Mr.. Wright did not believe there would be

VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Mr.. Swanson Says Senator Daniel VIII
BE Reelected.

Senator Daniel will be reelected Sen
ator from Virginia. said Representative
today "A regular democrat will be nom-
mated and elected governor We don't rro-
pose to nominate any man for that position
Who shrked his duty in November. or who
was against U.s.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Swanson said:
There will be no tariff legislation this
winter, and an extra session will be called.
There will be a long wrangle over the tariff,
and it is possible that tariff legislation may
be defeated in an extra session.
As to Cuba, / am in favor of doing all
that can be done at once. l have no idea
what President Cleveland will do but he is
a man of surprises. My belief is that the
Cuban policy of the mex: admins tration
will be much stronger than that of the
present administra tion.''
Mr.. Swanson. in talking of Virginia poll
tics, had nothing to say about the publish
ed talk thai Gen. Lee will be put forward
as a candidate for governor. His quoted
remarks. however. apparently cover the
case of Gen. Lee. Among Firginians in the
city 1T is said that there is not the remotest
possibility that Gen. Lee can be nomna ted
for governor. His money views will COM
pletely shut him off from hoaors OF tina:
kind for some time to come.

MIR. UPDEGRAFF,s VIEWS.
Does Not Think the Senate VIII Act
on the DinGIey Bill.

on the DinGIey Bill.
Representative Updegraff of Iowa arrived
in Washington late yesterday. Speaking
probably be very good thing if the Ding
ley bill could be passed at this session as
temporary measure, but 1 do not think
the Senate is going to act on it,
DO you think it might be helped through
by adding provision for the retirement of
the greenbacks?" was asked.
Il don't see that that would help it
of great haste to ell act currency legislation.
1 do not think there is any immediate need
for it. We have elected a President who
will never sign free silver bill, and the
country may rest assured that there is no
danger from silver for at least four years
Our money Is good enough, We have the
gold standard and there will be a revival
of confidence, without anything to disturb
protect our industries and thus give en-
ployment to our people.
I'm my part Of the country there has been
an Improvement siEce the election There
Is not as much money as we should like
and there cannot be as long as we buy
products Of labor abroad; but with the
opening up of cur mills and factories and
toe general protection or -Amer:can pro-
ducts. 1t will be forpd that there Is moth
ing the matter with our money. As to the
retirement of the greenbacks. there are
some republicans who are In doubt. It is
not certain that they want the greenbaoks
retired. 1t Is all right to make the effort
but 1t is not werth while to count on aIy

NO TARIFF LEGISLATIOC.
Representative Breyvsfer's Views as I
What Congress- Will Do

Representative Brewster of New York
said today that he did not think there
would be any tariff legislation at this ses-
sion. The next Congress, he thought,
would adopt a moderate republican revenue
measure. with the customs duties so dis
tributed as to give ample protection to our
industries, both farming and manufactur-
ing. He said he thought this would be
done promptly. and he doubted there being
any necessity for financial legislation.
With surplus ot revenue in the treas
ury and activity in business under the in
fiuence of protect ton. he said he thought
that our finances would take care of them
selves. When people are employed they
do not think of finance" he said when
they are idle they become financiers."
Mr.. Brewster said that he was in doubt
as to what might be done in the Cuban
matter. AS to Hawaii, he said he thought
the next Congress would take such action
as would add another state to the Union
within two years.
A number of prominent bankers in New
York with whom he had talked were very
anxious. he said that Mr. Hanna should
be made Secretary of the Treasury.

TO END AGITAr1oN.
Representative BnrthOldt Thinks

Representative BmrthOldt Thinks a
Tariff Bill SHOULD Pass at Once.
Representative Eartholdt of Missouri is
one of the new arrivals who thinks tariff
measure ought to be passed at the session
Of Congress which begins Monday and end
the matter of tariff legislation. "I believe
in passing tariff legislation at this ses-
sion," Mr. Bartholdt said. THAT is the
feeling Of western people, and especially
of the business men. They want all agi-
tation ended as quickly as possible. We
could pass bill, not on high protective
lines. which would yield enough revenue
AS to President Cleveland's signature,
think we could make the bill such one
as a patriotic President would allow to
become. law without his signature"
Mr.. Bartholdt said he Was in favor Of
granting belligerent rights to the Cubans
Immediately If it can be done. Lets have
no delay" he said. II want to see reso-
luton passed which will require the Presi-
dents signature"
Mr.. Bartholdt received 1900 majority in
his district in the recent election, the larg-
est majority given any republican in the
state. His majority was practically all
the majority the republicans got in the
state. My district is largely composed
of Germans" said MIR. Bartholdt. "and ir-
respective of party, they voted for McKin-
ley and sound money. 1t was the same
everywhere. / believe the Germans saved
many of the middle western states"

