OpR WASHINGT0N LETTER.

To the Editor of the NEWS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March. 10
1t is not at all likely that the senate
bill providing for the erection of post
office buildings in SIZE and cost pro-
ever become a law. The bill is the
outcome of large number of bills
which have passed the house this ses-
sion for pu bic buildings, but even the
| senators see so many objections to the
proposed plan that the expression is all
against its passage. So large num-
Der of bills for public buildings could
| not have passed the house but for the
large surplus in the treasury and the
reduction of revenues that will follow
upon the passage of the tariff bill. The
members see that now or never is the
time to get their public buildings, and
SO the golden opportunity is taken and
the buildings go up.
Senator Vest is very much worried
| over the widely circulated rumor that
| he intends not to accept another cleo
ton as senator and viii retire from
politics. The senator has no such in
| tentions and will accept a reelection
| unless he be appointed to cabinet
position under Cleveland's second ad
ministration. The latter is not ct all
lIlDOSSlDlS dS GuO S6udGOE FIduuS very
| high in the estimation of the president
and he as well as the state of Missouri
may be honored by the bestowment of
| d cabinet position on the able senator.
The senate is up in arms against the
claim agents aud an investigation has
been ordered into the ways and means
| devised by some of them to work up
| the business. Some of the senators
complain that they are in frequent re-
fcJf
| mitting -etters from pension agents
urging the soldiers to appeal to Con-
gress for relief, and saying that now is
the time, as on the eye of the presiden-
| tai election both parties in congress
will by favorable legislation seek to set
| the soldiers vote. The senators are in
| dignant that it should be even insinua-
ted that they are Influenced by such
| motives and the investion into the
methods of one of the claim agents
whose circulars have been largely cir
| culars have been largely circulated, will
| result in such a report, and action that
others viii be deferred from pursuing
the same methods.
Senator Colquitt has introduced a
| bill to submit to the popular vote of
the people in the District whether we
shall have prohibition or not. While
it is probable that the prohibitionists
would carry the election. still there is
not the slightest probability of the bill
passing congress, at least at this ses-
sion. 1t has been introduced too late
in the session to receive consideration
in the house. even though it should
pass the senate.
The division among the republicans
in the house on the internal revenue
question has caused grave doubts as to
concert of action between the republi-
cans when the subject comes I'D for
| consideration before the full house. The
vote in committee on the abolition of the
| tobacco tax was looked upon as a
| test vote and the vote of Kelly and
Reed for the abolition and the other
| two republicans-Burrows and Browne
against it, is at the house regarded
| as very significant. II.

Kentucky's DefauItlng treasurer.


LOUISVILLE, KY, March 21.-Up to
10 O'Clock this morning there have been
no startling developments concerning
the defalcation in the state treasurer's
office. Conservative reports from the
state capitol place the amount of the
deficit between 1925, 600 and Sl50,000,
the former amount being stated by
Auditor Hewitt. More sensational
dispatches place the sum far above
these figures, one placing it at 1897 900
and crediting Expert Samuels with
the statement that it will prob
ably reach half a million dollars.
Beyond the fact that Tate left
Louisville Friday night for Cincinnati,
nothing is known of his whereabouts.
1t is believed that he fed from that
city to Buffalo and thence to Canada.
His friends think that when his papers
are oVerhauled a statement from him
will be found. The republicans are
claiming that Tate's defalcation will
enable them to carry the state at the
next state election. They say Tate's
shortage is but a proof of the charges
made by the republicans on the stump
that the democratic state government
was rotten to the core. One we'll
known member of the republican party
said: 'When Tate went into Office he
found in the treasury 81 300, 900; he
went out leaving it comparatively
empty and carrying, possibly several
hundred thousand with him.
Comment is unnecessary. The effect
on the democratic party may he of a
wholesome character, but it Will GER
tainly cause the republicans to put
forth new energy and gather in the
democrats who believe in honest gov
eminent, and it will certainly stop that
| everlasting cry of democratic purity,
so long shouted in the ears of the long
suffering people by democratic stump
speakers. You can say for me that
believe Tate's shortage will be of much
| benefit to the republican party and
| that if we don't carry the state for the
republican nominee this fall we will
| make things hum at the next state
| election
A dispatch from Frankfort to a
morning paper says: Some startling
developments are promised when the
private papers of the treasurer are
| looked into. 1t is said that these doc
uments will show loans to various high
| officials, among them being 1000 to
an ex-judge of the court of appeals.
It is said by men who are con-
versant with the states affairs
| that more men than one knew of Tate S
financial straits and they were in a
! measure responsible in putting him &c
and that is, the governor means to lay
open the whole matter. There are
| many uneasy heads tonight. Tate
| went to Louisville, it is stated, to
| await the result of legislative action on
| AN extension. and that as soon as the
| extension resolu ion was adopted he
decided to leave.

