MAN WITH A BIG VOICE.
Tale of Maine Member of the House
of Congress That Is Related
by Himself.

Grouped in the lobby one warm day,
taking in the light, southerly breeze,
were half dozen of the house leaders.
Then and there the "spellbinders'
trust" was formed. The coming cam
paign and the probable amount of
speaking that would be required were
discussed at length, and then the MEM
bers of the trust drifted into anec-
dotes Of the stump, says Washington
correspondence of the New York Her
aid.
Charles Littlefeld, of Maine. led off.
"Im going to tell one on myself" said
he, and soon he had a large and in
creasing audience, including pages and
doorkeepers. Mr.. Litlefeld's voice, it
must be remembered, is famous from
Seattle to Eastport. and his conStitu-
ents in Maine insist that they can
hear the rumbling when he speaks in
the house.
at was up in Buffalo in the 90 cam
paign," he continued. "a local lawyer
and had been assigned to a big meet
ing over on the tough side Of the city.
The local man, who was evidently max
ing his first campaign appearance, was
introduced first, and proceeded to
draw from his inside pocket a manu-
script, from which he started to
read.
ST was a pretty hard crowd, taken
all together. but at the same time they
were a bright lot and up to date. My
friend read on for some 20 minutes un-
der great difficulty. and then the crowd
began to cheer and shout in deriSion.
Nothing like this, however, could stop
him. All kinds Of questions were fired
at him, but he paid no attention, and
continued to read off long lists Of sta
tistics. At last the chairman of the
meeting signaled the leader of the
band to start up. The band played
Home, Sweet Home as a gentle hint,
but the speaker only waited until it
finished and then continued. At the
end of an hour of the worst rot ever
heard, my ambitious friend closed in
what he thought was a blaze Of glory:
"Three cheers for the speaker-for
fnishing!" some one yelled,
"Three cheers were given, and then
I was introduced, II was tough prop
osition, but jollied along with the
crowd for some Is minutes, and then
launched into what | thought was my
best line of talk. I finished all right,
and the chairman said had made
hit.
"In driving 20 the hotel after the
meeting the local speaker said to me:
Mr.. Littlefeld, if | only had your
voice, with what have to say. would
be a wonder"
Just then a roll call was announced,
and the trust adjourned.

At A PROFIT
Sugar Is Now Being
Made In Cuba, Says
Chairman Payne.

Washington. Feb. 13.-Chairman
Payne yesterday presented to the ways
and means committee brief submit
ted by the American beet sugar inter-
ests and indorsed by the cane sugar
interests, declaring that the recent
hearings had shown that sugar was
now being made in Cuba at profit
and asking that special committee
proceed to Cuba to investigate the
question Of cost of production, profit,
etc.
The brief sums up the hearings at
considerable length and states that II
the testimony of the government eX.
perts is correct, then the military gov
ernor of Cuba, General Wood, has
been misinformed and sugar is now
being manufactured and sold in Cuba
at profit, so that there exists no
possible justification for the reduction
of the present tariff on unrefned sugar
coming from Cuba upon the ground
that the Cuban planters are now man.

rom Warren, Niles, Sebring, Alliance,

section of the state attended the Lin
coin day banquet of the Foraker club
last night, in the Excelsior club par
lors. The two chief toasts were "The
Republican Party" by Senator For
aker, and Lincoln by Congressman
Tayler. Senator Foraker said in part:
"The past is history. 1t is replete
with great deeds and great men.
Washington, Lincoln and Mckinley
only head the list of what hundreds
of great Republicans have done to
make this country. We settled the
question Of what the constitution
meant, and other great questions un-
til this country has grown in power
and influence, and is at the head and
front of all great nations. What Is

When we come before the people we
will claim their suffrages frcsn what
Roosevelt and the Republican party
is doing today. There is the Isthmiar
canal which has been in the minds OF
American people for many years
When the Spanish-American war oc-
Cured and when We wanted to bring
the Oregon here and found We had
to bring her around Cape Horn, we
then decided that the Isthmian canal
should be built We don't need any
co-partnership to build it, either. We
got rid of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
and 1t was abrogated on my motion
in the senate of the United States
and the canal will be American from
end to end, with American capital
and operated on payment of such tolls
as we see fit to impose. Before
congress adjourns we will be ready
to build it. We have not much idea
that anyone will come against 1t since

Columbus, Feb. Ex-Governor Nash

copy of letter he sent to a state
official who requested that his salary
be increased, omitting his name to

replying, the governor said: II am
opposed to an increase in, any salary

that nearly every officer and every de-
partment in the state government
wants to increase the expense in some
way. II all their wishes were COM
