WASHINGTON LETTER. From our reKular correspondent. Washington, D. C., Mar. 24, ’94. Rumors are tliick connecting the President with a dicker, or attempted dic ker with the silver men in connection with the bill for the 1 coinage of the seigniorage, now awaiting the action or non-aetiou of the President. Some of these rumors had it that a deal had been made with the silver men by which the bill would bo signed in exchange for the votes bf the silver Senators for the tariff bill; others that a majority of the House Coinage committee had promised to report no other silver bill if this one was signed, and still others that an offer had been made to the silver men to sign the bill if they would promise to vote for a bill authorizing a long term 3 per cent bond issue. Representative Sweet, of Idaho, a republican member of the. Coinage committee and a silver man, was so indignant at the rumor concerning a majority of that committee having made a promise concerning the future action of the committee that he prepared a resolution \directing- that committee to investigate and report on the following questions; Were such assurances given the President / If so, did the committee authorize them; and if so, whence the committee derived its authority? If such authority was given by the committee who was authorized to convey the assurance to the President? If no Such action was taken by the committee, then if any member or members assumed to speak for the. committee and the House, that their name or names be ascertained and reported to the House. Mr. Cleveland is placed by the coinage bill, as the saying is, “between the devil and the deep sea." If he follows his own inclination he will veto it, but the party pressure is so great tiiat he hesitates, and as another saying goes, ‘‘he who hesitates is lost.” He gets no consolation from his cabinet, which is divid-ed—-Gresham, Herbert and Smith favoring his signing the bill; Russel 1 , Lament and Gluey advocating a veto and Carlisle and Morton non-com-mi tal but believed to be friendly towards the bill. Mr. Cleveland has until the 2!Uh inst. to decide, but every day brings additional pressure on both sides. Republicans have good reason to feel encouraged over the tariff outlook in the Senate. The only thing that the republican members of the Senate Finance committee insisted upon in connection with the repot ting of the bill to the Senate was that -the debate, should not begin until Monday April 2, and they carried their point. The bill as reported is in such an unsatisfactory shape that it cannot be passed by the Senate until material changes are made. This is admitted even by those democrats who are most anxious for it to pass. That gives the republicans a good lighting chance to defeat the biU outright, and it will be taken advantage of to the fullest extent. A democratic Senator wty) desires the bill to pass remarked to another Senator: “If the republicans are shrewd enough to vote solidly against striking out the income tax they can defeat the bill, as there are at least seven democrats who will never vote for the bill with that clause in it ” There may be somethin" in that, but great commercial pressure is being brought to bear up >ii the republican Senators for the purpose *° VWttf

to strike out the income tux. So far no binding agreement has’been made by republican Senators us to how they shall vole,' but it is probable that some sort of an arrangement will be made to keep their votes , together. Although there is an individual here who styles himself the “local | representative of Coxey’s commonweal army” and he has been around the Capital distributing maps and pamplets relating to the proposed march on Washington to whoever would accept them, the whole business is regarded by Congressmen generally as nothing more than a hoax, although some of the populists are accused of believing in the scheme hut not one of them has said .so publicly. Coxye’s army will turn 'out to be about the same sort of an army us the lt((),()(M) men that one, I Henry Watterson, once upon a time I threatened to bring to Washington to forcibly imigurate Samuel J. Tilden President. General Watterson | changed his mind before the time : arrived, and if Gen. Coxey doesn’t change his mind he will probably consent to have at least three ciphers struck out of his figures representing the strength of his army before he gets here with it. Chairman Manley of the republican National committee was in i Washington this week. He says the committee is anxious to hear from any republican who lias a suggestion to offer either for or against the proposed change in allotting the | representation at National eou- ! ventions, which will materially re1 duee the representation of the hopeless democratic states and that nothing will be definitely decided until it is endorsed by the sentiment of the party.

EASIER SUNDAY. A Duv of NiiccUl SrrvU'i'H in Hope. Despite the cold weather attending the dawning of Easter tliis year, the hand was out arousing our citizens to attend the early morning services at the Moravian church. In the early lours while yet the orient was scarcely streaked with gray betokening another dawn, the large audience room of the Moravian church was filled to hear the services peculiar to that denomination. The decorations of the church were very beautiful. The large white cross in the centre of the pulpit rising from pyramid of flowers, while on either side stood smaller crosses, calling to mind the scene nearly two thousand years ago on Cavalry. The music was good and was enjoyed by the audience. The services in the cemetery which followed were enjoyed so far as the chilly air of the morning permitted. Special my sic was rendered at each service during the, day. At 10:30 the M. E. church held its Easter service in the audience room which was filled to hear the exercises. Tile program, which consisted of music, responsive readings and recitations, all in commemoration of the resurrection, was excellently rendered. Not, a .tiling occurred to mar the happiness of the hour. The decorations under the charge of Mcsdames Robbins, Holder and Droneberger were very creditable and many remarked their simple beauty. The usual collection for, missionary purposes was taken at the close of the services. In the afternoon the same exercise was rendered at the St Louis school. Despite , the many services which wore open to church goers during the day and the cold wind of the. evening, the children's service at (1:45 p. m. at the Moravian church was ve 1 a. tended, a large number of y, ung people being present. Several Easter anthems were rendered by members of the Sunday-school cud choir with spirit and excellent effect. The address of the pastor was a familiar description of three appearances of Jesus after his resumption, the beautiful Easter decoration being used us an illustration of the resurrection life possible through Jesus Christ the risen Savior. The service was much enjoyed. The inspiration and power of the organ was specially marked at all the services. While a company lingered at the door held by the strains of a sweet and soulful postiude the n mark was made by a visitor. • - 1 can’t go away while that organ is playing."
