JERRY HAS A FUSS
With Mahon, of Pennsylvania, Over
the Army Bill

Washington, Jan. 31.-During debate
on the army bill yesterday Mr.. Simpson
and Mr.. Mahon (Rep., Pa-) became en-
gagged in an alteration which reached
Its climax when the latter denounced
the former as a demagogue.
Mr.. Simpson rose to a question Of
personal privilege in order to reply. He
termed Mr. Mahon a ''plutogogue" and
said it was but natural that men like
himself could not get votes in a state
where a conspicuous candidate for the
United States senate was under indict-
1nent. The corporations in Pennsyl-
vania elected the congressman, he said,
and 1t was therefore not strange that
there were few Democratic or PopuGStic
representatives from that state,
In concluding he raised a laugh by
saying he was proud of being called a
Democrat hastily correcting himself.
he said he meant "demagogue."
s-Or Democrat either,'' he added.

Mahon. He has been branded a DEM
agogue by the people of his own dis
trfct, who have voted to leave him at
home" Republican applause-)
Mr.. Simpson, in support of Mr.. Ma
hons amendment, referred to the
numerous incompetents given commits
sions during the late war; and Incl
dentally to the fact that Chairman
Hull's son had held a lieutenant col
onelcy. Under the bill, said he, his son
could be appointed to a similar rank in
the regular army. 81 object" he adj

THE NEW HOTEL CLERK.
The Clerk of the Glittering Diamond
and Lofty Air Creature of the
Past

New York Correspondence, Pittsburg
Dispatch.l
There is one noticeable thing in con-
nection with the progress made in the
hotel interests in this town, and this is
the improvement made in the character
of the hotel clerks.
In other words, the clerk of the gilt
tering diamond and top-lofty airs is a
: thing of the past, and in his place is
found the neatly dressed man of anna
BILE manners and business ideas. There
was time. not many years ago, when
to be a popuar hotel clerk it was neces-
sary to fiaunt a diamond of doubtful
value in the face of the arriving
guests, to assume a superior manner
and to possess an acquaintance with
every subject except the one for which
he was employed; but with the change
in all business methods a change has
come in the character of the hotel clerk.
Many are the causes that have pro-
duced this improvement. A higher de-
gree of intelligence, broader culture and
the necessity of being abreast of the
times may be given as the explanation
why hotel clerks of the present day
are a vast improvement on those Of a
decade ago.

New York, Jan. 31.-A special from
Washington says Secretary Long has
telegraphed to Rear Admiral Dewey
asking him to inform the navy depart
Inent of the number of marines station

These marines were ordered to
China's capital some weeks ago in an

other European governments had as
signed guards to their legations and
embassies in Pekin.
The Boston was ordered to Taku and
