MIR. MUDD's AMBITION.
What Is Said of His Aim at Mr.. Cor
mans Seat in the Senate.

What Is Said of His Aim at Mr.. Cor
mans Seat In the Senate.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, May 21.-Local republicans
were considerably surprised this morning
by the disclosure Of Mr.. Sydney E. Mudd's
ambition to succeed Senator German, and
this aspiration of the speakers is the pre-
vailng, topic among politicians today.
While Mr.. Mudds intimate friends have
known for some time of his desire to rep
resent Maryland in the United States Sem
ate, this fact has been carefully concealed
from the rank and file Of the party, for the
speakers immediate goal is a seat in the
next Congress, and his friends have feared
that the knowledge of this higher ambition
might handicap him seriously in his con-
gressional fight.
1t Is said on excellent authority that one
or the reasons which induced the speaker
to come out so strongly for Mr.. Wellington
during the recent senatorial hight was the
promise of the latter's friends that, should
ne aspire to succeed Mr. German. he might
depend on the support of MIR. Wellington.
1t Is understood that this promise was
made without Mr.. Wellington's knowledge,
and whether he will support Mr. Mudd is
questionable; but there is no doubt that the
latter is anxious to go to the Senate. as he
himself has admitted both here and in
Washington.
A prominent republican from Mr.. We'll
lington's county told The Star correspond
ent today that the Senator-eect was in no
wise bound by any promises of support
made by unauthorized persons at Annap-
oils, and said, furthermore. that he doubted
if he Wellington) would feel disposed to
assist Mudd.
Governor Lowndes has been heretofore
the only republican in the state who has
been at all generally considered as a sue
cessor to the senior Senator, in case the re-
pubicans capture the next general assem-
bly,, and in such an event he will probably
come forward as a candidate The gov
ernor, who was in town this morning, when
asked by The Stars correspondent what ne
thought of Mr.. Mudd's ambition, smiled,
but refused to make any comment. But it
is generally believed that in the event Of
his not entering a possible senatorial race
himself, his preference will not lean to-
ward the sneaker

Few women realize the influence exerted

STATISTICS PRESENTED,
Exhaustive Treatment of the Tawney
Bill by One Who FavOrs 1t.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Probably no other measure of local in
terest introduced in the present Congress
has evoked so much criticism, adverse and
favorable, as the bill introduced by Mr.
Tawney for the retirement Of clerks in the
classified government service. This bill H,
r. $780, covers the leading features of a
number Of bills on the same subject intro
duced in both the House and the Senate
Mr. Tawney's bill provides in substance
that in the case Of all executive civil en-
ployes, whether at Washington or else
where. coming under the civil service act.
three per cent Of their monthly salary shall
be retained to provide a retirement fund.
The money thus paid in is to bear interest
at four per cent until July l, 1900, when
the scheme Of retirement is to become oper-
alive. There are four classes of employees
eligible for retirement under the bill. For
those fifty years Of age. with a length Of
service Of twenty years, If disabled, retire
ment is optional; for those aged fifty-five,
with length Of service of twenty-five
years, If disabled. retirement Is compulsory;
for those aged sixty, with q service of thir-
ty years. retirement is optional. and for
those aged seventy, service thirty years,
retirement is compulsory.
The amount paid at retirement Is to be
siXty-five per cent of the average annual
salary, except that in no case is 1t to be
more than $1,000 per annum There are
provisions regarding the refunding of
amounts paid in to employees who leave the
service before becoming eligible to retire
ment, ETC.
No statistics have ever been gathered as
to the age and length of service of en-
ployes in the government service. The near
est information is contained in Senate report
47,Fifty-third Congress, which gives the ages
and length of service of employees in the
executive departments and other govern
ment establishments at the national cap
ital" This document, however, does not
connect the age with the length of service,
and, moreover, compiled in 1893, so
that estimates based on 1t can only be
taken as approximate. 1t shows the fol-
lowing facts respecting the employees at
Washington:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-05-21
Total.

1t will be observed that the age and SER
vice limits given are such as will come
within the provisions of the bill in 1900
There is no connection between these two
statements, nothing to show the age of the
H. who will be eligible for retirement
under the service limit, and vice versa
Therefore, in estimating the cost of retir-
ing those eligible on the first of July, 1900
the total, 1910 Is the only possible basis
for comparison. This 1910 Is the whole
number Of persons who, If they continue
in the service until July l. 1900 will have
been In the service twenty years or more
Although there are no actual figures on
the subject, 1t is probable that the 1910 are
mostly the men of advanced age; and it is
certain that large proportion of them are
veterans Of the late war; the death rate
for whom will be far above the average
1t seems safe to say that not more than
1900 of the 800 persons who in 1893 had
will be in the government service in 1900
and it will be liberal calculation to saw
that half Of these, or 600, will be eligible
for retirement under one or other of the
several limits.
Now let us see how much the monthly
assessment of three per cent will yield
The salaries paid in these departments
amount to s1,311, 6I7 monthly, giving $50
$50. By July 1, 1900, this will amount to a
fund Of over 100000, yielding at four
per cent, $8,667 a month, with which to
pay superannuated employees. This added
to the monthly assessment of $3935O (as-
Stunning the amount of salary to be the
monthly for retiring allowances.
The average salary paid in the service at
Washington is about $50 per month. SEQ
ticn of the bill provides that three per
cent Of the annuity Of those who retire
prior to July l. 1906, shall be retained for

A Phantasy.

One evening in the early summer [
wandered down by the riverside and
watched the ripping waters flow by
on their way to the ga. The sun,
setting back of the hills in the dis
lance, threw a mystic, golden light
o'er the scene. I heard the whip
poorwill's mournful call far off in the
woodlands, the katydid' rasping note,
and the rustic of the leaves upon the
trees. Lying there beneath a weep
ing willow, upon the messy banks Of
the stream, listening to the murmur of
the waters and nature music in the
woodlands, my mind soon wandered off
into the land of dreams.
I thought I stood upon the summit
of a lofty cliff; all around me was a
grayish twilight, and strange forms
fitted through the murky air. / called
to them, but they needed me not and
passed on in increasing throngs. l
tried to move, but some invisible in
Auence seem to hold me there.
Suddenly through the gray atmos-
phere a beautiful silvery light began
to dawn and o'erspread the murky sky.
The fitting forms within the dawning
light danced and played, one with
another, gleefully, and passed beyond
my vision. Then a softer lightglowed
upon the air, and a procession Of fair
beings of gentle mein, robed in flow
ing white, passed into the distance
where those had gone before. Now a
sweet wild melody was borne to my
ears upon the quiet air. A lurid
light 'erspread the sky and fantastic,
awesome shapes trooped by amidst a
ceaseless din. Upon my ears now
sounds the tread of marching feet and
martial music bursts upon the air, and
soldiers, with faces grim and stern,
march by. Now sounds a funeral
dirge, and a CHASTITY, grinning skele-
ton stalks in the wake of the forms
that have passed. Now comes a man
with hoary hairs and countenance
venerable and mild.
"Who art thou?' I cry.
He pauses, turns, and in a solemn
voice responds: II am Time"
"And these shapes that have passed
before?'
care Thoughts" he said.
