The difference between the United States senate and the president has directed attention to that body, says a Washington writer. Every schoolboy knows that it is composed of two sen ators from every state in the United States. Rhode Island and Nevada each send two senators and New York does not send more than two. The senators are elected for six years and they consequently hold over two years longer than the president and are eli gible to reelection as long as the state is disposed to continue them in office. Those that have been long In office, like Allison of Iowa, Hale of Maine, Platt of Connecticut and Platt of New York. have great influence on accoun' of their seniority. Others like Spoon CT, Lodge and Aldrich are infuenta by force ability. There are others like Dcpew of New York, and Beveridg'  of Indiana. Foraker of Ohio and Doli yer of Iowa who have ability but lack ing the prestige of long continued SCI vice are without the influence to which their intellectual weight entities them We have not mentioned certain south ern and other senator's ability and rr putation as ora tors and statesmen because being in the democratic mi nority they are of course always voted down. The senate is frequently out of accord with the sentiment of the country. It is now out of accord on the subject of railroad rate legislation. There are among the senators those who represent not so much their states as they do gigantic corporate interests. They were able for long time to postpone the Panama canal purchase and they will possibly be able to defeat or to so modify the Esch-Townsend bill as to render it practically nugatory.

That well known young millionaire of sporting proclivities, c. Astor Mi das, considers that he is rather eco nomical when he keeps only seven au- tomobiles, says writer in Outing. In deed, with less number, he would find himself somewhat at a loss to meet everyday requirements of trans portation and amusement. With sev- en cars-the term automobile is used only by ignorant outsiders-he can go in for racing in moderate way, and is provided with such vehic- ular conveyances as are absolutely re- quiste for the establishment of a gen tleman who spends half the year out of town, and who, disliking the rail road, prefers to travel by gasoline be- tween his country place and the city. Two of the cars are racing machines, purchased for S13,0OO and S1O,OO0 re- spectively, the latter having greater horse power. Of the others, one is light vehicle, with seats for the owner and his chauffeur, and is used for short trips in town and back. It cost $SOOO. There is an omnibus car (price $12,0OO), seating seven or eight per sons, and employed for carrying par ties to and from the country place. To these are added large touring car for seven people, worth $l5,UOO; light touring car (value $12,00W for use at odd times, and an opera car, holding four, to convey members of the family to theaters and to entertain ments. This last is covered, being in- tended particularly for cold weather. It was bought for $S,00O, making to- tai of $S4.OOO for the seven machines. This, of course, represents only the first outlay. Expenses of mainten- ance run up to about $20,OOO Il year, the chief item being for wages of number of indispensable employees. MT Midas keeps racing chauffeur, who is the head man, at $3,OO0 a year. Under him is touring chauffeur, at $2,00O per annum, and there are two assistant chauffeurs, who are skilled mechanics, at $1,SOO and $500, re- spectively. To these are added two expert cleaners and polishers, who see that the machines are always spick and span, and who receive $50 apiece month, running the payroll up to a .otal of somewhat over $10,0OO a year.

them. These names will be ensra, ed on small nickel plates. which will be at- tached to the proper desks.
 The suggestion for this work arose the other day when some one tried to locate the desk which Daniel W etsterused when a member oi the senate. None of tho senate attaches were able to identify it, although if oil Isaac Bassett, who was assistant doorkeeper of the senate for upwards of 6O years. had been alive he could have solveI the question. as he possessed the secret of the location of all the desks occupied by noted statesmen almost since the building of the capitol. One of the senate secrets is the know leige of where the desks are that Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun occupied. This secret has descended through a success sion of senate officials.
 For a long time the desk which was oc- cupied by Jefferson Davis when senator from Mississippi was not exhibited to the public During the civil war some union soldiers broke into the senate chamber and iabbed the desk full of ar- onet holes. The punctures were plugged up and nicely smcothed over but the marks of the bayoIets can be seen to this day. The old Davis desk is now used by Senator Cockrell of Missouri. There has been no change in the style of desks used for the last three-quarters of a century. Occasionally they have to be repaired and new desks have to be put in. but the same antique style is fol- loWei

Congress has finally determined i

Congress has finally determined it would seem to conduct an investiga- ton of the now famous Osage Indian oil lease. Nearly ten years ago. one Edwin B. Foster was granted with the approval of the secretary of the inter for a blanket lease covering 1900 GOO acres of land presumed to contain oil with the provision that Foster. or his heirs or assigns, pay to the Indians 10 per cent of the gross receipts for the oil extracted. In time. Foster assign cd his lease to the Indian Territory IT. luminating Oil Co and it subleased the land for various bonuses and approxi- mately per cent of the gross receipts Secretary Hitchcock denounced the Foster lease as a scandal and declared that Foster and his successors had done nothing in return for their bO- nuses and royalties. that the lease should be extended to protect the sub leases who had invested their capital in good faith. and the senator intro duced legislation providing for such extension. Now Secretary Hitchcock has declared his intention of extending the original lease on 6s0.OoO acres .to protect the vested rights of the sub lessees." hut congress is incIinsd to ask why if was necessary to extend the original lease to accomplish this end Representative Stephens of Tex as and others ask why the sub-lessees could not have been protected by making directly with them renewals of the lease they held from the assigns of Foster. thus eliminating the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Co and SC curing for the Indians the full rental valpp of their lands. The house has passed a resolution asking some very pointed questions of Secretary Hitch cock and his explanation is awaited with interest.

