The minority report, prepared by the
democratic members Of the ways aud mtans
ccmmittce TO the Dingiey tariff bill was de-
seucd simply TO place the democrats Of tho

There Is no disposition 10 attempt fili-
clustering or other means to defeat the
passage OF the bill. nor will any substitute
bill be prepared Rut the democrats Will
not vote for the pinsley bin, nor could
they with consistency allow It TO become
law Without maintaining in q clear and
unmistakablo manner the democratic posi-.
ton with reference 10 the policy OF protee-
lion. They are therefore adopting The
course which rhe Post and other demo-
cratic papers have Acknowledgements

KILLING THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

Tho course OF the National senate at
Washington toward the general arbitration
treaty recontly negotiated between this
country and BnSiapd and rosahmi,ted by
tho present administration TO the senate
for ratification, indicates that the scheme
will fail-the senate amendments will

II Insisted upoa by that body, will make
the senate tho determining power as 10
whether any particular question shall be
submitted 10 arbitration. That would
mean practically 4 continuance OF the pres
snt oonditions--as stated In the senate it
would leave the treaty as . mere empty

scented to the senate. lnyolvinx the question

down to see his senator before the lat
ter had his breakfast. and, after consulting
with him. decided TO withdraw his papers
and make application for the Roaring
Water agency, which pays $4,000 salary,
and furnishes a house and several other
important prerequisites. As he thought the
matter over his spirits rose so high that
he telegraphed TO his wife that matters
had reached crisis. and that he would
be able to return in a day or two. The
senator went to the Indian office with him
the first thing. and there they learned that
an army officer Was always detailed for
the Roaring Water agency, because the In
aians We're ohstreperous, and required a
man accustomed to military discipline TO
keep them In order. This was tie third
knockdown for Jones. and ne was very
groggy when ne left the department. Under
the senator's advice he left his papers
with the commissioner OF Indian affairs,
with a sort Of sweepstake application for
anything he can get.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

The slate Of assistant postmaster gen.
erals has been practically completed, and
Mr.. Perry s. Heath, who has already been
named as frst assistant to Mr.. Gary. VIII
soon have company Barring accident, the
names which will be sent to the senate for
these places are. Second assistant postmHs-
ter general. w. s. Shellenberger OF belVsr,
Pa: third assistant, ex-Representative
Murphy OF East st. Louis, ILL.,, and fourth
assistant. ]. w. Bristow, secretary OF the
State central committee OF Kansas. THIS
office. the incumbent OF which was In the
past spoken of as tho official headsman OF
Tho administration. is an important one
from political point OF view, especially
at tho present time. when nearly every
thing except fourth class postoffices has
been placed under civil service rules. Mr..
Bristow. who is to be appointed. has the
Endorsement OF Cy. Leland, the National
committeeman from that state. as we'll
as Its republican representatives In con-
gress.
The members OF the house are getting
mutinous again. and are indulging In a
good deal OF ugly talk concerning the policy
Of Speaker Reed In refusing TO appoint the
committees and permit general legislation
at the extra session. They say that the ear
is not tho Almighty. and that he has no
right to dictate what shall and what shall
not be done In the house of representatives.
They concede him authority to speak fer
the First congressional district OF Maine.
but refuse to recognize him as king OF the
whole country. or as Judge OF the legisla-
two interests and requirements of their
constituents They insist that the only Just
and proper way to decide upon a policy for
the session is TO call caucus OF repuh-
leans, In which every man may have a
hearing and vote. But Mr.. Reed Is too
| smart for that. He understands his own
game. ard his gigantic nerve will not be
shaken by any threats that are made on
the floor. He knows that il he should allow
a single exception to his rule that there
would be general raid upon him. but as
long as he refuses to appoint committees
