Secretary Window is preparing,
at the request Of the President, a
comprehensive statement of the
amount of revenue derived from
the importation of sugar by the
Government. 1t is generally
understood that this statement is
to be used as the basis of a special
message which the President
proposes to send to Congress,
giving his ideas of what amend
ments the Senate should adopt to
the tariff bill. There is a doubt
as to whether the President will
advise the adoption of reciprocity
outright, as advised by Mr.. Blaine,
Or some sort of compromise, The
probabilities are strongly in favor
of his taking the latter course.

Senator Frye has received
another letter favoring reciprocity
from Secretary Blaine, and that
together with the correspondence
in the Behring Sea negotiations,
has caused Mr.. Blaine to be the
most talked about man in the
United States. Mr.. Blaine is very
much in earnest about reciprocity,
and calls attention to the fact that
as long ago as February he made
a statement to the republican
members of the House committee
on Ways and Means urging them
to consider reciprocity in making
up the new tariff bill. With one

Kenna of California-the republic
an members of that committee

McKenna says that he has from
the first favored Mr.. Blaine's ideas.

The committee on Rules,
reported, and the House adopted
resolution instructing the
committee on Pensions to investi-
gate the charges which Represen-
tative Cooper of Indiana, recently
made on the floor Of the House
against Gen. Raun1, Commissioner
Of Pensions. The committee in its
report stated that all of the
essential statements Of Mr.. Cooper
are hearsay, and his conclusions
conjectural, and that they did not
know whether they are true or
false; but, continues the report,
whether true or false your
committee believes that an invest
igation should be had to the end
that the truth may be ascertained;
the public service must not even
rest under a suspicion, and the
character of public officials must
be so clean and their administration
so honorable and straightforward
as to command the public conf
dence and withstand the most
careful scrutiny. Every public
official should invite the most
careful investigation of his public
and official acts, and your
committee believes that Gen. Raum,
whose public and private character
has been heretofore without faint
or suspicion, will gladly promote
the investigation" Gen. Raum is
very much pleased with the action
of the committee, and of the
House. He refused to dignity the
charges by officially asking for an
investigation; but he has not
hesitated to say privately to
members of the committee that he
wished for it.

FAR distant when mothers will consider the real
