has ervod more than one term n chairmanship chair-manship In the days before the purchase pur-chase of the i Maltby building and the fitting up of new rooms In the terrace and the old library a

years In his native State I he went to Seattle He had not been in ttufhlngton more than ten years before be-fore he was sent to Congress undls was showing him about the Capitol I and Introducing him

by subjects While ho was In the Senate Mr Pcn > r found such an index necessary When he was no longer In public life he yuj sosted that one should be prepared and he was selected to perform the work fIr found It very difficult to find when certain subjects were debated said Mr Poffor especially previous to kilt While I was In the Senate for anything that I desired later than that date I applied to Senator Sherman and he could always tell mo He had si I wonderful memory for all things that tram j lied during the period of his life In Congress He could trace tho dclmtoy upon important subjects

published pub-lished He accepted a lump sum from the publishers although ho wos told by them that It would no doubt be more profitable for him to receive n royalty It Is known that his reasons for selling the book outright was because he preferred I pre-ferred to make use of the money now and did not care to have It come to him In small amounts and for a 1 long period as It would under the royalty system The general impression among Senators and Representatives is i = that the book I will have a large sale as there are many persons who know the Massachusetts Massa-chusetts Senator well and his reputation reputa-tion extends to every part of the world where the history of the United States is read or known It is quite evident that the Senator takes pride In his production pro-duction although he does not speak of It In any terms that would be callled boastful Senator McComas has announced that the defeat of the Republicans in Mary land which means that I a Democrat will be his successor docs not mean that ho will give up the fight In that State He Buys ho shall continue to push his part idea with the same Igor as river uml will make an earnest contest next year to carry the

fingers He knew much of what was going on in the I Capitol ami ofUn carried political I Secrets fur days that wore not ripe for publication Many Important bulletins bulle-tins have boon received by him some 1 of them read In the Senate This was especially true during the t Spanish Will Hi received over the wire all the announcements an-nouncements of the election of United I States Senators which takes piece I usually when Congress is In session Mr Lee Is I row chief telegrapher In the I Department of Commerce a I position he secured on account of his good record I 1 while operator at the Capitol E JCtfl Vl 2 SESSIONS SENATE I There arc Senator who think that the executive t sessions of the Senate arc I L farce because important events which take place there are often reported These are usually new members of the Somite Men who have served for any length t of time as Senators do not favor ripen sessions upon many matter although al-though they say that much Is done In executive KOSHion that does not need to I be transacted behind closed doors At tile same time nearly all Senators think that treaties and a discussion of nomination I nomi-nation ahould he considered as conll denlial A notable incident when an I exception was made to this rule was the diFcuision of the fisheria treaty negotiated 1 by the first Cleveland ad minlslration with 1 Great Britain A coal jest way mndo for open l sessions led by I Senators Teller Fry and Hale antI the result was a public discussion of the subject und defeat of the treaty Senator Edmunds who was a member I of the
