CANS ARE USING HIM AS A CATSPAW.
Washington. Dec 10 (SpeciaD- Representative
Bailey Of Texas, worked himself into state OF
furious Indignation to-day against any and all
persons who had said or intmated that he had been
or was being used as a catspaw by Speaker Reed
and the other Republican leaders In the House TO
pull their party political chestnuts from the fire
and he used some severe language. In this case IL
must be said that Mr.. Baeys wrath vas righteous
as well as fiery. for the suggestion or chargr
agains, him grew out Of his expression Of opinion
that General Wheeler of Alabama by accepting
and acting under commission In the Volunteer
Army had vacated his seat a Representative
I'm Congress 1t is well known that NJ. Bailey has
held this opinion ever since General Wheeler ac-
ceptcd an appointment In the military service. IN
which he has won distinction and II is late in the
day TO accuse him of being a Republican catspaw
when he reiterates that opinion and expresses de-
termination TO act on IT, whether It be sound one
or not Besides, 1t ought not 10 be forgotten thAt
Mr.. Bailey regards himself not only as great con-
stitutional lawyer but chosen guardian or the
Constitution Of the United States-a worthy suc-
cessor of Judge Reagan. of his S,ate-and II Is I'M
lust TO say the least TO mpute unworthy or puerie
motives to him in the case Of General wheeler
who Is a member of his own party.
At the close OF his remarks to-day Mr.. Bailey. as
a matter of high privilege. offered the following
resolution. which was appropriately referred:
Resolved That the Committee on Judiciary he

Washington. Dec. l9.-The negotiations for a
new commercial treaty between the United States
have failed. for the time being "a least.
The Peruvian Government having denounced the
existing treaty. ii will terminate October and
the two countries will be left without special ar
rangement for the regulation OF their commercial
intercourse. The consequence will be that until
another treaty is effected merchants will be sub

not now imposed. IL is supposed here that Peru was
induced 10 abrogate the treaty because Il con-
tanned the most favored nation clause the object
being to secure freedom enter into some special
