United States Senator William
Mason, of Illinois, the genial and ro-
tund Chicagoan who scattered to the
four winds many of the pet conven-
tionalities of that greatest club in
America" last winter, was in st. Paul
yesterday on his way home after a
months outing. He has been for the
past thirty days at Lake Miltona, near
Alexandria, the home Of United States
Senator Nelson in Douglas county.
With Senator Mason were Mrs. Mason
and their seven children, Col and Mrs.
John c. Ames, and Congressman and
Mrs. Walter Reeves, all of Streatof
III. The jolly senator who electrified
the brethren from all over the country
for their painful deliberation in affairs
of the nation, has put in his vacation
fishing at this popular resort.
The party came in on the Great
Northern train, which was quite late,
and took five compartments on the
night train for Chicago via the Omaha.
Here Senator Mason was seen and
chatted freely with a reporter for the
G l o b e. Yes, it is true he said,
president Mckinley and have agreed
the position of United States marshal
for the Northern district Of Illinois, and
his appointment will be made public at
very early date
Speaking of the postal savings bank
plan, in which he has interested him.
self, the senator added: II have given
this project considerable thought, and
it is my intention to devote my best
energies to secure the passage of such
bill as that which has been discussed.
The bill will be drawn simply, and l
have every confidence that it will be
possible to secure it's passage. The
details in its preparation will be left
to the postmaster general
Asked regarding the determination of
Senator John NJ. Thurston, of Omaha,
not to serve further after the expiration
of his present term, the Illinois states
man said he regretted very much that
Senator Thurston would not again be
candidate for reelection
His action said Senator Mason,
was quite a surprise to his party in
Nebraska, and surprise and sorrow
to the party at large. He is a very
able man, and his loss will be felt. I
believe he says he can afford to serve
no longer AS the train was pulling
out the sturdy senator added this:
Say for me that the Republican
party has fulfilled it's every promise
save the single one bearing on the
tration takes some decisive action in
this matter, the party will be guilty
of breach of a part of it's platform
