Congressional Investigations are never
treated with any too much respect in
Washington, because very few of them
have ever been 80 conducted as to COM
mand the respect Of unprejudiced per-
sons. Present indications are that the
investigation of the expenditures and
receipts in Cuba, since it has been un-
der American control, ordered by reso'
luton adopted by the Senate ut the
last session of Congress, when the Nicely
case was disgusting honest people, will
be no exception to the rule. The Sen
ate committee on relation with Cuba
was charged with making this investi-
CATION, and as starter, it called on the
war and other departments for a COM
plete statement of moneys handled in
Cuba. Although that was months ago,
the committee only held its second
meeting several days ago, and after care.
fully excluding the newspaper men,
solemnly adopted motion to adjourn

cause the information asked tor was
not complete, which probably means
that no actual investigation will ever
be made by the Senators. Some day
they may make report on the figures
submitted to them by the departments.

That the cut in war taxes cannot be
made very deep by this Congress is
made apparent by Secretary Cages es-
Inmates for the current and next fiscal
Year. This year the excess Of receipts
over expenditures will be about $780,
100000, but the estimate for the next
fiscal year is that it will only be $780,
100000, if the war taxes are undis-
turbed and the present average of re-
eeipts therefrom be maintained. That
is why it is not believed that the bill
for the revision of the war taxes, which
ia now being considered by the Ways
and Means committee Of the House,
will reduce the war taxes more than
$l5,0OO,0 0O0;and if the wrangling among
the various interest seeking a reduction
or repeal Of some of the war taxes, gets
too warm, there may be no reduction at

WASHINGTON LETTER

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 10TH, 1900.
A quorm of the Senate could easily
be mustered in Washington today. Sen
ators of the dominant party are talking
very cautiously Of what will be done at
this session of Congress, and some Of
the most influential Of them are frown-
Ing down the idea Of reducing the rep
resentation in Congress and the electoral
college of those Southern states which
have constitutionally disfranchised some
of their voters, and the President is also
being quoted against the scheme, which
now seems to have next to no chance
of going through. Minority Senators
are reticent. They say that it depends
entirely upon the attitude of the major
ity whether the session is business one
or a political bear garden. Senator
Harris, OF Kansas, one Of the minority
said:-"We face grave questions that
must be solved snd they ought to be
acted upon with all the wisdom and
foresight the nation can summon. 1t
would be folly for the republicans to
prevent harmonious action on those
subjects by angerlng the minority by
the passage of q reapportioument bill
that would decrease representation from
the Southern states. I do not believe
the republicans will try such thing.
They want harmony at this session OF
Congress"
