Correspondence of the Globe. [.Copyright.] Washington, Jan. 18.— The death of lion. Charles O'Neill, of Philadel phia, throws the mantle of U'.e father of the house upon lion. William S.

William Penningtou, of New Jersey, was elected speaker, and John W.Forney clerk when Mr. llolman be:ran Ins career as a oonsrrcss inan. Schuyler Co! fax was speaker and Edward MePherson clerk when Mr. O'Neill became a representative. Mr. Holitiau served thive terms and was dropped. He was not a member of the Thirty-ninth congress. He was elected to the Fortieth congress, served five terms, and was not re-elected to the Forty-fifth or Forty-sixth congress. Since then ho has served continuously. Twice he was beaten by Gen. Tom Brown, a gallant soldier and a hot lie publican. Mr.O'Neiil served four terms fe^^^ft^:?^^ JUDGE lIOI.MAN. fiiKi was defeated when a candidate for the Forty -second congress. He was elected to the Forty-third congress and served continuously until his death. When Mr. Ciisp was first elected speaker. Judge Holman as father of the house, administered the oath. When Mr. Crisp was re-elected Mr. O'Xeill administered the oath. The lovable Pennsylvania!) claimed to be the father of the house by virtue of the longest continuous term of service, and his claim was recognized. The new house is always called to order by the clerk of the preceding house. Strange to say, Edward MePherson, the Republican clerk of the Fifty-first congress, recog nized Judge iiolman as the father of house, and James Kerr. the Democratic clerk of the Fifty-second congress, called upon Charles O'Neill as father of the house to administer the oath to the speaker. Mr. O'Neill was very proud of the honor. The words '-father of the house" were placed upon his colti:; in flowers when he was buried. The title father of the house is one COXfiItKS.S.MAX BAILEY. apparently very highly prized. The breast of William D. Kelley swelled with pride whenever he was spoken of as father of the house. His wife took equal rieliel.t in the honor. When in Europe about eight years ago she asked her friends in addressing her to call her "Mrs. Father of the House Kelley." They did so with pleasure, to the great astonishment of some foreigners, who were unable to place the title. There is another singular incident at tending the death of Mr. O'Neill. His demise wiped out of existence an entire EOiumitteo of the house. He was the Republican member of the committee on library. Col. John 11. Fellows was its chairman, ami Col. Charles T. O'Ferrall. of Virginia, the additional Democratic member. Col. O'Ferrall was elected trovernor of Virginia, and Col. Fellows district attorney of New York county. Their resignations, aud the death of Mr. O'Neill, effaced the committee from the house list, something unprecedented in the annals of congress. Both Holrnan and O'Neill were hand some young men when they first ap peared upon the floor. The beginning of Judge Hotmail's career in the house was marked by the long struggle over the speakership, ending in the election of William Pennington, of New Jersey On Dee. 19, 1859, just after the eleventh ballot for speaker, the judge obtained the floor. Alter the withdrawal of Thomas ,1. Brooke as a candidate, he was about to make a speech when Mr. Winslow suggested that another ballot be taken. lie asked Mr. Uolman to irlve way to enable him to move that the house proceed to another ballot. "With that understanding I will yield the floor to the gentleman from North Carolina," replied Mr. Holman. They were the first words he had ut tered in the hall of the house. The twelfth ballot was taken and Winslow and others unred another, The judge was so modest that he did not put in his claim to be heard. On the next day, however, he made his first speech, it fills two pages and a half of the Globe. It was upon motion to amend the jour nal. The speech analyzed the slavery issue, and wound up with a flowing tribute to Indiana. It contained very few facts adorned with Western elo quence. Today the Watch Dog's speeches contain more facts and less eloquence. The sveeeli wound up thus : ! "With the cohsfdi of Indiana no par ricidal band, in the iruuJenco of Dride. or the madneftof pover, shall touch the constitution for its destruction. will only consent that the Union shall be dissolved when In the lapse of ages its i 1 1 ust lions career siiall be completed and when the elements themselves shall be dissolved with fervent heat." Mr. O'Neill was in congress nearly three mouths before he sprung into de bate. It was on Feb. 85, 18.J4. The naval appropriation bill was under con sideration. Mr.,flo)sPan J«?.