A Dull Session.

The house was depopulated. Three
fourths of the members were at the sem
ate listening to Senator Hill's speech on
the tariff. Those who remained were
occupied with District of Columbia af-
fairs, but little actual business was trans
acted. Most of the time was spent
wrangling over two bills, one to extend
the time allowed to the Metropolitan
street railroad to change its motive
power, and the other to allow bookmakers
to operate at the spring and fall meetings
of the Washington Jockey club. Both,
however, met with such opposition that
they were withdrawn. Only one bill of
any importance-providing for 81 gas In
the district-was passed.

HilPs Day.

The proceedings In the senate from the
opening to the closing of the session were
full of interest. The first in point Of time
was the swearing in of Mr.. Walsh as q
senator from Georgia to serve out the
term of the late Senator Colquitt.
Two resolutions, intended to facilitate
the debate on the tariff bill, were intro
duced, one by Senator Mills. providing
for an amendment to the rules so as to
permit of the previous question. and the
other by Senator Allen. providing for the
taking of the final vote on the bill on
June z, allowing three days for debate
under the nve-minute rule. Both went
over without action.
The Wolcott resolution looking to the
coinage of Mexican dollars for the China
trade was discussed, but action on IL was
deferred.
Senator Harris sought to reach some ar
rangement for the earlier meeting of the
senate and for longer sessions for consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill. but his efforts
encountered such strenuous opposition
that nothing was accomplished.
The chief interest of the day centered in
Senator Hill's speech. That the question
has not lost all its fascination was shown
by the large crowds drawn to. the senate.
The speech was mainly directed against
the income tax, and Mr.. Hill made many
aggressive raps at the administration. He
declared that Gresham is a Repu blican,
and termed the Hawaiian policy a big
blunder. Extreme tariff reform was
called suicidal, and Cleveland was ac-
cused of being somewhat dilatory.

the attention of the British government

clear violation of the understanding, the
English bill would be amended so as to
conform to the intention of the two gov
ernments In giving full effect to the
award of the abitrators.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In reply to an editorial which appeared
In your paper this morning. 1t seems That
the subcommittee report with reference
to the telephone company has been misin-
terpreted-
Our object was has been, and - to be
tust. fair, and. equitable In all questions
that come before US, and We have only
one object in view-namely. that Of doing
what Is best for the city's interest. and
also for the citizens at large.
II appears that our late rerort to the
Grounds and Buildings Committee relative
to the telephone question has been mis-
construed by some people. who think that
We were actuated by this company's ac-
ceptance or rejection Of the request made
in making this report. We desire to ray
that this IL an error " II has been 80
construed by any one. We were. first.
last, and always opposed to accepting any
free service.
In asking this free service we only
took up the end Of the string which
was left hanging by the former COM
mittee's action. Our intent never was TO
recommend free service, but TO follow the
line of action Indicated In our report.
Courtesy, however. demanded that the
comuany should be heard, hence We were
willing 10 listen to any proposition.
we do not, did not, and shall not ask
for free phones. but what we do want
Il that the city shall have what she Is
entitled TO- and that our citizens snail
be protected. II any other company
wishes. or the present one will give US
value received. we wish that proper prfvi-
leres may be granted. tenefiting all. pro-
yidinE for all. and not for the few or q
MONOPOLY.
In our Judgment. no other method to
Obtain the desired end could BE adopted
than the repeal Of the existing ordinance
which. we are pleased to see. our col
leagues agreed to at our last meeting.
