' WASHINGTON LETTER Fro our AejuUr Correspondent. Unless the unexpected hap pens, t Ih Rtiti joint stu tehood campaign is. not only daad but beyond reurreetiori. The Lmsurrei'tionntorv fone of the HoijHr n broken byono r' corn trUction and th. insur gent leaders' are now devot ing their time to telling how it happened, whi h is not si important us thetaet thai it has happened. . Of couise ther is a chance that.'tiie Sen ate may tuk;e 'up the fight and serine an amendment to ilve,House bill hut that is not considered probable, ..' The measure is a pantry mcHsnre as. hue been previously point ad out, and it is not any more likely that the Senate will break lines on the 'meas ure than thai House would. As the case now atauds,, the bill will in all likelihood go through the Senate unchang ed and there will lie an adoi tibn of four Democratic Sen a tors in the parfy ranks. But this is not so bad from the Republican staiidpoihtas though the measure bad been passed by a Democratic Con gressand there had been eight Democratic Senators added. The one thing that is sure is that there will be an im mense a pprecia tion of prop erty values in the two new states as soon as they at tain statehood as was the case with Nevada, So,anyone who bus money had better get busy in the real estate bu sinews, even if they haye to sell out to avoid fall in val ues after thestateshave wn in the Cnhn a little while. Therein no likelihood that the territories will be a n 3 better or any worse off with statehood than without it. The death of General Joe Wheeler was received in Wash iiiKtOM with genuine regret, and thexleciHion that was iin mediately arrived at 10 bury him in Arlington with all the honors thai could he paid to a deceased Union general was not surprising There wjs never anything better caicu lated to show that the Civil War was pver than the alar rity with which the old Con federates and sons of Confed erates went into the war with Spain. Of course Gen. Wheel er, as onu of the mot noted cavalry cononandrs of t h e South, hh wHti-he.l v i t h particular intercut. Au ac count may begivnhy a man who wiw him throne!) the Cu -n campaign. He srf.vn: "General Wheeler was'nt only the nest rofiimaiioVr, but he hn l the IM-Ht xperi eme and the faculty ,f (nk ing alter his men an I seeing that his command was i n shapfor whatever work it was called on to lo lu r h e climate of Cuba, t h was an important factor, l'he best command in the worhl could be knockedtmt in two days by dynintery and miliaria if the men were not forced to lake care of themselves, and Gen. Wheeler bad just the sort of field exvri-nce to drive this principle ofp on his subaltern ofllcers and men I dft not Know positive. Iy whether the story is true about his calling the Span iards Yankee" in the he,it of buttle, but I was lift neat th" front the everting after the first battle and the story was going the round then and was lining 8ohHrtily lauhd over by the men that it certainly origin ted on the spot" whether it was triie or not. It was j ist after the A 1 n e r icM n f o rcen h a d ! an ed out KtiL Hill, and Gen. Wheeler's ca raliy command, which never an w a horse af ter they left Tampa had come up over the creHt that the old "General is reports! to ha ve shouted so that all a round heard him: "We've got the Yinkn going, boys, aive m hell!" They did. L "Geneial Wheeler lived at the front with his command to the surrender of Santiago and fi nght it on' on the spot wifh .the tropical malaria which was a good deal worse than than the Spaniards There is no question at all that he wanted to get killed in the Santiago campaign and nie wim his Jioots on. T3ut though he took all softM of chances on getting shot, there was never a bullet tou ched him. He remarked re signedly one afternoon thtt he supposed he was too small to get hit by such d d poor marksmen as they had over there, refeiring, of course, to the.Spanish lines." Thre is a whole nation "to mourn the passing of the iood little General, and it is a fitting mark of afJe-'tiou that his body is resting in the national cemetery. The outcome of the rate biM is still doubtful. The men sure has not yet passed ei ther the House 01 Senate and there is going to be n fine old row in onfercne after it does. The House bill, as is generally known, is morerad ial than the Senate', and thre has been a suggestion tha; when, the bill goes to conference the House .will stand out for the adoption, in principle, of its measure, and force the Senate to he wall. -This suggestion is al most untenable. The Senate is not used to giving way to the House and the Elkins and Fjraker bills areso much more lenient and have so ma nv more loopholes in th rn of which the railroad compa nies might take advantage. that it is n-t likely the Sen. ate will Hubmit to seeing it welf hhelved and th" House measure panned in its entiri t.v, It is said that the House measure is more in accord ance witii the JfreHiiient s idea th in in the Senate's but then, a is known, this in not likely to interfere with the S-nate to any .great extent. The Grip. Before we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered our selves." "No one can realize the suffering attending upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual experience. There is proba ble no disease.that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which so successfully defies medical aid. AU danger fron the grip, how. ever, may be avoided by the prompt useof Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one cas; has ever been reported that has resulted in pnetnnia or that has not recovered.
