Special Washington Letter.
A peculiar complication has arisen
in the District Courts of the District of
Columbia owing to the failure Of the
Senate Committee on judiciary, to take
action on the nomination OF Henry E-
Davis, for District Attorney. The law
provides that the term of office of the
District Attorney expires by limitation
at the end of four years and success
sor Is not provided for, until q new
appointment is made and confirmed by
the Senate. In the present instance
the term of Office expired February 9th.
Meanwhile the criminal docket of the
District Is piling up and cases are be-
ing postponed pending the action by
the Senate. There nave been no cases
tried since the 9Th, and as there Is con-
siderable opposition to Mr. Davis there
seems little prospect of an immediate
settlement. A Joint resolution has
been reported and passed by the Senate
authorizing the Supreme Court to fill
any vacancy in the Office of District At
torney of the District of Columbia. Be-
fore this resolution can become effec-
tive, however, 1t must be passed by the
House and signed by the President
Meanwhile the wheels of Justice re-
main motionless.
The Administration party in the Sen
ate is still shrinking. In the vote TAX
en- on the question of passing, over the
Presidents veto, the ill creating new
court district in Texas, there was jus
one negative vote, which was cast b!

The bureau OF statistics at Washington
city gives the following comparative
statement of exports and imports of the
United States for the months of January,
1896 and 1897; The amount of domes-
tic merchandise exported during the
last month amounted to $93, ,505, ,l03,
as compared with $S5,543,2O for Jan
uary last year. The imports Of merchan-
disc during January last amounted to
So 1927 ,0S1, Of which $27 ,296,7O3 were
free of duty. During January, 1896, the
total imports of merchandise aggregated
$68, ,647 800, a loss for the last month of
over sl7, 100000. This shows balance
of trade largely in favor of this country.

for Interstate Commerce Commission
er. Mr.. Knapp was originally appoint
ed on the recommendation of Mr.. Bel
den and he is naturally concerned by
the action of ex-senator Hiscock and
others, who have wired Senator Gull
lom, chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Committee, to defeat the nomi-
nation if possible.
1t has been suggested by Stuyvesant
Fish, President of the Illinois Central
Railroad, that the Government fore
close on the Union and Central Pacific
Railroads at the same time and make
them public highways over which all
connecting roads, will have equal
rights. The Sioux City and Union Pa
cific branch of the Chicago and North
Western had been built on the faith
of the Pacific Railroad act that it would
be branch of the Union Pacific, but
was cut off from business with that
company. He favored Government
ownership, on the ground that 1t would
give all connecting roads equal rights,
as was intended by the original act.
If the Government, however, looked
only to making the most money out of
its Pacific road interests, 1t should ac-
cept the first good offer. Mr.. Bond
was of the opinion that an organiza-
tion of rail roads could be perfected
to purchase the Union Pacific. Mr.. II.
]. Morrison, of New York, representing
bond and stockholders in the Union
and Central Pacific, advocated a reor-
ganization under which the stockhold-
ers would lie taken care of.

went into executive session and agreed
to report favorably the Harrison bill

How Lover Worked.

Samuel Lovers daughter, Mrs. Fan.
ny Schmid, writes her recollections of
"The Author Of Rory O'More' " for
The Century. Mrs. Schmid says: His
industry was such that in the busiest
years of his life he did not even grant
himself time to look at the daily papers,
or to read any new book that was much
talked Of. His wife always read the pa
pers and the new books for him, giving
him in conversation q resume of the
news of the day and the contents of the
books, SO that he was always well in
formed of everything that was going on
If anything exceedingly important was
on hand in the political world, or If any
part of book was particularly interest
ing or we'll written, these she would
read to him while he was painting.
Many artists are as dumb as fishes al
their easels, but he could converse
charmingly while he was painting,
which was particularly pleasant quail.
ity for his sitters. In painting or in
writing he worked indefatigably, anG
seemed to be independent Of the
"moods" to which many artists appear
to be victims. AS to his songs, he uset
to say himself that he never wrote {
song in his life except when he couldn'
help it.
The songs used to "come to him, ;
generally words and melody simulta
neously, so that he had only to writ
them down. Freqps.tly the idea Of
song would come when he was occupies
with something quite different, as, fo
instance, while painting. He woul,
then leave his easel, write down tn
idea and return to his work. Afterwar

COMPANIES AND CORPORATIONS.


In its "progress of the world" the
Review of Reviews gives much attention
to the money methods to elect Mckinley.
The question is asked, whence came "the
enormous and unprecedented sums of
money spent by the Republican man
ayers to elect their candidateT' and 1t
answers its own question in this way:
"Contributions from the office.holding
and office seeking classes do not now
constitute the mainstay of campaign
committees. Nor do the gifts of private
individuals who are deeply attached to
the principles of their party, or who
aspire above all things to promote their
country's welfare, account for the bulk
of the campaign funds. The great sound
money campaign of 1896 wasi carried on
by money contributed by corporations
money voted by the directors, out of the
funds held by them in trust for the
stockholders. Nobody, probably, would
even care to deny that this is literally
the truth"
Under the general head Of Corpora.
tions" the "Review of Reviews" specifies
"the great loan and trust companies, in
surance companies, banking corpora,
tions, railroad companies, industrial
trusts, gas companies and moneyed
associations of various sorts" as the
combinations that "put up the stuff for
Mark Hanna's Doodle campaign" II
gives the reasons that induced the
corporations to divert trust funds oi
political purposes and says:
"The only thing we deem important l.
that the public should know ihe facts
These corporations WELD SO vast power
that it is not consistent with public
safety that their methods should bt
secret. If, indeed, it was their duty tC
contribute great surns to the campaign
fund, there ought to be no secrecy abou
it. Every stockholder should know
where every penny of the money went
and in our opinion the general public
also, should have right to know
Whatever other means, at some time II
the future, it may be desirable to devils
| for the better regulation of corporations
entire publicity of all their proceeding
should be demanded, and should b
enforced. And let it be said that this !
an opinion held by many of the wises
and most experienced business men {
the country who are themselves direC
tors in great corporations"
This is very mild as to the most SIT
pendous evil and danger of our time'
But it is healthy sign that such hig
authorities as the "Review of Reviews
are taking note of it, even in its mil
and water fashion.
