a remarkable degree. Allison Of Iowa n
the most distinguished looking Senator.
and handsome man ut that.
The dude of the Senate, par excellence,
Is Edward Oliver Wolcott, who is said
to possess seventy-fve suits of clothes;
and he never wears q pair Of trousers
more than three times. His clothes are
always Of the most fashionable cut, and
it is even alleged that he changes his cos
tune two or three times during long
days session at the Capitol, keeping a
small wardrobe in his committee room for
that purpose: Allison, Mcmillan, German
ana Wetmore are all well-dressed men.
Cockrell Is the worst dressed Senator; it
has been said of him that his trousers bag
pt the ankles.
Weil-Dressed Representatives.
The best-dressed man in the House Is,
beyond question, Harry Bingham, who
carries the Republican party OF Philadel1
phia in the palm of his hand. Though
81 years old, and with record Of service
in ten Congresses, he has all the air and
activity of youthful beau. His earnest
rival is Cincinnati member-Jacob IL.
Bromwell. 1t may be declared, without
any reserve, that the worst-dressed man
in the House is Romulus Y. Linney OF
North Carolina. For some reason he ap-
pears In a very much dressed up condi-
tion on rare occasions, but the phenome-
non is purely spasmodic, and Immediately
he relapses into his accustomed disorder
ly aspect. Customarily he looks as If he
had on his wedding suit Of 80 years ear
ler-shiny and buttoned awry. Neverthe-
1acc ha 10 a hr;Ilio mt orofor In tho old time
forid style, impetuous and earnest.
Speaking of oratory, it is surprising to
find that there are no great orators in the
House of Representatives to-day-no men
to take the place of Crisp ana Bourke
Cochran. Such orators as there are sit
among the Republicans, and the only
three of any note as such are all of them
Iowa men, oddly enough. There is Hen
derson of Iowa, fervid and impressive;
Dolliver of Iowa, smooth and mellifiuous,
and Cousins of Iowa, who has q fine voice
and prepares his speeches carefully. All
three arc eloquent men, and Dolliver is
q wit of the first water.
On the Democratic side no man is to be
considered seriously as an orator, unless
Bailey be so termed. The Republicans
have rising man in Moody, from the old
Essex district of Massachusetts,; but
among the leaders of the House ut pres
ent there is remarkably little oratorical
ability.
At the Senate end of the Capitol, Frye
and Wolcott are the best orators. VOL
colt is the wittiest man in the upper
house. and is always sure Of attention
when he talks. Aldich of Rhode Island
is the most expert debater. Stewart, Of
the silver tongue and silver hair, talks
the most.

addressed to Senior Canalejas. The Span
ish minister admits writing il. 1t con-
tains expressions rejecting upon the Pres
ident of the United States of such char
acter as to end the minister's usefulness
here. Gen. Woodford has been instruct.
ed to inform the Spanish Government that
the immediate recall of Minister de LONE
is expected"
At meeting of the Spanish cabinet,
held Thursday under the presidency of
the queen regent, the minister for foreign
affairs, Senor Gullon, read dispatch
from Senor Dupuy dc LONE the Spanish
minister at Washington, saying that the
published letter to Senior Canalejas was
written by him, and that his position, con-
sequently, had become untenable, and he
begged the Government to accept his res
ignation. The cabinet decided to accept
the resignation of Senior Dupuy de LONE,
and the ministers subsequently met and
decided to telegraph to Senor de LONE
accepting his resignation and intrusting
the first secretary with the conduct of the
current affairs of the legation.
Senor de LONE sought to cover his re-
treat in an adrot manner by voluntarily
rendering his resignation in advance Of
the Presidents demand for his recall. 1t
is now admitted that he cabled his resig-
nation as early as 10 o'clock Tuesday
night. At o o'clock he learned fac SIM
lie copy of the letter was in the hands Of
the newspapers, and an hour later he had
resigned. This step was taken to pre-
serve De Lomes status in the diplomatic
service at home. He hoped thereby to
forestall action by this Government which
would have made him ineligible for reap
pointment in the diplomatic service again.
The President determined not to give the
minister the benefit of this ruse and made
the demand for the recall with view Of
forever terminating Senor de Lome's
usefulness as n diplomat.
The feeling Wednesday morning at the
White House and the State Department
was one OF charity for De LONE. Nobody
doubted the letter was forgery and
State Department officials showed their
sympathy for the diplomat to the extent
of calling attention to the Federal statute
protecting foreign diplomats from libel.
While all this anxiety was being shown
for the Spanish minister he was crown
ing his diplomatic career by misleading
the President and State Department in
order to gain personal advantage. This
act of De Lome's was the prime cause for
the President insisting upon registering at
Madrid n demand for his recall. 1t is not
believed by officials of the administration
that the incident will lead to any friction
whatever between the two governments.

