WASHINGTON LETTER.
Ircm our Ecgular Corresponden
For the Democrat
Speaker Reed has been bo
badly beaten at his own
fViiine by the democrats of
the House that he offered
through one of his minions
to agree that no more demo
crats should he unseated at
this session if the democrats
would sta in their seats to
make a. quorum. It is un
necessary to say that the
offer was rejected the demo
' ci ats will make no bargain
with Heed. The offer was
net made until the Speaker
found out that he could not
force the democrats to stay
in the House, not even by
locking them up.and Repres
entative Kilgorohnd set. an
example by kicking open
a locked door that every
democrat in the House was
prepared to follow if it be
came necessary to do so to
get out of the chamber. A
number of republican Rep
resentatives are in hearty
sympathy with the demo
cratic efforts to prevent the
unseating of two legally
elected democrats in favor of
two negro contestants, but
they lack the courage of
their colleague, Mr. Chandle
ol Ind., who made a strong
srieech begging the members
. .
oi nis party not to attempt
to commit this outrage, sim

reported in favor of the ne-
jrroe. 'flie wrr s will iiev-
jiT Im- sealed until tin' tvpllhlt-
icans get a quorum.
The republican majority
of the eoiiferaiicc committer'
havo about patched up in
agreement on the tariff bill,
ami it might have been re
ported today but it is pre
sumable that the republicans
will hold it until they can
pt a quorum of republicans
on the tloor of the House;
that may be tomorrow or it
may not be at all durinir
this session. A prominent
republican menib"r of th"
conferance committee, who
was know n to be opposed to
Rhone's Latin-American re
ciprocity idea, was asked
why he voted for the recipro
city amendment. "Oh." he
replied, laughingly, "recipro
city is a popular fad just
now, and it is well enough to
have the name tacked onto
the tariff bill to help carry
the unpopular features of the
bill." That expresses in a
nut shell the much talked of
amendmentit is only bun
comb. Mr. Harrison lacked the
ronrage to carry out his
threat of vetoing the River
and Harbor bill. It is said
that a certain Senator high
up in the council of the re
publican party informed him
that if he vetoed that bill a
majority of the republican
Senators had pledged them
selves to make war on him
personally during the remain
der of his administration.
Senator Dumb gave the
Treasury department a little
raking over, Friday, because
of its having entered into a
limited partnership with a
lot of New York speculators
and Saturday, Senator Cock
rell reopened thesame wounds
in a few remarks objecting to
the consideration of Senator
Sherman's bill to reduce the
amount of bonds required of
national banks. Mr. Coek
rell said that he proposed
when this bill was taken up
to offer an amendment re
quiring the withdrawal of all
Loud circulation, and the
substitution of Treasury
notes the best pa per curren
cy that any country ever
had. "That will take" he
continued, "the control of
our finances out of the hands
of a combination and monop
oly. What has been seen
within the last few weeks has
not been creditable to the
country. The Secretary of
the Treasury has been t een
drawn on by speculators in
stocks and grain in New
York, to pay out every dol
lar of cash (surplus .in the
Treasury in order to save
their imaginary profits
in speculation and gam
bling." The bill shutting the lotter
ies and newspapers which
print lottery advertisements
out of the mails, is now a
law. There are lots of ru
mors about what the lottery
people intend doing to test
the constitutionality of the
new law, but they lack con-
L , . '
nrmation.
A resolution has been re
ported to the House provid
lin:,forthe ap,)0intlUent of a
committee to mquiie into
the progress Chicago is inak-
ia' toward tl: World's Fair,
