As Rome has no taste for replying to provocations, but Is sorely conscious of Its rights and duties, Mgr.

The Idea of making General Budde, Prus sian minister of railroad, the successor of Count von Buelow is regarded as ridicu lous, his political experience being consid ered much too Inadequate.

YOUNG MEN WHO GET THERE Senator Dtllirir's Trnisai Receives Many HlmtrauonJ, SUCCESS THE REWARD OF AMBITION Old Fogeylsna aad Red Tap Take a Bsvek Seat la Maay Public Omcea Wfcea Y ; America is la Charge. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May U. (Special.) It would be comparatively easy to fill a news paper page with tbe namee and records of young men who have recently proved the truth of Senator Dolliver's assertion that thire are still opportunities In thts Country for the able and ambitious young American Charles G. Bennett secretary of the United States senate is one of these. Mr: .Bennett Is the youngest man who ever held the of' flee. And senators, such as Allison, Piatt of Connecticut Morgan and a score of others who hav been a long time in the senate do not hesitate to express the opinion that he is the best man for the place who ever held it He haa organised the office in such a manner that it 1 today the very antithesis of what It used to Do. Neatness, order and good taste have sup erseded confusion, dirt and disorder. Th employe know what is expected of them and they perform their tasks. The library from being a mass of unsorted volumes In all stages of dllapldlUon, has been made. what It should always have been, a valu-1 able adjunct to senatorial work so systema tise that any volume can be obtained in ten seconds, whereas a week was some, times required in the old days. Not many years ago there was a pie and milk stand In the main corridor of the senate. The doorkeepers squatted down upon decrepld chairs with a convenient cuspidor dirty and naaty at their feet. The Janitors, appointed for political service rendered, paid but In different attention to their duUes, and in fact every branch of the secretary' office, as well aa that of the other admlnistr.tlve divisions of the senate were conducted in a slipshod manner which was a disgrace to the country. But Charles O. Bennett, sec retary, and Daniel N. Ransdell, sergeant at-arma, have changed all this. Every' thing has been reduced to a system. The document room is as orderly as th library, th aurroundlnga of the entrances are as neat and orderly aa the senate chamber Itself and tbe young man la responsible for the change. Elliott Vtsil aad Capitol Growmds. It Is seldom tbat a young man is able to how th "old fellows" that be is made of the right stuff in so hort a time a Elliott Wood ha required to demonstrate that no mistake was made when he waa ap pointed superintendent of the oapltol build ing and grounds. Mr. Woods first big con tract waa carried out in the fall of 1901, when in a few months' time he tore out all the Interior of the weat side of the old oapltol building, formerly used aa the home of the Congressional library, and completely remodeled It The work waa a revelation to men who are familiar with the alow pro cess of oonstructlon work for the govern ment and naturally when Mr. Clark, the long time architect of th oapltol, died la th fallowing January, Mr.. Woods was th only man thought of as hi successor. He ha held hi present office for two yeare and eo well Is he regarded by the member of the senate and bouse committees on ap propriations that they have entrusted to htm the work of construction of the new office buildings for both tbe house and senate as well aa the preliminaries for the extension .of the capltol. At. Mr. Woods' suggestion he has been authorised to em ploy the services of some of the best archi tects in the country a consulting experts, but he himself Is charged with the proper expenditure of nearly 10,000,000 and his record guarantees that every dollar will be properly expended and that the result will be entirely satisfactory to all those who will use the building which he will construct. Mr. Woods is a young man, almost boyish In appearance. Builds Wlthoat a Scaadal. The Pennsylvania members of congress are very proud of a young man who ha arisen to eminence in the architectural profession In Philadelphia and Harrisburg, A few years' ago the capltol of the state was destroyed by fire. Designs for a new building were invited from architects all over the country. The award was made to Joseph M. Huston of Philadelphia, a young man who had become rather well known through his work in the city of Brotherly Love, but whose reputation outside that city was still to be made. Mr. Huston began work In earnest From the concrete foundation, through the material for the superstructure, up to the mural .decora tions of the interior he Inspected every pound of material and examined every sketch