From Our Regular Correspondent
WAsHIxGToS. july 27.-Oncc upon time
there was man in Washington VINO
boosted that he was bigger man than
Grant. aud that man was Colonel fltz-
hugh. Of lcXas. who eventually found Shat
he wasn't qu tie ~ important a. hc imagined
himself 20 be. so there i another man
here at this time VINO thinks Ie is bigger
than several people al rolled into one. u
Is almost needless 90 say that the party rs
Corporal Tanner. whose bureau Is being
now invest gatcd by @ commission r.
Gently appointed. Tanner has. from all
accounts, started ont 10 prove that Score

do ANYTHING with him. Indeed. Tanners
friends do not hesitate 70 declare That tuc

the Department Of Justice when Partner
Miller Is placed upon the Supreme-Co
bench. This would be the only way o.
keep peace in the family. Tho prevailing
impression is. however, that Tanner VIII

until after the Ohio elections.

Tanner il undoubtedly something % %
hero in the eyc- ~ Grand Army men, and
hc has behind him Block--oi-five Dud-
ley and the entire army at pension shefnS
and claim agents VINO iuic-t the ciiN- iur
oX-.Oldlers are nearly all after pensions.
and i'm view of the fact that such loud pro-
misses were made the old soldiers last year
bv the leaders Of the Republican party
they now want those promises Kept aud
think that Tanner is the man - open tine
Treasury vaults. The Republican Leaders
promised more than they can perform and
they will not stand by the agreement.
They are afraid of tine taxpayers ma the
North.
1t seems rather odd that an admiustrn-
ton has at TINS early stage TO lnvesuea,t
the acts Of one of its own officers. } ne

THE IMPOSITION.
During these duh times whom tho Pre5i-
dent and nearly all of the Cabinet officers
are ont of town the lyelest topic of
conversation among NashinWouans r
the prlp0sed Three Americas Expo
siti0n in 1892. The efforts of the New
Workers 10 capture the exposition has GER
taulv created q stir here, and tine Board oi
Promotion. with headquarter. m ms city,
are losing no time in irving To- hold their
ground. One great trouble ln ~" way OF
Washington is that the businessmen
here have very little money. and
they viii have to rely almost
entirely upon Government aid To run the
Exposition. The New Workers are gong
10 say 10 Congress that tho0 want no
monev-Only the Governments sanction.
The Chicago people are going to adopt the
same tack. and u is even smd that -.
Louis is once more thinking of put
ting in bid for the Exposition.
With SO many conflicting Interests
il is hard 10 say which city VIII come out
ahead Boston proposes 10 have q sort 81
side-show 10 the proposed New YORK ai-
fair and If this is insisted ou oi cours
the New England congressman viii nearly
all Join hands with the New Workers when
the fight is opened in Congress.

Tx-Congressman Jacob Yo>t, of virginia,
has been eagerly looked for M tins city for
the past two days. but the young man l-
thought TO have gone straight homo from
Deer Park, where the President d. report
ed 10 have denied hlIn an interview. Near
Is every one l. Interested M knowing Just
why the cX-Cougrcssman could NOT get am
audience. The presumption Is that Mr.
NOst. not being follower Of Malone any
longer. the lattcr's influence may nave Lad
something to do with tine refusal 90 SEQ
him on the part of President itarrlsHn. 10
may be that this Was not the case, hut hr.