«.l |)£?n de nouncing 'what he lined 'the League inland swindle anil the New London project for a naval station. The bent of Ills speech may be inferred from the (olio wing extract: "I represent a Western constituency among whom no money for such pur- CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS. Doses is expended, and where the sub ject of ecenomy has more weight than any local consideration." Mr. llolmau got into a lively dispute with Mr. Bice, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Spaulding. of Ohio. Finally. Mr. O'Neill took the floor. He was as hot as an anvil on the Fourth of July. He moved to amend an amendment by striking out the last word, so as to get into the fight. Augustus Brandeiree, of Connecticut, representing New Lon don interests, had sarcastically de fended the League Island project, which had been termed a swindle. This mortified Mr. O'Neill and he jumped into the debate with animation. He re pudiated the word swindle ns applied to the Philadelphia yard, but allowed that it might be used in connection with New London. It was a short but telling speech and stung Brandegee to the quick. Augustus then denounced the League Island proposition as a swindle and touched the Philadelphia members on the raw. His remarks drew Samuel J. Randall to his feet. Randall was then a young and handsome member who haa sat in the house, exactly the same length of time as his colleague, Mr. O'Neill. Like O'Neill he had main tained silence for three months. His speech was shorter than that of his col league, and more to the point. It was compact and logical, and met every point made by Mr. Brandegee. The de bate dragged along through the after noon; O'.Veill spoke again, but Randal 1 held his peace. Judge Kelley, however, had a tilt which lasted until the house adjourned. William D. Kelley had entered the house in the previous congress. It was on July 4, IS6I. President Lincoln had called an extra session. The judge re mained quiet until July 19. Then he made a speech upon a proposition for the better organization of the military establishment. It was on a proposition to allow the loyal states outside of tl:e loyal slave-holding states to fill vacan cies at West Pdint created by the seces sion of the Southern states. It was a three-naiuute speech, diiect and to the Doint. It is interesting to note the first ap pearance ot these gentlemen on the floor of the house in discussion. It has been said that Roscoe Conkling, Beutoa McMillin and other men of national fame have remained silent for a whole session, and even a whole congress, be fore claiming the attention of the house. It is certain that in the last half of the nineteenth century no members were better known to the nation than Ran dall, Holman, O'Neill and Kelley. They promptly took part in discussions over legislative measures, but it will be seen that in every case the debates involved the interests of the constituencies thsy represented. The present house of representatives hHs many new members. A majority of them are younir men. Some will prob ably serve nearly, if not aa long, as the veterans named above. They have had an opportunity upon their entrance to confess not offered to Holinan, O'Neill, Randall and Kelley. It came when the silver debate and the discussion over the feiieral election bill were precip OVER THE GARDEN WALL. I— "Play 'Ofer der Garden Vail' feer der ba'Oy, Fritzy." 2— "All righd." Toot! THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MOBNING, JANUARY 14, 1804.— SIXTEEN PAGES. it .i ted upon the house. Most of them availed themselves of the opportunity. The debates elicited the fact that there are men atnone them Who ought to be kept in congress, and, if kept there.will bo productive of much benefit to the country. Foremost among these young iuimi is Joseph W.Bnjley, of Gaines ville, Tex. 'i all, . handsome, studious, demonstrative, and gifted with a re raarkuble flow of language, he already coiiiiiiaiids clo^o attention when taking the floor. Mr. Bailey served throughout the Fifty-second congress. His experi ence there has greatly benefited him. He has learned when to oppose a bill and when to advocate one. v In the last congress he might have been termed an individual filibuster; in this congress he is more prudent. His abilities are no longer wasted in prolonging individual opposition to a measure. It was due to his efforts that the Torrey bankruptcy bill was defeated. Whether its defeat is an injury or a blessing to the country matters not. He led the opposition, and led it in a masterly manner. His closing speech was a marvel of argument, logic and eloquence. It charmed the house, and the orator was universally congrat ulated. But the man who destroys is not al ways able to build. The destroyer frequently V rests contented with his work. Mr. Bailey, however, is not such a man. With the defeat of the Torrey bill lie has brought in a bill of his own, providing for involuntary bankruptcy. Its fate rests in the cocoon of time. If tux displays the energy shown in assaulting the Torrey bill, and advances arguments as effective as those then advanced, the chances are that his effort will be crowned with suc ,cess. ... More than this, Mr. Bailey has pre sided in committee of the whole with singular ability. The house has fully recognized his talents, and he stands upon a much higher plane than he oc cupied in tie Fifty-second congress. If no mutation in politics intervenes he has a brilliant future. Ten years from now lie o.ight to be the leading mem ber from the largest state in the Union. He is now thirty years old. Judiru Ho) man wns thirty-seven, Samuel J. Randall thirty-six, Charles O'Neill forty-two and William D. Kelly forty seven years old when they entered con gross. Mr. Bailey has long dark hair, is clean shaven and wears conventional broadcloth, with a low cut waistcoat. "His hat is the usual Texas sombrero. Another young man evidently dcs lined to be one of mark is John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi. He is thirty nine years old, and received his educa tion at the University