Summer PIaD~,

Congressman Frank Eddy with his
ftaxen-haired little daughter, arrived in
the city yesterday from Washington,
en- route to his home in Glenwood Mr..
Eddy is the picture of health and says
he is feeling as we'll as he looks. Little
Miss Eddy accepts the honors which
have been thrust upon her in very
modest and unassuming manner, but
nevertheless she thinks her father is a
pretty big man
Mr.. Eddy registered at the Mer-
chants. He says that nearly all of the
members of the house are applying for
leaves of absence, and the hall Of rep
resentatives will be deserted in few
days.
Representative Eddy, In an interview
with reporter for the G | b e, scored
| the newspaper correspondents in wash
| ingtOn who have been sending out re-
ports concerning the split in the Min
nesota delegation and the alleged fail
ure of Minnesota candidates to secure
plums at the hands of President Nc
Kinley. He declares there is no split
whatever.
THE entire delegation is united as
far as their demands are concerned. 1t
is perhaps natural there may be politi-
cal differences in the delegation, but
! assure you the representatives from
Minnesota are working in harmony"
What are the chances for any Min
| nesota men securing national offices ?"
was asked
They are excellent, all reports to the
r
secure at least six important offices.
L am not at liberty to say what they
are. Two of them are important diplo
matte positions. While the appoint
ments may not be made Immediately.
L have reason to believe they are prac-
t1cally decided upon
of course, the all-important subject
now before congress is the tariff bill.
The senate committee on finance will
very likely report the bill to that BODY
next week with a few amendments.
TWO or three of which are of impor-
lance to Minnesota industries.
Il expect duty Of from to 2 cents
per pound will be put upon hides.
which will assist the Minnesota hide
merchants The lumber schedule will
also help out the manufacturers of this
state. rather expect the senate will
make a strong fight upon the retroac-
tive clause of the bill as adopted bv
me mouse providing for the enactment
Of the bill commencing April /"
. what are the chances for Iegisla-
ton on Cuba ?"
am inclined to believe that If the
matter was put to a vote in the house
today the Cubdns would be voted the
rights of belligerents. 1 expect that
when the committee on foreign re1a-
lions is appointed, that body will mako
report recognizing the island fighters
as beiligerents. There is some onnosi-
ton to the question in both the housa
ana the senate, for the reason that sell
hsh motives are back of the opponents
who are influenced by the fear that for
elgn trade will be damaged. Such con-
SIderatlons should not be discussed
speaking of Speaker Reed, the con-
gresham said he looked upon Reed as
the greatest presiding officer in the
world He undoubtedly has moro
power than any previous sneaker bos
had, but it is the house which oi1,ac
MN the power after ALL All the housa
mas 10 90 to rob him of the power is
" duopt different rules any time 1t
sees ut. Reeds powers are perhaps
autocratic, but Reed does not in NV
estimation, take undue advantage Of
them"
