Special to the Pittsburg Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The specula-
tions here ia regard 10 the cause Of Vice
President Mortun's rejection by the Min.
neapolis Convention have now settled
down into general belief that Mr.. Nor.
ton was regarded as too lukewarm in the
Presidents interest. He is said to have
shown an indispostion to assume the
role OF practical politician, and this kind
OF politician is very much in request at
the White House nowadays. The Presi-
dent himself has cultivated practical poll
tics extensively Of late, and so have all
the members of his Cabinet. 1t was prac.
tical politics of the finest kind that Sc
cured his denomination.
But in all the recent mlneuvers the
Vice President has taken no part He
has held aloof from the midnight gather
ings at the White House, and has made
no purchases or sales over the political
bargain counter. The situation in New
York demands hustling heucefortb, and
accordingly Mr.. Reid was put in to hustle.
The feeling still prevails in this city that
Mr.. Morton was treated very shabbily.

Interest in What the Democrats VIII Do
About Subsidies.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The post
office appropriation bill was completed
today by the House committee on post
officers and will be reported to the House
in few days. Its aggregate Of appro-
priations is in the neighborhood of $50
100000 The appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year are S77, ,eo1, ,222. The es-
Inmates were $50, ,S23, 400. The feature Of
the bill of chief interest is the section
relating to foreign mails, included in
which is what is known as the subsidy
appropriation. Whatever action is taL.
en- by the committee with reference to
subsidies will be taken in a general hill
and not in an appropriation bill For
foreign mails, the committee appronri-
ated $291, $3.50 in addition to the unex
pended balance in the treasury. The
appropriation for this purpose by the
last Congress was 81, ,25O, 900. This
amount was not based on the estimates
of the Postmaster General
but Congress regarded the amount
necessary to carry out the subsidy
law. Fewer contracts have been made
than were estimated for by Congress-. So
it was found that over $400, 900 Of the an
preparation was still in the treasury.

ters met at Chaumartin's house and ar
ranged programme of revenge. The
first victims selected were Judge Benoit,
who presided at the trial of Decamp and
M. Boulet, who prosecuted him. The
Indictment details the story of the steal

the bombs by Ravoschal, who filled t EN-
with dynamite, grisontine and bits of
iron. The conspirators planned to- blow
up the police station at Clichy, March

We're each sentenced to one year in the

caps assaulted Herbert N. Pratt, while
he and Welch and man named Gibbs

ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 15.-The Eve
ming Telegram says: In the course of
the debate on the resolution introduced
into the assembly by Mr.. Morine on
Tuesday last, Mr.. Morine during the alb
sence of the colonial secretary in the
House, said that Mr.. Bond had led the
country to believe that the only conces-
sione given to American fishermen was
the right to purchase bait, whereas, as a
matter of fact, he had bartered away the
rights of Canadian fishermen. In sup
port OF this statement, he quoted from
a letter written by Sir Charles Upper.
Mr. Bond was informed of this charge,
made by Mr.. Morine, on his return to
the House, and as opportunity to deny
the same had passed during his absence,
he Immediately telegraphed to the Secre-
tary of State for the United States re-
specting the matter. He received the
following reply:
Bond, Colonial Seeretogu:
never, stated to Tupper that you had ex-
pressed the intention of your government to ex-
clude Canadians from bait You never said
anything OF the kind to me. Pauncefote who
