PRINCE LOBANOF.
The Russian Press Eloquent Over His
Great Qualities.

The Russian Press Eloquent Over His
Great Qualities.
The Russian press is eloquent over
the great qualities and splendid diplo-
matte triumphs of the deceased minis
ter and statesman, says a correspond
ent of the London Times. The Novoe
Vremya says: "The deceased belonged
to the school of Boyar diplomatists,
who have become so rare since the time
of the Empress Catherine, and who
possess strength of will and a many
sided European education, as we'll as
knowledge of their own country and
the strong support of hereditary con-
nections. Such men have not been
afraid of what other nations said of
us and have believed in Russia's mis-
sion and right to play great part
among the other powers of Europe.
Prince Lobanof belonged to that small
class of Russians who know what they
want and how to attain it. During his
short tenure of Office he isolated Japan,
attracted Germany to cooperate with
Russia and France, protected the in
tegrity of China, effected reconcilia-
ton with Bulgaria, secured full free
dom of action to Russia in regard to
Turkey, and strengthened the friend
ship with France" The same journal
foresees the appearance of much I'M
founded comment in the foreign press
on the possible consequences of Prince
Lobanofs death and strongly urges its
readers against the superstition that
any change whatever in Russia's for
eign policy will result from this great
and unfortunate loss Much is also said
about the literary labors Of the late
and it is curious to note that,
although he appears to have accom-
plished so much in diplomacy in so
short a period, he. scarcely ever gave
more than two or three hours a day to
official business, the rest of his time
being almost exclusively devoted to his
favorite study of historical research.

lake and rail rate of ten cents per
100 pounds on wheat from Chicago
and Milwaukee to Boston and New
points. These rates go in,
to effect at once and will continue in
force until January Is, 1898. This
means reduction of five cents per
100 pounds in the lake and rail rates
from Chicago to the Atlantic sea-
board and is intended to divert
grain traffic from Gulf of Mexico
ports. The rate from Wellington to

over matter; brains over brute force
There was a quorum in the house
to day. Manifrstly it had come to
witness the riot between Reed and
his Populist assailanl, Simpson
Reed had baked; would not obey
the house law, refused to name the
house committees; was playing the
tyrant, and Simpson was after him.
Therefore, as the news went circling,
1t enlisted the interest of members,
and OF others as well, and as upcome
thereof, when at noon the house
convened. the galleries and the
floors were full. They had come to
bear witness to the row.
Simpsons mo quroum" point did
not succeed. There was, when Reed
counted, a rotund quorum. Then
there came desultory, albeit at
times bitter, debate, in which a score
took part.
Reed did not enter into the spirit
of the thing; he didn't like it; mani
testify he was afraid of Simpson.
The other day when Simpson assail.
ed him Reed talked back from "the
chair" This time Reed was eau
tiously mum. Reed had appointed
Dingley to this day bear the buck
Ter before him and be his shield
against assault. Reed, as it were,
fed Dingley to Simpson, just as the
Russian peasant, pursued by wolf,
throws the ravening creature a child
and makes his escape while the wolf
dimes. Reed threw Dingley to Simp-
son, worse luck for DingIey. The
latter should have known too much
to get the worst of it. like Ding
ley; he is good little man, and he
doesn't drink rum. But Dingley has
no more natural fitness for a fight
than a COW has for cavalry. He
should have kept out of this row.
AS it was, he got batted severely.
Simpson began the discussion.
he was prlmed for trouble, and his
very spectacles shone and burned
with the hot lust Of war. He related
again the despotism Of Reed, again
recounted his refusual to name COM
mittees and do his duty as speaker;
read again rule 10 that drove home
the nail of his contention and clinch-
ed it, and again called on the house
to take measures toward its own re-
enfranchisement.

and hnge:-thesc Republicans. The
big Gar had told them, through
Dingley, that they weren't expected
to grow talkative to-day.
So the Republicans kept quiet; all
save Walker and Cannon. OF
course, they talked; they would die
else-lhese two old gentlemen.
One might as well invoke silence
from two bluejays as expect Walker
and Cannon to be at verbal peace.
At the close nothing was decided
beyond the fact that Simpson will
hereafter prevent all legislative
action until Reed yields to law and
right and frames tie house COM
mitteeS.
After the discussion the house had
some exhibition Of what refusal of
unanimous consent might mean.
Boutelle, OF Main, jumped up. He
had a letter from Long, of the
cabinet. Boutelle desired that the
letter be read. Boutelle is of vain
glorious bent and in the lustre of
his reading of the letter of Long,
Boutelle expected to spread his tail
feathers and strut a Bit. 1t would
strike terror to the new members
and they would see at once that
Boutelle was great public engine.
BoUTELLE COULDN'T "sHINE."
But Hopkins objected" Hop
kins dosen't fear Boutelle. Hopkins
knows that Boutelle is merely a
fashion of a marine creature,
one of the dark, unfathomed,
caved-of-ocean sort, and what
though he has a terrible roar,
Boutelle is not otherwise formidable.
Boutelle'S voice is great-indeed,
1t has been suggested that Boutelle's
voice ought to be utilized in the
coast defences Of this country-but
Boutelle is not great.

