CAPITAL CHAT.
A Little Comparison Of Guber-
material Salaries.
Plans for Annual Dinner Of Bowdoin
Men in Washington.
Official D!scoura cement for Soliciting
n Private Pension Bills.

Washington, d. c., Feb 11.-(SpeciaD.
There has been some talk in Con-
gresS and out of Congress here the past
week ABOUT official salaries and Incl
dentally some comparisons have been
made that brought in the compensation
to public officials in Maine. On the
legislative appropriation bill were
carried items for the salaries of gov
errors of territories. In Arizona, for
instance, where N. o. Murphy, former
ly of Lincoln county, Me-, is governor
the pay is only $4,000 year. An eff
fort was made 10 have this increased
to $1,000 a year but it failed.
During the debate on. that item Mr..
Gaines, of Tennessee, quoted the sala-
ries paid to governors of different
states and territories. He cited the
fact that two ex-governors of Maine
We're now serving as distinguished
members of the House, after holding
the gubernatoral Office at $4,000 q
year, while the late Representative
Dingley, a man of great ability and of
great legislative reputation the country
over. had held the same office of gov
ernor at $4,000 annually. There are
governors only $500 year, Oregon
and Verment-a sum less than is
paid to hundreds of department clerks
here in Washington. New Hampshire,
Georgia, Utah. and West Virginia each
pay their governors $4,000 the same as
Maine. Delaware, South Dakota, and
Nebraska endow the gubernatorial Of
fee at $500 year; Iowa, North Caro-
lima, and North Dakota, pay $4,000 a
year.
The salary of the governor of Okla
-homa, is $500. but Sanford 3. Dole
governor of Hawaii and of Maine lin
cage receives $4,000 a year. That is
the figure paid in majority of the
states, although New York and Penn
sylvania pay $4,000 each annually
The tendency in later days is to pay
federal and state Officials salaries
commensurate with their responsible
ties. Meager salaries for high offices,
that entail more or less expense upon
the encumbents, constitute a bar to
poor men who must incur obligations
to men of wealth in order to live re-
specially when in office. The federal
administration has recognized that
principle in fixing the salaries of Off
Gals in the Philippines, realizing that
it is better to remove temptation by
giving adequate compensation for the
character of services rendered That
is why Gov. Taft receives $4,000 as
head of the civil government in the
Philippines. Probably he saves little,
if anything, from that salary, for the
expenses of the Office are large, and a
man of Gov. Taft's ability could earn
much more than $4,000 a year in some
other business than presiding over the
of the Filipinos and seeing
to it that there is an honest and eff
Gent administration of affairs.
AS President pro tempOre of the
Senate, Mr.. Frye has the largest mail

The ablest manager of professional
athletes in the world. Thomas O'Rourke
of New York City, writing to the pro-
prietors of Paine's Celery Compound
on January II, said:

57TH CONGRESS.
Hoar and Plat Disagree on
Philippine Question.
Former RidicuIes the Latter's State
ment and Is Sharply Answered.
Senate Gives $4,000 for Dorothy Dix
Monument at Hampden.

Washington, Feb. ia stirring de-
bate on the general Philippine question
was precipitated in the Senate, late to-
day, the principal participants being
Platt of Connecticut, and Hoar of Mas
sachusetts. Teller of Colorado, had
concluded his argument against the en-
actment of the pending Philippine tariff
bill for the day. In contrOverting some
statement he made, Platt directed the
Senate's attention to the situation in
the islands as he viewed it, maintaining
that great progress was being made by
the government in subduing the insur-
rection. He referred to the elections
for municipal officers in various cities
of the islands and to the establishment
of schools for the education of Filipino
children. Hoar ridiculed the statements
of Plat and in facetious vein advert
ed to the efforts of the American gov
Eernment to control the Filipino.
The remarks of the Massachusetts,
senator aroused Platt, who delivered a
notable speech, in the course Of which
he referred to Hoar in pretty sharp
terms. In conclusion he paid an elo-
quent tribute to the efforts of the Unit

free government to every territory
where it had control.
In his reply, Hoar delivered an in
cisive criticism of the action of the
Philippine commission, declaring that
he had been taught to judge men rather
by their actions than by their words,
and by this standard he could not judge
the Philippine commissioners with any
degree of favor.
Early in the day the Senate adopted
a joint resolution submitting constitu-
tional amendment changing the time
Of Presidential inaugurations and the
termination and commencement of
Congresses from the 4th of March to
the last Thursday of April.
At the conclusion of routine business
in the Senate, today, 40 minutes were
devoted to the direction of bills on the
calendar, exclusive of private pension
bills.
Upon the request of Hoar the Senate
proceeded to the consideration of a
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States respecting the commencement
and termination of Congress, changing
the date of the Inauguration of the
President and Vice President from
March to the last Thursday in April
at noon, the commencement and ter
minatiOn of Congress to occur at the
same time.
Stewart protested against the passage
of the resolution, but the Senate over
ruled his objection and adopted the
resolution by the necessary two-thirds
vote.
Among the other measures passed
were the following: Appropriating &c.,

Quarantined by order of Deputy Sheriff

with fellow member named McKin-
sley, has been engaged in missionary
work throughout the State. For sew
eral days past the two men had been
living at house on Cumberland street,
Portland. but returned to Shiloh, yes
terday. A few hours after his depar-
ture it was found that his companion
who had remained in Portland was suf-
fering with smallpox.
The Portland health authorities i'm
meGiately communicated with the dep
uty sheriff here. Beckett was not To-
Gated until late last evening, however,
and in the meantime it is said he had
attended the evening service at Shiloh
and mingled freely with the hundreds
of inmates there. The man was then
removed to a place some distance away
under guard, and a strict quarantine
was placed on the colony.
Where McKinsley contracted the dis
ease is not known, and as he and his
companion have Travelled about much,
it is feared that a great many persons
nave been exposed.
d.. Young of the State Board of
Health, was notified of the condition
at once and arrived at Shiloh, this
afternoon, and ordered that strict
quarantine regulations be enforced. He
will hold a conference with the Dur
nam Board of Health and arrange to
make a thorough investigation Of the
condition in the colony
Portland, Me-, Feb. 1.-THE case at
257 Cumberland street, where a Shiloh
was sick with smallpox,
proved to be the most dangerous. This
man, named McKinsley, had been sick
there for several days and one of his
fellow ShIloniteS had been sleeping with
him. This man is manned James F.
Beckett, and yesterday all the after
noon he was out and around the city,
being seen in the corridor of the City
building as late as o'clock in the af-
ternoon. When the authorities finally
concluded that McKinsley had smallpox
they began search for Beckett, but by
that time he had left for Durham, to re-
join his Shiloh colony. The officers
there were notified as soon as possible
and it is supposed that sooner or later
the Shiloh colony will he quarantined.
Today, John Flaherty and the Shiloh
missionary McKinsley have been re-
moved to the pest house.
