GOODNESS BETWEEN
KNOX AND CULLOM

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1l.-There is
GOODNESS between Senators Knox and
Cullom, ordinarily two of the most ge-
NAL of statesmen and farthest remov-
ed from personal feelings. Senator
Cullom IS aggrieved
II appears that Mr. Cullom, as the
senator from Illinois and the only man
left in congress when Lincoln was
president. was especially anxious TO
be the author OF a measure which
should make the birthday OF Lincoln
a national holiday. He wanted il pass
ed before Feb. II, the centennial an
niversary. and IT was going swim

tor Knox got interested in IL.