AN EXTRA SESSION.
That Is Believed to Have Been De-
cidel UpOn by Mini. Mckinley.

There is practically no longer any doubt
of the intention Of President -elect Mckinley
to convene the Fifty-fifth Congress in ex-
traordinary session early mex; spring. There
were several arrivals Of friends and conf
dantS of Maj Mckinley's direct from Can
ton today, who bring the very positive an
nouncement that a call for special session
to be convened few days after the 4th of
March has been decided upon. 1t IS stated
by men in a position to know that this de-
cision has been definitely reached by Mr..
Mckinley since his consultation with Mr..
Dingley, chairman of the committee on
ways and means. and that Mr.. Dingley has
been intrusted with the privilege of making
known this intention at the proper time.
Senator Thurston, one Of the latest arrivals
from Canton, expressed today in the most
positive terms the conviction that an eX-
ira session will be called. The Senator was
one of the earliest and stanchest sup
porters of Mr.. Mckinley, and there is every
reason for believing that his utterance is
inspired to degree, though the Senator
himself declines to say that such is the
case
"All I can say" he said today, '.is that
l have very recently seen Maj. Mckinley
and that 1 am convinced a session Of the
next Congress will be called for about the
18th Of March. That ought to be satis-
factory. l cannot quote any one, but do
not consider that there is any doubt On the
point"
Shall we have the extra session regard
less of the result of the senatorial cleo
tions this winterY'was asked. -.
Yes. The complexion of the Senate will
not be allowed to influence the decision at
all. The republican administration has
been elected under a pledge to the people
to reform the tariff; and its duty to the
country is to proceed about that business
at the earliest possible moment and either
to keep its pledge or make it manifest that
it is impossible to do so. 1 think we ought
to secure a tariff which could be put into
effect by the beginning of the next fiscal
year"
Senator Thurston said he Atd not consider
the passage OF the Dingley bill at the short
session as probable.

MIR. DINGLEY SILENT.
He Has Nothing to Add to His Recent
Public Statements.

Representative Dingley of Maine arrived
in Washington this morning from Canton
ard is at the Hamilton. When seen by a
Star reporter Mr.. Dingley said that he
did not desire TO add anything to the in
terview with him which has already been
published in The Star That stated" he
said. precisely what 1 would have to say
and 1 do not desire to change it in any
way" He declined to discuss the ca binet
question or anything relating to his visit
to Maj. Mckinley. In response to an in
quiry concerning the Cuban question ne
said that that matter depended on the
information which the President might con-
vey to Congress. AS far as the public were
informed there was nothing new in the
situation. Diplomatic questions he said,
should generally be left to the administra-
ton and not handled by Congress. If he
had to Judge by what was publicly known
about the situation he would infer that
there would be no radical action by this
country at this time. He added, however
that there might be important develop
nents and conditions which the public were
not Informed Of. He could not tell.

'If the republicans, however, want to pass

the sooner they will prepare their own

will be to satisfy the people here"
Mr.. Hanna and his companions went
through the Boston House. when they call
ed there to see Mr.. Woodward this morn
ing, and the inmensity of the establish

agement evidently impressed the party
very favorably with the executive ability
of the gentlemen who direct it's fortunes
The impression made by Chairman Hanna
on the newspaper men and others who
have visited him today has been of most
pleasant desc ription and the remarks upon
his amiability and genial courtesy were
almost enthusiastic. He received one and

No doubt is felt that Chairman Hanna
will formally notify Mr.. S. w. Woodward

inaugural committee Monday, and that the
latter will accept and at set in mo-
