more than probable that Col. Swift will
have his ambition gratified.
Representative Foss, Of Illinois, brought
with him Frederick Eondy, OF Chicago,
who would like to be appointed consul
70 Prague OF some other mission of equal
Importance.
Hon. John s. Wise, now of New York,
but who formerly resided in Virginia,
where he took an important part in Re-
publican politics, saw the President for a
few moments. Mr.. Wise would like to be
appointed distlice attorney, for the South
ern district Of New York.
representative Brnnin or Pennsylvania,
presented State Senator Coyle, OF Indiana,
who called to pay his respects. Repre-
sentative Fisher, of New York, was an
other who saw the President on matters
connected with the distribution of patron
age i'll his State.
While all OF the other States n the Union
are claInoring for share ofthe crumbs that
fall from the Presidential table, Texas
is remaining out Of the fight, and up to the
present time hasaskei for no appointments.
This inactivity among the Republicans Of
the Stateis occasioned by bitter fightthat
is beng waged between two opposing fac
tions.
L. H Il. Green, the State chairman, and
DR.. John Grant, the national committeeman,
are quarreiing as to who is entitled to
the distribution OF patronage, and in the
interim all appointments are being held
up. There has always been an intense ri
valry between Green and Grant, and who
will come out victorious is hard to de-
teTmine.
Green is the son OF Hetty Green, OF New
York, who is reputed to be the richest
woman in America He removed TO Texas
several years ago, where he has acquired
vast property interests, being owner of
the Texas Midland Railroad, which runs
through one of the most populous regions
of the Lone Star State.
DR.. Grant, on the other hand, enjoys the
prestige Of being the original Mckinley
man in Texas, and 1t was due entirely to
his influence that the Republican State
convention, which met at Austin last May,
decided to instruct the delegates Of the
State to the national convention for Nc
Kinley.
Dir. Grant is guest at the Raleigh Hotel
in this city, while Green has been making
his headquarters at the Regent. He left
Washington several days ago for New York,
and is not expected to return until Monday
next.
Judge jeremiah Wilson called on the
President today in the interest of his SON
in-law, William Haywood, OF this city,
who wants to be appointed consul TO
Hon oluiu.
Representative Grosvenor and Senator
Bate, OF Tennessee, urged the President
to appoint Gen II, v. Boynton chairman
of the Chattanooga Park Commission.
Secretary Bliss was closeted with the
President for some time talking over
matters connected with his department
1t is understood, however, that no ref
cnce was made to the Chicago Lake Front

VOTE ON TREATY DELAYED
Not Likely 1t Will Be Had in Senate
This Week.
Trouble About Pairs the Principal
Cause-Work of Amending Fast
Destroying Its Significance.

The work of repairing the arbitration
treaty is again going on this aftern
1t has now been amended to point where
it is practically no treaty at all, but only
series of regulations as to how arbi-
trations may be conducted if they are de
sired. Practically the dangerous cara
graphs have been removed from the treaty
Its enemies do not like it any better
since it has been so extensively trimmed
but they no longer fear it's effect If It
is adopted. For the same reasons its nost
ardent friends seem to have lost some
of their enthusiasm for it,
They admire it less as it grows more
reasonable and more American. They
will, however, support it in whatever form
it is finally presented Some of the enc
mics Of the treaty would vote against it.
even if it was amended by striking out
all but the enacting clause In effect it
may yet reach about that situation
The treaty will not reach vote before
next week. This is due to the failure
of Senator Davis, chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee, TO get unanimous
consent for a final vote. He was try
ing it oil the afternoon, but several of
the Senators have urged objections. 1t
will therefore be postponed until next
week and perhaps to the latter end of
the week.
There Is also some difficulty In the ar
rangefnent of pairs; questions OF the kind
demanding two-thirds vote, and pairs
are arranged in the proportion of two in
the affirmative to one in the negative
This involves great deal Of trouble
and delay.
The Senate will meet tomorrow, but
only for the purpose Of hearing speech
by Senator EIkins. There will be no ex-
ccutive session, and adjournment viii be
taken until Monday.

LAWSON COMING FORWARD
The Terrible Swede Has Already
Taken Second Place.
PUT ALBERT BEHIND HIM
His Steady Work Bringing Hin
Closer to Schock-The Leader Off
the Track Several Times on AC-
count of Falls, But Keeping Up
Beautifully-The Latest Score.

After keeping ahead of Teddy Hale's
record for thirty successive hours, Schock,
in the great race now in progress at Con-
vention Hall, got tumble shortly after
3 o clock yesterday afternoon that proved
a serious set back to him. He was not
hurt badly by the fall, and after seven
minutes stop, resumed riding. He dis
mounted again, however, at o clock, and
lost about fifty minutes, and this threw
him behind Hale, and he lost the records
for the -four hours following. In the sixty
eighth hour of the race, the veteran again
passed Haleis mark He kept riding until
the seyenty-siXth hour, when he fell be-
hind Hale two miles.
From l O'Clock this morning until 8
Schock was off the track nearly an hour
and at that time was over nine miles be-
hind Hale's record. Between and 8
O'Clock the old man did some good work
and reduced Hale's lead to five miles.
Albert lost second place last night.
Lawson had been riding strongly all day.
and during rests taken by Albert gained
a good lead on him, much to the delight
of his many admirers.
At 8 O'Clock this morning the score stood
as follows:
The evening times., 1897-04-01

