Especial Cor. of STATE CHRONICLE
WASHINGTON, May IA, s9O.-Interest
is still intense in regard to the kentucky
Senatorship. A distinguished journal
lst, residing here, to-day received dis
patch from Mr.. Carlisle in which he
stated that be felt confident of the cleo
ton. He thought, however, it would
be the latter part of this week before
the caucus nominated him, on account
OF the great number CT aspirants. He
had no doubt, however, of the ultimate
result. This prediction on the part of Mr..
Carlisle is entitled to unusual credence.
He is never cVer-sanguine and seldom
makes a prophecy which is not fulfilled,
especially as regards himself.
To-day Hon. Thomas G. Skinner Sc
cured the promise Of the Committee on
Public Buildings to favorably report his
bill appropriating $4,000 for the erec-
ton OF a public building at Elizabeth
City. There was considerable opposition
to the bill but Mr.. Skinner had sufficient
tact and influerce 70 overcome it. Sew
eral members of the committee urged
that tie place was too small to justify
such an expenditure Mr.. Skinner, how
ever, convinced them TO the contrary.
Senator Edmunds' bill to appropriate
money enough to establish a national
direction. One clause in Senator Ed
munds' bill, however, which admits all
races will render it impracticable. Wash
ington is rapidly becoming a university
town but it will be impossible to make a
mixed school a success. The Catholic
University IS rapidly approaching com
pletion and so far, the buildings are
models Of architectural beauty and con-
venience. The site for the Methodist
University has been purchased in most
eligible location. A great deal Of mon
ey ias already been contributed and
Bishop Hurst IS pushing it with a great
deal OF energy. There are two flourish
ing negro COLLEGES here which need ali
tNe supper the negro race can give
hem. %, If we aro to have 81 national
university lot il DO for the most ambi-
| tious class of the white men in the Re-
public only
Mrs Thomas 4. Hendricks is in the
city at Wizards. She is looking very
we'll and has not changed much since he1
husband was here in the Senate.
It is believed here that Judge Poole
and Oliver Dockery will soon visit their
home in North Carolina. Judge Poole
will probably remain permanently. He
does not like the climate or the expense
Of living in Rio Janeiro. Oliver Dock
cry, who is acting minister, has the same
objection to Rio, but did not resign, as
Judge Poole did, before he left Brazil.
Claudius Dockery is temporarily filling
the place made vacant by the resigna-
ton Of Judge Poole. The official papers
confirming this report had not been re-
ceived up to date at the State Depart.
ment, but there is very little room to
doubt its correctness.
Mr.. Brewer says an election bill OF
some sort will certainly pass this Con.
gress He does not think the Lodge bill
will be popular because it favors the
Australian ballot system. Something
like the Rowell bill is more nearly il
accord with his idea OF what an election
bill ought to be.
In spite Of statement to the con
trary, Mr. Coleman, Of Louisiana, is tht
only Republican member of the House
Of Representatives who will dare tx
break the party ranks and refuse to vot'
for the Mckinley tariff bill The other
will be whipped in.
