WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent

WAsAINGToN, ID. c., Dec. 49,
Circumstances have brought the ex-
pansion question very much to the
front, in Washington. President
McKinley's speech at Atlanta, in
which he asked "Who will haul down
the fag?' is regarded as committing
him in favor of expansion, and of re-
tanning the Philippines. and it has
enthused the expansioDists in Cou-
gress, and out of Congress. Then
came Col. Bryan's visit to Washing
ton for the double purpose Of trying
to prevent Senators of his party OPP
posing the ratification of the treaty
of Peace, which he says should MT
figure in the fight against expansion,
and of solidifying his party in both
branches of Congress againts expan-
sion. He succeeded so we'll in the
first that it is now generally expected
that the treaty will be ratified by the
Senate before the close of this session
of Congress, although it cannot be
sent to the Senate until the first week
in January. He wasn't so success
fnl in his other object. He found
numerous Senators and Representa-
tives of his party who told him plain
ly that they and their constituents
believed that it was the proper thing
for this government to keep all the
territory it acquired in the war with
Spain, and that SO long as the ad-
ministration policy was legitimate
expansion. and not imperialism, they
expected to cordially support it. |
Col. Bryan admitted in conversation |
with his friends that public sentiment
At the present time is favorable to
but he argued that it will
soon be changed and will support the
position he has taken.