With the exception of Shock taking an
other tumble, the race, so far as accidents
are concerned, ran along very smoothly
from midnight on. The second mishap to
the veteran occurred at Z O'Clock this morn
ing. He lost only minute by it,
At lei 3 this morning Lawson had 1,0S2
miles to his credit, and was behind the rec
ord of Hale, after eighty-two hours work,
106 miles. After the accident of Monday
the Swede rode without much spirit. He
seems TO be getting back his enthusiasm,
however, and rode splendidly yesterday
and last nj sht. and this morning Mr.. Mosher
put new ambition into him by giving him
Hale's record and telling him that the honor
ofbreaking it was within his grasp.
Golden began riding like a fiend this
morning He has not shown so much
ginger during the race. Young Ford return
ed to thetrack last nj ght, but after riding 81
miles retired again. Muller also resumed
riding He added II miles to his score and
disappeared again. Ii is said this young
man is in this race for a little hardening,
nothing more He is interested with his
father and brother in a new bicycle seat,
and, the story goes, will shortly start for
ride to San Francisco in tie interest Of
IndJ ueNlce.
At 10:55 this morning a regular Co
manche warhoop, prolonged and vigorous,
was sent up by every throat in the hall.
Golden at that moment scored his ,000th
mile.
Young Ford resumed riding at IL O'Clock.
He had ~ miles to, his credit. Albert took
a rest Of twenty minutes betw IL and
1 ? O'Clock, and Lawson consequently in
creased his lead on him a few miles more;
but Lawson moment later took rest
and lost part OF his gain.
At IL 43 Schock finished his 1,200th
mile. AT Just this point Load complaint
was sentup by Golden's trainer, who claim
ed that Ford was pacing Cassedy. The tef-
cree warned Ford against such work, and
the young man desisted gracefully.
At 11:5S O'Clock Lawson finished his
/ 1.100th mile These figures had hardly been
put up To the credit OF the Swede when
Schock met with another accident He
came to the turn just in front of the scorers
slowly, intending Co stop for a rest, when
the pedal of his wheel struck the banked
part OF the track and threw him heavily.
lie was picked up by his handlers and
hastily removed TO his dressing-room,
where it was found that besides a skinned
knee he was not hurt, and he laid down
for a rest. At IL o'clock the score stood as

ONLY A REPUBLICAN BLUFF
Retroactive Feature of the Tariff
Bill Of No Consequence.
No Chance for It's Going Through
the Senate-Importers Need Have
No Fears Regarding 1t.

The Dingley tariff bill, which passed the
House yesterday, and has not yet even
been presented to the Senate, by its pro-
visions becomes operative today. This
farce appropriately begins on All Fools
Day 1t is Republican bluff, pure and
simple. There is no expectation or even
desire on the part of the party managers
to permanently incorporate the absurd
retroactive provision in the bill
IL importers desire to get goods into
the country under the Wilson law before
the Dingley law passes the Senate they
can go right on without any fear that
they will have to pay the Dingley duties
on these advance iInportations. The
Grosyenor amendment is a mere bluff and
so admitted to be by Republican leaders
in the Senate 1t will serve the purpose
of its authors fully il it frightens off
some timid importers, but no really clear
headed business man will be disturbed by
the Grosvenor scarecrow.
The sentiment among the Republican
Senators is that the retroactive section
Of the bill is a good enough Morgan, -
until the bill passes the Senate. But as q
nermanent paragraph in the bill it is
wholly without friends. Some of the best
LAWYERS of the Senate think such a pro-
vision would be unconstitutional, and II at
it might possibly invalidate the whole bill.
But it is quite unimportant whether it
would have any such effect or not. 1t has
no chance of being retained in the bill.
s'It would fully serve its purpose Ii it
alarms few Importers said we'll
known Democratic Senator today. but
there cannot be many men in the importing
business who are such gibbering idiots as
to be deceived by this pretended legislation.

WASHING A FINE ART.


'Ever since spinning was a type of
womanly industry from age to age, it has
been expected that beautiful apparel should
clothe women. From the classic robes of
Aspasia to the rich dresses of Elizabeth,
and thence to the wedding gown of Pur-
itan Priscilla we see the attractiveneSs of
dress" But at this time only has it be-
come possible for all women to be becom
ingly attired at a small cost, the supply of
beautiful inexpensive dress fabrics now to
be had making it an easy matter. \ ct
there are women who insist that the ex-
pense of having summer gowns laundered
is greater than the original cost, and that
in the end light woolens or summer silks
are more economical This is a mistaken
idea, as washing pretty belongings is fine
art, which is very easy to learn. Any girl
no matter how delicately reared can wash
her own summer gown. bright day
plenty of water, and little pure soap are
the necessary aids in the work. To do it,
fill tub two-thirds full of warm water,
dissolve fourth of cake of Ivory Soap,
(Which will not fade the most delicate
colors), add it to the water, wash the gar
ments carefully through it, rinse first in
clear water, then in blue water, wiring,
dip in thin starch, hand on the line in the
shade When dry, sprinkle, and iron on
