Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l5-If Mr.. Hewitt can in
duce the friends of the bill to reduce the duty
on fruit brandy to allow him ''the right of tway"
he will attempt to secure consideration for
the bill putting the Mexican treaty into effect
as soon as the interstate commerce bill can be
disposed of. Owing to the opposition of Messrs.
Morrison and other revenue reformers, there is
doubt about the passage of this bill in the
House. Among those who have given the sub
ject close attention there is on the other hand,
no doubt whatever as to the fate of the Spanish
treaty They all concede its defeat, although
there are many who will endeavor to stem the tide
of opposition believing that the treaty is step
in the direction of a commercial union between
the countries of America, Representative Rice,
of Massachusetts, member of the committee on
foreign affairs, says that he favors the treaty
because the House must. either assume the re-
sponsibility of breaking the Presidents word to
Spain, or must ratify it He says, however,
that thus far American diplomatists have been
outgeneraled by the Europeans John Jay ne
gotiated the best treaty that the United States
ever entered into. Since his time every treaty
negotiated has given the other country the ad
vantage. Now, unless the Spanish treaty is
ratified, there is danger that Bismareks attempt
to secure Cuba will be successful This the
United States must guard against at any cost

The Alarming News and Its Effect on
British Home Politics.


British Home Politics.
LONDON, Dec 15.-The news from India con-
tinues to be alarming, and the concerted action
of Germany and Russia in Egypt increases the
suspicion that there is some agreement between
them as to Russian action against England in
Central Asia. All these things have produced
very uneasy feeling. People already speculate
the coming session opening with an outburst
of the furious partisan passion which the truce
of the franchise negotiations has interrupted
and some franchise prophets declare that Lord
Salisbury will be Prime Minister some time
next year. The conservative leaders tinue to
work the fair trade cry for all 1t is worth. Lord
Salisbury has gone ESQ far as to support demand
for an inquiry which is the form the movement
takes just now, and Mr. Chaplin and Mr.
Lowther carried resolution in the same direc
ton at prolonged meeting of the Central Agr-
cultural Chamber Of England. On the other side
there is strong counter-movement for relief of
the existing agricultural distress by huge and
wholesale reduction of the rents, and no rent
manifestoes are preparing not only in the Scotch
isles, but in some English counties. while in
Ireland there small but significant symp-
toms of a renewal of the agitation against the
landlords.
