INTEREST IN COMPLEXION

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE outlook
for the next senate is absorbing the at
tention of politicians in Washington and
newspaper correspondents have for the
past week or two been sending various
dispatches relating to the complexion Of
the senate to their respective papers. The
concensus of opinion seems to be that
there will be little change in the upper

sition in the senate controlled 80 seats as

GREAT COAL STRIKE IS
IN HANDS OF THE COURT
BIG HOWL is RAISED
THROUGHOUT GERMANY
FOR FOREIGN MEATS

BERLIN. Sept. 2T.-It is noticeably hard
for America 10 realize the extent of the
German meat famine. Suppose New York
and Pennsylvania, for instance. were de-
MED the right TO buy meat from any 9TH
er part of the union the situation might
be paralleled.
The conditions which are preventing the
workingman of Germany from buying
meat. OF forcing him to eat horse meat
or even the flesh of animals. usually re-
garded as obnoxious to human taste, are
almost wholly artificial.
The government has formed certain reg
ulations which practically exclude foreign
meat. while the home supply is absurdly
insufficient TO our demand. While German
cattle owners are making enormous prof
its from the great increase In meat prices,
the poor are virtually debarred from the
markets, and beef. mutton and pork are
becoming Iuxuries of the well-to-do.
Even the army is being made TO share in
the general hardship. and IL is proposed TO
give less meat than heretofore to the Ger
man soldier. From all parts OF Germany
protests are going up TO the government
against the exclusion Of foreign meat and
the social demands are already made the
leading issue Of their party.

DRINKING WATER IS
SELDOM SEEN
IN LONDON
AMERICANS WHO ASK FOR 1T ARE
OBLIGED WITH WINE CARD
AND THE WALTERS
CONTEMPT.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Americans who
dine in London restaurants continue to
complain that drinking water is hardly
ever to be seen on the tables. while de-
mands for it provoke only an exhibition
of the walters contempt.
One of them writes as follows to a Lon
don newspaper:
Last night l dined at a we'll known
West End restaurant. 1 asked for some
water repeatedly. No notice was taken
of my request. Finally, when all the
other diners had got interested in my de-
mands for water, the head waiter came
up. and eventually bottle of water and
some glasses were placed upon the table.
This has been my experience all over
London. The conclusion to my mind is
that only men with nerve enough to
stand against the walters contempt can
get served with water in restaurants in
this city Anybody who doesn't care to
drink wine at meals and who has had
the experience of having a wine card
showed in his face every time he sat down
to a meal in London car appreciate this
outburst. l have never seen water fur
nished to a patron of a London restau-
rant without his asking for it,

ENGLAND EXPORTS COAL

LONDON. Sept. 25.-"The American de-

BY HENDERS0N'S ACT
IOWA TO GET BENEFIT

WASHINGTON. Sept. H-SpeasSer Hen
derson's retirement from the campaign is
now regarded by some of the Republican
leaders as an advantage in that 1t clears
up the political situation. The Iowa Re-
publicans say that ut viii prove that the
Republicans of that state are not tariff
reformers and not out of harmony with
President Roosevelt or the administra-
ton or the Republican leaders who are
supporting the president.
The presidents speech at Logansport,
Ind, the day the operation was perform
ed, has made clear to all that there will
be no extra session of congress as has
been spread broadcast by some special
correspondents. The presidents idea is
that the tariff question should be taken
from politics and treated as a business
matter. This view of the matter has met
with the approval of the Republican lead
ers and 1t is believed that this will be
solution of the matter.
Said a leader today:
mfr. Roosevelt has some very good
ideas. radically different from many of
the presidents, but this is a progressive
age and think we can expect great
things from him. His idea for solution
Of the trust question, Is In my opinion,
the one which will solve this all important
problem. Then again his plan as 10 the
tariff is one which viii meet with the ap-
proval of all thinking people. His idea
is to take 1t from politics and make II
a business proposition. 1t surely is the
correct way to look at the matter.

LORD DUDLEYs INCOME WILL BE
GREATLY INCREASED BY
THE LATE DIS
cOVERY.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Lord Dudley who
has just entered upon his duties as vice
roy of Ireland. has no need to trouble
his head about the lavish expenditure
which is incumbent upon the kings rep
resentative in Ireland. IT is now stated
that the new coal field which has been
discovered upon Lord Dudley's Stafford
shire estate Is destined TO become one
of the richest mines in the neighborhood.
1t is estimated that during the next
eighty years IT will be capable of yielding
some 1900 tons of coal per diem.
According to the latest returns availa-
BILE Stamordshirc coal is worth about
shillings ($175) a ton, so that the total
yearly value of his lordship's new acqui-
sition will amount to 500 pounds ($5S2.-

royalties. etc, have been accounted for
there will be left a profit of near 10000
pounds 10000. a substantial increase to
Lord Dudley's already princely revenues,
ard just twice as much as he will receive

SENATOR HARRIS IS
CALLED AN ASS
BY EDWARDS
KANSAS SENATOR is BRANDED
LONG cared MULE BY SEC
RETARY CHARLES A.
EDWARDS.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. 27.-Sena-
tor Harris, Democrat, of Kansas, mas
caused considerable wrath in the Demo-
cratic congressional headquarters by giv-
ing out an interview in which he said:
Il think the Democrats will not achieve
substantial victory if the next house Is
Democratic, because they will be playing
into the hands of the Republicans. l, for
one. will not be moved to profound regret
if the Democrats do not carry the cleo
ton"
Charles A. Edwards, secretary of the
committee, made a warm reply to Sena-
tor Harris. saying
ANY Democrat who says the Demo-
Gratis should not carry the next house
OF representatives, because of divided
responsibility from a legislative stand
point, is an ass. I am sick of such state
ments appearing periodically from Demo-
Gratis in different parts of the country,
and especially from Democrats, princi-
palIy. members of the senate, who usually
have no sympathy with the house.
''These Democrats with an angle worm
backbone evidently have read the political
history of this country to little purpose.
They do not know that no party ever
elected a person in this country that did
not elect the house of representatives two
years previously. If the Democrats win
this house they will have the opportuni-
ty to appoint investigation committees
that will take an honest look at the books
and investigate something. The result
will drive enough honest Republicans
into the Democratic party in 1904
IF the Democrats win this house and
the presidential election of 1904 should
be so close it would have to be thrown
into the house for decision, we would
have the counting machinery, and there
would be no eight to seven business.
aside from all these purely political
considerations, any Democrat who says
we ought not to win the house, thereby
getting into the winning habit, for the
reason that he is afraid the Democracy
might do something that would lose the
confidence of the country and endanger
success in 1904 practically admits that
the party has not enough sense to be in
trusted with power at any time, and,
therefore, he is an ass"
