WEEKLY WASHINGTON LETTER.
from Our Regular Uorrcapondent.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 20, '05.
Has President Clevehnid made a
deal with President ele tMcKihley ?
Strange as this question may appear,
current rumors make it pertinent.
One of those rumors has it that a
list of Federal employes ill a ",nuni
bef of southern states who took an
active part in supporting Bryan in
the late campaign is beiivx prepar
ed , that they are all to be dismissed
and gold democrdts appointed- jn
their places, and that an understanding-exists
by which these gold dem
ocrats are to be allowed to retain
their, places under theMcKinleyad
ministiAtion. EK-Congressman For-
man, of 111., who tojk on active
part in the campaign ftg a gold dem
ocrat, and ftho hits just bi-cn ap-
. a f t . i
noiniea commissioner 01 lnwriiHi
Revenue to Buccced Mf. Miller who
- rt'ni"iicii u enter iiriviiio uusmcf.i. is
taid to have received nssurances
that hu would bo allowed to keep
the office under the McKinlcy ad
ministration. In fact, it is said
that he would not otherwise have
ftcteptrjd the office. These rumors
connot -be authunticuted, nnd it
would be difficult to believe such
things possible had it not ..lH;n for
the political haiipenings of the last
year. Just imagine what would
have correctly forecasted the political
crents of the past twelve months
tfe year ago. - "
The larger the number of republi
can. Souators nnd Reprtscnlatiyes in
Washington grows the more prob
able it becontea that no real effort
is going to be made by them to pass
the Dingley tariff bill in the Senate.
While there are a few. conservative-
among them w ho htvor passing the
Dingley, -Ml on some, other bill
sligl.tlv amending the Kescnt tariff
law at this session of Congress and
sparing the country the worry of an
fxtra session, the great majority of
tirem sil-e deteriiiined to have an ex
tra sesdon and to pass a high tariff"
bill in the House -and to try to pass

have their wav.
Senator Mills, of Texas, is among
the early Congrcssion.il arrivals.
liewivs lie uiM'sn t care to cue?s
wh.it will be done at the coming :
essiou of Congnvs, but Ids talk in
dicates that h loesn't expect any
tariff' legilal ion. He had a few
words to ay that are cmimeiidod to
the gentleirxin who. arc inclined to
follow tlie ml vice ef Senator I'ell'cr
and favor the orgauizatioif of a new
mr:y to combiue all the elements
opposed to McKinleyisni' and the
gold stauxlord. Sa;d Mills : "The
deinocratie party will live as long as
the government lives. -No amount
of whipping can kill it." ' "
Some of - the friends the M.c
Kinley administration are not talk
ing as wisely as they might altout
IIms- possible relations ' of the silver
rfjrtililican Senators to the projw.sed
pftitectidn i tariff bill which is to lo
put through the. house and attempt
ed to le put through the Senate at
the extra session of Congress ex
pected to he called as soon as Mc
Kinley is inaugurated. For iiv
starce, Representative Grout.ofVt..
after expressing the belief that the
constituent of these Senators would
compel thcru to supjiort a protection
iariff bill, giw a tep fu rthcr a nd
makes the threat that if they do not
vote lor it they will bo ignored in
the distribution of. Federal atron
age in their States during the en
tire term of McKinley. While ihi
threat would almost purely be car
ried out. it is certainly impolitic,
not to call it absolutely foolish, to
publicly make it before thcSenati n
hare indicated their intentions.
Hivh sirited ram are pcldoni ttm
tnjled by thnats. and if the tool
friends of protection are not careful
they will drive awsy votes they
might bare got hatl no thn-mts k-en
made. Seuntor Vest, of Mo., Wn't

elijihlest chance Cr the Dingley
tariff bill to 1 aJwl If the .Senate
at this session. He raid: 'I bare
no doubt that Ihe tepublican Sena

there is no possibility of passing the
biii.' ":;;-;: rj'r'',, '
Senator-elect Pott us, who will on
the 4th of next March succeed Sena
tor Pugh, of Alabama, was ; a law
partner of Senator Morgan about
thirty years ago and might have
been in the Senate twenty years ago
had he not declined the nomination.
When he takes - his seat Alabama
will have what no other State has or
has ever had two Senators who are
residents Of the same town. Gvn.
I'ettus, for he . was a Confederate
Brigatlier, will bring to the Senate a
ripe experience. He is as strong an
advocate of the free coinage of silver
as could be found anywhere.
The Jackson Democratic Associ
ation has invited Mr. Bryan to de-
Miver the address at its celebration of
Jackson day, January 8th, i897,und
are hopeful that he will accept.
The question of who the few gold
democrats in Congress will caucus
with at the coming Session is being
much talked about. Having bolted
the regular democratic nomination,
unless specially to do so, it is claim
ed thiey cannot attend a democratic
caucus, and nobody seems to know
whether such invitation will bo ex
tended to them.

party to the other has ntiver pro

of the republic continue to revolve
and things go on rutty much as

The facility with which theKlicy
of the government is changed irom
time to time by the change of the
party in power also goes to illustrate
the strength of our government and
the permanence of our republican
institutions. In many so-called re
publics a change of administration
means war. The old administration,
it may be, p-fuses to accept the result I

