Special Correspondence.
Washington. April 9.--The tercenten-
NAL Of the FIRST settlement OF English
not to be dsresarded by the United
states government Notwithstanding the
feeling. which Is quite strong. that thu
exposil ion business has been ovcrdonc.
But the fact that all other expositona
have received government recognition
has been strongly urged by the friends
of the celebration that Is TO take place
at Hampton Roads I'm honor OF tbs
English settlement ut jamestown,
Moreover, Congress has authorized for
eign governments 10 be invited. and tho
invitations have been sent and accept
ed, and, OF course, some provision must
he made for them. While 1t IL not eX-
pected that there will be a great ex-
position, II Is believed that there will
be one Of the greatest naval displays
this country has seen, for not only Will
the fleets OF the United States be there,
but the best ships of foreign navles.
REALLY AT LAST"
The members of Congress who have
finally agreed TO support the James
town bill declare that this is really the
last time any appropriation shall be
made for celebrations OF this character.
They said the same thing when they
voted for the ST. Louis exposition ana
again when they supported an appro-
priation for Portland, Or The bill Is
not through yet and will have the
usual stormy times that beset exposi-
ton bills. but 1t Will finally pass, Con-
gress cannot slight Virginia after IL
has been generous to other states ana
other sections. But. more than the fact
of being generous or just. there are a
great many members OF Congress WHIT
believe that these expositions are bene-
fical to the country.
IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.
In spite of all the bills presented ana
speeches made In favor ~ the restric-
ton of immigration, do not expect to
see any legislation upon these lines.
The men who represent districts peo-
pied largely with foreigners viii not
support restriction because their con-
stituents want to have their relatives
and friends come to America. Men
from farming districts recognize the
necessity for more farm labor that can
only be supplied by foreigners. Meh
who represent interests where cheap
labor Is wanted I'm mines and for rail-
road building are opposed to restric-
ton. Taken altogether II seems TO me
that there are enough elements OPP
posed to the legislation to defeat IT,
PAYNE's RECOLLECTION OF WILL
SON.
Representative Payne OF New York
and Secretary Wilson were chatting to-
gether one day and the former siad:
MY first impression OF you was one
day in the house when you came down
the aisle with the lungs of an animal
which had been afflicted with pleuro-
pneumonia and made 4 speech about
the necessity of looking after beef ami
mails. ] don't know but what you We're
then trying TO make yourself secretary
OF agriculture"
II was trying to have the bureau of
animal industry established" replied
Wilson, "and ! did II. ! don't know
Of any act In my congressional life of
which am more proud"
STATEHOOD AN ISSUE
Only In few communities Is state
hood an issue, but In Kansas the Dem
ocrats are hoping TO defeat some Re-
publlcans because oklahoma may not
be admitted. They are also calculating
to win back number Of seats In Mis-
souri, on the same issue. In both these
states many people have friends ana
rela tives who have located in Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, and the bond Is
strong enough to cause a deep feeling
for the people OF the territories who are
denied admission.
THE SHOOT CASE.
There was time when senators Won
dered just what they would do when
they had to vote OH the Smoot case.
but It would seem now that they have
ceased to worry about the bridge"
for the present at least. BY the time
the senate committee on privileges and
elections Is ready To report there will
be some very pressing matters up for
consideration In the senate. with little
prospect that any attention will be
paid 10 the Smoot case this session.
There will be little chance OF it's being
acted upon during the three months
OF the short session, so that no one Is
giving much attention TO the Smoot
matter at present
TO BECOME A CONSTITUTIONAL
LAWYER.
One Of the big lawyers OF the senate.
who never gets into constitutional,
debate. says that 1t Is not very difficult
to become a constitutional lawyer In
the senate. First" he says, "a man
shuold listen to every speech made on
the Constitution and occasionally ask
a question to show that he is interest
ed. Then he should take the digest OF
opinions OF the supreme court, strlns
them together with a few comments
ask what they mean, arouse few OF
the constitutional debaters, continue to
read from the dlgests and finally cease.
leaving everybody IN profound igno-
rance as TO his own opinion OF even
what he has been talking about. After
that he can take his place In the ranks
Of the constitutional lawyers OF the
