wAsH1EaToN LETTER.
Washington. Feb. II. 1895

for his ultlmatum he IS going to get disap-
pointed. Republicans will not vote for a
thirty year bond of any sort, because they
believe it will be given away unnecessarily
| a large sum of money in interest. Besides,
as ex-Speaker Reed aptly said, both Pres.
ident Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
have officially declared that the revenues Of
the government will soon exceed the expen-
ditures, which is an argument against long
time bonds Representative Springer hav-
ing failed twice in his attempts to get an
administration financial bill through the
House, the hopeless task has now been
turned over to Representative Wilson,
chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. of trying to get gold bond bill
through
The foreign syndicate which bought the
s6z, 100000 4 per cent thirty year bonds
from Mr.. Cleveland did a very shrewd
thing when they employed Mr. Cleveland's
former law partner to help them make the
deal, but they did not do a shrewd thing
when they got Mr. Cleveland to put on
record, in his special message, their will
ingness to pay the same price for a 3 per
cent gold bond that they had agreed to pay
for a 3 and ga per cent coin bond In
making this distinction themselves they
have furnished an excellent reason, should
any future administration desire to take
advantage oft, for paying the interest and
principal Of those bonds in silver,
The Senate adopted the amendment to
the consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill, authorizing the President to contract
for the laying of cable to Hawaii,and ap-
10000 to begin the work,
Senator Pettigrew voting with the Demo
Gratis against it
All Washington is snickering at Mr. |
James H Eel<les, who gained some motor |
iety by being called the boy comptroller
when Mr. Cleveland, without consulting
Secretary Carlisle. gave him the position
of Comptroller of the Currency He has |
since added to that notorety by a series of
financial speeches, not always
in harmony with either Mr.. Cleveland or
Mr. Carlisle's ideas A dinner is indi
rectly responsible for the before mentioned
The dinner was given over in
and Mr..Eckles was guest. He
returned to Washington on late train, in
the midst of heavy snow storm, and en-
.ered public carriage to be carried home
While in the carriage he took a notion that
he was about to be kidnapped, and silently
opening the door Of the moving carriage
le bolted for home through the snow, not
orgetting, however, his dress suit case.
Nothing more ridiculous has happened for
luite awhile, and the idea of Eckles getting
lis head sufficiently swelled to imagine
hat he was of sufficient Importance to be
kidnapped was funny enough to make a
treet car horse laugh. He should hereaf
er be accompanied by a chaperone when
e attends a dinner,
Representative Boutelle, of Maine, was Y
ight in calling the attention of the House
nd of the country to a remarkable change I
policy on the part of the administration t
,ithin less than twenty days. Said Mr.. Y
.outelle: "The instructions to Admiral v
eardslee NOV on board the Charleston in
lie harbor at Honolulu on January Io, t
eclared with great particularly the doc 4
inc that ian American citizen who dur g
e a revolution in a foreign country, par Fl
-ipates in an attempt by force of arms or g
olence to maintain or overthrow the ex "
ting government, cannot claim that the G
)vernment of the United States shall pro- D
ct him against the consequences of such al
t, but that such citizens forfeit their "
yhts in that regard to the protection of the pI
nerican flag" whereas I understand by III
e official documents that the Secretary of le
ate has telegraphed instructions to the u. u
Minister in Hawaii to peremptorily de- 10
and of that government the delay of ex. u
ltion' of the sentences of its own trbu- {"
IS against persons convicted of compile
in an attempt to overthrow It by force pa
arms and violence" Z
The unanimity with which the Repubn. Ell
IS of the House voted for ex Speaker we
eds substitute for the administration no
lnclal bill was very gratifying to Repub- u
ms, but not to the Democrats who have 81,
n predicting that there would be as many
lncial factions among the Republicans on
he next Congress as there are among 'iill
Democrats in this The administra-
was strong enough to prevent the ,'E' NV
ption of Mr. Reeds substitute but not LII
ng enough to prevent the defeat of its IieI