The Great Power Company Starts Up

Mighty Cataract. '
Buffalo, Nov. 16. .U midnight
the turning of a switch in the -big
power house at Niagara Falls com
pleted a circuit which caused Niaga

less energy, which had already swept
past the gates of Buffalo, back into
that cityL27 miles distan.t The
harness was buckled that hitches the
factory wheels of Buffalo to the
gi cutest cataract on earth. Tins
morning the street cars of this city
started running hy Falls jHwer.
Hereafter the Falls must work
enough to earn their living.
The buckling of the harness could
have been done as well 12 hours
earlier, but owing to. the fact that
the father of William B. Rankine, ot
New York, secretary of tho Niagara
Falls Power Company, is a clergy
man, and in deference to his wishes
the Niagara Falls power was not
turned into the transmitting system
at noon, as had been expected. The
connections were made at midnight.
The force of experts having the work
in charge wore busy all Saturday
-JHght-aiid-until-late last-evening
testing the various connections and
going over the machinery to make
sure that everything was in proper
order. When "everything Was in
readiness for the switch to be thrown
open the electricians were confident
that there need bo no cessation of j
the current set "flowing over the
wires of the Buffalo street railway
system.
The distance covered by the, line
between Buffalo and the Falls is 27
miles, and the expert electricians
who have the work in charge esti
mate that the loss of energy will he
less than 10 ier cent, and may not
much exceed 5. Careful tests are t-i
be made in this connection, the tests
covering both night and day in clear
as well as rainy weather. The c!ec
tru'iaiis are' paying paftlcuiiif atten-

The line that has been built to

a most substantil nature. Unlike

are bracf-d in such a manner as to bo

are guyed to numerous smaller poles
to prevent sagging. , The overhead

volts before being put in use.
There are at present on the poles
eight cables each, with a carrying
capacity of J5,000 honie"powef,br

are of such a substantial .character,
however, that this number of cables

England's Rivals in the East and
'West.-
Wilmington Star.
England has two rivals for com
mercial supremacy, between which
she will eventually be consigned to
tho roar." The United States is ono,
Russia the other. The United States
will in time dominate the commerce
on this sido of the Atlantic, while
Russia will contest for the trade of
the far East, which England has for
many; years. found a rich harvest
field. The potent agency that Rus
sia will have at her command, in
competition with England's mer
chant marine, will be the trans
Siberian railway which will be com
pleted within the next four year.
What that will do is set forth in the
following clipped from the San Fran
cisco Chronicle :
''The enormous difference which
the trans-Siberian railway is certain
to make in the freight and passenger
carrying trade of the world may be
seen from the announcement that
first class passage will be sold from
Moscow to Vladivostok for $56, sec
ond-class for $22. The freight rates
are to bo in proportion. The time
required for the iournev. extendinir I
nracticallv frfiih thoTSIiuTlo thn
Pacific ocean, will be nine davs and
eleverj hours for express trains, nil
twelve days and fifteen hours for
hauls of merchandise
"At the present time tho trip be
tween the coasts say from Iondon
via Suez to Yokohoma consumes
thirty-eight days. Something like
a week may be saved from this nc-
. I... ... II ! .1 . . f
i h,iven ,0 Slmnghai consumes forty-
seven days, and Irom Marseilles to
Yokohoma via the Messageries Mari
time Unriorty days. Taking tho
minimum lime, thirty-one days, and
w hile it is being covered by ship and
car over British routes a Russian
freight train can leavo Moscow and
run to Vladivostok and back again
ami havo about Ave days' leeway.
' Regarding expenses tho scale is
as much in favor of tho Russians as
the time card. Fur example, a first
class passage to Shanghai from
Brciuerhavcn coats $390, nw-ond-class
$240. Adding $10 as tho Rus
sian steamship fare from Vladivos
tok to Shanghai and the same sum
to cover tho coiiiioction between
Breinerhaven and Moscow, the fig
ures in each instance Wing liberal,
and the Russians can cut the German-English
first class rate by tho
sum of $314. The freight rate 'will
be one-fourth the present scaratcrf
Of course, there can be no comjc:i
tion with Russia under this head,
and English trade with the orient will
either havo to make ue of tho Rus
sian transportation facilities or ret ire
from the field. Even if steamship
rales could go down to a cash basis ,
ot rivalry which, of course, would
be out of the o, nest ion the Russians
would attili have the advantage of
providing a daily against a semi
wrekly service."

transportatMiii,- Imt -another-potent

well view with concern. Ruwia is

sixty years. . Mr. Watts, : though
fairly a rich planter, refused to 'sell

from tho entire lot? saying tb hs
son at tho time : "I may be a poor
man when I come to die, and in
case I am I want that bale of cotton
(pointing to that (articular bale)
s)ld and the proceeds used to de-
fray my funeral expenses." Tho
years rolled by,' he continued to add
to his wealth, and when he had liv
ed his allotted time he was pretty
well fixed in this worJd'a goods, and
the cotton was left unsold. Some
time before Mr. Watts' demise ha
took occasion to remark to his son
that in case the cotton was not used,
tokocpit.in the family, guarding
it carefully, and not to seJI under
any circumstances except for funeral
expenses. The bale wat more careful
