The next time a suave young man makes
hts nppo.ranco In Omaha railway and bank
Ipg circles soliciting subscriptions to popu
lar magazines at cut rates , It Is altogether
probable that he will meet with a reception
ns chilling as the Wasts from the Klondike
fields of Ice and snow , The reason for the
lack of faith In canvassers who guarantee
to furnish pcinitar publications at less than
the publlshurs' subscription rntca among th <
gentlemen of the professions natnsd , Is
found In the fact that a large number c
t'.iom , namewhero between 100 and 200 of
them , have been swindled by a darner young
canvasser , who promised n year's subscrlp
tlon to cither Munsey's Magazine or to Tm
Cosmopolitan at the rate of 75 cents , or bath
for $1.50.
When hero the young man traveled under
the name of Harry Wlhc/u. Where lit
travels now. or under what name , L3 un
known. Ho made his appearance during the
latter pii't of November nnd the big offlca
b'jIldliiRs on Fnrnum etroot wcro Invaded
by him with results very nrafllablo to him
self. The tenants in tin Flrat National bci.ik ,
the United States Nntloual Lank and the
Nebraska National bank bulldlnss were hU
especial i > rcy and al'cr ; hu had finished
working the attorneys and t'ao representa
tives ot eastern freight Hues In those build
ings ho turned his attention toward * some
of the local railroad ofilcea with considerable
remuneration to hlrccclf and grief to his
victims.
T.he gameof Harry Wilson was not a now
one , but It was sufficiently plausible to
cuchro 75 cents and $1.50 out of a number
of brlyiit lawyers and ahairallrcad trafilc
mcu. He told them that ho was offering a
snap that had been rarely equaled and never
excelled In the west. Ilo would give them
a year's subscription to cither Munsey's
Magazine or to The Cosmopolitan for the
low sum of 75 cents , or bjth magazine * for
ll.DO , somewhat below the publishers' rate
for these periodicals. Ilo wld that when he
had secured 1,000 of these su'osrrlptloun he
would bo entltlc-d to a free scholarship In a
Sncncerlivn buslnccs college. As he uas a
' . > oor boy and greatly desirous of such an
education 'he thought this would bo a goJ
plan to equip hltmelf for a life's work In
the commercial field at snall cost to him
self or to his dear mother at home. Ilo
did not Bay where "homo" v.xis. Usually
ho Informed those- who received him that had
secured over MOO of these cut rate subscrip
tions and needed cnly a little more assist
ance to secure the i. > rize for which he wao
working. TJO figures 073 and 9S1 were most
commonly on ployed to tell how nnir the
goal of his ambition ho bad reached.
It can bo readily understood that such a
pathetic appeal for educational objcctrj In
torcsted a number ot educate. ! gentleman
to the extent ot 75 cents each. A few
wanted to aho-.v that they had big hearts
and a regular paojton for loakVjg at "type *
of fair women , " so they snbjcrlbpd for both
.T.agazlnes. After handing cvcv their con !
tj Mr. WKson , that bland young Individual
wrote out receipta for the mc'icy obtained
nd pivo them to the prospective subscrib
er. * . There are now a large number of these
receipts In the desks of Cir.ahn attornoja
freight men and bank clerks that can bp
obtained very cheaply.
Each receipt waa printed In businesslike
form. On the receipts for subscrlptlt-ns to
Cosmopolitan was a note saying that If
the magazine should not arrive within two
weeks after the payment of the nubscrip-
tlon , canrplalnt should bo made to The Cos
mopolitan Company , Llm'.tcd , New York
City , N. Y. Two weeks oMpJod and a num
ber of the supp3i9J subscribers noticed that
the magazines did not arrive. Four weeks
passed by , and the popular monthly did not
begin Its promised visits. When the time
after the payment of the subscriptions grew
along toward two months some of the
Omahans wrote to The Ccsmopolltan Com
pany , Limited , New York City , N. Y. . but
they have ciot yet received rny replies.
Slid ono of these gentlemen to The Bee
yesterday : "It is my opinion tbit The Cos
mopolitan Company , Limited , Is a fake.
