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. Tor Trvut l.aka.

Arriving at tho Umatilla House, the unsuspecting gentleman waa surround-1 ed, and Captain Lewi, itepping to the front, taid: "My ilistingiiished friend : Jn behalf of him whose merited promo tion to the hijh rank of admiral, has also caused an equally meritorious pro motion that of yourself to the rank of commodore, I desire to present to yon a small token of hit esteem and apprecia tion. No sooner had your promotion occurred than your worthy admiral, with that keen perception of the eternal fitness of things, and that unselfish and generous outpouring ol a kindly heart, for which he it famed, determined to make the occasion one long to be re membered.

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.

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 I . . ... mmm . s. . .

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.
