Interfere in any way in any political

?vit> ridiculed froiii the very start When
It became apparent that Mr. Rryaii
Was opposing the election of Senator
Martin as minority leader. I'TOin that

Continued to l>e i hot one. Every
phase of the Virginia Senator's record
In the tariff light has been threshed
out. It was charged that as lie had j
voted with senator Aldrlch on many
of the tariff schedules and no other
Democratic Senators had done so. with
the exception of the two from Louis?
iana?both of whom were high pro?
tection men that lie should not be
elected Democratic leader.
Senator Marlin was aide to over?
come all of these attacks and to win
out easily when the caucus met, as wits |
predict* d in this correspondence yes?
terday. Ills friends to-night are con- !
gra t ula t ing him on his election and !
predicting that because of Iiis cool !
lie.id. wise judgment and line mann
gcrlal ability he will prove to Iiis .<
coleagues. even those who opposed
Ii I iii. that tlicy. have made a good sc- j
lection.
As minority bad-:. Senator Martin'
v ill have no easy task, It will bo
his duty when tho reciprocity bill '
comes he (ore the Sopato so to manage
the Democrats that there can he no !
reason to claim that they were re- '
sponsible for delay in putting It
through if th<- Republicans make trou- j
bie. in addition to thin, the handling
of the r< gular tariff bill, which will
he the big feature of the present scs- 1
slop, -sill fall largely op his shoulders.
In view of the fact that this re?
sponsibility will he borne largely by
Senator Martin, and tluil he has a
campaign on in Virginia for re-clou
IIoil to the Senate, his friends say to?
night thai he has shown considerable
unselfishness in being willing lo as?
sume the extra burden when he might
be devoting his time to his own in?
terests and to the campaign.
The general feeling is t!>:?? the Dem?
ocrats have made a wise Selection,

Friends of Senator Martin were much
elated yesterday over the news of his
election as chairman of the Democratic
caucus and leader of the minority in
the Cnlied States Senate. This ac?
tion, which puts Virginia's senior Seir
ator in the position of one of the na?
tional leaders of the parly, is regarded
as a compliment to htm and as
Strengthening the place of this Stan- in
the management of the- country's
affairs
The Senator said during his recoil I
viHt to Richmond that ho had been
approached on the subject of accept?
ing the leadership. hut hail said he
would accept only on condition thai
pthe Democratic senators would he a
unit for him, ami for tin- sake of party
harmony. It is now fell that he would
n it have accepted in the face of oppo?
sition, were it not for the light made
on him by William .Jennings Uryall:
To have declined under lire, his friends
here say, would have been to have
the stigma of defeat at the hands of
the Nobraskan, and would have been
an admission of The charge of being
a reactionary.

Washington. April 7.?The dr.-? for?
ma5 conference of Republican House
lenders, including representatives of
the Insurgent portion ol i he parly,
was held this afternoon in the oillces
of Minority Leader Mann. It followed
a refusal of the Democrats to give up
any more committee place-- to the Re?
publicans or tu restore (he proportion
that ins heretofore existed between
the two parties in the committee as?
signments.
After the conference Air. Mann gave
nut a statement bitterly arraigning
what he called the "unfair, arbitrary
and brutal action" of the Democrats
in "trampling the rights of the minor?
ity."
The statement promises a lively Re?
publican light to take advantage of
every parliatne-niary privilege to make
thing? hot on the floor,
Mr. Mann submitted the situation to
the conference of leaders this after?
noon, and asked Whether ho should
not refuse entirely to name corn mit -
tees on the limited basis ot represen?
tation given by the Democrats. It
wa.- determined to go ahead with the
selection of Republican members. Mr.
Mann stated after tue conference that

the same bid trick o? a forgotten
trinket left in the other man's studio;
and the same old discovery and mis
const ruction, resulting In the bus-'
band's fury and violent ''j'accuse"; and
the same old reaction on the part of ,
the wife, resulting in some fury on
her own part at the husband's accusa?
tion. Then the good artist shows the
husband thfr picture, with the purity
and beauty and faith shining out of'
its painted eyes; everything is ex?
plained to the satisfaction of the hus?
band, .and everybody is happy?except
the villain ami the aitist. who loves
his model,
It was all conventional to the last
degree, except one scene, which was
somewhat more than unconventional.
In the second act the curtain goes
up. discovering Miss Ha rued posing as
"The Blessed Damozcl She is half
seated on a raised, yellow satin post
in n blaze of light, while the artist
paints away over in a dark corner.
The model is enveloped lit a sort of
white veiling wrapped and draped
about her pink-clad form Kxcept for
her bare arms, she is really draped
from nock toe, but when, after some
useless talk, she steps down from the
dais, tho drapery catches, accidentally
or intentionally, and her bare feet anil
more are exposed. tiring the rest of
the act she wears nlsb a kimonn. for
the most part very much open at tho
neck.
In the first act Miss Harried was
pleasing: In the second she played the
part as it was dressed; In the third she
"tore pas.-lon to tatters" anil was much
applauded for her terrific, virngo-llkn
denunciation of her husband, and the
fourth nek was simply one long sob
on her part.
Paul Harvey, as the artist, was fair?
ly satisfactory. He js the stage man?
ager of the company, so he had no one
to tell him that a man who is supposed
to have traveled a great deal and "gone
out" with good people for years would
hardly leave the hands on Ids cigars,
as he persistently did. Merle St an ton
was laughed at by some for her bur?
lesque conception of the Irish maid's
hit. Ferdinand Municr left undone
everything that could easily be thought
of to convey the idea of the rich,
