He has at no time been Ml, and is now so much improved he expects to start for Albany today. After fifteen years of continuous public service, first as heutenant governor and then as governor of New York, and round- ing up with a full term in the Senate here, Mr. Hill returns to the practice of law and to a political field where for so long a time he was easily the central figure. Of the future he speaks with reserve. But none | of his friends counts him out of the run- ning, and some of them predict for him wn and potent reappearance as the lead- a@ reorganized democratic party. A Tribute to Washington. In conversation last night with a repre- sentative of The Star Mr. Hill spoke pleas- antly of his stay in Washington, and of rany people, both in office and out of office, be had met here. “1 found the climate a little trying in win- ter when I first came,” he said. “I had been used to the colder and dryer winter weather of upper New York. But after the first year I did not notice the change, and since then everything has been pleasant enough. Was¥ington is a beautiful city, and there Is much here to enjoy.

On the subject of the Senate Mr. Hill spcke in cordial appreciation of many of its members, and of the body as a whole. He declared that no la er could serve there without benefiting by his experience. His powers as a debater are necessarily qauickened and improved. Legal questions are constantly coming up, and call for something of the same examination and trea that are bestowed upon them in court. The Senate is a body for debate. Men wha are not lawyers even become good debaters there. It was suggested to Mr. Hill that a popu- lar criticism of the nate related to the lack of a power to co: 1} debate there. 1 sympathize tn measure with that criticism. “There ought to be some such rule and I tried during my term there to have one adopted.

The change, sooner or later, will come, and when {t does come the Senate will be bene- fited. and will wonder then why it was de- layed so long. F ving further to the matter of limit- ing debate, Mr. Hill safd it o wzht not to be too far. tle debate, or debate oo much restricted, in a body like the Sen- ate, would, he . be worse than too much debate Senate. he ended to be a safexnard against haste, or immaturity in legislation, and conse- ently should be left with a free hand, vugh not as free as at present. ‘The Senate a Strong Bor On the sub tof the Senate as now cor r. Hill made it plain that he t ne stock in current criticism of that bod “It is a strong bedy.”” was his phrase, “and no man is so well prepared to assert and maintain that as ene who has had oppor- tunity to study it." Mr. Hill referred to several senators by name in high praise of their particular gifts. and if he spoke moi an onee of Mr. Hoar tt was probably be- ause of intimate service with him on the lary committee. “Mr. Hoar?’ he said, a very able lawyer, and, although a wi partisan, rises above partisanship in ling with broad legal questions as easily man I have ever met.” Having said t a lawyer benefited by ervice in the Senate, Mr. Hill was asked [tf congresstonal sei was not to be recommended to men aspiring to the high exeeutive place Unquestionably,” ak was his reply. “Mat- ters reciprocal. ‘The experience in ex- ecutive office helps in the halls of legisla- fon, and vice versa.

Appreciation of McKinley. This brought the conversation around to Mr. McKinley, and to the fact of his hav- ing served in Congress. Mr. Hill said the President would find his congresstonal ex- of benefit in his new office. He spoke in terms of appreciation of him as a man, and recalled the fact that several years ago, when asked to express himself in print on the subject of the republican prospects for 1506, he had mentioned Mr. McKinley as certain to be a potent factor in the tight. “Upon the whole, then, senator, you have enjoyed your stay?” Will Stand by His Record. “Yes, and realize that I have profited by it. During my first year fn the Senate, as a candidate for my party's nomination for President, I paid the usual penalty. My utterances and actions were at times mis- conceived or purposely misconstrued.

Miss Mary Bannister Willard, who did kindergarten work several months this last winter at the White House, sailed on the Adler last Tuesday for Bremen. She is on perience her way to Berlin to assist her mother in the American Home School for Girls, which Mrs. Willard established there about a flozen years ago. “L have enjoyed the winter's work very much,” said Miss Willard to a New York Sun reporter. “I had perfect liberty to carry out my own ideas, and I certainly couldn't have worked under more delight fu ions. The dozen little folks under my charge were most interesting. The three little Clevelands are charming children and pretty.

Miss Willard is a graduate of the Pesta- lozzi-Froebel Haus in Berlin, and was a favorite pupil of Frau Schraeder,the grand- niece of Froebel, who is now at the head of the school. Naturally, she tried to 1cllow in her teaching the ideas and inethods in- culcated by her German teacher: At is their custom to choose every month a new object for study.

