10 THE OMAHA DAILY STORIES OF THE DIPLONATS Who and What They Are and How They Look. MINISTER DOUGLAS AND HAYTI, The Islanders Fear Annexation and Dislike Our Representative— Asked After “Grandma Victorin." Gowsip About the Diplomats. (Copyrighted 1890 by Frank G. Carpenter.) ASHINGTON, Jan, ~ |Special to Tur B The two senators from Montana whom the publicans ha ve eclected are as different as the poles, They have hardly an attri bute in common and according to s Montana men one is as great as the other1s small. T! big man is Sanders and the little m is Powers, Sanders is tall, angular, black eyed and black-Laired. He reminds one of Abraham Lincoln and he has as much magnctism ames G. Blaine. He 18 a great orator and tie holds his audience in the hollow of s hand five minutes after’ he nas tirst opened his mouth. He excells especially in the vindictive and he has a poson tag at the end of his tongue equalizes into that which supplies the vitriol which spurts forth from the mouth of John J, Tngalls. He is well up in English literature, quotes from poets as though he had " been raised with them and is one of the great lawyers of the northwest. For the twenty odd years dur- which he has lived in Montana he hus been a noted man and he has done more to crystal- aze civilization in the great northwest than any other Montana citizen. He settled first At a little mining cawp and moved from there to Virginia City, Ile was practising aw in this mining settlement during tho stormiest duys of Montana, when every man carried his life in his hand, and the road agents ruled the territory. The sheriff be- longed to a band of robbers and road and juscice was unknown uuntil one day ders called the miners together, denounced the robbers and organized a vigilance com mittes and a set of mining courts. He pushed this organization so that he was sventually able to clean the robbers out of thie country, and this was not done before there were i numnber of hangings and not a few bloody shooting affrays. Sonator Sanders made mo: re- in Virginia City at the law. He made moro at Helena and now at the uge of fifty-six he worth about $200,000. He was born in Ne York and married bis wife in Ohio where L was admitted to the bar. Mrs. Sanders 1s o very bright woman. She is widely traveled, cultured and dignified, and she will, I am told, be one of the leading figures of Wash- ington society. She is now presiding with grace over the fine residence of Senator Sanders in Helena, and sne is very proud of her threo grown p sous, the youngest of whom just graduated from "~ Exeter col- lege. s TOR POWER AND 1118 $50,000 PALA Senator Power is a trifle older than San- ders. He is a little, rapid. nervous business man who started life as un Indmn trader up the Missouri river many years ago, and who has been engaged ever since then in trading with the Indians, the whites and the gov- ernment, and has’ made it pay. He 18 worth three or four hundred thousund dollars, and has a big agricaltural implement. establish- ment at Helena with branch ‘establishments throughout the territory. Hu is bullding one of the finest houses n the northwest. It is an immense marble structure trimmed with granite and red sandstone, and 1t is to cost #80,000. The red sandstone trimmiugs are exquisitely carved, and iv will take all of next year to finish them. “The house con- tains” about twenty-tive rooms, and it con- 818ts of two stories, a basement and an attie. About six years ago Senator Power got the political bee in his bonnet. Why it attucked him no one knows, for he is no speaker and b heretofore had no political _con- mections. He became a candiaate for congress, and was, later on defeated by Governor Toole In the cam- paign for the governorship. It was his defeat bere that formed the chief reason for his élection to the senatorship. HOW PUMPKINS AND FAT CATTLE BELL GOVERNOR OF OMIC James 1. Campbell wil be inaugurated governor of Ohio next week, lHe owes his position 1o his appreciation of pumpkins and fat cattie. 1t was this element of his nature that made hin successful in his first congres- sional eanpuign and he thereby got the vrominence that makes him today tue greatest man in Obio Campbell’s opponent during his first congressioual campaign was ex-Congressman Little, whom President Harrison appointed this summer as o member of the Venezuelan commission. Little 18 @ tall, sober = aristocras, who belongs to one of the influential MADE CAM - « fanalies of his county und who cousiders himself far above the ordinary run of mor- tals, He had represented the district=in «congre8s and he had no dount of his re-elec- tion. He did not mix much with the cow- mon people, and wward the last of the cam- paign when he and Campbell sboke together at a big agricultural fair he made a scholarly oration on the intricacies of the tariff while Campbell devoted his talk to the glories ot the agricultural show and oiled his tongue on tne fatness of the cattle and spoke glowing words on the rich yellow golden hue of Greeno county pumpkins, After the speeches were over Campbell went around the fair grounds and snook bands with the farmers. He talked with Farmer Simpkins ubout his winter wheat and praised Mrs. Jones' yellow butter. He chucked the cous try maidens uader their chins, kissed all the babies without regard o scx, and shook hauds with