good society and of the delights that come to man Of his station at the capi- tai of the nation. The knowledge that he has the affection, respect and admira- tion of the whole country adds to the content of his advancing years. He has everything at his command that can con- tribute to his happiness, and only an oc- casional twinge of rheumatic gout re- minds him that he has to have dash of bitter with the sweet.
 Unlike so many sailor men, Admiral Dewey is great lover of horses, and an expert in handling them He drives one of the handsomest teams at the capital, and when he handles the reins his glow ing face indicates that he is getting as much genuine enjoyment out of the ex- ercise and sport as he ever had in direct ing the course of a vessel of war. His team are two splendid sorrels, we'll matched and gaited. The admiral al- ways drives himself, and along the su- burban roads he lets his horses out and spins along with the fastest roadsters at IAC
 The admiral is quite social lion, al- though he does not overdo the society business He does not care for any great show, but is happiest in his own home on Rhode Island avenue, which a grateful people donated to him after his famous victory at Manila bay, where he can have choice company of his own selection. He is in demand at the best houses and in the highest diplomatic and official cir cles. He is an exquisite dresser, and his taste in this line years ago gave him the reputation of being more of dilettante than of naval fighter. How false this reputation was he demonstrated to the surprise of those who had not properly measured him in his daring work in the far east at the outbreak of the Spanish war

Roosevelt spent several years as hunter and ranchman. These statues were used at the world fair, and among them are one of Andrew Jackson, by Lewis Potter; Robert Livingston, by Augustus Lukeman; James Monroe, by Julia Bracken; George Rogers Clark, by Elsie Ward; Anthony Wayne, by w.

The important feature of the gift is that the statuary will revert permanently to Washington and will be used to alorn the parks and public places. All these works of art collected in the court of history are bound to make an imposing show. and they will serve to transform this portion of Washing ton into miniature worlds fair.

Friends of Oklahoma are humbly sup plicating the all powerful speaker for mercy, but there seems to be little hope of his relenting.

The members of that august body do not men from the other house to occupy a place of apparently more proID. .aence than they do themselves. It seems to be a hard task for the senators to sit and listen to outsiders talking. They take every opportunity of breaking in with questions, some of which seem so irrel- evant as to suggest the idea that tine sen- ators wanted merely to get into the game and hear their own voices.
 In the impeachment trial the senate is just as jealous of its prerogatives as when it is acting as legislative body. The transition to high court is not al- lowed to rob the body of its dignity and self-assertiveness. If any move is made on the part of the managers of the house it is immediately questioned and the senate wants to know why it is made and what authority there is for it. The house maDarers however have nre- pared themselves for every question and emergency. When the question of prece- ue..l .s Ia.SeL ,IIe I.-aI-a-,ers are seen to go down into their inside pockets and pull out notes and manuscript that show how thoroughly they have losted them- selves on everything pertaining to an impeachment trial. Mir. Palmer, Mir. Olmsted, MT. Perkins, Mir. Powers. and the rest of the house managers have burned barrels Of mi might oil in look ing up previous impeachment trials from that of Warren Hastings down. and fortifying themselves on every pos sible point that can be brought up in dispute.

against Judge Charles Swayne, of the northern district or Florida. The senate is not overly well pleased with the duty of trying Judge Swayne on articles of Impeachment which the house thrust up- on it, and it is not disposed to make the path of the house managers any more pleasaht than possible. In Mir. Palmer, however, the head of the managers, the senate has struck pretty cold proposl- tiOn, and man on which very little inn pression can be made that does not ac- cord with his own ideas of right and wrong or propriety.
 Mir. Palmer would have been typical Cromwellian Roundhead or an old New England Puritan, were it not for kindly twinkle in his eye that relic, es an other wise austere countenance. He has a hard, square-cut face, covered with a brown beard mixed with gray, is tall, erect, somewhat angular and decidedly abrupt in his movements. He is just the sort of man that one would pick out as being very set in his opinions after they were formed, and devoted to his sense of duty. He is not awed by anybody or court. and is just as self-possessed in ad- dressing the house or in addressing the high court of impeachment composed of dignified senators as he is in his law of- fees at home in Wilkesbarre, Pa. He never gets "rattled." He never be- trays, by the slightest change of color or the Quiver of muscle, the slightest em- barrassment, but carries himself as be- ing the equal of any other man, no mat ter how high the office the latter may hold.
 MT. Palmer Is absolutely fearless, as was demonstrated nearly 30 years ago. when he conducted the cases against the notorious Molly Maguires" of the an- thracite coal regions. He convicted some of the worst characters in all that re. gioa, although his life was almost daily threatened. and for time he was marked man by this organization.