But I don’t think she is at all sorry to quit official life.” Miss Willard’s loyalty to the Clevelands aing before did not prevent her from saying of Mr. McKinley: “He has the most beautiful face. It does not seem to me such a strong face, but it has a very grave, sweet expression that commeends it, and it is iNumined by bright, brilliant eyes. He walks, too, with a springing step and has a dignity of pres- ence that I like.” CHESs. No more games have been played in the champlonship tournament at the Washing- ton Chess Club. It seems to be difficult to get the players together. Napier, the boy expert, is well in the lead in the Brooklyn Club championship tour- nament, with the score of 6% won to Itz lost. Helrhs, the champion for the past two years, has won 4% and lost 1%, with one game adjourned. Mr. Napter is a most promising chess player, but on account of his place of birth is ineligible to play on the cable team. The Washington Chess Cle} is much in- terested in its correspondence games. Three matches are in progress, one with Dayton, Ohio, in charge of E. P. Hanna; another with the West Philadelphia Club, conducted by 8. C. Dunham, and a third with the Brobklyn Chess Club, in which F. B. Walker ts asstated by the club. The lat- ter match 1s nearly completed, while in the other two matches the games are in most interesting situations. ie local olub ts holding its own in most of the games. Chess players in the Eastern and Central have organized their respective teams, and will soon enter into a series of games for the school championship. The Eastern boys captured the honors easily last year, and as they will have the same team this year, with a few exceptions, they will give the Centrals a hard fight. The members of the Central Club are follows: EB. H. Brown, H. D. Baker, A. Chace, 8. M. Clark, K. Krane, M. G. Lanza, S. Paige, L. Turtle and H. B. Wheeler. The Eastern team consists of Messrs. Snell, Freeze, Story, Parson, Rose and Lundy. ee o nati Signs a Short Stop. .

Attaining high rank at an early age, pre- pared by varied training and experience for responsible duties, Commander Walker began to make that impress upon his pro- fession and service which is the real test of ability. He served at the Naval Academy for thr rs as ant to Admiral Porter, superintendent, and in 1S60- 1s70 commanded the frigate Sabine on a special crulse to Europe and Brazil. After a tour of duty as light house inspector he was detailed as secretary of the light hoase board in 1 id that important post for tive years. There his capacity for ad- ministration had full sway, and he reor- ganized the business of the board and es- tablished it upon its present high plane of efficiency. He was promoted to the vrade of captain in IS77. After his detachment from the Hght house board, in 1878, he took dvantage of Jeave of absence to enier the vies of the C. B. and Q. R. R. in an im- portant capacity. Such was the impression made upon the directory of the road by his business qualities that upon the expiration of his leave he was offered the position of treasurer. Resuming his naval duties, however, he was placed in command of the Powhatan, and in 1881 was made chief of the bureau of navigation, and at the expiration of his four years’ term in 1885 he was reappointed. Captain Walker's occupancy of that im- portant office came at a time of unusual movement and energy in naval affairs; when, after standing still for fifteen years and until the navy was reduced to a 7ew superannuated wooden vessels, the building of a modern fleet was begun. In all this work, and in the changes which accompa- nied it, he took a leading part as the sec- tary’s principal adviser, both in planning and in executing. The Squadron of Evolution. He was advanced to the grade of commo- dore in 1889, and in October of that year as an acting rear admiral he hoisted his flag on the Chicago, and took command of the squadron of evolution, our first organ- ized force of the new steel vessels, which soon became widely known as “the white squadron. With this command Admiral Walker first made a cruise in the Mediter- ranean, and in the spring of 1890 went to Brazil to congratulate that nation upon its newly established republican form of gov- ernment. Returning to the United States he cruised north and south, along our own coast, conducting drills and evolutions. When our relations with Chile became scute in the fall of 1891, he was sent to Montevideo to await developments, return- ing again to the United States in 1892, and taking command of the North Atlantic station. He commanded one of the divi- sions of the Columbian naval review fleet in 1893, and hauled down his flag in May of thai year. Promoted to the full rank of rear admiral in January, 184, he became president of the board of inspection and survey. In March, 1894, because of the un- settled state of affairs in Hawaii, Admiral Walker was ordered to the command of the Pacific station, and as such he remained at Honolulu four months, again hauling down his flag at Mare Island, Cal., in August. During his stay at Honolulu the constitu- tional convention was held, and the per- manent republican government inaugurat- ed. His published dispatches form an in- teresting contribution to that period of Ha- wallan history. Chairman of the Light House Board. Shortly after his relief from command of rett. i pd Mrs. Henry A.
