The senator looks to be strong and
vigorous, but he has done a great deal
Of work during the extra session of
congress His correspondence has been
tremendous, and he has had to deal with
scores of off1ceseeking constituents. Be-
sides, since he was made a member Of
the committee on finance he has been
kept busy by day and by night working
with the other Republican members of
the committee in the formation OF vari-
GUS schedules and in making the tariff
bill homogeneous whole, based upon
principles OF protection.
II shall probably return to Detroit
soon after adjournment" says Senator
Mcmillan. Il have many business in
terests which will command my person
al attention. Although the congress has
practically been in session continuously
ever since last December, / have en-
joyed good health, but will be glad to
get away from Washington before the
super-heated season begins"
Duty on Lumber.
All Of the Michigan congressman are
here and ready to vote on the tariff bill.
1t Is generally believed that the con-
gress will adjourn not later than the
18th Of the month. The question Of 81
or 81 lumber Will come up when the tar
III bill goes into conference, and all Of
the Michigan statesmen expect to have
something to say upon the subject.
Among the recent visitors from Mich
igan were George w. Johnson, r. H.
Brown and wife, and Miss Mary Brown,
and Judge c. J. Riley Of Detroit; Judge
M. c. Burch and S. Frost Of Grand Rap
Ids; A. c. Cook of Iron Mountain, and
Mr.. Leet Of ithaca. Mr.. Leet is a cam
didate for consulate and his applica-
ton is properly endorsed and filed at the
department of state.
A. +. Dinsmore of Michigan was chief
Of the draughting division in the gen.
eral land office during the Harrison ad-
ministration, but was removed during
the Cleveland administration. Having
been soldier he is eligible to reinstate-
ment, and his application was filed three
months ago, but nothing came Of II. Mr..
Dinsmore recently investigated the mat
ter to ascertain the cause Of the delay,
and he found out that the Democrat who
had been appointed to succeed him now
claims to be Republican, and has the
backing Of Senator Tom Plat. Con-
gressman Shower took up the case and
has demonstrated to the department that
the man is a red-hot Democrat. Mr..
Shower has secured picture of Dem
ocratic club, and this mans picture
Is included. Proofs of the fact that the
man is a Democrat have been laid be-
fore Senator Plat, but he still seems to
be inclined to sustain his Democratic
congressman oUONeT mas III
formed the "easy boss that unless he
gets out Of the way and let's the Union
soldier into the department his conduct
will be laid before every Grand Army
post in the state Of New York.

the new postoffice will be established.

Hudson, and Wheatland for their mail.
Numerous petitions have recently been
received by the Michigan senators from
the manufacturing chemists Of Michi-
gan protesting against a bill requiring
all poisons to be put up in triangular
bottles. The bill, If passed, would apply
only to the District of Columbia, and
would require manufacturing chemists
to have bottles specially prepared for
this trade.
Albert Lawrence, the Detroit news
boy, who lest his place as a page in the
house Of representatives under the new
organization, has been given place in
the war department by General Alger.
Congressman Sam Smith has made
application to the war department for
the discharge Of Private r. w. Dietz of
the Nineteenth infantry, whose wife rs
slowly dying of consumption in Michi-
gan. Secretary Alger will probably or
der the discharge because Of the truth
Of the fact set forth by Congressman
Smith that this soldier Is needed at
his home and the government can dis
pense with his services without feeling
the loss Of one soldier whose place can
be readily filled by recruiting officers"
