OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our REGULAR Correspondent.)

1
dinner by the foreign members of the
Three Americas Congress on the 18th
inst, and Secretary Proctor has ordered
a grand review of troops regular and
militai, to take place on the same date
in honor OF the foreigners. 3
Representative Flower, of New York,
who is chairman of the democratic Con-
gressional campaign committee, is suffer-
ing very much from violeat attack of
the presidential fever. He is also suffer
ing from a severe drubbing which he re-
ceived from the executive committee OF
the National Association OF democratic
climbs. Mr.. Flower attempted to side
track the committee and to keep the
clubs out of the campaign SO that he
could put himself to the front, and knife
Mr.. Cleveland or any body else that
hopoened to get in the way of his aspi-
rations. This programme did not suit
the club men and they kicked so hard
that it was upset, but Mr.. Flower is a
millionaire, and as puts up freely when
he wishes to carry a point, the fight is
not won yet.
The ne " tariff bill is being considered
by the full ways and means committee,
and will probably get before the House
some time next week. The New Eng
land people are doing some pretty givor
Gus kicking because hides have been put
on the duty list, and there is objection
to the bill from sugar and tobacco men,
but 4 hen the BIZ comes 70 be voted up
! on, it is certain that not more than
three, and possibly more than two re-
| publicans will vote against it. The bill
is made for the entire country, and nee
essariy bears down a little heavy on
some people, but about as little as would
any measure that could possibly be pre-
pared. The howl raised by certain re.
publican members just now is for the
purpose of trying to get sections OF the
bill modified, but whether they succeed
or fail these men have not the slightest
idea ofjumping out OF the party trac es
U. S. Treasur Huston is made of the
right sort of metal. Before leaving fol-
India this week, he stated that he was
going home to take an active part Ill
local election, and that he would not re-
turn until it was over. No mugwumpery
there.
The Senate has taken up the Montana
contested election cases, but no vote has
yet been taken.
The dependent pcnsion bill has beer
passed by the Senate.
Another Territory is halt way in the
Union, the House having passed the bill
for the admission of Idaho.
Superintendent Porter has dismissed
Shidy, the man of whom the Civil Serv
ice Commission secured a position in The
Census Office as payment Tor perdureo
evidence against the postmaster at Mil
waukee.
The Senate committee has not yet re
ported the World S Fair bill, and 1t is
not likely to do SO before next week.
The Senate Judiciary committee has
reported a substitute for Senator Sher
mans antitrust bill, and the House com
mittee on the Judiciary is engaged IN
considering a bill against trusts; so that
it really begins to look as If something
would be done to remove the burden Of
these conserns from the necks of the
people.
1t is said that the Morrell service pen
sion bill, which grants So a month to
all war veterans who are 81 years old
will be offered in the House as an amend
ment to the dependent pension bill.
The court of claims has decided that
