10 senator w olcOtt' 5 IN International
blmeialIic commission by England,
but 1T is striving to hide it for sew
eral good and sufficient reasons.
1t knows that it is already under
suspicious of having given England
a tip, and, what is more i'm portant,
1t knows that the votes of Senator
Wolcott and the other five Sen
ators-Carter, Pritchard, Shoup,
Warren and Clark, who renamed
IN the Republican party, when
other silver Republicans led by
Senator Teller abandoned it, solely
because of their belief that this adj
mlnlstration would be able to ac-
eomplfsh something Cor silver
through some sort Of an inter.
national agreement, will be needed
when the attempt to jam an ad
mlnlstration financial bill through
the Senate is made this winter. Il
remains to be seen whether their
votes can be had. None Of these
men are fools. Their attitude
towards the administration dnancil
bill will probably depend largely
npon whether Senator Wolcott has
been cnred Of his international bi.
metallism halluciations by tho re.
bull given him by the British gov.
eminent, and whether he sees
through the game that has been
played upon hTm and his silver
colleagues and their constituents.
Not only must the administration
get these votes but it must also get
those OF the gold Democrats-Caf- |
fery, Gray, Lindsay aud Smith.
and then get the bill to vote in
the Senate, in order to pass it. |
And, as though this outlook was
not a source of sufficient worry to |
Dir. Mckinley, Gar Reeds friends
are dropping mysterious hints that
he may not deem it wise to allow
the House to pass any financial
legislation at the coming session of
Congress.

With all of its numerous faults
England never fails to see that Tho
interests Of tie humbles5 English.
man are protected in the most re-
tote portion of the world. Know. |
ing this, there is much interest felt
IN Washington in connection with
what England will do about that
correspondent of q London paper
who starved to death in the streets
OF Havana, as a result Of his having
been robbed of everything he had,
including his passport, and being
unable to identify himself or com
municate with friends at home and
ootain assistance. There are por-
tlons Of this story that seem in
credible, but if an investigation
shows It's main points to be true,
1t is good ten to one shot that
England will speedily demand and
get the fullest reparation from
SPAN.

There IS an impression among
prominent Democrats that Hon.
VIM. Il. Morrison will cutter active
politics again when bis term As
rncp Der Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission expires, and be a can
dldate for Congress from his old
district, now represented by bis
old-timo political opponent, Jehu
Baker. SIR. Morrison's many Dem.
ocratic admirers would like TO see
him back in Congress, where be
was once such a power.
