The next time a suave young man makes
h's appo.ranco In Omaha railway and batik-
Ing circles soliciting subscriptions to popu
lar magazines at cut rates , It Is altogether
probable that he will meet with a reception
as chilling as the blasts from the Klondike
fields of Ice .mil snow , The reason for the
lack of faith in canvassers who guarantee
to furnish popular publications at less llian
the publishes' subscription rates among' th <
gentlemen of the professions named , Is
found In the fact that a largo number c
I'jom , RDme\vhcro between 100 ami 200 ol
them , have beco swindled by a tint nor young
canvasser , who promised a year's subscrlp-
llon to cither Munsey's Magazine or to T.u
Cosmopolitan at the rate of 75 cents , cr both
for $1.50.
When here the young man traveled under
the name of Harry Wlhon. Where he
travels now , or under what name , U un
known. Ho made his appes-ranco during the
latler par.t of November nnd the bis ofllcj
biilidliiRS oil Farnuni etreet were Invaded
by him with results very nrofitablo to him
self. The tenants In th KIr.'t Xatlcoal | KUS ! ,
the United States Natlotal binlt and the
Nchiuska National bank buildings were hi. ;
especial t > rey and al'tcr ho had finished
working the attorneys and l'.io representa
tives of eastern freight Hues in these build
ings ho turned his attention toward * some
of the local railroad ofilces with considerable
remuneration to hircsclf and grief to his
victims.
The game of Harry Wilson as not a now
ono , but It was sufficiently plausible to
cucliro "fi cents and $1.50 out of a number
of bright lawyers aad Bhaiu railroad traffic
men. He told them that ho was offering a
snap that had been rarely equaled end never
excelled In the west. Ho would give them
a year's subscription to cither Munsey's
Magazine or to The Cosmopolitan for the
low sum of 75 cents , or bth magazine * for
$1.CO , somewhat below thepublishers' rate
for these periodicals. Ho ild that when he
had secured 1,000 of these subscriptions ho
would lx > entitled to a free scholarship In a
Sncncerlivn btislncos college. As he was a
ooor boy cud grratly dfnlroiis of such an
education 'ho thought this would bo a go.l
plan to equip himself for a life's wbi'k In
the commercial field at small cost to him
self or to his dear mother at home. He
did not say where "homo"M.IS. . Usually
lie Informed those who received him that had
secured over 900 of these cut rate subscrip
tions and needed cnly a llttlo more assist
ance to secure the prize for which he wao
working. 1'jo figures 973 and 9S1 were most
commonly err ployed to tell how ntviv the
goal of his ambition ho had reached.
It can bo readily understood that such a
pathetic appeal for otlucatlor. il objcctn In
iorcsted a number ot educated gestlemun
to the extent of 75 ctrjts each. A few
wanted to show that they had big hearts
and a regular ptculon for loak'rig at "typcu
of fair women , " so they sutwerlbpJ for both
x-JKazInes. After handing over their co'.n
ti Mr. WKson , that bland young Individual
v.-roto out receipts for the mcuey obtained
Hid pivc them to the prospective subserlb-
: ra. There are now a largo number of these
receipts in the desks of Cir.aha attorneja
freight men and bank clcrka that can be
obtained very cheaply.
Kach receipt was printed In businesslike
Form. On the receipts for subscrlptic-ns to
The Cosmopolitan was a note saying that if
the magazine aheuld not arrive within two
weeks after the payment of the nubscrlp-
tlon , complaint should bo made to The Cos
mopolitan Company , Limited , New York
31ty , N. Y. Two weeks eMpzod and a num
ber of the suppDs3 subicribars noticed that
the magazines did not arrive. Four weslts
passed by , and the popular monthly did not
begin Its promised vlslUs. When the tlmo
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 tiot yet received rny replies.
