Ei gene Field, Washington Letter.' Senator Hill's resolution callr ing upon Secretary Olney - for copies of all communications to and f rom Consul Uenerai Lee, which was adopted by the Sen ate without a dissenting jvoice, is intended to solve the mystery as to the truth of the sensation al statements saying that: Gen. Lee had either actually tender ed his resignation as Consul General to Cuba, or threatened to do ro, unless the administra tion gave him better backing , than it has been giving him in his fight to secure justice for Americans arrested in Cuba. It is also believed that it was in tended as an affront to Presi dent Cleveland. It is customary in such resolutions to request the President to furnish the le- opinion it -is compatible with public interests. Senator Hill ignored the President entirely, and his resolution asks Secre tary Olney for the information. ongress feels very uelv t6" wards jtnulTJjPAltion on ac count of its Cuban poilCJt'ut there is no time left to do ahy" thing now, except to pass the appropriation bills. j Mr. Bryan vas in Washing ton two days this week,1 and was the recipient of much at tention. He was also the 1 cen tral figure in several important political conferences. . i Representative Bailey, of Texas, gave the Republicans a good-natured raking over in a speech which didnot overlook the assistant Republicans, about their embarrassment in diStriDUling ou,uuu omces among 350,000 applicants,and made the prediction that every one of the Congressional districts which the Republicans carried last November by majorities of less than 1,000 would go Democratic at the next election. "Four yefars ago," said Mr. Bailey, "ypu laughed at our embarrass men t; now we laugh at yours. You have no more chance ot escaping the wrath of the) of fice-seekers at the next Con-D-t-pssional elections thau I we had of escaping the disapproval of the people tor tne malad ministration of the administra- tion about to retite f rom pow er.

Rep resentative Brosius, of Pennsyl vania, chairman of the House Committee on Civil Service Re form, defended the law, and ac cused Grosvenor of having by hs talk against it "flashed a sword into the heart of tne rresident-elect," whatever that may mean. Whatever Mr. McKinley may do there is Llittle doubt that Grosvenor will have a numerous support it he wishes to lead a fight against the law in the next house, and it will not be surprising if he does it. ' VThe Senate- committee on pJSadshas this week been trying to get at all the bottom facts connected with the recent issue of a Florida land patent for 23,000 acres to Mr, Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's step-father. Senator Tillman, who is a mem ber of the committee, has been especially active in cross ex amining the witnesses who have appeared before the com mittee. The committe has not yet reached a conclusion as to the regularity and legality of the patent. .Notwithstanding the protest of fruit importers, who claim that foreign fruits do not com pete to any material j extent with American products, inas much as they are mostly put on sale at a different season of the year, the Republicans ! of the Ways and Means Committee have decided to place a duty upon tropical fruits, which im porters declare will be ; practi cally prohibjitor'.

It is very safe to say that he will not be a Senator long before he will regret announcing his in tention to boss the body. Boss ing the Senate is a very difficult "job, as Mr. Hanna may learn if he will enquire of Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland, both of whom made failures in their several attempts to as sume the role which he seems to think is as easy as buying impecunious delegates to a Re publican convention. Something to Depend On. i Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son,Cowden,Ill., -n speaking of Dr , Kings Dlscovery) says that last winter his wife wag attacKe(i with La !

And that is not the worst of it, for the colored gentlemen down here who work in the clay mines and who voted for you, are, worse, off than the white Democrats. Their white boss, in anticipation i of the coming prosperity, raised the price of the provisions and goods that he sold them; and then cut down their wages j on account of the hard times. , j Now both parties are as badly disappointed as the Virginia inn keeper when he hired the French tramp to kill his rats. Possibly you have heard the anecdote, but you will pardon me for tell ing it again. - J 'The Frenchman stopped at a wayside country inn fori a night's entertainment, and next morning refused to pay his bill, allegjngj that the rats disturbed him so badly that he couldn't sleep, and inquired, "Monsieur Landlord, vy yous not kill ze rats ?" The landlord replied, "darn the rats, I'll board ypu a week if you will kill them." "Zen I takes ze contract. Ypu board me von week an' I kills Ii 1 jn j .: mi5TiJ. i lord readily agreed. The French man consumed most , of the week in making his prepara tions, living high alL-the time on the fat of the land: He had a large place swept off in the front yard under the shade of a large tree, he had a large solid blopk of wood placed in - the centre of the clean place, an easy chair set by the block, and took special pains to have a hatchet ground Very sharp, Ear ly in the morning of the last day of his week's board, he, took his seat in the chair, raised his hatchet over the block, and said to the landlord, "now bring on ze rats." The , poor landlord then recalled with sadness that he had forgot to have it in the contract that ' the Frenchman was to catch the rats. That's the way now with tht se tool's that are complaining of hard times, they forgot at St. Louis to have it in the con tract that you were to furnish the. money.
