Charges Against Consul Lewis.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lily esterday
NJ BenezCli, the Morocco merchant
whose complaints against William
Baird Lewis, United States consul at
Tangiers. were laid before President
Harrison Tuesday, was accorded an
audience by Secretary Blaine. Bene-
zuli alleges that Consul Lewis received
S435 for extending the protection of
the government of the United States
to himself, thinking such protection
would be of benefit to him in his bust
ness. Other apparently damaging dis
closures in the management of the
Office by Consul Lewis were made. AT
the close of the interview Secretary
Blaine wrote cablegram to Consul
Lewis, directing him to appear at the
state department and meet the charges
made against bIm. An article in the
Madrid treaty between the United
States and Morocco authorizes and
empowers the Representatives of the
United States in Morocco to extend
the protection of his government over
members of his household, and such
other residents of the country as it is
desired to honor because of their ser

WAsHINGToN, d. c., Oct. 11.-Rep-
resentative Clifton Breckenridge, of
Arkansas, says that the democrats will
not throw single objection in the way
of rational unsectlonal legislation by
the republican majority. 1.-The action
of congress-, continued Mr.. Brecken-
ridge, "by enacting a sensible, business
like measure of reduction of the tariff
Oh the line of popular idea of reform,
takes the tariff matter out of politics
for a while. / am impressed with the
belief that we shall have to make the
same fight in 1892, that we made in
1899, but 1T is certain that the demo-
cratic members of the next congress
will be at least as firm as the republi-
can members of the last in seeing
that a measure gets before the house
and comes to vote before both houses.
We will agree to bring the bill to a
vote snme time in both houses and let
the majority take the responsibility
for legislation; that is to say if the
measure is not obviously unfair. Mr..
Carlisle's position as recent speaker of
the house, his great abilities and ex-
perience, the confidence reposed in his
sagacity and his unswerving orthodoxy
all seem to declare that he will lead the
minority in the Eifty-first congress. -
