WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, August l3.

WASHINGTON, August I3.
The tariff bill still hangs between
life and death, and the Demo-
cratic doctors are much in the
dark as to which it is to be as the
public. AS | write the Home DEM
ocratic caucus is in session for the
avowed purpose of reaching an
agreement to recall the COnferees
and agreeing to all OF the Senate
amendments for fear that the Sen.
ate will prev ent all tariff legisla-
ton by laying the whole business
on the table until December,
which is understood to be the real
motive that is behind Senator
HIPS resolution, instructing the
Senate conferees to report either
an agreement or a disagreement
and to deliver the tariff bill to the
secretary of the Senate for the
further action Of the Senate
thereon.
During the discussion on the
resolution it was discovered that
there was a wide difference Of
opinion among Senators, not only
on to the present palimentary
status of the bill, but also as to
where the actual bill now is Sem
ator Chandler raised such shout
of laughter, on the floor as well as
in the galleries, that Senatorial
dignity was for the moment for
gotten, when he said :"There seems
to be so much doubt as to where
the bill is that / suggest that it
may be found at the White House."
1t was center shot, as Mr.. Cleve-
land has completely dominated
the House conferees from the day
the conferees began, compelling
Mr.. Wilson to report to him and
get his orders as often as two and
three times a day, and it is Mr..
Cleveland who is most bitterly
blamed by the anti-cuCkoO Demo-
Gratis because no agreement has
been reached by the conferees. 1t
is not quite clear whether it was
Mr.. Cleveland or the Senate con-
ferees who upset the agreement
which was informally made and
announced one night last week and
formally repudiated the next day.
Each side blames the other.
Mr.. G. H. J. Taylor, the colored
citizen of Kansas, who was by Mr..
Cleveland made Recorder of Deeds
for the District Of Columbia after
the Senate had refused to confirm

Anthony the Wanderer.

From the Toronto Mail.
Insight into the strange condi-
ton of the popular mind Of Russia
at the close of the nineteenth GEN.
tury is afforded by the immense
renown and influence enjoyed at
present by peripatetic saint who
goes by the name of "Anthony the
Wanderer," and who for more than
forty years has been perpetually
on the move, his peregrinations
extending all over Siberia, Central
Asia and European Russia. In the
depth Of winter, just as in the
height of summer, he marches
barefoot and almost entirely do
void of clothing.
Fifty pounds weight Of iron
chains are welded about his
shoulders and body, while his
waist is circled by an iron belt
weighing 80 pounds more, closed
with a lock, the key of which was
cast into the Arctic ocean. Thus
equipped, Anthony the Wanderer
has spent two score years in tramp
ing all over the Russian empire,
collecting enormous sums of money
for the building of churches and
schools in places where they are
needed and without keeping a sim
gle kopek for himself. He is
venerated, we are told, not alone
by the ignorant peasantry, but
also by the most highly educated
and afiluent classes, and men and
woman of all sorts and conditions
of life are described as applying
to him for advice in matters
spiritual, worldly and even hygie-
mic.

airy rate they sat in the
hammock under the front
yard maple tree, putting
on the finishing touches of the
nerve requiring ordeal OF popping
the question" She had not yet
spoken the important word, which
she, to be sure, was going to say,
but began to jolly, by a kind Of
catechising on the subject of
woman's rights, when her mother
and couple of sisters, expecting
of course that everything had been
fixed by this time, came out to
where they were sitting in the
hammock. In five minutes the
entire family was involved in an
interesting but one sided discus
sion, in the course of which her
mother spoke as nearly as he
could remember, like this:
"When a woman sets out to do
anything men usually turn up
their noses and laugh. Now a
woman ought not to be blamed for
not knowing how, but the men de-
serve reproach for the deplorable
state of affairs that prevents
her from learning. AS
long as in the nature of
things the husband is liable to die
before the wife, be he rich or be he
poor, it is a wrong, you might say
almost a crime, for him to keep
the wife in ignorance of the details
of his business affairs, which, in
the event of death, are liable to fall
in full blast upon she who is not
only inexperienced, but ignorant
as we'll. In this country and in
this era of the almighty dollar, in
which so many Of the men, high in
the public esteem and confidence,
have gone to penitentiary for all
kinds of crookedness and many
more barely escaped punishment
through their wealth; when the
only thing you can safely say of
any man is, that he is honest
but, there's nothing proven
against him, yet , in such a coun-
try and at such times, every
woman ought to be made the adj
ministrator of her husbands es-
tate, just as every man is his own
overseer or manager during life.
Therefore every husband ought
to give his wife during his lifetime
such a training in his business
affairs that she can pick up with
proper experience the work if
necessary, which death will COM
pei him to drop. Until such a
thing has come to pass; until the
wife in case of widowhood is lifted
out of the realm Of ignorant help
lessness, no man can say, "Thank
God, my family has been provided
for"
She in the hammock, pressed his
hand. "Hear that?" she whispered.
"Yep," he answered.
"What do you think Of it," she
further demanded.
ats all right" he replied. He
is going to take dinner with the
family next Sunday. LOITERER.

