SENATOR BITLER'S STATUS.
He is Crushed, hut Not So Thoroughly y
Crushed as He Might BE.

Some of Senator Buffers friends have ar
rived from North Carolina. They assert
that the senator has lost .nons OF his pres
tlge by his defeat in that state. They say
tEat the defeat would be crushing but for
the powerful influences which Senator But
Ter is alleged to have had to combat. They
further say that the senator has succeeded
in wedding out unobjectiorable populists of
the party in his state, and that he is now
the undisputed head of the majority of the
populsts of his state. Representative Skin
is the leader of the minority factiCn, II
is admitted, but it is charged that the pop
uilsts whole will repudate him.
Considerable surprise rs expressed at a
rev story that Senator Butler is try
ing to secure the defeat CT Senator Dubois.
During the last campaign Senator Butler
was a warm supporter of Senator Dubois
sending many telegrams to populist leaders
of Idaho requesting that they use their in
fluence Iii behalf OF men for the legislature
favorable to Dubois. 1t is we'll known that
to the a.d of Senator Dubois than Chairman
Jones of the national democratic party or
any of the Idaho senator's other silver
friends. Senator Butler was criticised at
that time for his action, but refused to he
swayed from what he considered his duty
a silver man. 1t is claimed by friends OF
Senator Dubois today. that Senator But
ler's relations with the Idaho man are ex-
ceedingly friendly, and that Senator Butler
has no idea of trying to defeat him.

THE DISTRICT MARSHALSHIP
Occupants Of the Office Usually Serve Full
Terms
McH Who Have Held the Once I'm the
Past nnd the Years They
Served.

The annoinceTe MT sent over the wire
froE, Ohio that Republican State Chairman
Hahn has been slated for the marshalship
of the District urder the new admnistra-
ton. has revived local interest in the prob
able degree of force that will be given ny
President Mckinley to the home-rule plank
in the republican platform
1t is pointed out in connection with the
marshalship that Mr.. Hahn might have
some embarrassment in case the general
rule is followed of permitting the marshal
to complete the term of four years for
which he is appointed. Marshal Wilson,
the present incumbent. was appointed to
the office January y. 1894. President Cleve-
land having permitted the previous incum-
to which he was appointed by President
Harrison.
MI Wilson was confirmed January IL.
and his term will not expire until January
IL. 1855 and the office will not become
available for Use az patronage until that
date unless the custom is broken.
IL is Interesting IL. this connection to scan
the list of marshais in the District and
the length of their terms.
The officials who have served i'm this ca
pacity are AS follows: Daniel c. Brent.

CHARITIES INVESTIGAT
Plan of Procedure by the Joint Con-
EressiOnal Committee.

EreastOnal Committee.
Senator Faulkner and Representative
Pitney, a subcommittee of the Joint select
committee to investigate the charitable in
stitutions of the District of Columbia. held
a meeting this afternoon to formulate a
plan under which this investigation will be
conducted. The Joint select committee will
at first take up all documentary evidence
in its possession, and after considering
such matter will call witnesses from the
various institutions which it is proposed 10
investigate
1t is quite we'll understood by members
OF this committee that the work of inyes-
tgating the charities of the District of Co
iumbia, in accordance with provision in
the District appropriation bill of last wear
cannot he completed in time to have re-
pert before the appropriation committee of
either the House or the Senate to guide
tnem In carrying out the declared purpose
of Congress to appropriate in the future
Tor no charitable or other institutions nm
DER sectarian control.

ware the end of the last session of Con-
giess 1t was given authority to sit during
the rec ess, ana IT was contemplated thar
the Investigation 1t would make would con-
sumo number of months. Almost imme-
dlate.y after 1.-The members of this Joint
select committee had been named. Senator
Harris, who was appointed chairman of the
same. indicated tnat he did not wish to
serve on the coiAHlttee, but the committee
was so slow IN suggesting any one in his
place that it. was not until a couple of
weeks ago that Senator Martin was an
pointed to till5 his place. Since then. as
stated In The Star. the committee has been
organized by the election of Mr. McMilIan
as its chairman. The work of investigating
the charities. however is to be pursued
steadily. with view to securing report
on these institutions which may be placed
before the - appropriation committees OF
both houses, of Congress to guide them in
making appropriations for charitable in
stitutions for the fiscal year ending 1899.
