WASHINGTON LETTI =.

publicans in both Houses on tn
subject. He cheerfully concede
the President the additional Powe
asked for. but regrets that there j
! no more likelihood Of his usln
this new power than that he woult
use the power given him eighteeI
months ago. Mr.. Phelps think
that his last message and his FREE
trade message sent to Congress las
December ought to stand togethe
as the Siamese twins OF the presi
dental policy.
| The decided gain made by the
Republicans in the Vermont State
election is regarded here as a sure
indication of the carrying Of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut
for Harrison, Morton and Protec'
ton. The same ratio OF gain over
the 1884 vote will take those three
States out of the doubtful column.
"Signs of dawning are already in
the sky; the fearini darkness caus-
ed by the fear of free trade will
soon be over, and the citizens OF
this country will again take up
their march toward general pros
perity. and their pathway will be
illuminated by the brilliant rays OF
the bright sun of Protection" is
The way an enthusiastic Congress
man puts it.
The House, in its mad race for
votes on the Pacific slope, passed a
bill prohibiting Chinese immigra-
ton as soon as the unofficial news
of the rejection of the treaty by the
Chinese government was received
here.
No official news of the rejection
of the treaty has yet been received
at the State Department. 1t is
needless to say that the Senate will
at least have the courtesy to wait
tor official news of the rejection of
the treaty before passing a bill that
is bound to make serious complica-
tons. and may make war with
China.
The Senate substitute for the
Mills bill is now ready to be report
ed to the full finance Committee of
the Senate. and unless the Demo-
Gratis on that committee throw
some unexpected obstruction IN the
way, it will be reported to the
Senate next week.
1t is altogether useless for the
Democrats to attempt to obstruct
the passage of this measure. Such
action will only prolong the session
as the Republicans have fully de
termined that no adjournment shall
take place until the bill is passed.
Senator Sherman has offered a
resolution, which passed by the
calling upon the President
to inform the Sesate whether the
recent treaty with China had been
ratified by that country. This is in
contrast to the indecent
haste displayed by the House.
Senator Stewart has offered a
resolution for the appointment of
select committee to investigate |
various matters connected with the |
of the laws relating to
public lands and timber depreda-
tons. Something is evidently rot
ten about the General Land Office,
and Senator Stewart intends that |
the people Shall know what it is.
Senator Chandler's resolution for
an investigation of the last louisa
IA State election was called up
Wednesday, and Senator Pasco
made feeble attempt to defend
his party for some Of the terrible
charges mace by Mr.. Chandler.
He thinks it is bad taste to stir up
such things; they make hard feel
ngs. That's just what the South
srn Senators used to say many
Years ago, whenever anybody re-
erred to the horrors Of slavery. Such
did not answer then, and
hey will not now.