of Virginia and the University of Heidelberg. Like Bailey he wears a frock coat and is neatly attired. His father was killed at Shiloii while in the Confederate army. Mr. Williams has practiced law in Ten nessee and Mississippi and is a cotton planter. His oratory is fervid and at tractive. He can amplify and abridge with equal facility. He made a remark able speech in the house on the silver question near midnight. It held those. present spell-bound. Some might fancy that he lacked taste in delivery, but time wiil certainly wear away all im pertections. The material is there and the quality of the man is bound to de velop. A second speech was made before a full house with good effect. Beyond his ability as an orator, Mr. Williams watches closely the proceedings, and always attends the meetings of his com mittees. Mississippi has sent no more promising man to congress since the days of Sergeant Smith Prontiss. Chastened by experience and toughened by woik, he will undoubtedly attract national attention. A third man worth noting is Champ Clark, of Missouri. This gentleman succeeded Gen. Mansur. Mr. Clark is tall, light complexioned, clean shaven, has regular features and the magnetism of a true Western orator. He has worked on a farm, clerked in a country store, edited a country newspaper and practiced law. He lias been district at torney in the county made famous by Joe Bowers. He graduated at Bethany college, Virginia, and when twenty three years old was president of Mar shall college, West Virginia. He ranks high in scholarship, and has a quaint ness in discussion peculiarly attractive and practical. His speeches in the house sustain the reputation made by him In Tammany hall on July 4 last. They force the closest attention. His similes, tropes and metaphors are trite and at times set the house in a roar of laughter. The story of his trouble in a Washington restaurant was grossly exaggerated, and has not dimmed his reputation in congress. He is ever in his seat and never shirks work In com mittee. Missouri, in time to come, will assuredly be Dr ,ud of him. Another young man destined for fame is Joseph L. liawlins, the delegate from Utah. He made a speech in December on the bill providing for the admission of Utah into the Union, that stirred the members 10 an unusual pitch of enthu siasm. It ought to send him to the United States senate. There are other youug members, equally worthy of mention, whose names miiy be reserved for a future letter. Amos J. Cummixgs. TRANSCONTINENTAL WaR. | EFFORT TO BRING THE CKADUN PACIFIC INTO LINE. AJIEKICAN LlMv* JKEBTING. Official *or tho Northern Pacific^ 1 Groat Xoi'tliern nnd Other Trnncontinental Lines Meet ing Struggling to Maintain the New Hate Sheet — Canadian Pa - oilio Making Trouble. Tho rate aheet made by the North Pacific coast lines, ami effect! vo Jan. 1, will Hvh if the heroic efforts to maintain its vitality made by the interested roatls cou:its for aiiy tliiiiir. Matters are not as bright, liowevt'r, as could bo desired, still there is some encouragement, not withstanding. The Chicago conference as is known, was without present tangi ble results. Mutual discussion was had. whicli may eventually result in something. Even after ajourn nient. General Traffic Manager Ilan naford, of the Northern Pacific, was the only one who irumcdiotely left the scene. For a day or two after the other representatives lingered about tho fires of their expiring hopes. It is thought there was some "method in their madness" in so doing. The eno is not yet come, the way matters look now. General Passenger Asrent Whitney, of the Groat Northern, made a flying trip home yes terday, to return again on Monday, ac companied, it is said, by General Traffic Manager Finley, of the same road, who has only been back to St. Paul for a day or two. General Passenger Agent Fee. of the Northern Pacific, is still there, so it looks as though matters might linally reach some sort of a conclusion, after all. General Passenger Agent Ilibbard, of the iSoo-Pacific, returned to Minneap olis on Friday inorniug.Now it is claimed that Messrs. llibbaril and llanuai'ord will make Chicago their Mecca also in a day or two. Tuis gathering, it is intimated, is but preliminary to another transcon tinental meeting to be called in a few days. Tliis meeting may settle the mooted question definitely, or at least for a time. With true British pertinacity, the Canadian Pacific still holds fast to its pet differ ential, ignoring the long-buried corpse of the Transcontinental association. This acts as a thorn in the side of the Anferican lines. Mr. Finley admits that further efforts toward a settlement of matters have been made, but that everything is still indefinite.