SPORTS.
SENATOR MARITIME
GROWS SATIRICAL
New Jersey Man Has Fun at the
Expense of Lodge Desk
Amendment.

The suggestion that there should be
prepared a history OF the desks in the
United States Senate Chamber afforded
topic for a speech of mingled humor
and satire at the opening OF the Sem
ate yesterday. The suggestion is en-
bodied in an amendment to the legisla-
tive bill appropriating $500 for the work
of preparing a history.
To the amusement OF the Senate
MARITIME said he had tried to picture the
profound interest which future genera
tons would take in the reading of the
incidents and events of history, of the
gallant charge OF Mad Anthony Wayne.

of emotion they will read OF our inter

sipid will all these be in comparison
with the thrill they will experience
when they come to read the history OF

MARITIME said the Greeks and Romans

ferring to the fact that Senator Lodge

Senator MARITIME said that he had been
informed by the Capitol carpenter that
the Senate desks told the story OF our
advancing civilization. In the oIden DAYS
they bore the rude carvings wrought by
the jaCk-knives OF statesmen. Now they
shine with polish and luster. With great
respect for the distinguished and Gull
tured gentleman from Massachusetts"
Senator MARITIME said he would be
obliged to vote against the proposition
to compile a history OF the Senatorial
desks.
Senator Lodge, in reply to what he
termed the delightfully."- humorous and
satirical remarks OF the Senator from
New Jersey. said the idea was simply
to have a silver plate upon each desk
bearing the names OF the Senators who
had occupied 1t. Many of them had
come over from the old Senate and were
OF much historical interest, not that he
or the Senator from New Jersey might
have occupied them. but because such
men as Clay and Webster and Calhoun
had occupied them. he thought there
might be interest in having them prop
