Speaking Of Senator Longs return to
Kansas. r. H. Faxon, secretary, in his
Washington correspondence. says:
Senator Long intends to remain here
for perhaps three months. He will be
in New York and elsewhere on business

part of each week and his family will re-
main. His children are in school, his
