LOBBYISTS IN THE SENATE.
Heroic Measures Taken tn Preserve
Order i'm TINT BODY.


For the first time in many days there
was order in the Senate Saturday. 1t was
a relief 10 the senators who had anything
10 say to be able to obtain recognition
from the chair without having TO strain
their voices in order to make themselves
heard. A new order had been promulgated.
On Friday the noise was uproariOus Lieu
tenant Governor Haggard admonished the
lobby to quit talking; senators complained,
some of them read the rule that requires the
doorkeeper to keep order, even at the ex-
pense of refusing Ambulance TO everybody
but those who have right TO be there and
there were some speeches In which the
senators said they would move that the
doorkeeper be instructed TO expel every
one but members of the Senate, the clerks
and newspaper men IA; All OF these com
err ended than the noise was as bad as
ever. This state of affairs induced the
doorkeeper to issue orders Saturday that
no one but members or the Senate ana per-
sons bearing special requests from the SEN
ators should be allowed to enter.
This order had dampening effect on the
lobby. Men who have made themselves
conspicuous by hanging about ready 10 but

were not present. Jerry -on-to-his-Job
Collins was not seen. John II. Cockrum was
another who remained away. one or two,
however insisted on their privilege as ex-
members of the Senate or House of Repre-
sentatives and thereby evaded the vigilance
OF the dOorkeepers.
IL would be willing to bet" said n door
keeper. that five hundred have come
to me and asked 10 be admitted because
they were ex-members of the Legislature

Friday afternoon Senator Alexander said
that some of the senators preferred to sit
in the seats in the rear of the chamber
and be ''smothered" by the female lobby
lists rather than attend to their senatorial
duties. Saturday there motto the
blackboard for bills on special reading hang
ing in a conspicuous place. 1t read: NO

Lieutenant Governor Haggard seems de-
termined that there shall be order for the
remainder of the session. The time has
been reached. he says, when forbearance
ceases to be q virtue.

The four Carthage burglars arrested in
this city and subsequently transferred to

Ex-CommissIoner OF Internal Reve-
nue. John w. Mason. Of Fairmont, dis
gulsed by the loss OF his beard, went
with Governor Atkinson and Senator
Elkins to the white house to-day, where
he was presented to the President as a
candidate for register OF the treasury.
Major Mckinley had 10 inquire his
name, although he knew Mr.. Mason
well in his full-bearded days. The
laugh was on the President. Mr Mason
a few days ago filed an application for
appointment as an assistant secretary
OF the treasury, but has now shifted to
register"
The above has been going the rounds
of the newspapers. Mr.. Mason says
the report OF the interview is strictly
accurate with the exceptions that the
President did not observe the absence
OF his beard: that he did not fail to
recognize him; that they did not get
the laugh on the President; that he
made no application for the position OF
register: that he was not presented u
the President by Senator Elklns or
Governor Atkinson, and did not call on
the President with either OF them at the
time mentioned or any other time.

OF the interview is all rIght-FOirmont

Tho National Association OF ManuIac-
turers Of the United States Of America
publishes a very interesting report OF lis
commission sent TO investigate trade
conditions In Argentina. Uruguay and
Brasil. AS one result of the commits
slon's visit to these fruitful countries, we
find this paragraph;
There are many aids which are need
ed to supplement Individual and personal
effort. The principle OF reciprocity in
trade is powerful factor, and the APP
pllcatlon OF this principle By treaty In
our commercial relations with the ma
lions 20 tho gouth OF Us would help
nightly In opening those markets more
freely to our goods. The reciprocity
TREATIES which were negotiated under the
customs law Of 1880 were pretty general
~ recognized as good policy and praetL-
cal business measures. The sudden and
unwarranted abrogdtion of these treat
les has worked M little injury to our
trade relations with South America and
their restoration and extension would
greatly promote our commercial inter
ests in that part Of the world"
The reciprocity treaties negotiated uR-
der the Mckinley law were producing
good results. We were building up a
considerable new trade with che cOun-
tries with which We entered into these
treaties. Seemingly for no other reason
than that his trade was coming to us on
the line Of Republican policy. the Demo-
Gratis determined that they would have
no more of It. and so they knocked reci-
proclty In the head Al once shrinkage
began. Not only this, but the countries
with which We had had reciprocity treat
les thought they had been trifIed with.
and resented the treatment accordingly.
The Republican party believes in reci-
proclty as a useful complement Of pro-
lection. and the plngley bill returns Ia
It. II the bill passes with the reciproc-
ity provision. as doubtless II win. II will
be the business Of the administration to
enter At once into negotiations for recip-
rocal trade. II We set into reciprocity
treaties with all the Latin-American re-
publics and hold them for decade. We
should find that We had opened up con-
siderable market for our manufactured
products and one that We could hold in
the face OF all European competition.
