WONDERFUL
DEVELOP
Ex-GoV. McMILLIN TELLS OF THE
PHOSPHATE FIELDS IN
HICKMAN.

No production of Tennessee bids fair
to become so profitable to the State as
the phosphate deposits in Hickman
County, according to ex-Gov. Benton
McMillin, who returned from trip Of
inspection of phosphate fields in Hick-
man County Sunday. On previous trips
Gov. McMillin said he had had frequent
occasion TO view the phosphate deposits
in casual way, but that he had never
been able to see it that a fair idea of
the wonder of this production could be
conceived. The phosphate in Hickman
County, he said, was of the highest
grade Of blue phosphate, the best to be
found anywhere, describing it as it is
found in great quantities ia fields that
hereto were not known to be possessed
of any extraordinary value.
1t was said by Gov. McMillin that
during the short time since the discovery
of the blue phosphate in Hickman
County wonderful development had
taken place, not only in the fields where
the mineral is mined, but in the sur
rounding country as well. He explain
ed that this mineral was useful and
valuable in so many ways that the de-
maud for it was constantly increasing,
and that it was only a matter of short
time before the demand would be equal
to the production.
The Ex-Governor is personally inter
ested in some phosphate ards in Hick-
man County, and is much engrossed in
5he enterprise. He was enthusiastic in
speaking of the phosphate lands to a
number Of friends Sunday night, pro-
nouncing it decidedly one TO the most
important resources of the State with
great possibilities.
"You would be surprised to sees that
country" said the Ex-Governor, ad-
dressing a friend who was familiar with
the country few years ago. You
would scarcely recognize it. All along
the line of the phosphate mines can be

industry. Quite number OF plants
are in operation on the lover swan
Creek and when the railroad, now be-
ing constructed up Swan Greek basin
from where the creek empties into the
Duck River, is completed, it will open
up new field said to be equally as
rich in blue phosphate and at present
very little developed. AS soon as this
railroad is completed large number
of plants will be constructed slcng the
line of it.
The phosphate will be the making OF
Hickman County. 1t is of a quality and
to be found in quantity that is hardly
equalled anywhere Additional to the
interest Of the natural formation, is the
interesting process of mining the phos-
phste and grinding il. The shipping
facilities are being much improved, and
there is every reason to expect that
this section OF the State will soon have
National reputation.

are making such vigorous effort to have
defeated. Tariff and Reciprocity have
been put to sleep before the time but the
question of regulating the currency is as
insistent as ever. There are the Chinese
exclusion laws, which must be modified
if we are to be spared a cruel and unjust
war later on, and If we are to have our
share of trade with that country. There
are the harbors of Hawaii to be provided
for and forts for their defense if we are to
persist in the Chinese exclusion laws;
Hawaii, Alaska and Porto Rico are clam
oring for rights and privileges of our cit
liens if they are to be amenable to our
laws. Immigration and the Merchant
marine are other subjects for debate and
legislation, and dozen other subjects of
scarcely less importance are demanding
attention just at this time when Congress
is standing with watch in hand impatient
for nothing but the day for adjournment.
*x*
The ever present question in courts of
social precedence has broken out in a
malignant form in Washington For
years the supreme Court and the Diplo-
matte corps have struggled and debated
the problem of which should have the
preference in the White House and once
the Speaker of the House, homely Uncle
Joe, became unuianageable when some
one tried to precede him to the President,
but all of these squabbles sink into insig
ni6cance in the presence of the one which
now threatens to disrupt the social organ
ization. A week or so ago the Baroness
Hengelmuller, wife of the Austrian Am
bassador, announced that she would be
patroness for culinary exhibition to be
given for the benefit of the San Francisco
sufferers, but which was in reality an ex-
hibition of the sufferings that the society
chefs infict upon their patrons. The
chef of the Austrian Embassy was the
real instigator of the exhibition and it
soon developed that he had not kow towed
to the Dean of the Embassy Chef corps.
Several chefs in Washington had been in
the service longer than he and the inso-
lence of one of his standing thus bring
ing himself into prominence was not to be
tolerated by the others and has resulted
in the passing of resolutions and the
formation of societies all looking toward
the recall and ignominious disgrace of the
Austrian chef. The affair, it should be
said, was, SO far as cooking was concern
ed, distinct triumph.

From being an experiment in 1897. the
rural free delivery system has grown to
such proportions in this country that it
may now be considered a permanent
fixture in American institutions. The
demand for the service from all sections
is so insistent that each year the appro-
priation by Congress is increased, until it
has reached the enormous sum of $780,.
600. 900. The appropriation in 1897 was
$4,000. Of the $1,000 petitions which
have been fled for routes the government
has been compelled to reject, or defer to
a future time, 1900 applications, the
remainder having been granted.

