WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Aug. 10, HIM.
After more than a month spent in
I wrangling which hat lelta very bitter
I feeling in the several factions of the
; democratic party the democratic confer-!
ees have reached an air rn incut on the !
: tariff bill. Whether this aret-inent'will
end the troubles of the patched up
many-sided (none of them right) bill re
main to be (ten. Tbe agreement can
be put through the house under whip
and spur easy enonuh ; but, inasmuch
as tome of the democratic senatort
staled very plainly in advance that they
would regard any change from the senate
bill, which waau.ade by a democratic
caucus, a absolving them from their
promise to support it, and that the votes
of the populists, Allen and Kyle, are at
likely to be cast against a for the agree
ment, ita chance for getting through tbe
senate are not specially bright, even if
the republicans do nothing more than to
vote against it.
I'rominent members of the party are
urging the republican senators to en
deavor to throw the whole business over
to tbe next session, so that the will of
the people may be ascertained at the
congressional elections before such a bill
becomes a law. Tbe republican senator
have not decided to make any attempt,
but it is among the possibilities, that
they may. If the solid republican
strength in the senate should be thrown
in favor of postponing final action on the
bill until next December there it little
doubt that it could be accomplished, if
not by direct vote, by dilatory tactics.
Unless democratic senator can be made
to eat words publicly uttered a motion
to postjione further consideration of the
conference report until next Iecember
would carry in the senate. It is alto
gether probable that they will he put to
the test, anyway.
Secretary Herbert, when a democratic
member of the bouse, belonged to the
crowd which never failed to characterize
every trip of a republican official on a
government vessel as a "wicked waste
of public money in junketing," but
since be became secretary ot tbe navy
he baa become an expert in devising ex
cases for trips for himself and family at
government extense. Hit latest ex
ploit in this line was the discovery that
the Atlantic navy yards were all in need
of the personal inspection of himself,
his daughter, and bit ton, and possibly
of tome of bit friends. Accordingly the
dispatch boat Iolphin was ordered from
New London to Washington, where she
it now taking on supplies for a cruise of
thirty dayt. But, mind you, this isn't
to be a "junket ;" it is to be an official
inspection tour. What hypocrites these
democrats are, any way.
There was a ersistent rumor flouting
j around this week that Senator Vest was
trying, through Pan Lamout, the dep
uty president, to negotiate a treaty w ith
Mr. Cleveland, on the bais of Vest
casting tiis vote and influence in favor
of the house tariff bill in exchange for
the influence of Mr. Cleveland and the
administration being need to aid Veet
in bis fight to be returned to the senate.
Inteiest was added to the rumor by the
presence in Washington of ex-Uov.
Francis of Missouri, who had been by
general consent slated as the adminis
tration candidate for the seat now occu
pied by Senator Vest. Republicans are
led to believe that the republicans of
Missouri have a fighting chance to elect
Vest's successor, and a red hot fight be
tween Vest and Francis in the legisla
tive districts of that state would just
suit them. .
Mr. Cleveland's success in pulling
down the democratic revolt in the house
and compelling the caucus to adjourn
without action was not unexpected, but
there wat one unexpected thing about
that caucus. That wat the presem-e of
ex-Gov. Russell of Massachusetts, the
man who represents the interests of the
Whitney coal syndicate, which Mr.
Cleveland baa been trying hard to please
by having coal put on the free list. His
presence at that caucus was a bit of the
most nnblushing lobbying ever exhib
ited at the capitol. It was thought that
the members of the sugar trust weie
plentifully supplied with "gall," but
they conficed their lobbying to commit
tee rooms and hotels, it is no wonder
that the democrats in both house and
senate are regarded as being trust rid
den, nor that a bill has been Introduced
the senate prohibiting lobbying.
rnscrctary Oresham has deeply offended
some of the prominent church people,
who came to Washington to ask that he
adopt some method of securing protec
tion for the American missionaries in
China, Japan and Core, by his brusque
manner of meeting their very reasonable
requests and his refusal to make any
promises. Thit Isn't the first time thut
1 Secretary Gresham hat shown himself
j to be inditferent to the fate of American
missionaries. as.

