Jones and Stewart

The Washingt, n Times has the follow
ing:
Senator Jones of Nevada, who has
given notice Of speech on the pending
financial bill for this week, will address
the Senate at length for the first time
this session-in fact. for the first time III
the last two or three sessions. Senator
Jones, while regular in his attendance at
all of the meetings of the Senate and
scrupulously attentive to the proceedings
rarely takes it upon himself to make ex-
tended speeches upon any of the general
tepice which are continually comming up
in Congress. Finance, however, 10 q sub
ject in which he is deeply interested, not
only as q Senator from ono OF the great
his party interest, and it is expected that
his speech will be long and an
earnest one.
A Senator who differs from his col
league, is being ever ready to attack any
legislation that is not favored by him, is
Mr.. Stewart Of Nevada. He has shown
great interest III tHe duCSUIohs
and has moro than once made short re-
plies to some Of the arguments that have
been brought forward in the speeches
made on this subject. Senator Stewards
white hair and beard are indications of
age which are not borne oat in his gen
eral manner. He is surprisingly active
! and besides being an indefatiglble work
err while at the capitol, he attends 20
| other Gutie- that would not be expected
of man of his age. The Senator is one
of very few of the California gold
miners of 1880 whe have attained to
prominence in the affairs of the nation
I He h = held many public offices on the
Pacific Coast, and was for several years
engaged in extensive mining litigation
Senator Stewart Was first elected to the
Senate in 1864, and Is now serving his
fifth term, which will expire in 1905.

Sensational News Items

Who does not remember how staid,
respectable and bald headed the San
Francisco Bulletin was years ago. 1t
employed no startling head lines and it
never allowed anything to creep into
it's columns that was not the absolute
frozen truth, and frozen hard at that.
AS rule, when il was not sure of any
thing as fact it laid it away in cold
storage until its absolute status as q
fact had been demonstrated by all its
contem poraries first. Then it drew
the item out OF its refrigerator and
gave it to the world.
But the Bulletin Of today has become
more modernized and fully as gay and
reckless as any Of the rest of them, and
travels in fast company.
Here are some precious samples from
the Bulletins Geographic columns:
New York, Feb. 1.-THE death of
Doctor William Wallace Lamb in Phil
adelphia, recalls wonderful physical
experience he related some time ago.
Lamb, who was seriously i'll, had q
dream. When he awoke he told OF a
wonderful trip to heaven and he'll, and
now he had visited and enjo,ed the
pleasures of land Of birds and flowers
the place of everlasting torment.

10 be simply a question OF hours until
United States Senator Cushman K. Davis
passes away. the reports from his bedside
this afternoon stating that his strength
was slowly ebbins away HIS physicians
do not anticipate immediate death. but
practically admit that so far as any hu-
man agency is able to know death is GER
tain. The family have all along been
buoyed up with a faint hope that the
statesmen might have greater reserve
strength and be able to baffle the disease,
but to-day they seemed to have at last
abandoned even this faint hope, and are
anxtously awaiting the end.
Last night showed a recurrence of the
delirium Of Friday night in fully as pro-
nounced form. and none of the family
was able TO secure rest during the night
Only three hours sleep was secured by
the patient During the early morning to-
day he was noticeably weaker, and as
the day advanced the weakness became
more pronounced. He was unable to take
much nourishment and there was even
difficulty In administering the necessary
medicines. His wife. parents. and sis
ters kept close at hand during the day
and all that could be done to alleviate
his sufferings was done.
When not dellrious ne sank into a
stupor and seemed hardly conscious OF
what was passing about him. Drs Stone
and Lancaster alternate now In spending
nights at the bedside tonight being DR.

consciousness the Senator will exc'aim
about his desire to live and express his
wish for a few years more life. as he
feels he is needed in the Senate

Berlin Nov. S.-The entire German press
fetefs editorially this evening to a report
that United States Ambassador White, on
Saturdsy. handed the new American note
regarding the Chinese settlement to Baron
Won RiChthofen. secretary for foreign af-
fairs, all the papers declaring that Ger
many refused TO comply with the demands
therein formulated.
When Mr.. White was approached on the
subject this evening he replied that no
Interview with Baron Won Richthofen on
saturday was had. nor had he then re-
ceived the American note. He asserted
he had received nothing from Washing
ton since Thursday last, and that what
he received then was not a note. but
merely instructions, in consequence o..
which he had an interview with the sec
retary for foreign affairs on Friday.
Mr.. White reiterated that the result OF
the Friday interview was satisfactory,
adding:
1T was merely an interchange of views.
in which no definite propositions were
submitted. and 10 definite enga gements
entered upon. What was said was in the
nature of a suggestion looking toward
greater moderation in the punishments,
but this was only suggestion, which
Germany could either accept or reject
It was rot a formal proposition"
The Vossische Zeitung says: "a de-
nand for more moderation in the punish
ments is a sensible demand. which Ger
many could accept without any loss OF
dignity. especially as II appears that

much damage for a distance of about
thirty miles in embankments being wash
