At last it seems likely that a oill
for the transfer OF the revenue marine
service from the treasury to the navy
department will become law, for
many years the opposition OF the sec,
retary of the treasury has prevented
congressional action, but now Mr..
Window favors it. Another import
ant transfer that may be regarded as
certain to take place during this con-
gress is that of the weather bureau
| from the war to the agricultural de-
partment.
New York, Chicago, st. Louis and
Washington have all made their
strongest arguments before the senate
committee on the Worlds Fair, and
now the committee will get down to
work. tits not thought that the COM
mittee of either house or senate will
recommend city for the location OF
the fair. 1t will be easier to settle
that question by vote of the two
houses. What they will do will be to
report bill embodying the bestp ints
of the several measures introduced
providing for the fair. The ierIiIg

rival cities has been and is the very
best. All are prepared to hurrah for
the winner and to take off their coats
and work to make it the greatest

Senator Voorhees, resolution, upon
which he made such a bombastic
speech last Wednesday, has been an
swered by the attorney general. He
denies that any instruction. written
or oral, has been given by the depart
ment of justice to District Attorney
Chalmers, Of Indiana, in reference to
the arrest of W. w. Dudley. Mr..
VOORHEES, now wants to know why Mr.
Harrison does not remove District
Attorney Chalmers if he is not in
sympathy with the recent illegal ac-
ton of that official.
The impression is growing among
Democrats that trickery is being prac
ticed by the Republican members Of
the house committee on rules. 1t has
been given out that the Republicans
OF the committee could not agree
and that was the reason for the I'm.
precedented delay in reporting the
rules which are to govern the present
house. This is now believed to have
been only a ruse to gain time. Speak.
er Reed promises that they shall Ger.
tainly be reported this week.
The war on Mr.. Harrison's nomina-
lions has not so far amounted to any,
thing. Morgan and Dorchester, com.
missioner and superintendent respect

here was apparently such big fight

Washington has an unusual GUAM.
tlty OF sickness. Opinions differ as to
whether it is caused by imagination,
cold or Ia grippe. The doctors saw its

newspapers and large proportion Of
the badly frightened population insist
that it is the latter. '''
