Washington Letter. Correspondence of the Mascot.' Washington, D. C, June 12, 1894. President Cleveland told a Demo cratic member of the house who ask ed him his opinion of the Senate amendments to the tariff bill that his opinion on the question of tariff reform should be well enough known without any additional expression at this time, and intimated that he considered prompt action on the subject by both house and senate of far more importance to the country than the mere details of this or that schedule in the bill, provided, of course, that the bill as a whole is kept in line with Democratic prom ises of tariff reform. That strikes me as the proper position for every patriotic Democrat to take at this time. The Republican Senators are acting on the old legal maxim "when you have no case abuse the opposition." Finding that they were defeated on the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, which they had been for weeks claim ing to be confident of defeating with the aid of Democratic votes, they have resorted to the cry of "sugar trust," thinking to blind the country to the fact that the sugar schedule last week adopted by the Democratic senators only gives the sugar refiners about half of what they are getting under the McKinley law. Senator Jones is confident that all ot the amendments will be adopted and the tariff bill passecLby the close of this week, and Republican senators pri vately admit as much. The southern Democrats in the house were double disappointed by the defeat of the bill for the repeal of the tax on State bank currency. They had confidently expected 140 votes in favor of the bill, but it only received 102, while the opposition mustered 170. They claim . that men who had allowed themselves to be counted in favor of the bill voted against it. Secretary Carlisle waited until the fake story that he was preparing for another issue of bonds had advanced to the stage of pretending to give all the details down to the exact amount of to be issued, belore he took the trouble to undo the work of the gifted writers of Washington fairy tales by officially announcing that he was not preparing to issue bonds, had not considered it even, and knew no reason why he should consider it at this time or in the im mediate future. Secretary Carlisle has been during Jiis entire public life known as a man who believes in the open and above board method of doing things, and the public may rest assured that should the necessi ty for another issue of bonds arise it wiil be duly and oflicially announced by the Treasury and not by fake newspapers. It is not believed that it will be necessary to issue more bonds, as there is no probability Ojf the cash in the Treasury reaching an embarrassingly low condition before August, and by that time the in crease in the government receipts under the new tariff law will proba bly be great enough to furnish relief. The claim for $15,Q0Q,00Q against the estate of the late Senator Stan ford, which was filed in California last week by direction of Attorney Olney, has been much talked in Washington. The claim is made to protect the interests of the govern ment involved in the indebtedness of the Central Pacific Railroad to the United States. This step is in line with a resolution introduced in the house sometime ago by Representa tive Boatner, of Louisiana, provid ing for the employment of counsel to bring suits against the original Cen tral Pacific syndicate, composed of Huntington, Stanford, Hopkins, Crocker and Colton for money diverted by them for their own bene fit from the earnings of the railroad. Mr. Boatner claims that tae govern ment can get at least $40,000,000 by bringing these suits. The bonds upon which the railroad owes the government this money are not yet due, but the claim is put in now so that the statute of limitation cannot be entered after default in the pay ment of the bonds. It ; is expected that this congress will legislateupon the indebtedness of all of the Pacific railroads to the government, and C. P. Huntington is now in Washing ton looking out for end of the matter. Nothing startling has been brought out last week by the Senate commit tee that is investigating the charges concerning the alleged sugar trust scandal. The more testimony the committee takes the more apparent it becomes that these charges were based upon the flimsiest of founda tions, helped put by conjecture and partisan politics. The Senate will have a select com mittee of five to give hearings to the representatives of all the "industrial armies" and other cranks who have wild schemes to air, a resolution to that effect having last week been adopted, y Thirty-three Democratic Senators to be elected this year.
