Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, May 4, 1894.

upOH tlic bOii VI tilt DlStrlCt vi
Columbia. The small number
of men is quite surprise, there
were less than one thousand
men in line when they marched
into Washington. The electric
railroad running out to where
the army is camped could well
afford to feed the army during
its stay, if they could do as big
a business carrying passengers
every day as they did yesterday.
Comparatively few of those who
went out to the camp were SYM
pathisers, either with the army
or its objects. The great majori-
ty went merely to crafty their
curiosity to see the widely ad-
vertised army. While there
have been some contributions OF
money and food, the quantity
has been such as to make it GER
tain that if the army remains
for any length of time it cannot
hope for food from Washington
ians. So far no complaints have
been made Of the behavior of any
members of the army but some
struggling tramps have been ar
rested for committing depreda-
tions.
There is not the slightest in
dication at the present writing
that the army will have any in
huence with Congress, or that
even any serious consideration
will be given to its petition by
either the Senate or the House.
While there are number of
Senators and Representatives
who feel the deepest sympathy
for the members OF the army
whom they regard as representa-
tives of the army of unemployed
at present in this country, there
is not so far as known single
man in Congress who endorses
Coxey's good-roads bill. The
populists are anxious that Con-
gress should do something for
the men, but it is because they
are here in need and are helpless,
and not because they think that
they should have come. The
members Of the local labor or
CARNATIONS as rule take about
the same view of the matter.
The "Press Claims Company,
of this city, which claims to be
under the management of
number of big newspapers, has
had its claim upset by bill
which Win. R. Hearst, publisher
of the San Francisco Examiner,
has fled in court against John
Weddetburn, manager of the
COMPANY, and also of the "Ex-
aminer Claims Bureau, which
it seems to have succeeded, and
ia which Mr.. Hearst was a part
ner, asking for the appointment
of receiver for both concerns.
According to the charges in Mr..
Hearst's bill there has been no
management, only mismansge-
ment both Of the business Of the
concerns named and Of that Of
the people who sent their bust
ness to them because Of their
supposed connection with prom
inent newspapers. This mis-
management, together with a
questionable scheme of offering
prizes for invention, has, Mr..
Hearst says, injured the reputa-
ton of the San Francisco Exam
liner; hence his desire to put

committe on coinage. He eclaims
that a majority of the House
favors his bill and he proposes
to put it to the test by offering
the bill either as an amendment
to or as a substitute for the free
coinage bill that is expected to
be reported to the House from
the coinage committee in the
near future. 1t will greatly sur
prise me if the House passes this
or any other bill providing for
the issue of bonds.
Senator PETER believes, of
course, as a populist that gov
ernment ownership of railroads
would be good thing. He has
introduced a bill that will, if it
ever becomes a law, probably
lead to government ownership Of
at least one big railroad and its
branches, the bill instructs the
Attorney General to begin pro-
ceedings at once for the collec-
ton of the money the Union
Pacific railroad and its branches
owe the government. and if it
can't be gotten in any other way
to have the road sold, and in the
absence of bid high enough to
pay the government indebted
ness to bid it in and sue the
stock holders for any balance
that may remain. The Secre
tary of the Interior is directed
to take charge Of and operate the
road should it be purchased.
The democrats and the repub-
licans in the. Senate have been
bluffing each other for several
days about taking vote on the
tariff bill, but as a matter OF
cold, hard fact neither side is
ready to take a vote. The re-
publicans will never be ready,
although there are number Of
them who have said that they
will take no part in filbustering
to prevent a vote. The demo
Gratis are not ready because the
bill is not ready. 1t cannot be
passed until the amendments
covering the concessions now te-
ing made to objecting Senators
to get enough democratic votes
to pass it are completed. That
may be this week or next. There
is probability that the bill oah
be voted upon early in June
but it is far from being certain.

certain that he will not hesitate to

age very carefully. They convey
the information that Mr.. Cleve-
land 10 realizing all the authorities
he can find bearing on the matter,
and it is stated in their columns
that he is hearing both sides
calmly, fairly and impartially, list
ening ihoughtfully to the argu-
ments they have to urge. He has
received senators and congressman
to q number unprecedented in
white house annals and has Shown

These facts being true-and they
are, though they do appear in

CIeveland's ability and honesty
after such careful and c~onscien.

ought to be received in the same
spirit of honesty and conservatism
that prompts it, whether it be a

believe that the people will 80 re-

who oppose the measure, recognize
