WASHINGTON LETTER.

The week has developed the fact that
two questions at least will have no chance
in the forty-eighth Congress. Senate and
House committees have presented anita
gonistic views. The Senate committee
says Postal Telegraphy is practicable,
but that the House has put quietus on
all bills relating to this matter by adopt
lug resolution that it is inexpedent for
the Government to construct a postal /
telegraph, or to purchase any of the ex-
isting lines; and no Woman suffrage bill
will be passed, for while the majority of
the Senate committee have favored six
teenth amendment, the House is pre-
pared to report the matter adversely.
Another bill destined to stormy future
IS the Naval appropriation of fourteen
millions as passed by the House, which
tho Senate committee has consided and
returned to that body with an addition to
the amount Of six months.
During the week the lower House DIS
cussed and passed the bill to retire the
Trade Dollar, also the Agricultural apprO-
priatiOu, among the items of which is an
increase of $25, 600 for the distribution Of
seeds ami plants, and the Indian appro-
priation of five millions. The latter gave
rise to considerable discussion, during
which some members expressed their
opinions of the words of the Nation in
positive language. 4 far Western Rep
rCsentative said if millions were to he
granted every year Tor the support of an
idle, vagrant, malevolent, and malicious
race, he thought the Government might

DISASTER follows disaster in rupid
succession. After the steamer City

Cincinnati riot and the de, astating

mann with terrible loss Of life. The
vessel struck ON Head Rock shoal
about two hundred miles from Sam
bro Light during terrific gale and a
dense fog prevailing. Oyer one hun.
dred and twenty lives were lost. 1t
appears that the captain was ignor'
ant of the peculiarities of the coast,
and getting the coast lights mixed,
caused the disastrous wreck. 1t is
with sickening dread we read Of such
disasters and the sacrifice of human
life. There is a mistake somewhere.
Some one has blundered, and this ter
rible loss of life will have to be ac-
counted for This week the news
reaches US of the Bleaching Of the
steamer Newcastle City, plying be-
tween Boston and Halifax. The YES
sci struck on the Little Hope Shoal
off Liverpool, Queens county, n. S.,
during a thick fog, knocking several
holes in the vessel. Luckily no lives
we're lost.
Fires and floods have been unusu-
ally frequent and alarming in extent
this year. Terrific tOrnadoes have
swept over portions of the West, leav.
ing death and destruction in its wake,
Towns have been totally obliterated.
Hundreds of souls have been left
homeless and destitute. Surely the
ways of the Father, who doeth all
things well, is pas. all understanding,
and His goodness is beyond all human
comprehension.
