WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON Dee II 1S,

+
Washington, Dec. II, 1891.
The Presidents annual message to
Congress is beyond question one of
the ablest and best written messages
ever submitted to Congress; it con
/ tains not single sentence af par
tisan politics, and yet it's statements
of facts, showing the condition of
every department of the Government
and of the country at large, presents
the strongest OF arguments for re
tanning the republican party in power
for the simple reason that thecountry
ows its present general and unprece-
dented prosperity to the wise legis-
lation of the last republican Congress
and the iarseeing craftsmanship dis
played by the present administration
in carrying out that legislation. The
portion OF the message relating to
foreign affairs is calm and dignified.
and yet bristling with true American
ism, the kind that every patriotic
American, whatever his politics, must
endorse. 1t recommends the adoption
for u uniform method OF selecting
congressman and Presidential cleo
tors that would put an end to such
disgraceful gerrymandcring schemes
as that which mas been adopted by
the democratic legislature OF Michi-
gan. and it proposes Il non-partisan
Commission appointed by the Su-
preme Court to consider the evils of
our present system, which shall pro-
coed with candor, culmncSs and pa
thence upon the line OF Justice and
humanity, not OF prejudice and cruel
ty.
The democratic House is evidently
in no hurry to get down TO work, as
it adjourned from Wednesday to Sat
urday witt the understanding that
it would on that day adjourn until
next Wednesday, and by that time
the members will begin to think
about the Christmas recess.
I The idol has been shattered! Cleve-
land no longer occupies the pedestal
OF the J OSS Of the democratic party.
The deposition OF Cleveland was pre-
deG by one OF the bitterest and most
vicious fights that ever took place in
the House OF Representa- lives, not eX-
ccDting the great fights in which the
opponents were OF different parties,
eOnally or by confidential proxy, by
Cleveland who was represented by Il
host OF followers including two Oi his
old Cabinet, Villas and Dickinson; by
Hill, who was specially represented
by a TamanJ crowd who shouted
early and late for Crisp, and by Cor
man. who personally pulled the Crisp
wires from the first. Now the attempt
is made by certain OF the democrats
to deny that the SDeakership contest
had amy presidential aspects. but
while the deadlock was on heprom-
inent democrats who thrOnGed the
corridors OF the capitol gave the
whole thing away by their frantic
appeal for votes; the issue was square
!, made that the election Of Mills
would mean the nomination OfClnve-
land and Of Crisp an anti-Clcvcland
man. and upon that issue, and no
other, did the democratic representa-

From muttering already heard the
election of Crisp to be Speaker of the
House will be costly one to the dem
ocratic party. This will first begin
to show when the announcement Of
the committee chairmanships, which
with the exceptions Of the Committee
on Rulls and that on Village, will
probably not be made until aft er the
Christmas recess. Neither Mr.. Crisp
nor any other man could satisfy the
diverse elements, which by combining
made him Speaker. Just think Of a
man trying to please Charles A.
Dana, Tammany Hall. Governor
Senator Hill, Senator German, JAY
Gould andthe moss-back democracy
of the South at one and the same
time, and you have Il faint idea of the
task undertaken by Crisp Long head
ed republicans regard the election OF
Crisp as n very fortunate thing for the
republican party, for while Mr.. Crisp
is personally aclever and II popular
man. he represents all the elements
that elected him, and the demands
of those elements which he will be
compelled to a certain extent to ac-
cede to will each add to republican
chance of victory next year.
The impression seems to be general
here that Mr.. Blaine will shortly
make public a letter saying that he
will under no circumstances be a
Presidential candidate next year.

The Fru1t Growers.

MARysvmLE, CAL, Nov. 19.-The
third day of the fruit growers conven-
ton, j. L. Mosher, OF San Jose, read a
paper on Horticultural Progress; d.
Dublin, OF Sacramento, one on Methods
for the Profitable Disposition OF Califor-
MIA Dried and Green Fruits; E. N. Row
ell, Of San Francisco, one on Marketing
California's Fruit Crop.
Il. w. Maslin, of the state board Of
trade, spoke on the necessity OF gaining
a market for California dried and green
fruit in England, where at present COM
paratively nothing is known OF them.
Resolutions of the traffic association
were here introduced by j. S. Stabler.
They were applauded, and before action
was taken, were discussed at consider
able length by Mr.. Stabler, Professor
Wickson, F. A. Kimball, of National
City, J. M, Benson, OF Stockton, and
others.

