NEW YORK, May 13.-There is consid.
cradle feeling among members of the
Union League Club over the rejection OF
Secretary Bristow as a member, and it
is attributed to personal prejudices.
Members say another meeting will soon
be held and efforts made to have the ac.
tion of last night rescinded; and they
express the belief that Brstow will be
unanimously elected a member.

What the Herald Thinks.
The Herald, speaking Of the rejection
of Secretary Bristow by the Uuion
League Club, says this politically has
no effect unless it react 10 his benefit.
1t is fair to say that the moral and nu-
merical influence OF the Union League
Club is eponderatingly in his favor,
and it should as body of considerable
influence in politics be acquitted of any
intention to insult the Secretary OF the
Treasury.
The Next Sensation.
The HeralPs Washington special says:
The next sensation in Congress would
be the investigation OF the Union Pacific
Railroad Company in the matter of $64,-
600, and tile Little Rock bonds, with

nected.
