WASHINGTON LETTER.
A weekly Budget of Interesting News
from the Capital.

from the Capital.
WASHINGTON, February. 14-SenatOr
WOlcott in speech made this week, ad-
vocated depriying the president and his
cabinet officers ofall power over patron
age, on account Of the abuse Of that
power by the present adminlstra-
tiOn, and again, when the short
cOmings Of Secretary Morton, which
were brought out during the debate
which preceded and followed the adOp-
tion Of Senator HanbrOugh's resolution,
directing the secretary Of agriculture to
distribute seeds as had been usually done
until he by an assumption of authority
stopped it, were being discussed, Sena-
tor Wolcott said he hoped Secretary Nor
ton might make some explanation OF
charges made against him by Senator
Vest and other democrats, in order to re
deem an office that was regarded as
worthless"
Representative Watson, of Indiana, who
enjoys the distinction Of having defeated
collector" Holman, isn't one OF those
who considers Indiana as q doubtful
state. Speaking on the subject. he said:
Indiana is as certain to cast her elec-
toral vote for the nominee Of the ST..
Louis convention as election day is to
come. The people are still in a restless
and uneasy state"
There has been some talk both for and
against the Monroe doctrine, in the
senate this week, but nothing to indicate
when the resolution will be voted upon.
As its adoption is certain, Senator Davis,
its author, has no desire to hurry up the
vote. He wishes every senator to have
full opportunity to have his say about it.
The house committee on territories
has practically settled the fate of Ari-
zOna, New Mexico, and Oklahoma by
voting against reporting bill for the
admission of Arizona to statehood.
President Cleveland this week notified
congress that he had accepted the French
view Of ex-Consul Waller's guilt and
agreed that this government would pre-
fer no claim for damages if France
would release him from prison, not as a
right, but as courtesy. Congress was
not surprised. 1t has become accus-
toned to seeing this administration ac-
cept the foreign view of matters affect
ing American citizens and interests.

Beyond games of cards, race games and

felders, cricket pitch. boundary and other
accessories. all of which is conveniently
packed away in small box.
The models are set out on the table,
surrounded by the boundary, the green
baiZe pitch, with the wickcts being in the
center. Where the batsInan stands at the
wickets there is a needle spring on which
is fixed the bat and batsman.
The bowling is effected by a person
with spring and ball held by the hand
at the opposite end of the wickets. The
bowler with five balls to the "over," aims
to knock down the wickets; should the
batsman cover the bowler's delivery the
ball strikes the needle spring and a hit
is made. the ball rebounding among the
"fielders," and the number of runs is
scored by that number marked on the
fielder nearest which the ball stops;

players may wish. The bat acts on a
swivel, and it is very pretty to see the
hits to slip that can thus be made. At
the base OF each fielder there in an en-
closure and IL the batsman drives the
ball in that it is considered caught. There
are LEG hits" 'byes." .widcs,' etc. In
fact, nearly all the rules regulating out
