WattsrsOn's letter to Gov. Hill, ad vising
him to get out OF the way of the Cleveland
locomotive, has been the subject of numer-
Gus jokes at the capital this week. I hav-
emit seen a single man, Democrat or Re
publican, who believed it had any effect
upon Hill, or that it was the cause OF his
taking the senatorship. 1t is generally re-
garded as a bit OF the grossest impertinencs
on the part OF Wattsrson.
Both house and senate have given nearly
the whole Of this week to the appropriation
bills, and great progress has been made.
The night sessions of the senate have net
proved a brilliant success, owing to the
seeming impossibility of getting a quorum
Of members To attend them.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 1891

From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 1891.
Secrstary Blaine has concluded another
reciprocity treaty, which will open the mar
kets Of Venezuela to our products and man
ufacturcs, and there are several other treat
les well advanced which will probably be
sent to the senate before the end OF the
session.
Mr.. Blaine denies most emphatically that
he has written any letter ts any person in
Canada or elsew here on the subject OF Can
adian reciprocity, except his note to Repre-
sentative Baker OF New York. stating that
this government would not consider any
limited proposition from the Canadian au-
thorities. This is in answer to statements
that have appeared in Canadian papers.
Representative Dingley, who is chairman
of the COMMITTEES engaged in investigating
the alleged silver peol, says that the state
ments made by 0wsnby in a Chicago inter-
| view, to the effect that he was hampsred
by the committee and prevented from tell
ing whath he knew when he was here last
week, are absolutely false and without the
slightest foundation. Representative Dor
sew stated uOuef Odtn DoiOTc Tue CominittSc
that il he was the Nebraska congressman
who Owenby stated in the same interview
had offered him 2 $500 to forget what he
knew when he went on the witness stand,
that Owenby was an Infamous liar in all
that the term implied.
The Sioux Indian delegation has had it's
last interview with the officials Of the in
terror department. Yesterday they were
received by the president, and to-day they
left for Philadelphia, where they will at
tend a public meeting. From there they
will 20 to visit the Indian school at Carlisle
and thence home. The Indians don't want
to be transferred to the war department..
but in the eyes Of a great many that Is just
why they ought to be.

minds absolutely untrammeled by even any
knowledge of the Presidents wishes that the
convention went about its work Of selecting his
associate on the ticket.
