G. BL Siegert & IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “Of course, I speak as an opposing partl- san, but I believe that Goy. Bob Taylor will be the next United States senator from Tennessee,” said Col. G. W. Baker of Nash- ville, who was for four years chairman of the republican state committee of Tennes- see, at the Normandie. “There is quite a feeling for Benton McMillan in the cen- tral part of the state, but I do not believe he will develop strength enough to walk away with the prize. The friends of Thomas, the speaker of the senate, are working hard for Taylor. This is natural, as Thomas would succeed Taylor as gov- ernor should the latter be elevated to the senatorship. The coming session of the legislature is quite likely to be an important one. The question of regulating the taxation of rall- road property has forced itself to the front and will occupy much attention. The last islature passed an act creating a com- sion to assess railroad, telegraph and phone property. Previous to that this devolved upon a railroad tax asSessor. The assessment was about $40,000,000. The new commission increased the as- ng in some instances more than 100 per On tne whole it is 50 per cent greater the former assessment. In other words, Tennessee, with a railroad mileage of 3.044 miles, is sed by the present commission A comparison with other states is quite interesting. Virginia 3,491 miles of railroad, and the property is sted at $48,000,000 in round figures. North Carolina’s 3,707 miles are placed at $25,000,000, while Georgia’: 240 miles are assessed on the basis of $: ‘When the commission attempted to cer- 'y the assessment to the controller to be sent out to the counties, the railroads filed a bill before Judge Clark in the United States district court, asking for an injunc- tion restraining the commission from cer- tifying the ment to the controller. Judge Clark granted the injunction. In his opinion he held that the assessment was and, under the constitution of , Which provides that all taxation e uniform, that the assessment of the railroad property was incommgnsurate With other character of property in the state, and, therefore, was illegal and void. “But he held that the railroad companies must pay into the treasury money due on the basis of the old assessment pending the final determination of the case. This de- cision was rendered pending the considera- tion by the governor of the question of calling the legislature together for the enactment of such legislation as Memphis requires, which is to extend the limits of the city for sanitary purposes. “After Judge Clark’s decision the state Officials seem to be greatly incensed and outraged at ‘ts effect, and Gov. Taylor has embodied in his call 'to the legislature the consideration of the taxation of railroad property. It is ulso believed that the as- sessment for years back has been too low. There is a clause in the governor's cali which substantially asks the legislature to take into consideration such remedial legis- lation as is necessary to prevent the federal courts from interfering with our state af- fairs. than “People of the east have a mistaken im- Pression regarding the Indian nation,” said Senator J. M. La Hoy of Claremore, who is a member of the Cherokee delegation, at the National. “In the Cherokee natfon alone there are 125 primary schools kept up by our government. In addition to these there is an orphan asylum, with 230 in- mates, hign schools, female and male sem- inaries, asylums for the insane and blind and one freedmen’s high school. The in- terest on the $5,000,000 United States bonds held by our nation pays the expenses of our government, and our people have no taxes to pay. “Every person who is interested in hav- ing the Indian nation turned into states 18 interested in land sites. There is a selfish motive back of the whole scheme. Our cli- mate is something lixe the climate of Wash- ington. The wheat harvest comes about June 1, and often we plant corn in March. As to railroads, we have the Missouri, Kan- sas and Texas, the St. Louis and San Fran- cisco, and the K. and A. V., a branch of the Iron Mountain, on the east side. On the west side are the Santa Fe and the Rock Island, and thon there is the Choc- taw, Omaha and Southern running east and through the territory. Gur capital, Tahlequah, has about 2,000 inhabitants. Instead of a governor and Heutenant governor, we have a first and seeond chief. We have a treasurer, secre- tary and auditor, and a senate and house to formulate legislation. Each district has CONGRESSIONAL ATTITUDE. Landis (Ind.) Amrses the House with a forenste bout with bis colleague, Jobnsen. -| March,” its courts. We have district, circuit and supreme courts. Indians have always been on the bench. If any question comes up that pertains to the interest of all the na- tions, an international council is held. Del- egations from each tribe meet for consul- tation. They compose what might be called @ ways and means committee. “A great many think our nations occu- py the same relation toward the United States as the northwest