Storie. of the Washington Iobby

One Of the most powerful and audaClOus
lobbes of the olden times says a Washington
correspondent, was that which came to Wash
ington IN the interest of the Collins steamship
company, TO obtain "A subsidy from the
government for running steamships between
New York and Liverpool. The tactics Of this
lobby were in those days regarded Is some
what peculiar. sam Collins, who was at its
head, was Joyial, hail fellow well met sort OF
a person, who weighed $50 pounds, and did
everything possible by good feeling to bring
all those who he believed could serve him up
to the same standard.
He and his small army Of assistants for the
more scrupuiOus members of Congress kept
open house at Willard hotel, while for those
who were not so particular entertainments of
the most lavish character, poker games, and
unlimited wines were provided at all hours of
the day and night IN the headquarters on Thlr-
tecnth stieet.-This establishment was literally
free to all who desired to partake Of its hospl-
tality. There was absolutely no limit to the
expenditure of those who conducted it, and by
these means, and by occasional iudicious
Loans" to impecunlous members, the Collins
forces at last succeeded in obtaining the half
million grant which they desired. But they
were never successful otherwise These steam.
ers, tho't to be the best atloat, proved to have
been badly constructed; one of them was lost,
and after the failure to obtain second subsidy
in 1888, the company broke up
Shortly after Collins had obtained the sub.
sidy, Commodore Vanderbilt, encouraged by
his success came to Washington, hoping that
he also might receive share OF the public pap.
His manner of influencing public and official
opinion was peculiar and characteristic. He
caused to be built an enormous steamer which
was gorgeously fitted up and said to have cost
upwards of Sl000000. This vessel, filled to
overlooking with all sorts of wines, liquors and
catables, he ordered to Washington, and then

the card had it, invited the President of the
United States, members of the cabinet, senators
and congressman. When the guests arrived at
the proper time, they found the most sumptu

For two days this most lavish entertainment

so much scandal IN connection with the Col

doors. Even with tins foreign demand for
American oatmeal and the increase in It's home
consumption, this important and profitable
branch OF milling is, rs a national industry, IN
It's comparative infancy in tins country. Very
few extensive and well equipped oatmeal mills
exist among us. Those at work have all they
can do, and are making money. The secrecy
which the principal oatmeal millers have here
toiore maintained concerning their improved
methods, and avidity with which one or two
have bought up every real improvement in
machinery as fast as they have been invented,
have resulted in practical monopoly in some
localities and speaking plainly of the profta-
bic character of the business There has been