That la not the- name of the company that
publishes The Ccsmopolltan , and the fact
that letters sent to The Cosmopolitan Com
pany , Limited , hava neither tceo acknowl
edged or returned. Indicates pretty clearly
to my minds that there Is somebody In New-
York receiving the mall , who IT In collusion
with Wilson , or whatever his name really
Is. "
When asked why complaint had not been
made to the pcatul authorities several ot
the gentlemen said that they desireto Incur
no publicity in the matter , preferring to
Icso 75 cents or ? 1.M rather than to be
idverllsed as having be i victimized. It is
pwc'Iblo , however , that some of the victims
rrcy call the attention of the postal depart
ment to the matter within a few days.
Don't ronoy others by your oouglilng , and
risk your llfe'by neglecting a cold. One Minute -

The crisp , bracing air and the covering of
white upon the ground , took many people
out ot their homes yesterday In order to
enjoy a winter day of unusual beauty. Many
of the people of Oimiha had begun to think
that winter was Indeed over. The return of
the snow and cold air from the north came
as a glad respite to unreasonable weather ,
Ono of the mill 11 polnt of Interest around
ubont the city yesterday was the oxpo.iUlon
grounds , Persona who had v/nded through
mud nearly nhoe-top high on prcvlcus Sun
days wuro not deterred on account of any
such conditions yesterday , for the ground
was frozen hard nnd gave excellent footing.
As a result the grounds wcro thronged from
an curly hour until late at night with slght-
flceitt , afoot and In nlelih.j . and others on
[ ilcasuro bent. Of thcco In sleighs there \\o.i
mi unusual number , for the heavy fill of
snou- filled up the roadwnyu and made the
pastlmti delightful.
Among the skaters on the lugoon nothing
Liettcr lu the form of weather or Ice could
DO IUUM ! | . It was estimated 'by Manager
Swobo that between 1,209 and l.SOfl people
availed thcmsulvcd of the ulnoatli turfico
it the lanoon. The snow was swept off the
co f.a far cast M the bridge and this space ,
including the mirror , afforded ampin roomer
or nil who wished to enjoy thepastlmo. . The
oboggan elldo was placoj In commission uiid
many peoplu patronfzod U during the after-
loon and evening. A npeclal program of racej
and sports , Incliullng thu Ktormlng of a sno\v
palace was arranged by the management
ind all wcro successfully carried out with
ho uxccptlou of the destruction of the pal

The big coming event In local German socle
ties Is the celebration of the thirtieth mini
voreary of the Omaha Turnveroln , which Is
to tnko place In Ucrmanla hall on the even
lug of Februiry G. Preparations for this
affair are being made on qulto an oxtenulvo
cicalc and the present Indications are tha
It will bo highly Interesting and enjoyable
The program for'the occasion , which rni
published In yesterday's Bee , Is largely o
nn athletic character. This U very natural
Inasmuch ns the gymncelum la the centra
and main fcaturo of German turning socl' < -
tlcs , the aor.lAl sldo being secondary to It
Moreover the program Is calculated to show
the great Improvement made in the work
of the turnvereln and will Ic a complete
exposition of the method. ! that . \ro now ! n
vogue. All the clashes will tc repi'taunto
on the stigo from the children up to the
.bears , even Including lh clwa nf wou.cn
They will go through all thu drills and ex
orcises which nro the almo.it daily work of
the membero of the turnvcroln.
A big committee Is in chnrgo of the ar
rangements. They prepared the pregram
and they also have charge ot the ether fea
tures of the coltbratlon. Among other things
arrangements are being made to lavlshlj
decorate the hall on the evening of UIL
affair. The entertainment will ba exclusive ,
Inasmuch as admittance ean only bo secured
by Invitation. It h proposed , however , to In-
vlto u. large number of the non-members ol
llir. turnvereln nnd there 'j ' no doubt tui !
almost the cn'ire niombtislnp with tni-ir
families will uo pre-Hont.
The Oniuhi rurnvcreln Is one of ihc old
est In this .ves'ri : ; country , uiy a few oth
ers surpassing it in age. Evci iv it cannot
boast of its length of i-xlstcuco , however ,
the mcmbeiu take great prldo that It utauUa
among the Ilvst socletlco In the whole coun
try In paint of excellence and the advan
tages It offers Ho moirjfcrs.