^ All hope that the Canadian Pacific may see the error of its claim in time, and that all these great lines may once more become a harmonious iamily. If matters do not reach some settlement before Jong a tedious late war may ensue. The position held by the Can adian line looks untenable to its Amer ican competitors, who cannot do business on its basis— that of §40 and $30 first class respectively, to Vancouver 1,000 miles, and the same fare to San Fran cisco, which is 2,700 miles to St. Paul. This certainly looks inconsistent. It is a question whether such rates are not injurious to Vancouver's interests, and demoralizing to the public. Un doubtedly all lines w« v d do a better business on rates that w> r ) steady t.nd not of the sliding scale variety. REPOKT DENIED. Winter Says i.runson Has Xot Been Dcposjii. There was a meeting at tie office of General Manager Waiter, of the Oma ha, yesterday, of the directors of the union depot company. Mr. Winter stated last night that action was taken in regard to the admission of the Chi cago, Burlington & Northern and the Chicago Great Western to membership. Aside from this, he said, the meeting was of a routiue nature. A rumor was afloat yesterday to the effect thatfcupt. Ijrunson, of the union depot company, was deposed from his position at yesterday's meeting of the directors. General Manager Winter, of the Omaha, who is also president of the union depot company, was made acquainted with the report last night and asked to deny or affirm it. Mr. Winter very promptly and unhes itatingly said: "There is nothing what ever in the report." An effort was made to find Mr. Brunsou last night, but without avail. A GHL.vr IMI'KOVICMENT. Soo Line Adds a Great Feature to Its Trains-. On Monday evening the Soo line's through Boston express will bo made up of new vehicles, from engine tender to the last sleeper, all vestibuied, and with exterior mahogany finish. This feature of the Soo line has been talked ot before, but they have added to their palatial equipment the Torgan ver tical Diane coupler, which combines safety and convenience. Cars may be added or taken from trains without dis turbing passengers, Any one who has been in a sleeper and experienced the "rocking" made by the frequently un successful attempts to couple or un couple cars will appreciate the change. Within the next few days all passen ger trains of this company will be equipped with this device. IT GOES TO DULUIH. One Fare Rate to the National Educational Meeting. Chicago, Jan. 13. -The Eastern com mittee of the Western Passenger associ ation tjday decided to make a one faie rale for the round trip to the convention of the National Educational association. to be held at Duluth in July. The thirty-day return limit on tickets will probaoly be abolished, and the lime fixed at four days. This is still Indefi nite, however. There is now a prospect that the ques tion of Cauadian Pacific differeniiiJs, over whicli the transcontinental lines were wrangling a week to no purpose, will be amicaoiy adjusied. The matter will be taken up Monday by some of the lines most directly interested and the trouble which caused a week's hard tight may be quietly arranged by mutual concessions. Arbitrators Meet Today. The Chicago Local Passenger associa- ' tion, by a resolution axlopted at a recent ! meeting, referred the charges pre- | ferred by the Atchison against the Chicago & Bock Island to the Western Passenger association. This matter, as well as an appeal taken by the Chicago & Alton, was re ferred t to arbitrators, consisting of Messrs. Fee, McCormick and Edwards. The arbitrators will meet at the Groat Northern hotel, Chicago, tomorrow morning to consider these matters. Failed to Terminate. It was anticipated that the conference between the officials and conductors, trainmen and switchmen of the North ern Pacific woula terminate yesterday, but it failed to do so. Adjournment was taken shortly after 5 p. m. to Monday, on which day it is anticipated that the protracted hearing will end. Cutts' Successor. The vacancy left by A. B.

For several weeks past General Man ager Case, of the Great Northern, and General Superintendent Bryan, of the same line, have been out on the West ern terminus of the road. Mr. Case is expected home today and Mr. Bryan on Monday. As usual, inquiries about the Great Northern headquarters as to the object of then prolonged absence resulted in gaining no information whatever. From very good sources, however, the rumor comes tuat they have not been out on a fruitless mission. In short, the general belief is that they went West, with a view of iaking the 'necessary preliminary steps toward a consolidation of the management of the Pacific coast lines, now operated by the Great Northern, and whose destinies have been presided over by P. P. Shelby, formerly general traffic manager here, with the St. Paul general manager's department. Of course, if such a move is to be carried out. it will be done in the interests of economy. The inference is that Mr. Shelby will be either out of a job, or possibly that he may be transferred to some other position. BELL. COUDS.

WA T R l l NEW S. | Johnson Wins Four Races on Soft Ice. A large crowd witnessed the afternoon skating races at the St. Crolx rink yes terday between John S. Johnson, or. Minneapolis; Harry Ilulse, of Toronto, Canada, and Harley Davidson, of St. Paul. The sun's rays had created havoc i with the ice, and this accounts for the slow time made by the skaters. The first race was a half-mile dash between ! Johnson and tlulse, Johnson winning in \ 1:50. Ilulsc spurted ahead at the start and retained the lead the fast two laps, when his skates caught in the soft ice and Johnson darted ahead, holding the lead until the finish. The last race was over a mile course, between David- I son and Johnson, and both of the skaters i were troubled by the soft ice. Davidson stayed with Johnson well, but Johnson I made a wonderful spurt in the stretch and won by about tea feet in.":55.
