SENATOR QUAY
Believes that Republication in Penn- sylvania is Unshaken.--Wyoming will be Placed on the Flag next Fourth of July and Make the 44th Star.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10, 1890.
 Senator Quay, who returned from Pennsylvania, said to-day: "Yes, the democrats are claiming great deal in Pennsylvania this year but they will bs wofully disappointed when the returns are all in. My confidence in republicans is unshaken; it is founded on rock, and when you have sand in addition 10 the necessary rock you are pretty we'll fixed and that is just the condition of the re- publican party of Pennsylvania" That was a pretty long speech for Mr. Quay to make to newspaper man.
 There is not a word of truth in the statements made in democratic papers that the republican senators had made bargain with the democrats by which the Federal Election bill was to be i shelved for the season in return foI democratic promises of not obstructing or delaying the message of the Mckinley 1 tariff bill. No such bargain has been made, and no such bargain will be made The republicans have large majority in the senate, and to intimate that they should allow the minority to dictate what should, or should not be done by that body is simply to insult some of the brainlest members of the republican party. The tariff bill will certainly pass before adjournment, but no deter mination has yet been reached upon the Federal Election bill. It is thought another republican caucus will be called before it is finally decided what shall be done with 1t. One was held last night and several senators who had been ere dited as opposing it stated that they favored 1t.
 The silver bill reported from the con ference, and which is certain to become a las, like all other compromise meas ures fails to please the extreme gold standard men, or the free kcoinage silver men, but 1t seems to suit the average man pretty well. It provides for the purchase of 4,500,O00 ounces of silver each month, which is said to be slightly Tn excess of the entire output of all the mines in the United States.
 Notwithstanding the extreme warm weather, the President, since his return from Cape May PoiHt Tuesday afternoon has been working like beaver.
 After many delays Wyoming is state, although the forty fourth star will not be placed on the flag until the fourth of next July.
 The senate by majority of three, re fused to open the debate on the tariff bill this week. Five republicans voting with the democrats in this, because they were opposed to taking up the tariff bill until the silver question had been final ly disposed of.
 Representative Perkins of Kansas has introduced bill in the house to estab fish public schools in the territory of New Mexico.
 The house committee on Invalid pen sions has made a favorable report on the bill to pension army nurses. The bill only affects about 900 women, and it seems but tardy justice that these wo- men many of whom are destitute and in bad health, should be provided for by the Government for the rest of their lives.
 There is an ugly report floating around here to the effect that representatives Hooker and Catchings, sitting members from Mississippi had retained their seats by obtaining the influence of eX- Senator Bruce, and Auditor Lynch, two Mississippi colored men now in office here. This may or may not be true, but certain it Is that the house commit tee on Elections has made a report against the republican contestants of Messrs Hooker and Catchings' seats.
 More than one hundred members of the House are absent from the city, and Speaker Reed has the hardest kind of time to keep quorum present, in fact he doesn't do 1t; the unimportant busi- ness is allowed to go through without having the question of mo quorum" raised and when anything of importance is to be acted upon the members are drummed up until there is a quorum present.
 The "Original Package" bill was ac- cording to the programme of the com mittee on Rules, to have been disposed of by the house this week, but the house got contrary and refused to adopt the resolution submitted to 1t by the com mittee on rules. This is the first time this session that the house has refused to follow the programme adopted by that committee.
 Chairman Belden of the Republican Congressional campaign committee has sent an appeal to the republican editors of the country asking their aid Tn arous- ing public sentiment to the necessity of a Federal Election law.
 The house has passed a bill contain ing the regulations adopted by the re- cent International maritime conference to prevent collisions at sea.