Silil ono of these gentlemen to The nee
yesterday : "It la 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 , havs neither tec-i : acknowl
edged or returned , Indicates pretty clearly
to my minds that there Is somebody in New
York receiving the mall , who k > In collusion
with Wilson , or whatever his name- really
Is. "
When asked why complaint had not been
made to thepciital authorities several ot
the Kuntlemca aald that they desireto Incur
no publicity in the matter , preferring to
lese 75 cents or $1.50 rather than to be
advertised as having beai victimized. It is
pwv'.ble. ' however , that sonio of the victims
nviy call the attention of the postal de-part-
men I to the matter within a few days.

The crisp , bracing air and Iho covering of
whlto upon the ground , took many people
out ot tholr honicu yesterday In order to
enjoy a winter day rf unusual beauty. Many
of the people of Omaha had begun to think
that winter was Indeed over , The return of
the snow and coM air from the north eamo
as n glad respite to un.scasonablo weather ,
Ono of the main points of Interest around
obmit the city yesterday won the exposition
grounds. I'orsoiiH who had v/ndcd through
mud nearly tihou-top high on previous Hun-
days wuro not deterred oi > account of any
such conditions yesterday , for thu ground
wan frozen hard and gave excellent footing.
As a result thu grounds went thronged from
an curly hour until late at night with alght-
scbia. nfoot and In nlellM [ and others on
pleasuni bent. Of Ihceo In sleighs thorn \\a.i
an unusual number , for the heavy fall of
snow tilled up the loiulv.'nys and made the
pastime delightful.
Among thu sicatcra on the lugoon nothlnc
better In Iho form a ! weathur or leo could
bo a.sl.-L'il. It was estimated by Manager
Swobo that between 1,200 and 1,600 people
availed thoniselviM of the aViooth curfico
of the lagoon. Thu snow wus mvopt off the
ten us far east lu the brldgu and this spaci > ,
Including the mirror , afforded ample room
for all who wished to enjoy the pastime. The
toboggan elldo was placoj In coiumUslon und
many people patronized It during the after
noon and evening. A upcclal program of racea
and sports , Including thu utormlng of a snow
palace was arranged by the management
and all were successfully carried out with
Iho exception of the destruction of the pal.
ace. This was erected at the west end of the
mirror and on accident effected Its demoli

toke a hand.
Starting In at 3 o'clock the Bkalorlal artist

The big coming event In local German socle
ties Is the celebration of the thirtieth mini
versary of the Omaha Ttirnvrroln , which late
to take place In Gcrmanla hall on the even
Ing ot February G. Prepaiutlons for this
affair are being made on qulto au cxtenulvc
scale and the present Indications are that
it will bo highly Interesting nnd enjoyable
The program for'the ' occasion , which va.i
published In yesterday's Bee , Is largely o
an athletic character. This ! . very natural
Inasmuch as the gymncslum b the centra
and main feature of German turning socie
ties , the sonUl stdo being secondary to It
Moreover the program Is calculated to shou
the great Improvement made in the work
of the turnvcreln and will lo a complete
exposition of the methods that > \ro now in
vogue. All the classes will to rcprtduntci !
on the stigo from the children up lo the
bears , even Including thu cltAa ntvo.cn. .
They will go through all thu drills and ex
orcises which are the ; ilmo.jt daily work ol
the members of the tunivoreln.
A lilg committee Is in chnrgo of the ar
rangements. They prepared the program
and they also have charge ot the other fea
tures of the celebration. Among other things
arrangements are being made to lavishly
decorate the hall on the evening of the
affair. The entertal'imcnt will be exclusive ,
Inasmuch as admittance can only bo secured
by Invitation. It U proposed , however , to In
vite rt large number ot the noii-menibcra of
the turnvcreln and there 'o ' no doubt thai
almost the eir're ' membtisln , ) with tueir
families will uo present.