Tillman, Bailey and other democrats in
the Senate are bitter in their denuncia-
ton Of the President for his change of at
titude in the Rate Bill fight, Senator Bal
ley sigmatizing him as "quitter," when
victory was almost in sight. The Presi-
dent is accused of breaking faith with
his democratic allies who were lending
their assistance to secure the passage of
the Hepburn bill, as the members of his
own party were SO cowed by railroad and
other corporate influences that they were
afraid to make square fight upon the
question. 1t is charged that the President
secretly agreed with certain of the repub-
lican corporation henchmen to accept
amendments to the bill not to the liking
of its democratic champions, and break
has occurred.
In place of the Presidents reply being
one of his Characteristic straight from the
shoulder denials, it takes pretty much
the form of hedge, his statement being
ia effect that his democratic allies assum.
ed too much. Notwithstanding the peo-
pie we're with the President in bis fight
for genuine rate legislation, it now looks
very like something had cooled his en-.
thusiasm and that he would accept a
make-shift compromise, surrenderiue
completely to the leaders of his party,
who are arryed almost solidly against the
measure. as it is inimical to corporate
interests.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

One of the unlocked for results of the
Railroad rate bill that will soon pass the
Senate is the decline of power of Senator
Alrich, the Corporation representative in
the Senate The Senator from Rhode
Island has long been leader of his party
in the Senate and his influence in that
capacity has been practically unlimited.
In the rate bill, though. he appears to
have met his Waterloo, and it is doubtful
if he ever regains the strength he has lost
by that measure. No other Senator has
worked so hard for the defeat of the bill
or been SO active in efforts to nullify the
effect of any legislation on that subject
that might be enacted. He met his first
defeat though, in the committee which
had charge of the bill. In order to delay
and possibly strangle the measure he
fought to have it made over in the com.
mittee, but he was opposed by both Re-
publicans and Democrats, and as is we'll
known the bill was reported to the Senate
without amendments. His next tactics
were to prolong discussion of the bill, to
indefinitely delay action and to so con-
fuse the issue that vote could not be
reached this session. Forced at last to
submit to the naming of date for the
vote he organized bis forces for fight on
the amendments and in this he has been
defeated at every point. He has fought
persistently the Lodge proposal to place
Interstate pipe lines under the Interstate
Commerce Commission by making them
common carriers, and the greatest of all
his campaigns has been against the Elk
ms anne ndment to prevent railroads from
producing coal or other commodities
which they ship in competition with
other producers. When he found this
last measure could not be defeated openly
he essayed to kill it by having it referred
back to the Committee that it might be
reported as a new bill. In all of these
and in his opposition to the anti-pass
provision he has met unequivocal defeat
and it is predicted that the passage of the
bill will prove the end of his great power
in the Senate. The rate bill has in fact
been the cause of some startling changes
10 the Senate. Senator German who
has been the leader of the Democrats up
to this winter, has been i'll and the lead
ership has passed to Senator Bailey, who
has more than proved his right to the
position. Senator German, who is above
all things the friend of the corporations,
has not passed on these preferences to
Senator Bailey and the party under him
will fight for far different ideals. Senator
Allison whose name is used in connec.
ton with the compromise amendment
which he repudiates has also been absent
from the Senate all winter on account of
illness and it is not likely that he will
ever he restored to the power which he
had previously held in the party. With
Senator Aldrich also dethroned the lead
ership must fall into new hands aud there
is much speculation as to the reorganiza
ton of both parties. Without doubt
there will be many chages and the in.
PRODUCTION of new blood means the pass
ing away of old time methods and the
introduction of newer, and it may reason
ably be predicted, better ideals and
attitudes.

The sentiment in the House in regard
to the rate bill is practically unanimous
in favor of its passage and even the
drastic amendment of Senator Elkins
adopted in the Senate that coal carrying
roads shall not be permitted TO own and
operate coal mines will not be opposed in
the House. 1t is probable that no objec.
tons will be made to the judicial review
amendment accepted by the President
and the Senators and there is every rea-
son to predict that the bill will pass the
House with rush and be signed by the
President within month. The discus
sion and the paramount importance of
the regulation of rates has for time
eclipsed all other issues but there are
several weighty matters which Congress
this session should consider. Once the
rate bill is out of the way the Senate will
take up the statehood bill again. 1t is
rumored that strenuous efforts will be
made to have the bill carried over to the
short session but if this is prevented it is
probable that some sort of a compromise
will be agreed upon.
But there are other questions before
Congress which if brought to vote this
session would find that body in session
well into next winter. There is the Phil
ippine tariff for instance, which at the
beginning of the session was called a
vital issue" aud which is by now prac-
tically ignored. There is the denatured
alcohol bill which the House passed by a
large majority aud which the Standard
Oil Trust and the wood alcohol industry