old and young alike, Mr. Laule strutted about the grand stand and reccived the congratulations of his friends uvon his tine effort, and when his friends begged him to 1come out in the evening and help the crowd Jfire off rockets aud_sample Cincinnati lage r he gravely remarked: ‘“Lbat the veople must have their sports but that thoy would enjoy them more if gentlemen did not miu- :&lo with them.” He was not to be rooted from his hotel parlors and the ring polivi- clans of his party swore roundly us they saw Farmer Campbell doiog his political mi. ing. This same kind of a campaign was managed by Campbell throughout the whole district and the result of tho vote was @ greater surprise than that which came after lhe ~election of pious Dick Bishop S0mMe years ago. Bishop was the greatest mixer Ohio had ever known but Campbell 15 bis equal. He was elected to congress and the change in the vote about tbe agriculture fair showed Ohio pumpkins will beat patriotism avy day in the week, HOW EX-MINISTER LANGSTON LEARNED FRENCIL T'he Hon, Fred Dollglluu. according to some authorities, seems to be having a hard time in Hayti and be would make & much better minister if he had a thorough knowledge ot the French laugunge. The Haytisns speak French and this is the diplomatic tongue of the court, Kx-Minister Langston twld me the other day of his dificulties in this regard at the beginning of bis wjssion and how he flnally surmounted them, Said he: had & young white man as my secretary, ‘who was a comblete master of both Spanisa aud French, and I supposed that I would be nble to got along through him. At the first meeting of the diplomats a case very impor- taut to the United States was presented. [t ‘was given iu the Spanish language, and the dscussion upon 1% bad to be conducted in French. 1 could not utter a word in either language, and I remembered with regret an opportunity which Charles Sumner had of- fored me but which I had refused. He had told me that I would some day probably be valod upon to take a foreign mission, and that I ought to known French, If you care to_try I will teach you, he said. 1 was, however, busy at the time, and had no ided thet I would be,seut abroad. At his meetiog of the diplomats 1 saw that I ust waster French or I could mHot do efticient service, I was asked for 1wy opmnion and 1 said in English that the caso was very im= portant to my government and that I would ilke to have ntil 10 o'clock the next day to put my opinfon in writing, 1was given the Spanish papers and I took them nome and had my secretary read them over to me. [ wrote my opiuion in English and my secre- tary translated it into Fronch and 1.gave it to the assembly. That day, however, 1 de- cided that if 1 could not master French in six montha I would throw up my mission. 1told my secretary so and he became my teachier. From then 1 ate, drank, slept and thought of notnjnz but French, 1 studied all the time and practiced on every man, woman and child I met. There was no laborer or beggar 8o low upon the street that 1didn't “Bon jour, monsieur,” to him and there was uo woman 8o ragged that I aid not accost her with u Irench phrase longer or shorter as 1 was able to mnko it. The resvlt was that1 had a good hold on the language before my six months were up, and upon the death of the French envoy at.Hayti during the latter part of this time 1 delivered an eulogy upon nim, My culogy was published in the newspapers, and it was copied intothe journals of Paris and com- vlimented by them.” WIY MINISTER DOUGIASS 1S UNPOPULAR 1N HAYTL 1 asked Prof. Langsfon as to the objec- tions of the Haytians to Minister Douglass on account of his color, He said: “I don't think there cftn be any objection raised to him on that ground, nor on_the ground of his having u white wife, Nota few of the most noted people of the island are blacks who have white wives, nud this was the caso of the late 'President Salomon. [ once heard Salomon make a speech defending himself ogainst the charge that ho was opposed to the mulattoes, He smd: "I am a black man myself and n wife is a white French woman and 1wy v president is n Haytian as white as any Cau- casian, 1 challenge anybody 1o say that [ have any feeling against any one on account of his color.” N <1 don’t know that Minister Douglass is unpopular in Hayti,” continued Minister Luugston, “but 1f he is 5o it is beeause the Haytiaus' are very jealous in regard to the annexation or saic of any part of their isiand to the United States and they may associate Douglass with such schemes. He was sent to0 Sunto Domingo with Hen Wade and other American statesmen to report as to the ad- visability of its aunexation. He now goes back to the country on u war vessel and his crotary, Mr. Bassett, was, as consul al ¢ York, in the pay of the party which is now out of power in Hayti. It may be that the Haytians fear Douglass. [ do not know. HOW THE RUSSIANS ARE STEATING CHINAL Rear Admiral Shufeldt, who has juss r turned from Javan, in speaking of the po: sibility of IRussia objecting to the Chinese gaining control of Corea, tells the following story us to how the Russiaas have boen out witting the Mongolians aa to the bound between Siberia and China. “The means of communication are so poor in Ching, and the avenues of vews are s says Admiral Shufeldt, “‘that it is im- e for the Chinese to