OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENC TO
HE"HERALD.")

Washington, d. c., Feb. 18th.
Sam Randall and chairman Mills
have locked horns for fight in the
House that bids fair to make the
last two weeks of the Fiftieth Con-
gress long remembered. The ques'
tion at issue between these two en-
inent Democrats is the seemingly
neyer-to- be -disposed-of tariff, Mr..
Mills, FROM the Committee on Ways
and Means, has reported the Senate
substitute for his tariff bill to the
House, accompanying it with a reso-
luton declaring that the Senate bill
is unconstitutional, and directing
the clerk of the House to return it
TO tho Senate. This of course is
just so much CANNON, and only
means that tie committee viii OPP
pose the Senate bill in every way
possible.
Here is where the real fight
begins: A bill which purports to be
an entirely new tariff measure has
been reported from the House Ways
and Means committee by Mr.. McMil-
lin. In reality it is only the Mills
bill with the cotton, metal and
chemical schedule left out. An
other bill has been reported from

TmE MERAAD.
FOUR NEW STATES.

-Four new States will be added 70
the Union tins year. The House
last week took a final and favorable
vote on the bill to admit tie two
Dakotas, Montana and Washington,
tabling the motion to reconsider its
vote of Thursday to tins effect, and
thus instructing its conferees to con-
sent to the admission of South
Dakota by proclamation without an
other division vote.
The only irreconcilable difference
between the Senate and the House
conferees was on the admission of
New Mexico, and on submitting the
question of Dakota's division to a
vote of the people. On both points
the House instructs its conferecs to
agree to the Senate's views. This
leaves no reason why the conferees
cannot now reach a perfect agree
lnent as to minor differences and it
insures the admission of the four
Territories named.
This is a Republican victory
second in importance only to that
achieved at the polls last November,
for it has been obtained by an over
powering pressure of Republican
demand for justice to the growing
Northwest. The issue has been put
so plainly before the whole country
by the Republicans that the Demo
Gratis have been fairly shamed and
routed from their partisan haggling
and dickering for the admission of
Mormon cursed Utah and New
Mexico, with a population the ma
jority of which cannot speak the
prevailing language of the country.
With eight new Senators and a
squad of new representatives the
Republican party will be stronger
in both houses of Congress, and by
its wise and progressive policy of
home rule, free ballot and a fair
count, it should make friends rather
than lose them.
The aggregate area of these new
States is 364,360 square miles, or
more than one-tenth of that of the
whole country, including Alaska's
577,39O miles; more than seven
lines as great an area as that Of
New York State, and of wonderful
agricultural capacities and mineral
resources. The Republican party's
economic policy of protection and
home development will be likely to
make the Dakotas, Montana and
Washington grow and thrive with
an immense bound upward, as the
industries of the Eastern and Middle
States did after the Republican
tariff of 1862. The eagles scream
will be accompanied by the music
of a million wheels,

FOR stolen BOuy.
DENVER, Colo, April 25.-T Special Tele-
gram to TIE BEE. About a year ago James
Greenway was taken i'll and after briet
sickness died, leaving considerable property
to his wife, Since the death of her husband
Mrs. Greenway was accustomed to keep his
with flowers. Yesterday, Mrs. Greenway
visited Riverside cemetery and was attend
ing to the flowers, when she noticed a
strange woman approaching. Supposng
the latter to be there on a mission similar to
her own, Mrs. Greenway paid slight atten-
ton TO the stranger When she finally looked
up and their eyes met, the stranger re-
markell
'What do you plant flowers on that grave
fora"
because it is the grave of my husband"
was the subdued reply.
"Well, you need not plant any more or
give the grave any further attention, as the
"What do you mean" nervously asked
Mrs. Greenway, growing apprehensive and
casting look of anxious inquiry at the
strange woman.
~ mean just what I say" was the cool
reply "The remains of your husband have
been removed. If you consider them worth
q small ransom believe / could secure and
return them, provided that you keep quiet,
and conditioned upon no questions being
asked.n
Mrs. Greenway hurried to the sexton's
and an investigation proved that the body
had been removed. The officers were noti-
fed, but all efforts to find the strange woman
proved futile.

Hardships ofthe Settlers.

KANSAS CRY, April PA special from
Guthrie, via rail TO Arkansas City, says:
Facilities for getting news away from here
are no better than two days ago. There is
little outside of incidents. The corps of sur
vcyors was yesterday increased to four, and
work was commenced in the afternoon.
Provisions continue scarce. One man yes
terday sold thirty barrels of bread at Is
cents loaf or two for 25 cents. The supply
ran out, and while the people were willing to
pay an exorbtant price, it could not be had
at all. Crackers found ready sale at 81 per
pound.
The inconvenience caused by the blockade
is beyont computation. 1t gets worse in
stead of better. Freight, express and
baggage increases with each train, and
the lack Of help prevents prompt distribu-
ton.
The water question continues to be
a serious one. Despite the fact that every
train takes out large numbers Of dissatisfied
settlers, every train brings in as many more;
so there is little change in the actual number
here
Filing continues slow. 1t has never reached
a hundred day. The order here is phe-
nominal No whisky is TO be had. The de-
mands of the people in Guthrie for railroad
service to get out are accommodating, and are
becoming so urgent that trouble is feared. A
Fe very cautious. Both engines were terri
bly, smashed up and two cars of cattle got
away and were lost in the timber land.
1t is reported that the number of settlers
in the Cherokee Strip is exaggerated. Only a
few are camping more than two days in the
place. 1t will take Captain Hayes but a
short time to clear the Strip
