WASHING TON LETTER.


WAsHNGToN, d, G., July Is, 1890
Speaker Reed told personal
friend to-day that there was not the
slightest doubt Of the Senate's
passing the Federal Election bill,
although it might be slightly modi-
fed by amendments. As Mr.. Reed 5
sources of information are the very
best, and he il 4 man who never
goes off half-cocked, this may be
taken as authentic,
The Senate caucus has practically
agreed to change the rules govern
ing that body 40 rs to cut off debate
when a measure has been considered
for 'reasouable time" This de-
stroys the last hope that the Demo
Gratis had Of defeating the Federal
Election bill by resorting to fllibus-
tering.
The House has passed bill max
ing an appropriation for 638 add
tional clerks to handle the new APP
plicatious for pensions under the
new dependent pension law. These
clerks are necessary in order to pre-
vent long delays in issuing certlf-
Gates, and the bill was passed with
out division, although the Demo
Gratis took occasion to repeat some
of the foundationless scandals
which have recently been industri-
ously circulated by irresponsible
Democrats concerning Gen Raum
and his management Of the Pension
Office. The Republicans under the
lead of that gallant old war-horse
Representative Cannon, Of Illinois,
came to the defense in double.quick

Sunday Telegraph: 1t is said
that General Clinton B. Fiske,
whose death occurred few days
ago, had not been the man since the
last presidential election that he was
before. 1t is claimed by those who
were close to him that he was very
unhappy throughout the campaign
of 1888, because Of the attitude he
had placed himself in. He had
high regard for General Harrison
and had always been Jealous
republican up to that year, but in an
unguarded moment he had com
mltted himself in favor of the prohi-
bitlon party, and that part because
of his large bank account, had
selected him as their candidate for
President. For long time he con-
templated declining the honor, but
strong influence was brought to
bear and he accepted. 1t is said
that no one in New Jersey was
more delighted at the election of
General Harrison than Gen. Fiske
was, but at the same time he felt
that he had done himself a wrong,
wronged the party he had SO long
been member of, and that he had
done the cause of temperance an
injury by permitting himself to be
put up as an assistant to the demo-
cratic party, which he knew would
never be induced to adopt the prin-
ciples Of prohibition and make a
fight for them. The belief is ex-
pressed that if he had never been
the prohibition candidate tor Pres
ident he would be alive and well
to-day.

memory, Already bills have been
introduced in both House and SEN
ate to give his widow a pension.
His services to his country were
many and important, ahd it is as
little as Congress can do - provide
the money to make his widow indie
pendent and comfortable during the
rest of her life; she is poor, and this
should be considered a debt of hon
or which the United States Govern
ment owes the estate of her deceased
husband.
In the matter of absentees the
record was broken in the House this
week when upon one vote the enor-
nous number of l22 "pairs" were
announced. Many Of the members
have found it absolutely necessary
to 60 home, or else to give up all
hope Of being renominated.
The President promptly signed
the silver bill, which effectually, and
satisfactorily, as far as the Republi-
cans are concerned, disposes of one
Of the most important questions yet
taken up by this Congress.
The passage of the River and
IIarbor bill at the present session is
becoming more doubtful every day.
A number Of things have occurred
to bring about this condition Of
affairs, not the least of which is the
general belief that the President
would veto the bill if it was passed.
Gen. a. &. Nettleton, of Mime
sofa, has been nominated by the
President to be Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury and Prof. J. r..
Solely, United States Navy, to be
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy.
A resolution has been passed by
the Senate asking the President to
furnish it with copies of all CORES
pondence between this Government
and Great Britain relating to the
Behriug Sea fisheries, and it is said
that owing to the present extremely
tioklish condition of the negotia-
tions, the President is 10th to
make certain portions Of the CORES.
pondenee public.
The Pennsylvania Editorial Assoc
citation were here this week gather
ing inspiration and information for
future use. The President gave
them a special reception.
Senator Power has offered reso-
luton, which the Senate adopted,
calling upon the Secretary of the
Interior for information relating to
the geological survey; its employees,
their duties, compensation, etc. 1t
does no harm at any time, aud very
often does good TO have these things
made public.
If Superintendent Porter can get
the census returns ready in time,
and he says he can, it is believed
that the present Congress will, be-
fore adjournment, pass a bill max
ing the new congressional appor-
tionment under the eleventh census.
Then the House to be voted for next
November could be elected under it.
