Wasbincton, D.C. When the Fifty-second Congress takes pos- seesion of the Capitol on Monday each Senator and member will find on his desk acopy of the Congressional Directory. Compiler W. H. Michacl has been hard at work on the interest- ing publication and it is now practically ready for circulation. To the student of human na- ture, and especially congressional human na- ture the most interesting portion of the docu- ment is that which contains biographical sketches of the nation’s legisiators—aketches contributed by the individuals themselves, and therefore sutobiographical Some of the Con- gressmen give only the most meager facts, while others present » multiplicity of incident, occasionally anew mer teile the public what he thinks of himself, so that the public may compare its ides of ‘his value with the figures he has displayed. SOME BIOGRAPHICAL PECTLTARITES. More likely to attract <ttention than any other sketch, by reason of ity length, ix the contribution of Senator Jobn McAuley Palmer of Illinois, Ithas been unwritten iaw that no hould exceed ne-fourth of 2 ut Senator Palmer bes succeeded in ing througk the regu’ations He puts fon record. with great minuteness, to the extent of more than three-fourths of a page. Second in the matter of length is the auto- biography of Ckarles Harrison Page, who rep- resents the second Rhode Irland district, Some- thing more than half a page suffices. Then some of the contributions are brief in Shenk of Penuevlvanis tells bis yin thicty-two words, or less than three tires of type “aetle of Minnesota ard Steward, Hiinois, are also inside of three lines. Senatcr Culi is given position as one of the Senators from Florida, but in a footnote the compiler saya: ‘The governor of Fiortda de- nies the vaiidity of Mr. Call's election and has uppointec R. H. M. Davidson to fill the alleged vacancy.” Senator Dubois of Idaho is in place aud no mention whatev laget*’« contest for the seat. Senator Gordor of Ge has a dozen modest lines in which he tells the story of his public life. His record in the confederate service is prominent’ SENATOR PEFFER'S SKETCH. Sepator Peffer's sketch makes its first ap- pearance in this edition of the directory. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is by the Senator in the following langnage: liam Aifred Peffer of ‘Topeka was born ona farm in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, September 10, 1831, attended a public school; began teaching at the age of fifteen yoars; taught Curing winter and farmed in summer; removed to Indiana June, i853, and opened a ; removed to Mis- and purchased a farm se of the war removed , and enlisted as a pri- y F) eighty-third Ilinois intan- try, the following August; was promoted to second heutenant March, 1863; served as regi- mentai quartermaster and adjutant, post adju- tant, judge advocate of « military commission and ‘depot quartermaster in the engineer de- partment at Nashville: studied nw odd hours during tie war; was mustered ont of service June 26, 1865; began practice of law at Clarks- ville, Tennessee, Angust, 1865; removed to Kan- sas January, 170, and practiced law there un- til 1878, in the meantime establishing and con- ducting two newspapers—Fredonia Journal and Coffeyville Journal, was elected to the State senate in 1874; was chairman of joint centennial committee, member of judiciary and chairman of committee on corporations; was republican presidential elector in 1830; became editor of the Kansas Farmer 1881; was elected to the United States Senate as a mem- ber of the pecple’s party; took his seat March 4, 1891. His term will expire March 3, 1897.” Senator Edward Dougiass White of Louis- iana has but little to swy. He mentions the fact thut a portion of his education was se- cured at Georgetown College. Senator Gibson of Marylund has practically the same biography which served him while he was s member of the House. SENATOR JACOB U. GALLINGER. Senator Jacob H. Gallinger of New Hamp- shire says nothing in his contribution about the trouble he has bad and is having with his colleague. He puts himself down as having been born in Cornwall, Ontaric, March 28, 1837; received a common schoo! and seademic education; wasa printer in early life; studied medicine and was graduated in May, 1858, and Las practiced medicina and surgery since; is a member of various state and national medical societies, and has a practice which extends be- Yond the limits of his own state; was a member of the state house of representatives of New Hampshire in 1872-'73 and 1891; was a member of the constitutional convention in 187 member of the state senate in 1878, 1879 and 1880, being president of that body the last two Years; was surgeon generai of New Hampshire, with the ranx of brigadie: general, in 1879-'80; received the honorary degree of A. M. from Dartmouth College: was chairman of the re- publican state committee from 1882 to 1890, when he resigned the place; was elected to the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses as a repub- lican, and declined renomination to_ the Fifty- first Congress; was clected United States Sena- ix appropriate made of Mr. ceiving 75 ballots, as SENATOR PROCTOR. Senator Proctor of Vermont is another of the senatorial debutantes. He puts his history thaswise: caiBedfiela Darteronth School; served Werdune 1. ooh gradueted at june 3 a affa at the Albany Law ‘as lieutenant and state senate and president body in 1874 and 1875; was from 1876 to 1878 and 1880; was # delegate to tary of larch, 1889, to November, 1891; was appointed by Gov. ‘November 2, 1891, to until the election of his successor, the va- cancy caused by the resignation of Hon. George F. Edmands.” SENATOR WM. F. VILAS. The