WASHINGTON LETTER. The Trials of a Very Sensitive Senator. Walker as a Centaur—Dunbar, the Colored Poet. [Special Correspondence.] There is among the journalist fraternity of the town a young man who is really a wonder. I’d be afraid to say how young be is, but at any rate he is so young that if be "feels his oats” now and then, as our country cousins say, it is not at all strange. Very scon after President McKinley was inaugurated certain ones among the newspaper men were presented to him. The young man I speak of was out of town, but on his return he visited the executive mansion. He was under the influence of oats that day, and he slapped the assistant secretary affably on the back. “Octavius,” he said in the tone of a man who greets an old chum—" Octavius, I want you to take me in and introduce me to the president.” The assistant secretary is perhaps the most dignified man in town. He is certainly the last man you’d venture to slap on the back. He maintained his composure. “I shall be pleased to present the president to you, Mr. Blank," be said, “but if 1 were you, do you know, 1 wouldn't call him Bill; not just at first at any rate. It’s barely possible be might not like it. ” Trials of a Sensitive Senator. A new member of the senate was complaining to an old member of some of tiie difficulties be was encountering “For one thing,” be said, “these newspaper fellows don’t always get things straight. I don’t mean to accuse them of carelessness or of intentional misrepresentation, but now and then some remarkable stories are printed about me at home.”

“ You'll get used to that, ” replied the veteran. "That won’t hurt. That’s part of your apprenticeship. I’ve been all along there. Let me tell yon of a little experience of mine. Soon after lafirst came here I picked up a paper from my state and saw it asserted in a letter from Washington that my colleague and myself hud met and arranged a slate and that all the patronage for the state would be distributed according to that arrangement. There was no warrant tor the statement, and I made inquiries for the correspondent. No More Corrections. "He came to see me and proved to bo a bright and most agreeable young man 1 asked him for his authority, and be pleasantly refused to give it, but said that he bad every faith in his informant To that 1 replied that all 1 would ask, then, would be the privilege of denying the story, of putting my statement against tho other. He said that was only fair and that he would attend to the matter. When tbo correction appeared, it read something like this: ‘ Your correspondent's story about the deal between Senator and his colleague, by which the patronage of the state is to be divided between them, has raised quite a stir here. There can be no question as to its absolute truth, but Senator , who evidently has been rattled by the publication, now solemnly assures your correspondent that he has bad nothing whatever to do with the deal. ’ After that 1 went slow on corrections. ’ ’ Like a Centaur. Like a centaur Representative Walker of Massachusetts, when be is on horseback, seems to be half man, half animal. Although weighed down with the burden of reforming the currency question and kept busy from morning until night with devising schemes to save the country from utter ruin, Mr. Walker nevertheless steals a few moments in the morning to gambol around tie White House lot on a fiery steed. M. Walker as an equestrian is a succc He sits the saddle with the confide! of a cowboy and with the grace i ' cavalry officer. He holds himself and by the agility of bis mo\ afid by the firm grasp upon the belies the story of age told by hissuoi. locks. His prancing steed knows that u is controlled by the hand of a master and nods its noble bead with satisfaction. Mr. Parker In the Saddle. The debonair Parker of New Jersey— Richard Wayne Park< r, to be strictly correct—also loves to leap into the saddle and go forth upon the White House lot in the early morning when the frost is still on the ground and the air is full of ozone. Mr Parker does not, like Mr Walker, pursue his equestrianism in solitude, but generally is accompanied by ladies, and the party canters around the ellipse in right merry style. Mr Parker thinks that horseback riding is the greatest exercise in the world, and the ruddiness of his cheeks and the clear healthiness of his eye are the best evidences of his assertion. By all odds the best horseman in the house is little Joe Wheeler, the famous Confederate cavalry general. General Wheeler does not ride very much nowadays. He is so energetic and rapid in his movements that he can make better time when be walks. Dunbar, the Colored Poet. One of the most conspicuous figures about the library of congress is Paul Laurence Dunbar, who has made so creditable a reputation as a poet. Mr Dunbar is employed as one of the assistant librarians, and has charge of the division of medicine, mathematics and the natural sciences. He enjoys the duties of bis position, and all of his spare time is devoted to studying and writing. Mr. Dunbar has been more or less lionized since he came to Washington, and is extremely amiable in granting the various demands made upon him. On several occasions he has read selections from his own works, and—what is not always true of authors who give extracts from their own writings—he reads with expression and taste. Carl Schofield.

ANNEXATION DEBATE senators Pettigrew and proctor GIVE THEIR VIEWS. Organization of the Republican and Democratic CoiigrcM'ional Committees Completed — House a <1 Senate Proceedings— O her Washington News. Washington, Feb. 15.—The senate devoted almost four hours in executive session yesterday to the consideration of the Hawaiian treaty. The principal speech was made by Senator Pettigrew, this being the third installment of his remarks upon the subject. Senator Pettigrew contended that the downfall ot Queen Liuioukolani’s government was due to a conspiracy on the part of Minister Stevens, representing the United States, and a few citizens of Honolulu, of whom President Dole was one, who were backed by marines froi.: a United States battleship. He argued that at that time there was no armed force on the island opposed to the queen’s government except the United States marines, “and,” said the senator, "if the islands were as rich as the dreams of avarice, and their acquisition as desirable as that of Louisiana, we could not take title from a government set up there by ourselves, without submitting the question to a vote of the Hawaiian people. To do this,” lie continued with emphasis, "would be an international crime which would place us on a level with Great Britain m her subjection of the weaker nations of the ear,n, which would be an abandonment of the position and policy of our government from its earliest history.” Mr. Pettigrew also contended that the passage of the McKinley tariff law had been the direct cause of the revolution by which the queen’s government was overthrown, the motive being to secure the bounty of 2 cents per pound on domestic sugar which the law provided. He quoted a letter from Minister Stevens saying that the provision for this sugar bounty had ruined the sugar business of the islands unless they could be annexed to the United States and cited other authorities to maintain this contention. Senator Proctor (Vt.) followed with a brief speech in favor of annexation. He devoted himself exclusively to the military phase ot the question. He cited the fact that England has strongly fortified posts all along our Atlantic sea board, beginning with Halifax and taking in the Bermudas and the West .Hides. He also called attention to the strong fortress at Esquimault, and said that if England should possess the Hawaiian islands, as she might easily do in case we let this opportunity to acquire them pass by, herdrumbeat would be heard almost entirely around the United States and that she would be able to attack us from her own tern tory in any direction.

The senate then went into executive session. In the house a resolution ot inquiry was adopted calling on the secretary of state for information as to the progress Spain is making toward relieving the concentradoes and to induce them to accept autonomy.