Judge Gary arrived at LOO o'clock,
and he promptly ordered every one to sit
down and maintain silence. The last
strain of the trial had come, and the 81
lence became oppressive, while the wait
for Luetgert and the jury continued. No
one ventured to break this, except Mr..
Harmon, who objected TO the draft from
one of the open windows, and asked the
bailiff to close it, Luetgert came into
court closely guarded by FIVE bailiffs, and
took his position near the private entrance
to the court room. Attorney Harmon re-
quested that he should take his place with
his counsel, and the prisoner complied.
He was looking pale and anxious, and
showed the effects of the severe strain
under which he has labored.
Juror Snow was the first to appear.
few minutes later. The solemn express
sion OH the faces of the twelve men seem
ed to show that they had decided OH n
verdict Of guilty. Juror Bachelor carried
bundle Of papers, the instructions and
verdict. Another wait of five minutes,
more silent than the first occurred, while
Iuetgert was being brought over from the
Jail. Juror Bolek bowed his head as if
suffering from the long strain. Juror
Loeb's face was swollen and red as if he
had been weeping.
Judge Gary addressed the jurors: Gen
tlemen, have you agreed upon verdictr'
Juror Bachelor rose and replied, I'VE
have, your honor" The momentous piece
of paper was handed to the clerk, who

look Of intense relief n this announce
ment passed over the face of the prisoner,
who seemed glad that he had escaped the
death penalty. Mr.. Harmon promptly
rose and requested that the jury be polled
This was done by the clerk, and each
juror announced that he concurred in the
| verdict. Mr.. Harmon then gave notice
that in due time he would file notice for
new trial. The jury were then discharg-
ed by Judge Gary.
THAT is only half victory and half a
defeat" said Mr.. Harmon. 1T was un-
justifable from either standpoint. and a
compromise. We asked for an acauittal
or conviction, and there could be only
one conclusion IL he was really guilty."
Luetgert's lawyers regard the verdict as
a compromise on the part of the jury and
look upon 1t as victory for their client.
Luetgert was Immediately surrounded by
his friends as he stood up in court, and
they shook him heartily by the hand and
congratulated him that he had escaped
the death penalty. They plainly showed
their satisfaction with the outcome Of the
trial.
The big prisoner all this time was close
ly guarded by bailffs, who when the short
scene was over led him back to his cell in
the Jail.

Adolph l.. Luetgert, the Chicago saus-

ter fiye hours of delibcration the jury
agreed upon this verdict. Half an hour

twelve men rose in his seat in the jury

that beyond the question of reasonable
doubt he believed the prisoner had taken
the life OF his wife. Louise Luetgert, on
the night of May /. The prisoner sat
without sign of emotion and met the
gaze of each juror without tremor. If
anything, look of gratitude and relief
was noticeable on his face. He had ex-

The first intimation that verdict had
been arrived at. says Chicago dispatch,
was brought by one of the bailiffs from
the jury room on the sixth floor. The jury
wanted to see Judge Gary. This was
shortly before IL o'clock. The scene in

from Guatemala City, the capital, where
President Barrios has lived and the Gov
ernment departments are carried on. 1t
added that entire calm prevails.
President Barrios was a man of wide
attainments and marked executive abil-
ity- He was comparatively young, being
only AZ years old. The six years term
of service for which he was elected termi-
mated March 10 next, but the national
congressional assembly already had ex-
tended this term for further four years.
The new president, Mr.. Cabrera, is a
man of prominence in Guatemala, and is
one of two chosen by the congress to fill
the presidency in ease of n vacancy. The
system of the country is different from
that in the United States, there being no
vice-president elected with the president.
The duty of filling the executive chair de-
wolves on the congressional branch, and
accordingly two vice-presidents, first and
second, were designated some time ago.
They are eligible in the order of their
choice. When the excitement of the ira
gedy fss passed a presidential election
may b, held.
The assassination of President Barrios
probably is due to the revolutionary feel
ing which has been growing in Guatemala
ever since he declared himself dictator
last June. One of the first acts of the
rebels was the assassination of the pres
ident's brother i'm San Jose, and the muir
der of the wife of the jefe politico of
Quezaltenango. Following closely on
these two crimes came the capture of
Plaza San Marcos by the revolutionists.
To the dissatisfaction since President
Barrios proclaimed himself dictator the
had financial condition of the country un-
der his rule has added fuel to the flames
of discomfort. The dead dictator had
been straining every effort to restore
peace and harmony, but had been thwart-
ed by an assassin.

that this is only n fraction Of the total
number to leave, and figures sent from
Des Moincs show that fully 10000 farm
crs, professional men, mechanics and la
borers will risk their savings and lives
along the Yukon this fall and coming win
ter. There has already started pilgrim
age like that OF the '49ers. The stories
of fabulous wealth have caught the rich
and the poor alike, and even politicians
are planning to take the risks.
Michigan has 321 men who have already
bought tickets and will leave shortly.
There is hardly town of any size in
Michigan that is not talking Klondike or
showing interest in companies about to
leave for the Yukon.
Wisconsin is still more enthusiastic.
Milwaukee reports more than 100 men
who are looking about for supplies and
equipment and getting tickets to the
Northwest, and from every hamlet over
the State comes the word that one man
or two men have started for the Yukon,
or are getting ready to start.
Indiana's total from correspondents is
204. This is far from the entire number
OF argonauts. Indianapolis has been the
center of n great Klondike movement.
The companies there expect that 100
men will leave during the next ten days.
II Is the same all over Indiana-in big
towns, the little ones and in the country.
The amazing interest the West is now
showing in the Klondike has not been
equalcd since 40 and is thought to be as
wild as 1t was in that year.
