sufficient number Of differences be-
tween Mr.. Mckinley aud his party IN
Congress, a new aud serious one has
turned zap in the reciprocity treaty
with France. Mr. Mckinley is insi t.
ing that the Senate shall ratify the
treaty at the present session, while
leaders in his party in the Senate,
knowing the extent Of the party OPP
position to the treaty. wish TO let the
matter go over until the next session,
under the pretense that the Committee
on Finance wishes time To make an
exhaustive investigation into the effect
the treaty will have upon our revenues,
if ratified. Neither side has yet won,
but the Senators know that they have
only to hold out to make Mr.. Mckinley
back down, a. he has done in every
controversy ne has had with his party
leaders in Congress.
a new and interesting bit Of political
gossip is that Mr. Mckinley is seriou :
ly thinking of making a scapegoat of
Secretary Hay, with the hope Of
squaring himself with the numerous
and Influential Republicans who have
been making vigorous protests against
the too English Foreign policy of the
administration. 1t would be nothing
new for Mr.. Mckinley to sacrifice
friend to serve his own political inter
ests, but in this particular case it is
doubtful whether the sacrifice would
do more than add to the country's be-
lief in the adroitness of Mr.. Mckinley
in looking out for No. /. Mr. Hay is
inviting the sacrifice by his talk
against the amendment of the Nicara-
qua Canal treaty.
a joint resolution, intended to give
Gen. Miles promotion, has Leen offered
in Senate and House, by Senator
Lodge and Representative Moody, Of
Mass 1t provides that the senior
Major General, when in command of
the army, shall have the rank and pay
of Lieut. General aud shall be retired
with that rank The administration
has quietly opposed all legislation along
this line, because Of the pull Of AdjL-
tant General Corbin, who is bitterly
hostile to Gen. Miles aud it will prob
ably do the same in this case.
As the result Of a weeks work. the
Republicans Of the House have I'M
seated two Democrats, one from Ala |
bama and one from Va.-aud seated |
two Republicans.
The Senate sat down quick and hard /
on Senator Hoar's scheme to give ex-
Queen Lii, Of Hawaii $4,000 and a
yearly pension Of $4,000. We haven't
reached the stage yet Of willingly pay
ing pensions to ex-royaties, either
white or chocolate colored.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
rom our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March II, 1900.
The amendment of the Nicaragus
Canal treaty, giving this country the
right to defend and control the cana
in time Of war, although proposed by a
Republican-SenatOr Davis,-was a
Democratic triumph, because the
amendment is an unqualified endorse
ment of the position taken by the
Democrats when the treaty was first
made public. As amended, the treaty
will probably receive the votes of
enough Democratic Senators to make
its ratification reasonably certain, al
though there are features in it that
will prevent some Democrats from
voting for its ratification.
Are the majority of the Senate afraid
of England? Their action, when Sena-
tor Mason compelled the Senate to take
up his resolution, expressing sympathy
for the Beers, certainly looked that
way. The majority refused to allow
the resolution to be discussed i'm open
session, because things would be said
that might offend England. Ye Godsl
this sort of talk in the American Sen
ate, where men who cringed to no
foreign friend or foe, once upon time
fearlessly expressed their opinion and
time after time have spoken i'm favor of
down-trodden peoples, without stop
ping to think whether their oppressors
would like it or not. Now, as soon as
anything affecting England is even
mentioned, the majority ordered the
doors closed. What a picture for the
American people to contemplate. Even
In secret session, the administration |
Senators are afraid to allow Senator
Mason's resolution to be squarely voted
upon. Their programme is to throttle
1t by having majority vote to lay it
on the table. If the s0.caled era of
friendship with England is to result
In squelching out Americanism and
our love for liberty, the sooner it comes
10 an end, the better for us as a people.
Whether Gen. Joe Wheeler takes his
seat in the House depends upon Mr.
Mckinley. Under date of November
18th, 1899, Gen. Wheeler forwarded
lls resignation as a brigadier general
II volunteers from the Philippines. to
1r. Mckinley. If Mr.. Mckinley ac. 4
epts the resignation TO take effect ON
nat date, which was before the assem-.
ling OF Congress, no objection will be
alsed to Gen. Wheeler taking his seat .