This celebration will In a measure go to
show the great prldo the German-Americans
In this country take In the athletic system
which they have transplanted from the
fatherland. They are confident that It can
stand comparison with any other system
that Is now used In America , or. In fact. In
the cotjro world. They are nt any llmo
ready to Invite competition with It. It was
this very same pride which recently In
duced the Omaha turnvereln to offer the
free iiso of Its gymnasium , apparatus mid
Instructors to the pupils of the High school.
The offer was at once accepted by the Boarder
or Education.
As a result of this Invitation there are
between sixty r.nd eighty girls of the High
school now taking regular Instruction In the
gymnasium. They have been divided Into
two classes. Each class Is Instructed twice
a week between the hours cf 2 "and1. . The
Instruction was begun within the last week
or two and the experiment Is resulting sat
isfactorily. The turnvcroln has gone to some
expense In putting In lockers for the accom
modation of the pupils.
A cloijB of boys of the High school Is now
bring enlisted and is expected to be at work
shortly. These probably will have to meet
In the evenings , as the gymnasium Is now
in use every afternoon. An attempt will also
bo made to get up a class from among the
teachers , and for the same reason these
will have to receive the Instruction In the
evenings. The Idea has been very bo.irtlly
approved by a number of the teachers and
It Is likely to bo a go.
There are only three conditions required
of the High school pupils. Ono It ) that lluy
agree to attend a full term. Another Is
that they attend regularly. The third is
that they fur.ilsh proper gymnasium cloth
ing.
Gymnastics are considered a part of an
education by Germans and It is for" that
reason that regular expositions or the work
ot the German gymnasium will be given In
the educational building during the exposi
tion. The required apparatus will be put
Into the building nml on certain days a
class of twenty-live or fifty shool children
will bo put through the drills and exercises.
This will bo qulto a feature of the building.
In orTcr ro nroscnt more fully to the
Omaha public the merits of the German gym-
i.jstlo system , a nubile entertainment is to
be given at one of the local theaters la the
near future. If the present plans are -carried
out. The cato ! has not yet been arranged ,
but ttie affair will probably occur In the
latter part of March. It is proposed to have
all the classes represented and to have them
go through the entire system of exercises.
This entertainment will aoo ! bo employed to
swell the fund that will bo expended during
the big tutnfest that Li to bo held hero lei
June. This will 'call for several thousands
ol dollars , since the prizes will have xo be
u.'oreprlale to the lirncrtanco and size of lrjo
alfalr and also because the local turnvorcln
will bo called upon to properly rare for the
jctlve turners who will parti-lpat In the
contests. The entire- burden will fall upon
the turuverln , as It has determined that It
will not ask for any donation ) from the ex
position directory or the citizens of Omaha.
Omaha IMS little idea of the size or Im
portance of the proposed turnfest. It will
attract moro iiocplo to this city than any
convention tbit will bo held hero. No less
and orobibly more than GOO active turners
will participate jn the contests and thoutand.s
cf Germans will bo In attendance as spec
tators. Omaha Is the heart of a dhtrlH
which Is thickly populated with German-
Americans and a good proportion of these
are certain to attend the fcst. The com-
mlttoo that ha. ; .tho turnf st In charge Is
iomewh&t bothered over the matter of secur
ing a proper location for the holding cf the
contests. Omaha Is poorly sucolied with the
urti.jcr sort of grounds. The new fair
grounds are too far out and therefore would
not be suitable. The committee Is now
turning Itn attention to the old fort grounds ,
which would furnish an Ideal place. An
effort will probably bo made to Induce the
government to allow the U.IP of the
grounds for the purpose. Not only would
; hey provide an excellent place for the con-
: ests , but the empty barracks would also
Folvo the question of housing the active
Participants tn the games ,
The local turners will also have the op-
lortunlty of entertaining during the turn-
'fst a largo number of eastern members. On
July C the biennial meeting of the national
turncrbund takes place in S'an Francisco
anJ a largo number of eastern delegates
will bo In attendance. Efforts are already
lelng made to induce tlicso to pass through
Omaha and many of them have agreed to
lo S3. They will bo given a reception mrtl
are expected to utay over two or three days
o view the exposition and to witness the
urnfest.
The executive committee of the Missouri
Valley turnbezlrk has set April 10 as the
late fur the annual meeting of the body.
