WASHINGTON LETTER.
OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
Washington, May 90, 1895

Washington, May 90, 1896
circumstances unimportant in
themselves have brought Republi-
can Presidential possibilities very
much to the front in Washington
during the past few DAYS. Ex.
Speaker Reed was in Washington
Tor few hours last week, and al
though his visit was to see a sick
friend-Representative Hit. of
llllnoiS,-it started Presidential
gossip, as he is generally recogniz-
ed as one of the leading candi-
dates for the Republican nomina-
tion. Gen. Harrisons visit to
New York has also furnished food
for gossip. Col. Michener, of Indi-
ana, a close friend of Gen. Harri-
son who has a law office in Wash
ington, says of that visit: General
Harrison has been to New Jersey
to receive a medal from the hiSto-
rical society of that State, and is
now in New York TO sit for a DOR
trait which is to be hung in the
White House. That is his real
business in New York. although
he may also attend to some law
business. When asked bluntly
whether Gen. Harrison was a can
didate for the nomination. Col
Michener replied: ''He saws he is
not and changed the subject.
EX Senator Warren Miller. of |
New y lork, at present in Wash |
inton, says on the subject of the
next Republican nominee: "Idon'tll

THE BEE BUZZ,

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEE
Sindbad, the sailor, on one of his adven-
turous voyages was shipwrecked and cast
alone upon strange island, where he
met with monster which appeared to
him in the form of decrepit old man who
made signs to him that he wanted to get
upon his shoulders and be taken across
the brook. Sindbad, thinking to do him
a good service, consented; whereupon
the Old Man of the Sea nimbly seated
himself on the sailors shoulders and i'm
mediately proceeded to choke him until
he tainted away. .-.-
Once seated on Sindbad's shoulders
with his legs around his neck be forced
his victim to do his will and never let 60
day or night, and only loosened his hold
sufficiently to let him breathe. In the
sailors own words: He never Quilted
his hold during the day, and when wish
ed to rest at night, he laid himself on the
ground with me, always fixed to my
neck. He never failed to awaken me in
the morning, which he effected by push
ing me, and then he made me get up and
walk, kicking me all the time. Conceive,
gentlemen, the plague of bearing this
burden: without the possibility of get

and some grapes and he made some wine
and drank some of it and it gave him
new vigor, and raised his spirits so high
that he sang and danced as he went along.
Whereupon the old man was so pleased
with the effect that he wanted some too
and getting boosy, by degrees the grip
of his legs was loosened, Sindbad threw
him off and took large stone and crush
ed him to death.
And L wonder whether this was not the
original discovery of Tammany politics.
