FROM WASHINGTON.

A» tiilercsting Batch of New from the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, July 27, 1894. Impeachment pr o ceeJini’ against one or more U. S, Sen; tors, not for having speculate in sugar stock —there’s no lav except that of general morality against Senators making mone; by speculating on legislatioi upon which tho.y vote —but foi having lied about it, would bis : fitting finale to the numerou scandals which have attends the present session of Congress and the testimony taken by thSenate investigating committeis certainly beginning to ten< that way. The committee ha in its possession a photograpl of an order for the purchase o a sugar trust stock which pm ports to be signed by Senate Camden, of West Virginia, win swore that he never purchase' any sugar stock, and at leas tv.o reputable witnesses hav testified that they saw th original order and that the sloewas purchased, and other Sena tors are. according to these wit nesses, in the same boat. It i. only fair to state that Senate Camden claims that his signature to the order was forged so blackmailir.g purposes. Meat while the committee seems ; hist to be earnestly trying to g:< |at the whole truth, which ; w'.at the pu'oiii.' wanis. 0 0 6 I The ins.iJ.e history of the tari i Uli as given during the pa> ' week by those who have cor ; I rolled its making, is not credit i able to anybody. It seems tha 'hi addition to being, as the lab ( on. Hancock said when he wa a i’’ ('.'idenlial candidate, a loci, .{in.-siion. the tariff is also a pei > i)i;'l question. Jilthough thei' ;is nothing in sight, notwith 'landing two caucauses of demo jciatic Senators this week, t< warrant the assertion that the second conference which has I been ordered on the tariff bill will be more successful than the first there is an impression here that it will be, but nobody ven lures to predict the precise nature of the agreement. ® © ® A rumor, which circumstances gained credence for, has it that [’resident Cleveland's letter, which created such a rumpus, was written as long ago as the ITh of June, and not to Chair inun Wilson, but to a democratic

editor of a New York paper. The rumor has it that the letter was shown to Secretary Carlisle and that he was opposed to its being sent, and succeeded in persuading Mr. Cleveland to suppress it. A few days later Mr. Cleveland showed the letter to Hon. Den M. Dickinson, of Michigan, who fully approved it and advised that it be made pub lie, suggesting that it be sent to Chairman Wilson instead of the editor to whom it was first addressed. Accordingly the necessary changes were made and July 2nd substituted for the original date. The puzzling thing about the matter is how could Mr. Cleveland have known an the 18th of June, or for that matter on the 2nd of July, that the Senate conference would stand out several weeks later against all persuasion or threats m the part of the House conferees for free coal and iron ore and the sugar schedule. o o o The bills for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona now only need an opportunity to be voted upon to become laws, as they have been favorably report ed to the Senate, and President Cleveland has promised to sign them. © © o Representative- Tucker, of Va., ■vhose resolution for a Constituional amendment providing for lie election of U. S. Senators »y the people passed the House he other day, is firm in his belief that the Senate will also •ass the resolution. Mr. Tuck>r may have some inside infor nation as to what the Senate will do, but most other men who ire familiar with things Congressional would consider that it would be like finding money’ to r et some fellow to wager that rie required two-thirds of the •resent Senate will ever vote ■>r Mr. Tucker's resolution, ’he new Senators whose terms vill begin March 4, 1895, may’ »r may not strengthen the riends of the proposed Constiutional amendment. o o e The Hatch anti-option bill, vhich passed the House recenty, is now in the hands of a sub•oinmittee of the Senate commitee on Agriculture consisting of ■senators Roach, Washburn and Peffer. No decision has been -eached, but it is said that Mr. Washburn prefers the bill that was before the Senate at the last session of Congress to the Hatch bill. Whatever the action •f the committee may be there s no probability that the matter vill get before the Senate until lext winter. 9 0 0 Representative Talbert, of S. P., this week introduced in the House a resolution instructing: he committee on Coinage to at nice bring in a lyill for the free •oinage of silver at a ratio of 16 o 1, and the committee onßankng and Currency to report to he House some one or all of the • ills before it looking to a mange'in. the monetary system. \. preamble to the resolution lays that inasmuch as the House md Semite will probably’ consume considerable time in adjusting their tariff differences now is a convenient time to meet the demands of the people for financial legislation. Chairman Bland, of the Coinage commit tee. wants to report a free coinage bill and would have done so before now only 7 he has been unable to get a quorum of the free coinage members of his committee together and the other members will not assist in ordering the bill reported. Mr. J. C. Boswell, one of the best known and most respected citizens ®f Brownwood, Texas,, suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and tried many different remedies without benefit, until Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoee Remedy was used; that relieved him at once.
