T8 Ml Rne Toga Wear- and ls Very 1siand's He fas Plenty Charitable Blue Brood ers from Dakora The New Senators. (Copyrighted 188 by Frank G. Carpenter.) Wasnisaros, Dec. 10.—[Special pondence of Trr BEe, | —The new senators | have their seats in the back row. They the bables of the scuate, and like good littl Dabies, they will for a time be expected to be secn and not heard, 1 asked Senator Sher man the other day a8 10 what the senators from the new states would do during the presont session, He replicd that he sup- posed that they would follow the regular rule in the senate, which 18 that a senator shouldnot, appear very much on the toor nati he has remained a year or so in the senato. As to this, however, a majority of the men aro from the wild and wooly west. They have sorouted up in a night hke Jonah's gourd, and they may introduce their western methods in thesenute and come to the frout at the start, What a 1ot of them there are! The senate has not had such a crop of babies before since the days of its organi tioi. Six are alrendy hero from stutes n yet a year old, and Montana is striviog har to add two more to the litter. There number of year old infants among the these are the members who saw to 8ix weeks 1n the senate during the ext sion of last March. Corres. A 808 Somo of them already put on the older senators. McMillan of Michizan holds down his seat with us much composure as Senator Edmunds himself, und Higgins of Delaware bowis about_the chamber with three times the sand of Eli Saulsbury, whom he suc- ceeds. Senator MeMillan takes the place of Thomas M. Patmer, who is now minister to Spain. He has Palmer’s seat 1 n the center Oé tho republican side of the chamber, and though hie has not as much flesh as Palmer, they consider him in Michizan one of the prainy men of the state. He is a richer man than Palmer and he begins his life in Wash- ington with amansion even biggerthan that of his predecessor. He bought the Galo house, opposite the Portland flats, and just below where Senator Allison lives, and p £80,000 for it. This house 1s an doublo brick of four stories, Senat Millan bus added to it since he boueht i it is now one of the biggest and finest houses in Washiogton, 1am told that McMillan’s income ranges between $100,000 and §200,000 a year, and this, added to his senatorial salary, will enable him to entertam in fine style. He is said to bo worth from $3,000.000 0 38,000,000, and he is a fine piece of sen- atorial timber in more senses of the word than one. He owns pine lands and planing mills, has 1ron mines and railway stocks, and is largely interested in the ¢ orks at Detroit. The most of his money has been made ir building raiiroad cars, and he was a partner with ex-Congressmun Newbur, car building. He started life as purchasing clerk in the Detroit, Grand Haven & Mil- waukee railrond, and by sharp, shrewd business sense and industry has pushed himself to his present position. He is noted Jfor his executive abiliLy, and head of the state contral committec of Michigan he has pulled the republican party over m: A hard rond. When there was no monoy in the party treasury MeMillan always bhad a hatful to pour out, and he is noted for i generosity in charity as well as politics. He gave not long ago one of the most valuavlo Shakesperean librarics in the country to Ann Arbor university, and he has endowed & homeopathioc hos- pital. He is a church-going man and he has a pew at_ the presidont’s church on Connecticut avenue, Senator McMillan, ‘when he takes off his glasses, looks not uu- like the pictures of Louis Napoleon. He has the same thick gray mustache and imperial, and s face is rather long than square, His glossy iron- gray hair 18 combed up from a high, broad forehead, and as it goes back over the ears 1t lics close to the head in little waves of sable silver. His nose is straight, his eyes ray und his complexion fair. He is of me- slum height and build, carrying himselr with a military bearing. = Ho woars busincss clothes and has the only white vest in the senate chamber. the airs of Senator Higgins of Delaware is that round, rosy, Irsh-looking fullow just back of Mc- Millan, The fine dark-faced man beside him 18 Dixon of Rhode Island, and these two sen- atorial twins are just the opvosites in com- plexion aud make-up. Higgins is fair, light- haired and a pronounced blonde; Dixon 