his nomination to a diplomatic
position, is in bad ordre with the
| civil Service Commission because
Of his having violated the law in
soliciting and receiving money for
political purposes from employees
OF the government. The combined
check and egotism of this fellow
Taylor may be judged from the
following explanation given by
him: Mr.. Cleveland no doubt
thinks there are plenty of white
Democratic politicians out of Office
to take care OF the politics OF the
party, without the office-holders
taking hand, but with negroes it
is altogether different. There are
so few men among them possessed
OF sufficient ability to lead that if
all the recognized leaders are put
into office and are told to shut up
and keep out of politics, there
would be absolutely no one left to
direct affairs among the COlOred
Democrats. 1t is necessary that
the men who have the ability to
lead should continue in politics"
Perhaps court sentence would
reduce the size of Taylor's head.
Speaker Crisp hasn't always
been a cuckoo, but there is no dis
| count on his cuckocism at this
time. He even carried it to the
extent of making a ruling that
literally taken would mean that
any member of the House would
| be out of order the moment he
| uttered criticism of a member of
the Cabinet. This ruling was
made when Representative Bou-
telle, of Mo-, was making few re-
marks concerning the cowardly
rmothering in the House Foreign
committee of his resolution for the
recognition of Hawaii and the
sneaking manner in which the
| administration went about an
nouncing its formal recognition of
the new republic, after it had been
unnecessary delayed for several
| weeks.
Secretary Carlisle has issued an
order that will certainly make
trouble. for him il it be strickly en-
forced. 1t prohibits the giving out
of any information concerning
matters pending before Congress
without the express permission of
the secretary or one of the assis-
tant secretaries of the Treasury,
and the prohibition extends to
everybody, including members of
Congress and other government
officials. To no other department
is it necessary to go so often for
information, and the first time
some Congressman Of Ir)minent o
stops at the Treasury in a hurry to
get some information and runs up
against that order Secretary Car
Isle may expect storm in his
immediate vicinity.
The fizzle OF the Coxyites was in
glorious indeed, Last week the
men left by CoXey to starve were
all arrested by the Maryland
authorities and sent to prison as
Migrants, and Saturday several
of Virginia militia drove the rem
nant of Frye's army out lof Vir-
ginia and set fire to their camp.
The men are being sent a part of
the way to their homes, or where
they came from last, by the Dis
trict of Columbia authorities.

Warden Woodbridge of the state prison
in his annual report recommends that til :
custom of charging visitors twenty five
cents admission be abolished This GUS
tom has existed from time immemorial.
c F. Bollman. president of the board OF
prison directors. speaking of the matter
said that tn. majority OF visitors We're
made up of persons travelling through the
state and that II large proportion of them
were newly married couples on til ir we'd
ding trips.
Speaking of the convIcts President Boil
man said that it was difficult to keep
tuem employed at present owing to the
business depression Tue prison direc-
ton could not give them all WORK and in
fact lid not care to renew their contracts
at the old terms They pay the state fifty
cents per day for each convict employ ed
by them, but when the new board of dI-
reetors assumed care they found that three
of the six contracts had expired. The
contractors. however. continued to keep
the work running They refused to renew
their contracts if they must pay fifty
cents per daY for each convict They offer
to pay halt that amount.
The directors declined to make the re-
duction asked for and compromise was
finally. reached by both sides yielding
some points. The directors consented to
give the contractors the convicts' labor
without charge for "A period of two
months, with the understanding that after
that time they would pay the old prizes
The contractors agreed to this, but
claimed the right to throw up their con-
tracts on thirty days notice. At the last
meeting of the directors one of the con-
tractors gave notice that he would discon-
tiuue at the end of thirty days unless
times improved