Yesterday afternoon a rumor became
current on the streets that Mr. B. F.
I.anghlin bad resigned hie position as
president and ii.anager of The Dalles,
I'ortland A Astoria Navigation Company.
It was a matter of surprise aud naturally
caused considerable comment. A,
Chkomi i.k reporter was sent to ascer
tain the truth of the matter and found
that the rumor was correct. Mr.
LaughHo's reasons for tendering bis res
ignation can best be judged by his letter
which is as follows:
Tuk Dali ks, Or., Aug. 10, '91.
To th Board of Ilwtirs. Dalk-s. Portland 4
A.toria Navlgatim I ouHinf, Tbe latlcs,
Ortirou :
I hereby tender my resignation as
president, manager and director of this
company to take effect at once. I have
come to thit conclusion after due delib
eration, for the following reasons: My
actions in my official capacity have been
subjected to much unjust criticism, and
a prejudice created against me by some
of the members of tbe board, to such an
extent that action has been taken during
my absence tending toward the appoint
ment of a new manager, which render
it imM3ssible for me to continue my
present relations with the company.
Respectfully yours,
B. F. I.aiohi IN.
We know nothing, of course, of the
business of the company nor of ita inside
workings. We do know, however, that
Mr- I.aughlin has filled a very difficult
position for three years with credit to
himself and the company. The boat
line has had much to contend with; on
the one hand was the Union I'acitic, Twenty-five dollars cash at time of pur
rciirescnted bv shrewd, sharp business j chase and on installment! of $10 per
men, and backed by unlimited wealth,
using every effort to control traffic, and
requiring constant and untiring watch
fulness to hold them in check. On the
other were elements at home inimical to
the interests of the company. Mr.
Ijiiighiin'i management has been con
servative, and his work conscientious,
his sole aim being to give the public the
best and cheapest service possible,
w hile doing justice to the stockholders.
Whatever opinion others may hold now,
we believe that all the stockholders will
learn (if they do not already know) that
the solid financial condition in which
tbe company finds itself is largely due
to the jiersonai effort of the retiring
manager, w hose every thought and every
moment was devoted to itt interests.

The foot race w hich took plui-u at An-
telope last Wednesday evening, between
the professional, Harry Stevens, and the !
Antelope puiidin', K. M. Shult, for .")00
a side, resulted in the latter coming out !
winner by about tt feet. Stevens con
ceded Shutt 1" feet on the start, and the
former' Iwckers, besides ninny others,
judging from the race run on Sunday,
July 30th, were confident of Stevens'
ability to win the rac easily, even with
that handicap. Early in the morning,
Steven's backers, Hilly Hunt, of Tygh
valley, and ('. D. Beach, an insurance
agent from Illinois, tossed their oO bills
around promiscuously, but did not find
the Antelope boys willing to bet much
until later In the day, when the
strangers' money amounting to about
$750, was all covered, and a great deal
more of Antelope's money could find no
takers. Beach lost a (to gold watch and
chain, a finger ring, a pocket knife and
hit hat, besides bis money. Hilly Hunt
lost his :'.0 overcoat, eleeve buttons,
pocket knife, two tine finger rings, and
! many other trinkets. By about 3 ::0 the
race track west of town w as occupied by

evenlv divided as to the result of the
... ...
race, though the lietting then was two
' f, , . , . ,
to one on the Antelope man. After the
pe
necessary preliminaries were gone
through with, the runners took their
respective positions, with Grant Mays
as starter, and E. D. McArthnr, E. M.
Wingate and Wm. Mencfee as judges.
When the pistol cracked, both runners
broke from the line as though they were
shot out of a cannon, and made for the
goal with all the speed at their com
mand. Stevens gained slightly on Shutt
nntil within 25 yards of the outcome,
when tbe latter made a splendid home
spurt, and passed the line about 6 feet
ahead of hit competitor. At this etage
the Antelope crowd took on another of
their victorious, enthusiastic "war
whoops," and such yells have not been
heard since the time of the memorable

to his tent, where he was dressed and
was
attended by bis trainer, Mr. Roderiquez.
The crowd then dispersed, and left for
town, still yelling, "Hurrah for Antel
ope." A fine bail was given that night, and
the fantastic toe was tripped with a great
deal more life and mirth than usual.
A ntulnna ia nrw oivinu liaaKnll a mit(li
ize a team and raise funds to send it to
the firemeuh' tournament at Oregon
City. The boys feel that they are in
honor bound to attend the meeting, and
would have made arrangements long ago
only that the flood and consequent
losnes by our business men, makes the
raising of the funds a bard matter. In
this connection we append a clipping
from the Salem Statesman :
"The old volunteer firemen of Salem
have arranged for a hose company to go
down from that citv and win the
prizea. At least fifteen of the twiftett
men at pulling a cart and handling hose
will go into training at once and nightly
drills will be in order until the contests
are ran. Both the racing carts formerly
used by the Capital and Tiger hose
teams have been cleaned up and are in
splendid condition for racing. It adds it
will seem like old timet to see the teams
get out and make Rome howl once more.
It used to be considered a very dull
tournament without the Salem and As
toria teams taking part. C. J. Curtis,
of the latter city, was in Salem recently
and in conversation with a Statesman
reporter taid he did not think a team
would come to Oregon City from Astoria ;
Le did not know then that Salem would
be represented there, and it it tafe to
tay that the "city by the sea" boys will
now organize and attend the tournament
simply to meet the capital city's team.
