THEY ARE AT PEACE.
AL Rancor Between Cannon and
Hepburn Wiped Out.
Iowa Man VIII He Republican Floor
Leader and Speakers Personal
Representative - Old
Wounds Healed.

The prediction that Mr.. Hepburn, of
Iowa. would be the floor leader of the
republicans second In importance to Mr.
Payne, Of New York, who secured his
position by right Of his seniority. was
fulfilled, the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat says that those who saw some of the
stormy scenes of the last two sessions
Of the congress and noted the bitter war
fare waged between Messrs. Hepburn
and Cannon were astonished at the
scene on the opening day of the session,
when the deep-voiced Iowan rose in his
place to nominate Mr. Cannon for
speaker. All OF the bitterness and
rancor and keen rivalry between the
two men had apparently been wiped
out.
1t was done during the past summer.
So effectually was it done and so sincere
are the two men in their reconciliation
that Mr.. Hepburn is acknowledged to
be the choice Of Mr.. Cannon and his per-
sonal representative Oh the floor Of
the house. Close to him in importance
in this relation will be Representative
Hemenway, of Indiana Mr. Hemenway
will occupy a commanding position as
head of the committee on appropria-
lions. He is not, however, gifted with
that peculiar ability as a parliamentar-
ian that Mr.. Hepburn possesses. Neither
IL he possessed of SO sharp tongue as
the experienced Iowan commands. As
the representative of the speaker and
the champion Of his policy and wishes
on the floor Of the house. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Hepburn will be entirely able
minority can bring forward. For year
previous to the last summer just closed,
Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Hepburn did not
speak, even though they brushed past
each other In the house aisles and cap
itol corridors. Mr.. Cannon wanted q
man Of Just the qualities possessed by
Mr.. Hepburn as his floor representative.
He let friends Of Mr.. Hepburn know 1t,
and at the same time let 1t be known
that he was ready to smoke the pipe OF
peace. When the two men met In Chica-
60, through an arrangement made by

HERR RICHARD STRAUSS.
Now Conducting His Own Music
In This Country.

Richard Strauss. the most talked
about, most abused and most praised
composer of the present day, is said to
be more interested in his coming Amer
lean tour for his wife's sake than for
his own. She is going along to sing her
husbands intricate songs. Frau Pauline
was his discovery" from a musical
point of view, and he expects still great
er things Of her in the future than she
has even hitherto accomplished.
The composer of .Guntram." "Till Eu-
lenspiegel" and SO many other puzzling
combinations of pure beauty and hide
GUS noise is not yet 40 years old, and his
romantic marriage with Frau Strauss
took place ten years ago. She was his
little singing pupil at the age of Is, and
married the musician much against the
will of her father, a general in the Ba-
varian army and a man of high social
rank as well. Frau Strauss now sings
nothing in public but her husbands

their way up through service in the
Office at London, or in minor places
in legations. Sir Julian Pauncefote.
when he came to Washington, had
never held a real diplomatic post In his
life. He had grown gray as an under
secretary in the foreign ONCE and was
strictly an ONCE man.. Sir Michael
Herbert likewise, although he had
served as secretary of legation both In
Washington and Paris. had spent
years in the foreign ONCE; and he had
never served even as minister before
he came to Washington as an ambas-
sador.
Sir Mortimer Durand. on the other
hand, has had a strictly diplomatic
career of the strenuous sort. He has
trained his mind and sharpened his
wits by conflict with the machiavellian
intellects OF the Orient, and Washing
ton is by far the most civilized post
that has ever fallen to his lot.
Sir Mortimer comes from a family
that has been in the Indian service for
generations. and that doubtless ac-
counts for the bent of his mind. His
training will stand him in good stead
In Washington now, for questions af-
fecting oriental countries are coming
more and more to the front In Ameri-
can diplomacy.

The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1904-01-29

in the civil war, and was afterwards
provisional governor Of Mississippi in
the reconstruction period and United
States senator from that state.
Young Ames has just q shade OF re-
semblance to his grandfather. and he
has the old generals faculty for at
taching friends to himself. Young as
he is he has . record in which he
ought to take q good deal Of pride. He
was q lieutenant in the Massachusetts,
militia when the war with Spain broke
out. He went to the front with his
regiment and came out of the Porto
Rico campaign . lieutenant colonel.
Then he went home and served three
years in the legislature, and now he is
in congress.
When Ames was stationed at Camp
Alger early in the spring of 1898 he
was engineer officer Of the camp. and
in the course of his duties he had a
good many scraps. owing to the fact
that, though merely lieutenant, he
sometimes had to give directions to
officers of regiments of much higher
rank. One of his troubles as with Rep
resentative Dick, who was lieutenant
colonel of an Ohio regiment. The two
had not met since till the opening day
4 congress. when they happened to sit
side by side In the street car leaving
the capitol. They matched pennies for
:he fare and made ny for good.
