HENDERSON FOR SPEAKER.
Tlio Ioivn Mini Sure to Succeed Thotnns
Ji. Itced-Sketch of IIU Military
and .Political Cum or.
Chicago, June 5. The Record to-day
says: Congressman David B. Hender
son, of Iowa, received enough pledges
by telegraph and mall to give him 102
votes hi the republican caucus when it
meets In Washington. As 03 votes con
stitute a majority of the republican
representation in the house, Col. Ilen-
dcrson has nine to tho good and more
states to hear from. Word came to
Chicago yesterday that James S. Sher
man and Sereno E. Payne, New York's
rival aspirants for the speakership, will
withdraw from the contest in a few
days, thus making Col. Henderson's
election unanimous.
Career of Col. Henderson.
David II. Henderson, of Iowa, Huh become u
national ll'uro of considerable proportion. If
bo llnully Is elected to tho oillce, "which 1ms
no peer and but one superior," tho country will
have reason to hear much of his personality
nnd abilities. Mr. Henderson never can bo
president. Ho was bora ut Old Deer, In Scot
land, In 1810. but was brought by his parents to
this country when six years old. They settled
in Illinois nnd removed three years later to
Iowa. Young Henderson was reared on a
farm, nnd, on tho breaking out of tho war
In 1801, enlisted as 11 private In company
C, Twelfth Iowa Infantry. Ho was elected anil
commissioned llrst lieutenant of thnt company,
serving with it until ho was discharged, owing
to tho loss of a leu at Corinth. Ho had taken
part in tho battles of Fort Henry, Fort Donel
bon, Shlloh nnd Corinth, und had also been
slightly wounded at one of tha earlier lights.
Three mouths after ho was mustered out ho
was appointed commissioner of tho board of
enrollment of the Third district of Iown,
in which capacity ho served until June,
1801, when ho re-entered tho army as
colonel of tho Forty-Sixth Iowa Infantry.
Ho served until tho close of tho war. In No
vember, I8CT, ho was made Internal revenue col
lector for tho Third district of Iowa, and,
while- holding this ofllce. completed his law
studies, so that In 1809 ho beenmo a member of
tho llrm of Shims, Vnn Duzco & Henderson.
At this tlmo ho was mado assistant United
States district attorney for tho Northern district
of Iowa, but resigned in 1871. Ho was elected
to congress In tho fall of 188. and has been
re-elected every two years since. Col. Hender
son, though not yet 00 years old, nppears older
on account of the physical inllrmltles resulting
from his wounds In battle. It has happened
thnt for several months at a tlmo ho has hardly
been nblo to attend to his congressional duties,
on account of tho Intense sullerlng caused by
tho growth of something In tho nature of an ub
scoss near tho lino of amputation. Ho has been
obliged tp submit to repeated surgical opera
tions to obtain relief.
THE PLAN OF ARBITRATION.
A Hcllof In "WiiHlilngton Thnt tlio Ameri
can .Scheme Will Ho Adopted by
tlio l'enco Congress.
Washington, Juno 5. According to
oflleial dispatches received at the state
department from the American delega
tion at The Hague, there is every rea
son to believe that the American plan
of arbitration, with perhaps some modi
fications, will be adopted by the peace
conference. This probably will bo the
only result of the conference. Tho au
thorities understand that hope of stop
ping further armament by means of
action at Tho Hague has been
abandoned and that the
gates have also given up
belief that the conference will
dole
their agree
to propositions for ameliorating the
hardships of war. Even the amend
ment of tho treaty of Paris of 1850 re
garding the protection of private prop
erty at sea is believed to stand little
chance of adoption. It is, therefore,
likely that the one result of the con
ference will be a treaty under which
the several participating nations will
be able, if they desire to do so, to sub
mit their disputes to an arbitration
tribunal, to be formed as contemplated
by the American plan.
WAS A NOTABLE OCCASION.
Diplomatic KelutloiiH Kcmuiied With Spnln,
After u Wur Tlmt Huh Changed
the .Map of tlio World.
Washington, June 5. Diplomatic re
lations with Spain, broken off April 21,
lbllS, were formally resumed at 11
o'clock Saturday when President Mc
Kinley greeted Due d'Arcos, the newly
accredited minister to the United
States, in the blue parlor of the white
house. Simultaneously in Madrid, if
the programme arranged was carried
out, Hellamy Storor, the new Tinted
States minister to Spain, was being
presented to Christina, tho queen re
gent during the legal minority of his
Catholic majesty Alphonso Nil I. It
was a notable occasion in the world's
history tho resumption of friendly
relations between two nations which
had been at war and in tho brief strug
gle had changed the map of the world.

WHEN A MONKEY IS A DOG.
How IlucKIiinil, the Xnturnllnt, Got-
Sonic Good Pointers on
Aiilimilx.
A good story of an amusing altercation
which once took place between ilr. Frank
Huckland and a hooking clerk is revived.
The naturalist had been in France, and was
returning via Southampton with an over
coat stalled with specimens of all sorts, dead
and alive. Among them was a monkey,,
which was domiciled in a large breast pocket.
As Huckland was taking his ticket, Joke
thrust up his head and attracted the atten
tion of the hooking clerk, who immediately
and very properly said: "You mutt have
a ticket for that dog, if it's going with you."
"Dog?" said JJuckland, indignantly; "it's
no dog, it's a monkey."
"It's a dog," replied the clerk.
"It's a monkey," retorted Huckland, and
proceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insibtei
on five shillings for the dog ticket to London.
Naturally nettled at this, Huckland
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced a tortoise, and, laying it on the
sill of the ticket window, said: "Perhap
you'll call thnt a dog, too?'
The clerk inspected the tortoise. "No,"'
said he, "we make no charge for them
they're insects!" Windsor Magazine.
TIioho Absurd NaiiicN.
"What ridiculous names they have over
there in the Philippines." said the man who
had just walked up to the counter nnd been
assured by the clerk that he could have the
bc&t room in the hotel. "There's Calumpit,
for instance. That name would make a
horse laugh. Who ever heard of anything
so absurd as to give a town such a postmark
as thnt?"
Then ho took the pen that the clerk had
been holding out toward him and wrote
upon the register:
