Washington Letter.


| special 20 Tribune.
Washington, d. c., June z:
1t is not possible in the brief space
of letter to completely set forth all
the Incidents Of the past week, one of
the most striking in the annals of the
American Congress. Nor is such re-
view necessary to an understanding of
the issue There were many incidents,
each of great interest, some sensation
al, in the battle which waged in the
senate over the cotton schedule, but
the great important fact which inn
pressed itself upon the onlookers at the
contest and should make a deep impress
upon the country, is that the senate is
dominated by one man, Nelson W. Al
drich.
The brilliant attack upon the cotton
schedule by Senator Deliver and the
careful analysis Of it by Senator La
Toilette We're unanswerable. The facts
presented by Mr.. LaFollette were so
impressive that Senator Smith of Mich
igan said lest they be answered he
could not vote with the committee.
Senator Deliver called in vain for
Senator Aljrich 10 remain on the floor
during his discussion, but the Rhode
Islander would not
Senator LaFollecte met Mr.. Aldrich'J
statement that the special rates on the
Aldrich bill are not an increase over
the Dingley law by reducing the Dingley
ad yalorum to specific rates and reading
the bill line by line and demonstrating
the specific rates to be an increase
ranging from to 100 per cent, and that
there were 60 Of these increases in the
cotton cloth schedule alone, the aver
age being 23.9 per cent.

Assemblyman Cleary, increases the

the first $50, 600, 5 per cent on the sec
ond $50, 600 and 3 per cent on the bal

When the war broke out in 1880 be-

was used to construct pillars to take
the place of ordinary posts for sup
porting telegraph wire, with the addi-

pillars were subsequently built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet square at the base, with q
height OF about Is feet. They were
placed at intervals of about 361 feet,
and thus held the wire at height suf-

some ten years before being replaced