The convcntlen will bo held Jn thU city
and will be attended by delegates from all
ho cities In tlm bczlrk. A reception and
iroper entertainment will be given them

pleted yesterday , and Ivcs and Schuefer" are
tied for llrst nnd second money. The
"wizard" was too much for the "young

a score of 4CO to 378. The Ilnlsh wns a heartbreaker -
breaker , and but for un unfortunate kins
that caused the balls to line up for Ivcs
the- result would probably have been re

It Is probable that Ivcs and Schacfer will

WASHINGTON , Jan. 23. ( Special. ) Now
that congress U with us the lobbyists are
with congress. There Is a vague but wide *
spread Idea among these who have not soon
the congressional machine In operation that
the lobby corrupts congress. The lobby
might fairly retort that the danger lies the
other way. At all events It Is certain that
no senator or representative will ever have
w corrupt proposition made to him unlpAs
ho Invites It , nml even then the Invitation
mny bo extended In vain. This was the dts-
appointing experience of at least one repj
rescntatlvo In the Inst congress. Ho was one
of the accidents whs caught lite tidal wave
of 1894 on the crest and 'was floated Into the
house. Ho spent most of lib time going
about among ( the representatives of special
Interests plteously beseeching them "to dd
something for me. " The only thing anybody
did for htm was done by his quondam con
stituents. They left him at homo nt the next
election.
Responding .to 'tho ' popular vlow of tha
lobby Senator Allen , the giant populist
from Nebraska , Introduced In the senate on
March 15 a bill "to prevent professional
lobbying. " It defined a professional lobbyist
"to bu cny porsan who habitually attempts
to InIInonce the legislative action of con
gress by soliciting a member thereof tcl
support or defeat a measure pending there
in , or In either house thereof , or before a ,
committee ot cither house of congress or
which may bo Introduced for the considera
tion of either house of congress or referred
to a committee thereof. " The bill then pro4
ceodod to make lobbying In ! the capltol oJ
the United States or the District of Colum
bia , or entering the District of Columbia ,
or the capful of the United States with the
Intention of lobbying therein , nn orfcme
against the United States of America. Any
violation of this law was to bo punished by
n line ofi not less than $1OCO nor mure than
$ . ' ,000 , and Imprisonment lu the common
iall of the District of Columbia at hard labor
fcr not Icrs than ono nor more than fivrj
years.
nURIRD IN COMMITTEE.
This drastic measure for scourging the
lobby from the capltol and from the DIs
trlct of Columbia nnd preventing Its ever
re-ontoring 'therein ' was referred to the
committee on education and labor. H is per-
'estly cafe to predict that nothing will cvor
como cf it. The rca.'on Is plain.
There nro lobbyists and lobbyists. Thera
are these to whom lobbying Is n calling , a
vocation. These form the professional class
of lobbyists , and are the ones commonly
railed nt , and against whom Senator Allen
irofcsscilly launched Ills legislative shaft.
Then there Is a class to whom lobbying Is
only nn Incident to another calling or pro
fession. These are usually lawyers called In
o argue cases before committees. Then there
are persons who appear In their own Indi
vidual behalf , and they range all the way.
rom heads of great corporations to the
lumblo owners of little war or other claims
against the government , or petitioners for
private pensions. Yet another class Is com-
) oscd of the ropresenstatlvcs of the Indian !
.ribes , from the blanketed Indians to edu
cated members ot the five civilized trlbw ,
.ho Cherokces , who have a written language
of their own ; the Choctaws , the Creeks , the
Chlcasawa and the Somlncles.
Senator Allen's bill would keep every one
of 'these ' standing without the bronze doors
ot the capltol and some of them would not
> e permitted oven to crots the boundary
inos ot the District of Columbia , nut it
vould not correct any real evil. If such ex-
sts. Yet It Is a very American measure. It
lisplaysAo characteristic national Impa-
( enco which leads our legislatures when
dealing with coythUig of which they dlsap-
> rove , but which somebody wants to do , to
sock , not to re-gulato it , but to prohibit it.
This tendency has loaded our statute books
vlth legislative enactments which are , always
iave boon and always will bo dead letters.
