R. Raum. former Commissioner OF Pen
sIons. There are many interesting things
TO tell Of the general, but it seems that
his remarkable memory Impressed people
with whom he came in contact more than
anything else IN the civil war he
commanded the Fifty-sixth Illinois Reg
imenf, and there are several Of the sur
vivors CT that command in the Govern
nent service.
\ Waterman says that 1t was thought
that the colonel knew every man in his
regiment by name, and could SPOT him at
any time, anywhere. IN drills the colo
Rcl would frequently take a man 10 task
ard would call his name without mo-
reent's hesitation. He certainly knew
the majority Of the men. which was
really remarkable. because al soldiers

rather big undertaking.

State have run their prices up in leaps,

temper with Judge Odlin, and said:
"The civil government wants to-

passed. 1t wants to know whether Is
will be enforced or whether such un-
warranted statements will be allowed.
The court knows the wishes of the
government, and it is to be presumed
that it knows its own rules"
Judge Odlin replied: "The court
will determine the case according ts
law. The court wants you to under
stand that individuals have rights, az
we'll as governments"
The defense had asked for delay
of a week, owing to counsel having
been disqualified on account of not

The hearing of the demurrers in the

POLITICAL FORECAST
OF the Situation at the
National Capitol
QUESTION OF SPEAKER
One of the Most Important Topics
for Other Matters
of Interest.

American satisfactin and exulta
ton have charactized sentiment in
administration circles in Washing.
ton during the past week and or
Saturday, Representatives Babcock
and Overstreet called at the White
House, they met with a reception
from the President which enthsued
every onlooker. Mr.. Roosevelt
congratulated them in the warmest
terms on the able manner in which
they conducted the campaign and
it is rumored that Mr.. Overstreet
whispered to the President that
the speakership of the House
would be an appropriate reward
for his colleagues able manage
ment of five successive campaigns.
At least, Mr.. Overstreet expressed
that opinion later to the newspa
per men in the anti-chamber.
The din of election battle had
not died away when the skimish
guns of a new contest were heard
in Washington. This contest has
for its end the speakership of the
Fifty-eighth Congress Represent
ative Dalzell of Pennsylvania has
come to Washington and annonced
his candidacy. He is known as a.
high protectionist and, in view of
the alleged Iowa detection and
the tariff revision sentiment in
certain sections of the West, he be-
lieves that the "stand pat' men
will find it to their interest to com
blne on man who is known to be
sound on the tariff question. 1t is
frankly stated around the White
House that there will be no tariff |
revision in the immediate future
and that even the Presidents
recommendation of bipartisan
tariff commission, previously out
lined in these letters, will not
mean tariff revision, but merely a
board competent to listen to com
plants and advise Congress should I
revision become necessary.
Representative Dalzell, in an
himself a candidate for
he speakership, speaks like a man
Who had heard a voice. He tells {
lis friends that he will have the Y
upport of the entire republican {
delegation from his state including
senator Quay, and this is taken to I

1T is believed would favor the Bah
cock ticket. 1t is true that Messrs.
Cannon and Hepburn always meet
at the speakers desk and embrace
at the close of each session, but
there is no reason to believe that
Mr.. Hepburn would rejoice to see
his enemy in the speakers chair
MIR. Littlefeld of Maine is also do
ing little vigorous eleectioneering.
Another important office is dis
cussed. Since President Roosevelt
is the predestined candidate for the
presidency, it is said that the vice
president must come from the west.
There are rumors that Secratarv
Shaw has aspirations in that diree-
ton. On the other hand, it is
said that the Cummins faction in
Iowa politics would oppose his
nomination. Connected with this
statement there is report from
Iowa to the effect that Speaker
Henderson will try conclusions
with Governor Cummins next
spring. General Henderson, says
the report, believes that the gub-
ernatorial nomination would be an
emphatic confirmation OF his claim
that he represents the best element
of Iowa republicanism and would
eliminate the Cummins faction
from the equation. 1t would, there
fore, pave the way for Mr.. Shaw's
and the later would
be expected to render material as
sistance to the Speakers candida
cy. Mr.. Shaw yesterday denied
any knowledge of General Hender-
sons ambition.
With the statement that the
vlce-presidency must go to the
west, there appears to come con-
viction that it will go to Iowa. In
this connection, prominent re-
publican said today that there was
a hoary-headed gentlemen in tie
senate" from that state who would
lot now object to taking second
place on the ticket and in fact who
hought he ought to be ser. .ously
considered. The time was when
senator Allison would not lave
the presidential
domination but the effective SER
ice which Vice-P President Hobart
endered to President Mckinley
nd the succession of Mr.. Roose-
cit seems to have enhanced the
opular estimate of the position.
There will be many important
hanges in the next House of Rep
esentatives. If Mr.. Cannon se-
lres the speakership the most
nportant Craftsmanship in the
lamber will be open and the gem
emen who seriously oppose his
will undoubtedly be out
