MORGAN IS NOT A PROBABILITY

Washington, February 7.-tSpecial.) 1.-The interesting question arises as to who will assume the democratic leadership of the senate on the retirement of Senator Cor man on the fourth of March.
 There is usually scattering of leaders in proportion to the number of questions which come up during the session. For instance when the tariff bill was pending a new leader for this particular branch of legislative work had to be found. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, was on the finance com mittee and so naturally the leadership of the Wilson bill fell to him.
 Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, led in the fight for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act He was chair man of the committee which had this mat ter in charge and was intrusted by Presi- dent Cleveland with the administrations s plans as to this act. On this question the party was divided, a part being for its un- conditional repeal, a major portion oppos- ing its repeal at all, and a number of men, lead by Senator German, who wanted and believed that the matter could be compro- missed.

Jones the Natural Head

When he turned the tariff fight over to Senator Jones of Arkansas it was predicted that the latter would retain the leadership of his party thereafter in the senate. On the strength of that fight Senator Jones became an important figure in the Chicago convention, and was afterwards elected chairman of the national committee. But since then and the defeat of Bryan he has not kept in the lead, though he is still the practical head of the party.
 But managing a campaign and leading ones own peers in the senate is a very diff ferent matter. Jones has many qualities of leadership but he lacks some one essential element which is indehnable. In the up- hill fight which the democrats will have in the senate in the next four or five years some leader will evolve, and the natural born followers in that body, and there are always natural born followers in every body, are casting around for him.
 In this connection there is one name heard oftener in the press galleries and in the Hobbies than any other. It is that of Bacon, of Georgia, the right bower of German in the late fight if indeed he has not been the actual leader, the power be- hind the throne.

Bacon's Fight on Treaty

Before Senator German had begun to make the fight, or even before MT. Bryan advised the ratification of the treaty, Senator Bacon had taken his stand and framed his resolutions around which the whole fight has been waged. He would himself in that position, but German ral- lied the forces and took as his standard the resolutions of Bacon German kept the forces into line, but it has been Bacon who gave the reasons for standing firm.
 Bacon and German are very much alike in some respects They are cool and col lected and each a strict believer in party organization. They have both got big brains, but Bacon's is educated and cul- tured while German lacks learning and scholastic training He makes experience play a showy part but he has no power of debate and is a poor debater. Bacon, on the other hand, is the readiest debater on the floor of the senate unless his equal be Foraker, of Ohio. Both Foraker and Ba- con are quick to think, and can shape their thoughts into words more rap idly possibly than any other team in the senate. Both are rather fair in debate, too. Strange. l have heard each make that criticism of the other.
 Unusually Fair in Debate
 Foraker, in speaking of Bacon, says that the latter never takes an unfair advantage of A slip or e chance expression; that the Georgian accepts the meaning and not the actual expression. Both these men are students thing that Senator German has never been.
 He began too late in life to classify his knowledge or to think on abstruse proposi- lions. With education and legal training he would have doubtless been wonderful lawyer but other standards have been his, and other aspirations But Senator Bacon has all that German seems to have and with 1t much that he lacks. have noted him carefully during this debate. It has given him a prominence that nothing else could have done very well. Another such

at Calulet. The insurgents had evil
IDENTIFY fed far beyond rife range, for
the American outposts were not dis
turbed, and not a shot was fired dur
ing the night.
At daybreak yesterday a reconnoi-
tering party started up the railroad
track toward Angeles, four miles
north. The party approached within
1,200 yards of the town and opened fire
with the field gun. The Americans
were received with a badly directed
rifle fire, which the battalion of the
Seventeenth returned with a few vol
leys.
The strength of the insurgents at
Angeles not being known the situation
was reported to General Macarthur,
who did not desire to send reinforce
ments, and directed the reconnoitering
party to return unless the insurgents
abandoned the town. Soon after the
receipt of these orders it became evil
dent that the insurgents had set fire
to the town and fed, leaving the place
to be occupied by the Americans.
The American troops occupy Calulet,

| A similar inspection made at San
Fernando about the middle of May did
not show as satisfactory conditions
existing as at Malolos in the matter
of rations, for, while the rations is
sued were regulation in amount, it had
been impossible, since leaving the
vicinity of Calumpit early in May, to
furnish the troops with fresh beef and
fresh vegetables. The travel ration
was, therefore largely used I'm
fortunately owing probably to the in

The command was found also to be
badly off in the matter of clothing,

inspection recently made, however,