The Oniahi I'urnvcieln Is one of ihe old
est In this , ve.s'ri : ; country , iniy a few oth
ers surpassing it in age. Evci ii it caanot
boast of Its length of i-xlstutice , however ,
the membeia Inks sreat pride that It ntantia
among the first societies In the whole coun
try In point of excellence and the advan
tages -offers llu momicrs.
This celebration will In a measure go to
show the great pride the German-Americans
In this cctratry 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 r.ow used In America , or. In fact , In
the eiitjro world. They are at any time
ready to Invite competition with It. It was
this very same pride which recently In
duced the Omaha turnvercln to offer the
free USD of Its gymnasium , apparatus and
Instructors to the pupils ot the High school.
The offer was at once accepted by the Board
oj Education.
As a result of this Invitation there are
between sixty end eighty girls of the Hlg'h
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 ct 2 and 4. 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 clams of boys of the High school Is now
bring enlisted and Is expected to be at work
shortly. These prpbably will have to meet
In the evenings , as the gymnasium is now
la use every afternoon. An attempt will also
bo made to get up a class from among the
teachers , nnd for the same reason these
will have to receive the Instruction lei the
evenings. The Idea has been very hnartlly
approved by a number of the teachers ami
It Is likely to be a go.
There are only three conditions rermlrpd
of the High school pupils. Ono Is that ! iu.y
agree to attend a full term. Another Is
that they attend regularly. The third Is
that they furnish proper gymnasium cloth-
Ing.
Gymnastics are considered a part of an
education by Germans nnd It Is for' that
reason that regular expcsltions of the work
of the German gymnasium will bo given In
the educational building during the exposi
tion. The required apparatus will be put
Into the building and on certain days a
class of twenty-live or fifty school children
will bo put through the drills and exercises.
This will bo qulto a feature of the building.
In orTcr ra orecicnt more fully to the
Omaha public the merits of the German gym-
r.jstlc system , a nubile entertainment la 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 t'jo affair will probably cecur In the
alter part ot March. It Is proposed to have
all the classes represented and to have thorn
? o through the entire system of exercises.
This entertainment will aao ! be employed to
swell the fund tl.at will be expended during
the big tuTtifest that U to bo held hero la
June. This will 'call ' for several thousands
o ; dollars , since the prizes will have to be
ti.'i.jrcprlate to the iinoortanco and size of t'jo
affair and also because the local tunivoreln
will bo called upon to properly rare for the
jctlvo turners who will participate In the
contests. The entire burden will fall uixan
tlio turnverin , as it has determined that It
will not ask for any donations from the cx-
) osltlon directory or the citizens of Omaha.
Omaha has little Idea of the size or Im
portance of the proposed turnfcst. It will
attract moro i > ocplo to tills city than any
convention tfoit will bo held hero. No less
and ijrobibly more than DOO active turners
vlll participate In the contents and thoutandj
; f Germans will bo In attendance an spec-
: ators. Omaha Is the heart of a dlatrlH
which Is thickly populated with German-
Americans and a good proportion of these
are certain to attend the fest. The com
mittee that ha * 'tho turnfost In charge Is
iomewlttt bothered over the matter of eecur-
ng a proper loeallon for the holding of the
contests. Omaha Is poorly supolied with the
( .jrci.jor sort of grounds. The new fair
grounds are too far out and therefore would
not be suitable. The committee Is now
timing 1M attention to the old fort R rounds ,
which would furnish an ideal placo. An
effort will probably bo made to Indjico the
government to allow the tup of the
sroumls for the purpose. Not only would
hey provlJo an excellent place for the con
tests , but the empty barracks would also
polvo the question of housing the active
participants In the games.
The local turners will also have the op-
lortunlty of entertaining tluring the turn-
'f ' > Bt a largo number of eastern members. On
July C the biennial meeting ot the national
urnerbund takes place In fan Francisco
inJ a largo number of eastern delegates
will be In attendance. EtTorts are already
le-ltig made to Indnco thcsa to pass through
Omaha and many of them have aprccd to
do sa. They will be given a reception null
are expected to stay over two or three days
o view the exposition , and to witness the
urnfest.

