WASHIXGTOX LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Va8ixgto3. April 20, 1888.
. a. ax. i
The graat erent of tha wek at
tha capitol was tha opening of the
tariff debate in the house of repre
MnUtiYes. It began on Tuesday
with great dignity and decorum.
Nearly every member was in his
aeat; many distingushed visitors
were in the crowded galleries, and
much interest was manifested in the
beginning of the battU which tha
congressional war horses bad so
.lisJiennifing from afar,
The first speech which presented
the revenue reform of the question
was made by Mr. Mills, of Texas,
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee. The reply caute from
Judge Kelly, the acknowledged
leader and exponent of protection.
The discussion promtKes to le long
continued and exhaustive. It will
not be strange if it wears upon the
public patience to some extent le
fore a vote is reached.
The president is at his old game
of vetoing private pension Lills.
Three such bills have fallen victims
to his fearlesM ien during the pies
ent weei;.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, Las
introduced a bill giautingn pension
of $5000 a year to the widow of
the late Chief justice W'aito. He
stated tbat the responsibility for
the proposition was solely witbin
himself, he believing that the
widows of chief justices should be
provided for in the name manner as
the widows of ex-presidents.
It is lielieved in democratic circles
here, at this moment, that Mr.
I'helps, of Vermont, hau been .se
lected for the vacant chief justice
ship. The talk is that had the va
cancy ls?en that of an associate
justiceship, th president would
doubtless have chosen Senator (!ray,
of !) 'In ware, but iih the vacancy is
chief jtistive, the Utter gentleman is
deemed too voting to preside over
the delils5rations of the experienced
old men on the supreme bech, and
thai consequently Mr. Phelps, who
is"sixty-ix years of ng, i the com
ing man.
Hev. Oiccn Cl.iv Smith, of Ken
bTx!. T-,
call to the Mt. Sterling baptist
j church, is mentioned here ns the
i probable presidential candidate of
j the prohibition party,
i AVhile speaking of this auLjeet, I
1 will quote from a recent editori il of
a Washington paper: "High hcenae
and local option may put a tenij.i
rary check on the progress of the
prohibition movement, but will not
discourage the honest and irrepress
ible zealots who are pledged to make
a relentless war ou alcohol. This
check will give the republican party
a respite, but cannot annul the de
cree that dooms it to disintegration
through the instrumentality of pro
hibition fanaticism.
"Any kind of license, high or
low, is simply abhorrent to persons
who regard liquor Belling an infa.
mous crime," etc. ,
The senate committee on foreign
relations has decided on a party
vote that the Fisheries treaty ought
not to be ratified.
The American Alliance will hold
a national conference in this city on
the 2o"rd of May, to which one dele
gate at least will be sent from every
congressional district in the coun
try whero tho organization has es
tablished councils. The object of
the conference is to consider what
policy most expedient to pursue
with reference lo the presidential
campaign. It is noi prouauie inai
a.t - t a A.
the alliance will place a ticket in
the field, but its action may have
some effect in shaping the platforms
of the two great party conventions
to be held in June.
The alliance believes in the le
trictiou of immigration to the ex
tent of excluding its undesirable
elements, and in requiring of its
foreign born citizens a residence of
twenty-ouo years as precedent to
the elective franchise; but it pre
scribes no leligious view, and
makes war upon no church.
"What have you been doing for a
living lately?" asked a very tough-
... . , 1
looking citizen of a man who looteu
as if he might le a lioon companion,
"Uurglaiizinif " k'What was your
last job?" T tackeled the residence
of a real estate agent last night."
"Have any luck?" "Yes; first
rate." "What did you gel?" "I
got away without buying !i house
and lot."
The president approved of the ct to
prevent persons in the cities of Wash
ington and Georgetown from making
book and pools on the result of trotting
and boat races.

New York Sun: Tbo shootiug of
a big log by a Freuch custom Louse
j officer in tlie north of Frauce the
other day, has triven rise lo aorue
i : A b. if .
papers. The oflicer shot tha dog
because he was suspiciously fat. Tha
post-mortem examination revealed
the fact the animal wore a leather
coat made to look like his own skin,
and skillfully fastened at the
shoulders and haunches in such way
aa to completely conceal the ends in
the hair. In this coat the dog
carried several hundred cigars. On
the Belgian frontier smuggling with
the aid of trained dogs is said to be
a nourishing business. Cigars,
jewelry, and laces constitute the
trade. The animals receive a special
training for their profession. The
piactice consists in traveling from
one place in Belgium to another in
France and vice versa,' avoiding the
high roads and the' ic venue men.
The latter they are taught by bitter
experience to avoid, for the smug
glers who train them keep a good
suiilv f uniforms of revenue
officer n hand. These uniforms
are donned by t on federates whom
the dogs have never seen, and these
fellows beat and atone the dogs
unmercifully. The result is the
dogs inn whenever thev see a
genuine oflicer. When tho dog i
started off on his journey w ith his
load tho smuggler eets out for the
same place, but he takes the direct
route, or travel bldy by rail,
caring, of course, nothing for any
inspection of his baggage.
There was a famous dog of this
kind in M.'iiiLcoge. lie made the
fortune of his master by carrying
laces across the French frontier.
Hit natural color was white, but he
wore all sorts of disguises. Some
times ho was black, sometimes he
wis brown, and sometimes he was a
mighty thick shaggy fellow. He
was cull'il t'ute (XalinL and he was
well wot thy of the name. A ptiee
was put upon Lis head, and nil norts
of tmp.s and MubuHcades were pre
pared for him. It is said that once
he crossed the frontier disguised aa
an innocent hheep dog, traveling
with a iloek of bheep. His death
was quite hagic. C'ule died iu
harness like a hero, lie was chased
ly th. it-venue oilicei and lepent
edly tiled upon. Ju swimming
across the 1'ncaut he wns mortally
wounded; but he manured to reach
the hore, mIicic he died. Laces
valued at l.".0 ll francs were found
in his revei'siMe overout.

Moscow Cor. Cleveland I.eadfr:
This being such an extremely cold
climate, wood is the principal com
modity, and its prodiifiio!'. afford
employment for a largo per centage
of tho people. I'or miles along the
river hero nnd at St. J'etersburg are
stacks of wood, and wood barges are
unloading duiiug tho entire time
the streams are open for navigation.
Wood is burned in the house for
heating purposes during every month
in the year. I have worn a heavy
overcoat dining the nJddlo of ihe
diy at St. Petersburg in August,
and then was chilly. The great
wonder is where vegetation gets
sufficient warmth to propagate it.
Occasionally there is a warm day,
when the thermometer will go up to
75 or NO dcg., but it is rare.

Tuesday ImI ween a stockman and one of

The Northwestern Millcr'a report
of tha crop condition says: Instead
of steady improvement there has
been a steady decline in Ihe general
condition of the winter wheat crop
for the last six weeks.
Insects have already appeared in
Kansas,
Illinois to-day makes the pooiest
showing for a crop of winter wheat
of any state in tho wheat belt, and
indications tiro that the slate will
prove a failure as far as tho yield la
concerned unless the present ex
treme conditions aro mitigated. v
Indiana and Ohio show no im
provement. Prospects in Missouri and
Michigan are not flattering. A
survey of spring wheat shows that
in Minneaota aud Dakota seeding h
about twelve to fourteen days late,
but tho condition of the gronnd is
thought to be an offset for the late
ness of tho season. Seeding has
practically commenced this week.
