee, but l have heard very
little talk on the republican side, except that
National Committeeman Hobart, who SO
ably conducted the Griggs campaign, is
being spoken of for Vice President on that
ticket, and, naturally. if New Jersey wants
the tall her delegation will be for a western
man for the head"

THE LATEST CANDIDATE.
Geo. NJ. Russum Suggested for the
Maryland SenatOrship.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
contest over the United States senatorship
than at any time since the election, and
the friends of the different asplrants are
eagerly pressing their favorites' claims on
all influential republicans.
A new candidate Is Mr.. George NJ. Rus
sum Of Caroline county, who came to town
today to confer with his friends In regard
to entering the contest. Mr.. Russum' S
pame has frequently been mentioned in
connection with the senatorship, although
he has made no statement concerning an
ambition to succeed Mr. Gibson, but to Inc
Star correspondent this morning MIR. Rus-
sum said that he had decided to become
candidate, and was prepared to make a
spirited contest.
Mr.. Russum is the most prominent lawyer
on the eastern shore. being associated with
Mr. George F. Massey of Delaware as coun-
sci for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
In matters affecting its lines in the Mary
land and Delaware peninsula. He Will have
the backing of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and, while the eastern shore republicans
will support the aspirants from their par
ticular counties, still they Will undoubtedly
unite Mr.. Russum, should their own
favorites be overthroWn.
Captain William d. Burchanal of Kent
county is in town trying to boom Mr.. Chas.
T. Westcott of Kent. Captain Burchanal is
loud in his denunciations of any movement
to ignore the eastern shore law, and is pre-
pared to fight tooth and nail, the boom of
any aspirant hailing from the west side of
the bay.
Mr. William T. Masters friends are
clamoring for that gentleman's nomination,
and declare that should it be impossible to
bring it about, they will support Westcott or
any candidate other than Congressman
Wellington. The Master men are still
smarting under what they regard as the
shabby treatment accorded their man in the
fight for the republican nomina tions for gov
ernor and mayor of Baltimore, and the
strongest opposition the Wellington boom
is likely to encounter will come from them.

HENRY WATTERSON'S TRIP
Going Abroad to Write Life of Abraham
Lincoln.
VIII View the Career of the Martyred
President From an Ex-Con-
federate's Standpoint.

The popular Interpretation put upon the
projected trip abroad of Henry Watterson
has been that the distinguished editor was
in need of a protracted rest. This turns
out not to be the case. Mr.. Watterson is
going to Europe to write life of Abraham
Lincoln. He will take his family with him,
and seek a retreat IN some quiet place
probably some Swiss town-where he may
work when the At Is on him, and yet be
close enough to Paris to look in on brisker
life when he feels the need of recreation.
He has his material all collected, and only
the writing of the book remains to be done.
1t Is expected that this will consume eig hit
months or more.
The line that Mr.. Watterson will take is
of course, his own secret. The subject has
er gagged many pens, and some have treated
1t at great length. Nicolay and Hay en-
larged their life Of the great President into
a comprehensive history of the whole Lin
COLI ian era. Then came Herndon's work,
with it's homely, but delightful account of
Mr. Lincoln's early life. his early struggles
as lawyer. and bis subsequent triumphs
at the bar. This was followed by Ward
Lannon'S story of Mr.. Lincoln in the White
House. and this by Carl Schurz's review,
which Is now a classic, of Nicolay and
Hays work. Mr.. Watterson's friends, how
ever, are confident that. Notwithstanding &
this array of those who have gone before
him, he will yet find something new and
important 10 say. ana VIII, OF course say 1t
In style all his own, and which in daily
Journalism has proved TO be so spirited and
effective.
Mr.. LincoIn's biographers up to date have
been his personal friends and political sup
porters. Mr.. Watterson will write as an
ex-confederate, and from that point of view
as Illuminated by the great march of
events since Mr.. Lincoln was buried. But
none the less sympathetically, it is said.
He Is passionate admirer Of Mr.. Lincoln's
character and genius. and from his edi-
torial perch at Louisville has enjoyed a
long survey Of the country and a long
study Of the conditions which produced the
most unique man In American history.

MINOR HOUSE OFFICES
The Contest for the Clerkship Likely to Be
Hot One
Capt. Sherwood After the Postmaster
ship-MnRy Candidates for
the ChapInincy.

The candidates for the minor offices in
the organization of the House of Represen-
tatives are getting their friends at work
actively. There are very few members of
the House now in the city, fewer, perhaps,
than are usually found during midsummer.
There being no speakership contest there is
nothing but the small patronage to excite
interest in the organization until Mr.. Reed
has been elected and begun to make up his
committees. Some of the candidates for
the offices are here; others are daily ex-
pected and all of them have their friends
in the field.
The House Clerkship.
General Henderson of Illinois, the western
candidate for clerk of the House. is now at
the Ebbitt House. and Mr.. Mcdowell, the
Pennsylvania candidate for the same place,
is expected to establish headquarters at
Willard's, just over the way, tomorrow or
Monday. The principal contest Is for this
office. which controls more patronage than
is at the disposal of the other officers.
The friends of both candidates are doing
a great deal of talking, so as to have their
booms well going by the time the Represent
tatives begin to appear in considerable
numbers. 1t seems to have been de riIed
in the equation of Pennsylvania politics,
that Mr.. Mcdowell is to have the clerk
ship, and Mr.. Quay is said to be under
the field candidate, and is said to have
the best end of the contest, with many
votes promised him. 1t is claimed by his
friends that he has more than enough
promised to secure his election, but this is
hardly true
Gen. Henderson. who was somewhat late
In announcing his candidacy, has been a
member of the House for about twenty
years, and has held very high rank among
his colleagues.
His long service and great popularity are
apt to go a long way toward overcoming
the advantage his opponent got of him at
the start. There Is much talk OF combina-
tions and under the assumption that Mr..
Reed can fix up the whole organization ii
he desires the report Is started by the goS-
sips that combinations have been made by
which all the patronage Is to serve as far
as it will go to advance Mr. Reeds politi-
cal interests. This talk is, of course, Idle.
There are many candidates for all the Of
fees who have not yet declared themselves
but there are indications of a snort, hot
fight for every place.
The POstmastership.
Capt. Sherwood of Michigan, who was
third Congress, and who has been post
master of this city, is a candidate for the
post office, with fair prospect of success.
David R. Mckee, secretary of the republi-
can congressional committee, wants to be
sergeant-at-arms and some of the old offi-
GERS are trying to get back. New York,
Maryland, Tennessee and Ohio candidates
are expected to contend for the doorkeeper-
ship, and there is Il perfect swarm of
preachers after the chaplaincy. Most OF the
candidates for the various offices are keep
ing in the background until they see what
combinations are being made or can be
made.