1s a brunette from the glossy locks which are combed well up from his handsome fac to the red of the dark woss rose which mantles his cheek, Senator Higgins has an_ aggressive look about him, and bhe will evidently go about the chamber with a chip on his shoulder, Dixon looks as if he might fichy hard if pushed to it, but he would consider the sitnation and act accordingly. Higgins is the first republican which the senate has bad from whe state of Delaware for genera- tions, and now that be has gotien here he has come to stay, He is building a house near Dupont Circle, where he will entertain with his vwo nieces, Miss Higging and Miss Corbett, He is a-bachelor, but does not like hotel life, and at Wilmington, where he lives when away from Washington, he has a house of his own, Senator Higgins is just in his prime, and the fuzzy balduess which is beginning to creep into bis head is 1o sign of loss of vigor. Heis forty-nine years old, and is one of the weleducated wen of the senate, He graduated from Yale at the time the war broke out, studied law at the Harvard law school, and was admitted to the bar in 1864, He is a lawyer with a_fine practice,and is worth, I am told, about $100,- 000. In politics he is a bitter partisan and an all-day hustler. Ho believes in fighting, d xhe democrats say he is trying to Ma* honize Delaware, Sevator Dixon of Rhode Island takes the lace of the Quaker senator, Mr. Chace. He one of the flnest-looking men of the senate and he has in his veins some of the bluest blood of New gland. His grandfatber was & senator in 1840, when Harrison was elected president, and nator Dixon claims on the account of this coincidence the rnght to a hirst cousinship with President Harri son, His father was a member of congress in 1549 and he was again in congress from 1863 until 1870, when he declined a re-elec- tion, The newspapers, in telling the story of Senator Dixon’s life, have repeatedly rep- resented him as being own father or his grandfather, and the truth as to the senator's cougressional record is that he has served no term in congress except the three weeks when ho was elected to take the place made vacant when Chace resigned and was elected to the senato. Mr, Dixon's first name is Nathan Feilows. This was the name of his father and his graudfather. He is & lawye were his grandfather nd h fathor, and he graduated at Brown university, as all of his ancestors did. ‘The senator lives in Westerly, a quiet little town of ubout 11,000, on the edge of Connec- ticut. e has his wife with him at Wasb- inglon, and the two livo at the Arno, A day or two ago two magnificent floral offerings were placed on the desks of tho senators from South Dakota. The one in 1ront of Senator Moody was a lyre made of 10806, and upon its foot in golden imunor- telles were these ilottors “GIDEON BAND.” That in frout of Senutor Petti~ grew was a fish, which covered nearly the whole of the desi, and upon which was the word “PICKEREL. 'Moody's name is Gideon O. Moody, aud Pettigrew is called the pickerel statesman. I asked one of Pet- IJ{.MW'I western friends the other day as 1o what kind of & man this uew sonator was, He replied in the dialect of Sioux Fall *'He's a jim dandy, und don’t you forget it. He's a thoroughbred, and I can tell you you can's find any flies on him.” In common phrase, however, Seuator Pettigrow is a slight, straight long-faced wan of about forty-one years of sge. He has a sallow complexion, bright blue eyes and a tigh nar- row forehead, uo from which is combed brown bair & trifle_longer thau the couven- tionul cut. Senator Peitigrew 1s about five foot teu inches bigh, and bo weighs, 1 judge, sbout one hundred snd forty pounas. fis dressos in gray business clothes of the salt THE OMAHA DAILY BEE and pepper variety, and he prides himaolt on th fact thot the cloth for these clothes was made at his own woolen mills in South Da- kota, and were built by a South Dakota tatlor, Senator Pettigrew was born a Ver- mont yankee. At the age of seventeen he moved to Wisconsin, graduated at Beloit col and_ studiod law in company with ohn 8. Spoonor, who sits just in front of him in the senute chamver, “He wont to Dakota as a laborer in the employ of the United States acputy surveyor, and when he came into the state he had only £140 in_his inside pocket, and this money he had bor- rowed from his sister.

