DAVIS ON THE JAPANESE.

Novelist Says He Intensely Admirss
Them and Hates Them as Strongly.
Richard Harding Davis, the war cor
respondent, who recently returned TO
Philadelphia from Japan, had adven-
lures which include. five weeks ad-
vance into Manchuria, followed by
quick seven days retreat, says the
Philadelphia Press. Previous to that
there had been four months Of mark
ing time in Tokyo.
In speaking Of the Japanese war MT.
Davis said:
About the tea houses? They were
all very we'll as a novelty. But after
the first two weeks they became tire
some. The geisha girls in them are
no more than eleven or twelve years
old. They can't talk English, and we
could not talk japanese. Imagine a
lot of newspaper men being able to get
entertainment out Of such places! We
would have been much happier even
in Sioux City.
I'VE sailed to within six miles Ut
Port Arthur. Then we were told TO
look"
When asked about his war adven-
lures Mr.. Davis replied: "The less said
the better. The six months spent in
the east 1 regard as six months or my
life wasted. I was a failure. There
is not any use in denying that. But
there will be plenty Of other chances
to redeem myself.

All can say Is that I intensely ad-

believe me.

main army, and that was the nearest
we ever arrived at the front. We re-
mained four miles back Of the fighting
for four days. Then we became dis
gusted.

WHAT THE SENATE SPENDS.
Cost Of the "Greatest Deliberative Body
In the World"

In the World"
The salary Of United States sena-
tor, like that of a member Of the house
Of representatives, is $4,000, and he Is
allowed, in addition, mileage at the
rate Of 10 cents per mile each way
between his home and the Capitol for
each session of congress, a private Sc
cretary at $500 (if he Is not chairman
Of a committee, In which case he has
the appointment Of higher salaried
clerk and $125 for stationery. That
seems modest but the perquisites and
emoluments not set down In the law
are numerous and attractive, and ac-
count in no small measure for the ten
acity with which a small calibre SEN
ator holds on when once he has been
elected.
The senate is a small body, but 1t
takes a big amount of money to run
1t, as the following extracts from the
last annual appropriation bill will
show:
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1904-12-16


The total Of $1,227,S73 tells in gen.
eral way the story Of how expensive
1t is to record the doings Of 80 law
makers, and to keep them comfortable
and happy for a period Of twelve
months, but 1t is the details that are
most interesting.
In 1878 senator Of the United
States provided himself out of the
public treasury, in addition to his sal
ary, with his mileage, his $125 for sta
tionery, and one clerk, II he happened
to be the chairman Of committee.
That was practically all. In 1904 O.
United States senator would sniff at
one clerk, and declare 1t impossible to
attend to his work without two or
three. Such thing as paying for q
clerk out Of his pocket, as his prede"
cessors, up to a comparatively few
years ago, were accustomed to do,
would be regarded by the senator o.
today as a crime.

Richard Noble brought in some larg.
er specimens of his "oil rock last
week and exhibited them to his friends
about town. The rock comes from a
place about rs miles from this city
but Mr.. Noble refuses to divulge the
exact location of his expected gusher
as he and some friends, who are as.
ISOLATED with him. want to get a sure
title to the oil bearing territory and
thus be on the ground floor when the
gusher gushes. He admitted that he
had received an experts report on
the rock, and, although he also refus.
ed to give the nature of the report,
from the general manner in which he
spoke, he was evidently not at all
dissatisfied with the written opinion
of the expert. 1t is generally I'm.
derstood that a company of local men
is being formed on the q. t. and will
be in with Noble in getting posses
sion of the most likely looking land.
More specimens will be sent to the
experts and If their reports are ia
vorable. the proposition of starting in
to drilling will be considered. When
the gushers have gushed a pipe line
will be brought to Lewistown by the
company, all same Rockefeller, and
after that-the fireworks.
