met Senator Carlisle in the Senate
corridor late this afternoon, and asked
him laughingly II he had yet resigned his
senatorial seat.
mo" he said, "but you may say that 1
will mail my resignation TO the Governor
OF kentucky Tomorrow"
This means. then. Senator, that you
will accept the Treasury portfolio under
Mr.. Cleveland2
Yes" he replied. and walked away be-
fore ! could ask him another question.
This, as far as l can learn, was the first
acknowledgment made here by the distin-
guished senator from Kentucky. In a
later interview he stated to "a friend that
his resignation would take effect on iTeb-
ruary 4th.
This is not more than the public have
long expected, but 1t opens up in the Ken
tucky Legislature another senatorial fight
similar TO that Of West Virginia
This being the day for the suspension Of
the rules. and generally known as sus-
pension day, upon which any bill can be
called up for consideration. there was as
full a gathering of the members Of the
House as has occurred this session. The
Southern War Claims bill was first called
UP. and after a lengthy debate and num-
Der OF complex motions, the bill was laid
aside. Mr.. Enloe Of Tennessee. was The
bright particular star Of the advocates Of
the bill, and made a clear and strong
argument in favor Of its passage. He
showed how the amount Of claims had
been grossly oyerrated for Republican
Campaign purposes, and urged the speedy
exercise of justice. too long delayed, on
these claims. Mr.. Julius Caesar Burrows.
OF Michigan vas the champion against
the claims.
A Concressman remarked this morning
IN the lobby that these war claims had
no more chance now than a Republican
outside of the classified service"
The Republican senators held a caucus
this morning. but it broke up in row"
before any business was definitely deter
mined upon. The caucus was held for
the purpose of outlining an order OF
business, and at once Senator John Sher-
man moved to take up the bill repeating
The Sherman act for the purchase Of
silver on Wednesday, imediately after the
vote upon the Anti-OptiOn bill. Senator
Sherman is in favor of the repeal of the
act. The silver senators. headed by
Messrs. Teller and Stewart, at once Wig
orOusly opposed this order of business.
and. after a wrangle on the subject, the
caucus adjourned.
Senator Teller said afterward that It
would be impossible TO pass the BIZ. at
this session; that the silver men had
gained this much. and would not resign one
single advantage This, he stated, was
their only reason for a fght on the ~iil,
and not a desire to relegate the sub
ject 10 the Democratic party at the next
Congress for its discontinue or embar-
rassment. However, he continued. this Of
course. will be the result of the matter.
Mr.. George D. Wise, as chairman of
81
in having Thursday and Saturday Of
this week set apart for the cOnsidera-
tiOn Of bills from his committee. There
are several important measures winch
will come up on these days. notably the
quarantine measures, the general light
house bills. the bin providing for reve-
nue. cutters upon the lax - and the Pa
cihc coast. the Drummers' Excess Bag
gage bill. for the equalization Of the sala-
ries OF inspectors Of steamboats,. and two
amendments TO the Interstate Commerce
act.
In writing about the visit Of the Naval
Rendezvous Committee a few days ago.
] stated that the Virginia delegation were
favorable 20 the project. but did rot In
tend to convey the idea that all Of the
members indorsed the request for the
appropriation Of $4,000 TO be expended
as the Secretary Of the Navy vaguely
indicated. or rather the way he did not
indicate.
Mr. Buchanan was not present at the
committee meeting, having been COM
PEELED 70 leave the city during its session.
Mr. Jones made a very frank and candid
statement 20 the committee. in which he
said that he yielded 10 no one deeper
interest in the affairs Of his State, but
that. having been sent here on the line OF
economy. and recognizing the deplorable
condition Of the Treasury, that he dld
not feel justified in supporting measure
merely because it was supposed 10 Dehe-
III virginia when he would be opposed
10 n for any other State. The admission
bv the Secretary that some or the SoOVoO
voted at the last session for this purpose
had already been spent seemed TO In
press Mr.. Jones with the idea that the
annropriation would fail OF the purpose
anficipated BY the committee ana ne
desired TO scrutinize the estimate OF
Secretary Tracy. not desiring 10 appro-
pirate money solely for the repairs OF
vessels and the general glorlhcauoh Vi
the Republican Secretary.
Mr. Jones did object 20 being cate
cbized bv any committee as TO how he
would vote upon this or any other propo-
sition. and said that when the time came
he should vote as his best judgment nc
tated.
There are a good many people here VINO
fear that the estimates OF secretary
Tracy bear some indefinite figuring on
painting and repairing some OF the oioer
vessels. the appropriations for when
would not be allowed by the regular navai
hin The 100000 pat in his estimate Tor
additional seamen does not appear 10
MANY as correctly stated, as they ma
no reason why any additional men wouid
he necessary al the time. and surely not
500 90 al seamen's pay. The item oi
500 600 for coal also suggests now thdl
the feet would not remain long at any
one place. The little remark that tne
Secretary made. however, about painting
uD' seemed 10 impress some folks that
he was thinking more Of his navy reeoru
than an honest desire TO benefit Virgin
ians His remarks also that none OF the
annroprfation would be spent for enter
ta{ning. does not warrant his assertion
that II the appropriation is made the IN
vitations to foreign countries must be re-
called. L. L.
