siding officer of the senate he might from sheer
sympathy try to deliver some of those whose
deliberations he guards from the fate which once
befell him.
One of the speeches of length which Mr. Fair
banks made as a senator was on the question of
Panama. The speech was delivered not long
after the recognition of the independence of the
republic of Panama by the United States and
at a time when party feeling ran high. It was
a long speech and the senator gained much of
the fruit of glory, though he had to wait a long
time for it to ripen, and this was the way of it:
Senator Cullom had charge of the Panama
matter on the floor of the senate. The Indiana
senator went to Mr. Cullom and expressed hitf
wish to speak at a certain hour. Senator Cul
lom said "All right," and apparently the thing
was fixed.
The senate's business session was over and
the hands of the clock showed a quarter to one.
Senator Fairbanks buttoned his coat and started
to rise from his seat. Mr. Fairbanks is a long
man and the process of his rising is likewise
long. He was up finally, however, only to find
the aged Morgan was claiming President Pro
Tem Frye's attention.
A look of something like despair came into
the Indiana senator's face, for when Morgan of
Alabama got started on a speech neither gods
nor men knew when he would come to the end.
Senator Morgan, however, drove away the look
of despair from Senator Fairbanks' face by say
ing: "I wish to make a few remarks only."
Mr. Fairbanks sank bfcck in his seat and Mr.
Morgan with only two pages of notes on his desk
began to talk. He kept at it for twenty minutes,
came to what the senator thought was his climax
and then apparently started to resume his seat
The Indiana senator had straightened up again
and half opened his mouth to begin, but the
southern senator had straightened up again and
had on his desk two new pages of notes, which
he had drawn from a shelf underneath.
The Indlanan sat down once more and the
Alabaman went on with his renewed determina
tion. He spoke until half past one, came to an
other seeming climax and then made a movement
which made every one think he was going to sit
down, and this movement was a signal for the
Hoosler senator to rise again. But Mr. Morgan
had two fresh pages of notes and at It he
started anew. Mr. Fairbanks sighed and sat.
The other senators who had been held to their
seats by the belief that Mr. Fairbanks was to
speak looked at the aged but tireless Alabaman
and one after another left for the senate restau
rant for the luncheon hour was full come. Fair
banks, Morgan and Frye were left alone on the
floor of the senate, but the galleries had a
goodly throng, waiting to hear from the middle
west on the matter of Panama.
Senator Morgan talked in twenty-minute relays
with two pages of notes for each twenty min
utes and talked until the fifth hour. Then.Sena
tor Fairbanks, who until that time had held the
fort, saw the people departing and the minute of
adjournment nigh. He walked over to Senator
Morgan, held out his hand, and with the grace
for which- he is famous he congratulated his
southern colleague on the strength of his speech,
if not on its length and then walked out and had
luncheon and dinner at on* sitting.

EFORE Charles W. Fairbanks was
Elected vice-president of the United
States he held a seat as senator, rep
resenting the state of Indiana. When
he became vice-president, Mr. Fair
banks' utterances necessarily were
limited to such expressions as "calen
dar," repeated sixty times a day, and
Does the senator from South Caro
lina yield to the senator from Wis
consin?"
When he was senator Mr. Fair
banks spoke more than semi-occasion
ally and had the same trials in at
tempting to get the floor that beset all the other
senators. From one of Senator Fairbanks' expert
«nces it was thought that when he became vice
•^resident, and as a necessary consequence the pre-

Senator Fairbanks found another occasion to maka
his isthmian address. Until the hour came for itt
delivery he had an eye e'ngle for Senator Morgan.
The Alabaman, however, for once in his life when
his pet subject was up for discussion was content to
sit still and say nothing. Jn the press galleries it
was whispered that Mr. Morgan tfasn't feeling very
well that day.
In the particular case of the Panama matter Sena
tor Cullom, being the chairman *-n the committee
on foreign relations, had charge of the legisla
tion on the floor of the senate!. The trials of
Senator Cullom on that occasion were the trials
of the pilot on every measure act magnitude that
is launched for a passage through either house
or senate.
Nearly every senator and representative wishes
to make a speech on the big things that aref
before congress. Of course all of them cannot
speak, but the trials of the man In charge begin
when the members ask that their speaking may
be postponed for a day or two. The intending
speakers have their frailty of vanity. They want
to speak when the galleries are not crowded, and
if the galleries are not crowded they ask that
they may speak on another day.
When the Panama matter was up Senator Cul
lom finally became angry and tired with the sena
tors who asked that yet another day be set for
the making of their speeches. The Illinois senator
did not wish Senator Morgan to have all the
time to himself, and Morgan could be counted
on to take every minute that was dropped to him
to talk about the glories of the Nicaraguan route
for a canal, about the Imbecility of using the
Panama route and about the Republican sin of
the recognition of the republic on the isthmus.
The Panama matter is only an instance In
point. Many a speech on the railroad rate bill
was put off because the attendance was not
what it should have been from the viewpoint of
the man who was to speak. Congressmen have
their human weaknesses.
The last great duty which Senator Piatt of
Connecticut performed for his country was his
work as presiding officer of the senate court dur
ing the trial of Judge Charles Swayne. Unques
tionably the strain of that trial shortened Senator
Piatt's life. He presided with dignity and with
the rarest impartiality. The hours of the court's
session were long, and yet the aged Connecticut
senator refused to leave his seat even for the
getting of necessary food until the session ot
each day was ended.
Prior to the opening of the trial Senator Piatt
stood in the vice-president's place and told his
colleagues that it was their duty not to lose a
word of the testimony lest they bring in an un
just verdict. The result of this was that with
one or two exceptions the senators sat in their
seats and heard Important and unimportant testi
mony, listening to every argument of counsel,
and lest anything should escape them they made
insistent demand that every witness should speak
so that all men in the chamber might hear.
It is probable that before one-quarter of the
trial proceedings of the case against Charles
Swayne was ended every senator had made up
his mind as to the guilt or the innocence of the
accused, but the belief of guilt or innocence
formed early did not prevent the attendance of
any member of that high court during the entire
time of the trial. Judge Swayne was acquitted.
His acquittal was not made a party matter, as
many feared it was to be. On some of the counts
against him he was acquitted unanimously. On
others where there was a minority which believed
him guilty both Democrats and Republicans
formed a part of that minority.
Senator Jacob H. Galllnger is known in con
gress as the chief of the humanitarians and as
the father of many reforms. -t

