There was little abatement of the
pressure of applicants at the White
house and both the president and Sec
rotary Porter begin to show evidences
of the strain they have been under for
the past ten days in receiving the in
Vulnerable callers and hackers of ap-
plicants. The new additions sent in
to the senate today seems to whet the
appetite of the place-seekers, judging
from the manner they were received
by crowds in waiting in the White
house. One of the earliest callers this
morning was Senator Mason, of Hi
no1S, who came to talk over the Chi
cago postmastership. He left satisfied
that the resignation of Postmaster
Hessing would be promptly accepted
and that Charles y; Gordon, notable
force in the Republican party of ILL
ncis, would succeed to the place.
Pennsylvania was well represented
by Gen. Harry Bingham, who is re-
ported to be deeply interested in the
struggle for the fourth assistant post
master generalship. Who his candi-
date is he does not state. Senator
Penrose was with him. Senator Platt,
of New York, slipped quietly through
the waiting crowd and was admitted
quickly into the presidents office but
his sty was short.

Next Grand Jury VIII Take Up the
BOodIinG Investigations

County Attorney Peterson has sent letters
10 the members of the former grand jury
asking such of them as can spare the time
TO call upon him at his office in regard to
the testimony to be given before the next
grand jury in regard to the Drew case.
The county attorney is anxious to have as
many as possible call, for the reason that he
Wants to present the best evidence before
the jury. and those who remember the most
clearly what was testified to will be the ones
used. Mr.. Peterson will also use Judge
Smiths stenographer with his minutes to
show the variations in the evidence and
upon those facts the grand jury will be
asked to indict. Frank VI. Nye Will also be
q witness in the case.
The names of the new grand jury were
drawn yesterday afternoon and handed to the
sheriff for service. Judge Smith laid special
stress upon an order made at the same time
to the effect that the names of the grand
Jurors should be kept secret. He stated in
giving the order that if it was not for the
special matter to come before the present
grand jury he would not be so particular as
about the petit jury which he ordered should
also he kept secret. when the names were
drawn. This makes a new order of things
and it is expected that some of the attorneys
will rebel and insist that hey be allowed to
look at the list
From the orders given by Judge Smith in
regard to the grand jury there is not now the
least doubt but there will be a complete in
vestigatiOn Of municipal affairs at the next
grand jury sitting, in which the police de-
partment will not be passed lightly over.
One Of the first matters, of course, will be the
perjury case against Aid Francis G. Drew.

SENATE IS CRITICAL.
Mr.. DingIey's Bill Not Regarded as
an Ideal Measure

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Re-
publican members of the senate COM
mittee on finance had a meeting after
the adjournment of the senate TODAY
and decided to Immediately take up
the tariff as prepared by the ways and
means committee of the house with
the view of considering it in all it's
details. At the meeting today nothing
was done beyond agreeing that this
course was necessary, and deciding
that further meetings should be held
as soon as the business of the senate
would permit. There was an informal
exchange Of opinion as to the neces-
sity for the proposed meetings, which
was based on the ground that the SEN
ate is Jointly responsible with the house
in preparing a tariff bill, and the Re
publican members feel that they should
make sure that it should be bill which
would afford the necessary revenue for
the conduct Of the business of the gov
and, at the same time, appeal to the
cOuntry's sense Of fairness.
The point was made that there are
700 or 500 items in the bill, each affect
ing important industries on all OF which
the Republican members would find ii
necessary to be prepared to answer
the questions. The opinion was -ex-
pressed at the meeting that the tariff
bill was by no means as perfect a meas
ure as its promoters In the house ap-
pear to think it is, Some OF the sched-
ules were criticised as providing duties
above the demands of the country. II

VICTORIA'S REIGN.
OF All the Long Rulerships Hers Is
the Longest.

the Longest.
Queen Victoria, born in 1919, is by no
means the Oldest of living monarchs or DO
tentates, says the New York Sun. The king
of Denmark Christian TX, Is one year older:
there are three German sovereigns older than
queen Victoria, and Pope Leo XIII. was nine
years old when Queen Victoria was born.
But in respect of the duration Of her reign
Queen Victoria is the oldest living of sover-
e!gns, for she assembled the throne of Great
Britain in 1887, and on June 20 next will COM
plete the sixtieth year Of her reign. The
next Oldest of the soveregns Of the world is
Franz Joseph Of Austria Hungary, who as
cended the throne in Vienna in 184S.
Sixty years reign for one monarch is an
unusual thing even IN England, where revo-
lut!ons have been rare, and where the pres
ent royal family is of great longevity. George
|. reigned u years; George H., SO years;
George Ill, SO years and months; George
w., 10 years; William W., years; Edward
III. reigned so years; Henry VIII, SO years;
Mary, . years, and Elizabeth, A years. In
honor OF the queens sixty years reign many
patriotic Englishmen already preparing
celebrations and festivities designed to show
the increase Of England's influence and her
progress in commerce and the mechanical
arts since 1897.
Great preparations have been made for the
International electrical and engineering ex-
hbdon at Newcastle-On-Tyne. The progress
and development in electrical and other
branches of industry since 1887 win be IL
Illustrated there. Newcastle IS w6iI ,hosen
for this purpose, because not only Is II ID
great center OF manufacturing industry bat
it is representative of many OF those inter-
ests which have grown most notably since
1897 Beginning in April a similar exhi-
bition will be held at BlackpooL This exhi-
bltlon Will be less representative Of the me-
chamcal advance Of England than Of the
growth Of the country In other directions.
Since 1887 the increase in the population Of
England, including Wales has been from
15,O0OC0O to % 100000 The population Of
Scotland in 1887 was 2,7O0 coo, is now 4OO0,-
COO; but Ireland, which had at that time a
COO.
From 1887 to 1897 the population OF Lon
don has increased from 100 900 to 5000
coo. Liverpool has grown from 200 600 to
100000; Manchester, from 300 coo to 4O5,-
OC0, and Newcastle, where the first of the
celebrations is to be held, from $4,000 to
10000. The commerce Of England has In
creased in even greater ratio, and the mate
rial wealth Of England has more than
doubled during the 60 wears But the value
of land particularly agricultural land, out
side of the great Cities is less now than it
was 60 years ago, and the falling off is so
great as to offset even the increase in some
of the large cities.

Reed Decides to Hurry Along the

Reed has definitely decided that. for
the present at least, he will not appoint
any of the regular committees of the
house beyond the three already an
nounced In this way all miscellane-
Gus legislation will be blocked and the
entire attention of the house focused
on the tariff bill. The bills which are
being introduced by the hundreds will
have to wait until the committees to
which they would go under the natural
order of things are appointed 1t is
not even likely that the appropriation
committee will be appointed AS soon
as the tariff bill is sent to the senate
the three appropriation bills as they
were sent to the president, and the de-
ficiency as far as was agreed to in con-
ference, will be put through under spe-
cial orders, which the rules committee
will bring in for that purpose BY
avoiding complications which might
arise if the legislative mill should be
thrown open to an indiscriminate grind
the house leaders believe they can ma
terially expedite financial legislation in
the senate by rendering delay in the
upper branch of congress on tariff all
the more conspicuous by the inaction
of the house.
