WASHINGTON LETTER. /

WASHINGTON, DC. May, 2, 1884.
There is a good deal Of feeling in
the Senate because of the tardy
transaction ofbusiness in the House
of Representatives.. Senators are
saying it is useless for them to be
working diligently and passing
measures, only to haYe them lost
sight of in the House. Over three
hundred bills passed BY the Senate
are lying on the Speakers table
that have not even been referred to
committees. In view Of this, situa-
alton the Senate thinks it may as
well move along leisurely, and it
has been suggested that the body
shall sit hereafter only about four
hours each day-just in order to
consider and pass preparation bills
and kindred measures and that
itshall adjourn each week from
Thursday to Monday. Senators claim
they can then attend fully to
committee and department. duties,
without neglecting public business,
since the House cannot now catck
up with the Senate.
Since the beginning Of the Tar.
if debate, the Hori zontal bill has
been before the. House three days,
and at three night sessio ions, the
evening sessions being held especii.
ally for the discussion Of this ques-
ton. By an : greement entered
into it was to be disc used on three
days Of this week, and on one,

All the delegates to the National
Republican convention have now
been elected. As nearly all the del.
egates are uninstructed, and as the
preferences of many are unknown,
it is impossible to give anywhere
near an accurate estimate of the
strength of the several candi.
dates. This much is certain,
neither Blaine nor Arthur will
have enough votes to nominate
on the first ballot. The convention
will be composed If $40 delegates,
and of this number the Pioneer Press
gives Blaine 279, Arthur 264, Ed.
munds IS, Logan so, Sherman 81,
HaWley, Gresham and two or three
others, 80 together, and 81 uncom-
mitted. As All votes are necessary
for choice, the only escape from
frnitless and endless balloting is an
effective and comprehensive com.
bination. Neither candidate is
