WASHINGTON LETTER. .From our regular eorrejipomJeut.)^ Washim)T05, April 27, 1896. Secretary Olneyis at a loss to understand th> reason for the efforts which are being made both in this country and England to bring on another war scare in connection with the Venezuelan boundry question, by representing the negotiations to be in a ticklish condition. There is absolutely no ground for any uneasiness: about this matter, and it is probkble that some big stock-jobbing scheme is at the bottom of recent publications on the subject in England and in this country. Somebody hopes to profit by a war scare, and regardless of the harm it might do to others has been trying systematically to bring one to the front. It is gratifying to note that the attempt has so far been a fiat failure. The democratic senators have agreed that no bill over which there is controversy shall l*e taken up in the Senate until after the appropriation bills have all been disposed of. It is not the presnt purpose of the democrats to throw any obstacles in the

way vi cany wju^huhiu, i»ui iaey ua' e served notice on the republicans that no adjournment will be allowed until the Dupont case has buen disposed Of. The republican managers have l**n afraid to take a vote on the resolution declaring Dupont to be entitled to a seat in the Senate, and their scheme was to let it go over to the next sessk-n in the hope that something might occur in the meantime that would enable them to get the votes needed to adopt the resolution. This scheme the democrats are determined to prevent by compelling a vote before, adjournment: It is probable that the democrats will object to the adoption of the Allen resolution to itmstigate the Alabama state election. The McKinley republicans ares getting badly frightened at the determined fight the A. P. A. is making against his nomination, but there are plenty of people who beln-vc it to be about the notjt fortunate thing that ever happened for McKinley and that it has made his nomination much mote likely that it was before. I don't know what power the A. P. A. will have in the St. Louis convention, but there is no doubt of its having controlled at wpl the republican majority of the present House. * Cubans in this country cannot be too careful about the correctness of the information they give out concerning affairs in Cuba. Everytime anything they give out as true turns out to lie false the cause of Cuba is materially weakened in Congress. Last week Representative Sailer, of X. Y.» received from Cubans in his district the positive information that Walter Dygert, a young American arrested upon the charge of rendering aid to the re volnt ionists. had bsen secretly executed by the Spanish authorities. Mr. Suker aroused considerable indignation among his colleagues by telling the story as it was told to him. Secretary Olney said he thought Mr. Sulzer's informants wore wrong because he ■ ■ S'

luul the official promise of the Spanish authorities that young Dvgert should l>e released and allowed to return to the United States. Mr. Sulzer insisted that his ! informants were thoroughly trustworthy, j hut before the week closed he was con vine- | ed to the contrary by the official notification ; of Dygert’s release. This sort of thing is calculated to cause everything which comes | from Cubans in this country to be doubted. There is something significant m the statement of Chairman Powers of the | House Pacific Railroads Committee, that Speaker Reed had promised him that the bill, which h|s already been christeued the “lluntington-Powers bill** should be considered by the House whenever he, (Powers) was ready. The significance arises from the fact that up to the day that C. P. Huntington returned to Washington, it had been understood that this bill would not be considered at this session, lieeause it was not thought it could be passed by the Senate. Perhaps Mr. Huntington has changed his mind about the Senate, or it may be that he wishes to show how easily he can, with the aid of Speaker Reed, get the bill through the House.

According to Senator Tillman, who has just returned from his Western trip, evenstate west of the Mississippi riTer, with the possible exception of Minnesota and Iowa, will send silver delegations to the Chicago convention. Senator Ti liman says he is absolutely certain that a majority of the Chicago convention will be for silver. He expects to make another speaking tour in the near future, taking in parts of t berates of Georgia, Alabama, Florida* Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas. The first general apportionment bill that ever became a law without the President’s ^signature was the Agricultural appropriation bill passed by the present Congress. The bill became a law at IS o'clock Saturday night. Presulent Cleveland didn't sign the bill because he thought it contained unjust refleetion^upon Secretary Morton. HOW TO TREAT A WIFE. (From Pacific Health Journal.) First* get a wife, second, be patient. You may have great trials and perplexities j | in your business, but do not therefore j | carry to your home a cloudy or contracted j brow. Your wife may haw trials, which, j though of less magnitude may be hard for: her to bear. A kind word, a tender look, j will do wonders in chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom.—To this we would add] always keep a bottle of Chamberlain’s' Cough Remedy in the house. It is the best and is sure to be needed sootier of later Your wife will then know that you really care for her and wish to protect her health, i For sale by Adams A Son. m Bust people have no time, and sensible ; people have no inclination to use a slow remedy.