Among the measures which the New Hampshire
man has advocated In congress for the bettering
of things on earth are measures intended to se
cure proper care for the ina-ne, to prevent the
docking of horses' tails, to prevent cruelty to all
snimals, tp provide for delinquent and dependent
children, to train women nurses for the navy
and to condemn unsanitary buildings. Mr. Gal
linger is a strong man with a soft heart
It was said more than once that Senator
Mathew Stanley Quay of Pennsylvania had a few
drops of the Indians in his veins. If so, his
blood told In one instance at any rate, for when
Mr. Quay was ill almost unto death he roused
himself from his body weariness and made a
speech in behalf of the Delaware Indians which
with its eloquence held the senate and the gal
leries chained for a too brief quarter of an hour.
No one knew that "Keystone Quay" coyld be so
eloquent. In less than two months after the
delivery of the speech he was dead, but before
he died knowledge came to him that his eloquence
had brought accomplishment, and that the Dele
ware Indians in whom he was Interested had
received from congress a sum of money which
had been due them for years, but which they
had made vain attempts to secure up to the time
that a sick man's plea succeeded in righting a
wrong.
There is some fun in the senate on occasion.
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota once said
"Damn" openly. It slipped out before he was
aware of it, and no sooner had it put in an ap
pearance than the Minnesota senator put and
passed a resolution of censure of himself by
himself.
This little matter of a mild swear word from
the lips of Mr. Nelson received a good deal of
comment at the time that the word plumped
out of his mouth, but almost simultaneously with
its utterance there was a colloquy between Sena
tors Daniel of Virginia and Galllnger of New
Hampshire, which was a trifle more shocking,
senatorlally speaking, than several damns.
Senator Galllnger, the moral mainstay of the
senate, was trying to get his colleagues to agree
to change the name of Madison street in Wash
ington to Church street. A part of Madison street
was known as Samson street Senator Daniel
did not like the idea of dropping the Virginia
president's name even for the piqus name of
"Church," so he objected. He asked his New
Hampshire brother about the matter and learned
that there was six other Madison streets in
Washington, and finding from this that Virginia
pride might be appeased in the nomenclature
matter, Daniel asked why the whole street
couldn't be called Samson.
"I don't know that I ought to tell the reason
publicly," said Galllnger, "but Samson, for whom
the street was named, was a fine man and a
part of Samson street now has on it many low
resorts."
"I take it," said Senator Daniel quickly, "that
my colleague has this information at first hand."
The Virginia senator only meant the thing as
a gentle jest, but Jacob Gallinser, who is a very
rock in the steadfastness of his morality, was
rather upset. The senate changed the name of
the street so quickly that the proceedings fairly
outran the hands of the stenographers, the inct
dent was closed and Gallinger's blush fit4

"BOBBIES" WILL HAVE DOGS
Individual Officers, Traveling Certain
London Beats, to Be Allowed
Canine Protection.
London.—In the future London po
licemen in the outlying and suburban
districts of the city are to be accom
panied by dogs, if they so desire.
Hitherto Individual officers have
been granted permission to take theli
own dogs with them on making ap
plication, in the same way as permis
sion is granted in suitable cases foi
them to carry sticks or revolvers.
This practice will now be extended,
having been tried as an experiment
and found successful. It is not pro
posed to organize a system of dogs
owned by the police, but the men
will be allowed to take their own doga
though they will have to satisfy their
superior officers that the circumstan
ces warrant the application.
There will be no one type used, and
in any case the police authorities will
not control the selection, but simply
watch the experiment. The dogs will
doubtless be used for the double pur
pose of protecting the police officers
if attacked and holding a man whom
he may desire to arrest.
The advantage of using dogs which
are the personal property of the offi
cers, is that they will probably be
more obedient and docile than dogs
taken from a general police kennel.
