Aaron Burr in Washington.

was separated from the Capitol by marsh,
and was surrounded by the debris Of I'M
finished buildings. Thick woods, with
openings here and there. where House
could be seen, formed the setting of the
palatial home
While the newcomers brought the man
ners and customs of their respective States,
the original land proprietors retained their
rural residences and habits of living.
There were the Madisons, from Virginia;
the Gallatins. from Pennsylvania; Gen.
Dearborn. from Massachusetts,, and Robert
Smith, of Maryland; heterogeneous mass
of customs and fashions thrown together.
1t will be remembered that Burr belonged
to the Lee-and-Gates faction, and used
his power to poison the mind of the public
against the military talent of Washington.
In 1882 Burr married Mrs. Provost, the
widow of British officer. He was active
in the campaign of 1900 and the success of
the Republicans in New York was at
tributed to his efforts. When the voting
was brought into the Electoral College and
each received the same number and it was
thrown into the House, most of the Federal
members voted for Burr, which made him
Vice-President. He thus lost prestige in
the Republican party by loaning his name
to the FederaliStS and uniting with the
opposing party for the sake of defeating the
candidate of his party; it dissolved his con-
nection with the Republican party and de-
stroyed his political influence.
In the Summer of 1904 the country was
shocked by the news that Vice-President
Burr had killed Alexander Hamilton in a
duel Mr. Burr saw that MIR. Jefferson
would be the candidate for reelection for the
second term, and that he was to be left out
of the reckoning. He had his eye on the
Presidency and was determined not to be

A COyote's q Mistake

l.. X. Allen, Co. f, 18th t. s.. tells of
being on picket one night i'll the Indian
country in January, 1872, when deep
snow was on the ground and the ther-
mometer was 26 degrees below. On the
post was a 12-pounder howitzer for emer-
gency use, the instructions being that in
case of Immediate danger the same was to
be loaded and be held ready for action
-Four hundred Indian lodges were across
the rth Platte River about half mile
from IT,. fort, Fetterman. The Indians
had been trading at the suffers and gotten
plenty of fire-water, and had been very
NOISY late IN the evening, and had proWled
around pretty close, and as they were not to
be trusted the writer thought best to load
the gun. He did so, and laid one end of
the lanyard on the ground, with a stone
upon II. He started on his beat to see if
all was well in the background. He start
ed back again, and as he turned the corner
he suddenly met coyote. Which was
scared the most he can not say, but the
beast started for the sage-brush at full
speed, and in his rush tripped over the
lanyard. The gun spoke loudly enough
to arouse the fort, and the boys came
tumbling out in the cold, expecting an
Indian attack. They returned to quar-
ters much refreshed for their midnight
airing, but in no good humor But no
more noise was heard from the Indians
that night, and when daylight came they
had pulled up stakes and gone for other
parts.

When Thomas jefferson stepped out Of
the chair of President of the Senate into
that of President of the United States
Aaron Burr took the chair of President OF
the Senate.
II will be remembered that in the vote for
President there was tie between Thomas
Jefferson and Aaron Burr. each receiving
T3 votes This was said to be the result
of dishonorable manuvering. The tie threw
the election into the House of Representa-
tives. The country was wild with excite
ment. Party lines had begun to formulate.
and by the time of the third Presidential
election they were clearly defined through
out the Union under the name of Federalist
and Republican.
Washington, Hamilton. Jay. Pickering,
Marshall, We're among the Federalists;
jefferson, Burr, George Clinton, Madison,
We're in the other party.
The tie was known in the country the
middle of December. The House voted
upon it the middle of February. During
these 60 days Jefferson was in Washington,
Hamilton in New York, and Burr was at
home in Albany. The result of the vote
made Jefferson President and Burr Vice
President, he having received the next
highest vote.
The 4th of March was day of great re-
joicing. Professions, orations. and BAN
quets in the larger cities and towns testi-
fed to the public JOY, and peace reigned
once more.

The impeachment trial OF Judge Samuel

Senators sat as Judges on a semi-circular
platform on either side Of the Nice-Presi

LITTLE BOYS WILD RIDE.

old son of w:-B. Evans. an engineer on
the ST. Johns motor line, about noon today
climbed fntoxRh engine which was stand
ing in the yard and opened the throttle.
In a short space of time the engine was
going at a rate of twenty miles per hour.
The father of the boy started in pursuit
as soon as he heard the engine moving off,
but the speed was too great for him to
overhaul 1t.
He telephoned to the stations ahead, but
when Portsmouth, the next station. was
reached no one dared make the attempt to
board it is it thundcred past When with
in 300 yards of the end of the line. the
steam died down and a heavy grade was
encountered. which slackened the speed.
A motorman on connecting electric
line, who had been informed by telephone.
jumped on board and stopped the engine
within a few feet Of the terminus. The
boy held on to the throttle all the way
and was not at all disconnected over his
perilous ride.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY
is PARTLY OUTLINED.
Senators Agree to Advocate Abso-
lutte Independence for the PHIL
ippine Islands.

WASHINGTON, Jan. N-The Democrat
ic members Of the senate held conference
today to consider the question OF party
policy on the various questions before con-
gress. They have found themselves follow
ing somewhat divergent paths on some Of
these questions and concluded that their
party interests demanded that they should
have a better understanding among them
selves. Hence today's conference No deh-
mite conclusion was reached but when the
conference adjourned there was general
understanding Of the lines to be pursued.
The question Of the policy to be pursued
toward the Philippine archipelago attract
cd more attention than any other. On this
point there was a general exchange OF
views the consensus of opinion evidently
favoring the policy outlined in Senator
Bacon's resolution Of protecting life ana
property In the islands until quiet fs re-
stored when the United States shall pro-
vide the opportunity and prescribe the
method for the formation Of gov
ernment by and of the people of the Phil
ippine islands to be independently exer-
cised and controlled by themselves"
There was also more or less discussion
of the bills providing form of government
for the Hawaiian islands and for Puerto
Rico. The preponderance of opinion con-
cerning these bills was favorable to abso-
lutte free trade between the United States
and these islands as part of this country.
With reference to the financial bill 1t
was practically decided to offer Substi-
tute providing for the free coinage OF
silver. Senators Lindsay and Canery
were present. and while they indicated
their intention not to be bound by any
decision on this line they recognised the
futility of any effort to prevent its being
pursued.
The conference adjourned with the un-
that another meeting will be
held soon.
