A special to the Baltimore Amertcd"
of Tuesday, dated at Annapolis, reads
like a fairy tale, but we print the
story for what it is worth, concerning,
as it does, the family of Governor
Lowndes, and more especially his son
Lloyd, who was recently married at
Chillicothe, Ohio, to a prominent
Young lady of that city:
If Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., hadn't had
a twin brother Richard he would
never have married the girl he did in
Chillicothe, Ohio, last week. In fact,
there is a story behind the wedding
rarely met with in real life-one that
most people would say could
not happen outside the covers
Aof a novel But happen it did, and,
.ecause the persons concerned are OF
he most prominent families in their
respective localities, the story is all
She more interesting. The twins are

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 81, 1899.
President Mckinley is highly
pleased with the reports of Gen. Otis
on the success of the campaign in the
Philippines, showing Aguinaldo to be
a fugitive and members of his family
and of his socalled government, pris-
oners. 1t looks now as though Cen
Grosvenor's prediction, made a few
weeks ago, that the Filipino insur-
rection would be over by the time
Congress assembled would prove cor
rect In fact, Secretary Root regards
the instruction as already over, as far
as organized fighting is concerned.
The ending of the instruction will
spike the guns of many of the ants
in Congress, and they will have to
hunt a new subject for fault-finding.
The Senate Finance Committee, or
rather the Republican members of
that committee, held a meeting to-
day to consider the financial bill pre-
pared by the Republican House eau
Gus Committee. So far, the Senators
have not agreed to accept the bill
as drawn by the House Committee, of
which Col. Henderson is chairman, as
a whole, although agreeing to the
principal points therein, and the
House Committee has declined to
drop the bill and adopt the one pre-
pared by the Senators. Present plans
for handling this bill in the House do
not contemplate its being referred to
a committee. In fact, it may be
passed by the House before the com
mittees are announced, although Col.
Henderson has said that he would
announce the committees before the
holiday recess. The caucus commit
tee will report the bill to the Repub-
lican caucus, that will be held at the
end of this week to nominate officers
of the House, and it is expected that
the caucus will endorse the bill and
adopt a resolution in favor of its be-

The Republican leaders of the
House, after carefully considering the
subject, have practically decided that
it will not be advisable to make any
radical changes in the House rules,
which haye been nearly the same
during the last two Congresses.
There are some proposed changes
which are favored by a considerable
number of Republican members and
which might have been made had the
Republican majority in the House
been a little larger AS it will be,
with the Republican majority only in
the teens, the Reed rules are consid-
cred necessary to insure Republican
control of House legislation.
The expulsion of Representative
elect Roberts, of Utah, from the
House, which is propable anyway,
will become an absolute certainty if
the Mormons contine such tactics as
making boasts that they have secured
pledges from sufficient number of
members to prevent the adoption by
the necessary two-thirds vote of a
resolution for his expulsion. The
only possible show that Roberts has
to retain his seat lies in his ability to
convince members that the Mormons
are not responsible for his nomina-
ton and not interested in having him
keep his seat, and it may be imagined
what that show will be when this
Mormon boast becomes generally
known among members. A number
of them have already expressed the
opinion that such talk, of itself, was
valid ground for the expulsion of
Roberts. A plan of keeping Roberts
out of the House has been suggested,
and if the Clerk of the House, who
presides till the Speaker is elected,
agrees to it, only majority vote
would be required. This plan is to
raise an objection when he presents
himself to be sworn in. If the Clerk
entertains this objection, the House
could either sustain this objection or
refer the matter to a committee for
investigation and report. In either
case a majority vote would keep Rob
erts out. There are, however, serious
objections to this plan, and it may
not be adopted.
Representatives. Clayton, Of,
New York, who was elected to Con
gress as a Democrat, has been express
ing opinions which show that he isn't
the same kind of Democrat that Mr..
Bryan is. Mr.. Clayton says he favors
gold standard legislation by this Con
gress, and will vote for the bill He
also announces that he favors Presi-
dent McKinley's foreign policy, the
construction of an Isthmian Canal,
and the holding of the Philippines
for all time, in order to be sure of
getting our share of the immense
trade of South Eastern Asia. AS the

the case was Miss May Campbell
Quinn, daughter of J. G. Quinn, vice
president of the First National Bank
of Chilicothe.
To begin at the beginning, Lloyd
and Richard look alike as the pro
verbal two peas in the pod, and this
resemblance has always caused more
or less annoyance. Both are tall and
spare and fair, with aristOcratic fea-
lures and aristOcratic bearing, as be-
come Young men seven of whose fam
lily have been governors of the blue
blooded state of Maryland. When
they are together those who know
them well NAV not mistake the one
for the other, but when they are met
with separately even their mother
confuses their identity occasionally.
The day before the wedding at
ChillicOthe, for instance, Governor
and Mrs. Lowndes were sitting in
their room when one of the twins APP
peared in the doorway. Mrs. Lowndes
looked puzzlingly at her son for n
moment, and then said; "Who are
you-Lloyd or Richard?n When they
were boys the twins objected very
strongly to being mistaken for each
other. AS they grew older they
grew wiser, and such mistakes ceased

western Mining Notes.

GlbbOnSville, Idaho, reports that ore
has been struck in the Huron mine of
the A. D. and NJ group, which runs
$3.50 gold per ton.
A wall of galena thirty-five feet in
length has been exposed in a new drift
in the old Jordan and Galena mine.
near Bingham Utah. It's value is esti-
mated at $250,00O
According to the Salt Lake Tribune,
ore has been struck in the Ajax mine
at Tintic, which assays II II per cent
copper, in addition to a fine showing in
silver and some gold.
The Silver Kings regular monthly
dividend has just been increased from
$37 800 to $5O,OOO-an advance from 25
cents to 30 II cents a share, says the
Salt Lake Tribune.
Leadville is recovering from it's many
disasters of the last six years, and
comes up with an estimated output OF
$2,000,000 in gold; $4500,000 in silver,
and $2,5OO,000 in lead and iron.
Butte, Mont, reports that the output
and development of it's mines in 1898
exceeds that of any previous year.
Butte produces approximately 100000
600 pounds of copper and paid nearly
$10O00,O00 in dividends.
Within sixty days all of Leadville's
downtown mines will be unwatered.
When the mines have been put in OPP
GRAFTON again the increase i'll tonnage
will be at least 500 per day, and may
run much higher than that.
Tin has long been known to exist in
various parts of Montana, but no at
temDt has been made to discover q
ledge carrying this metal. 1t is a fact
worthy Of note that wherever tin is
found lead and silver mines have been
discovered.
The stockholders of the Republic
mine in Washington have received
checks for the fourth monthly divi-
dend of cents per share, or $4,000.
This makes total of $4,000, which
this rich property has paid its FORUM
ate stockholders within 120 days.
