WASEMTEE WHhEEEQ

Congicssmen Elect Flocking to Their
N011 Scene of l1al101.

THANKS TO SPEAKER REED.

It Now Seems Certain That the Presid-
ing Officer of the House \Vill Receive
the Usual Congressional Cour-
tesy—~The Photograph Craze.
W'ASHINGTON, Feb. 28,—Thc town is full
of congressmen elect, who in a few days
'will begin to draw their salaries. As they
.all have the privilege of the floorthc house
.is crowded every day; now.
Peffer, who is to succeed Senator Ingalls,

 

.reached here and is attracting great at« '5
- passed:

'tention, and for the time Sockless Jerry is
.a secondary attraction. Still, Pef’fcr is not
.as much of a novelty as was Jerry . on the
first day of his arrival, nor has the ova-

enthusiastic
At this writing the chances seem to be
in favor of the passage of the sulmidy bill,

and if it does not go through the members ‘

of the lobby intend ma‘ ing matters ex-
ceedingly animated here. Still, if the bill
passes the house,there is no certainty that
it. will become a law', for it will have to go
back to the senate, and, with the short
time remaining, the opponents of the bill
will be able to talk it to death.
Courtesy “’ill Prevail.
A number of Democratic congressmen
have announced themselves during the last
,, day or two as being in favor of giving some
sort of formal thanks to Speaker Reed at
the end of the session. Two of Reed’s bit-
.terest enemies, who would be pretty sure
to make a vigorous fight against anything
of the kind, are absent and are not likely
to be here any more this season. They. are
Congressmen Enloe and Buck Kilgore.
Enloe, who has been a thorn in the side
of the speaker, has been called to his Ten-

nessee home by the death of his father. ,
Mr. Kilgore left a sick bed to go to the ;
bedside of his daughter, who is believed to f
' in view of conflicting published statements

he d3 ing. Miss Kilgore is described by
friends here as a beautiful. girl who has re-
cently verged into womanhood. Her father
regards her as an idol, and her death would
be a terrific blow to the big hearted and
big bodied congressman. Considering his
own illness, it might also be very serious.
The Photograph Craze. '

Photographs of famous statesmen of the
present time, a prominent photographer
dicks me, always command a great sale
among visitors to W'ashington. This be-
in g a Republican administration, of course
photographs of leading men of that party
.are in great demand. More pictures of
President Harrison are sold than of any
other public man. Next to the president
:1 here are more pictures at present being
sold of Senator German than of any other
statesman. It is rarely that a. portrait of
the president is purchased without the
buyer also securing one of Mrs. Harrison.

Them' 15 still a. great demand for photo-
graphs of Mrs. Ciev eland and many pict—
tures of her are sold. Ex-President Cleve-
kind" is promraphs sell well, although not
nearly so many are sold as when he occu-
pied the \Vhite House, whereas the fact
that: Mrs. Cleveland is no longer. mistress
«of the executive mansion appears to make
no difference in the people’_ s desire for her
metrair,

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.—Another rain
storm is reported in Oregon, Washington

CHICAGO, Feb. 23. ——Albert A. Hov,ey
transfer agent for the Rock Island road,

tween the general contractors and carpen‘
ters have culminated in a strike. The car-
penters some time. ago demanded eight

THE BIG FAIR IN A BAD IVAY.

Begins to Look as Though It 3133/

End in u Fiasco.

CHICAGO, Feb 28.-—Everything points to
the possibility that soon there will not be
any nationa‘.
fair, which will leave everything in con-
trol of the local directory.~ This will also
mean a direct loss of some $2,000,000 or
more in thuwayof state appropriations,
as there will be no one to plead the fair’s
cause before the various; legislatures. The
commission finds itself in a slough of de-
spair from which there seems to be no av-
e11 no of escape.

So serious and desperate is the situation
that the board of control, which met for
the first time Friday morning since hav—
ing a quorum, actually discussed the feasi—
bility of disbauding and leaving the entire
management of the exposition in the
hands of the local directory. Vice presi—
dent Bryan, however, has assured Secre-
tary Dickinson and Vice Chairman Mc-
Kenzie, of the executive committee. that
their salaries will be paid: Members of
the board of control will also be taken
care of.

J. August Lelncke. of Indiana, anued
for United States Treasurer

W ASHISGTON. F eb. ‘28 .——A piivate tele-
gram received he1e from Ev ansv ille, Ind.,
says that J. August Lemcke, of that city,
has been appointed United States treas—
urer. The truth of this is not doubted, for
it is understood that Mr. Lemcke was ten-
dered the place three months ago, when
Treasurer ll uston was urging his resigna-
tion.

Mr. Lemcke was treasurer of Indiana for
two terms, served with credit in the state
senate and is now in New York negotiat-
ing a state loan. He isa man of wealth
and influence and popular in Indiana po-
litical circles. He is an excellent financier,
and his administration of the affairs of the
state treasurer w as abov e criticism. Mr.
Lemckc’s nomination will probably go to
the senate at once.

 

Stuart Robson Denies It.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. ‘28.——Stuart Rob-
son was interviewed in this city in regard
to rumors concerning his engagement with
Miss May Waldron of his company. “The-re
is no earthly foundation for any such re-
port," said Mr. Robson, “and I desire it
denied in the most emphatic terms. My
wife and I lived together thirty-four years
till she died. Miss “'aldron. is nothing
but a child. The story has been started by
scandal mongers. There never has been
nor never will be any foundation for such
reports. I desire you to emphatically deny
any such rumor. Miss VVallron is young
enough to be my granddaughter. The
rumor is ridiculous. ”

The Rescued liliners Improving.

HAZLETON, 1211., Feb. 28,—The rescued
J eanesville miners have all improved con-
siderably during the last twenty-four
hours, and will more than likely recover,
although incessant care is demanded. Big
Joe and Tomasknski sat up, with pillows
back of them, for a few minutes yesterday.
They are now able to move their limbs.
Their appetites are returning and they
crave for solid food. The strictest disci-
pline is maintained at the improvised hos-'
pital, and no one is admitted unless those
furnished with a pass by Mrs. Haydon.

tional White Cap case of Clear Lake has

viction of George Palmer, Homer Young,
Albert Poster and Norris Guerton. Mr.
Young, thafathcr of the wife of Ed George,
who was so cruelly beaten, pleaded not
guilty, and his case was continued. Facts
were developed during the trial which,
