WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Cor respondent.


The Fifty seventh Congress.
after expending 81, ,5S4,1
514 has expired. The Senate
of the 58th Congress, persu-
ant to the call OF the Presi.-
dent, has convened in special
session, Uut up to this time
no business session OF the
new Senate has beeen held, a :
side from the one on the 9Th,
when only the organization
was perfected. There was the
most sincere regret expressed
90 both sides of the cha NJ Der
at the retirement Of Senator
Vest who has served with
brilliancv for 80 many years.
PrOportionate pleasure was,
however, felt by the Demo-
Gratis at the return Of Arthur
Pue German, OF Maryland.
1Soon after the reorganiza-
ton OF the Senate the demo-
Gratis held a caucus and elec-
ted Senator German chair
man, thus restoring him to
his old place as leader of the
party in the Senate. No poll
cy has yet been adopted with
regard to the pending trea-
ties, thai remaining for the
determination Of the demo-
cratic steering committee.
The republican steering com
mittee has held a meeting at
which it was determined to
press the Panama canal trea
ty first. This course is adop-
ted with the hope OF firing
out Senator Morgan who per
slsts in his opposition to the
treaty as negotiated. Sera-
tor, German has been credits
ed With opposition to both
treaties by certain newspa-
pers, but when seen bv yonr
correspondent Mr.. German
said:
There is no ground 70 r

published with regard to my
attitude toward the treaties.

: before l express an opinion
|, in regard to its provisions al
though | am willing to ad-
nit that from a superficial
view I am inclined to favor
it,"
Senator Vest, when seen by
your correspondent after ad
, |journment said:
1T is impossible to predict
J the future with accuracy but
this much may be said. If the
present prosperity continues
there will he no possibility O
democratic success, in the
next presidential election
The republicans will attrib
ute the prosperity to thell
stand pat policy with regard
to the Dlngley tariff and the

has been no legislation at the
pa g t session of Congress
which enraged the trusts. no
legislation which will prove
seriously harmful to their
ends and ambitions. 1t has
been largely a play to t h e
galleries. However, with such
legislation on the statutes,
the trusts would infinitely
prefer that their administra
tion should be intrusted to
the republicans rather tnan
to the democrats.
1t is generally anticipated
that the leadership OF Mr..
German will prove more ag-
gressive and pI oppressive than
that of Senator Jones W h o
has just retired. Mr.. Jones
positionn has, in the main,
been one of passive Iesis.
tance, and no brilliant poll.
cies have been conceived or
executed under his guidance.
Senator German is counting
on considerable assistance
from Senator Stone, OF Miss
souri,, who also fayors Wig
orous policy. While Senator
Cafmack was elected secreta>
~ OF the caucus, it is expect
ed that Mr.. Stone will be the
real coadjutor of the Senator
from Maryland when active
operation in the Senate are
begun.
There is genuine anxiety on
both sides of the Senate with
regard to Senator MOrgan's
opposition to the Panama
canal treaty. 1t is feared that
the old gentIeman-he is 70
years old-will permit his
mental vigor to overstrain
his physical strength in bis eli
forts to defeat the purpose OF
the Senate. Night sessions
will not be held Immediately,
it being the present purpose
of the republicans to tire out
the venerable Alabamian
with a continued series OF
five hour session, at which,
unless his colleagues come to
his rescue, he will be COMPEL
ed to speak continuously. If
tie democrats determine to
help Mr.. Morgan both trea-
ties can be defeated as it will
be impossible for the republi.
cans to maintain a quorum
for a protracted session.
An instance of the careless
methods of legislation purs,l
ed by Congress is furnished
by two discoveries just made
in the immigration bill. En-
tirely unwittingly this ] a "
has been made to apply to
all of the insular possessions
Of the United States proper.
It will thus interfere with the
War department, the PhiliD>
pine Commission, etc. Anoth
er error,w hich may not have
been made 80 unwittingly, is
the failure to provide any
penalty for the violation a
gainet the infraction OF the
provision prohibiting the sale
of liquor in the national cap
itol. The law went into effect
, on the 3rd of March but nc
order has been issued to the
I capitol restauranteur to stop
, the sale of liquor.

appropriation bills of the

formation from the War Depart
ment to the effect that the Missis-
sippi National Guard will not be
ordered into annual encampment
this year. No reason is assigned,
or at least General Henry fails to
intimate the cause, and the State
Guard will be greatly disappoint-

