IRON Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, December i5.-The force
bill still hangs in the balance, and its fate
g. 80 uncertain that the Radicals like Hoar.
Spooner and Chandler are dreadfully
worked up. The President is likewise as
mad as March hare. He cannot under
stand why the Republicans in the Senate
do not madly rush 10 the support of his
policy andpsss the infamous measure, even
II the only deliberative body under the
Capitol has 20 be bucked and gagged by
initiating Gear" Reed. The President
may not be aware of the fact. but he has
done more within. few days 70 help
90 put the odIous measure in its coffin than
oil the other agencies combined. Under
the impulse Of the moment the President
IN talking 20 some of the Republican sena-
tors said that il the force bill ,wes not
passed he would decline TO be a candidate
Tor reelection. He said also TO the same
Nopubican, so common report has II, that
IL Tins bill was not enacted into law IL
would he useless for any Republican TO
run for the presidency in 1892.
SENATORIAL cHucKLISo.
This sort Of talk has caused big
chuckle IN senatorial circles. for most OF
tlo Republicans IN the upper branch OF
Congress take very little stock In BenJa-
uiu Harrison. and II they could have
b written guarantee that he would not
attempt 10 press his denomination upon
She party in 1892 they would take pains TO
defeat the force bill al once.
There was an episode at the White House
this morning which was decidedly breezy,
and the points are highly interesting
Congressman Niedringhaus (Republican),
~ S. Louis, returned to the city yester-
day for the first time this session. Mr..
Nedrughaus - q millionaire manufactu-
r4r, and has been a pretty intense party
man. He will not be member Of the
neKt House. having declined to run sgain.
LEGISLATION NEEDED.
Mr.. Niedringhaus has been talking with
the businessmen Of st. Louis. and he finds
% strong sentiment, regardless of politics.
for immediate financial legislation by Con-
gress. so that the stringency OF the money
market NAV be relieved. Mr.. Eiedring-
laus il going 10 remain here until after the
holidays. This morning he went to the
White House 10 talk with President liar =
ION. He told tho latter that he came on
behalf OF many of the leading business
men Of So. Louis. aud irrespective OF party
obey thought that something must be done
t. relieve the pressure upon the mon ey
market "The business men Of 81. LOUIS
dhe Congressman added, are Of the
hpinion that there is no necessity for the
uassage Of the election bill. and nobody
would be sorry If that measure were TO be
laid aside TO allow financial questions to be
considered"
HARRISON YLAREs UP.
Our little President tlared mp terribly
AZ this remark. He swelled his chest
ont. and putting up his checks, looked
AZ his German American fellow citizen
from st. Louis and said with some
Indignation. 1T is a question, Mr.. Med
riuphaus. whether human life and liberty
should be put below manufacturers prohts
and bankers interests"
Then the little President contracted his
chest an inch or so, smoothed down ms
ufied features. and took glance AT Mr..
Nielringhaus 20 see II the Congressman
had been crushed. But he wasn't. Inc
n. Louis man was smiling. and he. Kept
Il egging away az the Executive trying to
Fmpre.s him with the idea that the Anglo,
4Saxon business interests OF this great ana
Notorious country were Of more Importance
) han the African Just at present.
AN ALLEGED REASON.
They are telling a story here 20 the
,Tect that Sir. John Russell Young has had
- sever his connection with the New io rh
Y.ldd because he gave dinner recently 10
General Roger AiPryoT.
10 seems that when, IN 1860. General
IFkNf
. pluia ne made "A butter speech against the
4 lder Bennett. MIR. Young was drawing
1arge salary as an editorial writer on the
t1dd.
7 The debate on the apportionment bill IN
The House to-day was lively. Strange to
cav. more If the Republicans are opposed
10 the bill than Democrats. The hepuph-
cans do not think there Is enough partlsa,,
advantage in the measure as they mlgh'
have If the thing were properly mahipu-
lated.
wHTTH-oAK RIVER.
The Chief Of Engineers sent 20 Congress
TO-DAY "A communication regarding the pre-
ImInarv examination of White-Oak river,
in North Carolina. from Roberts's landing
10 Collinss Crossing. That portion OF the
river is regarded as worthy OF improve
mcnt, and the engineers recommend that
when the next appropriations are msde
1850 be allotted 20 the Whte-OAh'
ME engineer who made the examina-
ION reports that steamboats,. If the inn
movements are made, will be able to go
from the mouth Of the river upward TWEEN
tv-uine miles 10 near Sabiston's bridge
and thence for flat-bOats twentv-one miles
turtber TO Collins's Crossing. For advanta-
loous work, the engineer asks the amount
