WASHINGTON LETTER.
AL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR.

Washington, d. c., Apr. 27, '9T.
Senor Manuel de J. Galvan of San
Domingo is here, and he has present
ed documents to Secretary Blaine ac
crediting him as special envoy from
that country for the purpose of nego-
tiating a reciprocity treaty with the
United States. He is very hopeful of
succeeding now that the telegraph
has brought the news of the failure of
the negotiations to secure from Hayti
a cOaling station for the United States,
because he is authorized to offer this
government SemOna Bay, which has a
harbOr large enough to float all the
vessels we are likely to have for fifty
years to come, for that purpose, if it
will agree to trade reciprocity with
San Domingo, under the provisions of
the Mckinley tariff act.
General J. @. Black of Illinois, who
was Cleveland's commissioner of pen
sions, and was badly disgruntled for
time because old man Thurman got
the vice presidential nomination that
he coveted, is in town, and, if his
friends are to be believed he is a full
f1edged candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination, and claims
that Senator elect Palmer has promis
ed to see that he gets the solid delega-
ton of his state. This isn't pleasant
news for Hon. William r. Morrison
("HOrizOntal Bill''), now drawing a
government salary as a member of
the interstate commerce commission,
who has long been in hopes that Hi
nOiS would make him her faVOrite son
in the next democratic convention and
secure for him, if not the head of the
ticket, second place, and it is probable
that the friends of these two gentle
men will at once begin campaign of
political throat cutting that will end
only when one or both of them are
completely done for.
The presidents private secretary,
E. w. Halford, who recently lost his
wife, has, with his daughter, gone on
the flying trip to Europe. He expects
to return by the time Mr.. Harrison
gets back to Washington.
1t is regarded as so certain that Sec
retary Proctor will succeed Senator
Edmunds that speculation is already
rife as to who the new member of the
cabinet will be. There is a movement
on foot to secure the place for the
Northwest, the argument being that
New England ought to be satisfied
with having Mr.. Blaine in the cabinet
Senator Henderson and ex-senator
Pierce and Spooner have been men
toned as men that would be satisfac-
tory to the party in the Northwest.
A WONDER WoRKER.-Mr. Frank Huffman, a
young man of Burlington, Ohio, states that he
had been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment until he
was not able to get around. They pronounced
his case to be Consumption and incurable.
He was persuaded to try DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds
and at that time not able to walk across
the street without resting. He found before
he had used half of dollar bottle, that he was
much better; he continued to use it and is to-
| day enjoying good health. If you have any
Throat, Lung Chest Trouble try it. We
| guarantee satisfaction. Trial bottle free at II.
/ G. Pierce's Drug Store.
! Ex-senator Blair has undoubtedly
/ passed some severe structures upon
/ the character of Chinese immigrants
to this country, but that is no more
than a great many other public men
have done, without the slightest idea
! of rejecting upon the Chinese Empire
