Turned It to Account. UTALKS" AT WASHINGTON. Edmurids is Very Frigid—Row One Reporter Got Ahead of Blame-- Sherman Very Approachable— Justice Gray's Snobbishness. Interviewing Congressmen, Conyright 18%. by Frawl G, Carpenter. Wasmxaron, March —|Special to Tne Bee. |—The tempest in the senatorial tea pot which has been raised as to the reporting of the secret sessions by tho newspaper corre- spondents is by uo means new. livery year Edmunas, Har ind other sena- tors make wild threats against their broth ers who give out the doiugs of the executive sessions to the reporters and the avenues of news are so many tuat the executive ses- sions are more fully reported than the open ones. About threefourths of tiio senators hold confidental relatiaus with the leading nowspaper correspondents and every news- paper man 1w Washington has one cr more men upon whom he can rely to give him ac- cura informatien as to anything before congress. Many senators give out news without kuowing it and an adroit in- Sprviewer is never at a loss for the facts in any case. Senator Edumunds’ position i ro- gard (o executivo sessions is so well known that he 18 seldom approachea by any of the old correspondents. Your reporters now and then attempt to interviow him, and he treats them politely, telling them their mistake and asking for their address, ing that if they will give it he will send them a document that they may read to their advantage, The green reporter there- upon gives his card, aud the next day he gets by mail a copy of therules of the senate, Wwith o blue pencu wark around the follow ibg paragraph : “Any senator or oficer of the senato who shall disclose the secret or contidential busi ness or proceedings of the senata shall be iiable, if @ senator to suffer expulsion from the body if an ofticer to dismissal from tho sery the senate and to punishment for contompt,” Seuator Edmunds SELDOM SUBMITS T0 AN INTERVIEW upon any subject, though he sometimies dic- tates his views upon certain questions bo- fore the senate, and when he does the talk is always worth reading. He often gives iu- formation with the proviso that tue matter shall riot tie used 1 an ir he 18 in this his orother seuators. Ingalls often talks in this way, and his conversations sparkle with iucas graphically expressed He is full of information, is up to the times on every subject and if one can escape hus prohibition to pubhish he 18 good for a column any hour of the day. Senator She wan though-he is said to be cold is always ready to taik to a mewspaper man, He an- swers all questions put to him and gives in- terviews whenever he can, He will not say what he does not. want to and he is perfectly frank and open {n his expressions. He some- times dictates his roplies to the interviewer and he ls nccessible both at the senate and at his home. Leland Stanford is another vory accessible wman and he has as many ideas to the square inch as any other states- man i the country. His head is chock full of information of sorts and 1 have never heard a subject mentioned in his presence upon which ‘he had not something new to say. Heis not afraid to say what he thinks and his talks are always readable. Senator Allison talks readily but he hedges so much 1 his statements s to take the life out of them. He is too much ot a diplomat and he r00sts on the fence. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts never sub. mits to av ioterview, I remember my first experience with him, I was correspondent word.” 1 0 told him that T did not expect to in- terview him by force and thatif he had nothing to eay there was no use in my ask- ing questions. He then told me that he had made a resolution to publisn everything that went from him into the papers over his own signatire and begged my pardon for his secmivg gruffuess. Ho wanted me to stay and look over the cartoons in Puck with him, but I thanked him and left. 1 findsthat the New England senators are, as a rule, afraid to CALL THEIR SOUL THEIR OWN, and tho most snobbish man on the supreme court bench 1s Justice Horaco Gray. He never Bubmits to an terview and be told mo once when I asked him some question about suprome court business that he thought the country would be better served by his attending to the business of the court than by saying what ought to be done as to its improvement. Not long ago u lady cor respondent of Washington was preparing an article on the private liabraries of the capi- tal. She wrote to the leading statesmen who were known to have collections of books and a perwmission to call and see them. I'rom evory man of prominence with the exception of Justice Gray she got a bpolite ans Gray’s reply was formal alnost to rud and it stated that Justice Gray’s librar, been gathered together for other purposes and that the public would be just as well served by uot hearing anything about it, ‘T'his i8 from tho justice of the supreme court who went down tho river with the president 10 au English bunting costume.a month or so ago aud who, when I called upon him, re- ceived me in a silk velvet coat, patent leath- er pumps, o velvet vost and light pantaloons, Senator Dawes of Massachusetts is not averse to an interview and he talks well, Speaker Readuow and then gives a sentence or two to the correspondents, and McKinley is a good friend of the newspaper men. Joo Cannon is full of ideas and ne can grind out @ column an hour, Senator Hawley is very busy, but he is & newspaper man himself and he will talk freely if you catch him at leisure. Wade Hampton never interviews, and the reporter who gets anything out of Joe Brown is a genius. Cushman K. Davis of Minnesota is always ready to give away a good thiug when e has it. [ remember once calling upon him about 8 o’clock 1 the evening. 1was told to wali up to his bed- room, and I found hin with Lis hiead on the pillow and the bedclothes well up to the neck of his frilled nightgown.

