A Dispatch from Washington to the Pail

Kinley and Aidrich st the White House last
night and conferred with them about the
reciI rocity question as affected by the coz
ference win Blaine at Cape May Point,
which they had induced Harrison to hold.
Harrison made full report of the inter.
views between himself and Blaine, anc gave
the conclusions resebed as far Is any dei-
mite conclusions we're reached. IL was oltii-
cult last night TO get either their concu-
sions or the programme to be followed IN
Congress but there Is good reason to he
lieve that Harrison brought Blaine to see
that the personal interests, to say nothing
Of their party interests, demanded an az
pearance Of harmony at least, and that
Blaine, satisfied with stirring up the couL-
try, expressed his Willingness to compro-
miss on form of reciprocity like that. sng-
gested by Aldrich, giving I he President dis
cretionary power ever dulles which may
mean anything or nothing
This would CRAFTY the demand which
Blaine had stirred up for reciprocity and at
the same time would not seriously atlaot the
Mckinley bill. 1t does not appear ss yet
whether Harrison is to press the propcsi-
ton In special message or Blaine in d let
| ter or interview. or whether both vehicles
are to be used. The one thing which doe 8
appear olearlys that Harrison succeeded in
forcing B aiue to a truce, however tempo
| rary, which would give the republican mar
ayers chance to catch their breath.
Reed, BsIdsn aud Clarkson were also CAL
ed into consultation st the White House
last night. They discussed not only reci-
procity, but the Force bill aud the condi-
ton of the repu bican Congressional commit
tee, which is not satisfactory to Harrison.
Harrison aud the rest urged Clarkson to
take the Secretaryship of the Congressional
committee, but he declined. They are
agreed to press the Force bill on Senators.

to In favor of the proposed reduction. They
have not yet been allowed hearing by the
whole committee and ell the indications are
that their request will not be granted.
President Harrison in the course of con-
versation With republican congressman
this morning expressed his ardent hope that
the Force bill would be passed before the
close of the session and said every rspubii
can member Of Congress should do his ut
most to have 1t passed, for the safety and
welfare Of the party. Mr.. Clarkson, who
still continues to draw the salary Of Assist

will take no part In next falls campaign
unless the Force bill be passed. Clarkeon is
a member OF the national republican com

are opposed to the bill, prevent its passage
and Clsrkson shall do as he threatens. the
election of 1890 will certainly be falrer
