WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Kiirtilar t'orrcajieudent. Wamhngtox, Dec. 22, 1803. Senator Hoar's arraignment of Mr. Cleveland for bis unconstitutional as- sumption of authority in dealing with r ' . " Hawaii, as admitted in his special mes ' .. , ; ! sage to congress, was terrible, but strictly In aaconlance with facts. The memory of his burning words, as well as those used by Representative Boutelle, of Maine, in speech in the bouse, w ill linger long with Mr. Cleveland, who has . i iilrMndv pxnresseil himself to a friend as . .... . , , ., Deing sick oi tne wnoie uusuiess. ne will be sicker than that before congress gets through with it, as the democrats have not shown any great desire to either shield or defend him. The following ex tract from Mr. Hoar's speech is both true and pertinent : "If Mr. Willis went out instructed to reinstate the old gov ernment, absolutely or upon conditions, could little Hawaii help herself, if the American people had been behind the art? No, Mr. President, this adminis tration has )een hurried into this trans action, not by any sense of justice to Hawaii, not by any desire to vindicate the national honor, but for the sake of making what has turned out to be weak, impotent attack on its prede cessor. The great name and fame of Benjamin Harrison are source of envy and discontent in some bosoms." Secretary Herbert has got into hot water by adopting the royal methods of Mr. Cleveland. Not long ago there was a vacancy at the naval academy, which should have properly been filled from the fifth congressional district of S. C. Representative Strait, who represents that district in the house, wrote to See retllry Herbert concerning the vacancy bu rei;t.ive(1 no re,,!v, when he came to t(,e extra session he called at the navy department and was coolly in- Wrtncl inai secretary nertieri iiau the vacancy by appointing a youth "I u:- , own stat", Aiat'Htnu. ,nr. .-trim ims in troduced a resolution in the hoiive cull- ing upon Secretary Herbert for hisj authority fjr making the appointment. One would suppose from the frequency of the slaps in the face which the admin istration gives the democratic senators that it bad no need of their support. The latest slap was the nomination of Wayne MacYeagh, of Pennsylvania, to be ambassador to Italy. The demo cratic senators smile and try to pretend that they like it, but it is plain to all that they do not. There was no diffi culty about the confirmation of Mr. Mac Yeagh's nomination by the senate. He is thoroughly competent to creditably fill the position and if Mr. Cleveland preferred to give one of the highest honors at his disposal to a reuegrade re publican rather than to a democrat, re publican senators bad no objection, so tho nomination was promptly confirmed. The adoption of the following amend ment to the urgency deficiency bill in the house by a vote of 123 to 40 was a practical reprimand of Mr. Cleveland and Hoke Smith, for their wholesale sus pension of pensioners: "That any pen sion heretofore or that may hereafter be granted to any applicant therefor under any law of tho United States authoriz ing the granting of any payment of pen sions or application adjudicated npon shall be deemed and beld by all officers of the United States to be a vested right in the grantee to that extent that pay ment thereof shall not be withheld or suspended until after due notice to the grantee of less than thirty days, the commissioner of pensions after hearing all the evidence, shall decide to annul, vacate and modify or set aside the deci sion upon which such pension was granted. Such notice to grantee must contain a full and true statement of any charges or allegations upon which such decision granting Mich pension shall be sought to be in any manner disturbed or modified. " The administration men are alarmed by the statement ofj Senator Murphy concerning the Cleveland tariff bill. They know that if he lives up to that statement "I will endeavor, so far as lies in my power, to see that no injustice is done to the interests of my native city and state" it means another demo cratic vote against the Cleveland tariff bill in the senate, where they have few votes to spare. The majority reoort in favor of the Cleveland tariff bill is not calculated to make any votes for that measure. It is not much of a Christinas present for the democratic congressman to take home to their unemployed constituents; its fine talk about future prosperity will not buy groceries or pay house rent for those who have already been brought to want by the prospects of that which it so highly lauds. Secretary Carlisle's long delayed an nual report was eubinitted to congress this week. The most noteworthy re commendation it contains is that ask ing congress for authority to issue 200, 000,000 in bonds. This is just what Senator Sherman said during the silver fight that the administration would have to do sooner or later. Cas. COMPOUND. A roeent discovery by an oH physician.

