Colonel sIorrisey Has Little Experience
in Bunko Den,

Al a. Oen.
NEW YORK, December 16th.- Colonel
John d. Morrisey, Colorado miner and
the owner of Montana Regent and other
racehorses, was coming out of his lawyers
Office here on Friday, when he was ac-
accosted by well-dressed young man who
carried valise. The young man erasped
Morrisey's hand, saying Hello, JOHNNY
when did you come from Leadville2T
The young mans face was familiar to
Morrisey, and when the stranger men.
toned Lesdville names the two went to a
saloon for refreshments. The young man
said he represented cloth mills in Con-
necticut, and offered to introduce Morrisev
to II. B. Clafin. They stopped at what
looked like railroad cut-rate ticket office.
Tie young man appeared to be at home.
Soon a granger came in and asked for a
ticket to 1.eavenworth. The young man
began punching one, the stranger display
ing q large roll of bills When warned
about carrying so much money, Hayseed
said he knew no banks.
: Well, here's Jack" said the young man,
he'll introduce you"
Hayseed replied II wish I'd met him
sooner. Only little while ago ! was in a
ticket Office and some fellows were plaving
game they called baseball-three cards
that they flung around-and the feller wAo
guesses the red card wins the money. l
bet 'em $500 and they won. l snatched
the cards and run out with 'em. Here
they are"
The fellow pulled out a red bandana from
its folds and extracted three cards, which
he proceeded TO throw around, three-card
monte style. Morrisey thus tells the rest
of the story:
After the first young man guessed q
card and won $500, 1 did the same and
won. took the money and was about to
go out, when Hayseed said: There Is a
$1,000 bill in the roll l said: Come up to
the st. James Hotel and get it, and made
for the door. The irst man skipped and
Hayseed got in my way. l knew 1 was
bunkoed, and planted my fist in his eye. 1

CONGRESSIONAL FORECASTS.
The Tariff Discussion-HolidayR Recess
The Weeks Work.

WASHINGTON, December 16th.-Congress
will adjourn for the usual holiday recess on
Friday next. In the Senate the business
of the week will be the consideration of the
tariff bill. Senator Mcpherson of New
Jersey, who has thus far led the opposition
to the Finance Committee, said 10. day: F."
do not expect any tariff bill to pass the
Senate this session. Congress will adjourn
from next Friday probably to January 7th.
The slow progress that is being made in the
consideration of the bill in Committee of
the Whole is painfully apparent. There are
innumerable amendments that will be Of
fered by the Democrats TO every schedule of
the bill. Then, when the bill is reported
from the Committee OF the Whole to the
Senate, there will be further amendments.
The Republicans evidently do not intend
that their bill shall be changed in any re-
spect- After nearly two weeks of discus
sion but one insignificant amendment has
been agreed to. For my part. if there was
the slightest prospect for any agreement be-
tween the two Houses that would result in
a compromise bill, would not offer the
slightest opposition to the passage of the
Senate bill in the shape in which il was re-
ported, but there is no such prospect The
House will not accept a settlement OF the
question ON the basis of the Senate bill,
aud vice versa. Therefore it seems to me
the best thing the minority in the Senate
can do is to show to the country the defects
and weakness of the Republican measure
After the holiday recess the appropriation
bills will begin to come into the Senate
from the House and their consideration
will displace the tariff bill"
No special orders have been made ssi.ine
apart certain days for the consideration c

Editor Cockeril and Mayor Hewitt Call
One Another Liars.

NEW YORK, December 16th.-A sensa-
ton has been created by lively personal
tilt between Mayor Hewitt and Colonel
John A. Cockerill, editor of the World.
During the late campaign the World was
strongly opposed to the reelection of
Hewitt to the Mayorality, and was largely
instrumental in causing his defeat. For
this Mr.. Hewitt has been hearty hater of
Editor Cockerill, whom he considers re-
sponsible for the Worlds course
The Mayor was witness on Friday be-
fore the Ssnate Investigating Committee in
the matter of the Supervisors accounts to
which the World has recently called pub
lie attention. IN the course OF bis evidence
he said:
"When a maa like John A. Sockerill de-
clares that the Mayor has ordered the Conn
missioners of Accounts 20 whiteYash

Colonel Cockerih replies, in an opsn letter,
as follows:

specified bills in the House this week. A
number of resolutions have been offered
and referred to the Committee on Rules,
making special orders, but they are for
dates after the holiday recess, and have not
been reported yet
The exodus of Congressmen who will
spend Christmas at their homes will begin
about the middle of the week, and by
Thursday there will probably not be a
quorum in the House Monday will be
Bill day" and after the introduction of
bills, motions to suspend the rules and pass
bills are in order.
On Tuesday the consideration of the Ok
iahoma bill has the right of way and will
consume the day. Wednesday is not set
apart for any particular measure, and after
an opportunity has been given members
to consider bills by unanimous consent,
the legislative appropriation bill will prob
ably be taken up. The Public Buildings
Com mmittee-who missed their turn on the
last call for consideration-wil try to Sc
cure Thursday for their business. The bill
for the Kansas City public building will
probably come up on Friday. The fill
clustering on the Nicaragua Canal bill will
be resumed. 1t is thought the river and
harbor bill will not be called up until after

A Canadian Statesmsn's Views on the
Annexation Proposition.

Annexation Proposition.
WASHINGTON, December 10Th. = John
Charleton of Lynedock, Ont, member of
the Canadian House of Parliament, speak
ing about Congressman Butterworth's an
nexation plan, says it is injudicious and
will prove of no consequence, ex-
cept that it may provoke resentment.
Mr.. Charleton said There is one
thing not taken into consideration in pre-
senting this resolution, and that is the fact
that the present Government of Canada
would be entirely hostile to such a propo
sition. Since 1867, with the exception of
i've years, the Government has been in the
hands of the Tories. 1t is foregone con-
cinsion that the present Government would
not entertain the proposition, and a fore
gone conclusion that the British Govern
ment would not entertain the proposition,
and when that fact is known beforehand ii
is folly 10 make the offer. Some people in
Canada think the blending of the two
countries into one Government will be ac-
complished in the future. Some think
this will be done in the next century. while
others think il can never be accomplished.
and if it ever is realized ii can only be in
consequence of forces yet to be set in mo
ton"
