WASHINGTON LETTER
2m Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. G. Oct. 5.

The President does not have
quite so many callers since the
announcement was semi-ofiicially
made that none of the importsnt
appointments were likely to be
made until alter the fall election.
Whatever the reason for this de-
cision it is universally considered
70 be good politics on the part of
the president, besides 1t gives
him time to look after some other
important matters that ere press
ing.
There is very marked differ
snce in the manner in which Re-
publicans and Democrats here
talk of the outlook in New York.
The Democrats invariably start
off with an "if" which they admit
to be necessary to Flowers sue
cess. Or the contrary the Repub-
licans grow more enthusiastic ev-
cry day and will not admit that
there is even possibility of defeat
for Fassett, and the reports from
private sources which reach here
from New York are constantly
adding to the Republican conf
dence.
The President has taken a hand
IN the Chinese question and he
has spoken with the same earnest
ness which characterized his in,
structions to Minister Egan last
weak to demand satisfaction from
the Chilian junta for affronts offer
ed him as the official representa-
tive of the United States, A Chi
namen who recently entered the
United States through Canada
WAS arrested and ordered deport-
ed 10 China. The British Minis
ter because the Chinamsn claim
ed g residence in Canada, request
ed the President to pardon him
and allow him to return to Cana
d8. To this the President replied
through the State department
that it this were q single case it
would give this government great
pleasure to show it's consideration
by complying with the request,
out there is involved III this case,
n my opinion, the whole question
Of The success and enforcement Of
our exclusion acts. / lave there

Treasury to send this man back
TO China.
Hon. JEFF. Chandler, OF Missou-
ri. & Democrat who wanted to
succeed Vest in the Senate,
but whose name wassomehow lost
in the shuttle by the Democratic
Legislative caucus. is here. Ere
says the only hope OF the Demo-
Gratis next year is to come ont
squarely for free coinage. 1t is
needless to add that he is not 60
ing on the stump for his party in
New York or Massachusetts.
AS it is now certain that Sec
retary Blaine will not be in
VI ashington on the date set fer
the Conference between himself
and the President and the Can
adian Commissioner onithe subject
of reeipocity-Oct 12,-the Brit
ish Minister has been notified
Of the necessity for postponin:y
the conference. and there are ma
ny people who doubt whether it
will be held until there shall
be change OF administration
in Canada.

An exchange says that the

brought about by vicious and un-
scrupulous legislation. If it was
vicious and unscrupulous legislR-
tion that gave the people twenty
pounds Of sugar for one dollar,

The stimulus given to sor-
ghum and beet sugar manufactur-
ing in a number of the Western
States, by the bounty of two cents

sugar, shows conclusively the
wisdom of the sugar bounty clause
of the Mckinley bill. Kansas,
Nebraska, Utah and California

There Is an evident discrepancy between
the laws and the men. No force can pre-.

ruin. And certainly this immense empire,

sure and indomitable propaganda repre-
sents a mysterious and terrible force-a

and have an extraordinary influence upon

The world has there an incommensura,

improper illumination of the printed sur

when snow is on the ground, will be inter
ested in the special construction of sleigh
runners just patented. The parts are de-
signed to be readily separated or put to-

be conveniently carried in the vehicle to
which they are to be applied, Besides the
usual tires, the runners have each side
shield, extending slightly above the surface
of the runner, and in the runners are set
threaded blocks, in which are removably
secured by means Of thumbscrews, the
lower ends of wrought iron legs, bent in
wardly in their upper portions to pass clear
of the hubs.
These runners can be removed from q
vehicle in a few minutes, should the sleigh.

applied when desired Should the wagon
be too heavy to pull into position on the
