negro in the South. Mr. Bowers
was heartily congratulated by bis
colleagues on the floor OF the House.
who gave him generous applause
the speech and the clos
est attention. IL has been remark |
ed here that the state Of Mississippi
has sent an exceptionally strong
70 this Congress, among
est members Of which may be men
toned the Hon. John Sharp Williams,
the ablest man in leadership OF the
minority since the days OF Crisp and
Sam Randall. the Hon. Eaton J.
Bowers, the Hon. Adam NJ bTyd,
and the Hon. Wilson Shedrick Hill.
Factors in the democratic presi-
Dental equation Is still an active
subject Of comment here among the
so-called leaders OF the party IN
Washington. Two ofthe things that
have caused the wagging OF tongues
this week and last, have been the
decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court that compels the coal
barons TO answer the questions put
70 them by the Interstate Commerce
Commission In the suit brought by
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst. IL
was a famous victory for Mr.. Hearst
and has been regarded here as u
victory for the people over the yici
Gus and arrogant methods OF the
coal trust. II has made him many
friends who hitherto have been either
lukewarm toward his presidential
ambitions or openly opposed to him.
They have begun TO believe In q man
who does things In the interest OF
the people, and who started in TO do
it 10 the most unselfish manner
without regard 70 any reward TO
himself except that which can come
TO a man conscience for having
done a good and a generous thing.
Another thing that has helped along
the Hearst candidacy this past
week has been the letter of Grover
Cleveland endorsing Judge Parker
and his candidacy. Many good de-
mocrats here utterly repudiate any
man endorsed by Grover Cleveland
the man, they claim, who wrecked
the democratic party in 1896. They
refuse TO support any man who IS
supported by Grover Cleveland, and
as the fight has been narrowed
down to Hearst and Parker, they
must take sides and they are taking
the Hearst end Of the game. From
some of the talk i have heard here
Judge Parker would have a good
cause for action against Cleveland
for damages for writing that letter.
He certainly has alienated many
men who would have support Parker
who will not support Hearst.
They will go home from Congress
and actively do SO in the primaries,
as the Congress is likely to adjourn
by the first of May. Hearst stock
has gone up perceptibly since the
Cleveland endorsement Of Judge
Parker.
The Eastern Press Bureau of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition has
been advised that Traffic Manager
Hilleary reports as follows regard
from the East 10 the World s FAIR:
On May IL the Baltimore & Ohio, in
connection with the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern r. r., will have

connection with the Chesapeake d

Orders have been issued for the
organization at the Marine Barracks
in this city of a marine guard of two
companies for duty at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at st. Louis.
Major James Z. Mahoney will COM
mand the guard, and the other Off

position for about a month and give
daily concerts.
Inasmuch as Congress is likely
TO adjourn about the time the Ex-
position opens, il seems as though
the majority of the members of Con-
gress will 60 home by way of st.
Louis and take q view Of the FIX
position before going to their res
pective homes.
There is much interest manifest
ed here in the big show.
III young men and women who de-
sire TO see the World s Fair and have

Worlds Fair Press Bureau, they
will get a pointer as TO how they
can do some work and get through
the Worlds Fair and see all of il at
no cost 20 themselves.
This is something that all young
