WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom Our Regular Correspondent)

FrOm Our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Mr. Harri-
son did not return from his visit to New
York feeling in very good humor.
The egotism of the man is so great that
he expected to have received pledges of
support from the New York bosses,
and his failure to do so made his dis
appointment correspondingly great.
The fact was commented on here that
on the day he was in the metropolis,
the republican dailies, as if by agree
ment, we're full of talk about the pro-
liability of Mr.. Blaine yet becoming the
candidate. Mr.. Harrison must have
regarded this as signifcant;it certainly
was so regarded here. Whatever the
outcome, it is apparent to even the
most casual observer that the Harrison
boom is rapidly losing ground here.
The naval appropriation bill recently
passed by the House, has been reported
to the senate with amendments largely
increasing the appropriations for new
ships. Senator Daniels amendment
appropriating 5000, 900 for the interna-
tional naval review next year was re-
duced to $4,000.
The substitute for the house Chinese
exclusion bill, which was passed by the
Senate early this week, is in the hands
of a conference committee, ann althoug
the sentiment Of the House is strongly
in favor Of a more rigid exclusion than
is possible under the present laws, and
which the senate substitute extends for
ten years from expiration, it is regard
ed as probable that the house may ac-
cept it as the most that can be gotten
from the senate.
The House judiciary Committee will
report resolution authorizing an in
vestigation Of the Pinkerton detective
agencies. The resolution to be offered
is a substitute for the one offered by
Representative Watson, Of Georgia, Sc
veral months ago, which contained
charges against the Pinkerton system
Representative Bryan's bill placing
lumber on the free list, which is du'
. plication of the lumber section of the
old Mill's tariff bill, would have beer
reported to the House this week by the
Ways and Means committee if the re-
publican members of that committee
had not requested postponement o1
! final action until the next meeting o1
the committee.
Senator Hill said, speaking of the
apportionment of New York: "Tht
apportionment is both morally right
and constitutionally correct. The pre-
.. tence of the republicans that it is un
constitutional will avail them nothing
The courts must and will decide agains
them because their claims are frivolous
: and ungrounded. For seven years th'
republi refused to take an enume
= ration, to make an apportionment whel
they had the chance to SO themselves
: and now they must suffer the conse
) quences Of their folly.''
Senator Sherman was evidently act
: ing under instructions when he amend
d ed Senator Teller's resolution calling
