sbould know that even the members Of
tpe cabinet are m doubt as TO Mr. Cleve-
lands intentions. and that at TIE cab
met meeting held yesterday especially
ta consider .he tariff bill ne got the
opitions of all the members of the cab
met who were lhere-Herbert is out Of
town-5ut did not positively express
his own opinion. This really means
verv little, as Mr. Cleveland believes
that mystery is one of the chief requs-
ties of craftsmanship, A few people re-
gard a veto as probable, but the general
impression IN Washington is that the
tariff bill will become a law.
Lots Of democrats are more interested
in the gossip about the reported com
blnation betw zen Vice President Steven
son and Senator Hill than in the tariff.
According to the little that has leaked
out about this combination it was formed
for double purpose. First. to prevent
the denomination of Mr.. Cleveland in
'96, and second, to make Stevenson or
Hill the nominee of the democrats, each
agreeing to throw his influence to the
one that shall develop the greatest
strength previous to the holding of the
convention, This weeks visit of Stew
enson and Hill to the grave of Thomas
Jefferson at Monticello was for the pur-
pose Of laying the wires to get contIol
OF the democratic machinery in Virginia,
as starter,
The free traders were disappointed
when they found out that Senator White,
OF California the new democratic men,
Der o. the senate finance committee,
would vote with the republicans of the
committee against reporting favorably
the house bill to put lead ore on the free
list, The bill will be quietly pigeon
hoIed
Ii republican expectations are real
lied in the election of senators to fill the
three vacancies, one each from Montana,
Washington and Wyoming, it is alto
gether probable that the bargain be-
tween the sugar trust and the bosses of
the democratic party will be speedily
upset t the next session of congress,
by the passage of the house bill TO put
all sugars on the free list with an
providing for a bounty on
all domestic sugar. 1t is believed that
that free sugar bill with the bounty
amendment would receive in addition to
the vote Of every republican senator,
those of the populists and the two dem
ocrats from Louisiana.
1t seemed little odd to find Repre-
sentative Warner of New York City,
who has all curing the session been one
of the faithful band of house cuckoos,
preventing bv his objection ection upon
a bill that is beng urged by the admin
istration. The bill in question is that
for The prevention of the coming of
alien anarchist immigrants and for the
deportation of those now in the United
States. The bill was unanimou. ly
passed by the senate and in view Of the
statement made by treasury officials,
that they were IN possession Of des'rlp-
tions of 800 dangerous anarchists who
had been driven out of France and Italy
by recent legislation against anarch SITS
and were now headed for the United
States, it as believed that it could be
easily put through the house under
consent, that bei' 6 the only
wav it could be passed in the absence of
a quorum. But it was not put through,
and there is little probability that 1t will
be at this session, unless the hou. shall
again find itself with quorum present
before adjournment, and that isn't ex-
pected by anybody. Mr. Warmers OBJ
lection to the bill Is that it gives the
of immigration full pow
er to deport alien anarchists without any
action by the courts. Perhaps Mr. War
ner thinks the alien anarchist votes of
New York City will be needed by the
democratic party this year, and that his
of action CD this bill will
make sure of them.

squad of republican senators who have
