7,-osbington. May 26.-Republicans who
so fortunate as to be able to take in

are TO be given several samples of the
80 oratory that the Senate can furnish.

The report that Senator Lodges name
has because of it being a case of too
roy,h-Senate, been scratched off the list,
NAV or may not hold good. Party man
ayers in making their arrangements of
tbis kind always reserve the right 10
make any changes that may occur to
them and Senator Hanna, who is, of
course. the man who pulls the strings, is
not one TO hesitate al all to do just what
he considers the right thing. He wanted
Senator Lodge at first because of the i'm
pression made by his strong speech in
advocacy of the retention of the Philip
pines; according to common report. he
has since determined to dispense with the
services of the junior senator from Massa-
chusetts, for the ostensible reason that
he and the President do not think it well
for so many senators to figure in the pro-
ceedngs, but in reality, for the reason
that Senator Lodges references to posi-
bic war with Germany, are supposed TO
have made him unpopular with the Ger
mans, whose votes are wanted.
This latter seems TO be a very flimsy
r ason to say the least of it, for the Ger
mans who are American citizens have no
great love for the Emperor; however
much affection they may have for the ia
ther.and. But this controversy cuts no
re3l fgul in this brief dissertation which

If Senator Lodge is not allowed to make
that speech, the Republicans will miss
a uiss rita ion both scholarly and interest
ing The Senator from Massachusetts is
always at his best when it comes to lau-
da,ion of the Republican party. He may

but in politics he is a very practical citi-
zen He is one of the best dressed men
in the Senate, even If he does persist in
wearing now and then colored shirts
which might grace the person of a coal

cut-away coat, he rises to address the
Senate, he presents a sartorial picture
which can only be excelled by one other

colleague and fellow orator, Senator VOL
colt of Colorado.
While Senator Lodge always dresses
quietly as BELTS the representative of a
cultured Boston constituency, Senator
Wolcott creates the impression of
having gathered together all
Of the rich rainbow tints of
the glorious West, and to have combined
them successfully in each costume he
wears Wolcott can be depended upon to
introduce into the Senate chamber each
latest fad as it develops itself in London,
in Paris or in New York. When he rises
TO address the Senate it is almost inva-
riaby with his form encased in a perfect
ly fitting four buttoned sack coat-and
always buttoned as the tailors say it
should be. Senator Wolcott's clothes are
often as loud as his voice-and that's the
limit There is only one other voice in the
sefate that can compare with it and that
Is Senator Lindsay's of Kentucky.
SpOOner of Wisconsin
Spooner of Wisconsin is a little fellow
physically, but he is one of the strong
men of the Senate in mentality as we'll as
IN oratorical ability. He is one of the Re-
publicans-one of the few-who affect the
souch hat which has been so Tong the
mark of the Southern Democrat. Spooner
does not belong TO the Wolcott-Lodge
class OF good dressers. He always wears
cut-a-waY coat of loose fit and in good
American fashion let's it stay open. His
voice has a peculiar penetrating quality
