SENATOR SIMMONS HAS
GLORY THRUST UPON HIM.

The Special correspondent of the
Asheville Citizen OF Washington, writ
ing under date of Sept. Is says:
This was busy day for Senator
Summons. He was burdened with
many titles and varied duties owing
to the absence of Senator Clark,
pres dent pro tenn of the senate. Vice
President Marshall, who is also out of
the city, designated Senator Simmons
AS president pro tenn to preside over
the meeting of the senate.
In addition to this, Senator Sim
mons is chairman of the finance COM
nittee and chairman of the confer
ence between the senate and house
committee, which are adjusting the
differences in the tariff bill. 1t is
doubtful if one senator has ever be-
fore been encumbered with such a
V veriety of responsibilities and titles. I?

to do.
General HueSto said the strained di-
