WASHINGTON LETTER. A Newsy Letter About the Last Happen ings of the Special Session of the U. S. Senate Beef Trust. From our own Correspondent. For ouce in the great flood of years the Democrats have stood together on the Santo Domingo treaty liight, and .they have won. That old war horse, Senator John T Morgan, of Alabama, has pointed out more blow holes in the treaty than can be found in 'he armor plate of the Armor Plate Trust. I pointed ont, in this corresrendence, more than ayearngo that there would be u attempt to take over Sauto Domingo, or at least enter into a treaty that would give this country absolute jurisdiction over the island, for the purpose of collecting the debts of the creditors of the island and negro republic. A good many of these creditors reside iu l he United States, and1 many of them are high tip in Administra tion circles. , They-bo'ught the bonds of Sun to Domingo at a very luif price on the dollar, aud if they can get this ceuntry to take hold of -affairs duwu there they can collect par for them.-- that is the way toe Repub licatis.do business, and that is thi way hey puy election bets. That i s the in l-l k iu the Santo Doiniiu.ro cocounut. - -. At its two session the Fifty-eighth Congress had voted to spend $1,59'J- 651,289,99, w hich is more than was appropriated in gold by any previous Uimgress u our history, not except ing the period of the Civil War. Iu the short session just closed few decent things were done. One of the leuks in our liind laws was st pped by abolishing the lieu land privilege which has enabletl specula tors to swindle the Government bv exchanging wort less tract in forest reserves tor valuble timber lauds outside, The Vosemite Vally has come again under the coutrol of the United States, having been le-ceded by the btate ot California a valuable pre cedent for the rescue of Niagara, 'revision has been made for im proving the efliciency of the militia by encouraging rille practice. J he Government has been authonze.1 to take part in the culebratioa of the three hundredth anniversary of the brat permanent .hngl.'SU settlement on this continent, at Jamestown, Virginia. For the first time since the contract was made, seven years ago, Congress has refused to make the annuul appropriation of $i:i(),0QO to pay rent to the National (Jity Bank for the old Custom House site in New York. This was one of the scandalously bad bargains character istic of the Government's dealings with shrewd financiers. The Gov ernment agreed to pay "rent" on its own funds, incidentally cheating the city of New York out of taxes. But since-the bargain was made, the rent will nlti'atev have to be paid out of the people's pockets. The average newspaper correspon dent in Washington, who works at the business for a lining, is a nianlv, truthful, honest man. He rarely sends out lies to his paper, 'or he knows that a lie is a boomerang, but some of the sctibblersi here in Washington who are, employed as private secretaries to members of Congress, or clerks in some of the departments, who do not know what news is aud never get put to get news, even if they did know it, are the worst liars and scandal-mongers on the face of the earth. They invaria bly pick out a shining mark to shoot their slime at, always some man who is persona non grata to their editors, thus currying flyor at home. A favorite theme with them is William R Hearst, and the suppo sititious slathers of money be is al ways spending for something or other, iu order to prejudice people who are easily prejudiced. In writ ing about the iuaugnral parade here is a sample lie: William Randolph Hearst is said to have paid the high est pi ice of any one for rooms and front windows at the New Willard. The sum paid was $2,000." This from the Telegram, of Portland, Me. When this lie reached Council liluITs, Iowa, the Nonpareil raised the ante to $2,500. 'The truth is, as could easily have been ascertained if the scandal-mongering papers were not eager for soon stun:, that Kepresetita- tive Hearst was not in Washington at all oh InaugnratioQ day, as were not many other Kepresentatives, both Democratic . and Republican. He did not even pay as much as twenty cents .for any kind of a window to view the parade' Mr I learnt has lived at the New Willard for some months during the session of Con gress, faying the regular rate ' per day for hit rooms as any offer guest would pay; his rooms were encaged by him until March 5, and at he was to be absent on tne 4tn ot parcn, fie permitted a personal friend to liave the benefit of the view from his hotel windows. A source of great amusement to the Democrats at the capital -baa been the dilemma in which tho pibhcans have found themselves over the