Senator Mason's Plan to Obviate the
watchful objection of Senator Chandler.
The latest story about Senator Billy
Mason concerns the energetic Senator
Chandler of the Granite State. Long
ago the large hearted Illinois lawmaker
had friend whom he has in recent
years lost sight of. The friend lived for
time in Illinois, and later tried his
fortunes farther west, in the state OF
Colorado. There he participated in Re-
publican politics, won the esteem of his
fellow workers, and early in the present
session of congress was named by Ma
jor Mckinley as postmaster of his town.
He had been here more than week be-
fore the session, attempting to secure
the appointment, and, being a poor
man, was running very low in purse
before his name reached the senate
Then there was long wait for confr-
nation, and he was ON the verge of de.
spair.
At last he came across the friend OF
| his boyhood, Senator Mason, and to
| him he poured out the story Of his tri-
ais. He had purchased round trip
railroad ticket, the limit of which had
nearly expired, and his nomination was
still buried with heap of similar 9TH
or papers and little chance Of its being
| reached.
''Just stay here for minute" said
Senator Mason after listening patiently
to his story. The meeting was in the
senate corridor, and the senate was
about to begin an executive session.
The Illinois senator entered the cham

ator Chandler peremptorily. II with

In his treatment of smaller question

HER LONG TRAMP.
Mrs. Bradshaw Walked From Rock Hill,

Mrs. Bradshaw Walked From Rock Hill,
8. c., to Washington.
Mrs. Agnes Bradshaw, 56 years old,
who walked to Washington from Rock
Hill, s. O., was recently furnished
transportation to Brooklyn by Sanitary
Officer Frank. The woman, who was
born in Scotland, came to Brooklyn in
1861 and has lived there with mar
ried son during recent years. Her son,
Joseph Bradshaw, who lived with his
wife at Rock Hill, was taken sick sew
eral months ago, and his mother went
to see him. She says he died on the 23d
of August, and when his widow did
not treat her exactly right she deter
mined to walk back to Brooklyn.
Mrs. Bradshaw said she thought she
would walk because she did not want
to have her son in Brooklyn spend so
much money for car fare for her When
she left Rock Hill, she says, she had
about $4 in money, and during her four
weeks on the road she managed to pay
for every nights lodging she was fur
nished. Many nights she stopped with
colored people and paid o or 10 cents
for the privilege. She also paid for
most of her food and when her money
was nearly all gone she found it neces-
sary to dispose of q coat and other gar
ments. During a recent rainy spell she
paid rs cents for four days food and
lodgings at the house Of colored fam
lily in the country. When she reached
Washington, she had 35 cents in her
pocketbook.
It was little before sundown when
she reached here, and, instead OF stop
ping, she thought she would wend heI
way as far as Baltimore. But soon aft
or she had crossed Florida avenue,
walking on the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks, night came, and she was sc
footsore and hungry that she concluded
to stop and rest.
A colored woman, standing at the
gate in front of her house at Monticello
attracted her attention. and this WON

Ii HUNG CHANG.

China, and Ii Hung Chang, involved
in the present difficulties, determined
to have the matter attended to without
China's interference. He automatically
referred the letters and advertisements

that they would be forced to take ac-
ton, and that in so doing they would
involuntarily remedy the threatened
evil for China. So that little Japan

ing tidings. Tibetans, who had come
down to trade in sulphur and food, re-
ported that white man was to have
been beheaded far in the interior, who
had shown such indifference to pain
that the Tibetans thought him devil,
and finding all their threats of no avail
to break his spirit they were carrying
him about from tribe to tribe Of their
nomad people trying new means of tor
ture and new devices of pain.
Instantly DR.. Wilson and Mr.. Larkin,
Englishmen, and Peshkar Karak Singh
Pal, nephew of the rajiwar of Askote,
organized relief party, travelling by
forced marches. Though treacherously
sent astray by wandering tribes, they
at last found Mr.. Landor in dying
condition. Dr. Wilson exercised all his
skill to revive the sufferer. After three
hours of treatment Lander was able to
tell OF some Instruments he had manag-
edto bury ere he was captured and OF the
precious portfolios, cameras and maps
OF which he had been despoiled. BY
sheer force Of will he had made the ma
ives give up to him a camera which
they had not broken. He had then turn
ed 1t upon them and procured photo.
graphs OF their diabolical employment
OF binding his servant on the rack. In a
photograph taken of him at the time Of
rescue one sees no semblance to the fea-
lures OF his last picture taken before
ieaving England. The smooth skin is
scanned, Scared and furroweA from
ourns and slashes, the hair is burned
and singed intoa matted shock, one eye
withered to mere wizened slit, the
mead Is drawn on one side by the para
yzing OF the tendons of the neck, pro-
uuced by his being bound to bent and

In that condition.

punctured with spikes. One of these en-
.ered the base of the spine and disabled

was iashed to tree for three days
without food or drink. OF this the evi.