Condition of Range Cattle.

DENVER, COL. Feb. pr. G. Head,
President of the international Range Asso-
citation, and largely interested in the range
cattle business, returned tonight from an
extensive trip in Southern Colorado, New
Mexico and Texas. In an interview he
stated that the reports circulated in
the East that the loss of range cattle
this winter would reach from 80 to IS per
cent, is absolutely false. He said that
from personal observation he knew that
the range cattle in Colorado, Texas, New
Mexico, Indian Territory, Wyoming and a
portion of Arizona, were never in better
condition, at this season of the year, than
at present, and that the losses this year
would be comparatively nothing; that
while the stock is not suffering for feed,
snow is needed in Wyoming, Colorado and
Northern New Mexico, while Southern
New Mexico, Texas and the Indian Terri
tory have had an abundance of rain,
thereby insuTing hardy grass. There has
been some mortality among the cattle In
q small part of Arizona and Texas, south
of the Pan Handle, caused principally by
overcoming ranges. Mr.. Head prophesies
that In the next two years the price of
cattle will advanse, and those who have
held their stock through the depression
for the past three years will reap great
financial harvest.

A KIeptOmaniac Hangs Herself.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-ISpecial. Our
usually quiet city was startled this morn
ing by the announcement of the suicide of
Mis-. Mary Harrod in the county Jail. Mrs.
Harrod's former residence was in Vim
csnnes, and before that at Louisvill, KY.
She came here about two years ago and
bearded with various families, and at every
place took some household article away
with her. Nothing was done to bring her
before the courts until she removed to the
McCarty Hotel. From there she went
back to Vincennes, but Mr.. McCarty, miss
ing some articles which he knew she only
could have taken, procured her arrest at
Vincennes snd had her brought to this
city for trial. Though she stoutly pro.
claimed her innocence, the evidence
against her pointed so strongly to her guilt
that she was bound to court under bond Of
800. Being unable to give bond she was
remanded to jail, to which place she went
weeping, disheveling her hair and beating
her nose until it bled profusely. Sac
claimed to be 6 sister of Judge Norris, OF
Columbus, Ohio. This morning about 10
o'clock, while Colonel Hardy was holding
an interview with her with q view to get
ting her released from Jail, she told him she
was going to kill herself to-day, but he,
thinking nothing of such an assertion,
paid no attention to it. But scarcely had
he left the cell before she must have pro-
ceeded to carry out the threat, for twenty
minutes later, as the Deputy Sheriff came
through the corridor of the Jail, he saw her
half reclining and suspended by towel
fastened to the door of her cell. He I'M
mediately cut her down. She was not
quite dead, but restoratives failed to revive
her. She was an unfortunate klepto-
maniac, and, it seems, could not nelp
stealing, for she gave away all she stole.

Juvenile Logic.

==She had taken the curly haired boy on
her knee, and was telling his mother, on
whom she was calling, how handsome he
was, and all that sort of thing. The con-
versation was on marriage, and she was
telling some story about man who
had lost his license when he was going to be
married.
"Of course he couldn't get married with
out license"
The curlv-headed boy looked up.
"Did you have license when you were
married?'
"Yes, certainly, Bobby"
The boy climbed up and began pulling
down the ruching about her neck.

This does not seem to be an isolated case
of childish reasoning. A small boy who
had got dog had been led on to the same
subject, and wanted to know from his
mother about marriage licenses. She
showed him her wedding ring, and told him
very prettily that was the license. She was
going out one day and she dropped it. 1t
rolled out of sight, and the small boy was
under the sofa looking for 1t.

asked him,

out without it, cause she'll be snaked in"