Napoleon" and won last night's game by
11 score of 4CO to 3TS. The finish was a heartbreaker -
breaker , and but for an unfortunate kiss
that caused the balls to line up for Ives
the result would probably have been re
versed , as 'he ' was in wed stroke and had
t.ie balls In good position.
It Is probable that Ives and Scliacfer will

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. ( Special. ) Now
that congress Iswith us the lobbyists aru
with congress. There Is n vague but wide
spread Idea among those who have not soon
the congressional machine In operation that
the lobby corrupts congress. The lobby
might fairly rr.'tort that the danger lies the
other way. At all events It Is certain that
no senator or representative will ever have
a corrupt proposition made to him unless
ho Invites It , and even then the Invitation
may bo extended In vain. This was the dis
appointing experience of at least one rcp4
rcsentatlve In the last congress. Ho was one
of the accidents who caught the tidal wave
of 1894 on the crest and was floated Into the
hou3e. Ho spout most of hU tlmo going
about among ( the representatives of special
Interests pltconsly beseeching them "to i\tl \
something for me. " The only thing anybody
did for htm was done by hU quondam con
stituents. They loft him at homo at the iioxt
election.
Hespondlng to 'tho ' popular view of tha
lobby Senator Allen , the giant populist
from Nobrasha , Introduced In the senateon
iuarcli 10 a mil "to prevent professional
lobbying. " It defined a professional lobbyl.U
"to bo cny pnrson who habitually attempts
to Influence the legislative action of con
gress by soliciting a member thereof til
support or defeat a measure pending there
in , or In either house thereof , or before a.
committee of 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
ceerlcd to make lobbying In 'the ' capltol oj
the United Slates or the District of Colum
bia , or entering the District of Columbia
or the capital of the United States with the
Intention of lobbying therein , an ofienrso
against the United States of America. Any
violation of this law was to be punished by
n line oC not less than $1OCO nor more than
$3,000 , and imprisonment In the common
Jail ot the District of Columbia at hard labor
fcr not loss than ono nor moro than flvrj
years ,
BURIED IN COMMITTEE.
Tills drastic measure for scourging the
lobby from the capltol and from the DlsJ
trlct of Columbia and preventing Its CVP
re-entering 'therein ' was referred to th
committee on education and labor. It is per
feitly eafo to predict that nothing will eve
como cf It. The reason Is plain.
There are lobbyists and lobbyists. Ther
are those to whom lobbying Is a. calling ,
vocation. These form the professional clas
of lobbyists , and are the ones common !
railed at , and against whom Senator Alle
irofcsscdly launched his legislative shaf
Then there Is n class to whom lobbying I
only an Incident to another calling or pro
fesslon. These are usually lawyers called I
o argue easea before committees. Then ther
are persons who appear In their own Indl
vldual behalf , and they range all the wa
Tom heads of great corporations to th
iiumblo owners of little war or other claim
against the government , or petitioners fo
private pensions. Yet another clasa Is com
losed of the represenstatlvcs ot the India
: rlbes , from the blanketed Indians to edu
cated members of the five civilized trlbss
the Cherokces , who have a written l.inguag
of their own ; the Choetaws , the Creeks , th
Chlrasaws and the Semlnoles.
Senator Allen's bill would keep every one
of 'these standing without the bronze dosrs
ot the capltol and some of them would not
> e permitted oven to cross the boundary
incis of the District of Columbia , nut It
vonld not correct any real evil , If such ox-
sts. Yet It Is a very American measure. It
displays Ao characteristic national Impa-
lenee which leads our legislatures when
dealing with anything of which they disap
prove , but which somebody wants to do , to
seek , not to regulate It , but to prohibit It.
This tendency has loaded our statute books
vlth legislative enactments which are , always
iave been and always will bo dead letters.
