WASHINGTON LETTER.
Pfom our Ueguur orrebpoideit.
Secretary Carlisle has not completed
his annual report and does not expect
to finish it before next week. It will
orobablv b one of the largest autf
i --..-.
m,wh rnitmiMlinsivi naDers of its kind
ever submitted to Congress, owing to
the Ud condition in which the repul
lApf tU finuiioM if thrt country.

The absence of this report, although
not the only reason, was one of the
principal reasons for the de'ay iu get
ting the new tariff bill before the
House. It would have been sufficient
of itself, as it is necesiary for that re -nort
to be in the hands of members be
fore they take up the tariff.
Chairman Wilsons intention is to
report the tariff bill to the House next
Wednesday, and he hopes to be able
to make public its twin measure, the
internal revenue bill, at about the same
lime. The last named bill would have
been ready before this had hot the re
vised estimates of the officials of the
IVeasury department shown that the
deficiency in revenue caused by the re
ductions in duties and extensions of
the free list- lunde
by the new tariff bill would he iu the
neighborhood of f 00,000,000 which
was some $23,000,000 morethan had
been estimated by members of the
Ways and Means committee. This ol
course, neces-itated a revision of the
nterual reveuue bill, which is to be
made to supply the d ficiency caused
by the tariff Jbil I. Among the new
propositions submitted to the commit
tee this week was one from Itepresen
tative Hatch, of Missouri, to tax the
transactions of the stock and produc
exchanges, instead of the earnings of
corjKirations, which bd. been previous
ly agreed upon by the committee.
Mr. Hatch thinks such a tax would be
felt less than any yet proposed.
As there is no estimate for the ex
penses of the Bureau of American lie-
publics in the figures submitted by
Secretary Greshaui, for the next fiscal
y ear, it is safe to say that there will
soon ihi no Bureau of American Repub
lics. It was a sort of a side attach
ment to the beautiful-on-papor-Blaine
reciprocity programme. Its cost ha
been annually about $30,000, princi
pally for salaries, and the benefit it
has beeu. to the' country has been un-
discoverable. Secretary Morton" re
gards the money spent at the forty

largely wasted, and having recommend
ed in his aunual report thai they be
abolished he left the 6720,000 which it
would require to run them out of his
estimates for uext year,
The probability of a clunge in th-
Senate rules is very slight, although
there are several proposed amendment
now before the committee on iiules, of
which Senator B'ackburu, of Kentucky
is chairman. The other democrat.-) ou
the committee are Senators Harris, ot
Tennessee, and Gormau, of Maryland.
The action of the republican caucus
iu deciding nut to filibuster to prevent
a vote ou the Wilson tariff bill when
it gels to the Senate has weakened the
desire for a change to a noticeable extent-
Governor-elect 0'FenallT of Virgin
ia, will retain his set in the House
until the Christmas recess, as- his re
signation will uot take effect until the

inaugurated Governor on the

Power of a Whale.
An interesting study of the borso
power ot the whale has been made
by the eminent anatomist, Sir Wil
liam Turner, of the University of
Edinburgh, Scotland, in conjunction
with Mr. John Henderson, the equal
ly eminent GlasgoW ship builder. The
size and dimensions of a great whalo
stranded several years' ago on tho
shore at Longriddy furnished tho
necessary data for a computation of
the power necessary to propel it at
the rate of twelve miles an hour.
This whale measured eighty feet in
length, twenty feet across the
flanges of the tail, and weighed seventy-four
tons. It was calculated
