President will remain here until about the

Republicans, However, Expect to
Retain Present Majority in
the House.
OPPOSITION HAS HOPES"

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-While Chair
man Babcock and his committee associates
of the Republican congressional committee
are making calculations of holding all the
seats in the House from the rural districts
and making some gains in the city terrific
ry, the Democrats promise TO be active in
particular sections of the country. Chair
man Cowherd, of the Democratic congress
sion committee, is preparing to put up
vigorous fight in several States where the
Republicans have at no time since 1896 be-
lieved they are in any danger. The Demo-
Gratis are laying great stress upon their
prospects in the States of New Jersey, Con-
necticut and West Virginia. They claim
that as these States went Democratic in
1883 and in 1892 when the tariff was
the issue. if their people can be
convinced that the silver issue
is dead. there is prospect for them turn
ing to the Democratic column or at least
so far reducing their Republican majorities
this year as TO leave some hope that the
Democrats may gain a few members. 1t
is in New Jersey and West Virginia that
the Democratic campaign managers think
they see chances for gains. At least in
these States alone do they regard the
chances as at all fiattering for Democratic
prospects in the rural communities. In
New York city and Chicago the Democrats
will make the bitterest fight possible. and
they claim that IL Parker is nominated and
Tammany and the labor vote in these cities
the Hearst people, there is a chance for
Democratic gains These are the prelim-
mary points or advantage TO which the
campaign managers will first direct their
attention.

RUMORS OF FRICTION
REFUTED 1T BERLIN
Emperor William and Chancellor
Won 3uelow Said to Be on
C. Cd Terms as Ever.

BERLIN, May 22.-There has been con-
siderable vague talk in the newspapers
representing the opposition. since the re-
cent debate in the Prussian House of
Lords. to the effect that the position of
the German imperial chancellor, Count
Won Buelew. has been shaken. but as far
as is ascertainable there is no foundation
for IL.
Several influential Agrarian leaders criti-
cised the chancellor in debate, but abso-
lutely nothing has occurred showing that
he has lost the favor of Emperor William.
Both the Emperor and Count Won Buelow
attended she wedding of Count Hulen-
burgs son yesterday at Libenburg Of
fetal business interviews are occurring as
usual BETWEEN the Emperor and the chan
cellor.
The idea of making General Budde. Prus-
sian minister of railroads. the successor of
Count Won Buelow is regarded as ridicu-
lous his political experience being conssd-
cred much too inadequate.

money gained possession of her.

Babylon some ladies for whom ne
money was likely to be offered, yet
these also were disposed Of 80 provi-

the beautiful virgins were sold. the
crier ordered the most deformed who
would marry her with a small sum.

arising from the sale Of the handsome

His Opinion of Wagner.

Augustus Thomas has a friend-a
real Kentucky Colonel of the type one
reads about in novels-who is very
fond of the lighter music, but who has
always entertained the opinion that
the music of Wagner. Bach and other
of the so-called classical con- pOsers is
mere "sound and fury signifying moth
ing" When he was expressing his
views on the subject OF Wagneriap
music it developed that he had never
heard Wagner opera. Thomas plead,
ed with him that it was hardly fair to
condemn a thing without 4 hearing,
and persuaded him to listen to Wag-
ner opera at the Metropolitan. The
Colonel went. and the next day when
Thomas met him, he asked:
