MILLIONAIREs IN THE SENATE.
Most Rich Men in the Senate Began
at the Bottom Of the Ladder.

THE United States Senate is fire.
quently called the Millionaires' Club,
| because so many Of its members belong
| to that favored class whose fortunes
are denoted by six figures" said a
| Senator and a millionaire recently,
''and this gives a wrong impression of
the character of that body. To be
sure, many of the Senators are mill
| lionaires, and there are some who,
while not so fortunate as to be listed
as millionaires, are very rich men, but
1 am not stating 1t broadly when
say the majority of the wealthy men
in the Senate have only themselves to
thank for their riches. Many of them
| began life as poor boys, and worked
and struggled their way to prominence
and success, and the same enterprise
that made them wealthy makes them
| successful politicians. 1t is not al
ways to his money that a man owes his
seat in the upper house, and a mans
| self-earned wealth should entitle him
to the respect rather than the sneers
of his contemporaries.
! This is quite true The majority of
the Senators began life in humble cir
cumstances, and one of the most in
teresting of these self-made men is
| Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, sue
! cesSOr to the late Senator VOORHEES,.
| Senator Fairbanks is of Yankee ori-
| gin, and those characteristics common
| to the descendants of the Puritans have
been useful to him in his career. His
father was born in Vermont, but went
west as far as Ohio when he was a
/ N Il
a wagon maker by trade and worked
at first for 311a cents a day, but his
application, perseverance and faithful
ness won him the regard and esteem
of his employer, who finally took him
into partnership and gave him his
! daughter in marriage
| But Mr.. Fairbanks, Sr., never became
rich man. The present Senator was
| born in a log cabin, and by working
at carpentering on Saturdays and dur
ing the vacations helped to pay his
way through the Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity, of which college he is an alum
nus. After leaving college Senator
Fairbanks first real work was the AS
sociated Press, and he maintained him
self doing newspaper work while he
was studying law and until he was ad-
mitted to the bar. He attributes his
success IN life to steady application to
one purpose, that of becoming a sue
cessful lawyer. From this purpose he
never swerved until he was made Sen
ator. Political preferment did not
tempt him, and his present office is the
first political place he has held.
But Senator Fairbanks is not the only
one among his colleagues who has won
his way to honor and distinction from
modest beginning. Senator Foraker
being one of eleven children, had, per-
haps, even a harder struggle with pow
erty, and to this discipline which he re-
ce1ved in the army, which he entered at
sixteen, serving until the close of the
war, when he retired with the rank of
First Lieutenant and Brevet Captain
his success in life Is largely due-New

The Iron Mountain SmeIter.

Eds. Record Union" The article in
your yesterdays issue regarding the
Iron Mountain mine in Shasta County
I would like to correct in some re-
spects.
First-It affords fully two-thirds of
the business vitality of Shasta Coun-
ty. Take that away, and but little
would be left of that county 1t keeps
the hotels of Redding filled to overflow
ing nearly all the time, and of course
stimulates all other branches of busi-
ness. The company employs at least
800 men, about half of whom are at the
mine, and the remainder on the rail-
road and at the roasters and smelters.
1t is true that the fumes from the
roasters and smelters does affect some
of the employees to disastrous degree
others are not. The fumes are con-
sidered sure cure for catarrh, go those
with this offensive disease had better
go there. The children in the neigh
borhood are as healthy as anywhere,
though daily inhaling the fumes of
sulphur and arsenic. When not too

NE -oo iHHabledHtS OF the town Sls-

all of the same opinion. The pines for

BEHRING SEA SEAL QUESTION.
ENGLAND ACCEPTS THIS GOV
ERNMENTS PROPOSITION.
VIII Take Part in an International
Conference to be Held at Wash
ington This Fall.

LONDON, July 30.-The British For
eign Office notified ambassador Hay
this morning that Great Britain ac-
cepted the proposition of the United
States for an International conference
on the question of pelagic sealing in
Bering Sea, to be held at Washington
the coming autumn.
FOSTER CORDIALLY RECEIVED.
LONDON, July 30-John w. Foster,
the United States special commissioner
on the sealing question, will sail for
New York by the St. Louis from South
ampton. In the course of an interview
with the correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press to-day, Mr.. Foster said:
Wherever 1 FAve been, at ST. Peters,
burg, Berlin, Paris or here in London,
1 have been received in the most cordial
manner. Whatever may be the feeling
against the United States anent the re-
ported antagonism to our Government
displayed by foreign Powers, 1 have
seen nothing of it.
Everywhere 1 have had evidence
that the foreign governments wish 10
meet any question raised by the United
States in the spirit of the utmost frank
ness and open-mindedness. Perhaps
it is needless for me to say that this
Is most gratifying to me officially and
in my private capacity.
THE British Government has agreed
to accept our proposition for a sealing
conference. l am now returning to
make an immediate report to President
Mckinley. 1 have had long and fairly
candid conferences with Mr. Chamber
lain and last Sunday I passed the day
with Sir Richard Webster, the Attor-
ney-General who IS the advisor Of the
British Government on the points Of
law involved. Ny statements met with
the frankest and most impartial con-
sideration.
AS to the Hawaiian question, may
say that in London, Paris, Berlin and
st. Petersburg 1 have had ample op-
portunity to ascertain the prevailing
sentiment IN political and commercial
circles. In all the capitals the annex
alton is generally regarded as the nat
ural, if not the inevitable result of the
large growth and expansion of the
United States on the western coast of
America.
AS it could not be expected contin-
ued Mr.. Foster that any other foreign
Power would be permitted to occupy
the islands owing to their strategic i'm
portance. the proposed annexation must
be acquiesced in by the European Gov
ernments, the position which it would
give the United States in the Pacific
would not be welcomed by nations
seeking supremacy in that quarter of
the world
My personal views on this question
are we'll known in the United States
Nevertheless it is extremely gratifying
that the necessary expansion of the
United States will not be the cause Of
European difficulties and is appreciated
as the logical outcome of American des-
tiny"

The General Passenger Agent of one
OF the Chicago trunk lines received a
letter from a Kansas man the other
day requesting a pass for himself to
Chicago and return. There was moth
ing about the letter to indicate that
the writer had any claim whatsoever
to the courtesy he requested, but the
railway man thought that perhaps the
Kansan had some connection with the
road in some way, possibly as a local
freight agent. SO he wrote back:
Please state explicitly on what ac-

San Francisco, July Goth.
Wheat futures took a long jump this
morning; spot is also higher and firmly
held for the figures quoted; the market is
quite active, both on call and in the sam
pie market. Barley is firm at the quota
ton; receipts are liberal, but it is mostly
sold prior to arrival, and the sample mar
ket is but scantily supplied, particularly
with choice goods. No changes in Corn
and Oats; very few Oats arrived and no
Corn. Rye is scarce and buyers have to
pay full figures.
Beans continue firm, and are active for
export purposes; liberal arrivals to-day.
All fruits are in ample supply, and
changes in prices are few. Good Peaches
and Pears in shipping order move off read
lily. Fresh arrivals of Mexican Lines are
on the market; many are spoiled, as re-
packing shows. Lemons are more plenti-
full and are lower. Bananas and Pineap-
pies arrived yesterday; the former are not
on the market, being too green.
