Here are some Of Sam

He lectured there recently:

There Is nothing in this

trouble about it is. l don't

A figure equally as picturesque
Oh the Republican side of t h e
chamber is that of Romulus u.
Linney, of North Carolina. He is
an old time countrylawyer fresh
from the mountains, and he car
ries the breezes of the mountains
with him. He looks like a Virgin
ian of the time of Patrick Henry.
With roman features. ruddy face
and long. curling, iron gray locks,
he personifies intellectual ability
and physical vigor. Aroused IN
debate he reminds you of Judge
Baldwin's delineations ofold fash
ioned lawyers in the "Flush
Times i n Alabama" Quaint,
incisive, dlscursive, apt, antique,
unique, and persistently origi-
nal, he tears the llouse up by
the roots whenever he addresses
| it. 1t resembles a circus in a
town of the railroad.
Warming with his argument,
the mountaiLeer Congressman is
bathed in prespiration. H i +

bands melt. In his gesticulations
he swabs his face with his pocket
handkerchief, adding emphasis to
his argument bv tie very swab-
bing. His words well to his Ii ,,s
seemingly unbidden and are ut
tered with rapidity and precis-

his speeches, but soft tropical

them. Anon the atmosphere is

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Democrats and populists
are not behind the rspubli-
!. cans in joining in the general
sympathy extended to Mr..
Mckinley because of t h e
great sorrow which has come
upon through the dying az
Onies of his mother. Forthe
time, the strong opposition
ia the recommendations Of
his ANIMAL message is held in
obeyance. and the criticism
to which to which the mes
sage is open is unspoken. In
the presence OF the angel cf
Death, as it were, any dis
play of craftsmanship would
be unseenlinly.
The opening of the session
OF Congress Was, owing to
the circumstances, quieter
than usual, although the
crowds were there as usual.
There were numerous empty
seats in both House and Sen.
ate. although the attendance
was, on the whole, about up
to the average Of opening
days.
Senator Daniel was warm
ly congratulated by his col
leagues on his unanimous re-
nomination by the democrat
ic caucns of the Virginia leg
islature.
Recause it happens that all
Of the outspoken opponents
of Instrumentation of Hawaii
in the Senate are democrat ts
it haA been stated that par
ty lines are to lie strictly
drown in the discussion of
the treaty, and that a demo-
cratic caucus is likely to be
held for the purpose of decl; r
ing against. annexation.
There is no disposition on
the part of those democratic
Senators who opposing the
ratification of the treaty, to
make it Il party question, al,
though they will do all they
can to defeat the treaty. This
ought to be apparent to all
when Senator Morgan, Of
Ala, a democrat of the. rock
ribbed kind, is one OF the fore
most advocates OF the ratifi.
cation Of the treaty. While
the advocates of annexation
are just as confident as ever
that it will be accomplished, ,
not n few OF them express
doubts OF the ratification of
the treaty, and believe that
it will have tn be done by
JOINT action Uf Congress.
