WAHLEAB, THE LUCKY MILWAUEEE SPECULATOR, Sylvan Wahirab, the Hungarian miller, of Mil Waukee, who made money 80 rapidly in his specu- lations in grain, and who had accumulated a for- ‘tune during his three years’ sojourn in Milwaukee estimated at $300,000 up toone year ago, has “suc. ‘cumped to the inevitable.” Mr. Wabirab has been | never taken long to discover thelr qu. An impression of the House is taken each day. A complete record of each day’s proceedings 8 pre- ‘Served—not only each day’s proceedings, but every occurrence during theday. Everything ts recorded; all that is done, all that ts attempted or even sug- gested, every word that is spoken goes into the ear Of one of the parliamentary reporters and comes out in crooked characters at the end of his pencil. ‘The Congressional Record is a picture of every- ‘thing that occurs on the floor of the House. It tetls who speaks or even makes a side ‘remark a8 to anything before the House, gives their very ‘words and almost their tone of voice. In the sharp, Se ntemtcnaes oer aang ng of his voice. ‘The Mr, Randall next the liveliest sort of was in Umes the House was in a tumult, seve! speaking at the same time in the most excited and manner. Members from remote of the hall thrust sharp remarks into the de- 2. Declarations, questions and answers, carusts and parries, continuously on the’ ears of the reporters D the calmest moments a “running” debate was kept up. At irty minutes after the adjournment— ‘the manuscript report of the was on ite way to inting off met again a few hours! ter the Rect member’s desk. Gen. Hawley was so pleased with this teat that he sent a copy Of that number of the Record to the speaker of the English house of com- mons, Who was greatly astonished at it. HOW THE WORK IS DONE. ‘The work 18 accomplished only by perfect sys- tem. All the reporting is gone by five stenogra- phers. Mr. McElhone, the chiet reporter, has just Anished his fofty-sixth session of Congressional Teporting. His assistants, he says, are the best stenographers to be found.’ He says he does not think “there is another corps of reporters in the world as good, From ume to Ume the old Feporters have died off, and it has always been aifMcult to fill their places. ‘The five reporters areon hand a few minutes before the hour for the meeting of the House, ‘The work is divided between them. Each one of them takes a column of the record, He who gts the first assignment begins his report with the falling 0. the Speaker's gavel. He 1s on the alert for every sound. He is Tesponsible for an accurate, intelligent report of everything that occurs until he 1s relieved. He has no nt to follow along with him and sup- ply any defictencies. H= must know everyching Uhat ls going on. Everything that is sald must sound upon his ear and be recorded in his book. He must miss nothing. Ifthe did he could never Tecover the missing link. ‘The proceedings may drag on slowly, so that it will take hin some time toget his column. All is easy enoush thea. But in a moment something may provoxe a lively de- bate, and an avalanche of speech will pour down on him. Then hes ina trying position. He 1s glad to reach the end of his column, witich doesn’t take loug—and to yield up the task to another. He passes quickly from the floor to the “oficial Teporters’ room” in the basement, where two clerks, who are stenographers also, ‘are awaiting 'He dictates his noves very rapidly to these clerks, giving half to one and half to the other. ‘These clerks are good stenographers and accurate type-writers, experienced and well-educated. Without loss of time, they transcribe their short- hand with the typewriter. This work 1s done with great rapidity, and by tue time thelr re- porter has recurved With more to dictate the first installment ts accurately reproduced in type- writing ready for the printer, REPORTERS AND CLERKS.

