WASHINGTON LETTER
[speclal Correspondence. ]

Especial correspondence
/ There has been some criticism of the
fact that Senator Mason's speech in the
last session Of congress praising the
purity Of American champagne has
been sent all over the country by en-
terprisng wine manufacturers under
Senator Mason's frank, thus securing
ment without the payment of postage.

etor Mason the other day, II have no
apology to lnake. 1t Is true that certain
American grape growers and wine
makers tool; the speech and printed 1t,
just as political party prints and cir
culates a political speech. They went
to the public printer, paid him for
printing the speech and for the envel-
opes, paid for having the addresses
written and then mailed the speech as

In the senate friendships are not linz
tied by party lines. Some Of the strong
est personal attachments exist between
men of exactly opposite political views
Senator Bacon Of Georgia. who might
be termed hard shell Democrat, has
many warm friends on the Republican
side, while Senator Aldrich. one of the
most prominent leaders among the Re
publicans, has very close personal rela-
rtions with the older Democratic mem
beers. Senator Proctor, the rock ribbed
Republican from Vermont. has great
attachment for Senator Mallory. an ex-
IRENE southerncr from Florida. Mr.
Mallory served in the Confederate ar
my and in the Confederate navy; Sena-
tor Proctor was Il colonel and served on
the staff of Major General Badly
Smith in the Union army. This makes
no difference, however, and 1t Is very
common thing for eX-Confcderates and
ex-Tederals to be found in the house
and senate the most intimate of friends

Tiny Printing.

A Flemish artist has produced what
Is said to be the smallest painting in
the world. lyF3s a picture of a miller
mounting the stairs of his mill and
carrying a sack of grain on his back.
The mill is depicted as standing. on a
terrace. Close ut hanl are horse and
cart, with a few groups Of peasants
idling In tbs road near by. All this Is
painted on the smooth side of grain
of ordinary white corn. Those. who
have seen it are loud in their praise
of it. Though it is drawn with perfect
accuracy, it is necessary to examine
1t under a microscope. It does not
cover half inch square and is in MANY
respects one of the most remarkable
art products Of the day.

that the selection Of brick will keep a
large amount OF the money to be expended
on the structure at home. wickham's bid

The Blast Furnace strike.

PITTSBURG, June 2.-The blast fur mace operators of the Shenango and Mahoning valleys feel confident that the strike of furnace workers inaugu- rated yesterday morning is practically defeated. The operators say ten of the thirty furnaces are working and claim to have new men ready to take the places of all strikers. No effort was made to extend the strike to the Pitts burg district. Reports to the furnace owners say four furnaces of the Ma tional Steel company at Youngstown and three at New Castle of the same company are operating; also one of the Sharon Steel company at Sharon and two of the w. F. Snyder company at Sharpsville. Twenty of the other fur naces in the valleys are banked. The strike leaders claim that most of the valley furnaces are closed down.

The Rev Father Traynor is com pleting arrangements for the purchase of an organ for St MichaePs church.
 There was large audience present at the sacred concert which was given i'll Carriers hall last night for the bene- fit of the organ fund of St MichaeFs church. NThe program was of a de- fghtful nature and was thoroughly ap- preciated by the audience
 A school meeting will be held to-mor- TOW night at 8 o'clock in the school building to take action upon recon mendatiOn of the board of education to the district committee. The board recommends that two new rooms shall be built, that the ceilings of the old rooms shall be raised and that the school shall be supplied with run hing water. The meeting will no doubt be largely attended.
 There should be added to the petition of the residents of this place for fire protection a demand for police protec- tion. Perhaps the latter would be more desirable than the former The actions of a number of rowdy youths last night at the Carter building was disgraceful A sacred concert was being held in the hall and the audi ence was greatly disturbed by the rowdy actions of the boys who are old enough to know better.
 There was fire this morning in the house on Maple street occupied by Hugh Byrnes and owned by D. B. Sprague. About 9:3O man was pass ing by the house and he saw smoke pouring out of the windows. Some children were playing in the yard They said that there was no fire but the man burst open the door and rushed in. One of the rooms was con- pletely ablaze. A bucket brigade was quickly organized and they did admir- able service. The fire was extin- guished in remarkably quick item. Two rooms and the furniture in them were badly burned.

The tunnel is 21 feet high and IS feet 10 inches wide, and it carries off 4,600 cubic feet of water every second, and when the new wheel pit is running it will carry off 90,OOO cubic feet per second.

of Burning Buildings.
 NEW YORK, June 2.-Max Kasten, thirty-two years old, and Mrs. Lydia McKrow, the same age, lost their lives in a fire early yesterday which swept away many buildings at Rockaway Beach Thomas s. McKrow and his fve-year-old son Frank, Martin Han son, twenty eight and Morris Hanson, seventy-one, were injured and taken to a hospital in Long Island City. Sev- eral hours later the McKrow boy died and the father was reported to be dy ing. A fourth victims remains were found in the ruins of the Kasten hotel.
 The fire started infthe frame dwell ing occupied by the kastens. In a short time it spread to an unoccu- pied brick building and then in success sion leveled the following structures: The Colonnade hotel, the Casino, Wal ter's hotel, Burns hotel, the Annex hotel, the Mousette hotel, Kasten's ho- tel, Peterson's hotel, Sagamore hotel and the Seaside avenue museum.
 Other structures damaged were Harry Genette's store, Herr Bros.' store, the Morrison stables and Bren- nan s nOJel.
 The buildings for the most part were of the usual frame type such as are seen at seaside resorts, and the loss is estimated at about $120,O0O.
 That the death list and the list of the injured were not many times greater was that Memorial day, Saturday and Sunday coming together made it neces- sary to assign fifty bicycle policemen to extra duty. These men were all asleep in the station, two blocks from the fire, when the alarm was turned in. When the alarm sounded, the sergeant turned out all the men he had in the house. The policemen leaped on their wheels and were soon s.t the fire. They went through the hotels, bursting in doors and dragging the suddenly awakened inmates out without waiting for them to dress.
 The fire appears to have started in the kitchen of Kasten's hotel, prob ably from the explosion of a gasoline stove or from a pot of candy boiling over. The fire leaves but little of the seaside portion of Rockaway Beach,