The plain truth Is that little of the corrup-
lon of congressional legislation , If corrup-
ion there bo. is by the classes named , not
oven the professional lobbyists , men whonc-
onus and faces arc as familiar tn the capltol-
launters as these of the leaders of congress
hemsclvcs and a good deal more familiar
han those cf the rank and file of either
louse. If It bo done at all it is elsewhere
ban at the ccigltol. It Is In the exclusive
lubs , at the fashionable hotels of the West
3nd , at favorite restaurants and cafes and
bovo all In society , at dinners , balls and
ther swell functions. It Is in t'.ieso placca
ml by men whoso faces are fieldom seen at
ho capltnl that congressional schemes and
latters legislative are arranged. If they are
rrnngcd. These are familiar facts to these
vho eojnurn within the gates of Washington
nd observe the current ot events as it
ewe Into the sea of the past.
MEMBERS WAIT TO DE TEMPTED.
It Is a fact that there have been grave
candals touching congressional action nnd
t It not necessary to go Ixwk to the daya
f tfio Pacific Mail or of the Credit Moblller
o find thorn.fi'Jt thcsa scandals were not
rcatcd by the lobby any more than by the
> ublo ! Itself. The lobby did not nven "stand
n" on them. They were created by the leg-
ilators , usually senators , themselves" . The
assago of the Sherman silver purchasing
act was followed by nn Investigation. It
will be recalled that silver went up prodi
giously In price , This , though a perfectly
natural thing for silver to do under the cir
cumstances , lalsed a general howl. Hence
i'io Investlcaticn. There were ominous
whisperings that n eenator would bo
"caught. " The usual aconp-net method was
followed and everybody called and examined.
At last Don Cameron wrs asked If ho had
boi'ght sllvor. Ho iiromptly suld ho had
bought C.OOO ounces , had made money by the
transaction nnd was sorry he hadn't bought
mote. "What of it ? " ho asked. Nobody
acEiuod to know "what of It" and that Investigation
'
vestigation ended.
In the eamo way the sugar schoflulo In
the Wilson-Gorman law brought on an In
vestigation , which was a purely senatorial
performance. Several Kciutow shuflle-d and
stumbled mightily. The BOH of ono nnd the
maid servant of another , being of mildly
speculative ) turns , had dabbled , just deibblod ,
no more , In sugar atocka. There were other
ludicrous answers , till Matt Quay admitted
ho had bought the Block and had a right to
do so. Everybody scorned to ngreo to hlf >
proposition nnd the farce cndod rlwht there ,
except that wvo of the sugar magnates and aNew
Now York broker were Indicted for recal
citrancy as wltnopses 'boforo ' the committee.
With flno impartiality the ibroker wna con
victed In the d'atrlft courts and the mag
nates acquitted with apologies.
LOBBYISTS ON ALL MEASURES.
The clnrplo fact Is that there nro mighty
few mcamiros of any kind , public or pri
vate , that somebody Is not lobbying for or
against , for it la "lobbying" whenever any
body endeavors to sway thtt mind of even
ono nonjvtor or representative for or against
a given plcco of proposed legUlation ,
whether this ibo done within the walls of
tlitf capltol or for fcoyond lit' proclncU. And
It Is "habitual" lobbying when ono follow
n nu-asuro or an Interest up from 0116 con-
gresa to another , or Is Interested In meas
ures before * more than ono congress , whether
or not a-man makes lobbying his solo ibiut-
UCiU ,
Lobbying first rose to the rank of a nclenco
under the masterly guiding hand of the cole ,
brated Knin Ward , first King of the Lobby ,
and there has been no other. Ho waa a
man of education and culture , polished ,
traveled , and the greatest epicure of his
day. Ho lobbied by means of dinner * the
llko of which Washington had never known.
Ward came hero Just after the war. The
chief peculiarity of his drcro was a rufllcd
shirt front.