report or. tttimmssioner oi uorv porations Garfield on the investiga tion into the iveef Trust. Commissioner Garfield has frabti- cany vxuuentteu uie giKai-, fnKarip of all the charge made against them. For instance, it shows that Instead of being a "close 'corporation" and three or four men meeting and fixing the price of cattle on the hoof and of the dressed product, Swift A Co., doing a bosinexs of $200,000,000 year, have over- 6.000 stockholders. Thnrt the .largest packing jronae company in the world, with $35,000, 000 capital, and doing dnsiness on a;niargi'i oi pr pent,, uu its nyesjisna Asncooro unrg vo. or a prulit of $4,000,000 a year on capital of $35,000,000, a return of 1 1 per cent to its 6,000 stockholders. As Commissioner Garfield does not find that anv of the packing com panies have bveu overcapitalized, bnt mat ail have visible assets well worth their capital stock, to say nothing of the value of "good will" and "trade marks, this return does not seem to be sufficiently excessive to justify the charge of extortion. As Garfield finds it, the big packers, by reason of tne volume of business, take cattle from the producer and give them to the consumer at a profit of only 90 cents a head. This profit would not enable a small butcher, killing a few beeves a week, to live, but when the busiuess runs up to over a mil lion cattle a year it imke.s a respect uble showing. . - Where the Republicans ore in a quandary is in this that Mr Garfield is the son of the martyred President, a staunch Republican, and a gentle man of unquestioned integrity. He is the bosuui friend of Roosevelt, and was selected for the post of "In quisitor ot Corporations because the President had sublime confidence in Ins honesty and incorruptibility; consequently, when he reports, after an investigation in which the re sources of the Government, inelnd ing the U. S. Treasury,- were placed at his dispoal, that he finds no "trust," but that the big packers are doing business-on a margin which any merchant would regard as ex tremely meagre, the report must be accepted or rejected by- his party. If aoct'ptod, the so-called Beef Trust must lie exonerated; if rejected, the Presided t.'s friend and trusted agent of I lie Guvertimeiit must bu charged with lircouipelencv. .iutaer hoin of the cilemnia is sullicieut to give the Republicans u bad half hour. What Roosevelt thinks of the sit uation is not known, as he has made no comment, publicly, at least; but this much is cler, and tliat is that Crarfiuld ii being groomed for the Presidential nomination in 190H, iikid the fact that Rooseveltcontiaues him in his position and connteuunce bis Presidential' aspirations is sufficient proof ot Uie fact that President Roosevelt is satisfied that, if there was any "Beef Trust," or that the great packers were miking excwsive profits, Air Garfield- would have as certained the same in the course of his investigation, and that, ns he re ported to the contrary, that report is to be accepted by the President and the people of the country as until, it is up to the Kepublicaus either fish, cut bait, or get out of the boat. Of couise, packers and cattleman know that instead of 99 cents the piolit is $:). Mr Garfield takes n.- account, apparently, of the by-products the glue from the hoofs rind horns, the hair, tlu leather from the hide, the beef tea extract, the fertil izer, the profits on the refrigerator curs, the railroad rebates, etc. Chakles A.

More money was piven for maintenance than was ever before given, in fact, all .that was asked, I was given. 1 here was a large in crease for the purpose, because there is a large increase in the number of PUBLIC SCHOOL LAW. The public school law remains practically unchuuged in its maiu essentials. The most important ht i change recommended by the commit tee, a provision lor live state district summer schools for teachers, lit a cost of $7,500 per annum, was de feated. Another dejiui ture suggest ed wus to make the holding of county teachers' institutes by the county boards of education compulsory. This was ulso voted down, but the recommendation that these summer schools be held bi-eniiially instead of annually was accepted, also that the amonnt to be appropriated by the couuty boards shall be from $200 to $250, as may be determined by the state superintendent, instead of 200. The new law allows the state superintendent $1,000 a year iu lieu of and in commutation for traveling expenses, insteud ot ifoOO for travel ing expenses and for additional clerical assistance. The salaries of the clerk to the state superinten dent and the special clerk iu charge of the loan fund arc increased from $1,000 to $l,2fn, and that of the teniigrapher from $500 to $000.
