DOW AND OUT OF IT. How Congressmen Out of a Job Drift Into Lobbyists, REFERENCES TO HOOSIERS. Senator Voorhee. •eolln.s to Talk Over the Prospect, of Supplemental Tariff Legislation During the Short Session. Walker’s Chances Better Than Johnson's on the Banking Committee. Washington, Nov. 19.—There .will be examples all over the country after March 4 of "a statesman out of a job.” What will they do with themselves? That is no doubt what some of them are thinking today. It is not an easy thing for a man like Mr. Holman, who has devoted the greater part of a lifetime to congress, to turn to some other occupation than law making. Mr. Holman, to be sure, is qpiique. He has the record now of the longest service in tho house ever attained. But there are other men who, when their age is considered, can be credited with as much devotion to congressional work as Mr. Holman. They, too, have become congressmen by profession. One of them who loses his job through the recent election is Mr. Springer of Illinois. Another is Mr. Bynum of Indiana. One has given 20, the other 10 years of continuous service in the house of repre sentatives. Both are lawyers, and both left good business at home when they came to Washington. Mr. W. R. Morrison of Illinois said recently of campaigning in Illinois that the work for a re election occupied all the time between the sessions of congress. Campaigning in Indiana is quite as absorbing a business, Therefore, Mr Springer for 20 years and Mr. Bynum for 10 years have been neglecting their law practice until they have virtually none left. Mr. Bynum has announced, however, that he is going back to Indiana to go to work. There had been an opinion that he was going to remain here. Lobbying as a Business. Most of the men who come to congress are lawyers. A law practice is built up by years of effort and steady application. It is natural, therefore, that men whose terms in congress have expired, who know that they must return to their-old home to struggle for perhaps five or six years before they can place themselves where they were before they came to congress or remain here in the practice of their profession before the departments, should prefer the easier life. - For a vime they command business from their own states. Then they pick up a general business. Sometimes they take up matters before congress and become lobbyists. There are so many of these ex-congressmen lobbyists in Washington that it has been necessary to curtail the privileges of the floor of the house. In the Forty-ninth congress old “Richelieu”. Robinson of New .York., made himself so conspicuous in his advocacy of ([legislation that the privilege was taken away from all. Now it is limited to ex-members “who are not interested in any claim or bill pending before congress, ” and Speaker Crisp has had to apply the prohibition of that rub more than once during his three years as presiding officer. Mr. Reed, who will be the speaker of the next congress, is perhaps even more intolerant of the ex-congressman lobbyist than is Mr. Crisp. HOUSE COMMITTEES. Some Ordinary Ones Likely to Take Important Rank—Appropriations. Washington, Nov. 19.—The house committees which are expected to be of greatest importance in the next congress are those on ways and means, appropriations, rules, banking and currency, coinage, weights and measures, rivers and harbors and public buildings and grounds. The first three named always head the list. The others are expected to assume importance because of the especial conditions whifch will prevail. The banking committee will certainly be one of the most important on the entire list if there should be an effort, as is hinted there may be, to revise the currency laws and change the present system. The probability of an effort to secure silver legislation, and the probability that the Republican party when it comes into power in the house will want to formulate a policy on this question, will have the effect also of advancing the coinage committee to a position of first rank. The river and harbor and public buildings committees will have the delicate task of providing for public improvements, so far as a committee of the house can accomplish this work. With so many new men as there will be on the Republican -aide, and all of them feeling that it will be necessary to make a showing to their constituents, there will naturally be a pretty general clamor for appropriations. The low condition of the treasury and the fact that a presidential election will be so near at hand will prove strong arguments toward economy, however, as "will the possibility of a presidential veto. Only three of the old Republican members of the committee on banking and currency are re-elected. They are Walker of Massachusetts, Russell of Connecticut and Johnson of Indiana. Mr. Walker is the senior Republican member and nis chances of securing the chairmanship would be the best. -In the nat-iral order of events Hon. J. C. Burrows of Michigan will become chairman pf the ways and means committee with Mr. Reed in the speaker’s chair. The o ily doubt is that he may be successful in his ambition to succeed Senator Patton. VOORHEES NOT TA LK It?G. Politics and Subjects Wltb Congress Tabooed by the Senator. Washington, Nqv. 19.