WASHINGTON LETTER. q,
From our regular correspondento
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May II, IL


The boat race which is to take place on the
Potomac on the 10th inst. is just now much
greater attraction than the court cabinet or
congress The daily papers have columns OF
comment, and for the once have ceased t. In.
terview presidential candidates and their back
srs, but publish interviews with the two prn'
cipa sports and their associate gamblers. A
greater crowd Is expected than when General
Thomas's statue was unveiled, while many
predict that the gathering will be larger than
at presidential Inauguration. Pickpockcts,
hotel thieves and all the concomitan,s o: this
vile and useless sport have been on the ground
for more than a week, and the docket of the
police court is overlooking with such blunder'
ing villains rs are unskillful enough to be
detected. 1t would greatly simplify matters
and purify the atmosphere if the two principal
gamblers, hanlan and Courtney, could be
compelled to use their miraculous muscle IN
some honest, respectable work, such as break
ing stones or splitting rails. What splendid
galley slaves they would make! Chained to
the oar, they could row to their hearts content,
and while they mi ght not make as good speed
as IN their utterly useless 80 pound shells, they
would do infinitely l.ss harm than they are
doing now, encouraging gambling, ldlencss
and cO.relative crime.
The house on Saturday voted l2l to 80 to ad-
jourH on May 81. The resolution goes to the
senate for concurrence. Immediately upon
this action caucus of Democratic members
was held IN the hall OF the house, which re-
solved that the agreement to adjourn ought to
be reconsldercd and the question left open I'M
iii the important legislation now pending has
been disposed of. The opponents Of the adj
ijournment resolution have not abandoned
hope notwithstanding the adoption of the reso-
luton. They say they are confident that the
senate will not concur in it for some time.
When it reaches the senate it will probably
be referred to the committee on appropriations,
take that reference. The chairman of the
committee, Mr.. Davis of West Virginia, is the
only Democrat on the committee who is in IA
vor nt adjournment. aud if the resolution shall
be referred there 1t will be some time before it
will be reported back. But, apart from the
desire to get up measures of general legisa-
ton, it is agreed that it will be impossible to
get away at the time fixed in the resolution.
The senate has shown no disposition to hurry
up the appropriation bills. The military
academy bill is still in conference and no
prospect yet of an agreement.
If congress adjourns on the 3lst inst. it will
be the first time so early scattering has been
effected in presidential year since 1892. That
was the year in which the first delegate presl-
DENTAL convention was held

A Carson City, New, paper reports the fol.
lowing lively law proceedings:
A young man came into Judge Cary's court

that's it!'' rejoined the court, pocketlng the
coin; then you can start in, and we'll call 1t
square" The young man advanced 10 the
court and let out his left. the judge ducked
his head and, rising up, lifted the intruder in
the eye with arighthander, and sent him over
against the wall. In moment the court was
climbing all over the man, and in about three
minutes his face WAS hardly recognizable. The
man begged the court to let up, which he final

commences with description of hell, topic