BaImaceda's Man Friday Interviewed
on the Chilean situation.
PARIS, Nov. 19.-7Sefior Vicuna, who
was selected by Balamacsda to succeed
him in the presidency Of Ohile, arrived
here today. Regarding affairs in Chile
he refused to talk until the public mind
there became tranquil and the political
situation normal. He said when the
proper time comes he will publish docu
ments in his possession containing the
facts regarding these matters and leave
history to pronounce the verdict as to
the part played in Balmaceda's
government. Referring to the
general situation in South America, the
seiior said, on account of the Chilean
revolution which had an unsettled in
tluence on the whole continent. gen.
eral conflagration was liable to break
out at any moment. Brazil, since the
proclamation OF the rebublic, has been
unable to establish a government hav-
ing the essential elements of perma-
nence. The divergent interests, politi-
cal and economic, and the dissimilar
sympathies, customs and temperaments
of the inhabitants, would inevitably
lead to the separation of the country
into at least two sections, north and
south. In Argentine changes are taking
place, and general outbreak Of discon-
tent is impending. Even in Peru indi-
cations of movements OF disquieting ma
ture are observable by the student of
politics.

ALL FOR FREE COINAGE.
THE MINING CONGRESS is RIGHT
ON SILVER.
Judge Searles, of California, Senator VOL
colt, Of Colorado and Other Noted Men
Express Their Opinions-An interest
ing Drilling Contest

DENVER, Nov. 19.-The session OF the
mining congress was delayed this morn
ing through the tardiness of the dele
gates. in consequence of attending the
drilling contest last evening. Butte,
Mont, broke all records in the way Of
double-handed drilling, and defeated
the champions OF Colorado.
! The committee on credentials reported
$50 delegates present from thirty-one
states and territories. Niles Searles, ex-
chief justice OF California, was recon-
mended for permanent chairman, and
it was decided to discuss number OF
subjects, among which was that of the
free coinage OF silver. The report was
adopted.
Judge Searles, in the course of his ad-
dress accepting the craftsmanship, en-
phatically endorsed the free coinage Of
silver.
In the afternoon the congress ap-
pointed one vice-president from each
state. Skiff, of the mining bureau of
the worlds fair, was given thirty
minutes to set forth the advantages OF
the Columbian exposition and the
necessity OF the mining states making
an exhibit that would give the world an
idea of the importance of the industry.
Senator Wolcott, in brief speech,
set at rest all doubts as to his position
on the silver question. He hoped the
congress would shape into proper form
such matters as require legislation, and
in closing his remarks, said: mo mat
ter what may be the wishes OF the
majority OF the party to which belong,
or its chief executive; and no matter
how much my course may remove me
from the sunlight OF official patronage,
until some new light crosses my vision,
which is not yet dimmed, l shall SO
long as remain in public life. vote for
free and unlimited coinage of silver"
The audience rose and applauded
Senator Wolcott until President Searles
raped for order.
E. r. Holden, the leader OF the fac
ton demanding the coinage Of Ameri-
can product only, predicted disaster
and ruin to the banking and commercial
system of the country if foreign nations
were allowed to unload their silver upon
the United States, and receive gold in
return. He asserted that Mexico in an
other year would produce more silver
than this country, and that one small
district in Australia was preparing to
produce more silver than Colorado.
Charles S. Thomas of Colorado replied
to these arguments, and boldly advo-
Gated free and unlimited coinage OF sill
YER. The congress then adjourned un-
til tomorrow.
On the committee on resolutions the
chairman appointed as members at
large: Col. G. G. Goodwin, Utah. ex-
Senator III. w. Tabor, Colorado; ex-
Governor Hauser, Montana; Robert
Mackey, Canada, and J. ]. Mutually,
Missouri.
The second days drilling contest
leaves the record of the Butte team at
the head OF the list. and it ia foregone
conclusion that they will take first
money.

New York, Nov. 19.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent cables: The
Chilean government has descended from
tho lofty pedestal it so long occupied in
dealing with the outrageous assault by
a mob upon the sailors OF the Balti-
more, Captain Schley today received a
letter from Judge Foster, granting the
request that our representatives here be
furnished by the court OF inquiry with
copies OF all dispositions made before it
in the investigation. This same re-
quest has been absolutely refused on
oil previous occasions. There ia no
doubt that the Chilean authorities have
rejected the London Timess self
proffered advice through its sem
sational correspondent, Thomson, that
the United States reasonable de-
mands be treated as bluff, and finding
that our government was maintaining
fair but firm attitude, determined to
meet it half way. hear rumors that
much speculation is INDUCED in here at
Santiago as to the reason for the dis
patch OF American war vessels to the
Pacific squadron. There is no doubt
that the news had salutary effect in
Chile.
A large fire at Santiago yesterday de-
stroyed several buildings facing the mu-
nicipal theater.

spondent OF the Times says: With the
exception of formal scrutiny by congress
Admiral Montt was yesterday unani-
nously elected president OF Chile.

