Spain is hoping for great things from
her new prime minister, Senior Francis
co Silvela. and she seems to have good
reason for so doing. The statesman
who for the second time is succeeding
the lamented Sagasta in the premier
ship is y man of decidedly uncommon
character and gifts. 1t is true that
Senior Silvela. when first chosen to di-
rect the national destinies. held office
only for a short time, but that was less
his fault than the fault of the times.
He became prime minister just when
the whole country was tineling with
shame over its defeat at the hands OF
America and over the cession of the
Philippines, and few men could have
satisfied the demands of all the con-
tending factions.
Now, however, the situation in Spain
is quite evidently on the mend. and
Senior Silvela has almost everything in
his favor. A man of marked talents,

of bed. The firm supplying him was
often late, and the president frequently
had finished his breakfast before he
had a glance at the papers. Smith did
not know this when he made his at
tempt at the White House business,
but he thought he might sell few pa
pers there if he rushed up on his bicy-
Gle from the train, beating the other
fellows to the presidents house"
His first customers were the police
men and doorkeepers. The president
noticed that these employees were
reading their papers long before his
arrived, and he asked how they OBJ
tanned them so early.
"Smithy brings them," said one of
the policemen.
''Well, Smithy will bring me some,
TOO" said President Mckinley, and he
ordered the disbursing officer to trans
fer a portion of the White House list to
Smithy. He was soon established at
the White House as newsboy and has
been delivering most of the papers
there ever since. Without any infiu-
ence or pull he secured this important
customer simply by beating the other
fellows"

William Smith, President Roosevelt's

ness and one of the busiest hustlers at
the national capital. He is on the high
road to fortune, being one of the most
successful newsdealers in Washington.
Smith became the presidential news
boy in the early days of the Mckinley
administration. Before his advent the
morning papers from New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore were served by
a news agency. Mr.. Mckinley liked to

New Senator From Washington Once
Drove Pack Trains In Idaho.

New Senator From Washington Once
Drove Pack Trains In Idaho.
Levi Ankeny, the new senator from
the state of Washington, is the son Of
a farmer and is the richest man in the
state. 1t is said that his elevation to
the United States senate is due to the
ambitions of Mrs. Ankeny, daughter
of J. w. Nesmith, who represented
Oregon in the senate in early days.
The new senator first saw the light
on farm near St Joseph, Mo-, fifty
eight years ago. Six years later he
crossed the plains with his parents,
who took up a land claim in Oregon.
His father, Captain 4. p. Ankeny, soon
embarked in the steamboat business
on the Columbia river, while Levi and
his brother ran pack trains to the Fra
ser river and conducted the Wells Far
go express route from Portland to Lew
iston, Ida.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Ankeny
went to Wallawalla and established
the First National bank there. At pres
ent he is president of six national
BANKS those at Wallawalla, CoIfax,
Dayton and Waitsburg, WASH; Pendle-
ton and Baker City i'll Oregon. In ad-
dition he operates n number of large
stock ranches and wheat farms. His
holdings in agricultural and grazing
lands in Washington and Oregon ag-
gregate 100000 acres. Last year he har

Representative NIudd of Maryland
has frequently been in conflict with
the other members of his delegation
over the question of patronage.
"At last l have succeeded in placing
two men without receiving protests
from every other member of the delega-
tion," declared Mr.. Mudd recently.
"Who are they? Charles Carroll of
Carrollton and John Hanson. two of
Maryland's most distinguished sons

co until 1886, when he became trustee
of the estate of the late William Shar
on, formerly United States senator
from Nevada. Mr. Newlands removed
to Reno, New, and has since been
prominently identified with the inter-
ests of the state. He has been for
years one of the leading authorities up
on the subject of irrigation and an ad-
vocate of measures providing for gov
ernmental systems of irrigation in the
arid regions of the west.

In 1867 he married the oldest daughter
of the late Senator NeSmith.
In appearance Washington's new SEN
ator is simple and farmerlike. He has
never held public office, excepting one
term as mayor of Lewiston. Ida, and
one term as city councilman of Walla-
walla, his home. Probably no citizen
is better posted on Washington's va
ried resources and needs. Mr.. Ankeny
has always been n Republican. He sue
