up his mind that he would deliver u
speeeli on a pending question of na
tioiutl policy that would shake the na

into n position from which it could
hardly escape except, by doing the
thing the. senator wanted to have
done. His secretary with whom lie
prepared the speech had formed ft
friendship with n certain cattv, red
haired lady that spent her time in
mysterious pursuits in Washington.
She had a i'riend of her own that the
secretary never suspected. The sec
retary showed her the copy of the
speech two or three days before it
was to be delivered. She showed it to
her other friend. lie tipped off cer
tain interests in Washington and the
speech vanished forever into the dis
card. Sometimes the fair diplomat woiks
quite openly and makes no cltort to
conceal her influence. The ablest
Washington lias ever seen in legiti
mate fields of endeavor was Madame
)e Lome, the wife of the Spanish
minister in the stormy days before the
Spanish-American war.

Very strong influences wove, nl

the Maine, to induce this government
to recognize the Cuban republic, audi
there were incessant complications:

had a dilfieiilt job. He was inmieas
urably helped by his wife, who let'r
the reputation hep' of a woman of
most extraordinary ability as well
as of ehnnn. It was said that so lony
as she was on the job the senate for
eign committee never took a step that
she started out to beat, and it was due
to her most clever, able work that
many a hostile action was sidetrack
ed. For years she made a point of
winning the friendship of each suc
cessive, chairman of the committee.
The female lobbyist used to be a
familiar figure to every one that
knew Washington from the other side
of the footlights. About ten year-;
ayo there were two exceedingly hand

but their efforts were confined t
killing anti-corporation hills, and
they never mixed up in other affair
The case of Madame Cailhiux,
which is not yet ended, by the wny, is
an illustration. In this instance she
uined her own husband instead of
another woman's, which is not ac
cording to Hoylc and tradition. He

The ease of Mrs. Cormvnlli West?

since AufrnM -t. 1!UL There was
last summer a continuous prowl po.
