Capital Notos. --
WASHINGTON, February 12.-The Senate
was not in session to-day.


After the reference OF large number Of
Senate bills to the Appropriation Commit
tees the Speaker proceeded to call the COM
mittees for for reports OF q private nature.
At the conclusion Of the call the House
went into committee Of the whole ON the
private calendar. At the evening session
the House passed seventy -one pension bills
and adjourned till tomorrow.
OUR NAVY.
Secretary Whitney, to-day, at the re-
quest OF the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, expressed his views relative to tho
reconstruction OF the navy. He began
with a accommodation that the uncom.
pleted monitors be completed. In his
opinion the type Of vessel most needed by
the navy was steel cruisers, as those now
building were good fighting ships, and in
time of war, would prove the effectiveness Of
their armor and machine guns. He thought
the Government should 60 on replacing it's
modern ships with these cruisers. After
sufficient appropriation should be made it
would take some time to draw up plans
and get the yards into condition to start
work. The Chairman inquired whether in
his opinion a part OF the appropriation
would be set apart for the construction OF
torpedo boats. In answer to Mr.. Thomas
the Secretary said he thought it would be
wise policy to offer private contractors q
bonus for speed greater than that called
for in the specifications, and also to impose
a penalty il the specified horsepower was
not realized; the vessels should be of the
cruiser type. Admiral Porter favored the
of the unfinished monitors.
which ne regarded as excellent ships. He
had had these yes, els at sea during the
war. and they rode it out like ducks. He
said he could take two of these vessels with
100 ton guns on each, and sailing around
one OF the big, clumsy ironclads, knock her
to pieces. Torpedo boats he thought
powerful weapon of defense. The Govern.
ment should, in addition to monitors, have
last men-of-war. Mr.. Cramp and Mr..
McNap, shipbuilders, and Admiral Simp-
son, also gave their views upon the subject.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our REGULAR correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
Probably no man In W ashington
is SO well pleased with what he has
done during the past weeks as is
President Cleveland. He launched
a shrewd, polite campaign docu-
meut upon the public as his second
annual message to Congress, and he
got the better Of his rheumatism.
The message was printed and bound
lin most sumptuous manner, In strik-
| ing contrast to the Jeffefsonian sim
I plicity so much talked of under the
present Administration. The paper
was of the finest quality and finish,
the margins liberal, and the type
extra large.
A certain statesman, when asked
bis opinion of the message, replied
promptly that the binding was very
beautiful. No President before Mr..
Cleveland ever had his annual mes
sages gotten mp in an elaborate style.
jetfersou's messages were written
closely on ordinary writing paper,
without an inch of space being
wasted In former years the annual
messages contained q great many
nominations, too, and they were
sent to Congress by mail. Nova
days each nomination goes in sepa-
rately on the best quality of paper,
aud whenever the President has any
thing TO say to Congress, his private
secretary takes his communication
to the Capitol in a carriage drawn
by two horses.
Now that Congress is here the
fact that the two wings of the Dem
ooratic party drop widely apart, be-
comes glaringly prominent again.
The so called Democratic leaders
realize that the present session is
likely to be as damaging to their
party a. was the last, but they seem
poWerless to help it. One trouble is
that the leaders cannot lead. Mr.
Morrlson's idea of producing bar
mony is to fight everybody who diff
fer, from him into an acceptance of
his views, and of course his policy
has failed utterly. Then Speaker
Carlisle has none Of the qualities of
a successful leader. lie iuterprets
The rules of the House very fairly,
but he either lacks energy or infu-
euce sufficient TO get his wishes car
rled out.
While the tariff programme in the
House is sull unsettled, IL is thought
the issue will come up in some shape
this week. There have been IN
formal conferences of all factions,
but no formal caucus, canvass, or
agreement The Republicans aud
ProtOctioui,ts would ike to defeat

President Cleveland has the exact
build which apoplexy has marked
Tor It's own. He is short, heavy
man, with a thick neck and he is an
enormous feeder. He weighs sixty
pounds more than when he came
here, and besides he takes no exer-
else, beyond riding out in a carriage.
All of these habits increase the apo-
plectic tendency. 1t is said that the
President is not devoid of supersti-
ton, either, and that he does not like
to pass under the sable draperies
with which the White House is now
swetaed IN memory of his predeces-
sor. Since he has been it's occupant,
Grant, Hendricks, and Arthur have
passed away, with but brief intervals
between, and Mr.. Cleveland has
pathetically alluded to the fact that
the sombre draperies had scarcely
been removed for the one than they
were required for another. 1t is a
notable fact that all the democratic
candidates for the Presidency, Sey-
mour, Mcclellan, Hancock and Til
den, have also died since that bright
day in March, less than two years
ago, when Mr.. Cleveland delivered
his inaugural address from the east
front of the capitol.
Mr.. Dawdney, the Congressman
from New York, who died of apo
pleXy during the past week, was es-
peclally interested in the bill appro-
priating half a million for the cree
ton of monument to General
Grant in Riverside Park. The bill
was at the head of the calender's
list, but is. was being antagonized in
some way by General Bragg. As
the deceased Member stepped
aboard the train for New York, his
last words to Gen. Viele were
"Please try and get Gen. Bragg to
consent to the consideration of N.Y.
bill"
