WASHINGTON: LETTER. !.
(From Our Regular CORRESPONDENT

Washington, Jan. 10, 1892.
The President has become sa tisfied
that the attitude of the Gillian Min
lister towards a satisfactory settle
lnent of the after Is not sustained
by the CHILEAN government, and he
has therefore determined that all the
which will show be-
yond the shadow of d doubt that
this country has good and substan tial
reason for declaring war against Chilli
shall be sent to Congress just as soon
as copies OF the tes timony of the
sailors OF the Baltimore, now being
taken at San Francisco by Judge
Advocate General Remey of the Navy
can be had. This will probably be
next week. and unless Chilli shall in
apologize a declaration of
war is regarded as certain. 1t is
and generally believed that
the President has already forw arded
his ultima tn n to Chilli.
Ex-Speaker Reed brought down the
House when he rem arked sarcastical-
ly after cOncurring with the Speaker
protein g decision that debate was
not In order after the previous ques-
ton had been ordered on Represcn-
tative HOlman's remarkable resnlut-
ion declaring it t. BE- the Judgement
OF the House that no bill lending aid
in any shape to private industries or
should be passed, and no
appropriated for any purpose
except what Is manifestly necessary
to carry ON the Government depart
ments, "And this House will cease to
be deliberative bodv.' This reso-
luton, which after four hours debate,
was yesteslly adopted comes nearer
to effectually gagying the House than
my rule yet adopted, am Mr.. Reel
spoke q mighty truth when he said,
that with it's adoption the House
would cease to be Il deliberative
body. 1t is said to be TIL. result OF a.:
conference between the leaders of the
peanut" wing of the democratic
party. :.
Senator Sherman returned to-day
rom Columbus. where he went to at
tend reception, which followed his
Ormal election by the Ohio legisla ture
to succeed himself in the Senate.
Secretary Risk has no fear of the
result of any inves tigation into the
workings of his department and he
says Of Jerry Simpsons resolution
)ffered in the House providing for an
nves tigation of the workings of the
Agricultural department.: | heartily
welcome any thing that will compel
of Congress to learn more
sbout this department. | should be
glad for my )wn sake, for thedepurt
n,nt's interest, an for the sake OF
he farmers, to have the workings, OF
his department more thoroughly un- !
lerstOOd and appre:ia ted by members
il Congress and citizens generally
hal they are. Singularly enough al
hough Mr.. Simpson, l understand,
yves his election to farmers vo ties
Ind poses as distinc lively a represent
ative of the farming interest. he has
)aid but little attention to this de-
,artment and it's work. | am quite
atfs;ied that the better he becomes
acquainted with it the more he will
appreciate it, This has been my ex-
,erience in the case of all those WAC |
AVE sought more intimate know
edge of the work we are doing and
low we do it,"
The democratic m ,nbers of the
louise committee on Ways ami
deans evidently consider that they
know it ALL" SO far as the tariff is
as they have decided not
% grant any hearing to industries
liable to be affected by tariff legisla-
ion. Fortunately it is beyond the
,ower of these "big headed" demo-
rats to hurt anybody, except their
Jwn party.
The law makes many distinctions
n crime that are verv unjust but to
,hange or amends, law is always a
slow process. To say that the law
encourages theft may shock the reader
out it is nevertheless true REGARD
