scribed as "the drama of Europe in

tives of England, Russia, italy md

toward the European powers is also
discussed, and the editor comments
briefly on Americas relations with Spain,
our interest in the Cuban revolution,
and the present status of the Venezuelan

editorial treatment Tin the department

the Review presents a remarkably COM

His opinion OF Mr.. rowne.

]. L. Washburn, who has recently re-
turned from an eastern trip, says the
Duluth Herald. during which he visited
Washington, expresses himself as being
profoundly impressed with the promi-
nent position Congressman Towne has
already taken in the councils OF the ma
ton.
MIR. Towne is one of the leading fig
ures of the house." said Mr.. Washburn,
land do not believe there is man in
congress today who, at the same period
in his career as a legislator, has achieved
the eminence attained by our young
member. His word weighs in the DELHI
Grafton Of the popular house, and he is
coming to be recognized as leader in
his committees. IEr. Hooker, the CHAIR
man OF the rivers and harbors commit
tee, told me that he considered Mr..
Towne one of TIE most valuable mem
bers OF that committee. The impression
created by Mr.. Towne's speech on silver
has not been lessened with time, and he
receives an average of sixty letters
day asking him for copies of the address.
notwithstanding the applause, amount
ing to an ovation, that he has received,
he continues to apply himself strictly to
business and works hard, apparently
unaffected by his success
Mr.. Washburn SAYS that Mr.. Towne
is talked of everywhere in the east, and
that even his political opponents are un-
stinted in their expressions of the high
opinion IN which they hold him. Mrs.
Towne is making an envia5le position
for herself in the social circles of the
capital and is already great favorite
Mr.. Washburn says there-is plenty OF
money in the east and that there is no
evidences OF hard times there, but the
people will not allow their money to
come west to any great extent.
