There is a grim humor in the announce ment that Senator Depew has become chief director in the "Washington Cap ital Cemetery" organized and incorpor ated since November 8. After the cata- clysm on that date he said he was glad to be out of politics." and when asked what he intended to do?' replied, I'm going to work like h-l.''
 Said a wag: If the senator were to hury all the dead politicians, he would need much more than the 100 acres the cemetery comprises. '

CarIcnturIsts to StrIxfe

Paris, December 17.--(Special )- With the desire to obtain higher prices for their work, 70 of the most notable caricaturists and comic artists in France propose to strike. If they full fill their threat the important comic papers will assume serious mood for lack of contributions in the way of funny drawings. The famous salon of laughter which is held In the Champs Ulysses every year will also be se- riously affected if the comic men with hold their work. So many artists have been enlisted under the leadership of Mime. Willette and Leandre. that in the event of strike two of the most pop ular weekly comic papers, would be greatly handicapped. The dispute owes It's origin to the formation of a CO., operative society. Although the comic artists have had more than ordinary success, owing to the advertisement given to them by their annual exhi- bition In the Salon of Laughter, they are striving further to improve theis positoin.

LITTLE WILL BE
 DONE BY CONGRESS Before the Recess for Holidays
 Is Taken IBACON'S GOOD RECORD Is Now Serving His Fifteenth Year in | the Senate From Georgia-Other Notes From National l Capitol
BACoN's GOOD RECORD
Fly RALPH M. HITEsIDE

Washington December 17.-(Special.)- With only few more days left before
 the holiday adjournment it can pretty safely be said that little will be done
 at the last session of the Sixty-first
 Congress than routine work. Little be-
 sides the appropriation bills will be at- tempted.
 Interest centers largely in the organi-
 ga tion of the Sixty-second Congress The
 anticipated opposition to Champ Clarke
 for speaker has apparanetly died away
 and the Missourian seems certain to
 succeed Uncle Joe Cannon.
 In the Senate the situation Is not so
 clear. There is talk that in order to pre-
 vent a deadlock in the Rhode Island
 legislature Senator Aldrich may recon
 slider his determination to retire, In which case the republican situation would be much simplifed Otherwise
 the mantle of leadership so far as the regulars are concerned, will probably fall
 on the shoulders of Senator Boise Pen rose of Pennsylvania. The insurgents
 are pretty much all leaders.
 The democrat most favorably consid- cred for the Senate leadership to succeed Senator Money is Senator Augustus Oc- tavius Bacon of Georgia.
 The Georgia senator is now serving his 18th year in the Senate, and has a cred ftable record. There is no member of the Senate who is more constant in his attendance upon the deliberations of the upper body, and he has strong support for the place. Senator Shrively of Indiana Is also
 being spoken of for the honor. By vir-
 tue of the fact that the Indianan is now the vice chairman of the caucus, 1t is
 claimed that he should step into the va
 cancy. It is urged against him, and
 that his selection would shatter the hard
 and fast rule of seniority
 While it has been reported that Sem
 ator Bailey Of Texas is candidate for
 the position, it can be stated on the best authority that he would not accept the position if the caucus elected him.