last (in the directory) of the new Sena- tors 1s William F. Vilas, who was successively Postmaster General and Secretary of tne Inter- ior under Presideut Cleveland. His record is fefollows: “William ¥. Vilas of Madieon, was n sea, Orange county, Vermont, July 9, 1840; remover. with his. faiker's family 40 Wisconsin and settled at Madison, June 4, 1851, was graduated at the State University in 1858; from the law department of the University of Albany, N. in 1860; was admitted to the bar by the supremo court of New York and by the supreme court of Wisconsin in the same year, and begun the practice of the law at Madison, July 2, 1860; was captain of company A, twenty~| third regiment Wisconsin infantry volunteers und afterward major and lieutenant-colonel of the rey ent; has been one of the professors of law of the law depactment of the State Univers- ity since 1868, omitting four yeara, 1885 to 1889; was one of the regents of the university from 1880 to 1885: was one of three revisers appointed by Me supreme court of Wisconsin in 1875, who ape the existing revised body of thestatuta law adopted in 1878; was a member of assembly in the Wisconsin legislature in 1885; was a dele- gate to the democratic national conventions of 1876, 1880, 1884, aud permanent chairman of the latter; was Postmaster General from March 7, 1885, to January 16. 1888, and Sec: of the tuferior from the latter date to, March 6, 1889; received the unanimous nomination the ' democratic lative caucus and was elected January 28, 1891, United States Senator to succeed Johr C. Spooner, repuplican. Took his seat March 4, 1891. His term of service will expire March 8, 1897.” ODDITIES OF EXPRESSION. Occasional oddities of expression and the revelation of facts not looked for make the di- rectory interesting. For instance, Turpin of Alabama says of one of his fights for nomina- tion that he was “defeated by the two-thirds rule and a dark horse.” ‘The horse’s name is not given nor is any reference made to his ped- igree. ‘Those members who were privileged to receive collegiate education generally say so. J.T. Hamilton of the fifth Iowa district lays especial stress upon the fact that “he is not a graduate of any college.” Absolutely correct as to dates, but perhaps a trifle uncomplimentary toward his wife, is B. H. Clover of the third Kansas district. He says he “received his education in the common schools of his native state and the school of e: perience; was married on All Fool's day in 1859 and has seven children.” Representative John Davis of the fifth Kan- sas has a reputation for political and literar: bravery, and he is not afraid to say so. ie says he “took a leading part in the anti-slavery movement,” and, “through correspondence in the journal of the Knights of Labor and other mediums, became widely known as an able and fearlews writer on economic subjects.” - REPKESENTATIVE M'KAIG. Probably the best all-around general utility man in the House will be William McMahon McKaig, who defeated MeComas in the sixth Maryland district, Mr. McKaig says he started out asa mariner, having “boated coal over the ‘Chesapeake and Ohio canal from Cumberland to the navy yard in Washington city during the navigable portions of the years 1860, 61, "62, "63, "64 and "65; read law with his uncles, Gen. Thomas J. McKaig and W. W. McKaig, and was admitted to the Allegany bar April, 1868; bealth failing him in 1873, he went to Colorado terri- tory and lived an outdoor life, ranching, bunt- ing and trapping in the Pike's Peak region; spring of 1874 went to Manitou and Denver and engaged in the hotel business until October, when he went to Salt Lake City, Utah, then to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Cajon Pass, near the Panamint Mines, Cal, where he fol- lowed gold mining; spring of 1875 went to Aca- Polce, Mexice, Vout Auranus, Coste, Mics, Panama, Aspinwall and Savanilla, in the Unit States of Colombia; then to York; failed to secure the democratic nomination for state's attorney for Allegany county; was appointed city attorney for Cumberland in 1876, was elected in 1877 from Allegany county to the lower branch of the Maryland legislature; was appointed in 1879 colonel on the personal staff of Gov. Hamilton; was appointed chief of ord- nance on the general staff by Gov. Robert M. MeLane in 1884, and reappointed by Governors Hoy and Jackion; was elected tate senator rom Allegany county in 1887; spring of 1t was elected mayor of Cumberland.” For fine-pointed accuracy of detail T. A. E. Weadock of the tenth Michigan is a trifle in the lead. He says ho began to learn the printing trade, but, disliking it, gave it up to become » tor to succeed Henry W. Blair, whose term of service expired March 3, 1891; his term of serv- ice commenced March 4, 1891, and will expire March 3, 1897. SENATOR DAVID BENNETT HILL. Another of the new Senators is David Ben- nett Hill of New York. His narrative is as fol- lows: “David Bennett Hill of Elmira was born in Havana, Schuyler (then Chemung) county, New York, August 29, 1843; was graduated from the Havana Academy; studied law in Elmira and admitted to the bar im November, 1864, at the age of twenty-one: within « few months he was appointed city attorney; im 1871 and again in 1872 was elected from Chemung county to the state assembly; was president of the demoeratic state school teacher, COL. JOHN B. FELLOWS. ‘The only northers member of Congress who served in the confederate army is John R. Fellows of the sixth New York district. He says of his war experience that he ‘entered thi southern army in the first Arkansas regim after the battle of Shiloh was assigned to staff duties as assistant adjutant and inspector gen- eral and ordered to report to Gen.

