Yet beyond his loud voice and violent
oratory, he has done nothing to belle
the words of his biographical sketch.
He is a fierce objector to pension legis-
lation; but generally withdraws his OBJ
jections when mem bers plead with him.
In great fury he deolaims against BIO I'm
ty-Jumpers and coffee eoolers;" but
quite often votes for pension bills. He
has always been farmer with the excep-
ton of service in the Confederaoy in hi s
youth and in politics since the days of
T1llman. He is rather quick-witted, and
has readiness in rough repartee.

The name Of Talbert, of South Caro-
lima, has become quite prominent be-
cause OF his speeches on pension nights
and when pension legislation in before
the House. He is one of the interesting
characters that Tillmauism has brought
to the front in his State. His biography
in the Congressional Directory credits
his home paper with saying of him, that
he has been Jealous as a church mem
her, Sunday school worker, legislator
anu alliance man." He is the mem Der
wbo told about "cussing up'' at some
body. With gray mustache and imreri-
al and fierce face Talbert seems like q
loud voiced professional politician rather
than farmer and Sunday school worker.

Foxcroft, April 25.-The State board
of railroad commissioners have completed
the Investigations regarding the recent
accident on the Canadian Pacific railroad

were killed.
The commissioners found that If those
killed had been inside the cars where
they should have been, no one would have
been killed. This practically exonerates
the railroad company from any blame.

Washington, April 24.-Among
the speakers in the debate on
the pension bill during the week Con-
gresham George B. Mcclellan, of New
York, has been prominent He Is son
and namesake of the famous Union
General. and as such attracts much at
tention. Old soldiers visiting Washing
ton always want to see him. Some see
in him resem blanoe to the "Little
Mac of other days. and others do not.
General Harris M. Plaisted met him at
the opening of Congress, and considered
that he bore strong resem blance to his
father. He is very short, stoutly built
young man; and quite probably resem-
bles his father in physique, if not in
features. He was born in November,
1855, after the war had closed, his par
ents at the time being on a visit in
Dresden, Saxony. Young Mcclellan
WIS educated at Princeton College.
where he graduated in the class of 1885.
Tor this next two or three years he
worked as reporter on New York pa
pers. He. is Democrat, as his father
was before him, and in New York allied
himself with Tammany Hall, in which
organization he holds quite an influential
place. In 1889 he was appoined treasurer
of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge,
holding the position three years. During
that time he studied law at the Column
bia College Law School, and was admit
ted to the bar in 1892, when he resigned
his position as treasurer of the bridge
Previously he had bsen appointed col
onel on the staff of Governor Hill, and in
1892 was elected President of the New
York Board of Aldermen. From that
arena of craftsmanship he graduated to
the present House of Representatives.
Mr.. Mcclellan bears himself in the
House in such way MS to give the i'm
preston that he is useful man of gen.
eral good sense, but not brilliant. He
has said little; and what he has said has
not lowered his reputation. This is
something of compliment for young
Congressman who must have the feeling
that his. name already gives him distinc-
ton. He is a member of the committee
on Invalid Pensions; and most of his acts
in the House have been in connection
with the business of that committee.
Early in the session he seemed inclined
to the belief that most of the special pen
sion bills presented were unworthy, and
he seemed for time fierce objector,
like Erdman, of Pennsylvania, and Talbert
of South Carolina. But to be a perma.
nent objectOr in the House a man must
have q thick skin and mind little sus-
ceptible to pleadings of fellow members.
Young Mcclellan assumed the hail
shirt of the objector with some ostenta-
ton; but pretty soon it was observed
that he had quietly cast it aside. He is
rather o pleasant speaker, stating a case
very plainly and directly; but not show
ing any attempt at orator ical embellish-
ments.

Matt Adams Says He'll Go Back to Dem

London, April 25-Matthew Adams of

his arrival from America about three
weeks ago charged with embezzliDg $40
900 in Denver, was arraigned in the Bow
street police court this morning and the
magistrate ordered his extradition to the
United States. Adams said to the court
his only desire was to return to Colorado,
whittier his wife, who was with him

he did not intend to make any appeal
from the decision of the court, but would
go home and stand trial by his own coun-

Ten Mile BiovoIe Record Broken.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 13.--At the Villa Maynard meet last week of the Jacksonville wheelmen Harry Bikes of Saratoga, N. Y, rode ten miles in compe- tition in 24:5S. On the strength of this performance it was claimed that Bikes had lowered the worlds amateur record for ten miles in competition. This claim was. however, subsequently, denied, telegram being received here that the distance had been made in less than 24:5S. This assertion, however, is not true, for Chairman Gideon of the League of American Wheelmen racing board tele- graphs today that the best time for ten miles prior to Bikes performance was 25:32 Bikes, therefore, holds the worlds S amateur championship for ten miles in competition. Bikes performance was the more noticeable because the racer was not paced for nearly two miles of the diStannP

Sixth District congressman.
 Bessemer, March 13.-(Special)-For several days it had been known here that Capt. J. H. Bankhead would address his fellow citizens at this place tonight on the political issues of the day. Captain Bankhead is very popular here among his old constituents, and when the an nouncement was made that he would speak at this place every one knew he would be greeted by a good audience.
 By S:15 o'clock some 200 voters had gathered in the city hall to hear the speech of the gallant representative of the people of the Sixth district. Colonel Bankhead was introduced to the audience and received with prolonged applause. He began his speech in his usual cool. well poised manner, and before he had really entered upon his argument he had the undivided attention of every man in the house. and this he held during the two hours in which he spoke. He dis cussed exclusively the financial question and did 1t in a manner extremely inter- esting to every one present.

Proof Positive.

coinage was a complete refutation of the speech made here recently by MT. Clarke, yet the speaker never at any time in even the remotest way alluded to either of the candidates for governor. The speech was delightful to the men in the audience of his way of thinking, and the very few present who have been viewing the question from a different standpoint went away with many nuts to crack. The audience at frequent intervals cheer ed the speaker. The speech did good here and it's effects will be felt in the coming primary.
 Bessemer is claimed as a stronghold for Clarke, but this box will on the day of the primary go largely for Johnston.
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham, for the senate, and several other candidates, were pres ent tonight, mixing with the voters of Jefferson. Cunningham is strong here.
