WASHINGTON LETTER,
From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent.
 Washington, Jan. 18th, 1889.
 The House of Representatives has wrestled with the Omnibus Te-- ritorial bill for several days mostly in a decent and orderly manner. Mir. Springer aud Mir. Cox were heari at length, after which the several delegates from the Terri tories were given a chance. The result was that the Congressional Record of the following morning looked like the advertising sheet of a Western real estate agency. It was one of the most thrilling num- bers Yet issued by that able journal and should be read by all admirers of painstaking and artistic liars. It is expected that as the bill stands, the Democrats not being united in its favor on the question of the division of Dakota, the proposed legislation will die inconference. Still the admirable energy displayed by the people of Dakota, and the large delegations of representative men of both parties sent here by the statehood meetings to urge di- vision, may turn the tide of battle.
 The contest in the House this week may seriously affect the fight for the Speakership of the next House. In the debate over the report of the Committees on rules two candidates, Reed and Cannon, were skillfully placed on the defen- sive by the friends of Mckinley and Burrows, and they succeeded in leaving Reed and Cannon to vote with the Democrats. The defeat if it may be called such, was of course more defeat of Reed, whose leadership Is avowed, than of Can non. Reeds anger was plain to be seen. General Henderson is anoth. CT mad candidate for the Speaker ship. He says that the published report that his candidacy is only 2 s,Ibtortuss in Canaon's interests IS a black ie.

cc.Srs DIVISION.

As the legislature is now in work ing order We look for the intro duction at an early day of 6 bill for the segregation of Yavapai county. A bill was introduced in the four teenth legislature having in view the same object, and passed the house by a vote of l5 to 8, bat was defeated in the council by a tie vote, 6 to 6, which showed on its face that it was popular measure amongst the legislators of that body. The writer was personally present during the greater portion of the session, and knows with what zeal and how hard and faithfully the father of the bill, Hon. W. H. AsL- urst, worked in the interest of his constituents, to accomplish its pas sage. Too much credit cannot be given to Thomas F. MoMillan, who tried in every honorable way to help out the desires of the tax-pay- CTS in the proposed new county.
 Through Tn1 Urvsrvn1r of sc-,- tleman Q in the council, whose name shall be silent here, for the present, the bill was defeated.
 There are three gentlemen, mem- bers of the assembly who are resi- dents in the proposed new county, Messrs. Rhodes, Rodgers and Thorn ton, and to them the people look to to use every just and honorable means to further the passage of the bill creating new county.
 The tax payers, almost to unit, who live within the boundries pro- posed, are in for 8 division, and they ask it from the present legis- lature as matter of justice, fair ness and equity and it sho uld be granted to them.
 As now situated, people have to travel as far as hundred and fifty | and some even two hundred miles to reach the county seat, in order to attend the courts and transact other | business that they may have there. There are many more reasons that might be given why new county should be granted. As well might ! father deny to his son permission to seek his own livelihood after he becomes of age and leaves the pa- 5ernal roof, as for the people who i've Tn the southern and western portion of the county to oppose his bill.
 We have no fear that bill prop 'rly drawn up, with the boundries 10 described that members may see he fairness of the proposed measure, put 1t will meet with hearty ap- oroval and irdorsement of a major ty of the honorable gentlemen com posing the fifteenth legislature, and hat it will become a law.
 We ask, gentlemen of the sevaral to look at this matter care ully, ana fearlessly, and then grant o our people what the will readily perceive is one of the most just and equitable measures ever asked by he tax payers of Arizona.

SENATOR GoRMAN says the Mills bill killed the Democratic party, and, on that account, he is opposed to any further dallying with the free traders.

Voorhees, to the stand.-Globe Democrat.

LET us have thebill for the new county, introduced at once, Messrs. Assemblymen. It will stand the most searching scrutiny and dem- onstrate to members of other coun- ties that it is fair, impartial, just and equitable measure and one which will commend itself to all fair minded Legislators.

This might be attributed to the fact that the cleo tion Is over were it not for the duty on rice retained by the Mills bill.

WE know personally of several gentlemen, who expressed them selves in the presence of the writer, and who hold official positions in the county that they had no objection to county division. We hope that they will not use their position or influence against the proposed bill.

al Swain, how suspended from the
 office of Judge Advocate Genera,
 before retiring board. The or
 der involves the remission of the
 sentence of the former court mar
 tial and a cleaning of Swaim's re-
 cord. His sentence of suspension
 for twelve years would expire July,
 1896. Retirement in his case
 would not, however, involve a win
 dication of his honor. General
 Swain was regularly convicted,
 though his punishment was mild.
 General Blacks friends are vigor-
 ously pushing his claims to succeed
 Swain. The only objection urged
 against him is that his physical
 disability, as established when his
 large pension was granted, would
 necessitate his retirement in two or
 three years at most But General
 Blacks friends claim that three Re
 publican Senators will vote for his
 confirmation. There is an element
 of danger in the case. There are
 not lacking Republican Senators
 who long to investigate the Pension
 Office and score Commissioner
 Black. His nomination would af. ford the opportunity.
 The election of Anthony Higgins as s'e"~t-r--f-o-a- Delaware is welcomed with enthusiasm by the Republicans and with personal sat isfaction by such Democrats as know him best. In the midst of the shouting, full praise is giAen to Senator Quay, whose letter to the Delaware Republican, who seemed but week ago involved in | des- tructive fight, brought about a speedy settlement of all difficulties. Blessed is the peace-maker. Lucky is Mir. Higgins. Two years ago the leader of a Congressional forlorn hope. a politician hopelessly in the in a vest pocket owned by the Bayards and their kin, he is suddenly thrown on the crested wave of victory.
 On Thursday the 183rd, anniver- sary of the birth of Benjamin Frank lin found the monument erected to his memory by MT. Stilson Hutchi- ins in front of the Post newspaper office, still awaiting unveiling. It appears that Mir. Hutchins has been for sometime involved in a joint debate with the sculptor, warfare that became aggressive when the sculptor placed his name as artist upon the base in letters five inches high. Mir. Hutchins as an old newspaper man didn't intend to give Mr. Soul ptor a five inch ad- forever free, so in the dark watches of the night he had the name cut off It is to be re- yretted that life time and tide the anniversary of B. Franklin's birth waits for no man.
 Three large excursions went to this week to Edwin Booths performance. The fact that MT. Booth never comes to Washington is so decided "chest- nut" that I must apologize for mentioning it. I am lel to recall t by the fact that Tuesday night was the anniversary of the night he le left Washington, several years sfter the assassination, with the 1ones of his misguided brother who killed President Lincoln. What might have come to him, .ven through the lines of Shylock, IS he looked upon the Washington contingent that his VOW of that ;earful night had compelled to come o him, opens vista of speculation.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
seAmos swears That Pigott Says Attempts
Were Made to Bride Him to Ac-
knowledge the Forgeries.

