 1.-Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas sachusetts, a prominent figure in the up- per house, who is not likely to be re- turned to that body when his term ex- pires next March.
 2-"Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the House of Representatives for many years, who wields the gavel for the last time at this session of Congress. The return of a democratic majority in the House insures the election of a democra tic speaker when the Sixty-second Congress convenes in December, 1911
 3-Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, who will bid farewell to the Senate chamber at this session. At the last election Maine elected a democratic state legislature, which will elect democrat to the Senate when MT. Hale's term expires in March.

GIovers In Washington

Washington, December 13.-George W. Glover with his daughter, Mary, and his son, George, Jr., and Dr. E. J. Foster (Eddy) are in Washington as guests of former Senator William E. Chandler, who was counsel for the next friends in litigation over the estate of the late Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy In connection with their visit MT. Chandler tonight is- sued the following statement:
 ''The relatives of Mrs. Eddy are not prepared to state opinions of Mrs Eddy's will or wills. for the reason that they have not yet seen them, and have only been told in general way by Gen. Henry M. Baker, executor. what their provis- ions are.
 Not until they see the exact language of the instruments can they form an opinion as to the interest they may have therein; whether to assent to the same or to contest. Before they have the necessary information 1t will be useless for anyone to seek opinion from them.
 Concerning the final resting place of Mrs. Eddy, they say the power to de- termine where that shall be. in the ab- sence of any instructions by will, belongs solely to her sons and will be exercised in due time and they do not anticipate any difference of opinion on the subject between them and General Baker,

 Nationaltsts 5S.
 Independent nationalists g.
 LabGrites 8G.

 There were Az pollings today, but the results in only six constituencies were announced tonight. No change was recorded in these. .
