WASHINGTON, January 3l.-Detect-
i've Dearborn, of Boston, was here III
the interest OF the victims of Winslow
The Government will not, however,
demand the eXtradition Of Winslow,
holding that the matter will not justi-
any interference of the Federal Gov
eminent. kilograms have been sent
to Rotterdam, and suits will be brought
to attach heavy amounts which IL Is
believed Winslow took with him.
The Commissioners of the Indian bu'
reau says the hostile bands of Sioux
under Sitting Bull, now giving trouble
are wild indians who have never haG
any treaty with the United States, but
were invited last winter to come Oh tc
one of the reservations. Their mum
Der, men, women and children, are
variously estimated ut from one tc
three thousand.
No importance Is attached here tc
resolutions of different State associa'
tions in favor of Morton or Blaine
The membership of these associations
is for the most part composed OF de
partment clerks of inferior grades, anc
it is not expected that what they say OF
do will have any influence OF conse'
uuence on the futures of their favorites
A prominent Republican and warm
friend of Secretary Brist0w, III talking
of the matter to-day, said that he pe'
lieved the Republican masses desired
the nomination of Bristow, but he fell
TO- IN show
for the nomination, as he was not ac'
eeptable to the politicians. he did not
believe either Blaine or Morton would
get the nomination, and if either one
of them did he had strong misglvine
as to their election.
1t ia not yet known when or how the
financial debate will come up. Neither
the WAYS and Means nor the Banking
and Currency committee mean to oifel
the opportunity for it very soon, bul
there Is quite general impression thai
IL will be started upon some bill tC
which it wiz only have incidental rel
erence.
1t may be we'll to add that pretty
nearly every man on the Democratic
side of the House wants to say some
thing when the discussion is started, Sc
that besides those already named az
cooked and primed with speeches, there
are dozens of others struggling VIII
the question, and putting their wisdom
into the proper shape to startle the
House when the eventful momeh
comes.
Among those known to be prepared
is Mr.. Schleicher, of Texas, who Is re-
puted as exceedingly well informed
upon this question. He represents TN
San Antonio District, and was borr
and educated at Darmstadt in Germa
nv. He ia a hard-money man, ant
those who know him speak so highly
of his attachments that considerable
interest is already felt in his expected
speech.
Mr.. Hale exposed one of the cam.
paign tricks to be used by the Republi
can party in his reference to the hum'
Der of Rebel war-claim bills introduc
ed. They mean to spread the STORY
that while the Democrats are making
such show of retrenchment on pup
lie appropriations they are preparing
to sauander millions by passing prl-
vate relief bills. Already the work o.
collecting these bills has been com
mepced, to be scattered broadcast over
the country of Republican campaign
document.
The truth Is that not quite one nun
dred more war claim bills nave oeei
introduced this year than had been a
the same time last Congress. vi I'M
bills introduced this year fully three
fourths are bills which have been De
fore previous Congresses, many o
which passed the House and still more
received the favorable report OF Tn
War Claims committee.
So far, only this latter class nav
been referred to subcommittee OF I'M
committee, and the only bill reportee'
this Congress is one reported favoraoi.
by the War Claims committee OF IN,
last Congress, but which were az
versely reported. 1t is said Mr.. Blaln
will repeat Mr.. Hale's charge.
The House Committee on Elections
have a singular case before them II
which the right of member TO Tn
seat is questioned without any contest
ant claiming Ii. The seat is that nell
tv l.. Hoge, a Republican, claimin!
to represent the Third District OF Sout'
Carolina, which District is formed II
violation OF section % of the revised
statutes, which provides that Congres
sional districts shall be composed o
contiguous territory.
The committee have not yet regular
" agreed on their report, but IL
known that the Democratic memner
hold that the arrangement of the DIS
ttict is so plainly in violation OF pot
the letter aud the spirit of the law ina
they cannot possibly do otherwise ina ma
report against Hoge's rignt 10 .ne pea ses'
he now holds. There Is no pretenc'
that he did not receive majority o
the votes of the district.
IL is understood that some oil the ne
publican members Of the com mit. e
mean to oppose the resolution whic !.
will be presented declaring HOY sea
vacated. They propose, 1t Is rumofee
to adopt q strange line DOT argumep