ways to the sift, the race to the
strong, no riches to the man of uu-
derStanding. And we preferred
Jerry.
In the earliest phase of the com
bat Jerry led with his left. 1t was
"no quorum" swing, but Jerry failed
to guage his distance, and the Oak
of Portland easily avoided the blow
by counting lSl present. Both smil
ed confidently, and after hddling a
bit and reading the house J,urnal,
the Populist again cut out the pace
as the agressor. AT this crisis Ding.
ley, the Portland Oaks bottle hold
er, interfered, and those who stood
nearest declare that he fouled the
Kansas sunhower by disconcerting
him with the shout of "regular or
der"
While the Portland Oak had his
seconds, Simpson tine SunAower was
heeling and handling himself. AT
the dark interference, however, of
Dingley, the ringsiders burst into
threats, and some even attempted to
60 to DingleY, who at sight OF this
retreated.
The battle staggered on. Posi-
bly, this great sporting event had
proceeded about ten minutes when
the Portland Oak, who was suffering
from a severe case of bellows to-
mend, clinches the Sunhower. But
the PopuliSt champion was all there.
He was as strong as when the fes-
tivities began, while his ferocity had
been much in cited by the struggle.
1t was horse to hen now that the
Sunhower would win.
THE GLADIAToRS IN A CLINCH.
The Oak clinched; it was a su-
preme moment. The two gladia-
tors swayed back and forth; but at
last the crafty Sunaower acquired
the fatal grapevine lock. They tug.
ged and toiled and strove, and then
the Oak Of Portland came crashing
to the ground. 1t was as if a tower
fell. Simpson the SunAower had
won; Reed the mighty Oak of Cosco
Bay, was beaten. OF course, you

Monday in December to inform him
self as to new members. But with
this extra session beginning March
Is, the speaker lost almost nine
months of this time. He had had
no chance to post himself touching
the qualifications of the new men
coming in.
"That was the speakers reason
as he gave it," continued Simpson.
"Why, he is to-day failing in his
plain duty under rule 10. He had
the usual time to make up his mind,
that was a splendid explanation. "
Here Simpson waxed facetiously
scornful. Doesn't he know that the
speaker is elected anew with each
congress1 Doesn't he know that he
wasn't speaker until the house elec.
ted him last month and wouldn't
have been speaker until the last
Monday in December if no extra
session had been called? How can
the speaker study the new members
when there is no speaker? Does
the gentleman from Maine want us
to understand that he was con-
ceitedly sure in advance that the
present house would call him to the
chair, and that it was case of must;
that it was bound to select him;
that practically he is a continuous
speaker That excuse was the
greatest piece Of egotism ever saw"
concluded Simpson, "the most tre-
mendouS case of political 'soonerism'
which ever came under my eye."
Reed appeared vastly tired, not to
say annoyed, by Simpsons remarks;
the house, however, howled with
glee.
Bailey took digi6ed hand in the
game. Bailey opposed Simpson.
He didn't want any Republican
legislation, and therefore would not
attempt to force Reed to WAYS of
virtue and paths Of house rectitude.
Reed couldn't become too much of
a despCt for Bailey so long as the
country escaped the bale and woe of
Republican law tinkering.
DEMOCRATS NOT WITH BAILEY.
Bailey made a good speech, a
strong speech; but Bailey should
look out. Not ten Democrats agreed
or Sympathized with his views. De
Almond, McRae and others who
were voluble afterward, were as rocks
against him for the Simpson conten-
ton. Bailey must be wary. He is
leader, but how long will he lead if
none go his way' The first requisite
of leadership is to be sure you are
followed. And to-day Bailey wasn't
followed.
Debate went backward and for
ward, first among Republicans and
then among the Democrats. 1t

that they were not to mingle in the

President Fairchild on whose
account there is so much grief be-
cause of his forced retirement from
the state agricultural college in
terested himself last fall in getting
railroad passes home for those of
his students who would vote the
gold-bug ticket. Every student who
went home to vote for Bryan paid
his fare, many Of them riding side
by side with the gold-bugs who had
passes furnished through Fairchild.
Of course Fairchild would have
been all right had the election
brought a Republican board of
regents-but it didn't, hence that
tired feeling. The Populist regents
are of course very partisan but still
they left eleven Republicans
in the faculty out Of total of thir.
teen. Fairchild's successor, Prof.
Will, is not a Populist-and it is to be
hoped that he is not a political fool
either.
