PAYS TRIBUTE TO COCKREIL
Senator warner ExtoIs the Services
of His Predecessor.

of His Predecessor.
In addressing the Missouri Society at
Pythian Temple last night, Senator VIII
liam Warner, Of that State. took occasion
to pay a graceful compliment to the man
whom he succeeded. Senator Francis NJ.
CoekreII. now a member OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, After a reference
to Senators Thomas H. Benton. the ora
tor, and George @. Vest, the Little
Giant. he said:
NO man ever left the public service
more deeply regretted than that grand
old man. Francis NJ. CockrelL His thirty
years in the Senate of the United States
was marked by a conscientious devotion
TO duty, and in retiring he carried with
him the friendship and regard of the eiti-
zens Of his State regardless of party.
AS his successor. it shall be my en-
deayor TO act in the interests of the citi-
zens of the whole State. and not from a
partisan standpoint. TO Missourians the
latch string IS always out.
Senator Warner spoke of the natural
resources of his State, saying that with
its mining. timber properties. and water
ways, il was regarded as the Pennsyi-
vania OF the West Senator Warner was
introduced by the president OF the So
ciety, G. A Leavitt
A vocal solo was given By Miss Edith
Stowell, followed by a piano recital by
Miss Elizabeth Winston. iames Whit
comb Riley's story OF the goblins was re-
cited by Miss Anita Ofterdinger. and an
original song, Missouri Is Good Enough
for Me- was sung by the composer. W.

CLERKS PAY NOT AFFECTED.
Reduction I'm Geological Survey Hits
Scientists nnd Experts Only.

The reduction OF $4,000 in the appropria-
tion for typographical work by the Geo.
logical Survey has neeessitated a cut in
the salaries OF number Of scientists and
experts. but the salary of the clerks was
not affected thereby. Reductions were
made in the salaries Of sixteen men. as
follows; Four geographers. nine topog-
raphers, three assistant topograhpers. al
reduced in salary. and fve tOpographers
and assistant topographers dismissed.
Congress at the last session only appro-
priated SS00O00 instead of the asked-fOr
S350. 900, and Mr.. WalcOtt, former Director
of the Survey, at once set to work to de-
wise ways and means 10 apply this sum in
such manner as to reduce the expenses
where the cut is least felt. and at the
same time to render as much work as
possible with the means at hand. a COM
mittee of three was appointed to recon-
mend a readjustment of the wage scale,
and every one Of these three members
recommended 10 have their own salaries
reduced. The reduction IN salary affects
but four classes. ranging from S2.oe0 TO
81 .000 The biggest cut, 5000 is a Teduc-
ton Of 10 2-3 per cent.
Il is learned that another reduction Ia
/ the force, not In salaries, will be an
nUunced from the Survey in the near fu-
/ ture. This reduction is necessitated by a
similar reduction OF $4,000 in the amount
allowed for the work of another branch
Of the Survey. In this case. as In the
/ geographical work, the pay of the clerks
viii not be decreased In any manner
D whatsoever.

Reticenee About Political Situation.

Thomas F. Ryan. the New York fnan-
cier, passed through Washington yester-
day on his way TO Ok Ridge, Va,
where he has country place. He did not
see the President or any other government
Official.
Il do not expect to see the President,
said Mr.. Ryan, for there is nothing more
that l can do affecting the problems now
confronting the administration. mean,
OF course, the railroad situation. The rail-
roads are really owned by the people. and
not by Wall street brokers. They should
be taken cut Of Wall street. and the stock
quotation tiekers should be taken out Of
the railroad Offices.
THE practical railroad men should be
in absolute control Of the roads. They
should welcome every opportunity to con
fer with the President aiding him IN his
efforts to reach a solution that will be
fair and just to the country and TO the
corporations, and insure obedience to the
law. One Of the worst features OF the
present situation Is that every money
center in the world is finding use for its
capital in the promotion Of home indus
tries.
while I think We have enough money
10 take care OF the legitimate business of
the country. I do not believe, unless we
can draw very heavily upon European
money centers. that there Is enough to
carry on an active stock speculation in
Wall street. ] think Il is the duty of the
money lenders 10 frown upon any undue
speculative movement In any direction.
They should husband their resources
and be prepared to furnish legitimate
business with the necessary capital and
the money necessary TO move the tre-
mendous crops that we are likely 70 have
this year
Regarding the political situation. Mr..
Ryan was inclined to be taciturn, but
said;
Il feel that the South holds the power
to dominate Democratic party policies.
Mr.. Roosevelt viii name the next Repub-
lican candidate and viii dictate the Re
publican platform OF 1893. This response
bility he cannot escape. whether he de-
sires to or no"