The Wortl Xmlonul" Mo.t Not II l .ed by Private Corporations. One of the most important of recent events in buililintr and loan circles, is the decision of Comptroller Eckels, of the treasury department, regarding the style of associations doing' business on what is known as the "nutionul plan." He holds that the use of the word "na tional" as the part of a title or name of an association isillcpal and cites the following statute in support of his po sition: "All banks, except national banks, and all persons or corporations doing business as bankers, brokers, or saving m 1 COMPTROLLER J.

' ECKELS. institutions are prohibited from using the word 'national' as a portion of the title of such bank, firm, or corpora tion, and any violation of this prohibi tion committed after Septembers. 1873, shall subject the offending party to a fine of fifty dollars a day for each day during which it is repeated." The luestiou has been referred to the attorney general of the United States for an opinion. If sustained the decision will affect a large percentage of the associations which operate on the national plan. HUNTINO AND FISHING. About 25.000 people are killed every year in India by wild beasts and rep tiles. Deer are numerous in northwestern Maine, and annoy the farmers whose lands are near the forests. A snake, just discovered in Urazil, has tusks like a boar, and a two-foot horn ornaments its forehead. Salmon- fishing is prohibited in the state of Washington between six p. m. on Saturday and the same hour on Sunday. A O.UAIL almost pure white was late ly shot near Atlanta, Ua. The only part not white was the tip of the tail, and this was of the usual hue. A huge lob tr, thirty-five inches in length, was jtely caught by Everett Smith, at the edge of the surf, in I'atehogue. N. Y. One of its claws is twelve inches long. Georoe Jamison, of Hath, Me., had just warned Michael Nelson to handle his gun carefully when he (Jamison) tripped and fell, and received a death wound from the discharge of his own gun. The largest fish caught in the Co lumbia river so far this season was a Ktnnrcon measuring 11 feet 5 inches long and weighing 755 pounds, which was landed at Knappton, Wash., a week or so ago. The head alone weighed 151 pounds, and the fish yielded 4J7 pounds of edible meat. Cat or lingular Duty. A railway company in Australia has eight cats upon its staff and their maintenance is regularly entered in the company's books. Their duty is to look after three or four hundred thousand empty corn sacks which are much preyed upon by rats. That the rodents do tremendous damage is evi dent from the fact that the holes in the sacks have to be attended to by twelve women, who are kept constant ly employed. rrotrrtlon from Malarlrt.

Gov't Report ABSOlJuTElY PURE UNDER THE SPOUT. A Strang Indian Mthod of Putting 1.1 1 tl One to Hleep. Sir George Campbell records In his Indian Memoirs a very strange habit of native mothers in the neitrhlKirhood of Simla. lie seems inclined to recom mend its adoption in England, but per haps he is speaking in jest. I wonder not to have scon more no tice of the curious practice of the hill women of putting their babies' heads under a spout of water to send them to sleep and keep them quiet. When the new cartroad was first made, there was a village at a halting-pluce where rows of such children might be seen in a grove close to the road. The water of n hill spring was so ail justed as to furnish a series of little spouts, each about the thickness of one's Uttle finger. Opposite each spout was a kind of earth piilow, and a little trough to carry away the water. Each child was so laid that one of thj water-spouts played on the top of its head, and the water then ran off into the trough. I can testify that the process was most successful. There never were such quiet and untroubles me babies as those under the spouts. The people were unanimous in nssertiu.f that the water did the children no harm, but on the contrary, benefited and invig orated them. In fact, they seemed to think that a child not subjected to this process must grow up soft-brained and good-for-nothing. Certainly their appearance showed no signs that this singular method of bracing the intellectual part of their bodies had done them any harm. INTERESTING FIGURES.
