IS WAITING ON CLEVELAND,
Reed Thinks the Old Man in the Whit
House should be Watched.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Thomas r.
Reed, Speaker Reed" they already call
him, is here, but he gives no sign. To all
corners he says: Don't Interview me
about anything. 1 don't care 10 say
anything about the foreign policy or
about third terms. Let him speak first"
The him" referred to was President
Cleveland. 1t was unexpected that
Mr.. Reed should come here at this time.
He might have missed no interest OF
his own and passed an easier and quiet
er week by remaining in Maine, as
many said would be the case. But he
is here and those statesmen bent on
committee positions Will no doubt hold
1evees with the next speaker all through
the coming week.
Il shall probably remain here" said
Mr.. Reed. right along now until con-
greSs meets. Such. at least, is my
plan Mrs. Reed and my daughter are
not with me. They Will join me in
about ten days"
What viii be the probable Republl-
can action on finance during the next
congress- was asked.
Cant say" replied Mr.. Reed. Then
with a twinkle of his eye: Naturally
congress VIII want TO hear from the adj
ministration in this matter Of finance.
In the face OF the past successes on the
administra tons part during the re-
cent two years, IL would be immOdest,
almost invidious. for congress 70 at
tempt to take the lead in so important
a matter. No. my impression is that
in the decent decOrum that viii no doubt
characterize its action one would De
justified In suppOsing that congress
viii defer any initiation OF finance as
topic until the administration Is fully
,, oil
you can readily see that nothing can
be said now"
Gould you indicate any probable line
Of tariff legislation
Couldn't possibly point out anything
definite OF tariff kind in advance" re-
piled Mr.. Reed. Il don't think there
is any doubt in anybody's mind at the
present writing that there's such a thing
as a deficit. Revenues are falling be-
hind expenditures. But what viii be
done Is another matter; one. too. that
must be left for later discussion Very
likely the administration viii be full
and lucid on tariff as well as finance
and while waiting for one il won't be
much trouble To walt for the other
M. Reed had a mGstache during the
summer. He has none nov, but he does
not care 10 cay anything about that
Probably the experiment was not sue
cessful This effort was not as robust
as Mr. Reed himself. who seems IN per-
feet health. He says. for that matter,
that he was never better In his life.
To all whom u may concern, the as
sertioa may be made that Mr.. Reed "a
Ia REDUNDANT health. He shows K 81

as much as in the brightness q his eye
