WARRINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent
.WAsHrNarON. Jan. 10, 1891

Senator Edmunds, in flve-minute
speech effectually took the color out Of
lurid speech delivered by Senator
Voorhees, in favor of resolution offered
by him calling upon the Attorney
General for information as to wheather
the U. s. District attorney at Indian
apolis has acted under orders from, the
department of Justice in the issuing Of
a warrant for the arrest of Col. W. w.
Dudley during his recent visit 10 In
dianapolis. Mr.. Edmund offered as an
amendment the following, which was
adopted: THAT the Attorney General
be and hereby is instructed to inform the
senate what instructions, if any. the de-
partment of Justice has given to 8. N.
Chambers. district attorney for the dis
| trict of Indiana, on the subject of his
arrest. and by what authority of law
any such instructions have been given,
and that copies of ali such correspon.
dence be transmitted to the senate" Mr..
Edmunds sarcastically expressed his
admiration of the concurrence in the be-
autiful tribute of the senator from Indiana
to the value of political morality. This
caused broad smile all around. which
was increased to positive litter among
the republicans when Mr.. Edmund sent
to the clerks desk and had read letter
written by the chairman of democratic
county committee in Indiana some
months before the alleged Dudley
''blocks of five" letter, which was so
nearly like that document that Mr..
Edmunds called 1t its twin brother. The
resolution adopted will bring no infor-
nation, simply because the Attorney
General has none to give. Mr.. Voorhees,
knew this. but being overloaded with
slurs and innuendoes against Mr.. HARRISON
he took this occasion to unload. He
has injured no one except hlmstlf.
The first fight in the house was easily
won by the republicans. It arose on q
question Of sustaining a ruling of tho
Speaker in favor of taking up the Dis
trict Of Columbia appropriation bill and
considering it IN committee Of the whole
under the rules of the last house apply
ing to appropriations. Mr.. Reed decided
that it could be done, and the democrats
appeal from the decision and insisted,
in series of speeches from their best
men. that the house should do nothing
until it had adopted a complete set of
rules The house voted to sustain the
| Speaker.
The senate committee on the worlds s
Fair gave thearing to representatives
of all the cities interested in this work.
St. Louis and Washington have already
been heard and tomorrow Chicago and
New York will have their say. The
house bills on the subject have been re-
ferred to the house committee on Foreign
affairs, of which Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, is
chairman. This looks like big advan
tage in favor of Chicago, but it isen',
because the committee has practically
decided to report bill leaving the site
blank to be dlle2 by vote of the house