Indian reserva- tions. This is not so. We have a patent fee simple. The land belongs to us; it is ours. Many think we live on a great res- ervation, consequently the government should take charge of it. They think the Indians grow up in ignorance. We have as good school facilities as the United States. We spend more per capita for schools than any state in the Union. “Another great hobby made use of through the press, and a good many of our enemies say the same, is that we have in- vited 300,000 people into the nations. We deny this, and maintain that they are there for the purpose of bettering their condition. Our land can't be sold to outsiders. Any one can make improvements‘in the domain, and can use the land. Improvements can be sold. People from the outside can rent land, but they have no votes there, no po- litical rights. “We have not as much crime as in ad- Joining states. We punish murderers by death. I see that Mr. Dawes, in a lecture before the Pittsfield, Mass., school, a few weeks ago, said that 110 Indians had been hanged for crime in four years at Fort Smith. Mr. Dawes told an untruth. There have not been that many persons hanged at Fort Smith since its establishment, just after the war. Mr. Dawes further said that last summer twelve persons were killed within a mile of his camp in one day. I am a citizen of the Indian territory, but I never heard of it. It must have been kept pretty quiet. I had to come to Wash- Ington to find it out.”” J. 8. Trunkey of Geneva, Ohio, who is attorney for Walter L. Main’s circus, was at the Riggs a few days ago. While here, he called on President McKinley and was also admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court, two events that will enable him to remember his first visit to the capital. “Few persons have any conception of the amount of money expended each year by a big circus to protect itself from inter- ruption,” said he to a Star reporter. ‘When the Main show started out last season, on the second day a young fellow engaged to do a riding act fell from a horse and was dragged around the ring, his head com- ing in contact with several of the stakes with considerable force. He was laid up for a few weeks and his parents began suit for several thousand dollars. “I have just been over to Harrisburg, where the young fellow lived, to try and effect a settlement. You see Main’s circus wants to come through Pennsylvania the coming summer, but with this case unset- tled, there is a_possibility of the show being attached. The delay of a single day means everything to a big show, particu- larly where the management prides itself on never having missed a date except by accident, as was the case at Tyrone, Pa., several years ago, when the circus train was in a wreck, and a number of persons were killed.” Former Attorney General Garland is one of the most patient of men. He is still confined for the greater portion of the time to his roon. in the Colonial, as the result of a broken leg, sustained while on a visit to tal months ago. But he is le. His room is’a rendez- vous for congenial friends, and he counts them by the score. General Garland is a stanch advocate of a university building for the District of Columbia, and he never fails to put in a kind word for the project when an oppor- tunity presents itself. A few evenings ago there was a conference of friends of the project in General Garland’s room at the Colcnial. Among those present were Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, Prof. Newcome, Mr. Strauss of New York and former Gov. Hoyt of Wyoming. The conference was for considering the bill introduced by Senator Wellington, which contemplates an appropriation by Congress for a university bullding and to arrange for the work of bringing the mat- ter into tangible form. A familiar figure about the up-town hotels every forenoon is Justin S. Kirreh, L. H. D., who claims to have the assurance of the present administration that he shall be the next censul to Ezerum, Armenia. Kir- reh is a native of Palestine. He was for two years pastor of a Jewish church in New York, being compelled to resign be- cause of ill-health. During the campaign of 1893 he was general agent for an eastern life insurance company, with headquarters at Cincinnati. He claims to have done yeoman service in behalf of the republican ticket, and this is attested by the fact that both Senators Hanna and Foraker have interceded for his appointment. Inasmuch as there 1s no other aspirant for that Ar- menian post, it is not without the range of possibilities that Dr. Kirreh may have his cherished wish gratified. “I have not seen my parents since I was even years old, and that it the reason 1 choose Armenia,” he said to a Star reporter at the Normandie. “They will be easy of aceess when I get there. And then, I am familiar with the language spoken there.” “A friend of mine who deals in old books has a unique souvenir of the war,” said John I. Vanderveer of Brooklyn, at the Na- tional. “It is the inkstand used by Jeffer- son Davis in the Senate of the United Stal At the beginning of the war