Senator Hale has received many
compliments from Maine people here
for the excellent manner in which he
managed to secure the passage by
Senate and House of the Maine claim
for sl3i 900 on account of Civil War in
terest. The item while fully warranted,
could easily have failed in conference
and would have been compelled to wait
for six months more till one of the
regular appropriation bills became eff
fective. Senator Hale had the matter
in charge from it's inception and his ex-
cellent handling of it will ensure the
pa yment of the money into the treas
ury at Augusta six months, and per-
hapS a year earlier than otherwise
might have been the case.
Senator Fryes grandson, Mr.. Wallace

the privilege of the floor of both Senate

This is because he is Senator Frye's
private secretary. Ordinarily the
private secretaries of Senators do not
have that privilege but as Senator Frye
is now acting vice-president. his priv
ate secretary has all the privileges of a

The rules of the House specifically state
that the secretaries of 81 the President
and the vice-president shall have the
privilege Of the floor, which privilege is
eagerly coveted.