Much of the road passcd through slonghs, and in such cases he had 1o take off the iumber and carty it through on his back for fear he would stall his wagon. Ho saw that Sioux Falls was bound toben big city, and in the words of his Dakota friond, he “‘stuck in his toes stayed there, ' He began as a surveyor, law yeraud real estate agent, and he has blos- somed out into u big capitalist, He is worth about three quarters of u million doliars and he owns lands and stocks, street railways and a woolen mill. Ho has a soap factory which kes, he says, enough soap every year to wash the democratic party clean, and his investments are of such a pature as to eventually mako him a very wealthy man. He lives hero not v v from the capitol, and hus rented a house which ho has fur. mshed himself. e will makon good busi- ness senator, and he is no stranger to Wash- wnglon, Senator Moody is o much olde Senator Pettigrew, und his hair a8 white as the driven oW, nas already gotten down - to work and is devoting himsell to pushing the irrigation schemes of the great northwest. One of the brightestof the litte o boys of the seuate rejoices also in the name of Moody, and he is a son of the sens tor. Away to the right of the senate chamber in the farthest corner from the front door, is a tight, clean cut, boyish looking young man who looks more like a_cierk or a ‘messcuger na United States Senator. Ho has a high, narrow forchead, a pair of bright eyes looking out over a straight, clean cat nose, a smooth shaven face, with the exgeption of au incipient brown mustache, and his cheoks aro as rosy 6s thosoofa girl. He is about fivo feet nine inches 1n height, weighs 150 pounds and looks fifteen years younser than heis. This man is Senator Allen of Walla Walla, of the state of Washington. He 18 the boy senator of this body, for though he is forty-four he docs not look over twenty- five, and you would never take him for a midulo John Beard Allen is an Indi who had a college education, served in the army, moved to Minnesota when the war was over and after studying law thore went to Washington ter~ ritory, just niu ars ugo, to practice. He was appoint oneral Grant us United States att; o territory, and he is s to be a fine law und a man of avility. He is a good apeaker and a diplo- mat. Senator Allen's ¢ 10 in the senate is Senator Watson C. Squire. He stands there at the back of the senate chamber with his hand on bus chair. Tall,straizhtand well formed, he is one of the handsomest men in congress. His black hairis combed back forehcad, the center of ging on baiduess, aud his luxuriant black mustache shows out under one of those large noses which ave charac- teristic of great men, His eyebrows are black and well marked, his eyes are black, shining and liquid, His cheeks have eno: iron in them to add a tinge of redness to his brunet, cowplexion, and he _ im- es you as a4 man of ability. Sena- tor Squire showed himself a man when he put down the Chinese mob during his gov- ernorship of Washington territory some vears ago. Ho proved himself a good busi- ness man when he was at the hdad of the Remington gun works at a salury of $10,000 a year, und he added 1o his business reputa- tion aid_his own comfort when he moved west to Washington territory and by his in- yestments at Seattle made himsclf many times millionaire and engaged in undertaic- 1ngs which now net him more than twice the president’s salary every year. ‘The papers made much of his coming to Washington in a special car. He referred to this tho other day in conversation and said he only took tho special car because his wife was not well, and_he paid_for it.out of his own pocket. Senator Squire studied law with Rufus P, Ranney of Cleveland, O. He is not a new man to_many of the senators, for he has entertained many of them at his So-, attle home, and he is, Lam told, the soul of hospitality, man than an which is just v Senator Washburn has returned from Europe looking very well, and I understand that s business matters aro in such a shape that he will pay 100 cents on every dollar he owes, His health has been restored by his summer in Burope and his term in the sen- ate will give him all the rest he needs, He is, like all his family, a mau of good business aoility, and his {riends yet predict that he will leave a fortune when ho dies. His house in Minneapolis is mortgaged, I amn told, for more than $100,000 and he bas put his propercy into the hands of his creditors to manage it for them. Senator Washburn comes from one of the best business towns in the country, as well as from a family noted for the statesmen it has produced. Senutor Washburn is the youngestof seven brothers, all of whom have been more or less noted and all of whom made fortunes. Elihu B, Washburn, ex-mimister to France, and for a long time congressman and ' senator, and secretary of the treasury, left more than a milhon. He administered on a large part of his estate before he died, and_among his bequests was one of $500,00 to be invested for the use of his two sons. Cad- watlader Washburn, who was governor of Wisconsin und who was a noted general dur- ing the war, made a fortune in timber lands, built the big flour mills in Mioneapolis and died worth $4,000,000, and others of Senator Washburn's ' brothers have done almost equally as well. They huve all been noted for their charity as well as for their money