the lith New York Regiment was quartered for a few days in the Senate chamber. One of the boys ascertained where the future president of the confederacy sat, and stole the inkstand as a trophy. He sent it back to Brooklyn, und after the war was over wave it to my friend. It now occupies a prominent place on one of the shelves in this old book store. The same ink, only dried, is in the stand.” Eugene Coffin, the popular clerk at Wil- lard’s, is a musician of years’ experience. He was a member of the band that accom- panied the 23d Ohio regiment to the front when President Lincoln made his first call for volunteers in 1861. After the war he Was connected with a number of well- known musical organizations in the country. Coffin has a wide reputation among traveling men because of the musical in- scriptions with which he heads the register at Willard’s each day in the year. His latest fad, and one which is quite likely to be productive of no little amusement, was conceived a few days ago, when a large quantity of bedding was added to the hotei stock. With indelible ink he inscribed a bar of some familiar strain on each sheet, and in such a place that when a guest turns down the clothes to get into bed the music will confront him. Among the songs thus rep- resented in the Willard’s beddii are: “Happy Be Thy Dreams,” “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep,” “Sweetly Dreaming,” “After Tolling Cometh Rest, Where My Love Lies Dreaming, the Stilly Night,” ““Good Night, Night, ‘eddii Beloved,’ “I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halis, What a Difference in the Morning, ‘Let Me Dream Again,” “Of Thee I Am Dream- ing, Marie,” and many others. Coffin’s plan is to first spot his victim and then a note to the housekeeper calling for a certain tune for such a room is all that is necessary to complete his happiness. His first victim was a New York drummer, who drifted in late one night this week with a jag of fair dimensions. The house- keeper was notified, and a bed was placed in order. When the drummer awoke, the first thing that met his as the chorus ot Tony Pastor’s old song, “Oh, What a Difference in the Morning.” It made a hit with him, and he wanted to purchase it tor a Christmas present for a friend. Coffin is considering the advisability of getting his scheme copyrighted. Robert P. Skinner of Massillon, Ohio, the newly appointed consul to Marseilles, France, has been at the Arlington. He is the editor of the Daily Independent, Masil- lon, which is a flourishing manufacturing town, ten miles from President McKinley's home. The Independent is republican in tics; hence the recognition of its editor the present administration. Mr. Skin- ner was a White House caller Monday. He has long been among the President's personal friends, NEW PUBLICATIONS. | FORTY YEARS OF ORATORY. dresse: and 8} Bowen- ji The late Senator Voorfiees Was one of the most notable figures in the American Con- gress during the many years in which he served in the two branches of that body. It is fitting that his oratorical efforts, which were many and scholarly in their Scope and manner, should be preserved in substantial form. These two volumes ac- complish this purpose admirably. They are edited with loving hands, the children of the late senator dedicating the work to the memory of their mother. Of course much of Daniel W. Voorhees’ orgtory was of such a nature that it could not be pre- served, occurring as it did in the course of trials of cases before the courts and in the quick fire of debate. He practiced in sixteen different states of the Union and | was identified as an advocate with some of the most celebrated causes in the late his- tory of American jurisprudence The work is prefaced by a brief sketch of Voorhees’ life by Judge Thomas B. Long of-Indiana. In the first volume are con- tained lectures written by Mr. Voorhees on “The Holy Sepulcher,”’ “Thomas Jefferson’? and “The Public Men of My Own Times.” The first named of these lectures was in- tended by its distinguished author to be @ presentation to the people as a jury of the facts surrounding and following the birth and life of Christ, containing a dem- onstration that man’s reason logically ap- plied to these facts must reach the same conclusion as faith alone. The last named of the three lectures was Mr. Voorhees’ last work, cut short by his death and left unfinished. The complete portrayals con- tained in it are those ef Kossuth, Lincoln and Grant. The remainder of the first vol- ume is composed of some of the most nota- ble speeches delivered by Mr. Voorhees in the two houses of Congress. One of the most striking of these was the speech de- livered in the Senate May 5, 1880, on the Library of Congress. Mr. Voorhees took the keenest interest in the building recently completed for this great institution and it was largely through his efforts that the legislation looking to its construction was enacted. The second volume is devoted to the strictly forensic efforts of Senator Voor- hees, including arguments delivered by him in some of the notable cases in which he