Virginian Bureau,


Washing ton, Dec. 49, 1895.
The adjournment yesterday of both
Senate and House until next Monday
has It's significance in each body. For
the Senate it means that nothing will
be done along the lines of the reorgan-
tzation of that body for the time being
and most likely until after the holi-
days. and it also means that the Seua-
tors do not care just at this time for
any more spell-bindcrs to break loose
on the ArmenianS outrages and the
belligerent rights of the Cuban insur-
gents; all of which goes To show that al
though the new Western States have
sent into the Senate Il number of en-
bryo statesmen and in fact some ma
tcrial entirely too raw ever to be work
ell over into anything like statesmen,
that there is still left sufficient num-
Der OF real Senator's to call n halt
upon the rampant recilessness of the
tyros In legislation.
In the House the adjournment con-
veys the information that Mr.. Reed
is still wrestling with his committees,
and trying his best to locate the i63
new Republican members where they
will be reasonably contcntcd and still
remain where they can do the least
harm.
This Is no easy task for the violent
fit OF frenzy into which the unterriGcd
editor from Massachusetts. Mr. Bar
rctt, worked himself over Mr.. Bayard
the other day, has impressed Mr..
Reed with the fact that he must keep
adlourning until he mu2zlcs his pack
ana puts them In the charge of the
chairmen OF his respective committees.
CarIfsIc's Report and the President.
The House also was Informed yester-
day that Secretary Carlisle had his
report practically ready but desired
to wait until Mr.. Cleveland had exam
ined ii before it was submitted to Con-
Grcss This OF course is only n matter
..f Il AFZ 1~F -
is in harmony with Mir. Clcvcland's
financial ideas and as the report itself
is largely made up of statistics or rath-
cr facts ana figures showing the work
of the fiscal year, and the present con
uittOn Of the treasury. there is no valid
reason for withholding ii for the presi-
Dental approval Anyhow Mr.. Carlisle
has promised ii for next Monday with
out regard 10 the Presidents return
y rumor has been going the rounds
here that several members of the Cab>
met held a conference and tclcgraphed
Mr. Cleveland. advising his abandon
ment Of further duck shooting Mt the
present time and suggesting his return
to Washington. This. however can be
put down as purely the result of some
ncwspaperman' imaEina ton and with
out the slightest founcation In fact
There is, to be sure quite Il collection
OF matters awaiting his attention but
there is nothing SO urgent ns to re-
Quire such procedure. and Mr. Clcyclan no
Will complete his trip. as originally out
lined. and will probably arrive here
tonight or tomorrow
To Rrenk the Solid SouIh,
Tho subject of break in the solid
South i'm tho next electoral college
forms here topic of discussion al
most every night. when Congressman
ana politicians gather In groups about
the lohbies or congregate about the
open crate i'm some Senator's apart
mcniS.
II is not unusual 10 hear of the possi-
hility that Maryland. Kentucky or Mis-
souri, may stray from the Democratic
f"'' anh iuaururatc the disintegratinn
or the Democratic dynasty south Of the
Mason and DiSon'S line. but. 10 my
mind, the gravcst and most ominous
cloud seems gathering abo.c the nm
fortunate state Of North Carolina
IN sneakinr with one of tile leading
democrats from that State TONIGHT hn
said: There is every Indication now
that our State will lie lost To the Demo
Gratis In 1896. unless some great change
comes over the lukewarm and Inactive
members of our party There is no
longer n. doubt that the coalition he
tween the POPS. and Republicans Will
be carried to the extent of dividing
between them tho electoral vote nf tho
state, and in such case the Solid South
would he broken ana North Carolina
lost to the Democrats. unless our people
become awakened to the situation and
return again to the party which has
been their refuge in the years that are
gone"
There is scarcely n doubt now ms TO
this programme and the Republicans
and Populists of tho State freely dis
cuss the prospects IF the scheme. I'm
fact. member of Congress said yes
terday that very recently he had heard
such n fusion declared by Mr.. W. p.
lIXum. who was the Topulist candI-
date for Governor in 1892.
Second District Matters.
Representative Tyler took ADVANTAGE
OF the adjournment to-day ana visited
the various departments in the inter
est OF his constituents. His call upon
Secretary Herbert resulted in the infor-
nation that the BOARD Of Naval Bu-
reaus would not meet again until Mon
day next. when they wou,l hear fur
ther from the bidders on tie two new
hattlcships. or. at least, from the
Cramps. who asked for further time
In which To explain their proposals.
- Mr.. Tyler also visited Postmaster
General Wilson and had an interview
with him regarding the poatonice Mt
Bcrkley, in which some definite steps
VIII be taken before very long.
