WASHINGTON, March 1O.--The New York
Tribune this morning has the following
Washington dispatch about Chicago gentle
man: rs. J. Tilden is not corpse yet; not
at least in the opinion Of his admirers, one
of whom arrived here the other day from a
visit he had paid to the Sage of Gramercy
Park He doesn't talk above Whisper
this verdant Democrat said, "but then the
spirit that is in the old man, the wit and
ability to enjoy life, why, its amazing. When
I called, several young ladies who had been
paving him visit, came down from the
observatory in raptures about what they had
seen. Mr.. TildcH asked them how they
for anything replied remarkably beautiful
Young girl. Its prettier than anything
ever saw Tut, tut, my DEAR instantly re-
piled Mr.. Tilden, patting the young lady on
the back in fatherly way, did you never
take look in the looking glass" / tell you,
said this enthusiastic admirer of the sage,
as he concluded his story, "a man that can
say such things at his time of life is not too
feeble to run for the presidency. I'm for
Tilden every time" The speaker was
Erskine Phelps, of Chicago, president of the
Iroquois club.
THE MEXICAN TREATY.
The senate spent most of the day in ex-
ecutive session discussing the Mexican
treaty. 1t is believed that in another ses-
sion the senators will have had their say and
will be ready to vote. In fact, there was
some effort to get vote tonight, but il
would have disappointed few senators who
wanted to talk some more. The
debate was almost entirely again 81
the bill. Senator Miller, of California
chairman Of the foreign relations committee
urged the ratification of the treaty, and sen
ator Morrill,, of Vermont, read long speech
against it. He was followed on the same
side of the question by Senators Sherman
and Jones, and just before the session
closed Senator Gibson got the floor for q
speech which he will deliver the next time the
treaty is considered. This will probably be
tomorrow. There is specia
order on the calendar for
o'clock tomorrow, but majority can
set it aside. Senator Dawes got in an
amendment of a very novel character, which
was supported by Senator Sherman and
adopted with little opposition, providing thai
the treaty should not go into operation til
the house had approved its revenue features
This is a concession by the senate OF the
right of the house to be consulted in regard
to all commercial treaties. 1t is certainly
striking absurdity for the senate tc
insist on discussing the treaty with closed
doors, If the discussion is to be renewed IN
the house in open session Senator Vanwycl
stirred up the conservatives little by renew,
ing his proposition that the senate discuss
the treaty in open session and though
it was voted down, as he expected
it would be, the minority was of very
respectable size andincluded Senator Morrill,
The vote on the treaty will be so close thai
no reliable prediction as to the result can be
made, but one of the opponents OF the treaty
tonight expressed the opinion that the treaty
would be ratified. The proposition to con-
suit the house about the matter removes one
of the objections that has been pressed
against ratification.
WOULD BITTERLY REGRET 1T.
Ex-Gov. McCooR, of Colorado, formerly OF
Minnesota, in an interview with GLOBE cor
respondent respecting the Mexican treaty,
said that while it was likely to be ratified he
thought the country would bitterly regret it.
If coal, coke and American ores are
admitted into Mexico free of duty
and then products returned free into the
United States, the result would be thai
cheap Mexican labor would close every
smelling works in Colorado, New Mexico and
Arizona, and our laborers would be dis
charged The same is true of sugar, cotton
and tobacco, the capacity to raise these sta
pies being almost limitless in Mexico. 1t
would also give stimulus to smuggling on
the part of other sugar and
tobacco raising countries. The peonage OF
Mexico which must follow was worse than
African slavery and cheap Chinese labor
Already American cotton is transported 7O(
miles into Mexico, duty paid and manufac
tured cheaper than it can be manufactured
in New England, and therefore the interests
of white and colored American labor were
jeopardized.
TO SUCCEED M'CRARY.
Kansas politicians predict the appointment
of Judge Brewer, of that state, to succeed
Circuit Judge McCrary.
