Special Correspondence.

Washington, Mch. SO.-Two members
Of the house have OF late
been addressing meetings of labor
men here and have advised them to
take an active part In the political
contests Of the year. OF course these
gatherings are held for the influence
they may have in the states, for there
is no voting done in Washington, and If
there were such a privilege here n CON
test would not amount to a great deal.
But both of the great national labor
organizations have their headquarters
here, and from this point their litera-
ture is sent to all parts OF the United
States. The other night Representa-
tive McDermott of Chicago and Rep
resentative Cary of Milwaukee made
speeches to the labor people in which
they We're advised to assert their pow
er in the coming contest. They We're
told that II they did not arouse a gem
raj interest in behalf of the working
classes the capitalists would continue
to get all they asked of Congress and
the toilers would be left, as usual.
ANTAGONISTS PULL TOGETHER.
BY the way. both McDernott and
Cary are members of the Telegraphers'
union. They hold their cards and lose
no opportunity to let 1t be known that
they still maintain a keen interest in
everything that affects that and kin
dred organizations McDermott is
Democrat and Cary is a Republican,
but that does not keep them from pull
ing together when It comes to work.
ing for the cause of labor. They have
taken pains to show that they are OPP
posed TO Secy. Taft.
DEPEW STANDS BY FINANCIER.
Senator Depew not only came to life
recently, as heretofore noted IN these
dispatches. but he made a second
speech, and although he read It from
the manuscript, it was a powerful one
from the standpoint taken by him The
New Yorker doesn't like the way GER
tain people have been jumping on Sec
rotary Cortelyou for arranging with j.
Pierpont Morgan, John ID. Rockefeller
and other folks who can count their
millions by the several hundred to keep
the country from going to eternal
smash, so he just got right up in
the upper branch of Congress and said
so The interesting part of the pro-
ceeding was that while Depew was
giving a history of how the credit OF
the nation was saved j. Pierpont Nor
gan was sitting in the gallery reserved
for the select and heard every word
from New York to listen to the state
ments about how he and John D, man
aged to have seventy millions of hoard
ed money come out OF it's hiding place
and get right into circulation instead of
being disiiugred from rust.
AN AMUSING COINCIDENCE.
Mr. Iatta, one of the assistant Sec
retalies to President Roosevelt. usually

was concluding his sensational state
ment regarding that Ohio postmaster
appointment at Athens and In which he
claimed vigorously that the president
had been bringing pressure to bear In
behalf OF the candidacy of Secy Taft
for the highest Office within the gift of
the American people. Just then Vice
President Fairbanks tapped on his desk
and requested the senator TO yield the
floor to receive message from the
president. An official Of the senate
standing by Latta called out IN llud
pompous tones "A message from tn
president of the United States, and
made his customary bow. Latta got Off
his little piece, and as the interruption
to Foraker's speech was occasloned by
a White House communication Latta
could not help joining in the laughter

Senator Foraker smiled.