Following Ward , and his only emulator ,
camn the late Dr. Robert Bruce Bradford ,
In 1S7C. Ho had 'been a member of the New
York legislature , public administrator ot
New York City , and a consul abroad. Llko
Ward , Dr. Bradford was au oplcuro and
l > ollshcd mm. Ho oceuplcxl for many years
n largo houao on Thirteenth street near Now
York avenue , In .tho very hwrt of Washing
ton , where ho gave elaborate entertainments ,
with senators and representative ! ? ns his
guests , The story Is told that t ono of
these dinners reed 'birds constituted the
chief dollcicy. Among the guests was Sen
ator Vest of MUourl. Nest day a fellow
senator , who had .been . Invited , but did not
go. asked him If ho had attended. "Yes , "
replied Vent. "I wns ( hero and had n great
time. I got the wing of ft reed bird and
lest $500 nt poker , "
So much for the theory of lobbying nnd
the two chief lobbyists of their day , the man
who made lobbying n science nnd the man
who maintained It In that rank , both gone
to Join the majority. The tendency In mod
ern lobbying , as In so many other things
these days , Is toward specialism. This fact
will abundantly appear In the list that fol
lows of these who today are making of
lobbying n vocation.
UNION PACIFIC LOBBYIST.
Colonel 13. W. Ayrra. a former newspaper
man , for fourteen years represented the
Union Pacific railroads , his task being to
prevent adverse legislation. Perhaps Ayres'
most tiotablo feat was securing the passage
ot the McQarrahnn claim bill through both
houses of congress In the face of nearly
thirty years of failure by others , only , then ,
to lese the fruits of his labors by nn exccu-
tlvn veto. The dcnth of Mr. Mctinrrnhiui
nlono prevented final success. Out of the
last congress Ayres got JI.GOO.OOO for the
Dolnwnro breakwntcr. Ho also defeated the
location of the Philadelphia mint buildings
nt Broad and Cherry streets , althoueh that
site had been approved , property condemned
tind proceedings In condemnation affirmed
by the courts nnd carried the location to
Sixteenth and Spring Garden , Ho Is n tall ,
spnro man , blue-eyed , with thin fnco nnd
a hawk-llko nose.
Colonel Phil Thompson , a former repre
sentative from Kentucky , has long been the
chief representative hero of C. P. Hunting-
ton's Southern Pacific and Central Pacific
: oads. Ho Is of medium size , blue-eyed ,
inndsomo , good humored , high spirited nnd
jopulor. Ho Is n lawyer by profession nnd
s said to receive an enormous salary. John
Boyd Is Mr. Huntlngton's rcrsonal repre
sentative , but leaves legislative matters to
Colonel Thompstn. Mr. Boyd Is a former
louse employe nnd knows all the Ins nnd
outs of the capital.
Dr. Glavls represents steamship Interests ,
ils task being to prevent the enactment of
adverse Immigration laws , his ships being
irlnclpally engaged In bringing Immigrants
nto this country. It looks ns though he
rould prove n four-time loser this session.
Captain Sam Doneison of the famous Tcnn-
ssco Donelsons , former doorkeeper of the
louse , represents southern railroads and
steamships. Ilo Is a six-foot blonde nnd saw
ervlco In the confederate nrmy. He was
ono of the men who engineered through con
gress the bill to buy the Cherokee Strip , or
iropcrly the Cherokee outlet.
Colonel William P. Rice came hero In the
early ' 70s with former Senator S. B. Con-
over of Florida. Colonel Rico Is In nil sorts
of things and Is very successful. Ho Is tall ,
as tall as Congressman Berry of Kentucky ,
whom ho somewhat resembles.
Joseph Rice , noted as the best storyteller -
teller at the capltol , Is n ruddy , handsome
man. Ho makes a specialty of local mat
ters , such ns telephone nnd railroad Inter
ests , but Is also In a number of outside
things.
DUDLEY HAS ELECTION CASES.
General W. W. Dudley , a former pension
'Commlsslctier , and who left a leg at Gettys
burg when colonel of the Nineteenth Indiana ,
looks after the local Interests , has < no sldo
or the other of a good many conlcslc-d elec
tion cases and Is the sagacious represent
ative of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad ,
whoso president , John K. Cowan' , used his
privilege as rcpresentatlve-eloct to go on the
Moor and lobby for the pooling bill so ener
getically that ho narrowly escaped being re
quired by the toeaker , the late Charles P.
Crisp of Georgia , to leave the floor. As It
was his presence was bitterly alluded to In
ono of the speeches against the bill.
John Cassells looks after fiio Pennsyl
vania railroad interests exclusively.
