WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April {, 1892.

The President was so well salts
fed with the public events of last
week, both foreign and domestic
that he wanted to go to Maryland
to enjoy his favorite sport-shoot-
ing wild ducks; but found 1t
impossible to get away. The
diplomatic victory won by him from
Lord Salisbury was a vindicauon Of
the vigorous foreign policy, which
has been such marked feature of
this administration, that the whole
world now understands that the
United States is no longer good
country to try to impose upon. So
much for foreign affairs.
The serious split in the Demo
cratic party in the House on the
free coinage bill was the domestic
event of the week most pleasing to
the President and all other good
Republicans. 1t is an excellent
beginning of the Presidential
campaign---for the Republican,
for Representative Bland to accuse
Speaker Crisp of having prevented
. H..l III l,,,.,,., veto "a, ba fraa
coinage bill by deceiying its sup.
porters into agreeing To an adjourn
ment by promising that new rule
should be reported enabling them
to get a vote without illisbustering,
and for Speaker Crisp to retort by
calling Mr. Bland-somethiug which
gentlemen usually resent with a
blow. 1t augurs so well for Demo
cratic harmony.
The vote Of the Senate on the
ratification of the arbitration treaty
was remarkable for two things, the
unusually large number of Senators
voting, seventy.two, and the fact
that all of them voted one way, for
the ratification of the treaty. There
was no politics in the question, and
to the credit of the Democratic
Senators be it said, there was no
attempt to inject any into 1t.
Quite q crowd went from here,
including Secretary Tracy and
other prominent naval officials and
Congressman, to see the launching
of the cruiser Raleigh, which took
place At the Norfolk navy yard.
Assistant Secretary Nettleton has
filed formal charges with Secretary
Forter, against Immigration Com
missioner Owen, accusing him OF
being unfit, Incompetent and IN
trustworthy in the performance OF
his duties; Of circulating malicious
SANDERS against his superiors IN
office. and of having slipshod and
reckless ideas Of conducting public
business. Commissioner owen dis
lules every item Of the charges.
Representative Dolltyer, of Iowa,
who is one of the youngest men IN
the House, made, last week, one Of
the best tariff speeches taat has
been made during the presen,
session. Il has atone bound placed
him III Tie front rank of the good
takers in Congress. He referred as
follows to the Homeopathic policy
of the Democrats: "The fact that
this House, almost unanimously
Democratic, sent here, it is claimed,

Depressed Democracy.

The election throughout Wiscon-
sin on Tuesday was watched with
great interest by politicians. A
study of the returns will certainly
encourage and strengthen the hopes
of Republicans, whereas the Dem
ocratic spirit meets with depression.
Peck carried Milwaukee by 1000
for Governor but the Democratic
candidate for mayor has to content
himself with 5000, majority, Will e
over one thousand more votes were
cast this spring.
In most all the larger cities of
the state the Republicans realized
good gains, some for the first time
in many years going Republican.
Has any person heard of one of
the large cities showing a Dem
ocratic gain? Guess not. The
swinging back into Republican
lines of the German Lutherans,
aside from showing their wisdom
and love for the better principles,
is indeed comforting to the adj
herents of the grand old party,
Upon cool deliberation these loyal
citizens are convinced that genuine
freedom for all is championed by
the Republican party and none
other.
In small cities and villages party
lines were not closely drawn, and
the vote seemed to be as usual in
sprin g elections.

TINS is the time of year when
people are engaged in house-clean-
ing, and fixing up generally. This
always brings to the front the fact
that many articles of use in the
home are wanted and must be fur.
nished by the outlay of good hard
earned dollars. Persons who must
make these purchases Will be re-
minded of the Mckinley bill. A
little over q year ago the Democrats
were flooding the country with
mis-statements as to the horrible ad.
vance in prices that would result
fror. the passage Of the bill, and
very many believed them. They
had had no practical experience TO
demonstrate that these statements
were false. Ii is different now.
Let every one test the matter by a
comparison Of the prices of the
several articles they purchase with
the prices Of the same or Similar
articles before the passage OF lhe
bill. This comparison will surprise
as well as convince the people that
the statements made by the Dem
ocrats as to the effect Of the bill
were false, and intended e mis-
lead.

