MIR. GAINES IS HOUSED ON THE HUNT FOR WHITE HOUSE RELICS. Has Been Done by Their Sale as Junk-WiIl Push an
 Inquiry.

[, washington, March 17.-(Specal )-One of the busiest of the closing days of the last Congress. at time when no matter how impressive a member seeks to make ] himself in the hurly burly and rush and push of men and measures he seems only to contribute to swell the bedlam, ReprS. sentative John Wesley Gaines, of the old Hermitage District, shouted reproachful things in the ears of the House things that burned for utterance and blazed in deliverance, things that were shouted in tones so loud that it seemed as though the speaker wanted them heard at the White House away up the avenue They were intended as an indignant character tzation by the loyal and daungless Ten nessean of certain carryings-on and car ryings-out that have been perpetrated in the executive mansion since the incum- bency of its present master. Yet Mr. Gaines's remarks, loud and scathing as they were did not attract the general at tention that they deserved among mem- bers.
 But there was one person in the gallery who hung upon his words with startled interest. MT. Gaines was telling of the dissertation of the sacred and once-treas- ured relics and heirlooms of the White House. of their sale and fate as old junk He told of a certain beautiful candelabra that had adorned the mansion since the days of Andrew Jackson. That had gone the way of the rest-had been sold to a junk dealer and finally landed to rest in a Washington saloon, a little grogshop in the toughest part of town.
 The young lady who heard the speech of Mir. Gaines was Miss Louise Patter- son, granddaughter of the man who had given the candelabra to President Andrew Jackson. MT. Gaines today re- ceived a letter from the young lady, in which she told, as she learned it from her father something of the history of the canAelabra. Her grandfather, Gen eral Robert Patterson of Philadelphia. presented the object to President Jack son, of whom he was a devoted friend and admirer. The candelabra originally belonged to the great Napoleon Bona parte who gave 1t to his brother, Joseph. Joseph Bonaparte, while living for time at Bordentown, N. J., gave it to General Patterson of Philadelphia.
 Miss Pattersons letter contained no comment, except to thank the Tennes- sean for his speech, and to give him the bit of history in brief, with the unique observation that she was "constitutional- ly averse to the task of imparting infor nation"
 MT. Gaines Is reused. He says he in tends to pursue the subject to the end o fixing the blame for what he considers an inexpressible outrage where it belongs He introduced a resolution calling upor Colonel Bingham for a report upon the disposal of things of value in the White House. The response to that resolution omitted any transactions during the month of January of this year. It was or the Fist day of that month that the can. delabra was bought by a kind of house hold junk-dealer, Joseph NJ. Frank, ant by him sold in little while to a saloon keeper.
