STILES WASN'T SMOOTH ENOUGH

Washington D. c., Nov. 2.-The Off

Gals were not clear as to where the fault
rested. The expert has not failed to cri-
ticise German methods with a freedom
that must have been irritating to the Ger
man government at times. On the other
hand, he is said to have delivered himself
of utterances that had a tendency to en-
barrsiss our own officials in certain nego-
tiauons. This was especially true it is
said, of the beef and sausage neg0tia-
otins. There IS no question as TO the
right of Germany to cause the recall Of
any person attached to the United States
embassy at Berlin upon representations
that he is persona non grata, but it is not
believed that the yhave proceeded to this
length in the case of Prof. Stiles. though
by limiting his usefulness they may have
acted quite as effectively toward securing
his retirement. There is no such official
as a scientific attache at the Germany
embassy here. The nearest approach to

I do not think that American residents
here will leave the country on account of
the war, nor do 1 suppose that they or
other aliens viii be compelled TO take up
arms to defend the Transvaal. Although
the Volksraad has already adopted. as a
part. of the constitution, an article re-
curing all inhabitants 20 fight for the
TransvaaI if called upon TO do so. Should
1 be called under this article, shall, of
course, refuse TO go. as will most other
foreigners in this country. This might
lead to complications. L expect that the

The disposition Of leading American
statesmen to hold fast to the hotels that
they patronized before they had achieved
national fame is rather a pleasing trait
1t will be remembered that President Nc
Kinley, during his confessional career,
lived long while at the Ebbitt, and that
when he came 10 the capital to be in
augurated he went straightway TO that
hosiery. Former Speaker Crisp, of Geor-
gia, had been a patro nof the Metropoli-
tan, and after his elevation to the speak
ership continued to make that house his
home. The same can be said Of Thomas
B. Reed and the Shoreham. The con-
tinuity of this policy is maintained by
Colonel D. B. Henderson. the next speak
er of the house of representatives. Col
onel Henderson has passed seven conse-
cutive seasons at the Normandie, and the
Normandie will continue 10 be his home.
Prince David of Hawaii, who IS often
seen at the Arlington and other uptown
hotels, is making many friends in Wash
ington by his pleasant manners and uras-
Stunning bearing He attended the New
York horse show and was greatly inter
ested. The prince has become greatly in
terested in the locomobiles since his
landing here, and lately ordered very
handsome one, which he will guide per-
sonaIly over the thoroughfares of the city
before its final shipment to Honolulu. He
likes Washington so well that there is
probability that he may ultimately con-
clude to become a permanent citizen.
Congressman Chester I. Long has been
hoBOred by selection as one Of the com

ca binet, the supreme court, the senate
and the committee from the house, as
well as many others All departments
were closed today out of respect to the
departed statesman.
William a. Jones, commissioner of In
dian affairs, has made mis- report. It IS

thinks our merchant marine has been

be transacted by means of American
ships.
These questions. of course, directly in

gree. but after that, the Mississippi val

ton.

PoIyg Roberts ChanCes--A
TranSvaaI Letter.

Especial Correspondence Of the Eagle)
Washington, D. c., Nov. 25-since the
arrival Of Colonel David B. Henderson of
Iowa, who viii be the next speaker of
the house, interest in the organization of
that body has become decidedly intense.
The question Of who will get the import
ant assignments is still in doubt, of
course, and matter Of much speculation
For instance, three men, all experienced
legislators, want to be chairman of the
committee OF ways and means. These
are: Serene z. Payne OF New York, pres
ent chairman: John Dalzen Of Pennsyl-
vania, and Albert J. Hopkins Of Illinois,
who gave Colonel Henderson a close rub
for speaker in the preliminary race. 1t IS
doubtful who viii land. Zach is an ex-
pericaccd man. The place carries with it
the house majority leadership, and that
means a good deal If Hopkins were TO
Secure tie place he could give up The
Craftsmanship of tce committee Of the
census. an inDcrtsnt one in this CON
gress. Colonel Henderson will give up the
Craftsmanship Of the committee Of judi
ciary, and Congressman George w. Ray
Of New York may secure it. If 50, he in
return, will surrender the place at head
Of the committee on invalid pensions.
Joe" Cannon of Illinois Will probably
remain al the head of the committee OF
appropriations. A pretty stiff fight may
ensue for first place on the committee of
banking and currency, made vacant by
the retirement Of J. H. Walker Of Mas
sachCsetts. Two candidates are J. f.
McCleary % Minnesota and Charles T.
Fowler of New Jersey. Congressman Nc
Cleary viii be remembered as contribut-
ing mach to the campaign Of 1896 in q
financial document manner, and IS a very
able nan. Fowler years ago used 10
practice law out in Kansas, in Beloit,
and was a partner Of Judge Holt, former
y lncmte CT o. the supreme court commits
sion. Thus, as ever, Kansas is in it,
Kansas will get good places in committee
assignments. There is no certainty as to
what they will be, but Colonel Henderson
likes Kansas and Kansas likes the Colo
mel. Congressman Long, who viii be
prominent in the coming session, is bound
10 secure a good assignment. SO is Bal
ley, and Curtis, and the others from the
Sunhower state.
