been laid on the shelf, along with
other rules which were violated al
most as soon as they were an
nounced.
The government is being run just
now with only one member of the
cabinet-Secretary Smith--in town,
the rest of them, with exception of
Secretary Lamont who remained in
New York, being at Chicago, with
Mr.. Cleveland, to attend the opening
of the Worlds Fair. The office
seekers went somewhere-lets Of
them didn't have money enough
left to 90 far--to wait for the return
of the appointing powers, as they
have completely disapp cared from
Washington for the first time since
the assembling of Congress, last
December. Mr. Cleveland is ex-
pected to return Tuesday, when the
office-seekers can make a fresh start.
Among the five government d..
rectors Of the Union Pacific Rail
way company, appointed last week,
were Hon. Don Dickinson, the
gentleman who has been posing as
the Warwick of the administration
and who said that he declined TO
enter the cabinet, and Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, Of Virginia, who, it is said, did
not ask for this or any other Federal
appointment, being an avowed
candidate for the u. S. Senate from
his State. Some think that he was
given this position to make him
withdraw from the Senatorial con-
test, but there is no reason why it
should have that effect. 1t will be
easy enough for HIM to resign this
place if be can get elected to the
Senate, which will be by no means
easy, as he has the liveliest sort of
opp Osltion.

are now smaller than they have
been for years. The explanation Of
the increase in the debt is that in
terest payments were unusually
large; the gold reserve has been
depleted for reasons that have been
fully set forth from time to time,
and the smallness of the cash bal
ance is the result Of constantly
growing expense bill which is not
offset by corresponding increase
Of receipts The statements for the
month and for the ten months of the
current fiscal year both show that,
the Government is taking
in more money than it did last year,
still its expenditures are piling up
at a faster rate.

Spoke Twenty-Six Hours.


The longest speech on record is
believed by the Pail Mall Budget to
have been that made by Mr.. De
Cosmos III the legislature of British
Columbia, when measure was
pending the passage Of which
would take from Il great many set
tiers their lands. De Cosmos was
in "a hopeless minority The job
had been held back till the eve of
the close of the session; unless leg
islatiou was taken before noon of a
given day the act of the confcatiou
would fail The day before the ex-
piratiou Of the Limitation De Cos
mos got the floor about 10 a. m.
aud began a speech against the bill.
lts friends cared little, for they
supposed that by l or o'clock he
would be through, and the bill
could be put on its passage. One
O'Clock came, aud De Cosmos was
speaking sulI-had not more than
entered upon his subject. Two
o'cIock-he was saying, Gin the
second place" Three o'clock-he
produced a fearful bundle of eyi-
deuce and insisted on reading it.
The majority began to have q suS-
picion of the truth-he was going
to speak till next noon and XII the
bill For a while they made merry
over II, but rs 1t came on to dusk
they began TO get alarmed, They
tried Interruptions, but soon abau-
doued them, because each one af-
forded him a chance to digress and
gain time. They tried to shout
him down, but that gave him a
breathing space, and finally they
settled down to watch the combat
between strength Of will and weak
ness of body. They gave him no
mercy-no adjournment for dinner,
chance to do no more than wet his
lips with water; no wandering from
his subject; no sitting down. Twl-
light darkened; the gas was lit;
members Slipped out to dinner in
relays and returned to sleep in
squads, but De Cosmos went on.
The speaker, to whom he was ad-
dressing himself, was alternately
DOING, snoring, and trying to look
wide awake. Day dawned and the
majority slipped out in squads to
wash and breakfast, and the speaker
still held on. 1t cannot be said that
it was very logical, eloquent, or
sustained speech. There were di-
gressions in it, repetitions also. But
still the speaker kept on; and at
last noon came u q bailled majority,
iyid with rage and impotence, aud
a single man who was triumphant,
though his voice had sunk to a
whisper, his eyes were almost shut
ana were bleared and bloodshot,
his legs tottered under him, his
BACKED lips were cracked and
smeared with blood. De Cosmos
had spoken twenty-six hours and
saved the settlers their lands.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WAsHINGTOs. D. G. Hay /, l8

| going straight at any point he wishes
TO reach, and little patience with
those who adopt a roundabout route,
"this administration is going to
issue bonds, and nobody knows it
any better than Mr.. Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle, and in my opinion
they will issue them before the first
Of July" That seems to be the
opinion Of all those VINO have given
the subject any study and it Is
probable that the present attitude Of
the administration on the subject
was assumed for the purpose Of
being able TO meet the criticisms
certain to be made when it becomes
certain that bonds will be issued by
the statement that all other sug-
gested expedieuts had been tried
and that their failure had compelled
the issue OF the bonds. Indeed, i;
has been positively asserted by 3
personal friend Of Secretary Carlisle
that Mr. Cleveland wanted to issue
$5O,O0O,O0O Of bonds last week, and
would have done so had not Mr..
Carlisle stood SO firmly against it
and finally told him that he might
get another Secretary Of the Treas
ury to issue them as he would not,
uuiil everything else had been tried.
Mr.. CleyeIand's proposition to me
Wall street men to borrow $4,000
600 in gold from them for one year
at per cent. interest, and in default
Of payment at the end of the year
to issue bonds for that amount did
not strike the average mind as
very brilliant one 1t was declined,
however, because the Wall street
