OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. June IS. Is

! lldl llllS Will Dc Dlle laSI week Oh
the tariff debate in the Senate is the
general opinion of the Senators. Some
think that the bill will be passed as
early as Wednesday and some that
the final vote will be taken Saturday
At any rate, unless there is uneX-
pected delay, the bill VIII be passed
in time to add to the jollifcation of
the Fourth OF July celebration all
over the country. This early disposal
of the bill will be far from satisfactory
to some of the Democratic Senators,
but fear OF the wrath of their constit-
uents has prevented them from re-
sorting to anything like filibustering
tactics to delay it further.
it is impossible, at this time, to say
how long the tariff bill will remain in
conference, but Chairman Dingley,
who is well posted on the sentiment
OF both Senators and Representatives
and vino will be at the head of the
House conferees, expresses the Opin-
ion that au agreement will be speedily
reached on the bill.
Ex-senator COrbett's claim to the
vacant Oregon seat in the Senate will
not be acted upon until the regular
session, but the committee on Privi-
leges and Elections has had printed
for the convenience of Senators, the
elaborate report prepared by Senator
H0ar in favor of seating Mr.. COrbett
on the certificate of the Governor of
Oregon. Mr.. Corbett is much di5ap-
pointed, as he expected the case to be
settled at the present session, and
hoped to get the seat.
Mr.. |. T. Mack. the well known
Ohio editor. who is now visiting
Washington, has been talking inter
estingly of subject on which he is
thoroughly posted - Ohio politics.
He said: ''The talk about the Repub-
lican party being torn with inferno
cine strife is arrant nonsense. We
are thoroughly united and harmoni-
Gus and will win in Ohio this year by
a heavy majority. There is no sort
of doubt about it, and away down in
their hearts do not believe the Dem
Ocrats think they have any show of
success. There is 10 Democratic
party in our state, anyway, for those
who used to be Democrats have gone
over to the Populists"
Commissioner Butterw0rth hasn't
lost any time in beginning the needed
work of raising the standard of prac-
tice before the United States Patent
Office. Eight attorneys have recently
been disbarred from practice before
that Office for not conducting their
business under honorable methods.
and the Washington firm of John
WedGebulm & Co. has been ordered
to show cause why it should not be
disbarrcd for having made 'fraudu-
lent, deceptive and improper searches,
with intent to defraud and the result
Of defrauding clients, to their injury,