ON TRIAL. ‘There have been some curious experiences with Stenographers who thought they couid do the work ‘and used influ-nee to get on the force. Such men have been sometimes put on fora trial. It has ues. Gen eraliy they get at sea ou the start and do not re. cover their composure until they are well out of the position. When a? man is being put on Urlul the fate of the report 18 not lett tw him. One of the other reporters makes a duplicate report. “It fell to the lot o: one new man to report a Merce ruauiug debate, which turned chiefly on points of law and tnvoived many tecuni- calities, The statements, questions, and replies came thick and fast, and ‘the repocter was over- Whelmed. “No mad on earth could report such a debate.” he sald, ay he threw down his book in the reporters’ room. Mr. McEluone at once dictated from his own book a compiete and exact report of what had occurred. A TEST OF SKILL Sometimes there are debates that try the skill of the best of them. Some member will be a speech on a subject in which the whole House is interested. The other members will ‘crowd close about him, some to listen and ap- plaud, others to ask questions and make retort. No is bad for parliamentary’ corum, ‘The in the is forgouten, and it becomes # squabble amoug members, They speak directly to each other, wiih no pre- tense of addressing tue House, and all i E Hal é i It ‘the utmost attention to report him. ‘80 were of and Ran- But besides all this there are other things which try the souls of the reportera, While a debate 1s mace _m Teporcing. & Gebate ho 1s trequestly sur. sabject in a lower tone, and sometimes they will the are no attention to the debate that is ing the House, Dut are devoting themselves to sion of some other matter. ‘The reporter hears all this, together with what he has h Ws rat eaeeee with him whenever. a reporter take a seat near him tomove up and te ‘the best of his svories, was He never thought of the int into thelr ents walle in reporting ir ears wi ry a te would see him Dearing dows on theim ‘hey used 9 foruty their 2 y Pindsfor double duty. few members like the trouble of reading reports before they go to print. Therefore the reporters have the responsibility for errors and have to exercise the utmost care. Some inem- ers Who Will never read the copy will make ‘AGREAT FUSS ifthere is a word wrong in the record, Mr. McEl- hone, besides taking his turn with the rest in re- porting debates, looks over all the copy, to see that the paging ts all tht. This he does very juickly ma long practice, But the skill of the clerks is such that it is seldom any sort of cor- Tection has to be made. If an error occur he finds it almost at a glance, AT THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. At six o'clock the compositors at the Government Printing Office begin their work. Some time be- fore that hour the messenger comes after the copy. As fast as the notes of the report are transcribed the copy 18 arranged in order and put ina litle little square mahogany box. It is then looked over by Mr. McElhone. If any member wants to look over “his copy” the messenger ts directed to take it to nim before golug to the Prinung omice and to wait while he reads it, But little time is ae for this supervision, The members must hurry up. ‘The printers are crying for copy. ‘The report 1s then taken to the printing office, where it is cut up into “takes” and distributed among the printers, It has always been the custom to put experienced men upon the Record work, and a. Corps of Lue most expert proof-readers look over the proofs. There is no supervision of the proofs by the Teporters, Wien the copy eaves their hands they hear no more of it uotil the printed record comes in the nextday. New ieinbers are generally snxious to see the proof of what they have said i i Devore it gets Into the Record, but_ the older mem" Vers have become used to it nd rely more on the skill of the reporters. In the morning the Records are sent to the Cap- itolin great bundles. ‘They are distributed among the Various committee-rooms and one 1s placed on the desk of each Senator and Representative. Tae Representatives always read them in the morn- ing. If they have any correction to be made they announce It to the Speaker on the opening of the Se8810:1, ‘The Record that 18 placed on the members desks 1s not stereotyped, and the members have Unree or four days in wiiteh to make any correc- tons they may deem necessary, It 1s then stereo- typed for tie bound edition, Prior to 1873 Lue proceedings of the House were recorded in tue Congressiona Globe under a con- tract first with Mr. Rives and later with Rives & Bulley, who owned the Gove. ‘The same corps of rlérs who recorded the ings for the Globe were appoluted by Speaker Biaine to do the Work for the Kecord, Some of these are still em- ployed. WHO THE REPORTERS ARE. While Mr. McElhone 1s officially known as the “chief” reporter, and has been there longer than ‘the rest, they are, in fact, all on an equality. Each 1s appointed by the Speaker and 1s responsible directly to him. ‘They ad work alike and each-1s enurely responsible for bis own work, Each porter has also to pay his own clerks. “The cierks Are not provided tor by the House. it has taken long experience for the reporters to become com- event to report the proceedings of the House. Mr. Mckluoue has, as has been sald, been longest employed at tuts work. He was at first in the Senate for one year and from thefe came over to the House, assuming a great responsibility. Prior Yo that he had been connected wita newspaper work and had had the advantage of a collegiate education, He Was connected with the Phiiadel- hia Press at its incipleacy and Wrote ietters from Washington tor som- Ume after he began report- ing Ue proceedings of the House, ‘Mr. David Wolf Brown and Mr. J.

Yanghen Var? ‘Make way! A fire —there is!’ When these Turkish words, thus liter- ally translated, are sounded in the streets of Stamboul or Pera, the unaccustomed auditor looks ‘out fora sensation, He will not look in vain.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, “<I had some experience with a fire in the Hotel Royal in one of my rooms, owing to the burning of the curtains by a servant; but the firemen happl- ty did not come until I myself had put out the fire, which was consuming the bedciothes, curtains, window sills and furniture. When they did come in with the police, I had more trouble to put them out than the fire. They hung around, and hung around, so ‘suspiciously that I had to keep my eye on all the Unconsumed property.