It Ticked Through tho Revolutionary
War, and In StIn Ticking.
In an old-fashioned, low, Dutch style
atone house on the banks of the Hud-
son, at Nyack, is the home of the Sar-
vents, a family whose descendants have
occupied it for over two centuries. The
house Is filed with relics Of We ancient
TYNE, especially in rusty old swords,
flint locks, muskets, cannon balls, grape
and canister shot and links of the iron
chain which was submerged across the
Tappanzee during the revolution to pre-
vent the passage of the British heet to
West Point. There are many other rel
les, but the most highly priced Of all is
an ancient eight-day clock which rings
out h hours as regularly and keeps as
splendid time as it did when it was first
placed in the old house by Philip Sar-
vent in 1858, when he bought it from
Nhitlock in New York and conveyed it
Ivy sloop to his home.
The clock has a history, as it eft
inter the revolution" Twenty years
afterward, when the old house was
shelled by the British fleet and the rcd
coats were pillaging the homes of the
Dutch settlers and patriots, the clock
was conveyed back in the country to
Clarkstown, and there buried und~r a
barn, where it remained for over seven
years.
Garrett Sarvent, a grand old patriarch
of eighty years, q grandson of Philip,
o resides in the old house. He was
for many years assessor and mayor, and
widely known and highly respected
throughout Roclkland county as a stcr-
ling old Jacl1sonian democrat. In an
interview recently he declared that his
love and veneration for his g~randfather's
clock and the historical associations
connected with it was so strong that no
mount of money, even if it was thou
sands, would temp him or his children
To part with the relic. 1t has kept such
6ne time for n hundred and thirty
seven years, and is possibly equal to the
task for another century.

Architect describes the successful work.
ing of a novel fire escape. If the fnvcn-
ton is what it appears to be it is very
ingenious, and likely to prove of great
benefit to mankind. A public trial of
it was made from the top of the new
Masonic temple ct Chicago.
The pocket fire escape consists of n
metallic tape o~ne-quarter of an inch
wide and Il thirty-second of an inch
thick, running on n steel reel which is
Fastened 10 Il web belt passing about
the waist.
The reel is provided with n brake by
means of which the person can control
tho speed of his descent. There. is also
81 automatic brake to keep a required
tension on the tape, and thus prevent n
:&dlcn drop. The end of the tape is
provided with n thumb screw which
can BE- fastened to the window sill or
any object in the room. In appearance
the machine is like a fsherm ms reel,
and is about twice the size of q spool of
thread.
The beginning of the experiment
seemed pCrilous in the extreme. The
inventor fixed the thumbscrew, fast
Clcd the web belt about his waist and
Stepped off apparently into space from
the twentieth story.
At first he descended slowly, then
foster and faster, till it seemed he must
have lost control over the little ma
Chine, tho slender tape of which could
; arccly be seen, and at any time looked
~ larger than an ordinary cord.
At tho tenth story he stepped sudden
~. ard th"n descended Hgaiu, rapidly
" q slowly by turns, until he came to
4" ~scaifolding where were several
vrrAmcn. There he took three. men
o. Che escape with him, and thus
dropped to the ground.

POTOMAC RIVER FLATS.

An interesting report Of operations for work
about the Potomac flats in front of Washington
during the month of August was submitted to
Gen Casey. Chief OF Engineers, last week, by
Mai. G. E. L. B. Davis who is In charge f the
work. One of the projects mentioned in the re-
port is of more than usual interest at this time.
1t states % that small reservoir is to be estab-
lished near the foot of Seventeenth street which
will be filed with water from large reservoir
and discharged into the sewer canal, the object
being to purify to some extent the sewage in
the canal"
The approved project also contemplates the
removal or rebuilding of Long Bridge with
wider spans during the progress of the work.
The total project is estimated to cost g, 49,
800. and there was available at the commence
ment of the present month 1925. 2315I.
The work on the Washington channel is now
about three-fourths done, and the reservoir
outlet has been completed, except the railing.
All the material is being deposited on the
fats, and practically the entire area TO be re-
claimed has been raised above the overflow as
ordinary high tide
The contract for dredging the Virginia chan
mel with Frank c. Somers is In force, the work
to be completed Sept. 80, 1892. Dredging under
this contract IS being continued, and 2S92S
cubic yards of material were deposited on Sec
ton two. making total of 414.427 yards
dredged under the contract. The channel is
now being widened 30 feet on the easterly side,
making total width of $50 feet, the depth
made being 20 feet at low tide.
