the cabinet and be elected president o
the International American Bank, tha
is TO be organized under the provision
of bill row before congress, whicl
has been specially commended by Mr
Harrison in a special message to con
gress. As the new bank is to have ;
capitpl of twenty five million with th'
privilege of increasing it to fifty mill
ions, its president will undoubtedly oc
cupy powerful and enviable position
in the financial world, but your CORE
spondent does not believe that Mr.
Blaine would accept the position, even
conceding that he could get it, which
is By no means certain. Mr.. Blaine is
by nature, habit and education politi-
clan. and he will never get cut of poll
tics until he dies.
There was seemingly good deal Of
friction among the republicans in the
senate when the Mckinley bill first
reached that body, but now that the e
nance committee have got down to
work on tie bill it seems
to have disappeared, and up to the
present time no material changes have
been made by the committee which is
now going over the bill. There are
still rumors of great dissatisfaction,
some of them going so far as to say
that republicans will introduce a sub
stitute for the bill reported by the com
mittee, If certain changes which they
want are not made, and others that
Senator Allison is preparing speech
against the bill, and protective tariff
generally. All such stories must be
taken with allowance. 1t will be, to
some extent, changed, no doubt, but
that the changes will be sufficient to
affect the character of the bill your
correspondent does not believe.
Another secret meeting Of the re-
publican national committee was held
at Senator Quay's residence here last
night. Nothing has been officially CIV
en- cut except the election of Powell
Clayton, Of Arkansas, and u B. Scott
of West Virginia, to be additional mem
bers, and the election of III. e. PAYNE,
of Wisconsin, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Col. Goodloe, of Ken
tucky, and the adoption of a resolution
concerning the death of the latter. But
there is leak somewhere and 1t is
known that the committee had a some
what stormy discussion over the pro-
posed enactment Of federal election
law by congress, Mr.. Quay leading the
opposition and Clarkson those favor
ingit. A bare majority voted with Mr..
Quay against federal election law.
The financial condition of the national
committee was also discussed, and a
number of suggestions made for rails
ing some money. The committee also
instructed senator Quay to ask the f
nance committee of the senate to make
several chrnges IN the tariff bill which
are asked for the by the New England
manufacturers.
Congress, after its three days holi-
day, began to grind again to day. 1t s
members ali had that we We had -holi
day look familiar to every schoolmaster
and schoolmistress throughout the land,
as they took their respective seats. In
the senate, the bill to place all port
ed liquors under the control of the sew
eral state laws having been passed, the
Jones silver bill was brought ur, and
its friends say it will stay up until dis
posed Of. In the house, the river and
harbor bill having been passed, there
was good natured rivalry between
chairmen Of committees as to what
should be taken up, which resulted in
not much of anything being done.
Senator Stewart paid his respects to
Major Powell of the Geological Survey,
On the floor of the senate in a FIVE min
ute speech in which he said Maj. Pow
ell had enormous power in congress be-
cause he gave employment to a lot of
young men, sons and relatives of con-
gress, and that he kept an enormous
lobby In Washington to control the act
ion of congress. This vast bureau of
geology and mineralogy is nothing
concluded the senator, .'but mass of
hambug and foolishness-a lying in
hospital for lame ducks Mr.. Stew
arts language was little rough, but
it contains good deal Of truth. 1t is
a well known fact here that all the DO
sitions under the geological survey are
soft snaps, both on account of the ib-
eral salaries paid and the small amount
of real work required.
Since Speaker Reed stepped the sale
of liquors by the drink in the house
restaurant, the senate restaurant is 40

line. As soon as Mr.. Morton returns
an effort is to te made to have him is
