WASHINGTON LETTER.

Secretary Gage showed his contempt
for public opinion when he ordered some
thing like million dollars day-the
ceipts of the government for internal
revenue tsxes-deposited in favored
New York bank, pending distribution
among other national banks, but he may
find himself in hot water on account of
that order, as Senator is quoted as
having said of the order:
"The only satisfaction Secretary Gage
vonchsafes to the country is that it is q
confidential arrangement between the
Treasury and the bank That is q
queer way to talk about the govern
ment's transactions, and wouldn't be
surprised If an. effort should be made in
the Senate to ask some sharp questions
about it. remember that q big muss
was kicked up during Mr.. Cleveland's
standardization because much smaller
sum 81 government money was deposit
ed in widely scattered banks. In jack
sons time the same question was raised
and the country sat down hard. on the
scheme" ~
While there has been no agreement to
that effect, the general tendency of talk
among democratic Senators indicates 9
strong desire on their part to force q
test vote on some of the numerous Phil
ippine resolutions which are now on the
table, whence they can be called up at
any time, in order that II may be posi-
lively known whether majority of the

ley's policy Of imperialism There is
also some talk of the sdvissbility of q
