WASHINGTON , Nov. 29. There will be
eighty-eight senators and 3SO representatives
In the Fifty-fourth congress , upon the political
action of which will depend In large measure
the result of the presidential election of 1SSG.
In the senate a handful of populists will hold
the balance of power , but In the house the
republicans will have an overwhelming ma
jority. Iloth broncho * will contain a quite
unusual number of now men.
Among the new members of the senate per
haps the most striking and picturesque figure
will be Don H. Tlllman of South Carolina , t
populist. A well-to-do planter still on the
sunny side of IK ) , ho has been In public lift
less than ten ycaru , but In that time ha
chattered and broken the ofllce-holdlng arls-
tocracy of his stlto and won national promi
nence as a political leader of forca and shrewd
ness. Than Tlllman the senate will have no
moro daring or effective debater during the
next six years. His favorite topics are "the
'mental profligacy of President Cleveland , the
Iniquity of banks , railroads and other cor
poration ? , the cowardice of the press , the nar
row sophlrtry of the bar , the arrogance of the
federal courts , the righteousness of free silver
and the crying wrongs of the plain farmer. "
Ho declares Hut Mr. Cleveland should have
been Impeached for the part ho played In the
fight against free silver , and declares an In
tention to vote In the satiate for a committee
to Investigate the president's connection wltli
last Hummer's sale of bonds.
Marlon Duller , the now populist senator
from North Carolina , has Just "turned 32 , and
for several years to come will be the youngest
man In. the senate. Since 1SSS ho has been
the populist leader In his state and In a dor.cn
hard fought bittles has proved his shrewdness
and sagacity as a political strategist. A
quiet , unassuming young man. with a pallid ,
thoughtful face , ho has been by turns store
keeper , editor , lawyer and politician , and has
won success In each role. IJutlcr Is not ar

the aennte. -
' Jeter C. Prltcliard , Butler's collcasuo , am
the only "republican yent to Uio semto , fron
.North Carolina In over twenty yeirs. Is alsi
'ft younir man. Ho Is btlll under 40 and hai
taken an active-part-In every campaign In hi ;
, state Btnce he was 18 years old. He la a moi
of real ability nnd one of the best stuini
speakers In the south. Ho Is above six fee
In height and as erect as a grenadier.
NOTABLE REPUBLICANS.
None of the new republican senators hai
played a larger part In affairs than SUphei
B. Elklns of West Virginia , who In twentj
years has amaswd a fortune reckoned at ai
many millions. But Senator Elklns 1 :
much more than a mere * money getter. Ii
his earlier years he was a lawyer , and i
good one , too , and all hla life ho has been
a constant reader of books. Ho reads Latin
Greek and Hebrew , and , though one of tin
busiest of men. finds time to keep up his
acquaintance with the best modern authors.
Ho began his public career In 1873 as a
delegate In congress from New Mexico , and
later was for many years the Intimate
friend and most trusted lieutenant of the
late James 0. Blalno. He helped to nomi
nate Blalno In 1SS1 , nnd afterward managed
his campaign for the presidency. In 1S8S
lie was one of UIQ men who brought nbout
the nomination or Harrison , who later made
him a member of the cabinet. Senator
Elklns , who li now 51 , would attract at
tention In any assemblage however notable.
Ho la nbout six feet In height ,
broad shouldered and well proportioned.
Ho has a strong face , always clean
shaven , and gives one. at a. glance the Im
pression of great physical strength nnd men
tal activity. Ho has matured and well
donned views on all public Questions , and ,
an attractive and forceful orntor. can always
defend them with vigor' and skill.
Thomas H. Carter , the new senator from
Montana , In his forty years of life has
managed to gain iinil hold a largo share of
public attention. Carter Is an Ohio man by
birth and has thus far enjoyed the Ohio
man's proverbial luck In politics. As chair
man of the republican national committee
In 1892 ho munngi'd Harrison's second cam
paign for the presidency. Before that ho
had been a delegate In congress nnd com
missioner of the gnneral land oUlo ? , Sena
tor Carter , whoso father was an Irishman
from County Hoscommon , Is short and In
clined to bo stout. His cheeks nro ruddy ,
The sides of hlo face are smooth-shaven , but
a funny tuft of whiskers riots on his chin ,
He Is fond of wearing a broad , whlto som
brero. When ho talks hla eyes twinkle
and he Is given lo witty remarks. Ho Is
counted one .of the ablest lawyers In the
northwest ,

