' WASHINGTON LETTER.
What la Happening in the Capital of
Our Country.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington .March 4, 1898.
' That no Immediate action is expected
on the Maine catastrophe was shown
by the departure for Cuba, this week,
ot a party Including Senators Thurs
ton, Money and Oallinger, and Repre
sentatives Amos J. Cumminga and Wil
liam Alden Smith. These gentlemen
are going directly to Havana on a pri
vate yacht, for the purpose of doinn a
little investigating on their own hook,
and they expect to get information that
will be useful when the matter gets
before Congress. They expect to be
gone about ten days.
There is quite a stir anions members
of the House over a report that Czar
Reed Intended to try to rush the rest of
the appropriation bills through and to
force an adjournment of Congress jn
order to prevent a declaration of war
or any other action on Cuba. A paper
was at once circulated by Republicans
among Republicans pledging the sign
ers to vote against adjournment under
any circumstances before satisfactory
action had been taken on the Cuban
question, and enough signers have al
ready been obtained to block any ad
journment scheme, with the ai.l of the
Democratic and Topulist voles, which
have been promised.
A bill for the conditional repeal of
the Federal tax on currency issued by
State banks has been introduced by
Senator Piatt, of New York, inm-h to
the surprise of Democrats, who have at
various times sought the repeal of that
tax, which they have always considered
unjust. Mr. Piatt s bill authorizes Slate
banks to deposit with the I'niied States
Treasurer the bonds of any State, city
or county anil to receive in exehance
circulating notes to the extent of SO
per cent of the deposits and To per cent
of the capital stock of the bank. The
securities to be held in trust for the
redemption of the bank's clrcuilntim;
notes. Just as United Stales bonds are
now held for national bank notes.
It was officially announced this week
by Secretary Alger that the govern
ment relief expedition to the Klondike
miners hd been abandoned, and au
thority to sell the stuff purchased, in
cluding the reindeer, has been asked of
Congress. No official announcement
has been made to that effect, but it i
stated that it Is now fully known that
the whole business was a systematic
scheme on the part of certain sharpers
to "do" the government.
RAILWAY NOTES.
The new schedule on the run to Nor
folk puts two of the conductors hai k
in Greensboro who have not been here
in some time. Capt. Witherspoon and
Capt. Will. Coble, who have been run
ning from Selma to Norfolk, now run
through to this place. Capt. Tom
Fowler, who had the night run to and
from Raleigh, Is the other man on the
new run.
Jim Graves the other conductor on
the Raleigh train, has it is said, skip
ped the country, not for anythin-.
wrong, but the "boys" say .lint v-i
thrown with a man who had sui.tM )-.
and the company told him h,. mu-t i
into quarantine, whereupon .Jim l--;--i
and has not been seen lately.
However, this is likely a f.ike. !' r a
man yesterday said he as in Hui
ham. Greensboro lteeotd.
There are now six conductor of
Southern passenger trains running into
Raleigh, three on the run bei , e.-ti th!s
place and Norfolk, and three on ih,.
Goldsboro run Captains Fry. l'oilock

The Monroe Enquirer says that a man
