WASHINGTON, d. C., August 30.--Tbe
Presidents victory IN the fisheries mat
ter Is complete, and the Republicans in
both houses have concluded that il IL
useless TO "kick against the pricks, F"
and have determined to make no opposi-
ton to granting him all the powers re-
quested in his recent message. The
House Committee on Foreign Affairs met
to-day and agreed unanimously TO report
Dir. Wilson's hill TO that effect with some
slight notifications. Mr. McGreary
presented it in the House this afternoon,
and Saturday was fixed for it's considera-
ton.
TO "KIcK" But AcQUIEscE.
IL is expected that the Republicans
will take occasion 10 protest against the
Presidents policy as outlined by his
message, and then vote for the bill 20
carry it out a few members from the
Northwest whose constituents fear that
they will be injured by its provisions and
some Of The representatives OF the rail-
roads5in that vicinity may vote against
it, but ii will be passed by large ma
iority. Senator Frye to-day expressed
his willingness TO grant the President all
the powers asked for. SO it seems the
Senate will for once agree with the
House in doing justice to Mr.. Cleye-
lands craftsmanship.
HARRISON CORyERED.
Indiana Democrats ere jubilating to-
day over the letter Of the Executive
Board of District Assembly NO. lO6,
Knights OF Labor, TO John G. New d
Son, editors and proprietors OF the
Indianapolis Journai, claiming the
rewards Of 81 900 offered by that paper
to any one that could prove that Benja-
min Harrison ever said that tone dollar
per day was enough for any working
man." and $1,000 that he ever said
"Were l the Governor l would force
these men back TO work at the point Of
the bayonet." The committee give a
long list of witnesses, who say that
they heard General Harrison make
these remarks, and having produced
the proof they ask for the reward. Among
the witnesses is one Benjamin Seahen,
who says: 81 now quote Benjamin Har-
risons exact language If l were
Governor OF this State or sheriff Of tins
county / would have every train run
ming If I had 10 wade IN blood TO my
finRer-tips Democrats from that State
now claim that it is as sure for Cleye-
land as kentucky, and they expect not
only TO carry the State, but TO carry It
by such a majority as will take II out
OF the list OF doubtful States hereafter.
JUDGE THURMAN II FINE SPIRITS.
Representative Cultivate has return
ed from his trip accompanying Judge
Thurman to Michigan, and was at the
Capitol to-day. lie says that the Old
Roman is in the best OF health and
spirits. and his recent visit to Michigan
has satisfied him that the Democrats viii
carry that state. Dir. Cultivate thinks
it uncertain whether Mr.. Thurman can
he in New York on tho 9th of Septem-
her, but says he will certainly get there
before the election. lie thinks that it
might, perhaps, be good policy to have
him there the week before election, and
let him 90 from there to wind mp the
campaign in Indiana. This, however,
he saws, will be determined by the Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
PERPLExED REPUBLICAN SENATORS.
The Republican senators will have
another conference at Senator Evarts IS
house this evening over the tariff cold
meats. 1t is evident they are very much
disguised with the job they have under
taken. and would like very much to give
it the Ro-by if they could do so con
sistently. The taxes on sugar, lumber,
and liquor is the rock on which they
split. The fellows that want free sugar
don't want free liquor, and those that
would consent to free liquor oppose free
lumber. So there is night all around.
FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Major McCiammy, Of North Carolina,
has returned from visit to his State
with the most cheering news OF prospects
there. He says the Old North State will
give an old-time majority for the Demo
cratic ticket. and the chances are good
that she will send a solid Democratic
delegation TO the Fifty-first Congress.
The following have been appointed
postmasters Samuel V. Hartley, Extra,
Putnam county, W. Va, and Minnie j.
Beard. Oylmer, Pocahontas county, Va.
The President is expected back from
his fshing-tour il Virginia on Saturday
next.