keep track of the goings on in theirprovinces. Tho Russians have bee ¢ inching on the Chinese, Every will send a regiment of C sacks with taeir families about ten to fifteen miles mto China, This regiment will settle down, take up the land and cultivate it. They take up -the boundury stones as they sottle down and put thewm at the edge of their sottlements, and the next y another regiment comes along, takes up the land below and moves the boundary stones furthor on towards Peking. These encroach- ments have been goini on for years and the Chinese cannot understand the perpetual shrinkage of their northern froutier. ANOTHER DIPLOMATIC EPISODE, 1 heard from a diplomat at Peking how the last treaty was made between Itussia and Chioa. At the treaty conference the Ru sians brought forth a map nearly as big a library table and upon this was a big line which marked the boundary betwi Siberis and China. This line wave the Rus- siaus a vast amount of new territory and the Chinese, as they looked at the big map,threw up their hands in holy horror and said that though they were willing to give away somo of th ds they could not think of allow- ing such a vast slice of territory to go. The were anxious to make atreaty but they could lenot give away a fifth of their empire. Al right,” suaid tho Russian diplomats, “all right, we will make a new proposi- tion,” and with that they brought a new map of about the size of a sheet of note pa- per, but upon which the red line marking the boundary was on the very same latitude as on the library table map. “Oh, that is all right,” said the Clinese, “That'is moro reasonabie, and wo give you that much rather than fight.” AMERICAN DIPLOMATS 1N CHINA. Some of the diplomats whom the United States have sent to Chia have been rure birds, I heard all serts of stories about them during my Visit tothe country lust year. One of our consuls at Ninepo, south of Shunghi, was present at a dinner given by the English consul to the two Wons of the princs of Wales, who stopped there on their way around the world. The Awmerican consul shook bauds with the young princes and threw his vrm around’ one of their shoulders us he said ““Wall boys, %0 you are the sons of Whaics, and how did torial L hopa 1 your grandua, V she is fecling well and 1 want youto take wy regards to you when you go back.'' Another consul in the interior of China was represented to be in a chronic state of iutoxication and the stories of General Moseby and his lack of a aress suit ure known to ull. Speaking of Fred Douglass and the charge that he loses social prestige in Hayti by hav- ing his wife do clerical work for him, recalls a story which Admiral Shufeldt tells me of one of our consuls to Cuba at the time he was consul general at Havana. 'his man,” said the admiral, “drove the stage during the intervals of his consular work."! Another of our ministers to a South Amer- ican count brought us son along with him and got bim o place asa mechanic in the town where he was located and he tried to et his daughter a place in the publie schools but the government to which he was sent refused 1o allow it. Anotber minister pra ticed 1wedicine at the same time he was act- ing as minister, and not a few of our consuls 1 out-of-the-way ports are engaged in busi- ness. MINIST 1 LMER'S ANBITION, It has been reported that Thomas W. Pal- mer, our minister to Spain, will probably re- sign his mission in July, but his reasom for doing s0 Las not been given. 1 am told by a Micbican congressman that he proposes to make a campaign for the governor- ship of Michigau. Said he: *'Senator Palmer would 'like to bave his name KO down into bistory as the first native gov- ernor of his state. He prides himself on his Michigan birth and he owns the same land now which his grandfather took out not long after the end of the revolution. Palmer made his first reputation us a speaker as a candidate for the governorship. ‘This was a number of years ago, There were four gub- crnatorial ‘candidates and among them were Stockbridge, now in the United States ser- ate, Thomas W, Palmer and Gov. Jerome ‘Theé contest in the conveution waus very close but Jerome was finally mominated, The defeated candidates then had to go to the platfortn and make speeches supporting the nomination. Palmer made the best speech of the trio, He said it was haraly fair 10 ask 4 man to speak at his own funeral, but that his situation was the same toduy as was that of Honaparte's soldier, who, wounded well nigh unto death, had* fallen i the ranks and had been left by the roadside on that famons retreat from Moscow. He lay dying, and as Napoleon rode by ne raised his bead and shouted, ‘Vive lompereur.’ It is the same with me,” said Senator Palmer, “I have fought hard; I am wounded nign unto death, but as long as I exist I will shout Vive la republican party and long live our candidate, Mr, Jeroma,’ " The speech was. in fact, an eloquent one, It was copied throughout the state and ex- tracts from it found a place in many of the leading uewspapers of the country.” It put Palmer to the frout as one of the great spoakers of Michigan, and it had something to do with makiog him senator a few years later. At the time of his election to the senate, ex-Senator Ferry and Jay Hubbell were candidates. The coutest wus close and Palwer came in as a compromise. Fraxg G.