VI tno LsoDoAAAOhs
New YORK, Nov. 19.-The Herald's
cable from Valparaiso about Brazilian
affairs says: Two different stories came
tonight. One is to the effect that Fon-
SEGA has heard from the governors OF all
the states, announcing adherence to the
new form Of government. On the other
hand, it is asserted that the insurgents
in Rio Grande are still in high feather.
They have selected General Ossorio as
commander of the military forces. ADJ
miral Waudenkolk, it ia asserted, has
deserted Fonseca and joined the insur-
gents. The government of Uruguay has
proclaimed strict neutrality. Passen-
gers from Rio Grande say the revolution
was started by the captain of the frigate
Rodrigo Rocha, In conjunction with
certain garrisons of the state. The en-
trance to the river is guarded by torpe-
does and troops. The buoys have been
fe moved by order of the Uruguayan
government. Only foreign war ships
and merchantmen are allowed passage.
Baron Lucerna. president of Fonseca's
council OF ministers, has proposed to
the insurgents that they state the causes
of their grievances, and on what condi-
tion they will disperse their forces and
prirg the insurrection TO an end. The
provisional junta is having internecine
strife, and DR.. Brazil and Arros Cassal
have resigned. Passengers just in from

gents, merchant vessels and foreign war
ships drawing less than 13 feet will still
be able to pass.

south and west members objected. The
subcommittee was instructed to select
either Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincin-
natl, Chicago or Springfield, Ills.
Politics consumed much of the time oil
this committee, the question at issue
being whether way should be left open
ior selecting a national ticket at the
February meeting, or whether the work
done there should be limited so as to
prevent political action. The latter
course was finally decided on.
When the assembly convenes it will
draw up platform Of declarations and
demands, and the two great political
parties will be requested to give them
consideration and endorsement. 1t is
not expected that the two great parties
will take any notice Of these demands,
and the way will remain clear for the
Peoples party to call convention, after
the other political conventions have
been held, and adopt the formulated
demands OF the confederated labor as
sembly as its platform.
This is the plan of action now deter
mined upon by the Peoples party; to
call convention after the other political
conventions have been held, and adopt
the formulated demands of the confed-
Grated labor assembly as its platform.
The Confederated Assembly of Indus
trial Unions, as it is called, will be the
most important organization of recent
years. 1t aims for the consolidation OF
all the labor classes, and the subsequent
diversion Of the whole strength of the
gigantic combination into the ranks of
the third party.
A committee was appointed to prepare
an address to the iaboring people, set
ting forth the objects and purposes of
the February meeting.
The Reform Press association elected
DR.. S. McLallin, editor of the Topeka
Advocate, president, this morning. A
committee was appointed and instructed
to ask a conference with a like COM
mittee from the supreme council OF the
Farmers Alliance, on the subject Of the
National Union company of New York,
and to investigate its workings, etc.
AT a joint meeting tsnight OF the
Alliance and F. M. B. A., the third
party movement was endorsed amid the
widest enthusiasm. The F. nj. B. A.
elected S. S. Gauze, of Missouri, presi
dent; j. 2. Stelle, OF Illinois, secretary.

American Stage Passes Suddenly
Away = Joseph Jefferson Severely
Shocked by the News. a

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.--William J.
Florence, the actor, died at the Cont
mental hotel this evening at 80 O'Clock.
1t was great surprise to those in at
tendance, as he had today apparently
been improving. Only his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Barney Williams, OF Brooklyn, his
sister, Mrs. Norman Wizard, OF Washing
ton, and Or. Donnelan were with him
when the end came. Toward the even
ing he had been sleeping, and the first
indication the watchers had OF death,
was that he ceased to breathe.
Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Wizard are
Frustrated. AS all his male relatives
had returned to New York today, be-
lieving him to be on the road to recov-
cry. Proprietor Kingsley, of the hotel,
took temporary charge OF affairs. Mrs.
Florence will leave England for New
York Saturday. Until she can be heard
from no definite funeral arrangements
will be made. 1t is thought he will be
inferred in Brooklyn.
His fatal illness began last Saturday
night. He had been complaining dur
ing the week, but performed regularly,
and on Saturday evening after the per-
formance gave supper at the hotel in
honor OF Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall. After
the festivities he was taken i'll and a
physician found he was suffering from
severe attack OF pneumonia, both lungs
being affected. The lobby of the hotel
was tonight filled with theatrical people
discussing the sad incident.
Messages Of sympathy sent to Mrs.
Florence by the Glover club, on the oc-
cassion OF it's monthly dinner tonight,
reached the hotel after his death.
Florence was 81 years of age. His
name was originally Conlin, but after
he adopted the stage name OF Florence,
he legalized it by act of the Legislature.
