WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our Erer's- cOrrespcDdens.l

ute sreecb efectnally look tne coi
or out of a lurid speech delivered
nv Senator Voorhees, in faver of 1
resolution offered by him calling
upon the Attorney General for in
formation as to whether the U. s
District Attorney at indianapolis
had acted under orders from the
Department of Justice in the matter
Of refusing to sanction the issuing
of a warrant for the arrest Of Col.
w. w. Dudley during his recent
visit to Indianapolis. Mr.. Ed
munds offered as an amendment
the following, which was adopted
"That the Attorney General be and is
hereby instructed to inform the SEN
ate what instructions, if any, the
department of Justice has given to
S.N. Chambers, district attorney
for the district Of Indiana, on the
subject Of the arrest of w. w. Dud-
lev or his exception from arrest,
and by what authority of law any
such instructions have been given,
and that copies of all such cores
pondence be transmitted to the
Senate" Mr.. Edmunds sarcastic
cally expressed his admiration
of any concurrence in the beauti-
full tribute of the Senator frem In
diana to the value Of Political mo-
,ality. This caused broad smile
all around, which was increased to
positive litter among the Repcbli-
cans when Mr.. Edmunds sent to
the clerks desk and had read
letter written by the chairman OF a
Democratic county committee in
Indiana some months before the
alleged Dudley "blocks OF five
letter, which was so nearly like
that document that Mr.. Edn unds
called it its twin brother. The res
luton adopted will bring no in
formation, simply because the At
torney General has none to give.
Mr.. Voorhees, knew this, but being
overloaded with slurs and inuen-
does against Mr.. HARRISON he took
this occasion to unload.
The Senate COMMITTEES on the
Worlds Far gave hearings to rep
rssentatives of all the cities inter-
ested i'm this work. St. Louis and
Washington have already been
heard and tomorrow Chicago and
New York will have their say.
The House bills On the subject have
been referred to the House COM
mittes on Foreign Affairs, Of which
Mr.. Hit OF Illinois ID chairman.
This looks like big advantage in
favor of Chicago, but it isn't, be-
cause the committee has practically
decided to report bill leaving the
site blank, to be filled BY vote OF
the House. That will give every
bsdy an equal show.
Judge Brewer seemed thoroughly |
at hone on the bench OF the Su-
prone Court when he took his seat
for the FIRST time Monday.
Superintendent Porter Of the
Census Bureau, says it will require
m additional appropriation OF
$3.50 zoo to add q special report Of
the present condition OF the negro
to the census, as many prominent
people have requested.
The House committee on the Sill
cstt defalcatien has completed its
report, which Is to be accompanied
by q bill appropriatiDg money to
pay the salaries of tho members.
1t IL said that the Republican
members Of the Hsuse committee
on Rules-Msssrs Reed, Mckinley
and Cannsn-xre not Of the sane
opinion regarding what rules should
be reported TO the House. | don't
believe q word of it. They know
what they are about, and it is net
likely that they want 10 take any
outsiders into their confidence just
now. They can be trusted.
Speaker Reed and Representative
Cankon, in accordance with a reese
luton of the House, went to ex-
Speaker Randall's house, and adj
