WASHINGTON, Feb. feature of the day in the Senate was the acceptance of the statue of Fran- ces E. Willard, which has béen placed in Statuary Hall by the State of lili- nois. There are about forty pedestals in the hall, but the statue of Miss Wil- lard is the first of a woman to find a place there. Addresses eulogistic of Miss Willard were made by Sepatcrs Cullom, Bev- eridge, Dolliver and Hopkins. On mo- tion of Cullom the statue was accept- ed as “the statue of one of the most | eminent women of the United States.” At the close of the ceremony the Sen- ate, as a further mark of respect to| Miss Willard’s memory, -adjourned | until to-morrow.

Willard in Statuary Hall In anticipation of the ceremonies a vast number of women and school children, mostly girls, thronged the Heuse corridors during the day, pass- ing out into the hall to view the statue. Speecheg extolling the life and déeds of Miss Willard were delivered by Rep- resentatives Fggs, Graff. and Rainey of Illinois and Littlefield of Maine. Art Critic at Portland Fair.

The Democratic Central Committee met to- night and decided to hold a convention and put a full ticket in the field. The tepublican Central City Lommittee | 1ast night took similar action. | Edward Roberts, president of the San Bernardino National Bank and chair- man of the Republican Central Com- mittee; Stephen Kelley, postmaster and State central committeeman; R. C. Harbison, chairman Congressional Committee, and Harold Barnum, ex- chairman of .the city Republican Cen- | tral Committee, have been for many | years past opposed to the State or- ganization. With them\is A. G. Ken- dall. Committee, called by petition, Barnum announced that he had filled two va- cancies on the committee, and from the chair he filled 2 third and asked the committee to approve his action. Eleven members of the committee balked, and when Barnum, Roberts and | | the others retired, their places were | declared vacant by the stalwarts, who | filled the vacancies and made Dr. J. | M. Hurley chalrman. The Kelley faction has been hitterly fighting the State organization since the election of Senator Flint. Kelley wanted -to be made collector of the port of San San Francisco and Har- bison aspired to succeed Kelley in the local postoftice. Bard’s defeat blocked the schemers, hence the present fight under the guise of moral reform. ————— Dr. Keck Has Returned From Europe. Resumes practice, Jas.
