WASHINGTON LETTER.
Regular Correspondent.


WAsHINGToN, Sep. 15, 1890.
Senator Carlisle thinks there is
great danger of financial panic if
the republicans persist IN allowing
the amendment to the tariff bill,
which provides for the removal Of
all imported goods from the Gov
ernmcnt bonded warehouses before
October /, to stand. lie SAYS"
went to Senator Aldrich and beg
gcd him to withdraw the amend
ment, but he refused. The amend
ment was adopted because the re-
pubublicans wish to punish the inn
porters Of the country FOR their OPP
position to the tariff bill. We shall
fight the amendment in conference
and try to avoid the crash which
threatens the money market" Sen
ator Vance was equally emphatic in
condeming the amendment. He
said: hardly see how a crash can
be aveTted, and when it comes the
country will have q practical illus
tratlon Of some OF the iniquities of
this tariff bill. We shall endeayor
to avert disastrous results i'm the
conference committee, but ! fear
that we shall not be allowed to ac-
complish anything. The republic
cans seemed determined TO be un-
just, even if it brings on financial
panic. We can only protest.
The tariff bill is going through
the form Of being considered by the
House Ways and Means committee,
but that committee will do nothing
but recomend on-concurrcnce in
the Senate amendments, leaving
the fight TO take place in the con-
ference committee. The present
intention Is to gag the house by the
passage Of resolution introduced
by Mr.. Mckinley, Saturday to pre-
vent consideration Of voting upon
any Of the Senate amendments by
the House sitting as a committee Of
the whole This action has been
taken under Boss Reeds orders. lie
knows that there arc number Of
republicans in the house who would
gladly vote with the democrats II
they could get a chance, on several
Of the Senate amendments.
The Louisiana delegation made
a strong protest before the Ways and
Means committee ag tinst the date
March l., 1891, set FOR the sugar
schedule to go into effect. They
showed the committee that it meant
ruin for the sugar planters TO be
compelled to sell their crop for com
ing year in market brought down
BY free foreign sugar, and asked

still 1t must not be understood as
being at one side OF Ito
city. On the contrary the city ex-
tends eleven miles still farther south
on the lake shore, so that the Ex-
position will be located, geograph-
ically speaking, near the center of
the city.
The grounds contain over COO
acres, which will afford ample room
for the numerous EXHIBITS. How
ever, from the present outlook it
will all be utilized. The Horticul-
turists alone propose to enclose one
hundred acres under one vast glass
dome. Hero will bo seen growing
in their natural state every plant
and vegetable known to civilized
man. Also, it is proposed to secure
for the Exposition Historical Ex-
hibit of tho race dcvelopomeut, and
progress of the South Amer can
countries. In this department
special effort Will be maie TO tho
reproduction of the habits, GUS
toms, buildings aud other principal
features of tho aboriginies OF the
Southern Continent. This novel
and instructive feature OF tho Ex-
position will certainly prove to be
more than inter esting, and worthy
the study of the greatest scholars
and scientists. The proposed min
ing and mineral exhibits, for which
it is intended to open mines 900
feet under ground, aud IN which
will be placed tho. different kind
of ores, will also form an attractive
feature. Hero the different pre-
cesscs of mining, washing. smelling
viii be daily performed by skilled
workmen. This will afford an on
portunity to learn what tits to live
underground, away from the broils
OF society, and to study the monot-
onous life and toll of the duslsy
miner. Besides these there arc
several other vast undertakings too
extensive to be described in this let
ter. Since the great enterprise has
now gotten rightly under way, we
will, in our weekly letter describe
the most attractive and important
features as they arc being planned
and constructed.
Adjacent to the site are wash
ington and South Parks, compri-
sing in all about six hundred acres.
This ground is about ali laid out
outin walks and drives and decora-
ted with flowers and shade trees.
This will be most convenient and
desirable breathing place
for the heated multitude. Here
they can retire from the clamoring
crowd and walk in the cool of the
shade and breathe the pure air, la
den with the perfume or leaves and
flowers. In all its ideal site for the
Worl's Columbian Exposition which
is destined to out-rival i'm extent
and grandeur, all enterprises in the
history Of man. It's date will mark
an epoch in our Nations history.
1t will afford the nations of the
earth an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with our vast country and
to realize the superiority OF our ma
tional institutions. Enthusod by
our present success, it will be an in
centiycto to our people to push on and
to accomplish still greater results
than those which have given us the
first place among the nations Of the
earth.

elther that the time be extended 20
July /, or that the change go into
effect Immediately. They got no
satisfaction from the committee.
The republicans are suspiciously
quiet about the proposed extra sess-
ion, and there is n difference of
opinion regarding it among them.
They all want the extra session. but
lots of them want Mr.. Harrison to
assume the responsibility by calling
an extra session, while he, and the
members of his cabinet insist that
Congress should take the respon-
sibllity by taking n recess to Novem-
Der 10. The object of them all is
the same, the passage of the obnox-
ious force bill.
Theapportionment bill which has
been introduced by Representative
Dunnell Ia as partisan measure as
was ever before Congress. 1t is in
tended to keep the republican party
in power for the next ten years. 1t
was prepared by Robert p. Porter,
the naturalized Englishman at the
head of the census bureau and its
passage would be as gross an inius-
tice as the republican party in all
its history has ever perpctrated.
The facts about the Reed cam
paign arc gradually leaking out.
1t is now certain that the protected
manufacturers had the "fat fried"
out OF them to the extent of at least
$4,000 to elect Boss Reed, who
did so much for them in railroad
ing Jug handled tariff bill through
the House. No wonder the repub.
licans say that money was used in
Maine, and yet, Reed got small Ter
vote than he did in 1876 or 'S8.
The success Of the democrats i'm
preventing the seating of two negro
contestants in the house last week
by breaking quorum has caused
many democrats to ask why the
same tactics were not adopted at
the beginning of the session in or
der to have prevented the adoption
OF Reeds Rules. ] am in position
TO answer that question. The idea
Of breaking quorum by absentlng
tn homselvcs from the house was
largely favored by the democrats,
and would have undoubtedly been
adopted by them, but for the fact
that Mr.. Carlisle then member Of
the House and the recognized dem
ocratic leader, and the late Samuel
J. Randall, then on his death bed,
advised against it.
Congress was BETTER employed
on Saturday than it has been for
some time past. In the Senate
eulogies were delivered on the late
S. j. Randall, and in the House on
Senator Beck.
There was big row in the Re-
publican House caucus Saturday
night. Representative Payson led
a revolt against Reed and McKin-
ley's gag resolution, but the rebles
humbly tucked their tails between
their legs and accepted the inevit-
able after Speaker Reed got up and
thundercd his orders for indorse-
ment OF the resolution. Reed is
greater than his party, and his will
is obeyed without question, or the
rebellious subject is relegated to
the rear.

A March Against Time.

The great and growing west cas-
lily knocks the east out every time
when it comes TO hustling in bust
ness or even in courtship and mat
rimony as witness the following
from Burnside, Michigan.
Lewis Clam and Albert Butler we're
both courting pretty young widow.
Up to a few days ago it has been
pretty much Of q stand off rs to who
was the best man and the widow
could not decide herself which Of
the men she wanted. Clam was the
first TO offer his heart and hand and
and be accepted by this Mormon
like widow. lie had no sooner left
the lady than Butler arrived pur-
posed and was accepted. Now be-
gan most lively race for q wife.
Both men procured marriage license
and each mounted a horse started
with a preacher for the widows
house, where Clam arrived ten min
utcs ahead Of bis rival and the Wild
ow is now Mrs. Clam. The Bard
