CHATS FROM THE CAPITOL.
SOME INCIDENTS FROM "WASHING
TON LIFE.
Mr. Tovne Looks the Senator, Though He
Will be, One But a Short Time The Pres
ident Dines Out Champ Clark the Only
Oae Who Keported Democratto Gains.
"Washington Post, 11th.
Grosveoor, of Ohio, and Champ
Clark, of Missouri, met yesterday for
the first time since they engaged in a
joint debate at the Mountain Lake
Park
"Hello, Champ!" said Grovenor.
"How did you get through the cam
paign?" "Splendidly," replied Clark. 4,I
gained twenty-five pounds."
"Well," continued Grosvenor, "I
congratulate you. That is the first
Democratic gain of which I have
heard."
The many social attentions ehown
former President Harrison during his
week's visit c&me to an end last eve
ning with a large dinner party by Jus
tice Harlan. The distinguished men
prespnt to meet the former Chief Exec
utive were beaded by the present hold
er of that office, President McKinley,
who rarely breaks through the well
establishrd rule of accepting invita
tions only from the members of his
Cabinet, which in the present adminis
tration is regarded entirely as one
large family, his presence at Justice
Harlan's being therefore all the great
er compliment to hi9 distinguished
predecessor. Other guests wi re Chu-f
Justice Fuller, the Secretary of the
Interior, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Justice Brewer, Jus
tice Brown, Justice Shiras, Justice
Gray, Justice White acd Justice Mc
Kenna, all of the United States Su
dreme Court; Senator Frye, Senator
Hoar, Senator Morgan, Senator
Spooner, Senator Fairbanks, Gen.
Breckenridge, ex-Secretary John W.
Foster, Rev. Wallace Rcdcliffe,D D.;
A. H. Snow and Mr. Richani D. Har
lan. A number of prominent men in Con
gress and otherwise in. public life were
gathered at Chamberlain's last eve
ning, and the conversation turned to
the ups and downs of politics. In the
party were Private John Allen, of
MIesissipi, and Senator Shoup, of
Idaho, both of whom have just con
cluded unsuccessful Senatorial can
vasses of their respective States.
"What's the matter down in Missis
sippi and out in Idaho?" some one
asked representative Allen, "that two
such brilliant men as you and Shoup
do not 6eem to be wanted in the Sen
ate?'1 "Well, now," drawled the Missis
sippian ot famous wit, "Idaho is a
long way off, and I can't tell you
much about why Shoup got left; but I
can tell you about Mississippi; I know
all about it." Then, in a confidential
whisper and with an air of imparting
some startling secret, he added:
"Mississippi isn't sending her best
men to the Senate this year."
Towne, of Minnesota, looks every
inch a Senator. He is of studious
cast of countenance, which his specta
cles serve to emphasize; he is dignified
and quiet in demeanor and his gray
hair makes him look older than he
really is. He fits into the senatorial
groove as if he had been made to or
der. There was a little ripple in the Sen
ate yesterday, before Towne was
sworn in, because Governor Lind ap
pointed him to serve until the legisla
ture meets and his successor is elected
and qualifies. Senator Chandler call
ed attention to the fact that this last
statement exceeded the langauge of the
Constitution, which only allows an
appointment to be effective until the
legislature meets. Mr. Chandler did
not, however, interpose any objection
to the reception of the credentials, and
Mr. Towne, escorted by Senator Nel
son, took the oath of office. He was
then conducted to a seat on the Demo
cratic sidp, adjoining Senator Clay, of
Georgia, where he received a cordial
welcome from Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, and other Democrats. He
will be a Senator only until the first
week in January, but once a Senator,
always a Senator.

is where we stand in the lumber business. At the kicking
spot, as it were, in regard to prices.
First comes the owner of the timber. He just woke np
to the value of it and wants double last year's prices. Then
the sawmill man. He has n Dt been making a fortune and
thinks now he should share a little in the general prosperity
They say to us : "We must have so much for our trees
and work." After a while it is "up to you." Don't kicK.
You don't suppose we have nerve enough to put up prices un
less they had first been put up on us. No, indeed. f u
pxices are NOT high. They have been to low and are jus
now getting reasonable. Your children will be glad to bm
at double the price i now costs you. It is a trite, but
saying, if you want to build, "Now is the time."
And ours is the nlace to eret th stuff.
