name another man, which he did.
Mr.. Hornblower. II is understood. did
not seek the high office which Mr.. Cleve-
land desired TO bestow upon him. The
compliment came with all the sincerity
OF Grover Cleveland's heart 1t was said
that the action of the Senate was brought
about through the fundamentally of
Senator'S Hill and German.
WOULD NOT TALK POLITICS
When Mr.. Hornbower was seen by a
Dispatch reporter at the Jefferson last
night he was seated upon one of the
large settees of the lobby enjoying an
after-dinner cigar. The New Yorker
greeted the scribe pleasantly. and was
inclined to discuss most any topic except
politics He first expressed his surprise
at the magniicence and beauty of the
Jefferson. There was nothing in the
way of hotel OF that type in the great
city of New York. He said he did not
see why the Jefferson should not catch
a great many New York people who
wanted TO go off on short trips for rest
and recreation. The distance was con-
venient and the attractions great. He
expressed a deep interest In Richmond
would take in some OF the points OF in
terest during his short stay here. He
asked about the Virginia Legislature and
its work, and incidentally referred TO
the great interest in the two all-lmportant
questions before the New York Legisla-
ture-the excise law and the question
OF annexing Brooklyn to New York city
Mr. Hornblower remarked that New York
had voted i'm favor of annexation, while
Brooklyn had declared herself against
II by a slight majority. He regarded the
matter as an exceedingly grave and i'm
portant one, and said 1t was now almost
impossible 10 tell what the result would
be.
Speaking OF Governor O'Ferrall. Mr.
Hornblower expressed a desire to meet
him. and he will probably call on the
Chief Executive before he goes away.

Mr.. Hornblower is an unassumng man.
He Is apparently about &c years OF age, is
only slightly gray, and Is OF medium
stature. wearing slight cropped side
whiskers. He is charming 10 talk TO, and
always says something interesting and
entertaining when he speaks. no matter
what the topic OF conversation may be.
He was much amused at what his little
boys said about Richmond while driving
up TO the hotel from the station last
night They were greatly surprised to
find the city so large. and so expressed
themselves. They had thought that they
we're coming to small city, and in
driving Up TO the Jefferson at once saw
how much mistaken their impressions
had been.

FEDERAL SENATE FINANCIERS.
Further Republican Programme Re-
spcctfng Bond and Tariff Bills.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-The Sem
ate Committee on Finance will hold its
first meeting under the reorganization
tomorrow. Although final action will not
be taken on either the bond or the tariff
measure recently passed by the House,
some members of the committee will urge
speedy action. and II possible an immedi-
ate report.
The best judgment of the situation in
dicates that the bond bill will be dis
cussed in committee. and a substitute
in the shape OF a free-coinage bill re-
ported Nothing short OF this wifi satisfy
the silver men on the committee. and as
they have eight votes 10 five against
silver. any measure they agree upon can
be easily adopted in committee. Mr..
Woicott. OF Colorado, one OF the new
men added TO the committee, has not
been in Washington this winter, owing
10 i'll health, but his absence makes lit
tie difference, the silver men still having
a working majority of two in the COM
mlttee. and a clean majority in the Sen
ate of ten or twelve.
1t is probable that the tariff will be
reported 10 the Senate without amend
ment The Republicans have been max
ing every effort TO get together on this
measure and the silver Republicans, who
will vote for free coinage as a substitute
for the bond proposition. 1t is believed.
can be persuaded TO refrain from putting
such an amendment on the tariff til.
Republican leaders hope to see the
bill pass the Senate as II came from
the House. 1t is believed the President
Will veto 1t, and II Is thought by the Re-
publicans TO be good politics to put the
President where he will be compelled to
veto a measure that is intended to In
crease the governments receipts and pro-
vide adequate revenue.

on this proposition and persuaded -

The name OF the Swiss js generally

In 1877 by Count Philip Of Savoy TO

Charley Hop Sing. the Celestial who

business in the "washee," "washee" line
on Seventh street near the corner OF
Main. is by far the best-off Chinaman
I'm Richmond. He is the only one OF Rich
mond's small Chinese colony who can
boast of a family-that Is. OF family
residing here. Hop Sing, while not much
inclined to discuss his household affairs.
admits that he has wife and child.
although he is very reluctant TO have
either one exposed TO the public view. or
even TO the gaze of any OF his most init
mate friends among the Mclean men"
But Hop Sing Is distinguished even
beyond this. The juvenile Celestial. while

black strands of silken hair into the

only Chinese baby ever born within the
confines of this historic city. Hop Sing,
Jr., was born just about two months
ago. and the occasion was great and
important one in the useful career Of the
Oriental pater familias. But since that
eventful day Hop has become more grave
and serious. He is not seen now to
smile and to make music on his quaint
Chinese banjo-like cOntrlVance. Nor II
he wont any longer TO allow his pig-tail
to straggle playfully down the outline OF
his spinal column, or TO talk shop 10 his
friends among the news-boys and hobos.
He has awakened 10 the responsibilities
which have devolved upon him, and he
is attending strictly to his business and
his domestic obligations.

such AN impression as one would have
