OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondence of THE RECORD.

morrow, but, like tomorrow, the agreement
never comes. Just when new sugar
schedule, new in words, but the same in
principle as that prepared by Democratic
Senators and Secretary Carlisle under the
direction of the sugar trust, which was to
be used to blind the ignorant followers of
Mr.. Cleveland and the House free traders
to their surrender to the Senate and the
trust, which its acceptance meant, had been
patched up at the White House and the end
seemed in sight, when the La Senators, re.
lntorced by the Populists, Allen and Kyle,
bobbed up with the statement that no sugar
schedule would be supported by them
y lch did not provide for the payment of
the sugar bounty for this, year, That sent
the conference to sea again and they are
still fioundering around at this writing,
drifting nearer and nearer to the breakers
on the rocky coast all the while How they
will get out at all, is still problematical, 1t
is certain, however, that the Republicans
will not volunteer as life savers
Boss Cleveland has succeeded in prevent
ing the House committee on foreign affairs
reporting the Boutelle resolution for the i'm
mediate recognition of the Hawaiian Repub-
lie, although it was word for word the same
resolution introduced by the present Demo
cratic chairman of that committee, when
the Brazilian Republic was established dur
I
majority of the committee and of the
House was Republican, But at least one
Democrat on the committee-G cary of Cali
fornia, was ashamed Of his party and had
the manliness to speak his mind. He said
1--WE might as well admit that the Demo-
cratic party has blundered in its treatment
of this Hawaiian question: and we cannot
afford to make another blunder.' The
| Democrats "beat the devil around the
stump" by postponing the consideration of
the resolution until next Thursday, hoping
that it will then he too late to have it acted
upon at this session. In view of this action
by the committe at Mr.. Cleveland's dicta-
tion it is not surprising that the members of
the Hawaiian commission now in Washing
ton, who represent the eX-queen, should say
that they intended to remain until informed
| by Mr.. Cleveland whether he intends to
carry out his promise to restore the queen
to her throne. They naturally think that
Mr.. Cleveland still wishes to restore the
queen, and other people think so, too
Why else should he wish to postpone rccog
nizing the republic?
The G. A. r. men have sent formal pro-
test to Mr. Cleveland and are preparing to
bring to the attention of the coming Ma
tonal encampment at pittsburg the unjust
treatment the old soldiers have received
| from the Cleveland administration. Out of
$50 employees dropped from the rolls of the
Record and Pension division of the War
Department II were Union veterans, and it
is said that the records of some of the eX.
soldiers show them to have been among the
most efficient clerks in the division, while
none of them were below the average in
their efficiency records. Old soldiers have
also been Disseminated against in other de-
partments, particularly in the agricultural
department and in the various branches of
the Interior department, including the Gov
ernment Printing Office and the Pension
Bureau.
There is more or less anxiety in Congress
because of the war between Japan and
China. This is not because of any special
interest taken in the war as it now is, but
because of the fear that the United States
may be in some manner dragged into it by
the diplomatic blundering of Secretary
Gresham, who appears to have, in place OF
the calm Judgment that should dominate a
Secretary of State, an over supply of the
very undesirable faculty which makes him
'put his foot in it" every time he makes c
move in connection with the foreign rela
tions of the government.
Representative Stone, of Pennsylvania, Ii

grants to be examined and certified by L

stitute therefor which might easily hay

party measure, as the opposition from tn

It will respond. The objection that nspet

II This objection seems to be mere prete>
d and will not weigh with men of INTEL
