This Lack Caused . Seattle Omcer
to Take nm Extra Trip.

Special Dispatch 70 the Post-fnteIligencer.
TACOMA. Dec. 9.-Deputy United
States Marshal Mclaughlin. Of Seattle.
has learned a point regarding handouts
that be viii likely not soon hear the end
Of. Night before last the deputy brought
three prisoners here from Seattle. two
being Chinese for deportation. The Orient
ais had been hanGcufed together. and
Mclaughlin turned them over TO q local
officer In this condition, hurrying back 10
Seattle on the same boat that brought
him here. The Chinese were taken TO
the county jail. where the handouts were
unlocked and the men given the freedom
OF the tzii corridor.
Deputy Mclaughlin never thought about
leaving the men handeufed together until
he reached home, and then Il struck him
that he had the KEY TO the handouts in
his own pocket, and that the men could
not be parted until he himself came back
here and unlocked the metal wristbands.
And this he did. too. taking the first train
yesterday morning He lost no time IN
getting TO the county Jail. called the jaiier
and explained that he had hurried back
to Tacoma to unlock the handouts on
those two Cinnamon: that he was sorry
he had forgotten about IL: hoped IL had
caused no inconvenience, etc.
He was stiil telling how IL happened.
when Jailer Ward interrupted him TO say
the handouts had long since been un-
locked. With a look Of genuine astonish-
ment Mclaughlin asked how they had
managed 10 open the handouts while he
had the key in his possession, and mo-
meut later everybody laughed as the Wis
itng officer was shown that locks on all
ordinary handouts are much alike. and
that key which will open one win ordi-
narily serve TO open hundred pairs. The
county officers thought the story too good
TO keep, and are now wondering how Nc
Laughlin explained his last visit here to
those in his own baIliwick.

Third In the succession of the great
speakers of the national house Is Thorn
as Bracket Reed, who Is again about TO
take his place at the head of the repre-
sentatives. Henry Clay, James q. Blaine
and Mr.. Reed-these three stand out like
mountain peaks in the long line of the
speakers of the house. Clay and Blaine
We're each men Of famous personal mag
netism. Tales OF the peculiar power they
exerted on men who came within their
aura are go multitudinous that they seem
almost legendary. Certainly a very large
part OF their supremacy among men was
due to this strange force. Both Clay
and Blaine were dreamers. A certain ORR
entail imagination was dominant note
in each. Reed, on the other hand, while
TO many a very attractive personality.
does not rule men by any subtlety OF
personal magnetism. He is notably care
less OF effect in manner. He Is rugged
as a cliff. While he is withal u man Of
big kindness of heart he often Is relent-
less as a serpent in his singing sarcasm.
He reigns by the sheer largeness of his
uncompromising and unanswerable man
hood. All three OF these speakers have
been too pronounced to be president. To
Clay and Blaine the presidency was the
most darling ambition. But both at crit
ical moments lost II, Clay because Of his
high principle in writing the unpopular
Texas letter about which he said, II had
rather be right than be president and
Blaine because OF a certain concert Of
trifiing atoms against him. which aitogeth-
or made an obstacle he could not clear.
To Reed. however. the presidency is no
such magnet. But though the question
of the presidency seems 20 interest him
but little, perhaps for that reason he H.

likely 10 be singled out for II. Amert-
cans are a race who love Il man. and at
times this admiration for sheer man
hood becomes an idolatry with them.
