as they could ask. Maj. McCauley, per-
formed the introductions and he got Cd
swimmingly until he came to three Japa-
nese tackles, whose names stuck in his
throat. He stumbled over the first one,
but he caught himself on the second,
slurring the words which could have

president waited till they had passed

ly asked Nc auley to repeat the names
which the versatile major domo was

It is not true, as is so often asserted,
that a great proportion of the sailors
aboard American men Of war are for
eigners, but there are enough of them to
make an interesting collection. When
the Illinois was in Swedish waters King
Oscar came aboard, and was very much
struck with the fine appearance Of the
marine guardsWhich was lined up to re-
ceive him. Onefellow in the front rank
was especially conspicuous and soldier
like, and the king singled him out for at
tention. where were you born?" he
asked as he passed by. "Sveden!" was
the prompt reply in Scandinavian &C
cent. The king enjoyed 1t immensely;
but not so the officers of the ship. There
after pains where taken to have no.
body but native born marines in the
front rank.

for furnished houses of the better class
is something extraordinary and that
they cannot begin to meet it. Only a
few weeks ago Gen. Corbin was notified
that he was to leave Washington and go
to Governors island. The order ap-
peared on the bulletin one afternoon;
and that same day Gen. and Mrs. Corbin,
passing a real estate Office, stepped In
and placed their house, furnished, in the
hands of the real estate dealer for rent.
They had barely reached home before
the real estate man called upon the
telephone to say that the house was
leased at $4,000 year. He had dozen
applications on his books for just such
a place which he could not satisfy. This,
too, in spite of the fact that half dozen
swell apartment houses have opened up
in the fashionable section in the past IL
months.
A man of means can live in Washing
ton more reasonably in winter than he
can in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
or Chicago, and he can get great deal
more for his money.

liar form of improvement first came into
vogue. 1t is a serious question whether
the government has not paid enough
for paint to have rebuilt the entire old
section in marble if it had been so dis
posed.
Sometime congress is going to appro-
pirate enough money to give marble
facing to the east and west walls of the
old center building, extending them out
at the same time so as materially to
increase the space available for various
purposes. It is reckoned that such an
improvement would cost between ST.
100000 and 100000, and with it would
go the decoration of the interior of the
rotunda, so as to make the space under
the great dome one of the architectural
beauties of the world. That will not be
done this winter; because congress will
try to make record for economy; but
it is coming sure as fate.
A fine model of the capitol as it will be
is now on exhibition in one of the COM
mittee rooms. In the meantime the
grotesque practice of annually applying
tons of white paint will be continued.

country saying that he is the one who
ought to be nominated by the next demo-
cratic national convention for president.
Especially as he halls from the Empire
state. which many believe will be pivotal
in the elections next year.
After all, it may depend on the kind
of record he makes during the first six
months of the term as mayor, so it is i'm
possible to say yet whether his prestige
will continue until nomination day or
not
Whether Mcclellan has presidential
stuff or not, he is going to be missed in
the house. He is such a likeable fellow
that he has fully as many personal
friends among republicans as among
those Of his own party, and it has some
times seemed as though he would be
more congenially placed in the repub-
lican side of the aisle.
He is boyish, genial, an entertaining
talker. and possessed of quiet humor
which appeals to his political opponents,
many of whom have come to know him
personally outside of his political posi-
ton.
To tell the truth, Mcclellan has never
''focked" with the members of his own
party to any great extent. He has been
in a minority of one on good many
questions; but where the democratic
minority has been divided into so many
smaller minorities, perhaps that is not
SO very much of distinction.
Mcclellan has been member of the
ways and means committee, the other
democratic members of which have
rarely acted together of late years, and
he has been fond of styling himself hu-
morously, 'The Mcclellan democracy"
He Is so young-considerable under 40
that the older heads in the party may
doubt the wisdom Of putting him forward
for the presidency; but he will be talked
of a great deal just the same, and he
will surely be marked man during
the short official session which will
signalize the close of his congressional
career.
Young as he is, he is just about the age
his father was when the little general
commanded the union armies in the civil
war, and not far from his fathers age
when the latter ran for president in
1864 on the platform that 'The war is a
failure"

He was in command of confederate
troops in Missouri while McClellan's ia
Their was commanding the union armies

1t is related of Cockrell that during

across the range fields of Missouri, and
he refused to wear shoes or socks be-
cause so many of his men had to go with
out them.
The old confederates of his state love

Crockrell looks like the caricatures
Of Uncle Sam. He dresses with just
about as much regard to style as his

take him to be Sam, crabid, snaling and
altogether unlovely, and yet the old man
lis down at the bottom one of the most
tender hearted and kindly of men.
He has been watchdog in the senate
for great many years. The appropria-
ton that passes his scrutiny may be
said to have clean bill of health, for
he scans the items in the supply bills as
jealousy as miser counts his money.
Nobody remembers when he first be-
came member of the appropriations
committee. Whenever the democrats
control the senate he Is the appropria-
lions chairman.