A CAUEKH FULL OF VICISSITUDES.
Few men encounter experiences moro
dramatic than an episode In the life of Luclen
llaktr , the now senator from Kansas. Dan
Anthony , editor of the Leavenworth Times ,
has long b-cn In the habit of printing very
strong pieces In his paper about people he
does not like. A man named Thurston had
killed Anthony's former friend , W. W. Km-
bree. Uoth men lived In Leavenworth and
public fiellng ran high. Luclen Baker ,
counted one of the rising lawyers of the
state , defended Thureton and secured his
acquittal. Anthony , through his paper , kept
up an unceasing war on Thurston nnd
hoi'rded him to desperation. One day In
18SO Thurston met Anthony on the street in
Leavenworth and attempted to fhoot him.
The bullet went wide of Its mark and lodged
In the body nf "Luclen Baker , who was pass-
Ing. His life hung by a thread for weeks
and was often deppalrsd of. but care and a
strong constitution finally saved him. His
first remark on recovering consciousness was
that he wished ' Oan Anthony would at
tack better marksmen. " He. Is as strong as
ever now and since his recovery has fflt no
Inconvenience from the bullet fired by the
man he had saved from the gallows.
Thurston was convicted and sent to the peni
tentiary for a long term of years , but was
afterward pardoned. Senator Baker Is one
of the leaders of the Kansas bar. He Is
snicoth-faced , tall , straight and slender.
When chosen senator h was1 serving a term
In the Kansas state senate.
John M. Thureton , the new republican
senator from Nebraska , has had a career
full of dramatic vicissitudes. When he began
the study of law h ? was very poor , and
after he had gained admission to the bar
and gone out to Omaha to begin practice his
affairs went so badly that he finally gave up
and " went to Chicago ami hired out as 'a
hack driver. That was In 1SCS , and aboul
his first experience In his new sphsre nf
action was to carry the delegates to the re
publican national convention from the various
depots and hotels to and from the convention
hall. Just about twenty years later. In Chicago
cage , ho presided over a national convention.
the convention that nominated President
Harrison , for he found without delay that he
was a worse failure as a hack driver than as
a lawyer , and so want back to Omaha and
his musty law books again , and for years
now he has been general solicitor of th'e
Union Pacific railroad. He ranks among the
foremost oralors of the west.
Horace CIilKon of Texas. Thomas S. Martin
of Virginia and Augustus O. Bacon of
Georgia are the most notabU of the- new
senators on the democratic side. Senator
Chllton , who Is on the nether si Jo of CO ,
studied law while working at the printer's
case and has made a fortune at the bar.
J , E. ATSON OWF INDIANA.
He has never been an active politician , but Is
a man of wall considered views on all public
questions and a splendid debater. Senator
Martin has been for many years the at-
torroy of .thf Chesapeake & Ohio Hallway
company. His leadership la Virginia politics
dates from his successful management of
Senator Daniel's candidacy for tin ? senate In
1SS5. He wen his own ssat In the senate

During the siege" 'Lieutenant Maus had
been sent north with a detachment to over
take , If possible , Whlto Bird and any other
Indians who had been able to escape. In
this ho was to some extent successful and
brought back several Indians. He also
brought back the Information that when the
Indians who had escaped reached the As-
sineboin camp , the friendly Asslneboins , In
stead of coming to the assistance'of their
belcagured brethren , killed the two Nez
Forces and left their bodies on the prairie.
On our return march we met Colonel
Sturgls' command coming In our direction.
Their services were not required , and they
were turned back toward the Missouri river.
Several of our wounded died on the way be
fore reaching- the Missouri and had to be
hurled besldo the trail. Wo did the same for
the Indian wounded who expired on the way.
The exquisite satisfaction resulting- from a
complete and valuable victory thrills tha
heart of the soldier and ( Ills his soul with
the most delightful sensations that man can
enjoy , but hla spirit Is saddened to L'n& deep
est ; gloom as ho witnesses the. terrible sacri
fices of his comrades. In a weird nnd lonely
land , skirting the base of cold and cheerlesj
mountains , with no arm to sav ? , far from his
cherished and loved ones , far from home , the.
wounded soldier , cndurliiK Intense pain and
agony , finally offers up his precious life , a
sacrifice to his devotion to duty nnd the
honor of his country. Equally melancholy
were the scenes around the burial place of
sumo Indian warrior , a pillar of Ills tribe and
race , the entire camp enumerating his vir
tues , praising his prowess , chanting his re
quiem and bewailing his loss.
On reaching the Mlw&url river , as many
of the wounded as possible were sent down
on the steamer that had brought up an
abundance of supplies for all of the com
mands , In response to my dispatches , sent
on the night of Septembsr 17. Crossing the
Missouri the march was continued for sev
eral days over the trail which we had made
In coming up , until wo rsaehed the Yellow
stone. As the force- moved across the rollltiB :