himself. He visited the granite quarries In New England and to the great astonishment of "expert" of great experi ence he demonstrated that it la possible to get material out on time. He made a trip to Europe, where Pennsylvania ar tists are preparing the decorated designs, to satisfy himself that hi Idea ar being carried out He 1 building for the Har risburg capltol one of the most perfect publlo buildings in the world, and he Is doing It without the waste of a dollar, without the slightest breath of scandal. He will finish it completely within the specified time, and, what Is far more re markable, within ths limit of the appropri ation. George B. Cortelyoa' Record. The selection of George B. Cortelyou for chairman of the national republican com mittee Is but another evidence that the young men are rapidly forging to the front In the affairs of this country. Mr. Cor telyou, while closely collected with the, presidential office for the past twelve yea) Hi comparatively unnnown until Presi dent McKlnley chose him as the succeHS.ir of the late John Addison Porter as presi dential secretary, upon the resignation of that gentleman In 1899. George B. Cor telyou was first known to the newspaper men of the capltol when a clerk In the office of Assistant Poitmaster General Maxwell In the second Cleveland admin istration. President Cleveland needed sn additional clerk in the executive office end Mr. Maxwell recommended Cortelyou. The appointment was made and President Cleveland very soon discovered that he bad obtained the very man be needed In hi official entourage. Mr. Cleveland during his first term had as his secretary Daniel B. Lamont than whom no better fitted man ever occupied that Important posi tion. But in USS when bis second terra began, h waa not so fortanat. He ap pointed Henry Tburber of Michigan, a well meaning, honest and faithful secr retsry, - who, however, lacked the prime essential of a auccessful secretary h utterly devoid of tact This quality developed In a marked degree In Georg 4Pntlnu4 a Second PagtJ MINERS CONVENE IN DENVER Western Federatloa Expects Se-saloa Will Be One of (he Most Im portant la Its History. DENVER, May K. The annual conven tion of the Western Federation of Miners, which probably will be the most Import ant gathering ever held by the organisa tion, will open here tomorrow. Over 10 delegates from Kansas, Minnesota, Michi gan and Alabama, as well as from th western states, will sttend. In the absence of President Moyer, who Is still detained by the military In Tellu. ride. Vice President J. C. Williams will preside. Perhaps the moat Important mat ter to be discussed will be the question of opening meetings of local unions affiliated with the federation. While the miners are striking for an eight-hour day, the federation will make another determined effort to have the eight hour law passed at the coming session of the legislature. It appears to be the sen of the miner that they shall not place any tickets of their own In the field, but "go down th line" for th party which they believe best favor them. It Is believed that President Moyer, Sec retary Hayward and the executive board, with possibly one or two changes, will be re-elected. Another matter of great Im portance will be the discussion of the af filiation with tbe American Federation of Labor. Max Morris of this city, who Is fourth vice president of the Federation of Labor, haa received a telegram from Pree ldent Compete naming himself. President W. L. Mahon of the International Associa tion of Street Car men; R. Cornelius of the Ssn Francisco street car employes, and Chris Evan of th United Mine Worker of America a the committee to represent the American Federation of Labor.

In an interview to night, told why he would like to see Jo seph W. Folk of Missouri the democratio nominee for the presidency. Mr. Johnson said that according to his view of the political situation Mr. Folk would be a harmony candidate; that l, he would unite the factions that now adhere to either Parker or Hearst interests, or the prin ciples represented by these men. Folk waa aid to be a free man aa regard any entangling alliances in factionalism. - He would be agreeable to Mr. Hill and Mr. Cleveland and would be endorsed by Mr. Bryan, Mayor Johnson believed. The mayor said that hla opinion of Mr. Folk did not necessarily mean that he favored his nomination; there are other men, he said, who more nearly represent his Ideas and stand for what he does, but these men would ' be sure to meet with opposition from factional Interests In the party and would be weak aa candidate. Mayor Johnson 1 said he did . not believe Mr. Folk was seeking the presidential nom ination, that he was aa good aa elected governor of Missouri, but no man has ever turned aside the nomination of the preet- dency and declined to be the leader of a great party. .