making capacity, and Cadwallader Wash- burn left fully a half million to various char- itable institutions, They have all been proud of their fumily and they still own the old homestead at Livermore, Me, They had added to 1t and besutified it during their parents’ lifetime, and when it was de- stroyed by fire o few years ago they rebuilt 1t at a cost of over $50,000, Tam told that the Washburns get their ability from their mother, whose name was Putty Benjamin, and who was & very bright womgu, The family on the Washburn side dates back to Jobn Washburn, who was secretary of the Plymouth colovy in England, and there was one of this man’s descendents, the grand- father of the present senator, who served a8 & captain o the revolutionary war, The present senator does not look at all like the ate Klihu B. Wasnburn, He has the ap- runruu(‘u of u_Presbyterian preacher, and s side whiskers are of severs and formal cut. Huhas a face so clean cutas to be almost cluss| His nose is large and on the Grecian order, His eyes are biue, uad his iron grey hair is combed well up from a high forehead, He dresse ) stutesman’s black, with & frock coat and wears a stand- g collar. He is a man of ability and will make himself felt in the senate, ‘The last two senators to be sworn, and the two rawest and reddest babies in the sena- torial nursery, are the new men from North Dakota, Seuator Gil Pearce is a bald-headed senatorial baby, He weighs 200 pounds and is tall, well flled out and fine-looking. He bas & big head, the foreheaa of through the ravages of time is fast creeping up to the crown. His features are clear cut, his nose is aquiline and under it there 1s & sandy mustache and goatee. He is quick in action, has & good address and is, though a westerner, a thorough man of the world. He is a man of pronounced abiliny and he has had a life which is full of romance. He was born st Springville, N. Y., served in the army and towards the close of the war was appoluted as inspector of tho quartermaster's department, He settled in Indiana after he left the army and made & repu- tation s the editor of & pmper at Valparmso. He was elected to tho legl lature us a republican, and was back again in the editorial ohair in 1572 when Mr. Hal ford, the private secrotary of the president, started the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Halfor wrote Pearce and asked him to write some editorials, The future senator complied,and these editorials bogan to attract atiention. Oune of thew was & powerful article of th antithetic order, comparing ut - snd Greoley, aud showing that as Grant was #roat with his sword,so Greeley was equally @roat with his pen. This article attracted | sud it was here that he fell He did invest it, | to | | dia the attention of Mr. Scannon, the proprietor y of the Inter-Ocean. He came into the office and asked who wrote it, and at once sug- gested that Mr. Pearce be brought to Chicago and_puton the editorial force of tne paper. Tater on he ias sent down to Washington to writo editorial cor- rospondence for the Tnter-Ocean from hore in with Prosi- dent Arthur and received the appointment of governor of Dakota. ‘The day he reccived this appointment Mr. William E. Curtis, the manager of the pan-Amerioan delogates, sont n noto signed with Pearce’s name to Mrs, Pearce, telling her to have a good din ner a8 the governor of Dakota would dine with hor that evening. Mrs, Pearce, suppos- ing that the note was gonnine and that the governor was some noted poerson whom she not know, made great preparations. When her husoandcame home sho asked him where was the governor of Dakota. He pointed to himself and showed hor the nows- paper account fu the Star of his appontment Senator Pearce is one of the literary sena. tors of the body, and he adds another book writer to the chamber. He has written a number of dramas and plays, some of which hiave had a very fair ran.

He looks more like a N York literary man than a Dakotan, a hands are long and thin and scholarly. is aman of fine calture, speaks French as- well as the elish, and nis tendencies in the past have been entirely contrary to those of the politician. He comes to the senate through the deadlock of the legislature. and he was elected by the vote of the farming olement, Scnator Casey is one of the bix gest farmers of Dalkota, He lhas the manage- meut of over three hundrod thousand acres of land for a western land agency and he has made a reputation for the, work he has done in the discussion of the i tion question. He believes that the big lake underlying Da- kota covld, by artesian wells, make millions of ucres now worth comparati little, blossom like the rose, and the farmers send him here exveeting that he will urge on irri gation matters. Senator Casey 18 a good business man, He comes from Buffalo orie- mally, and be there married Miss Hattie Platt, the daughter of the great oyster canner. Mr. Platt shipped ters. all over the \est a fow years ago. He haa his branches at Baltimore, Buffalo, St. Louis and Chicago and he made a fortune out of the business.

From Baltimore he went to Detroit about ten years ago and be- came interested in the iron furnace business in cornection with the com: for whom he now manages the western lands. He was sent out to Dakota five years aco and his election as senator was, 1'am told, a surprise to him as well as to the' politicians.
