SENATORS DEPEW AND PLATT Public Life at the Close of This Session—Buflfalo Jones Pro- vides a Feast ASHING TO N— There Is no more pathetic sight In public life to-day than the struggle of Senator Chaun- cey M. Depew, of New York to maintain bis former webonair manner and to be the genlal, popu- lar after-dinner orator and man of affalrs be has always been He now meat put forth a strong effort even (0 © smile. where formerly he threw back Bis head and laughed with the zest and heartiness of a carefree boy. | When he thinks anyone is looking at | him be forces a smile and attempts | _ kif old Jauntiness of manoer, but whea | ahe effort has pas<ed he ages ten years i fi & minute. He seems to shrink down ip his seat, his face becomes griy and «be lines of age are plainly The senator and his relatives deny hat he Is subject to apbasia, but there hss been unmistakable evidence that this malady has taken bold of blm | Grave fears are entertained that ita | | fr a sign of physical sad | mental breaking up. it Is well re | srembered bere that the first indica ~ tion of the collapse of the late Admiral .

He has conceived the notion that they have lost faith In him, and when he meets an old friend he will glance 3! him hurriedly, inquiringly sid apprehensively until he sees a welcome smile or a kindiy glance Senator Depew feels that Is life it would be no surprise ia the senate Senator Platt Failing HILE Senator De pew gives evi: dence of decaying at the tep, his col league, Senator Platt is withered and palsied in ever®ihing but his brain. Anyone to see Mr. Platt vir- tually carried into the senate cham- ber would wonder pe how a man in his ¢nfeebled condition could live 24 hours lis shrunken me, fleshiess hands and emaciated limbs show little or no life. He looks as though he did not weight 100 pounds. His brain, how exe, is as active as ever and through ki# Indomitable will he keeps at work end manages occasionally to get to his seat In the sspate chamber Recently, in conversation with ao cid-time friend, be confided to the lat ter that he proposed te retire from the senate after toms session has closed. He sald he did not care lo resign now, ¢# It would precipitate a fight for his scat, and conditions were not favorable for such a contes’ In New York at this Boy Hime. This %peans that Senator Platt bas not. yet completed plans for the hy of a man whom he wants to sieceed him. The only evidence that Mr Platt's mind Is pot as serene as ever ia ap irritability that he did not fermerly show. He Is testy at times, snd Impatient, and short even with his old friends Like Senator Depew, Ar. Platt be lieves that he has outlived his politi- cal generation. Ia the confidence of hi« home he will talk freely of the in- gratitude of the Republican party. He will rebearse the battles he has fought for the party and men whom he has made politically, and the disappoint. rents they have brought him. His only desire now he says is to leave pub lie life, retire to his farm in New York state, and spend what may remain of life to him in seclusion and away from the turmoil and care of politics A New American Meat. NUMBER of pub- lic men In Wash- fagton had a rare treat a short time ago when their dinner tables were furnished with a pew kind of meat The statesmen pay took of catalo steak and roasts, and have pro- nounced It the fluest meat that man ever ate This treat was furnished by “Buffalo” Jones, of Arizona, who Is known the country over for his efforts to preserve brid known as the catalo, which is a cross of ordinary cattle with the buf He had a specimen of this by rid cattle killed on his ranch aud fuio the meat sent on to Washington, where he distributed It among a number of bis friends. Mr. Jones was the first to evolve the bis statements of the results of his experiments. The Government, through the department of agricul ture, has been assisting bim. The ca talo, as he calls the hybrid, has ail the desirable qualities of both classes of its ancestors and those who have par- taken of the meat say It has even a than the beef steer of old. During his visit to Washington Mr. Jones gave a lecture on the catalo, and teld » large audience all about his pets. He had photogrgoh* apd mov. Gouches.

ISITORS at the capitol these days may bebold on the ficor of the house a man dressed In stylish tan clothes who always seems busy. Or as they pass through the public corridor they will see the same man cole verting & quiet niche In the wall into a commiltee room. This quiet dicta’ ng letters to bis stenographer and attending to congressional busi uess, entirely oblivious of the streams ~f humanity which whirl aboul him. This man Is Rockwood Hoar, a dis- tinguished son o. his distiogulshel [a- ther. He i= the son of the late Sena- tor George F. Hoar, and inherits much of the ability and independence of his father. He was one of three repub- licans who recently voted for an amendment to the Philippine tariff bill which was Intended to grant Inde- pendence to Lhe Filipino. He believes, a: did his father, that the United States should relinquish Its sover- elgnty over the Philippines and give to that people the right of self-govern- ment. Mr. Hoar made no speech on the subject, but with bis colleague, Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Fordney, of Michigan, he registered bis opinion in his vote. He is, at the same time, like the late senator, ag enthusiastic republican, and has made quite a record in his party. Mr. Hoar, being a new member, does not have a committee room of bis own, and he cannot take his stenographer on the floor, 80, as he is n busy man, he keeps his stenographer out in the corridor between two pil- lars while he dictates to him a lot of correspondence. This particular spot between the plliars has come to be known as Mr Hoar's committee room The Railroad Pass. HE cutting off of free railroad passes by most of the rallroads In the country has been the subject of comment, snd no end of amuse- ment among pub lic men. Maj Mc Dowell, of Pean- sylvania, clerk of i | the house of rep- “ resentatives,, who i# famous for his humor and wit, de- clares that the abolition ol the passes I* contrary to good order. And he can prove it. The other day he had to go to his home In Pennsylvania, snd for the first time in too many years for him to remember exactly, he bLeught a rallroad ticket. He sald he went up to the ticket window and as scrted his rights as an American cit: litn to purchase a ticket Much to his surprise the gentleman In charge tcok his money and gave him a ticket in return The major at once went to the cap flo], and after a number of congress men had assembled fn his office to listen to his good stories and smoke bis good cigars, the major determined to give them ocular proof that he was a free and independent American cit- {zen who could pay bis own way. “Gentlemen,” be sald, “1 am no cor- poration controlled creature The railroads cannot buy me with a paltry pass. | have paid good honest money for a first-class ticket and if you don't Lelleve me, there it 18” The major reached (nto his pocket to pull out his ticket, but a look of surprise came over his face when he did not find the little plece of card- board; then he looked all through bis clothes and bis pocketbook, but no railroad ticket appeared. “There,” he sald, “! knew that nothing but evil would come ‘from this unjust ruling of the railroads [| never lost a rall- road pass In my life, and here the first rillroad ticket | have bought In a great number of years | lose io an hour after I leave the office” The roar of laughter that greeted the major's predicament Indicated fat the joke was on him, but a few minutes later an employe of the ger. geant-at-arms’ office came In with the ticket, which be had found. Its res- toration, however, did not persuade the major that the abolition of the pusses was a good thing, especially when tickets are 50 easy to lose.

RAIDED BOK CARS Waverly—It gas reported to the police yesterday that a crowd of foreigners who were living in box cars at East Waverly had several women who were living with them and that 2 15 year old girl from Towanda was in the number.
