Sex before his name after March 4.
He bolted the St. Louis convention
last June, betrayed his party at the
polls, and then asked the democrats
and populists to elect him to the sen

that such man could not be trusted,
so they turned him down and elected

President Mckinley Opposed to En-
larging the White House.
WANTS ANOTHER STRUCTURE RAISED
Favors an Executive Mansion Near
er the Treasury.
SOME CURRENT OPINIONS

President Mckinley has some fairly we'll
matured ideas of his own on the subject of
a new building as an addition to the White
House. Further than that he hopes to see
something done during his administration.
The President is understood to be op-
posed to the plan of cnlarging the White
House, as outlined :n yesterdays Star. He
does not want to see the White House
touched. He does believe that more room
is needed, but he does not see the neces-
sity of really extensive improvements, cost
ing large SUN of money.
What the President wants to see is a new
treasury building. this to be used as an
executive mansion, the White House to be
left exclusively for the official headQuar-
ters of the chief executives.
Among the many CongresSmen who visit
the White House there Is almost an una
nimity of sentiment that something ought
a new building. The idea is gaining ground
every day, and is frequently discussed ty
the Legislators. Star reporter has talked
with some OF the White House callers.
There is a wide divergence Of views as to
exactly what ought to be done, but no diff
ference that something should be done.
OF course, 1t is not believed that the pres
ent session of Congress will take up the
that when the regular session begins in De-
cember they will bring the subject before
that body in the shape Of a bill.
The President NAV have something to
say In some message to Congress-. Col.
Bingham, superintendent Of public build
ings and grounds, stands really to act on
any request Of Congress.
Senator Thurston said to q Star reporter:
something ought to be done. / have been
impressed with the plan said to have been
drawn for Mrs. Harrison when she was in
the White House. That plan provided for
beautiful quadrangular building" He
was not In favor of any change, however,
which would In any way mar the present
building.
Senator Hawley expressed himself as
favoring a new building between the
White House and State. War and Navy
10 the south The new building would do,
he said, for the executive Offices while the
present building would be the Executive
Marsfon.
Senator Wilson: II want to see improve
ments of some kind, but have not had any
particular plan in view. 1 think an eleva-
tor Is also needed In the White House"
Senator Burrows: Il think the best ola n
would be to build a new Executive Man
sion in the rear of the White House. using
the present building for executive Offices
etc. A beautiful court could be made in
the center"
Senator Hanna said he thought the build
Ing of a new residence for the Presidents
family would be the best plan, leaving Inc
White House as the official nome of tn:
President.
Senator Elkins: II believe in an out and
out new building. I am now considering
some plans which have been spoken Of"
Senator Spooner also favors something
being done. He is well posted on the SUBJ
ject, having investigated 1t when the Ques-
tton was ula.sr consideration some years
ago.

NAPOLEONs VALUE OF VICTORY.
It Finds a Striking Counterpart II
Recent World Trlumphs.

Napoleon knew we'll the value
of a victory. After Austerlitz the
world seemed his. Fame invited,
fortune favored, everything stimu.
lated his aspiring ambition. With
growing power he gathered the
fruits of victory. And so has it
ever been. Success succeeds. A
notable illustration of this truth
is furnished by the great victories
won at the Worlds Fair in '93
and the California Midwinter
Fair in '94 by DR.. Prices Cream
Baking Powder. Ever increasing
sales and popularity have been
the result. The people have
promptly ratified the official YER
diets that declared DIR. Prices, for
leavening power, keeping quail
ties, purity and general excellence
the foremost baking powder in
all the world" Quite as quickly
as the great Emperor do they
know the value of a victory that
means world wide supremacy.
