Grafton of the Cation Pension Bill was re-

Mr. Graveley, of Henry. offered a series
of amendments to the bill. designed to
keep all those upon the rolls placed there
by the Parks bill, directing his remarks
especially to the widows of Confederate

1t has frequently been said of late that
Iowa has attained the position in Wash
ington politically that was formerly oc-
cupied by Mane. To-day the Speaker of
the House, the Secretary Of the Treas
ury and the Secretary of Agriculture all
hail from Iowa, while Maine only has the
President pro tenn. of the Senate. Names
average is still, however, greater than
that of Iowa, for while older she is small
err Maine was admitted in 1870 and
Iowa in 1916. NeitheA State has had
President, but Maine has had Vice
President In Hannibal Hamlin. James
G.. Blaine and Thomas B. Reed were
Speakers of the House. each for three
terms. David B. Henderson, the pres
ent speaker now serving his second
term. is from Iowa William Z. Frye Of
Maine has been President pro TEN. of the
Senate since 1895. In the Supreme Court
neither State is to-day represented, but
each in the past has had an associate
justice. Matthew Clifford Of Maine sery-
ell from 1853 to 1881. and Samuel f.
Miller of Iowa, from 1862 TO 1880. In
present cabinet officers Iowa has Leslie
NJ. Shaw, Secretary OF the treasury. ana
james Wilson, Secretary Of Agriculture.
In the past, however. Maine holds the
palm in cabinet portfolios. James q.
Blaine was Secretary of State under Gar
field and headed the cabinet of Harrison
eight years later. Maine has had two
Secretaries of the Treasury, William 2.
Fessenden and Lot NJ Morrill,. Iowa
might have had one had not William b.
Allison been unwilling. Iowa has had
two Secretaries Of War. William W. Bel
knap and George w. McCrary.
James Harlan of Iowa was Secretary
Of the Interior under johnson. Horatio
King of Maine was Postmaster General
of Buchanan's reconstructed cabinet,
and Frank Hatton of Iowa occupied the
same portfolio underd President Arthur.

thought as to the cost of it. When it is
known that cable messages from Fort de
France cost S2.15 a word and urgent mes
sages $6.45 for every word, some coneep-
ton can be had of the cost of covering
this calamity. But that is not all. There
were the tugs the special men and the
ph Jtographers. All this mounts into the
but all the big papers feel
that it was worth it. and no expense was