S. C. Ncale , an acccirnlished man , repre
sents the International Steamship company.
It wants a subsidy and Mr. Ncalo will bo a
"good "un" It ho secures It.
Colonel Harry Worthlngton , a handEomo
man with a gray moustache and Hashing
black eyes , is In a number of things. Ho
was a member of the California legislature
forty-seven years ago nnd was with Walker ,
"tho gray-eyed man of destiny , " In Nlcnra-
gua. Ho 'was Nevada's first representative
in congress and whllo serving In that capac
ity was selected ns cno ot President Lin
coln's ( xillbtarcrs. He and former Senator
Dawes of Massachusetts are the only sur
vivors of the pallbearers of the martyred
Lincoln. Worlhlngton was also in congress
from South Carolina.
II. J. Schultcls represents organized labor
In urging t'no passage of measures effectu
ally to restrict Immigration.
Colonel Nat McKay , the former ship
builder , has been a familiar figure about the
capltol for years. He was engaged la an
attempt to collect from the government
moneys claimed to be due his firm on shlpa
built during the war. After years of ef
fort ho got a bill through both houses dur
ing President Cleveland's first term. It was
promptly vetoed. McKay , who had always
been a democrat , wont over to the support
ot Harrison in 18S8 , and did effective work
by go'ng to England and writing up the
condition of labor there , his article , } being
Illustrated by photographs of the dwellings
of laborers ot all classes. His bill went
through the Fifty-first congress and was
promptly signed by President Harrison.
RECEIVES AN OLD CLAIM.
Another man who lobbied In his own i/n- /
toreat was the late Colonel Sun Reid , eon
of Captain Samuel Chester Reid , who com
manded the private armed brig General
Armstrong , which was attacked In the
neutral port of Fayal ! o the A/ores Islands
In September , ISM , by the British squadron
on Its way to capture New Orleans. The In
juries ho Inflicted , on the enemy wcro so
severe as to delay the squadron long enough
to ( 'nablo General Jacltpra to prepare for the
defense of the city and to win one of the
mcdt notable battles In the annals of war.
Captain Rold was also the designer of the
present form of the American Hag. His sen ,
Colonel Reid. In his old age , managed to
collect the claim of his father for the lass
of the General Armstrong , then nearly threo-
qujrtcrs of a century old.
The most unique lobby over gathered to
gether In Washington Is that mow hero in
terested In the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
It Is divided into two ecctlora , ono for the
treaty , headed by former Minister Lorin
Thurston ; the other agalust the treaty ,
headed by the former queen. Provi

Among the important dobuntantes In the
lobby at this congrees will be. It Is said ,
Hilary A. Herbert , former1 representative
from Alabama und Hocretary of the navy In
the last Cle > eland cabinet. It Is understood
that ho will look after matters for the Car-
ncgics , Bethlehem Iron works und the
Ciamps.
Former Senator Call of Florida Is hero ne

AI1USH THEIll 1'niVILKQES.
Last winter , nml during lhe special PCO -j
olon of con ur oss last spring ami nummer. f
the floor of the sennto was BO occupfed by J
former senators eagerly pushing the mean- i
urej In which they were Interested that *
Kugcno Halo of Maine , not the most nmlnblu
of aciintora , on Juno 24 Inst gnvo written
notlro of nn amendment to the rules of the
senate. The object of thla amendment wna
to Oeny the privileges of the floor of the
sciuto to nny former tnnintors "Interested In
nny claim , or In prosecution of the simo ,
or , directly , ln > nny bill pending before con-
grops. " As Senator Halo has not pushed
the matter It Is supposed that , the mcro
thrust has had .the . dtalrcxl effect. It Is rer.
tain that fewer former senators have availed
themselves of their privileges to the floor
nt the present session than nt nny HMnlou
In recent years. Ono former eenator vnis
Been the other day to enter the lobby 'back '
of the scnatn chamber and to wait there
until .tho . senator ho wanted to sw. his
Halo's notice of his proposed amendment the
former acnntor would Imvo gone on the
floor and had Ills talk there.
In the house former representatives have
the privileges of the floor. It U noteworthy
that Colonel Phil Thompson , though n
former representative , has never , slnco ho