Ho s 10 swell s asked for an interview and if he has not some axs of his own to grind he will say that he is very busy just now, but that if you will call upoo him * tomorrow he will be able to tell you whether he can talk or not Senator Joe Blackburn is a good man to in cerviow but s hard mwan to repoft. His language is so flowery that you lose the ideug if you are not carefui and he ought to be quoted just as ne talks to do him justice. Voorheos is cautious, but he often tells a good story, George Vest is full of ideas. He is potafraid totalk and he dictates an ar- ticle as well .as most correspondents can write it. He walks up and down us he dic- tates sud bis words flow freel, PRESIDENT HARRISON UAS GIVEN TERVIEWS as yot. It is not considered etiquetto to ask him questions und the ordinary rule is that a cabivet ninister ought not to be interviewed, Nevortheless Waonamaker talks frequently, Windoiw gives 0ut expressions on sowe sub- jects and Blaine has made one or two ut- terances since he became secretary of stato. Spoaking of Blaiwe and the newspapers, one of the best stories that I bave ever hear in regard to his expericnces with reporters was tola last night on Newspaper row. This subiect of executive sessions was up and a number of the correspondents were chatting about public men and interviews. Smith D. Fry of the St. Paul Glove, described Blaine's adventures with George Nicholas. XO BIG IN- they camo out and saw Blaine go to the ele ator and up to his room. Mr. Nicholas then seut up hs card to Mr. Blaine. The boy re turned immediately and said that Mr. Biaine was not in. Nicholas waited balf an hour and sent up his card again. The same result. He waited anothor half hour and sent up another card, and still Mr. Blawe was not in. By this time he was rather an- gry. and seeing across the street an old Chi- cagoan who looked very much like Mr. Blaine, it occurred to him that he would get even with Mr. Blaine by making this man personate him. Nicholas was a curiwous fel- low. He stuttered in his speech and he was a good deal of o wag. He weat over th way and patted this man on the shoulder and said: *‘How do vou do, Mr. DBluine.? The man looked around and replied: **What is it Nick? What's the lay (" Said Nicholas: “'I have been sent out to interview Mr Biaine, and as you look like Mr. Blaine 1 will interview you,” and he THEREUPON BEGAN TO ASK QUESTIONS. ‘The man took the cue and he answered the int rrogatories in a characteristic manner, sayiug just the things, however that Blame should not have said. He referred m impo- litic terms to General Grant and criticised Garfield. Nicholas wrote up the interview and it was published in the Times. Blaine noticed it the next day when he was traveling somewhere n the cen- tral part of Wisconsin, He was very angry and he telegraphed to Mr. 3torey that he had had no interview with any of s re- vorters ana asked what Lie meant by such an outrageous misrepresentation. Storey grew excived over the telegram. He calied in Saowden and asked who had written that mterview. *It was George Nicholas," re- plied the city editor, “You must discharge him at once,” samd Mr. Storey, ‘‘the interview never ok place and I havo gotten this telegram from Senator Blaine.” Snowden went back to his office and a moment later Nicholas came in, “Well, Nicholas, you're fired,” said Snow- den. ‘‘Blaine bhas telegrapbed that he had notbing to do with that interview ana the old man says you've got to Ro. “Indeed,” said Nicnolas, Blaino and Mr. Storey have not read the interview. It does not pretend to be a talk with Blaine but it expressty states that it is with a man who looked like Blaine,” ereupon Nicholas told the story w Blame bhad ilitreated him, he had sent up his card arate times, aad how Blaine bad refused to sce him. ‘That alters the case,’ said Mr. Snowden, and he thereupon went in to Mr, Snowden, and the two lookeil over the article together and found it was us Nictolas had stated. Mr. Storey was very angry at the treatment of his reporter by Mr. Biaine when he had aone so much for him aud L sked for Nicholas. When Nich- olas came in ho said ‘Mr. Nicholas, if you ever treat a public man that way agan ULl dischiarge you, but for the present you may stay, and vour sal ary will ba $i0instead of §5 per week. Gooa day, Nicholas.” 