WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1894.

IErCm Our Regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1894.
Democratic cuckoo and anti
cuckoo Senators have temporarily
buried the Ratchet and are now en-
gagged in a far more important
fight, the tariff being the battle
ground. There are ten Democratic
Senators who demand more home
protection than the subcommittee
is willing to give them. y caucus
of Democratic Senators was held
this morning, but inasmuch as it
was understood beforehand that
no action binding upon the Sena-
tors was to be taken it has resulted
in accomplishing nothing and the
fight is still on. The sub-cOmmit-
tee tried to reach a compromise by
taking coal, iron, ore and sugar
from the free list and putting a
small duty upon each of them,
but that appears not to
have pleased either the frGe-traders
or the homo proteCtiOnists. The
former are kicking because these
articles were taken from the free
list and the latter because the duty
placed upon them is too low. 1t is
Impossible to say what effect this
fight will have upon the fate OF
the bill. 1t may be that the home
protectionists are, as the free
traders say they are, making 9
grand bluff in order to secure the
highest possible duties for the ar
ticles they favor, and that they
will in the end fall into line anC
support the bill. The retention o
the income tax has made it Ger
tain that the three Populists will
support the bill and Senator Stew
art, of Nevada, may go with them
In that case the Republicans viii
only have thirty-seven sure vote
against the bill, making it neces
sary for six Democrats to vOt
with them to defeat 1t. II report
are trne concerning to condition O
Senator Nance's health he will no
be able to return to Washington t
vote for the bill, and, as there
little probability Of any Republica
pairing with him, that will mea
one vote less for the Democrat
There is still a possibility, how
ever, that enough Democrats ma
vote with the Republicans to carr
a motion to postpone considerable
of the bill until next December.

Mr.. Josiah Quincy, of Massa-
chusettes, eX-headsman OF the de-
partment of State, will hardly go
down to history either as great
statesman or as a shrewd political
manager, but it cannot be denied
that Josiah is well up in the art Of
self preservation. He has asked
and been granted permission by
the Senate committee on printing,
which is investigating charges
which allege that Quincy was gull
ty of CrOOkedneSs in getting the
contract for printing the Patent
Office Gazette, awarded to parties
with whom he holds business rela-
ton, to withhold his testimony
until all the evidence against him
mas been presented. Mr.. Quincy
frankly stated that his reasons for
asking this favor was that he did
not wish to give the other fellows
any pointers. The committee will
push the investigation as rapidly
as possible.
Even tho postal cards sold by
the government are poorer and
Shabbier under the Democratic
than they were under the Repub-
lican administration. For proof of
this assertion you have only to-
compare one of the Democratic
cards with one of those sold under
the last administration. You will
find the Democratic card much
tiimsier in quality and the print
ing vastly inferior in every
respect. Verify, the country is 60
ing through period of crawfish
reform. But there a day OF reck-
oning ahead, and the verdict will
be another period Of obscurity
thirty years long for the organized
incompetency known as the DEM
ocratic party.
1t will be a long time before any
one who heard Mr.. Bland make
that bitter speech, accusing these
members of the House who had
declined to vote to make quorum
so that his bill for the coinage OF
the seignorage, which still has the
House tied up, could be passed
Of teaching, anarchy ana
with being no better than
men who would throw dynamite
bombs on the floor and endanger
the lives of those present, will for
get it, if they ever do. Without
entering into the question of
whether those who declined to vote
we're justified in so dOing-EX-
Speaker Reed insists that it is a
question which concerns only the
members and the constituents
whom he rcprcscnts-it can be
| truthfully said that a man who
could make such speech as Mr..
| Bland made is utterly unfit to be
| entrusted with the management or
any bill on the floor Of the
House. He lost his head, and
no man who loses his head is
| ftted to be n leader Of other men.
IBy none were his Incorporate
| words more severely condemned
| than by some Of the silver men
| whose leader circumstances had
made him. His standing as man
OF judgment has never been high
in the House, but he will in the
future have no standing at all
Mr.. Bland insists that his bill vii
be kept before the House until 1t i:
voted upon, but it will surprise nc
one to see it side-tracked at any
time. REP.

ENJOYABLE Church Social.

