Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON. Feb. ., 1885.
Congress has talked much during the
week. and has called the yeas and nays sew
eral scores Of times. but usual, very lii
tie real business has been accomplished.
The Nicaragua treaty was killed in the Sen
ate; there was oratoTy against dynamIters,
and talk. about Pacific X ailway debt, and
Interstate Commerce In the House APP
preparations were in order. notably the Rv-
er and Harbor bill, the counting of the
electoral votes was fixed for the eleventh in
slant, aud there was no little fibusterng
for the precedence Of bills.
The River and Harbor bill embraces
feature that provokes fierce opposition. 1t
practically creates two offices for the benefit
Of Capt. Eads. one as superintendent of
Mississippi river improvements and another
as chief engineer Of the work on Galveston
halbor Some Western members complain
that there is too much Eais in the bill, that
it savors too strongly of favoritism.
Inc business OF congress THIS session mas
been much delayed and much legislation
will be defeated because Democratic mem
bers are afraid of doing something that
might conflict with the plans of the new ad-
ministration. The party was never more
unsettled in its purposes than now. 1t is
simply drifting, drifting, without helm or
compass. The Republicans rather enjoy the
dilemma of their opponents and are will
ling 10 help them do nothing, thus leaving
some troublesome questions to be settled
after the fourth Of March. Some Democrats
are alarmed at the situation and think il will
be necessary to have an extra session Of Con-
gress. The fact is that the Democratic fac
tions are so bitterly opposed TO each other
that neither will move for fear the other will
raise row. The recent conference invited
by Mr.. Cleveland with Mr.. Randall and the
Speaker Of the House, provokes the remark
that the President elect lacks the decision
Nth which he has been credited. 1t ahows
he does not enforce policy Of his own IN
spite of discordant leaders. II il thought
