From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 26. 1900.
Signs of the opening of Pres
idential campaign are PLENTIFUL
in both branches of Congress.
Hardly day passes without a
partisan wrang1e. In the senate
the Bacon resolution for a Cuban
investigation and the Philippine
bill have furnished the basis for
a number, and the house is in
such wrangling mood that they
even got up political spat over
the bill to amend the extradltion
law so as te cover the case of
Neely, although practically all
the members regardless of party
favored the bill itself. # Is the he
old, old game of making political
capital that senators and repre-
sentatives are now engaged in
Even the'adjournmeut resolution
adopted by the house was so used,
the claim being made that Con-
gress should remain in session
and pass needed legislation; but
no votes being cast against the
resolution.
A light seems to be aawned
upon the minds of the Boer en-
voys, who are still id Washing
ton, where they have received
courteous treatment but no official
recognition, as they nov say that
they wish it distinctly understood
that they desire to avoid any par
tisan demonstrations that might
be construed to mean that their
sympathies with one political
party in the United States
are stronger than with another.
They expect to visit number of
the large cities for the purpose OF

The house committee on ways
