When CIaggett Was Here.

Judge ClaggetU made very favorable
impreSsionon the Senate when he addressed
the o 1y inhis own behalf. Therote which
followed was strongly against ClaGgett
and he returned TO Idaho. 1t is said ii was
his disapI ointment at that time, coupled
with sense OF ill-treatment at the hands
OF his Senatorial political associates, that
led him into the Popuist party
The whirligig OF time never broughtabout
stranger political change than that which
made these bitter Republican rivals of
80 the leading Republican Senatorial
contestants of 1897.
Aio.her feature of the contest is that
the one shoup Republican in the legislature
is the parliamentary leader of theSPopu-
lists and undoubtedly stands ready to elect
Claegett when his vote will do it. This
is reminder OF the bitter fight between
SEoup and Sweet two years ago, in which
Dui o.s backed sweet for all he was worth.
If Judge Claggett is elected, it Will not
| be his first term i'll Congress. He WIS
elected in the fall of 1870 delegate
from the Territory OF Montana on the Re
publican ticket. He was then a young
man of thirty two years, but had already
had an extensive and interesting expert
ence.

1t was stated at the Senate yesterday
that the fact that the silver Republicans In
Idaho are now voting for Democrats is
not to be taken as indicative that Dubois
defeat is certain They believe that the
friends of Dubois have taken this course
TO get in closer touch with the Democrats
and ais to change the fight from one for
against Dui ois to one for and against
Claggett. IL is ki.own that Dubois can re-
ceiye the full Republican vote any time he
asks il.
But at present Claggett the Populist
candidate, has only three Votes short OF
a ma tority OF the whole legislature. This
is very danger ous lead, and one thatseems
TO promise success unless the legislature
proVesto be dcadlockcd. Claggetthas made
a strong campaign. He has defeated all
wouid-be rivals for the Populist nominal
ton and is holding the entire Populist Vote
well in hand.
Claggett is wcll-remembered in Wash
ington for his contest against Dubois at the
time the latter was first elected 10 the
Senate in the spring of 1891. Both Dubois
and ClafscJt Were at that time Republicans
and each claimed 10 have been chosen by
legitimate legislature.

He Is a Maryland Man.

Hewas a native of Upper Marlboro, Nd,
but had early gone to the Western country
as a surveyor. He settled first in Nevada.
While there he was member OF the last
Territorial and the first State legislature.
In that capacity IL was his pleasure end
privilege to vote to help elect the then
rudGy-w his kered young William NJ. Stewart
to his first term in the United States
Senate.
Both Claggett and his candidate for
Senator We're then Republicans, but if
Mr.. Claggett come on to Washington this
winter he will find his old friend still
doing business at the old stand, as Senator
from Nevada. and the most radical anti
Republican in the Senate.
Judge Claggett served i'll the House in
the Forty-second Congress. Among his
Terr itorial colleagues was Richard C.
Mccormick, then delegate from Arizona,
and row Representative from Long
Island district.

With Hale in the House.

In the same House he served with
Messrs. Hale, Hawley, and Hoar, all now
in the Senate. In 1872 he ran for re-
election as delegate from Montana. but
was beaten 10y Martin Maginnis, who then
began his ten years service a Demo-
cratic delegate from the Territory. Years
afterward, when Montana became State,
Maginnis had an experience much like
that of Claggett in Idaho. He WAS elected
Senator and came on to Washington, only
to harvest Disappointment.
Judge Claggett is now fifty-eight years
of age. He is a man of striking personal
appearance. he has gray hair, nous
tache and goatee, and would attract at
tention anywhere. he is said to be one
OF the best speakers in the mountain

Congress Did Not Act.

The fact is,' Mr.. Bryan concludes,
and the Commissioners now are, and since
April ! 1892, have been. free to permit
electrical wires to be placed under ground.
and il is also O fact, easily demonstrable
by proof, chat the public interests require
the exercise OF that authority"
The application by the company was for
a permit to lay condults on q street, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets;
thence to the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue, and to Seventeenth street, and to
Twentieth street, by prescribed route.
Branches were also to be laid on Fifteen
and-a-haIf street, from Pennsylvania ave-
nue. TO a pole erected in square 221; from
Pennsylvania avenue and Sixteen -and-:i-
half street 10 and into the War Department
building, and from street TO various deS-
ignated points, the object being 10 replace
the old solid system OF grounded wire
! cables with the new conduitsystem, metallic
circuit service being at present denied to
that section of the city.
1t was also the desire of the company to
lay q two-way conduit from point Cn
Fifteenth street, TO AMI across Florida
avenue, with branches from Fifteenth street,
between Sampson and Q streets; between

street and Florida avenue and Fifteenth

Why Null and Void?

In tile absence or such Endorsement the
recommendation would become null and
void
Mr. Bryan, in his response, quotes the
District appropriation act, dated March 3,
1891, unGer the sub head, Telegraph and
Telephone Service part Of which pro-
yides, IN substance, that until action by
Congress upon the report Of the board
appointed to consider the loca ton, ae
rangement and operation of electric wires,
pursuant to the act OF August 6, 1890,
the Commissioners shall hot permit adj
ditional construction Of more than five,
tAles OF conduits for either telephone or
electric lighting service.
In addition, Mr.. Bryan says, Congress
fas by vario is ac5s recognized and leealized

The language quoted from the act of
March 3, 1891, Mr.. Bryan contends, is

Other Conduits Desired.

Other conduitS to be laid We're: On G
street, fIom the corner of Twelfth street;
to Ninth, to u street, TO Seventh and b
streets, and thence on B street 10 Sixth
street, with a branch leading into the new
PoStoffiee building, into square $50, To
a cable POLE to be erected in the court of
Center Market; TO an alley in square 461 a,
and 10 Il point in square b.
Heavy pole lines, Mr.. Bryan says, arc
used il that section at present, and these
viii be partially abandoned should the per-
nit be granted.
1t is also requested that permission be
given to lay 4 two-way conduit from Ninth
and f streets southwest, and by given
route TO the mouth of an alley On + street,
between Third and Four-and-a-half streets.
with branches to squares 495 and $50,
respectively, and also to lay two-way
conduit from the same point of beginning
souGh on Ninth street to Ninth and Water
streets, with a branch to d cable pole to
be erected st the corner of Ninth and Water
streets.
The f street and Ninth street oOnduits,
he explains, are both extensions of the
present onduit system, and both are neces-
sary to replace or tighten heavy pole lines
and tG more conveniently supply subscribers
in that section of the city. The extensions,
Mr. Bryan insists, are absolutely necessary
to the service.

yesterday made his reply to the order OF
the Commissioners to cite the provisions
of law which would justify a compliance
with his request for permit to extend
the company's underground conduits in

Tie Commissioners still decline TO grant
the desired permission. They informed
Mr. Bryan by letter that after a careful
study of the authority quoted, they are
of opinion that it confers no power upon
them to authorize the desired extensions
1t is part OF the record in the contro
