WASHINGTON NOTES.
What Congress is Doing-Dopartmontal
and Social GOSSIP.

H'NA uiay says tuaJ 1reSlQen
Cleveland has abandoned all hope o
r restoring Queen Liliuokalani.
D The Woman's Suffrage Association
has decided 20 meet iu Atlanta
Georgia, next year, The meetings O.
, this year have attracted much atten
tion.
There is much speculation as tC
whom Mr.. Cleveland will now appoint
as associate justice of the Supreme
Court. 1t is thought by many that on
account of Senator Hills antagonism
he will appoint.some one outside of
New York state. 80
1t now appears that the Behring
Sea decision is unsatisfactory to both
our government and that of England.
One trouble is that no penalty is
named for violating its provisions.
The two governments are trying to ar
range the matter.
The House judiciary committee has
voted in favor of reporting to the
House a resolution for an investigation
into the course of District Judge Jcn-
kins in restraining the employees of
the Northern Pacific railway from
quitting work, The vote was seven to
six.
The nomination of Wheeler H..
Peckham, Of New York, to be associ.
ate justice of the Supreme Court, has
been rejected by the Senate. The
vote was 32 to 41.Sg The Democratic
vote was % for and 15 against. The
rejection of Mr. Peckham is generally
credited to the VPerniclous activity"
of Mr.. Hill, of New York. =

Members of the Senate finance com :

If misinformation sent out about the .
lime when the tariff bill will be re- :
ported to the Senate. 1tis claimed no !
lime can possibly be fixed for report .
ng the bill until the full committee y
comes together, Besides the bill is
not to be reported from the sub-com-
nittee, ,and the members of that com ,
nittee cannot tell when it will be- ,,
The only thing that seems to be set,
led definitely is the intention to make
,he bill provide sufficient revenue for
.he government, and to this end arti- ,
,lcs will betaken from the free list and
increases will be made in some direc-
ions
A new turn was given to the silver
question Monday in the House by Mr. ,
Bland's announcement that he would
move, at later day, to amend the
pending bill, so that silver certificates
would be issued only as fast as silver ,
dollars were coined, with the added
authority to the secretary of the treas
lry to issue the certificates In advance
of the coinage If he so desired, This !
change is designed to overcome one Of !
The main objections Of Secretary Car /;
isle to the bill. This objection is
shared by members Of the House to
such an extent that the passage !
Of the seiguiopge bill was in doubt,
The change now proposed by Mr.. Bland
obviates the objections, so that the
of the seigniOrage bill is re-
garded as certain.
Wednesday morning Chief Ignacio,
accompanied by Ben Ritter and DIR.
Childs, member of the committee
which negotiated the treaty, called on
the President by appointment and had
a hali-hour interview Mr.. Cleveland
was very courteous to lgnacio and lis
tened attentiyely to all Ignacio said.
Ho asked lgnacioS number Of queS-
tions as to whether his people fully
the treaty and whether
they all really desired to move to
