WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Men. 20, 1891,

w ACtllN1lSN8 AZ CAA' 49, 49,
Mr.. Blaine made such bad
break in the telegram which Baron
Fava, the Italian minister, stampeded
him into sending to Governor Mich
OILS, of Louisiana, in relation to the
unfortunate lynching bee at New
Orleans, that as soon as he realized
his error, he took to his room and 1t
was given out that he was unwell,
and he has been invisible to callers
ever since. Members of the diplo-
matte corps say that Mr.. Blame s
telegram will give the Italian gov
eminent all the ground it needs to
demand a heavy idemnity if 1t can
be proven that any of the men killed
we're its subjects. But demanding
and getting are two things. Nc
Democratic Congress is likely to
pass an appropriation to pay idemni-
ty for the killing of a lot Of thugs
and murderers who had made muir
der their chief occupation, even if
they were killed outside of the law.
But it is not believed that the Italian
government will desire to take any
further action when it is fully in
formed of the Malta acts which
led up to the massacre, as it had
some experience with the "Maiia. >
| am told to-day by an eminent
Republican, who is friendly to Meth
er Harrison nor Blaine, that the
deluge of Harrison talk which has
recently emanated from Republican
Senators and Representatives IN the
columns of Republican newspapers
in all sections of the country, is the
direct result of bargain between
Harrison and Blaine, whereby the
latter agrees to give the former q
chance to get himself renominated il
he can, and the former agrees that in
the event of its becoming i'm.
possible for him to get the noml-
nation he will withdraw in favor of
Mr.. Blaine. | cannot vouch for the
truthfulness of this story, but cir
cumstantial evidence is strongly in
its favor. 1t Is not at all probable
however, that Mr.. Blaine would
have made such bargain if there
was any probability of the election
of the Republican nominee.
Representatives Springer ane
Spinola, who have been dangerously
i'll in this city, are convalescing.
Although it has been nearly three
weeks since Congress adjourned it is
still impossible to get correct idef
of all the pernicious legislation en-,
acted into laws, or of the exac'
amount of money carried by
appropriations tucked away IN corn
ers of bills of all sorts Every day
something is discovered, showing
new and unexpected appropriation
or a new piece of uneXplainablC
botch legislation. Secretary Noble
has discovered what he considers a
So, 900, 900 steal, in connection with
one OF the Indian bills, and he says
the money shall never be paid if it i;
IN his power 10 prevent IL, puC owing
to the fact that several prominent
Republicans are to get big slice OF
the money in the shape of attorney
fees, it is doubtful whether any re-
monstrance on the part of Mr.. Noble
will prevent the steal being cor
sumated.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Harri-
son proposes taking any action upon
the Congressional reports of the in-
vestigation of either the Civil Service
Commission or the Pension Office
Notwithstanding the public verdict
against Raum, of the Pension office,
and Lyman, of the Civil Service
Commission.
The two Indiana "H's," Harrison
and Huston, have, it is said, made
friends, and that oft offered resigna-
ton has again been withdrawn.