—Democratic senators at present in the -city decline almost without exception to discuss the prpbable plans of the Democratic leaders in the senate with reference to the Supplemental tariff bills at the forthcoming sho-t session. The majority content thei selves with saying that they have had no opportunity for party

press personal opinions. It would seem from tills that a general Democratic conference in the senate is among the strong probabilities for the purpose of determining this point. Ifls of course well remembered that there is a faction on the Democratic side which is opposed to any further efforts at tariff legislation bv the present eon gross, and it is thought possible that the result of the late elections may have influenced others to take this view. Senator Voorhees I declines to talk for publication on all ' subjects connected with politics or congress. Senator Harris refers reporters to his remarks upon the point before Jhe adjournment of the last session, when he announced his purpose of trying to get the supplemental bills up at the earliest opportunity in the short session. r Prosperous In Alaska. Washington, Nov. 19.—1 n his report to the secretary of the interior the governor of Alaska, James Sheakley, says the fisheries have been successful, the mines have yielded profitable returns, the population has been largely augmented by immigration and the people have enjoyed a season of unusual progress and prosperity. LETTER FROM BILL COOK. That Invincible Outlaw Tells Officers to Keep Hands Off. Muscogee, I. T., Nov. 19.—United States Attorney Jackson has received a letter from Bill Cook threatening to kill him if he makes any further attempt to exterminate the gang. The force of deputies out under Deputy United States BILL COOK. Marshal McGill were equipped by United States Attorney Jackson at his own expense, and the citizens here are i loud in their praise of him. His ini structions to the men were to remain in the field until the gang had been either killed or captured. It was this force 1 that surprised the bandits under Cherokee Bill Saturday and made a valiant fight. Cherokee Bill has not yet been captured, though late reports say he surely will be. CZAR LAID TO REST. , • .. Great Display Made at the Funeral—Crush - In Viewing the Remains. St. Petersburg, .Nov. 19. — With ' great display and great evidences of mourning the late Czar Alexander 111 was laid away for his final rest. Sunday, the last day before the burial, marked some unusual scenes. Ever since the body- has been lying in state there has ' been no diminution of the crowds, and i so great did these become yesterday, coupled with the intense desire to get into the cathedral, that there were many regretable if not disgraceful scenes of disorder. Police were unable to control the masses and so great was the pressure at times that lampposts and trees 1 were knocked down. Many persons , were injured. Imperial heralds paraded the city yesterday and announced, 'tjhe 1 funeral. Today the final ceremonies occur at the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul; The city is one mass of mourners i and everywhere are somber symbols of sorrow. TRAIN WRECKERS. They Succeed In Killing a Fireman and Injuring an Crowley, La., Nov. 19.—A successful attempt at traintvrecking was perpetrated Saturday night on the Branch ; road, four miles south of Eunice. The obstruction caused the engine, baggage car and passenger coach to turn over. Fireman S. Geiger was killed and Engineer Joseph Maulden seriously injured. Killed His Lover. New York, Nov. 19.—Richard Leach, SOyears old, a florist who lived with his reputed wife, Mary Hope Newkirk, in Forty-ninth street, killed her Sunday morning and then tried to end his own life by cutting his throat with the same weapon, a small penknife. The man will probably recover. Bloody Kentucky Battle. Owensboro, Ky., Nov. 19.—A bloody battle was, fought here yesterday in which John Ashby, an ex-policeman, and Jack Heverin. a grocer and saloonist, were mdrtliiijr wqunded and a policeman injured as the result of Hever in’s effort to stop dancing in his place on Sunday. -| ? Not a Success as Train Robbers. Memphis, Nov. 19.—Six masked men tried to hold up a train near Panther Run, Miss., early Sunday morning.

