WASHINGTON LETTER,
rom.'our Regular Correspondent

Washington, June 4, 1894.
Senator Harris served notice on
the republican Senators that this
stock of patience was getting low.
by lengthening the sittingS OF the
Senate. 1t is not probable that he
will keep the Senate in session later
than s or 8 o'clock at night for the
first few days, provided reasonable
progress be made with the. tariff
bill, but he is prepared to put the
screws on even to the extent CT a
continuous session, if it be necessary
to do so. 1t is the general belief
that the last fight Of the republican,
Z will be made on the sugar schedules
and after that is adopted, as it is
certain to be, they will probably
agree to set date for the final
vote. 1t is expected that the sugar
schedule will be voted upon tomOr-
row, or the next day at The latest.
Senator Gray was right when he
said that the Senate Investigating
committee, Of which he is chairman
had been mi>represented. 1t GER
tainlv has been. The committee
has been at work right along trying
to get at the bottom of the scandal
Gus charges made against Senators
and members of the cabinet, al
though the impression has gene out
through Senator Hill'sspeech and
publications, that after the
committee reported the two cor
respondents to the Senate for hav.
ing refused to give their authority
for charges, requested the Vice Presi'
dent to certify, in accordance witt
the law, their cases to the I. S
District Attorney for presentment
to the grand Jury, the committee
had folded it's arms and sat down tt
await the punishment of the recall
trant witnesses. Nothing could b
further from the truth. The com
mittee has taken the testimony o.
every democratic member of tn,
Senat Finance CON mi tee, of Secre
tary Carlisle aud of Representative
Warner, of New York, and severa
others and has been diligent in it
efforts to secure the attendance ant
testimony of other witnesses wh'
they have reason to suppose cal
throw some light on the matter
being investigated. Senator Hill i

but there isn't much pvobabilit,
Of his success.
1t is customary for the committe
of the Senate to regulate their owl
sittings, the only case remembers
by any Senator where a contrar
course was pursued being when tn
Senate directed the committee tina
was investigating the Credit Mol
ilier scandal to do it openly, lntsea
of secretly as the committee la
began.

The Piute Indian, Jim Shaw was
pardoned out of the State Prison
this week. He was sent up from
Humboldt county some years ago
for killing a squaw of his tribe.
For some reason this squaw was
condemned to death by her tribe,
and it fell to Jim's lot to kill her.
Jim Shaw is pretty intelligent In
dian. He was raised in Dayton by
George Shaw, formerly Sheriff of
this county, in whose hands he was
placed when small boy. He went
to school for a time and became
pretty well Americanized, but when
he grew older he fell in with the GUS
toms of his tribe, and thus got into
trouble.

Last Tuesday night a wickiup
on the other side of the river in
habited by an old Piute and his
squaw caught fire in some manner
and was entirely consumed. The
buck managed to get out all right,
but his mahala was burned severe
ly, her lower limbs being burned to
a crisp, the shoes on her feet being
burned into the flesh. The poor
old creature fingered until the next
night when she died. Her buck
then packed her remains in a pair
of blankets, took them to the hills
and buried them.

Several mail routes in Nevada
have been let to bidders in the East,
South and San Francisco. They
are all taken at figures that a per-
son cannot make living at unless
he saws wood on the side. The
contracts are sub-let by these star
route agents to parties here. 1t
would serve the contractors right
if no one would do the work for the
price they see fit to name. If they
were obliged to fit up an outfit to do
the work they would lose money on
the job, and it might teach them a
lesson.

The Zee Harvest.

All who generally put up ice
hereabout succeeded in getting their
ice houses full of good, clear ice
during the cold snap. 1t is fortu-
nate they did so as the indications
now are that warm weather will
prevail for a time. The Sutro Tun-
mel Co. put up something over 500
tons. J. l.. Campbell, of this place,
put in about 25 tons, c. II. Watson
put up about 70 tons, the Union

Pierini put up about 80 tons. The
ice is about five inches thick ON an
average, clear as crystal, without a

The WashOe Seeress,

Among the latest additions to the
'49 camp at the Midwinter Fair is
Mrs. Sandy Bowers, the Washoe
Seeress. The Post says: Although
she has not been among the miners
for many years the little woman
was deeply interested in the welfare
of the camp, and particularly with
the preparations for the meal, which
attracted her entire attention, and,
as she said, recalled to her many
such scenes years ago in a Nevada
cabin.
Finally she promised to visit the
camp again and cook meal for the
miners, which was a proposition
that was at once accepted. Next
day the "Seeress" kept her promise,
and when the meal was over she
was so enthusiastic over the camp
life that she proposed that she stay
there altogether and she has been
at the camp ever since, much to the
satisfaction of the miners, who en-
Joy good cooking and the motherly
attention the little old woman be-
slows upon them.

THE INDUSTRIAL DISTURBANCES.
VIII att New York Paper Says Of II
Extent.

The industrial disturbance con-
tinues to overshadow everything
else in Importance. Hardly a
country is free from it. Acute as
it seems to be here, it is worse in
other countries, especially in Italy.
The extent of the distress here is
seen from few figures. Bradstreete
gives the result of a careful inquiry
into the number of unemployed in
119 cities. 1t finds in these cities
S01 ,055 persons out of employment,
with close to two million 1 1856, 110)
persons dependent upon them. The
number of failures during the last
year is reported by the same author
ity to be larger than for any year
in our commercial history, number
ing over $4,000 with aggregate liza
bllItles of over four hundred mil
lions, which is nearly four times as
large as in 1892. The Southern
States show the smallest increase
and Iowa shows the largest. In
New York State (where some of our
Western friends think we are all
chuckling over the condition OF
things and tried to bring it about)
the increase is five fold, while in the
Western States the increase is four
fold. Moreover, Is per cent. of the
entire railroad mileage of the coun-
try, with a capitalization of $685.
$4,000, has gone into the hands OF
receivers within twelve mont this. In
fact the railroads and the banks
have been harder hit than any other
commercial branches.-The Voice.

AS might have been expected, the
new year opened quiet, and nearly
all country products are rather dull
sale. We quote:
Flour, first grade; $3.50 per Dbl.
Hay in the sack is dull sale at
the old rate. About forty tons
changed hands the other day at $6
per ton. 1t is now estimated that
one-half the crop has been disposed
of, but it is expected that Spring
will find the supply nearly ex-
hausted.
Potatoes-The cold snap has
caused the demand to vanish into
thin air, and there is absolutely no
call for spuds.
Butter is very weak and contrac-
tors are overstocked. The supply
seems to be greater than the de-
mand.
Eggs are in large supply and
dropping in price every day. Local
merchants are declining offers every
day at rs cents per dozen.
The markets are still well sup
piled with poultry, which seems to
be dull sale since the holidays. The
demand is slack and price unsatis-
factory.
Apples-The call for apples has,
on account of the cold spell, almost
subsidized, but there are but COM
paratively few on the market.
Take it all in all and trade in
nearly all departments is quiet, but
no more SO than the opening of any
previous new year.-Gazette.

just as He Expected.

1t is told Of an adventist who
prophesied the end of the world on
a certain date, that he put on his
ascension robes, climbed to the top
of straw stack and waited for the
crack of doom. He got tired of
waiting and forgetting himself, fell
asleep. Some boys discovered the
man and touched a lighted match to
the straw and awoke him. Gazing
around at the flames on every side
he cried out: "In hi, just as I
expected"