The rplain truth Is that little of the corrup-
lon of congressional legislation. If corrup-
ion there bo. is by the classes named , not
even the professional lobbyists , men wlionc
onus and faces are as familiar to the capitol-
launters as these of the leaders of congress
hemsclvcs and a. good deal moro familiar
Uan these cf the rank and file of either
louse. If It bo done at all It Is elsewhere
nan at the ccgltol. It Is In the exclusive
lubs , at the fashionable hotels of the West
2nd , at favorite restaurants and cafes and
above all In society , at dinners , balls and
HUT swell functions. It is In t'.ieso places
ml by men whoso faces are seldom seen at
ho aipltol 'that congressional schemes nd
latters legislative are arranged , If they are
rrangcd. These are familiar facts to these
vho e&jonni within the gates of Washington
nd observe the current of events as It
ewe into the sea of the past.
MEMBERS WAIT TO IJE TEMPTED.
It Is ft fact that there have been grave
candals touching congressional action and
t Ls not necessary to go back to the days
f tile IMdfle Mall or ot the Credit Mobllier
o find them. Dut thesa srundals were not
rcatcd by the lobby any more than by the
) Ubllc Itself. The lobby did not oven "stand
n" on them. They were created by the leg- _
ilators , usually senators , themselves. Tim
passage or tno rmcrinan envor puruiiuBini ;
ct was followed by an Investigation. It
ill be recalled that silver went up proII- (
iously In price. This , though a perfectly
atural thing for silver to do under the clr-
umatan ca , laised a general howl , Hence
10 Investigation. There were ominous
whisperings that a senator would ho
"caught. " The usual flcoop-net method was
followed and everybody culled and examined.
At last Don Cameron wen asked If ho had
boi'ght ' silver. Ho promptly said ho had
bought & .000 ounces , had made money by the
transaction and was sorry he hadn't bought
more. "What of it ? " ho asked. Nobody
sec-mod to know ' /what of It" and that In
vestigation ended.
In the earno way the sugar schedule In
the Wilson-Gorman law brought on an In
vestigation , which was a purely senatorial
performance. Several senators shuflletl and
Htumblcd mightily. The BOH of ono and the
maid servant of another , being of mildly
speculative ) turns , hod dabbled , Just deibblod ,
no moro , In sugar utocka. Thcro were other
ludlcinuj answers , till Matt Quay admitted
ho had bought the retock and had a right to
do so. Everybody seemed to agruo to lilri
proposition and the farce- ended right there ,
except thaO two of the sugar magnates and aNew
Now York broker wore indicted for recal
citrancy as wltnoFseH 'before the committee.
With fine Impartiality the 'broker ' was con
victed In the d'utrlrt courts and the mag
nates acquitted with apologies.
LOBBYISTS ON AM. , MEASURES.
The alnrnla fact l that there are mighty
few measures 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 the mind of even
ono Benator or representative for or against
a given plcco of proposed legUlalloi ) .
whether this 'bo ' done within the walls of
thtf capltol or far 'beyond ' IU" " proclncta. And
It Is "habitual" lobbying when ono follow
n measure or an Interest tip from ouo con
gress to another , or Is Interested In mcas-
unu before moro than ono congress , whether
or not a-man nukes lobbying' his solo ibu.il-
IlCiU ,
Lobbying first roao to the rank of a Bclenco
under the masterly guiding hand of the cole ,
brated Ham Ward , first King of the Lobby ,
and them has been no other. Ho was a
man "f education and culture , polished ,
traveled , and the groataU epicure of his
day. Ho lobbied by means of dlnncra the
llko of which Washington had never known.
Ward eamo hero Just after the war. The
chief peculiarity of his drcoa was a rufllod
shirt front.
