Former Minority Leader Does
Xot Expect to Take Active ,
Part in Party Councils Dur
ing Xext Session..
Ths Republic Duma,
lith St. and Pennsylvania Are.
Washington. Nov. 5 The Democratic
caucus will be held Friday afternoon or
evening In the House chamber. The
formal call for the meeting has not been
Issued, but the understanding as to the
time is general
Representative J. S. Williams of Mis
sissippi, who probablv will be the Dem
ocratic candidate for the speakership, has
arrived In the city. Mr. William'; begins
Monday his sixth term In Congress, hav
ing served as a Tlcprcscntntivo In the
Fifty-third. Fifty-fourth. Fifty-fifth, rif-ty-slxth
and ntty-seventh Congresses,
and been re-elected to the Fifty-eighth.
Mr. Williams has Ions been prominent In
the Democratic party and popular with
his fellow-members of the House. He Is
regaided as a. forceful speaker, being
quick at repartee and sharp in sarcasm.
When Representative Hay calls the
caucus to order It Is expected that Mr.
Williams will be decided upon as the can
didate of the party for the speakership
This nomination is equivalent to a formal
selection as the leader of the minority
party, and Mr. Williams wiU be so re
garded. The Democratic leader for tie' past few
jears has been Representative James D.
Richardson, who wjll close his long serv
ice In Congress with the end of the term
which ho enters Monday. On account of
his forthcomirur retirement from Congress
and from politics Mr. Richardson Is not
expected to take a prominent part In the
party battles this session. In future ho
will devote his whole time to the Masonic
fraternity. Mr. Richardson is the head of
the Scottish Rites Masons for the South
ern jurisdiction, an office formerly held by
the late Albert Pike.
LITTLE LEGISLATION EXPECTED.
When seen at his hotel to-day. Repre
sentative Williams said ho would -rather
not talk just yet as to the Democratic
policy In the forthcoming Congress. The
policy of the party probably will be de
cided at the caucus, and until that time,
he declared, nothing definite could be said.
There is a growing impression that the
coming Congress, outside of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty and routine affairs, will
accomplish little In the way of legisla
tion of national importance. It is not be
lieved that there trill be any currency
legislation, for too many influential men
In the Republican party are opposed to
it The "stand-patters" on the tariff ques
tion feel that they have the upper hand
and that the schedule will not bejihnnged
in any important particular.
With these two important subjects out
of the way and nothing else in sight at
this time. It is believed that tho session
will resolve, Itself into a very interesting
game of politics, everything being said
and done with respect to its bearing upon
tho presidential campaign jof next fall.
This is the general view ot the situation,
and the members of tho minority are pre
paring to measure swords with their Re
publican opponents at every turn.
In vle of these conditions and pros
pects, little minority policy is necessary
or likely. It simply will bea matter of ad
hering strictly to Democratic principles
and maintaining a close party vigil.

ships."

MEANEST AAD IIOSESTEST.
A Hovel Reason for the Issue at m.
Pass to a Kentucky Man.
Doctor J. R. Lemen of the Marion-Sims-Beaumonl
faculty, has just returned from
Kentucky, where ho was called in con
sultation on a complicated case. While
there he met the famous Tuse Johnson,
one of the strong railroad figures of that
Stato and a man of remarkable character,
now advanced In years. Mr. Johnson told
Doctor Lemen how he came to have an
annual pass on the Louisville and Nash
ville. Tho" pass was issued to him on the
ground that he Is "the meanest and hon
estest man In Kentucky."
Johnson owned a railroad which, the L
& N. needed as a feeder. He held out for
a good price and his Own terms, and got
both. For this President Smith of the L.
& N. listed him as the meanest man in
the State. ' However, Johnson had abso
lutely vetoed a stock manipulation by
which he would have profited largely and
which would havo made expensive compli
cations for the L. & N. Smith thus classi
fied him aa the "honestest man." On the
report of the president as to Johnson's
dual character the L. & N. board unan
imously ordered the pass to bo issued.

MAY PASS LOTTERY MEASURE.
.Cuban Senate Tries to Devise
Substitute for Taxes.
Havana, Nor. 5. The Senate to-day
took up the national lottery bill and
passed the first article. It is believed that
the bill will pass both houses of Conffrcss,
but tho majorities in lt3 favcr "will not
be sufficient to override the certain veto
of President Palma.
The Cuban national lottery bill was sug
gested as a substitute for the takes levied
on sugar, tobacco. liquors and matches.

REPCT3LIC SPECIAL
Clriclnnatl, O., Nov. 5 The State Jour
nal of Columbus, O., long recognized as
the Republican organ of this State, meant
to come out openly this morning for Sen
ator Sanna for President, but did not;
anaJthereby hangs a tale.
. A strong editorial was written stating
why Hanna was the only available man.
Thls editorial was wired to tho St. Loula
Republic and to morning papera in Cin
cinnati, Cleveland and other cities out- of
the State. It was tiircd at a lato hour
w ith the note that tho name of Hanna for
President in 1S0-1 would appear at the head
of tho editorial page of the State Journal.
At 2 a. m. another message was sent
out from Cleveland stating that It was
all off. It appears that the Cleveland
papers acquainted Mr. Hanna with tho
fact that the editorial was to be pub
lished. The Inference is that Hanna Immediate
ly placed hlnmclf in communication with
Columbus for an hour, with the result
that the State Journal wired all pacers
not to print tho editorial.
The State Journal did not come out with
Hanna for President at Its masthead.

SAYS OKLAHOMA STATEHOOD
WOULD BENEFIT ST. LOUIS.
U. 9. McGalrc, Delegate to Congress,
Slakes Stntcment on His Way
to Wnshlnffton.
B. S. McGuire, Delegate to Congress
from Oklahoma, with his wife and sec
retary, was at tho Planters yesterday, en
route to Washington to attend the open
ing of Congress.
1 Mr. McGuire Is a native of BeUeville,
111.,, and has a lively Interest in St. Louis,
as well as his adopted Territory, which
he soon hopes to make his adopted State.
That, In fact. Is his principal object In
the forthcoming session.
"With the rapid extension of the Frisco
and Rock Island Itailroad systems In Okla
homa," said Mr. McGuire, "St. Louis has
a strong reason to join In our aspirations
for statehood. Our merchants aro coming
here in large numbers every year. State
hood will give us greater powers for the
advancement and regulation of railroad
enterprises, and with all that St. Louis 13
going to obtain, a very practical ad
vantage over Chicago and other cities.
"It is somewhat of a mistake to think
that Oklahoma In any way wants to hin
der the advancement of Indian Territory
to statehood nlth us. Thero Is only this
about it, however. Under her treaties with
every Indian nation, except the Creek,
Indian Territory cannot possibly attain
'statehood until 1906. Oklahoma, on the
other hand, with a population of 759,400,
uith cities doubling In population since
even the last census, with its magnificent
school fund, amounting to nearly Jl.'KW.OOO
annually, believes that sho should be ad
mitted now.
"We are navlner Kansas manv thonnndii
of dollars a year for the maintenance of
prisons and other State institutions that
we cannot now have, and our material
and educational progress has been so great
that we cannot but do all in our power to
urge the lmmedlato passage of the act
that trill enable us to assume full powers
of statehood.
"The recent visit of Congressmen from
all parts of the country, arranged by Con
gressman W. R. Hearst, convinced me
that many members were greatly Im
pressed with our development, and I have
every hope that Congress will early in the
session accede to our request for admis
sion." SAYS GOVERNMENTS' DUTY
IS TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
