VI HE young blood in the Senate is break
ing the record. Traditions are being
thrown to the winds. The session Is
only month old, and yet three of the
newest men have made. their niaiuen
speeches. and made them on subjects OF
great import. Senator, Butler. of North
Carolina, was the first, and made n hit
as ready and hard fighter.
Then Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, tack-
led the finance question. He had been n
Representative and Governor, and was
listened to with attention. -,s--
Last Of the three was Senator Elkins. of
West Virginia. He wanted the sale of
bonds made public. Mfr. Elkins had been
4 Representative and Cabinet officer, and
is well known. de made 4 business mans
speech, and was con graf ulated so heartily
over It that he neglected to vote on his
own resolution. Mr.. Burrows had to at
tract his attention.
None of the West Virginia Representatives
We're present. For this lack of considera-
ton to the new leader they will bitterly
reproach themselves In the future.

VI HE matter in which the remarks

VI HE matter in which the remarks OF a
prominent Senator are listened to is
an interesting Study. II is selGom
that any one is compiimented by full
attendance, but that is what was given
Senator Sherman.
Every one III the city was present, but
not ia his seat. Most seats were filled
by strangers. Members of the House had
comrovcT and there wasa general scattering
around. some OF the Democrats came
over on the Republican side and this forced
Republicans to move over among Democrats.
The o,ier members Of the Senate occupied
their usual seats. Senators Allison and
Hoar were among these. But McssrS.
Lodge Frye, Perkins and Dubois had moved
over among their friends the enemy. They
had dropped into seats Just as they found
them.
Mf. Mills, who had made up his mind 10
answer Mr.. Sherman, had taken a seat
nearly in front Of the speaker. Mr.. Mills
had for company Messrs. German, Pugh
and George VITO sat near him.
Bat Mr.. Sherman's closest listener was
Representative Smith, the young financier
from Michigan. He has a financial measure
of his own and be submitted it to the
great Ohio financier some days ago. Mr.
SHERMAN listened attentivciy, then Mir. Smith
returned tue compliment. They are even
now.