Following Ward , and his only emulator ,
eamn the late Dr. Robert Bruce Bradford ,
In 187C , Ho had 'been a member of the New
York legislature , public administrator ot
Now York City , and a consul abroad , Llko
Ward , Dr , Bradford was au oplcuro and .
lK > llshed mm. Ho occupied for many years
n largo house on Thirteenth street near Now
York avenue , In .tho very hwrt of Washington -
ton , where ho gave elaborate entertainments ,
with senators and representative ! ? as his
guests. The story Is told that t ono of
these dinners reed 'birds constituted the
chief delicacy. Among the guests was Sen
ator Vest of Missouri. Next day a fellow
senator , who hod .been Invited , but < lld not
BO , Asked him It lie had attended. "Yes , "
replied Vest , "I was there and had n great
time. I got the wing of . reed bird and
lost WOO at poker. "
So much for the theory of lobbying and
the two chief lobbyists of their day , the man
who made lobbying a science and the man
who maintained it In that rank , both gene
to Join the majority. The tendency In mod
ern lobbying , as In * o many other things
these days , Is townrd specialism. This fact
will abundantly appear In the list that fol
lows of those who today are making of
lobbying a vocation.
UNION PACIFIC LOBBYIST.
Colonel 13 , W. Ayrre , a former newspaper
man , for fourteen years represented the
Union Pacific railroads , his task being to
prevent adverse legislation. Perhaps Ayres'
most ciotablo feat was securing the passage
ot the McGarrahan claim bill through both
houses of congrc 8 In the face of nearly
thirty years of failure by others , only , then ,
to lese the fruits of his labors by mi exccu-
tlvo veto. The death of Mr. MeOarralmn
alone prevented dual success. Out of the
lost congress Ayres got $4,000,000 for the
Delaware breakwater. Ho also defeated the
location ot the Philadelphia mint buildings
at Broad and Cherry streets , although that
site had been approved , property condemned
and proceedings In condemnation affirmed
by the courts and carried the location to
Sixteenth anil Spring Garden. Ho Is a tall ,
spare man , blue-eyed , with thin face and
a hawk-Ilka nose.
Colonel Phil Thompson , n former repre
sentative from Kentucky , has long been the
chief representative hero of C. P. Hunting-
ton's Southern Pacific and Central Pacific
roads. Ho Is of medium size , blue-eyed.
handsome , good humored , high spirited and
popular. Ho Is a lawyer by profession and
Is said to receive an enormous salary. John
Boyd Is Mr. Huntlngton'a jicrsonnl repre
sentative , but leaves legislative matters to
Colonel Thompson. Mr. Boyd Is a former
house employe nnd knows all the Ins and
outs of the capltol.
Dr. Glavls represents steamship Interests ,
his task being to prevent the enactment of
adverse Immigration laws , his ships being
principally engaged In bringing Immigrants
into this country. It looks as though he
would prove a four-time loser this session.
Captain Sam Donelson of the famous Tenn-
> sseo Donclsons , former doorkeeper of the
louse , represents southern rallronda and
steamships. Ho Is a six-foot blonde and saw
service In the confederate army. He was
ono of the men who engineered through con
gress the bill to buy the Cherokee Strip , or
properly 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 all sorts
of things and Is very successful. Ho Is tall ,
as tall as Congressman Berry of Kentucky ,
whom ho somewhat resembles.
Joseph Rico , noted as the best story
teller at the capitol , Is a ruddy , handsome
man. Ho makes a specially ot local mat
ters , such as telephone and railroad Inter
ests , but is also In a number of outside
things.
DUDLEY HAS ELECTION CASES.
General W. W. Dudley , a former pension
'Commissioner , and who left a leg at Gettys
burg when colonel of the Nineteenth Indiana ,
looks after the local Interests , lias < tie sldo
or the other of a good many contested elec
tion cases and Is the sagacious represent
ative of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad ,
whoso president , John K. Cowan' ' , used his
privilege as representative-elect to go on the
floor and lobby for the pooling bill so ener
getically that he narrowly escaped being re
quired by the cpoakor , the late Charles P.
