COURTNEY Beevllle, Texas June l.

Battery Dan" Finn.

Battery DAN Finn is a guest at the
Fairfax. He is not SO well known in
Washington as he is in New York, where
he is a power in Democratic circles, and
where his authority, locally, is pretty
nearly supreme.
Battery Dan" is a sobriquet, for the
gentleman should in reality be styled
Judge Finn, on account of his place on
the bench of one of the municipal courts.
The judge has enough of the brogue OF
Erin left to remove all doubt as to his
nativity. He is full OF good humor, tells
a capital story, and is as good compan
ion as he is clever in politics.
Il am living among the same people
and in the same locality in New York, q"
he said to Times reporter, "as where
landed fifty years Ggo. | was a Democrat
ic member of the Legislature for nine
years. and all the places ever held came
from the people.
Politics is a queer business. but there
is a fascination in the life, and it is hard
to let 90 of once you get started that
way. | expect to see Democrat elected
President in 1901. and my guess is that his
name will be David b. Hill. He is today
the leader of his party in New York, and
is fitness to lead is not disputed. The
democracy can unite upon him as it can
upon no other, and, united, it is irwin
1ible"

Rhodes Estimate of Americans.

THE late Cecil Rhodes" SAID Mr.. John
Robinson, an English gentleman. whose
home is at Cape Town. South Africa. in
conversation with a. Times reporter at the
Arlington, had a high estimate Of Ameri-
cans. He admired their go-ahead dispo-
sition. cleverness and pluck, and liked
to give them employment whenever he
had the opportunity.
Il knew Mr.. Rhodes we'll. and regard
ed him as one OF the most remarkable
men Of this age. His scorn of the way
that the English army in South Africa has
been handled could not be repressed. and
he used often to refer to the poor gen.
eralship of his own countrymen.
THE worst mistake he ever made was
the Jameson raid. bit that would not
have turned out so badly had the raiders
been given the assistance that was prom
ised them. In executive ability and pow
er to put through great projects there is
not a man in the whole British Empire
that can claim to be his equal"

Dela ware and the Senate.

THE best people Of Delaware prefer
that our State shall still be without rep
resentation in the United States Senate,
rather than to have J. Edward Addicks
elected as one OF the Senator's" said Mr.
D. r. Bruce, of Wilmington, at the Ra-
leigh.
"Addicks' followers. who call them
selves Union Republicans, have made
overtures to the State committee Of reg
ular Republicans. to the end that one
Senator from each faction shall be chosen
by the Legislature. This plan will fall
through, and it viii be no surprise If Ad
dicks should undertake to make deal
with the Democrats.
He is so set on a Senatorial title that
ne is prepared to keep Delaware in its
present sta tus fer the next ten or twenty
years. rather than to fOrego his ambition.
The best sentiment of our State is bent
on thwarting his aspirations. He has re-
yealed so mu. b selfshness in his schem
ing heretofore that the mass OF the
voters, regardless Of party is heartily
tired OF him. ard his overthrow will be
hailed with joy."

SUICIDE NOW SUSPECTED.
Not Thought That Cowperthwaite Was
Victim of Foul Play.

MOUNT HOLLY. y. j., March 29.-Word
was received by Prosecutor Atkins this
morning which dispels the theory OF
murder in the case of Marshall Cowperth-
waite, the young man found dead in
barn on his father's farm, near Indiana
Mills, on Thursday.
At first it was thought he had been
drugged and robbed. but later informa
tion tends to confirm the belief that he
committed suicide. as the authorities are
in possession OF a statement from a drug
gist at Medford, who says he sold the
young man two ounces Of laudanum the
night before his death.
Cowperthwaite is said 20 have been suf-
fering from melancholia for a week pre-
yious to his death.

Tribulations of Hotel Clerks.

sorely beset have the hotel clerks of
Washington been all this week, though
they have borne their trials with praise
worthy fortitude. The cause OF the tribu-
lations OF these worthy men has been
the unprecedented rush of visitors to the
Capital. Nothing like it was ever seen,
except during inauguration times.
All last evening weary travellers tramp
ed from one uptown hostelry to another.
seeking shelter in vain. Not a vacant
room left" got to be so monotonous as to
be maddening to the pilgrims.
The influx of people is due to the holi-
day season partly. and partly to the re-
turn OF hundreds OF Northerners, who are
homewa-d bound after a sojourn in Flor
ida and other parts of the South.

Socialists in Germany.

SoNiaiioiS Al 0eiHfdIy.
The growth of the Socialists in Ger
many is exciting the interest of those who
make a study of national politics. said
Mr.. Hugo DahIman, OF Berlin, at the
Cochran. They have been increasing il
numbers and political influence in the
past fifteen years at very rapid rate.
and in the approaching Reichstag cleo
tions it is estimated, they will poll at
least 100000 votes. This will give them
over 100 seats. the whole number of depu
ties being 39l. and as they act with great
unanimity, their influence in the Reich
stag is not to be despised.
THE Emperor is greatly disgusted at
the growth of the Socialists. He con-
siders their doctrines and aims as perni-
cious. and II there was any way to sup
press them would not hesitate to act. 1
am not in politics, but am disposed 20
sympathize with the Socialists. chiefly be-
cause l am forever opposed to monarchy
in any form. l hope to live to see the
day when the people everywhere will
choose their own rulers"

Chinese a Necessity.

TO keep the Chinese out of the Philip
pines would be much like excluding ne
groes from our Southern States said
Mr.. r. L. Judson, OF Chicago at the
Riggs.
MY observation in a six months So
iourn in the Islands was that the Chinese
are the only laborers there who amount
to anything. The white man has no dis
position to toll in that tropical climate,
the native will not except to gain the
pittance necessary to existence, and SO
the Chinaman is the only reliable working
man left. They are a necessity to the
country just as the Southern negroes are
to the cotton belt"
