ions regarding tbs constltutiorallty q
congress dalegatins ths power te FIX
rates to commission.
Mr.. Elkins Is rather proud OF the law
against granting rebates Ey railroads
which bears his name. This law has
been up against the supreme court OF tho
United States, and has stood the test.
and Mr.. Elkins says that any other rail-
road law that he has nything to Go with
must be framed with the sane care and
with the certainty that it will be co1asti-
tutional. He says that he is very sorry
to interfere with the sumner plans OF
any of the senator's, but he proposes to
have his committee get right down to
work and produce something that will
furnish the basis for action at the next
session of congress. There will be many
a trip spoiled by this programme, but
Mr.. Elkins says if they attend strictly
to business they may get away some
time in June. and all go fishing. Ide is
better situated than most of the senator's,
for besides having an immense mansion
in Washington that is as cool in mid
summer as cellar, 1t is only few
hours ride to his West Virginia home.

coins to jingle in their pockets. The
these pets of society, as they have been
kept constantly on the go attending
luncheons, teas. dinners. receptions, ba-
Ears and banquets. They are compelled
to endure all this society business, as it
is part of their chosen profession. The
strain on their physical system has been
great, and they welcome the present free
and easy season when they can sleep ten
hours night if necessary, and do not
have to be on parade all the time.
While the strain on their physical sys-
tenn has been great, it has not been any
thing to compare with the pull on the at
tenuated pocketbooks of quite large
portion of these young diplomats. A
great many of these young men who
wear high-sounding titles and have their
names on the diplomatic list are younger
sons who have been provided for in this
way. and who have very small allow
ances to keep up their end OF the game.
The drafts upon their slender incomes
during the last winter were so great
that some of them had to decline attend
ing fashionable bazars and fairs gotten
up ostensibly for charity. They could
uot afford to pay five dollars for rose
or $40 for chance on something simply
because some society beauty solicited
:heir contribution.
Many of these impecunious diplomats
x,ep their living places carefully con-
ccaled. They do not care to have the
fact known that they live in third-story
back hall rooms and sometimes cook
their own breakfast on spirit lamp.
In a way, the dinners and luncheons they
attended were the means of saving
mones from their board, which they
could rse in other social lines.

not hope to save anything out OF lis SAL
ary There is the mission at Ruenos
Ayres, for instance, where the compen-
sation is $4,000 year. An apartment
in hotel in that city consisting OF q
parlor and-a bedroom with bath and
board costs from $12 to SIT day in gold.
Modest dwelling houses Of nine Or ten
rooms cost 1854 to 1854 per month for
rental unfinished Maidservanes are
paid $22 to $26 month, and it takes
two of them to do as much work as one
American servant. The common bottled
beer of commerce costs one dollar per
bottle Ginger ale and mineral waters
cost 80 and 35 cents pint bottle; shoes
are $40 pair and rubber overshoes are
$3.50. A good derby hat costs $3.50;
gloves are $5.2S pair. and shirts $88 a
dozen. These prices are all in American
gold.
Secretary Hay, in recommending that
the salary of the minister to Liberia be
increased from $4,000 to $500 a. year.
stated s2eIl it costs about $4,000 for the

lily from the United States to his. post.
Flour is sold in Monrovia for $12 bar
rel; butter, one dollar pound; lard, 40

Ion. The price of wearing apparel is
fully double that in the United States
for corresponding article. In addition,
the climate is extremely unhealthy, and
the constant attendance of physician
is needed. The present minister during

eminent abroad and to leave the salaries
of most of the positions at the same fig
ure that was paid half a century ago
has had the effect of keeping really capa-
BILE men out of the service unless they
are possessed of private incomes that
will enable them to live comfortably at
their post.
The more important diplomatic posi-
lions, such as that of ambassador, are
so attractive that really great me1a are
ready to accept them, but only when
they have private fortune to maintain
the dignity and style which are repaired
to put the United States on par with
other countries in diplomatic circles. At
all the important posts in Europe the
cost of living is at least twice the amount
of the salaries paid by this government
The compensation of United States
ambassador is S17,50O a year. Hon.
Whitelaw Reid, who will go to London
as ambassador will pay twice that
amount in the rental of an embassy
building. He is very wealthy, and will
not begrude the expenditure of 5000
or $3.50, 900 year to make good show
ing as the ambassador of the United
States. He is already we'll known in
court circles, and King Edward Is very
fond of him. This means that he will
take very prominent position in all
sorts of official entertaining, ana will
suffer no disparagement when compared
with other ambassadors.
In Paris, in Berlin and in st. Peters
burg the American ambassador who de-
sires to keep up appearances ard do
credit to his government in social way
has to spend $50. 1000 to 100000 year. A
poor man cannot afford to accept one
of these posts. In the case of ministers
there is SO difference, as they do not rank
quite so high as ambassadors and not
so much is expected of them in the way
of magnificent entertaining.

runs along unchanged. The members Of
| the cabinet who will remain at their
posts are all doing their daily stunts Of
| eight hours work. but they have relaxed
to a great extent the dignity that at
times hedges them about. They are all
thorough democrats. with the possible
exception of Mr.. Hitchcock, secretary Of
the interior, who at all times adheres to
| the niceties of etiquette and carries him
self more like an aristocrat than any OF
his colleagues.
Secretary of War Taft is the poo bah
of the government. Just now he is act
ing president, acting secretary of state
and secretary of war. He is also to
some extent governor general OF the
Philippines, and comes pretty near oc-
cupying the same position with regard
to the Panama canal strip. He is in
tensely glad that the exacting social sea-
son of Washington is over and he can do
pretty much as he pleases. He dresses
comfortably and not in formal style,
and is on the streets a great deal. He
walks home to his luncheon from his
office, and in the evening is found stroll
ing about the streets. Secretary Morton
is enjoying the same freedom. and he
and his friend Taft frequently take lit
tie excursions together on horseback or
on foot through the outlying portions of
the city.
Postmaster General Cortelyou is dem
ocratic enough to take his luncheon in a
dairy lunch room, where he mingles
with chiefs of divisions and clerks from
his own and other departments. He has
buckled down to real hard work, and is
running every branch of his big depart
ment. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
is as unconventional as an old farmer
these days, while Attorney General
Moody takes frequent horseback rides,
and is usually found in the evenings at
his home, dressed in easy smoking
jacket with pair of cid slippers on his
feet