Crisp of Georgia , to leave the floor. As It
was his presence was bitterly alluded to In
ono ot tno speecnes against the bill.
John Cassells looks after Kio Pennsyl
vania railroad Interests exclusively.
S. C. Nolle , an acccirplishcd man , repre
sents the International Steamship company.
It wants a subsidy and .Mr. Ncalo will bo a
"good 'un" If ho secures It.
Colonel Harry Washington , a handsome
man with a gray moustache and Hashing
black eyes , Is in a number of things. He
was a member of the California legislature
forty-seven years ago and was with Walker ,
"tho gray-eyed man of destiny , " In Nicara
gua. Ho'was Nevada's first representative
In congress and while serving In that capac
ity was selected as cno of President Lin
coln's iMllbtarcrs. He and former Senator
Dawes of Massachusetts are the only sur
vivors of the pallbearcm of the martyred
Lincoln. Worthlngton was also In congress
from South Carolina.
II. J. Schultcls represents organized labor
In urging lie 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. Ho was engaged la an
attempt to collect from the government
moneys claimed to be due his firm on ships
built during the war. After years of ef
fort he got a bill through both houses dur
ing President Cleveland's first term. It was
promptly vetoed. McKay , who had always
been a democrat , went over to the support
of Harrison In 1888 , and did effective work
by go'ing to England and writing up the
: ondltlon of labor there , his articles 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 1m-
was the late Colonel Sam Reid , eon
of Captain > imucl Chester Reid , who com
manded the private armed brig General
Armstrong , which WHO attacked In the
lentral port of Fayal to the Azores Islands
n September , 1814 , by the British squadron
on Its way to capture New Orleans , The In-
urlos ho Inflicted , on the enemy were BO
cvero as to delay the squadron long enough
o enable General Jnekerci to prepare for the
defense of the city and to win ono of the
nest notable battles in the annals of war.
Captain Hold was also the designer of the
iresent form of the American Hag. His sen ,
Colonel Reid , In his old ago , managed to
collect the claim of his father for the loss
f the General Armstrong , then nearly threo-
luou'tcrs of a century old.
The most unique lobby over gathered to-
; cllu'r In Washington Is that mow hero In-
crested In the Hawaiian annexation treaty ,
t Undivided into tuo coctlois , ono for the
reaty , headed by former Minister Lorln
Thurston : the other against the treaty ,
icaded by the former queen. Prtwl-

Among the important dobuntantea In the
obby at this congri'Ea will be , It Is aald ,
Illary A. Herbert , former" representative
roni Alabama and Hccrctary of the navy In
10 last Cleveland cabinet. It Is understood
iat he will look after matters for thn Car-

AHUSI3 THRIH I'lllVILKOKS.
Last winter , nnd during the special PCTJ-
o Ion of eon gross last erring nnd 8itinm r ,
the floor of the senate was so oecupfoi ! by
former senntora eagerly pushing the mcwi *
urej In which they were Interested that
Uugeno Halo of Maine , not the most amlabtit
of eonators , on Juno 21 Inst gave written
notlco of nn amendment to the rules of the
senate. The object of Uib amendment wau
to deny the privileges of the floor of the
senate to nny former senators "IntercaleJ In
nny claim , or In prosecution of the samp ,
or , directly , In , nny bill pending before con-
grors. " As Senator Halo has not pushed
the matter It Is Biippooed that the mcro
thrust has had the dwlml ctfcct. It U cer
tain that fewer former senators have nvnllnl
themselves of their privileges to the lloor
nt the present session than nt nny session
In recent years , Ono former senator wan
scon the other day to enter the lobby .back .
of the senate chamber and to wait there
until , the 6-enator ho wanted to aw. hla
former colleague , could como out. Ileforo
Halo's notlco of his proposed amendment the
former wenntor would hnvo gone on the
floor and hnd his talk there.
In the house former representatives have

that Colonel 1'hll Thompson , though n
