WASHING TON LETTEK. [From our regular Corespondent.] Washington. March 8,1897 Mr. McKinley is likely to be much more intesested in the senate than in the so't speeches tbe armv of office seekers are now pouring into his ears, if certain plans now being strongly urged are carried out. The majority of the senate is composed of silver men, but they represent three different parties, democrats, populists and free silver republicans. The greediness of the republicans in claiming the right to change the financial complexion of the committee on finance by filling both vacancies with gold republicans has aroused the silver men, and the proposition has been made that they shall combine and reorganize the senate by deposing the republicans from the chairmanship of all important committees and by giving the silver senators control of all committees In other words to put the legislative machinery of the senate into the hands of the silver men. This proposition will not be easy to carry into effect because of the difficulty of combining men wbo agree on nothing but silver, but it has frightened the republicans badly. Senator Teller was speaking from personal experience, having himself been Secretary of the Interior from April 17, 1882, to March 4,1885, when he told the senate that Mr. McKinley had made a serious mistake when he nominated Cornelius N. Bliss to be Secretary of the Interior. He said that Mr. Bliss was a hanker and merchant, withan experience which might ha v e fitted h’m for the head of some of the departments, but that, in his opinion, the head of the interior department ought to be a lawyer. Mr Teller did not speak in a spirit of antagonism to Mr Bliss, nor did he vote against his confirmation; be merely called attention to what be believed to be a mistake. As might be imagined these senators and representatives wbo are opposed to Czar Reed’s idea of confining the legislation of the extra session of congress, which meets next Monday, to the tariff bill not appointing the committees of the house which would have toact|upon other bills, are not grieving over the failure of four of the regular appropriation bills— he Sundry Civil, Agricultural, Indian and Deficiency. Ciar Reed already has another scheme to to prevent general legislation. It is to authorize by joint resolution,- a continuance of all of the regular appropriations of the current year until next December.

There was a more or less interesting republican rumpus in Washington the day after the inauguration, about

j which very little has been heard A i meeting for republican clubs bad been ; called for thatday by Col John Bowles, for the announced pur, oseof adopting resolutions advising the new administration what it should do to retain the siis; ort of these clubs. Gen Woodmansee, who is chairman of the executive comitjee of the national organization of republican clubs and who claimed that the individual clubs represented at this convention could not properly act upon such resolutions as were to be offered, succeeded in having tbe convention adjourn as soon as it was called to order There was some very warm talk about this application of the gag, but the scent of tbe pie counter made it mostly whispered among those interested. Ex-Senator Blackburn will a'tend the extra session of the Kentucky legislature that has been called to elect a senator and will make astrong fight‘or his own reelection, notwithstanding tbe republican majority in that body. Nobody expects the senate to seat Major Wood, who has been appointed to the vacancy by Gov. Bradley, and whether the gentlemen appointed by tbe governors oflhoridaand Oregon will fare any better remains to be seen. King Hanna has got everything he has reached for up to date, but certain senators who think he is now reaching after too much are now preparing to give him a disappointment, and there are big odds in favor of their succeeding. King Hanna is reaching for a place on the finance committee, in which there are two vacancies caused by the retirement of Sherman and Voorhees, in order that he may be properly fixed to boss the tariff bill which will go to the committee as soon as it gets through the house. No new senator has been given a place on that committee in the memory of the oldest senator, but that doesn’t make any difference to Hanna. He wants it and has made his wants known. It is practically certain that hewoh’tget it. Tom Platt also wants a placeon this committee, but as he has been in the senate before, his aspiration is not considered as audacious as that of King Hanna, but whether he will get the place is very, verv doubtful, - 1 Ex-Secretary Carlisle has been offered the general counsel for the Pullman Car Co., now held bv Gen Horace Por ter who expects to go abroad, at a salary of 825.000 a year, and the expectation is that Mr Carlisle will accept the offer.

HARCH, APHIL, MAY. I , Almost every one has come to . believe trial,March, April and May is a season that brings derangements , of the body dependent on blood impurities. This belief is an old one, . is nearly universal, and has arisen, not as the result of the teachings of , the medical fraternity, but has been learned in the bitter school of ex- ■ penence. Depression of the nerv- , ous system at the appr >ach of spring , is a lertile source of blood impurities—general lassitude, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feelings, with irregular appelit-’, and sometimes loss of sleep. Pe-ru-na meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Pe-ru-na invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and procures regularJileep. That tired feeling which is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after tbe invigorating cold of winter, quickly disappears when Pe-ru-na is taken. Thousands are daily testifying to its priceless benefit. All who desire Dr. Hartman’s latest book on this interesting subject can obtain one for a short time free by addressing the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, O. To all who were so kind to them |in the great bereavement that has come to their home, Mr. John Grandstaff' and Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Fleming return their sincerest thanks. It is, or should be, the highest aim of every merchant to please his customers. and thjit the wide awake drug firm of Meyers & Eshleman, Sterling, 111., is doing so, is proven bv tbe following, from Mr. Eshleman: “In my sixteen years experience in the drug business I have never seen or heard or tried a medicine that gave as good satisfaction * as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.’’ Sold by Smith & Callow. m Do you know how to wash?