Van Dorn’s department; was cap- tured at the surrender of Port Hudson, La, July 9, 1863, and released June 10, 1865." John A. Quackenbush of the eighteenth New convention in 1877 and in 1881; was elected mayor of Elmira in 1882; was president of the w York State Bar Association in 1886 and again in 1887; was chosen lieutenant governor of the state in November, i882; became gov- ernor, in the place of Grover Cleveland, in Jan. ! | ary, 1855; was elected governor in November, { 1885; re-elected in 1888, and m 1891 was elected to the United States Senate as a democrat to | succeed William M. Evaris. His term of office j will expire March 2, 1897." Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota tels ! just about the same story Le used to when be was @ member of the House.

Payne, for the term commencing March 4, 1691.’ His term of service will expire March 3, 1897." Senator Irby of South Carolina is modestly brief in giving his record. SENATOR KYLE'S CAREER. Senator Kyle of South Dakota presents facts not common even in the directory. He has = York is one of the few farmers who are bound to tmake money no matter how the crops turn out. He announces himselt as ‘‘a former and specu- lutor in farm products,” ' A LOCEMAKER MEMBER. The lockmaking business occupies the atten- tion of H..S.

The stated accupations of the members of the House shows the law to be the widest door- way into Congress.

One of the territorial dele- gates is from the Isle of Man; another hails from Nova Scotia. NAVAL EXPENDITURES. Paymaster General Stewart Speaks of Their Increase. Payaster General Stewart in his annual re- port to the Secretary of the Navy says that the growth of the navy has called for greatly in- creased expenditures at shore stations during the past fiscal year, the excess over 1890 being about three ands half millions. It is a signifi- cant fact, however, that whilethe increase in the amount of “supplies” purchased was $700,- 000 the increase in the quantity expended “for use” was $1,400,000. This is taken as an indication of the success of the new system of consolidated purchases of supplies, as the accumulation of stores, which was the evil of the old system of bureau pur- chases, has ceased. On this point the pay- master general says: “The wisdom of concentrating in one bureau all the accounts of the navy is evidenced in the fact that the department is now enabled to avail itself speedily of information and data heretofore altogether unattainable, or only pro- curable after great labor by compilation of sta- tistics gathered from each separate bu- reau. By means of s comprehensive sys- tem of double-entry bookkeeping cov- ering accounts with each ship in the navy, with every navy yard and station, including separate accounts with the machinery plant and the manufacturing departments of each yard and station, this bureau is enabled to follow in minute detail all expendi- tures of money and material 0 as £2 1 pee an Sate? arte stasttte of al! property com) e naval establish- ment and the expense ‘of maintaining it, to say what each ship in the new navy has cost and to give the running expense of every ves- sel in commission.” The report closes by calling attention to the fact that the pay corps has been reduced to the legal number. and recommends an addition of five to the grades of passed assistants and as- sistant paymasters. eS ‘TWO ALLEGED BICYCLE THIEVES, One of Them Escupes, the Other Held for the Grand Jury. * Detective Mahon went to Baltimore yester- day to take charge of a man named Henry Yeatman, who had been arrested there ona charge of stealing a bicycle from in front of the store of Gude Bros., florists, No. 1112 F street. The bicycle was stolen Tuesday morn- ing and Yeatman was arrested while trying to dispore of the wheel. While the detective was in Baltimore making arrangements to bring Yeatman here he learned of the arrest in the same city of another young man on a similar charge. The other wheel be- longed to Mr. H. W. Higham, the bicycle dealer at No. 476 Pennsylvania avenue, where the young man arrested had hired it. When he rented the bicycle he told the dealer that his naug was Joseph Ellis and that he came here from Norfolk. He left his valise, cun- taining some old clothes, and then went to Baltimore on the train. Yeatman rode to Bal- timore on the bicycle. ‘The two alleged bicycle thieves were hand- cuffed ‘together and brought here yesterday afternoon. Ellis, whois only about twenty- one years old. tried to slip the cuffe and get away, but the officer tightened the irons about his wrist, so that he could not get his hand through the ring ‘Upon their arrival here yesterday afternoon the prisoners were locked up at ‘the sixth pre- cinet station for a hearing in the Police Court this morning, but the hearing in Ellis’ case had to be post because he was not present. ‘When being taken from thestation to the patrol wagon he made a break for, liberty and ran of the “Baltimore and e exca Yestman, who claimed that Haelng 45 xt igen ‘Possession was given war in the Police Court, and Judge in €500 security for the grand THLE cee ‘ i | F if I Brick ivy City Srthe New York was not true; that the SOCIAL MATTERS. ‘The Doings of Fashionable People—Recep- tions, Dinners and Personala. ‘and dinners to be given by the President and Mrs. Harrison in January and February, 1892: Friday, January 1, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Presi- dent's reception.
