The opinion is generally expressed
now by both democrats and republicans,
that the new tariff bill will be passed
before the end of the current month,
and the present session of Congress
close Immediately thereafter.
1t is now believed that Senator Quay's
proposed amendment to the tariff bill
admitting iron ore, to be used in the
manufacture of iron, free of duty, will
not be adopted, and that no amendment
will be, unless it shall have previously
been agreed upon by the republican
CAUCUS.
Numbers of negroes claiming resi-.
dence in Virginia now haunt the side
walk in front Of the Metropolitan Ho
tel daily, seeking endorsements to their
applications for laborers' places in the

hundreds of them on the like quest.
People here say there is negro YOU.

no little money out of the women o.
his race in this city upon whom he
works his spells.
Congressman Yost Of Virginia, con
| versing to-day about the expected re-
turn of the republican leaders of Vir
| ginia to this city when the President
| shall come back, said he did not know
what they are coming for, and he die
not believe they or any body else did
They would probably, he said, make
recommendations in the cases of some
fourth class postofhces and possibly fol-
some other offices, but mono OF then
has any idea of what the President in
| tends to do in respect Of the distribu
| ton of federal patronage in Virginia
| an he certainly has not ss yet lntimate(
his intention on that subject to any one
Congressman Swanson said to-day
that Senator Jones, of Nevada, had in
timated to friend that he would vot'
I against the tobacco schedule of the new
tariff bill, and if he shall, that schedule
| will be defeated. Senator Martin
however, is not SO hopeful. He Is b.
no means certain how MIR. Jones vii
vote, or if his vote will be decisive, ant
is disposed to think the republicans vii
vote as unit.

suredly endorse the Chicago platform
Or. Congosto, the Spanish consul q
Philadelphia, who with Consul Genera
Lee formed the commission to inquir
into the facts connected with the dealt
of DR.. Ruiz, is expected here to.mor
row. He will bring with him probabl.
two reports, one the joint report signe(
by himself and General Lee and tn,
other an Individual report such as Gen
| eTal Lee submitted to the State De
partment through Mr.. FishbAck
though not by any means reaching tn,
Same conclusion. It is expected
that DR.. Congosto's individual re
port will 60 to show that DR.. Ruiz
died In jail from self-inflictet
injuries while suffering from tempo
rary alteration of mind and that h
was well cared for during his confne
ment. It is also probable that Dr. Con
gosto has given some attention to tn,
subject of the naturalization OF Ruiz ant
has endeavored to show that there wa
at least reasonable doubt upon thai
point which justified the treatment o
the case In fashion different from tina
usually adopted.
