Washington. Nov. Is, 1891,

Washington. Nov. Ii, 1891.
The present administration will be
remembered long by the
ing fraternity OF Washington on nc
cont OF the two very decided beats
it got TN the watchful boys. Tn.
first WAS the announcement In the
Presidents message to congress last
December tF at Minister Miner has,
been recalled, and the last was thean
nouncement this week while nrguin,
the Sayward case before the Supreln
Court, by Acknowledgement Mile
that the arbitration treaty wit.
Great Britain had been conclude;
and only required the ratification
the Senate to become binding. Mr..
Harrison has never been an editor,
but he certainly has the news instinct
SO necessary In the making OF Il sue
cessful editor.
The argument has been concluded
in the Saywarsl case, and the public
looks forward with much interest to
the decision. What that decision
will be no man can tell, but the
opinion prevails largely here that
it will sustain the position taken by
the administra tons. i. e. that the
question Of jurisdiction over Bering's
sea is a political one, and belongs
properly to the President ard Con-
gress and not to the judicial branch
of our Government.

Ell food tide in Boston, in fact said

see SO many Grand Army men in line,
but want to take that back. The
Washington encampment is going
to eclipse all others.