LONDON, Feb i6.-Mr. ParneIl was present
at the sitting Of the ParneIl commission. Mr..
Soames, counsel for The Times, submitted
schedule Of all the signatures of the Irish
leader in his possession. He said that Mr.
Parneli's writing varied considerably In
one Of the letters submitted Mr. Parnell's
name is written six different ways.
Mr.. soames said that Richard Pigott had
made a statutory declaration that Solicitor
Lewis, Of the Parnellite counsel, had offered
him 9l 900 if he would swear that he had
forged the letters printed in The Times at
tributed TO Mr. Parnel
The croSS-examination of Mr.. Soames was
| continued He said that Pigott related to
him various interviews he had had with So
licitor Lewis and Mr.. Labouchere. He said
that the latter had sent Pigott several $40
notes. Pigott's statutory declaration detailed
all the communications he had had with So
licitor Lewis, including the offer of 81 900
from Mr.. Labouchere if he would swear that
the Parnell letters were forged. This latter
statement caused great sensation in the court
room.
The witness then stated that a man whom
he knew to be an emissary of Egan's went to
Mr.. Labouchere and offered to give evidence
favorable to Mr.. Parnell. Mr.. Soames had
this man watched, and found that at Mr..
| Laboucheres instance the man was sent to
Dublin to see Pigott He traced Egan's
! emissary from I.aboucheres to Pigott Then
he traced PIgott, Solicitor Lewis and Mr..
| Parnell TO Mr. Labouchere's house. The Egan
emissary, Mr. Soames said. was the same man
who deluded Moser with the alleged letters of
Mr.. Parnell's, which were admitted to be for
geries.
! NEW YORK, Feb. 16-A special cablegram
to a local paper from London says: Especial
and exclusive information enables me to
state that the Parnel letters were offered to
another journalist three months before The
Times purchased them. He refused them, re-
garding them as trumped up. A thousand
pounds was asked.
"a gentleman connected with the Irish
Loyal Patriotic union was then approached.
He advanced the money for their purchase
by Houston from Pigott, Houston reselling
them afterwards to The Times, which got the
letters in November, and paid for them the
following May
''The Parnellite counsel will suggest that
Pigott forged them partly for moneys sake
and partly to pay off old grudges against
: PaTnell.

alleged one have been enlarged 10y photog-

they show remarkable differences, the alleged
one being wavcring, crooked and curved, and

lie Calls the Senate TO Account for
Proposing a Tariff Measure.
RANDALL GAINS A POINT.
The Appropriations Committee Authorizes
Him to Report a BIN Providing for
the Entire Repeal OF the Tobacco
Tax Whenever He Sees Fit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--In the house the
Mills tariff bin with senate amendment was
reported back from the COMMITTEES ON ways
and means by Mr. Mills. 1t was referred to
the committee Of tho whole
Mr. Mills also reported resolution, the
consideration Of which, be said, he would ask
the house TO enter upon Tuesday. The reso-
luton declares that the substitution by the
senate, under the form of an amendment for
the bin of the house lthe Mills bin, Of another
and different bill containing a general revi-
sion Of the laws imposing import duties and
internal taxes is in conflict with the constitu-
ton, and that the bill be returned to the sem
ate with a suggestion that under the constitu-
ton the house is vested with the sole power to
originate such a measure
Dir. Mckinley, Of Ohio, said that he re-
served the right of the minority to file its
views ON the constitutional objection.
The committee ON appropriations has COM
pleted consideration of the Cowles bill and
has authorized Mr. Randall to report il to the
house whenever he sees fit. The vote was o
to4. Those in the affirmative were Randall,
Clement, Felix Campbell, Gay and the five
Republicans. Those in the negative were
Foran, Sayers, Rice and Forney, all Demo-
Gratis.
The bin, as authorized to be reported, is not
exactly the Cowles bill, but one OF broader
scope, prepared by Mr.. Randall and in
GLIDING the total repeal of the tobacco taxes
1t would reduce the revenues by about $780,
090,0O0. The bill will come up for discussion
before the end of this session.
Says prominent congressman:
'.Fhe bills fate is doubtful Should it pass
both houses before the close of the session and
receive the approval of the president, it would
largely obviate the necessity for an extra ses-
sion. But the Republican leaders have about
made up their minds that an extra session
must be held, and with that conviction they
would prefer that the next congress should
get the credit OF any revenue reduction. The
probabilities are all against the bills enact
ment at this session."
The house has, by a vote of 40 to l01, sent
back to conference with instructions the Da-
kota bill.
The house has passed the senate bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the protection of Amer
lean interests in Panama.