A very enjoyable entertainment
was rendered by the pastor and
members OF the Cumberland
Presbyterian church on Soledad
street, last evening. 1t consisted
OF an attractive program in the
shape OF several musical selections,
enterpersed with readings from
Shakespeare, with the intermis'
sion filled in with refreshments
Owing, it is presumed, to the fact
that the pastor is a very attract
i've. unmarried gentleman, the
presence OF numerous attractive
and handsome young ladies wa:
especially noticeable.

Funeral of the late John F. Randall.

The funeral of John F.Randall took place
yesterday afternoon at his late residence
on the Eastern Promenade, The coal deal
ers closed their Offices and attended the
funeral in body, together with many
prominent business men. Several gentle.
men, with whom Mr.. Randall has had ex-
tensivs dealings for many years came from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
other cities. The floral tributes were I'M
usually elaborate. From out of town there
were many handsome pieces and there was
a profusion of flowers from relatives and
Portland friends. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. A. H. Wright and there was
singing by quuartette consisting of Mrs.
Fellows, Miss Rice, Messrs. Hall and Pierce.

Lords Prayer In Thirty-two Languages.
The Russians now have possession of
the Mount of Olives, the spot where the
Lords Prayer was first uttered. The apex
Of the mount is nearly 900 feet above the
hill upon which Jerusalem Is built, Q, 700
feet above the level Of the Mediterranean
and about $500 feet above the sluggish
waters Of the Dead sea. On this elevation,
upon the exact spot which, tradition says,
the prayer was first spoken, the Carmelite
Sisters have through the kindness of
Nine. de la Tour d'Auvergne, who fur
nished the necessary funds, built large
convent. The exact, or what is claimed to
be the exact, spot pressed by our Saviour's
feet on that celebrated occasion is marked
by pure white polished marble cross, and
the walls Of the convent have the prayer
inscribed upon them in SO different Ian
guages In some instances the letters
forming the prayer are engraved in mar
BILE panels; in others they are letters of
wood glued to backgrounds suitable to
their colors. The Russian portion of this
wonderful collection of inscriptions is said
to be in letters Of pure gold each capital
stem being 81 inches long and four-fifths
of an inch in width. Among the Ian.
guages which one would hardly expect to
find represented are tho Hebrew, the Chi
nese, the Coptic, the Tartarian and the
Japanese. The Arabian, as it had been a
task to relinquish Mohammedanism, ends
with "Great is Christ. ST. Louis Repub-

American sugar prices rose "a to rs per

feature of the trading was the activity and

Tho Books Were shelved.

Here is funny little story which lie
told of would be literary young man
whose face Is familiar around the various
newspaper Offices and who aspires to be
witty. Some time ago in course OF con-
veRsation with prominent magazine
writer the subject Of authors and their
works was being discussed. The young
man, after the manner of all would be lit
erary young men, was criticising the va
rious writers and among others Ouida,
whose works he sAeclared were being laid
on the shelf. The journalist. punning
upon the well known auburn hue OF Oui-
da's hair, said, well, II her books are
not read, her hair isl
This struck the would be literary young
man as most happy pun, and he resolved
to appropriate it to himself at the first op-
portunity. A few evenings later while
OUT In company he joyfutly turned the
conversation onto the same subject, and
when tho proper time arrived sprung the
pun IN this manner, "Weil, she's got red
nair II her books haven't"
he is still wondering why no one ap-
piauded the brilliant bonmot. Louis

The City Hail Stage and scenery.

The suggestion has been made, and it
seems an appropriate one, that thu new
stage and scenery should be allowed to re-
main in City hall. The scenery is in har-
mony with its SUR oundings. The stage can
be used at any time oy large organizations
without requiring to.be put up. as has been
the case in the past with the old ENLARGED
stage. What is needed now are some CON-
10 table chairs in place of the old wooden
settees-many of them with broken arms
and the transformation will be one that will
delight every one. 1t is said that Mayor
Baxter and the committee on public build
ings approve of the plan. 1t will make a
great deal of saving in wear and tear of the
hall. The screen for the Stoddard lectures
can be used on the stage as now arranged
as we'll as before.

ran her aground One of the owners
was SO dissatisfied with his showing
that he had him removed and and young
Mallet put in his place, a confidence
which the latter's subseq uent accom-

During the war he enlisted in the
United States service, and was made

After the close of hostllities he resumed
his place among the merchant captains,
