The Ell<ips Boom.-It is remarked
as significant that the Hon. Stephen Ben
ton EIkius very promptly responds to every
card sent in to him these days during the
sessions Of the Senate. Some Senators,
to protect themselves from unnecessary
annoyance, have standing orders with the
Senate messengers and doOrkeepers not to
receive cards fer them from people who are
not citizens OF their respective States. Not
so with Senator Elkins during these hope
full times. when lightning rods are being
run up by statesmen Of all sorts for the
Vice Presidency. Indeed, Senator Elkins
spends quite as much time in the room
now and the foyer adjoining as in the
Senate chamber. 1t IS said that he has
fresh joke for every caller. and. unlike Or.
Chauncey Depew. his laughter. y hile
genuine and hearty. is not moe uprca-ious
than that Of the appreciative citizen to
whom the joke is told. At the same tiue
it should be stated that Senator Elkins is
with Dr.. Depew a great deal in the Re
publican cloakroom. and it is suggested
that the reason he doesn't laugh as loud
as the New Yorker at the stories he tells
his marble room visitors is that he got
them from Or. Depew and very properly
abandoned himself to uncurbed cachina-
tion when they were told to him.

The Hny-Pauncefote TreRty.-At the
meeting yesterday Of the subcommittee
Of the Foreign Relations Committee that
is dealing with the -Pauncefote Treaty
no evidence was given out that that con

way against the storm Of national protest
it evoked when first announced. Inc meih-

ing chronologically the Clayton bulWer
Treaty and other similar international IN
references with this cOuntry's historical
efforts to construct and control an inter

This memorandum will be submitted TO the
full committee at a meeting TO be held To-
day. 1t is not believed that any attempt
will be made today TO force vote IN the
committee on the Hay Pauncetote treaty.
Indeed. the general opinion Is that the
Foreign Relations Committee VIII let the
treaty severely alone for a month or more

they are at present. the committee VIII

After Corbin.-The sensational revela-
tions being made by the minority OF the
Military Affairs Committee In the Idaho
"bull pen" investigation will have. it is
believed, direct bearing against Adiu-
tant General C0rbin's vaulting ambition TO
still further humiliate General Miles by
being promoted TO the grade Of major gen
eral. II Is being shown that the orders
which made the military superior to the
civil authority in Idaho during the Occur
d'Alcne troubles were sent from the Ad-
iutant Generals office without the ap-
proval or knowledge Of General Miles. VINO
is supposed to be in command OF the Army.
II is said that when this Idaho question
reaches the House a number Of Democratic
Representatives. will openly charge General
COrbin with direct responsibility for the
military despotism that so long reigned in
Idaho. This will be urged as an additional
argument against breaking down the estab-
lished rules of the Army by special legis-
lation in order to elevate the Adjutant
General to the grade occupied by General
Miles. General Merritt and General Brooke.
The latter, by the way. has been in confer
ence with Senator Elkins and other in
huentiaI members of the Senate a good deal
OF late, and it is intimated that he is work
ing through them against Corbin's promo
ton. II is said however, that Adjutant
General Corbin is firmly convinced that his
promotion will be made a partisan measure
and that he is relying upon the united
support of the Republicans.
