WASHINGTON LETTER.

INe ElenDefS Oh TIE IOIsS -ulHiu
Congress are arriving in the city daily.
They are talking about the speak
ership contest, about revising the
rules of the Lower House, about the
Senate's opposition to Presidential ap-
poiatments, and about the questions
to be presented this winter to the
new Congress
While it is understood that the
Democratic majority will re-elect Mr..
Carlisle Speaker, the Republicans will
give the complimentary nomination
to one OF their brethren. AS the
Member thus selected becomes the
virtual leader Of the minority, a GER
tain interest centres II the coming
action OF the House Republican eau
Gus
Several names are mentioned for
this honor. They are Messrs. Reed,
of Maine, Hiscock, Of New York,
Long, of Massachusetts, and Mckin-
lev Of Ohio. The two formerare real
ly the only candidates, and it is
thought that Mr.. Reed will get the
nomination. Being more aggressive
and more courageous in the expires
sion of his opinions than 3!r. Hiscock,
he is the natural leader Of the Repub-
lican minority.
rhe Republican leaders are all high
tariff advocates. Ali ofthe leaders on
the Den cratic side, with the excep-
ton of -ur Randall, are pronounced
revenue reiormers. Therefore the
battle in the House between protec-
ton and reform OF the tariff, promises
to be fought on strict party lines.
The extent TO which the Republi-
can Senators will oppose the Admin
istration in the matter ofappointments
will be determined by the caucus to
be held in about week. A Repub-
lican Senator remarked. Il do not be-
Ieve in opposing the President be
cause he is:a Democrat. There are
two things to be considered in an ap-
pointee whose name comes before
the Senate for confirmation Is he an
able man, and viii he honestly and
efficiently administer the affairs of bis
office" He did not think the qaes-
ton OF politics should be considered.
''StiH," continued the Senator, pres
ident Cleveland h;=s introduced a new
element in stating that he would re-
move no one except for offensive par
tisansllip. To remove en- offensive
Republican and appoint RI offensive
Democrat IL his place, is, to my mind,
inconsistent, and I shall take that
question into consideration when ap-
pointments come up for confirmation.
! i viii agree with the Administration
when can, and differ from it when
must."
The President is working hard day
and night on his message to Con-
gress, and annual reports are coming
lin from the various branches of the
Government. Gen. Sheridan's report

Strange MagerS.

The London swells are the most inveterate
betters in the world. Time hangs 30 heavily
on their hands that in the excitement of un-
certainty they find great relief A curious
bet was made in one of the London clubs
some years ago that will perhaps point a
moral. 1t was that q certain member could
not within two hours on London bridge sell
one hundred new guineas at a penny apiece.
The man took his place on the bridge with a
little tray on which he had the coins, He in
formed the passers by that they were genuine
gold coins from the bank of England, and
that they were 10 be had for penny each.
The cartmen and policemen laughed at him.
When the time expired, such is human in.
credulity that he had sold but two, which a
maid servant bought to amuse her little
charges. Another peculiar bet made in Lon
don was by well known barrister for a
large amount that he could, at certain hour,
block Fleet street in the busiest part of the
day and at its narrowest point. Half an hour
before the time appointed he took his stand
on the opposite side of the street from an in
suranCe office which had large lion over tine
door He was dressed like necromancer,
with long cloak and wearing tall, pointed
hat and large glasses over his eyes. Under
one arm he carried an enormous book and in
the 9TH held large telescope, which he
every few minutes pointed at the lion after
inspecting the book. People gathered
around, and he told them that in the book of
Balderdash it was written thut in half an
hour the lion would wag his tail. Slowly
walking up and down. and every few minutes
taking look at the lion through his glass,
he attracted the attention of everybody, and
the waiting crowd grew every moment dem
ser. Then wagons stopped to see what the
trouble all was, and these jammed others
until the whole street was crowded and i'm
passable. The barrister slipped away in the
crowd, but most obstinate jam ensued, and
it was more than an hour before the police
could clear the thoroughfure.