Yesterday a demure young miss

Yesterday demure young miss
perpetrated serious trick npon
the bandmen. She innocently took
her STAND close by the musicians
at the foot of the parade grounds,
and just as they began playing
the first music, as the troops were
marching onto the ground. the
young lady took q fresh lemon
her pocket aud began sucking the
juice from it. First the chief mu-
sician's cornet began to go weak
then another similar instrument
gave out, then a trombone, then
the BIB base horn went musicless,
then the baritone. and finally the
picooIo stopped. The band boys
were mad as hatters, but of course
they couldn't express themselves
to the young woman. She evident
ly did not know that the sucking
of lemon will cause the mouths
OF onlOokers to water, and that no
musicians can play when the saliva
lie running. But the bandmaster on
this occasion made the boys turn
their backs to the girl with the
fluffy waist, and thereafter the
music went on like summer
dream. Mobile Register.

The New Pope.

The assembled cardinals of the
Roman Catholic church, at Nati-
can, on Tuesday elected Cardinal
Joseph Sarto as the new Pope, on
the seventh ballot. Sarto was born
AZ Vienice, Italy in 1885. and his
life has been chiefly that Of par
ish priest. He has ever been hon
ored for purity of character mod
est traits and liberality of speech
and principle. He is said To pos
sesss the conciliatory policy of the
late Leo. and his election is par
ticularly acceptable to Germany,
France and Italy, on account of
his abstension from affairs of
state, while the whole world in
dorses the choice with acclaims of
approval.
The newly elected Pope at once
assumed the title of Plus Y. and
his coronation will probably occur
next Sunday.

A Berlin official states that out
of 1000 girls who played the piano
before the age of IL years, he
found 600 GASES of nervous dis
eases, whereas out of the same
mum Der of children who did not
play the instrument he found but
100 cases. The author of these ex-
periments states that the piano
should never be used by a child
before the age of IL years. and only
two hours day at the msximum.
If the distinguished physician had
made experiments among those
poor unfortunates who never play
the piano but are forced to listen
day and night to those who are en-
deavorine to learn to play he would
find about 500 out of every 1000
afflicted with nervous diseases.

Washington, Aug. 4

If the recent frequent race
trou bles, with consequences in the
same line, do not diminish the ne
gro population of Indiana and Ill
inois by the autumn of 1904 there
will be at least 10000 negro voters
in the former and $4,000 in the
latter State. Naturally there has
been an awakening of curious in
terest among Southerners here in
the possible effect of all the bloody
thrusting home of the negro ques-
ton upon these Northern States.
Today a prominent Indiana
Democrat. who does not wish his
name used, made the following in
teresting statement here:
You would be surprised to
know that there is likelihood of
the negro vote in Indiana and Ill
inois, which has been assured to
the Republicans by President
Roosevelt's course, being offset by
the loss OF the white Republican
vote. That is, however, a fact,
arising out of the existing race
prejudice in those States.
mo one could have failed to
observe the state public sentiment
against the co.ored race in Indi-
and and illinois | am afraid it is
growing worse every day, and no
one knows where it will stop. Now
We are beginning to observe sen
timent among me whites, on the
| political phase of the situation
similar TO that of the Southern
ers
The Republican party is being
looked upon as the party of The
negro, and is being deserted by
white Republicans who share thu
race prejudice That feeling is es
pecia.ly noticeable in the small
towns, and crops out in the munic
| ipal elections. 1t is question how
far that feeling will extend, but i
is growing and will have it's weight
In the future elections.
The Republican managers, il
order To recognize the negro vote
place negro candidates on thu
tickets for minor offices. That re
suits in hue and cry from tn,
Democrats that it is the negro
ticket, and local pressure il
brought to bear to keep men from
voting it who are known to enter
tain feeling on the race question.
MY statement may be received
with incredulity in the North, bu
nothing is impossible in com
munity where the race feeling i
so strong that a caterer from
neigh boring town employed t,
serve banquet is forbidden t,
bring his negro walters in for on
night, and the walters are driver
out of town with actula violence.

Until very few years ago the
English did not take kindly to
American fruits and vegetables,
but now il seems they cannot get
enough, and pay the very highest
prices for them During the last
year England bought ten million
dollars worth of our fruits, and the
prospect is that they will take even
more this year Only a few days
ago a ship load of California
peaches went to London, arriving
in fine condition, and they brought
better prices than did the fruit
from any other country, being of
superior quality. A few carloads
of Oklahoma peaches are now on
the way across the ocean and others
are to follow at stated intervals.
