WASHINGTON, Nov, 10, 1890.
Mr. Harrison has shut his eyes TO the re.
suits of ths recent eleetlons,an made up his
mind to urge Ia his annual message to con-
gress the passage by the senate OF the Force
bill and by the house OF the notorious ship
subsidy bills. In short, he has, In spite of
the protests of some OF The most far seeing
members OF his party Including Mr. Blaine,
determined to east his lot with the radical
wing OF the republican party. That how
ever does not mean that the Force bill Will
be passed. An Indications are against It's
passage, as Il Ia certain that more republi-
can senators would now vote against II than
would have done so u. the last session oi
congress had Il then reached n vote, Mr.
Harrison will also, It Is said, strongly en-
dorsc the Mckinley tariff &C, In his mes
sage. Democrats fear that these things
are too good TO be true. They can .hard-
y realize taat their opponents should be
willing to do so much toward democratic
success In IS9s.
There are good reasons for believing 'hat
as soon Us congress meets bills will be In
trodueed by republican senators from the
northwest, modifying or repeating sections
of the new tariff law which bear down
heavily upon the citizens of the states they
represent. It Is believed that bllle placing
binding twlne on the free list, aud reducing
the duty on ready made clothing would
receive the votes of every republican sen
a,or from ives. of the Mississippi rivef
and there Is some talk about u combination
which In return for the votes Of several re
publican senators from the eastern states
for these measures, shall repeal all duties
upon raw material. Such bills could easily
be gotten through the House as II Is a fact

Mr. Blaine is now engaged In performing

to save the morlbund old republican part.
by holding out glIttering inducements Il

have resented so effcctually by their votes
Mr. Blaine has a long head, aud his braIl
Is an active one, but &c cannot bambooxl
the American people, who know tha; rea
reciprocity with a string tied to It. pro

The treasury surplus has been reduce

Not satisfied with having served motto
upon Senator Quay that he must vacai

his position as chairman OF the republiea

the republican party that wants TO dcpos
Speaker Reed from the leadership Of III

There might be something In this
there was anybody else TO lead the rcpub

neat republican that was reelected, an
the chances are that he would have gon

not taken place before the tariff bill wen
into effect; and they will have to folio,
him or nobody.
The joint congregational committee I
investigate violations Of the Chinese Imm

Saturday. Sessions are to be held at Spo

Secretary Window finds It more diiicul
than he supposed to abrogaie or in.erfer
with the privileges enjoyed by the Canadiai
railroads, which cross sections ofthc Unite
States. When Mr. Bayard was sccretar
CT state he decided that these privilege
were protected by section in treaty be