MB! SIS IMIN. Four Thousand Spectators at the Opening Day’s Races. WOMEN IN BETTING BING. Wreck on tho C., 11. and D. Near Connersville—Old Story of .Short G»« Sup- | ply —Unrnly C<>w riills tJjflT a M»nV Thumb and Finger — State News In General. Hammond, Ind., Nov. 17.—The Roby Racing association opened its winter meet’ng yesterday with nearly 4,000 people in attendance. It was by far the largest crowd ever present at that track on opening dhy. If the threat made by Governor Matthews that he would suppress the meeting, if within his power to do so, is giving the managers any considerable amount j of concern it is not apparent from their actions. No attempt was made to hide the fact that racing was carried on especially for the purpose of making bpoks on the races. Women were present and betting, MARRIAGE INDUSTRY. Business of Eloping; Gets a Backset In the Election. Clarksville, Ind., Nov. 17.—N0 one had thought of it until now, but the late disastrous landslide has played havoc with the great matrimonial business of Jeffersonville, and (both Republicans and Democrats alike are moving every lever to retain it. Among the defeated candidates were the well known ’Squires Ephrhiui Keigwin and John Hause, but it is only since the smoke of battle has cleared away that any one 1 has thought of them. Os course the ■ election of other justices, whether Republicans or Democrats, knocks a hole in the business of marrying eloping couples, since only these two magistrates are known to the world. If they are out of it, any town may gather the business just as well as this city. Keigwin and Hause are trying for appointment. “ Probably Fatally Burned. Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 17.—Mrs. J. H. Eylenberg was the victim of a distressing accident yesterday. Her chil- . dren lighted a bonfire and she went out to attend it. Her dress caught fire and every stitch of clothing on her body, from her shoes to her neck, burned to ashes. She is suffering horrible torture. Singular Accident. Franklin, Ind., Nov. 17. — While Amerint Wood, a retired merchant of this city, was leading a cow from a pasture by a rope yesterday, his hand became entangled in the ring at the end and before lie could loosen it the cow began to run. The thumb and forefinger of his left hand were torn off. C., H. aad D. Wreck? Connersville, Ind., Nov. 17.—The C., H. and D. Chicago vestibuled train went off an open switch just east of town, it having been thrown by wreck- ! ers. The locomotive and several cars . were overturned, but escapes from death were made by all on the train. Fireman Fatally Hurt. Logansport, Ind., Nov. 17.—Frank Baker of the fire department while making a run to a fire was thrown from a hose cart, receiving injuries thought to be fatal. "»Three ribs were broken and cue of his lungs was punctured. Educational Facilities. Elwood, Ind., school board is preparing for the erection of a handsome high school building on grounds donated by the Dehority Laj;d company. An Old Gas Story. Wabash, lud., Nov; 17.—There is said to te unmistakable indications of a decline in the pressure at the natural gas wells in the eastern part of the Indiana field. „ BRIEFS FROM HOOSTERDOM. Columbia City will invest SIO,OOO in boring for gas. 'flie L, D. and W. railroad is about to pass under control of the L. E. and W. Stephen Hadley of near Marshall was beaten out of SSBO by a lightningrod shark. E. M. Davis of Cayuga, a bridge carpenter. was accidentally killed near Brockton, Ills. Deports of scarlet fever at the Fort Wayne f.ebleminded institute are exaggerated. The New Albany Tribune daily hoists a scriptural quotation at the head of its editorial column. Frederick House, employed by’Janies Thompson, farmer, near Crawfordsville, was struck by a limb while felling a tree and killed. Racing at Roby may go on for a time. Governor Matthews will probably give the new sheriff time to act and if he does net do so Will likely take the matter in hand. Several years ago Laporte citizens drilled to the depth of 3,000 feet hunting for natural gas, but only succeeded in finding salty water. Another attempt to find gsts is now being made. The Goshen Times says that there is a quiet movement in that part of the state among the friends of Judge John H. Baker to boom that gentleman for United States senator to succeed Voorhees in 1890. Strange Political Mixture. New York, Nov. 17. — Representatives of the Bowery aud Murray Hill districts mingled harmoniously last night within the exclusive walls of the Union League club. It was a reception by Chauncey M. Depew to the 48 captains of the election districts of the Second assembly district. Bankers and other representative men clinked glasses with the typical Bowery politician. Murdered by Highwaymen Sacramento, Nov. 17.—Last evening i two masked men entered Ben’s saloon and demanded of Barkeeper Cornelius the money in the safe. He refused, when they shot and killed, him. There was an Indian in the saloon at the time and they robbed him of his watch.
