WASHINGTON NEWS.
OPINIONS ON THE NEW YORK
 CONVENTION.
Senators and Congressman Scarce ae Yesterdays session-New Revenue Cut ters Needed-A Change in the Natur- allxation Laws-General Notes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Yesterday' s political events in New York and Mich igan are subjects of general conversa- ton in political circles to-day. A sum- mary of the general opinion is that the situation has not at all cleared, though events may have that effect later on. The most acute Demo cratic politicians say frankly that while the event at Albany shows that New York will perforce be solid for IIill, it probably means that neither Hill nor Cleveland will be nominated. Hills speech and the platform evidently prepared either by himself or under his supervision, are both severely criti- ciscd by members of his own party. On the whole, the feeling is that Hill lost rather than gained ground by yes terday's developments, and that the only thing demonstrated by the event is the impracticability of nominating either Hill or Cleveland.

FOSTER MAY RESIGN.
LIKELY TO GIVE UP THE TREAS.
 URY PORTFOLIO.
He Is to Go to Europe for Rest-Pro- posed Naval Demonstrntion-Privat Pension BiIls-The Appropriation fo, Indian Schools.

WAsHINGfoN, Feh. 24. = Secretary Fosters friends fear he will never ta,,a up his duties again as Secretary of tha the Treasury. He sails for Eurone ostensibly for rest and change, but in reality to consult with eminent special. ists to fully determine whether he has Bright's disease in an incipient form. The symptoms of Bright's disease de. veloped Fore than month ago, when Secretary Foster had gone to Fortress Sonroe. It is stated that the phvsie. ians have not yet pronounced his trouble Bright's disease, but none of them are able to assure him that the malady is not making inroads on his system. If it will do any good he may go to some of the German springs and ~emain several months. His friends say that if Secretary Foster is fully convinced he has Bright's disease he will surely resign his position as a Cabinet officer, and will further give up all active business.

Fate of Private Pension nnl..

WASHINGTON, Feb. a4.-There are many private bills before the Pension committees of both Houses of Congress for increasing the pay of widows of army and navy officers, but the prob ability is that most of them will be pigeonholed.