was engaged, as well as addresses upon a variety of topics. The celebrated Kilbourn case, in which Mr. Voorhees was counsel for Mr. Hallet Kilbourn, furnishes two chapters. Throughout the two volumes are portraits and illustrations of scenes con- nected intimately with Mr. Voorhees’ life and career. The volumes are handsomely printed and substantially bound and the work of editing has been done with great care. GERMANY'S IRON CHANCELLOR. By Bruno Garlepp. Translated from the orfginal German and edited by Sidney Whitma RG. 3., of the Habsburgs." ‘Teutonic 7 Akron, Ohio: The Werner Company. Washing- ton: R. A. Dinsmore, 621 7th street northwest. This book, truly one of the most magnifi- cent biographical works ever pro- duced in a _ single volume, appears at an opportune time. Prince Bis- marck, it is feared, will not live many years, or perhaps many months. Indeed, almost immediately after the issue of the work the world was startled New Year day by a report of his death; which, though immediately denied, was based upon an all too imminent probability. It is futile to indi- cate the interest the world takes in this remarkable personage.’ Onéof the great- est soldiers of modern history, as well as one of the most remarkable statesmen, Bismarck is today probably as well known to the world as any other human being who has ever lived. Even ‘though retired from active participation in public affairs, he is near to the hearty of kis own people and dear to them as one of the chief found- ers of the great empire of today. It is appropriate, thesefore, that so emi- nent and well beloved an individual should be the subject of a monumental work of the character of the present volume. It 1s luxurious in 1t8 wealth ef illustration. Every phase of Prince Bismarck’s career is illuminated with the, most beauti- fully reproduced portraits, landscapes and scenes, while the work contains reproduc- tions in color of twenty famous paintings, graphically representing dramatic incidents and historic scenes. Many of these illus- trate incidents in the Franco-Prussian war, with which campaign Prince Bismarck’s name {s inseparably associated. There are 650 illustrations in the book, including these double-page color plates. The letter press is fully in keeping with this magnificent array of pictorial richness. The biographer has been well chosen. He tells the story of Bismarck’s busy life with dramatic touches and with a sympathy for his sub- ject. He gives to the volume an historical accuracy not always to be found in bio- graphical works, and he has produced in consequence a volume of lasting value. Every detail of the mechanical part of the enterprise has been carefully performed, with the result that this volume stands as a notable achievement of American book- making. A New English Trans- in Colors Exhibiting the Com- e of the Book. With Explan- Pictorial Tilustrations. — Bi DL Atwlover eal Sensinar. D Washingto : This is a section of the poly-chrome Bible, a work that is intended to piace within the reach of students as well as un- learned readers of the Scriptures copious notes and references to the various sources from which the great work is derived. The poly-chrome feature is a new feature in bookmaking. The text is given on varying backgrounds, the colors indicating, accord- ing to an arranged schecvle, the sources of the matter. The appearance of the sheets is therefore unusual, but not displeasing. The purpose of the editor of this work, Paul Haupt, professor of Hebrew and the cognate languages in the Johns Hopkins University, is to present the Oid Testa- ment in twenty separate parts, appearing from time to time. Judges, Isaiah and Psalms are now off the press. Isaiah is translated by Rev. Canon @. K. Cheyne of Oxford, England, and Psalms by Dr. J. Wellhausen of Gottingen and Dr. H. H. Furness of Philadelphia, the associate ed- itor of the poly-chrome edition. Many years of preparation have been devoted to this work, which is upon a scale hitherto unattempted in the field of Biblical schoiar- ship. The “Authorized Version” of 1611 was the work of English scholars. The “Revised Version” was the production of both English and American scholars, though many of the renderings preferred by the latter were not adopted by the Eng- lish revisers. The poly-chrome Bible is planned as the work of the entire civilized world. The poly-chrome edition will do away with much of the, need of glossaries that is encountered bythe tiilearned read- er of the crdirary versions,“for the trans- lation is in language forms: that can be readily understood by every reader.

But Mr. Kipling’s frequent removals may not be 50 much the result of fickleness as deliberate intention to become familiar with the peo- ple of different countries. No other man has written so prolifically of so many di- verse subjects, but he always shows that his knowledge is more than superficial. If other authors were to follow his studious example and write in a less haph: manner the literary results would be much improved. P ——___+ e+ —___ ‘The Unforgetting Dogs. From the Lewiston .(Me.)
