He says, further, that the Reading does
not propose TO be caught mapping BY the

antagonistic to the Reading and Baltimore

build its own line from Shippensburg. the
present terminus. to Cherry Run, where a
connection would be made with the Balti
more and Ohio. The route now being sur
veyed is no longer and rather easier of
construction than the present line Of the
Western Maryland between these points.

Dennis FiHnn.-J. L. johnson of Buff
falo. y. Y. sat in the House gallery yes
terday and anXiously asked every friendly
looking visitor TO point out 20 him the
Hon. Dennis T. Flynn the Delegate to
Congress from the bustling and expectant
Territory Of Oklahoma Il used TO know
flynn when he was poor but honest boot
black in Buffalo said Mr.. Johnson and
I want 10 see him in the role Of statesman.
As a bCOthlack he was one of the brightest
boys / ever knew and 1 understand he is
one pf the brightest members OF the House
u won't be long. I am told by people wio
ought TO know. before Flynn viii be a SEN
ator. Just think OF The sudden and long
leap from a bOOtblack on the streets OF
Buffalo TO a seat in the United States SEN
ate the most august legislative body in
the world and whose members enjoy a
power and prestige equaled by few other
men in all Christendom.
It is a fact that Mr. Flynn is slated Tor
the Senate as soon as Oklahoma is admitted
to Statehood. The main feature OF uncer-
tainty In his prospects lies in tue prOba-
bnity that Oklahoma viii not be elevated
TO Statehood until the present status OF
affairs in the Indian Territory is disrupted
by the abandonment of tribal relations. the
allotment OF the lands in severalty. and the
throwing open Of that region to white set
tlement so that Territory can be attached
to Oklahoma as an integral part Of the
new State. The political complexion of
the whites in the Indian Territory is
strongly Democratic. and the tide of i'm
migration that will rush into it from Mis-
souri, aud Arkansas as soon as the Territory
is thrown open to settlement will be dOmi-
mated by Democrats. This may overwhelm
the Republican majority In Oklahoma when
the two Territories are fused into a State
so that the senatorial aspirations of the
Hon. Dennis Flynn may never reach sub
| stantial results Ii is said that Col Bob
owen. of the Indian Territory. Who is well
known in Washington. is pretty apt to be
one OF the first Senators from the pros
! pective State if the Democrats dominate the
| coalition.

senator Mason NcNt.-A friend Of the
Hon. Billy Mason is responsible fer the
S statement that that indammatory and
fearful advocate Of the mtuJored Filipino
is going 20 get after Senator Beveridge i'm
a way that will make the young HOosier
statesman wish he had never been born.
The story Is that the IHinoisan registered a
solemn vow. when ij was announced that
Senator Beveridge was TO make speech
on his Philippine resolution. TO resent in
as forcible manner as parliamentary rules
will permit any insinuation that the con
duct OF the opponents OF annexation has
strengthened the hands of the Malay iu-
surrectionists Now that the Indianan has
boldly declared that upon the hands Of
AguinsldO's sympathizers in this country

Mr.. Hoar in the Senate yesterday for
this country 10 strike down the young
republic in the Philippines" The aged
Senator from Massachusetts should be
more explicit What young republic does
he refer to- Does he mean the rowing
bands of Malay cutthroats who torture and
butcher the prisoners they take? Does he
mean the savage brutes who tried to MUIR

plotted two massacres of American women
and children in Manila?

One of the witnesses against Senator
Clark in the Montana case before the Sen
ate has contributed to the moral Htera-
ture Of the age an entirely new definition

expert. truth is a correct statement made TO

ollaries of the proposition are several and
important A truthful statement TO per-
son not entitled 20 il is a lie; an untrUth-
full statement to a person not entitled 10
the truth is tantamOunt to the truth. and
so on. It happens, interestingly, that this
discoverer Of the real truth serum had pre-
viously testified before DAILY committee
of the Montana Legislature. Ii would be
edifyng to know how he regarded that
body in respect of its right and title TO
get the truth from him; also. whether OF
not he considers the Senate committee as
entitled to straight goods! We are afraid
that evidence of the kind he is likely to
give would, on moral grounds. be carefully
and dublously pcrutinized by frontier

rumor has gained some vogue during the
past few days. TO the effect that Senator
Blackburn's seat will be contested by the
Republicans on the ground that the Goebel
law is unconstitutional. and that without
the benefit OF that Law Blackburn could not
have been elected. Enquiry among Re-
publican Senators has failed TO substan-
tiate the rumor which, nevertheless, con-
tinues TO be discussed in whispers II is
stated that Senator Lindsay VIII conduct
the fight against Blackburn, and that
Judge Lindsay 5 continued absence from

making for the contest. IL is not claimed
that Judge Lindsay would hope 10 per
S0naIly profit BY the contest should IL be

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Why the Delay .--COnsiderable COM
ment has been caused in Democratic
circles by Colonel Bryan's postponement

accepted an invitation 20 dine with O. II.
p, Belmont at the Democratic Club in New
York on the 18th instant. Engagements
for other dates had been made based Oh
the understanding that the Nebraskan
would cross the Alleghenies before the 18th.
But all appointments are now in an un-
certain state. II is not even known wheth-
er Colonel Bryan will stop in Washington
on his way East or on his return to the
West The cause of his pOstponement Of
his start is the subject Of varied coRiec
lures. All surmises lead to one central be-
lief; that is, that the colonel wants 10
check the incipient mutiny in the camp OF
his former PopuIist allies before leaving
the stronghold OF that cult for the East.
II is pointed out as probability that Col
onel Bryan does not wish to come East as
the idol merely OF the Western and South
ern wings OF the Democracy, but also
the undisputed leader of the allied forces
opposed to gold mOnOmetailism. II is
