WASHINGTON LETTER,
Prom tar leymlar Csrrespendeat
Mr McKmle.v'et hirH 'men,
otbervririe known im the re
pub) lean m a i o r i t J of the
Hoiise, are olteyinn; orderH
like trained ' nniinnla. , Tbe.y
tteimin t o d h y the actnal
work of railroadintf throngh
the House, in a, ainle week,
the goldj Htnn'dnrd bill that
Mr. MrKinley had prepared
Inst summer. The vote is to
be taken a wek from today,
Hiid, of rour th" Jill will be
n'i, ?is: it will .be sure, .to
W), all the republican votea,
and it is being claimed that
eight democrats from New
York, and pbsaibly ' other
from the Eastern statea will
vote for it. .The republicans
are so fond of ;wenrinaf their
Kajjij that they have cffererl
to give some of the time al
lotted, to them for debate on
the bill to the democrats.
The Navy Department han
got Schley well but of the way,
bat his friends In Congreg
are on the alert in his behalf,
as was seen when a proposi
tion, which originuted with
Mr. McKinlev was submitted
to them. The proposition
wns that Congress pass n
bill reviving the g r u d e of
Vice Admiral in the Navy,
n nd that) Mr. McKinley would
at oncenominateboth8chley
and Sampson to that grade,
This sounded well but Schloys
fronds hare so far declined
to accept it, unless Mr. Mc
Kinley would promise that
Schley's nomination should
be made first, so that h
would continue to rank Samp
son. Representative Berry,
of Ky., who is one of Schley's
stannehest friends says he
intends to push his resolution
offering the thanks of Cqngrea
to Schlev and th men under
him for destroying Cervera's
fleet, but if an agreement is
reached about the Vice Ad
miral business, that will pro
bably end the whole matter.
Representative L e n t z, of
Ohio, hn s offered a resolution
asking for an investigation,
by a special committee of the
House of thechrgesjgrowing
out of the interference of U.
8. troops in mininc troublea
in fiiti ho, in rfetlawe of and
contrary tolhe Federal 'con
stitution, at the individual
request of the governor when
no tiot or insurrection exist
ed, and without consulting
the legislature or the local
sheriff.
If present indications maybe
depended upon, the position
of those democra ts who voted
against the dangerous neth
od of refusing to allow a
man with proper credentials,
to be sworn in as a member
of the House, is likely to be
vindicated by the final dispo
sition of the Roberts case.
Members of the Roberts com
inittee may, of coursechunge
their minds before their re
port is made to the House,
but it looks now as though,
their teport would reeom
mend that Roberts be sworn
in and then expelled, because
of his being a poly ga mist.
Members are beginning to re
alize that the precedent of
not allowing a man with
regular credentials to take
his seat, is too dangerous a
one to be aet a p. If one man
can properly be denied, one
hundred men might be treat
ed in the same wuy by an tin
scrupulous majority: It isn't
the Roberts case,, but . c h e
principles at stake t h a t
mttkes'thft action ' of the
Hnnse ihiptirtaut.
That Mr Quay isn't as cer
tain of getting that seat in
the ' Senate, as his friends
would like everybody to be
lieve is shown by the pres
ence in. Washington,' work
ing in Quay's interest, of ex
Senator Don Cameron; Mr.
Quay will also be in Washing
ton this week. An adverse re
port is expected from the com
inittee on elections, which is
one of the few committees not
included in the republican
grab of increasing tiieii reft
resentation, hut the real fight
will be on the . floor of the
Senate. The chances still
seem , to favor Quay, altho'
several of the Senators who
had been counted upon as err
tain to vote to seat him, are
said to be in doubt as to
how they would vote, It ison
the personal friendship of
those Senators that Camer
on and Quay are now work
ing. Senator Mason's speech in
his resolution of sympathy
for the Transvaal Republic,
now engaged in a war for
liberty with Great Britain,
contains some hard knocks
for prominent republicans,
including the President. Ma
son may not rank high as a
statesman, but his tongue
has a string o'n the end of it
when he wishes it to havs,
quite as nagging if not so
polished, as that wielded by
Ihgalls.and other stiog-eling-ers
who hav9 been in the Sen
ate. '-A'"'
Boss Hanna appears to
haveeinerged from his wrestle
with the rheumatism, and
his check-book, which is cred
ited with such a prominent
part in the Ohio campaign,
ah cross as a crippled bear.
He was hobbling out of the
white House, where he had
been h o I d i n g a conference
with Mr. McKinley and Mr.
Henry C. Pavne, of Wise,
who has been mentioned, as
Hanna'8 'successor at the
hesid of the Republican Na
tional Committee, when he
was asked if it were true that
he intended to retire from the
Chairmanship of the Commit
tee. He glared angrily at the
newspaper man who asked
the question, before answer
ing and then snapped out as
he turned away:" No one is
authorized to say what I will
do."
My son has been troubled
for years with chronic diar
rhoea. Sometime ugo I per
suaded him to take borne nf
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy.'Atter
using two bottles of the 25
cent size he was cured. I give
this testimonial, hopinirlhat
some one similarly afflicted
may read it and be benefit
