WAsKIsGToN, May Is. The broad
ground taken by the Republican
cancus to-day that the pending
Democratic resolution is an illegal,
Injurious and revolutionary attempt
to reopen the settled questions of
the presidential title and should be
persistently resisted by all means
in the power of the minority, will
lead to dead lock of business in
the house for time. the length of
which cannot be conjectured. The
struggle will certainly run through
the present week, and even if the
Democrats muster quorum by
Saturday, as is this evening expect
ed, the minority will still be able by
skillful use of we'll known parlimen-
tary expedients, to postpone final
action on the Potter resolution in
definitely. 1t is the general impress
sion, however, here that the dead
lock will be ended in some manner
early next week. Alexander Steph-
ems has telegraphed to Potter advis-
ing that full debate be allowed, and
an opportunity given for vote on

counsels may very possibly prove
efficious with sufficient number
of conservative Democratic repre-
sentatives to bring about satisfac-

Chief Moses and his People.

Chief Moses and his People.
Gen. Howard received dispatch
yesterday from Col. Cuvier Grover,
Of Fort Walla Walla. of which the
! following is the substance:
I have received a letter dated May
10th, dictated by Chief Moses and
complaining that reports are con-
stantly made to him that the whites
do not believe his professions Of
peace. Moses reiterates all he has
said; says he wants peace, and that
he and his people are trying to do
right. He hopes Gen. Howard will
visit him and his peopls soon, as he
said he promised to do. Chief Mos
es seems to wish to be reassured
that they will not be disturbed them
selves. Have sent no answer, as
messenger does not return. Have
forwarded Moses letter by mail.
In addition to the above letter
has been received from Capt. Wilh-
inson, who has arrived at Yakima
in safety; also a letter from Rev. j.
H. Wilbur, agent at Simcoe. The
latter writes that he had just sent
out q delegation Of friendly Indians
from the reservation to go to Chief
Moses and have a talk. Further
and more satisfactory news may be
anticipated in few days.
We have just interviewed Mr.. J.
A. Shoudy, a gentleman who is en-
gagged in merchandising at Ellens-
burg. Yakima county, Washington
Territory. in regard to the reported
Indian difficulties. Chief Moses
and his people reside in that section
o. country adjacent to Ellensburg.
Mr.. Shoudy says he has had much
to do with Moses and his tribe.
They have purchased supplies for
long time at his store, and he says
tho Indians arc fair and honorable
in their dealings, and seem peace
able and we'll disposed generally.
Moses appears to be man of much
influence among the Indians and 10
greatly respected by all, Should
there be a war, Mr.. Shoudy is of the
opinion that Moses could summon
to his aid not less than 1000 war;
riors. He says that he has repeat
elly declared that he is in favor of
peace. He does not wish to have
any trouble with the whites. All he
wants is to be let alone--to be al
lowed to remain vh-re he is. The
country where Moses and his peo-
pie live is not suitable for white set
tlement and is not desired. Moses
says he has never received any am
nuities from the government, and
does not want blanket or a poand
of ra.ions from Uncle Sam. He and
his people are perfectly Independent,
and are able and willing to pay for
all they get. Tonasket, it is claim
ed. is a usurper and wants to get
possession OF authority His claim
for control is contested by Moses,
and that is why Tonasket wants the
military to, step il and enable him
to maintain his authority. Much
Of the present difficulty is said to be
directly attributable to this would

Horace Greedy as a Borrower
and Lender.

concerning Horace Greeley's
folly in lending such enormous
sums to worthless applicants,
who only repaid him with in
gratitude. This was a remark
able weakness, but it may, to a
certain degree, be explained.
Greeley was, during the first
seven years of his New York
life, a poverty-s stricken adven-
turer, who failed in every effort.
He had many hopes of making
the NeaU Yorker a success (and
indeed 1t was the best weekly is
sued in this city,; but it was
swamped by the hard times
which followed the panic of 1887.
In 1910 he found himself with
out a dollar, and was glad to en-
gage in the service Of the Whig
party as editor of the Log Cabin.
The salary was $40 a week for
six months, which was consider
ed very coed pay.
When the campaign was over
Greeley determined to start the
Tribune, but unfortunately he
had no capital. He tried every
way possible to obtain a money
ed man for a partner, but was
unsuccessful. McElrath had a
few hundred dollars, and at last
Greeley was glad to accept him,
especially as he was a ready
business man, When all other
applications had failed, the am
bilious editor remembered a not
ed resident Of Jersey City, who
had large resources, and he de-
termined to try another effort.
He therefore made q call on this
man (the late Dudley S. Greg
ory), and, having mentioned his
case, asked for the loan of 81 900.
Alternate hopes and fears NOV
ed his breast until he saw Greg
ory fill up a cheek for the
amount, and the editor depart
ed with 4 light heart. This loan
enabled him to start the Tribune,
which was the great success of
his life, and gratitude so wrought
upon him that he determined
never to refuse any similar ap-
plication.
This rule not only bound him
permanently, but its power so
increased that at last he lost all
ability to refuse. He paid
Gregory with his first earnings,
and after that he lent, indiscrim-
inately to all who cared to bleed
him. Whenever a loan was So
licited be always recalled the
scene when he, too, was bor-
rover. He remembered how he
then felt the Importance OF those
words, yes or no. If Gregory
had uttered the latter, the Irib-
une might never have been more
than a young editors dream.
That fatal word, however,, was
not spoken, and Greeley ever
afterward followed Gregory's
example, though it cost him
nearly one hundred times the
amount Of the original loan.-