1 think both It was a short time after this that Nicholas 4 came to Washington, He wus engaged as a reporter on \he National Republican, at the Lead of which was George I>. Gorbam, who hated Blaine wnd who was fighting him. Blaine's batred of Gorbam was equally great, and Blaine would never have thought of giviog an interview to the National Republican. He was building his house here then and spout some hours of each day in watch- ing its construction. Nicholas was seat to interview bim. He watched for the time when he weut out to see his pew house on Depont Circle and just as Blaine entered tue froat door Nicholas jumped down through the coal hole and took off his coat, rumpled up his shirt and io & short time appearcd be- foro Blane in ths ature of a workwa Blaine 18, you know, a very approachable man upou certsin occasions, and Nicholas went up to him and said : “Mr. Blaine, we workmen think some thing about politics as well as other people and do you kuow that ] have been greatly nterested in your great reer, 1 liked ur speeches in Virginia aad as for this #on-0f+a-gun who edits the National Repub- mpaign, and drawa out by questious, ve a long discussion upon the matters cl were of the - most interest to the peoble at that time. As the talk went on, however, he thought his workman seemed to know a remarkable amount for a mau in his position, and sud- topped and asked: 7 the way, young man, who are you?" —I—er, I—am the man who tried to interview you for the Chicago Times in Chicago, but d—d—did not succced. I—T am now in Washington, and I—er write for the Republican.” “To say that Blaine was angry is unoeces- sary. Nicholas left, however, before he exn prossed his wrath in__action, and the next day o long and importaat intarview appearad in the National Republican in which Blaine's views were given to the public in & charac- teristic way. You would bardly find a col respondent in Washington who would at- tempt to get an interview in this manner to- day, and the action of Nicholas would not bo 1 approved of by ewtner editors or correspond- euts. Tho uewspaper correspondeats aro as o rule fully as geutlemanly in tho goetting of their information as the most polite of the statesmen and thera is not a man in the zallery who would betray a confidence or a secret. Most of them ara close in tho _counsels of the publ nd not a fow of them daily keep baclk . tion intrusted to them iu confldenca which might make them money and which often mignt ruin the public men who give it to them. ‘Tho rule, however, in newspaper work is that a public wan, 10 iving un expression to o correspoudent, intends it for publication unless he absolutely prohibits or requests the contrary. One of the funniest inters views of the past three vears was that which was unconsciously given by Senator Ingalls to Mr. Lewsley, then of the Wash- ington Post but now connected with the New York World, Mr. Lewsley was sent to in- terview Senator Ingalls on polities Senator Ingalls did not want to talk and he turned the conversation at every quesiion that Lewsley put to THE BUBJECT OF BHAVING. When Lewsley asked him as to the proa. pects of the party Senator Ingalls remarked that Mr. Lewstey’s beard needed trimming, and “as a friend” told’him *a gentleman could not go through life without shaving least once a day. You should the first thing in' the morning,” said “You will want 4 cup of hot water, and as to the razor——""/ Here Lew *'But, senator, I want to ask yon as to the presidential situ- ation.” “I was speaking of the razor Mr. Lewsley.

Senator Ingails did not object o it until he saw it on one of the advertising pages of Harper's Weekly, The shaviog $0ap wan had taken a picture of Senator In kalls and had paid for a whole page of Har- per’s Weekly for this and the interview ad- rtising his soap.

I mean this,” said Lewsley, aud he there upon handed the senator the paper. lngalls scrawed his double-spectacled eyes close to the paper a moment without speaiiug, and then he ra:sed it up and said: 4 “My God, Lewsley, you've ruined me.’ ©Oh no, I think not,” said Lewsloy. It 1§ just as'you gavo it to me, is it not?” “Yes, i beliove it is,” smd Ingalls, ‘and there is no use in trying to lie outof it. I couldn't afford to enter the ring with a great professional liar like yourself. "I will do one thing, however. [ will prevent the appear- ance of that advertisement,” and thereupon the senator went tohis room and telegraphed to the soap man that if he did not take that advertisement out of the paper he would ba subject to a suit for damages, The result was that the advertisement was dropped.