There were three battalions of well equlppsd ,

In Korgious colors 10 Indlcite their rejoicing ,
and yet , as they wore several hours In ad
vance of the Interpreter , It was Impossible
for them to make known to the anxious at > -
simhly that gathered nbout them the results
of thp battle. It wAs'kiiown by their having
the Nez Perces stock that they had been In
an engagement They made signs that two
of the olIlceM were dead and several wounded ,
and they also made signs that the big chief
was * all right , to the- great dtllght of my wife
nnd little daughter , yet for several hours the
other ofllc'rs' families were In great distress
to lenrn what two officers had been killed ,
but It was not until three or four hours later
when the Interpreter , John Brughler , ar
rived , that they could bi Informed. Although
a ocd rider , Brughlcr had not bsen able to
keep up with the pace of the Indians. When
he Uld arrive ho Announced that ths two of
ficers were the two1 bachelors , Hale nnd Bid-
die , nnd also gave tl c names of the others
who had been killed ami wounded. There
was then thrte days of anxious waiting for
the returning command. , *
On the fourth day lUmade Its appearance
on the high bluffs to the west , slowly approaching
preaching the edge of the mesa and descend
ing along the. winding trail down to file
ferry , which crossed the Yellowstone at the
point where twenty-seven days ago It had
climbed the etcep In the darkness of the
night nnd In the gray of the. morning of. Sep
tember 18. The families of the- officers and
soldiers and nil other people at the garrison ,
Including the band cf the Flttti Infantry , citi
zens and Indians , lined the bank of the Yel
lowstone ; and as some of the principal offi
cers , Including myself , together with Chief
Joseph nnd ono or two of the prlnclp.il Indi
ans , stepped Into the boat , and It moved from
the northern shore , the band struck up "Hall
to thp Chief , " and then as wo neared the
otrner shore It suddenly changed to " 0 , No !
No ! Not for Joseph , " which it played for a
short time nnd then went back to the former
strain.
strain.DISPOSING
DISPOSING OP THE NEZ PERCES.
The Nez Perces Indians were given a com
fortable camp on the right bank of the
Yellowstone , and it way my purpose to keep
them there during the winter , nnd send them
back to Idaho In the spring. They were a
very bright , energetic body of Indians ; the
most In'elllgent that I have ver seen. Ex
ceedingly self-reliant , each Individual man
ssemcd to be a unit within himself , able to
do his own thinking , and purely democratic
and Independent In Ills Ideas and purposes.
It was my opinion that If they were justly
treated they could be made a loyal and use
ful people. They remained there for ten
days , or two weeks , when I received an order
from the higher authorities to send them
down the river to Jllsmarck , Dakota. They
were therefore loaded Into boat ; ) and sent
down the Yellowstone to Its Junction with
the Missouri , thence down the Missouri to
Bismarck. "
In passing the Mnmlan agency a singular
Incident occurred. The olficer In charge
stepped at that agency for two hours to get
some supplies he required , and during that
time- the Nez Psrces had great curiosity to
see the Mamlnns , and the Mandans , In their
turn , had heard much about the Nez Perces
and were equally anxious to see tliew people
of a different tribe , from a distant part of
the country , and yet of the same rnce.
"BAD INDIANS" IN ABUNDANCE.
Among the Nez Percos was an old Indian
nearly 70 years of age , who had been named
"George Washington , " possibly on the pre-
Eiimptlon that he nnd the father of his coun
try possessed at least one characteristic In
common , and If so , In tills Instance he cer
tainly maintained that reputation. After leav
ing the Mandan agency and continuing down
the river , this old man said to th ? officer tn
charge , "Those Mandans back there are bad
Indians. " The officer asked him why , and ho
replied , ' 'Because they utote two Nez Perces
blnnkets. " Now In their tremendous march
of nearly a thousand miles , together with the
severe engagements In which they had taken
part , the Nez Perces had lost nearly every
thing ; so the officer could not help thinking
how much they needed the blankets In the
approaching1 cold winter , and accordingly ex
pressed much rympathy , though of course It
was Impossible to turn back up the stream to
recover them. Finally , after giving his
strong condemnation cf the theft , It occurred
to him to ask George Wathlngton If the Nez
Perces had taken away anything belonging to
the Mandana , " 0. yes,1' ho responded , "we-
got away with four buffalo robes. " So It
seems that tht ? Mandans were not t'la only
bad Indians , according to his own standard.
From Bliinarck they were ordc-red to be
sent to Fort Leavenworth , Kan. , where they
remained during the winter , and In theuprlng
they were- sent to the Indian Territory. They
remained there for a few years and the low
malarial districts and climate caused sad
havoc In their ranks. In a short time they
'iiad lest nearly 60 per ce-ntW their number by
death. I frequently and perslitcntly for
Bovon long years , urged that they be sent to
their own country , but not till 18S4 , when 1
was In command of the Department cf the
Columbia , Old I succeed In having them re
turned weit of the mountains to near their
own country , where they liavo remained at
peace ever since that time.
