hone and the Republicans.

WASHINGTON. ID. C., June -l.-tSpe-
ciaID-Senator Daniel, Ex-Governor Fitz-
hugh Lee. and eX-AttOrney General bar
are prominent Virginisns in the city.
The Senator came here TO look after
several matters, bit he has nothing to
give out of any great Importance to the
public Every now and then he is COM
PEELED to visit the city in the interest %
some OF his friends. but he does not taFiy
long during the vacation season.
Senator Daniel is just ~ strongly IN
favor OF the free coinage OF silver a'
ever and whenever approached on tho
subject has no hcsitancy In declaring
his position. He believes In a ratio Oh
10 to l. As yet he can see no prospect
OF being called on to go TO Europe this
summer TO attend an International none
tary conference. Congress having desiS-
mated him as one of tho senatorial dele
gates in the event that Germany, France.
England. and other Powers want 70 diS-
cuss the question. with a view to reach-
ing an understanding. There j. not inuCm
gossip here indicating that anything VIII
toe accomplished, and the general OPINION
is that our delegates VIII not ms year
be called on 10 cross the Atlantic.
COLLECTOR LEE.
General Lee was at the Treasury De-
partmont this morning. and had con-
ference with Commissioner Miller, OF the
Internal-Revenue bureau, in regard 70
matters in the sixth Collection District
OF virginia T. is the first visit that
the Ex-Governor is known to have made
the Commissioner since he was appointed
There have been rumors siioat to the
effect that General Lee might MAKE
number of changes In his force, nut there
seems 10 be no cause whatever Tor alarm
among the employees. \ scare always
occurs when new man goes INTO once
The appointecs are Democrats, and the
collector. from what can be learned, has
never had any idea of making removals.
In addition TO n desire 10 talk about
various matters with the Commissioner
General Lee had one special object IN
coming to Washington at this time
INCOME-IAX DEPUTIES.
on the 18th Of last month Just after the
Syrroul. Court Of the United states de-
c,ared the income-taX law unconstltutIoh-
AL. am order was issued relieving from
duty all special deputies appointed Tor
tho collection of this tax. Mr. :. NJ. New
house. Of Culpoper. was appointed a spe-
cial deputy for this work. by the late
CAPTAIN Sheppard. and there was an I'M
dcrstanding that after n" particular
duties were performed. Mr.. Ne"house was
10 be continued and assigned To olh'I
vork-to help. I'm fact. IN collecting the TAX
on sririts etc Tire district IN charge ot
Deruty Monroe. OF Alexandria, is 100
large. and he cannot easily attend to the
duties But for the promise OF captain
Sheppard. that he would be retained Mt
NcWhouse would not have severed MS
business connections and accepted the
place. and quite naturally, he wishes TO
be rcinstated.
Il may be In the power Of General Lee
10 So shift his allowances as 10 proVlde
for Nr. Neuh0use. The commissioner
SAYS ne can do nothing. and. besides
If ne were 10 take a hand the same qu.s-
ton would come up IN almost every as
/ tr.cf in the country
Renortcrs for ivy of the afternoon pa
-,ors here tried 10 obtain expressions rom
General Lee to-day on the financial ana
/ other questions. bat he had nothing 10
sa'y H. did not come 10 Washington 70
tax politics. and no politely avoided an
ewer.ng any n the questions propounded.
NfAHONEs PURPOSES.
General william Malone is still here
and he does not ave the slightest inu-
nation. So FAR as can be ascertained. as
10 whether b. will call the Republican
state Commute together this year. Seve-
raj OF his opponents in the party assert
that be IS likely 20 have no meeting OF
the committee this year. II majority
should happen to be against his policies
II would be A heavy blow al the plans OF
General Malone for next year Then tho
real work OF the politician can be
done. as there IS to be a national con-
Vcnti0n.
some people think the Republicans of
Virginia will this year make their fight for
members Of the Legislature only In spots,
and where nominations are made the
county and city committees VIII attend
to the preliminary work.
