WASHINGTON, JAM l6, 1916.
Matters are pretty quiet here to-day. AS men,
noned yesterday, the Senate has been engaged in
discussing the merits OF Mr. Folks nominations.
The rumor, however, in your Herald OF yesterday,
about fare up between Benton and Archer, on
6. w. Woodward's nomination, is without founda-
ton. Mr. Woodward's nomination is not yet be-
lore the Senate-and, Of course, there is no flare
up OF the kind. When it does come up, l think
Mr. Woodward will be promptly rejected The
democratic papers have taken away the necessity
OF Mr.. Archer's interieref ce on his behalf Thew
claim that he has repudiated mis- former notions on
Nanvism The question will be on his fitness
Neither Is II true, as rumor las that the Senate
have been engaged IN discussing Marcus Morton's
nomination as Collector al Boston. That has not
yet been up before them They have been engaged
on mr. Slidelfs nomination. and II NAV be the des
patches from Mexico, by the last arrival Mr..
Slidel's appointment s opposed on account of his
connection with The frauds alleged to have been
committed IN the last Presidential election, in
LOUISIANA 1t IS also opposed es being uncommon
1t not unconstitutional, he being member of Con.
gress when he started on his mission, and not hav-
lpg resigned I'll after he started AS mentioned
m my last, the President withdrew the nomination
OF Mr. Tate as Consul to Buenos Ayres. He would
hav' been rejected bv the Senate. This is victory
over Mr.. Secretary Walker.
ri, Inc Oregon debate is growing exceedingly dull
Inc American eagle Is tired and the British lion is
hosrse with growllng-yet King Bunconibc is not
half satisfied Several cand i'd aes for conare ss,opa
fame have to 5s presented to his majesty before he
closes his levee. God pity the reporters and the
country. The Wings have hitherto played their
cards with great skill They came off with flyng
colors IN the debate on Nativism They are likely
10 do so on Oregon Sam Houston who is coming
10 the Senate, it is said, will be candidate next
election for President of the United States, and will
thwart the Intentions of many of those who brought
him into power, and his State into the Union.
Col. Webb and Gov. Seward are still here. They
are rather opposed TO each other on the Oregon
question: and yet they are the best possible terms
Like Castor and Pollux, they are always seen to-
gether, or very near each other.
