W ASH ISGTON LETTER.
From our Rt-vul.ir Correspondent.
Washington, IVb. 10, ISSS.
Uoth houses of i-onjji'erf have
tlidtingiiittliL'J tlu-inst-lves this wt-ek,
though iu different ami very unus
ual warn. The proverbially noisy,
arbuleut house of representatives
Las been remarkable for its Kilence,
ami the slow-moving senate gave it
self uurenerveUy to wonl. or rather
to Hjffh ltiakin'.
lleyond tetiling the Lowiy-White ,
election contest in iavor oi uie re ,
j.- f it i
publican. Air. lute, mere is nine
2.
to report from llio lioiisc, except nn
account of its iluilv routine business.
The senate, on tlie otlier baiul, hits
hail great Kpeeclie.- until it wa liml
een of eloquenfe. Senator lMatl,
of Connecticut,leliv?rcl a two Jay's
address on tho subject of llie tariff.
in which he criticised the president a
message, charging that while. Mr.
Cleveland was a fr;e trader, that he
tried to evade I ho issue, and that the
recent speeches of Mr Iveuua, of
West Virginia, and Morgan, of Al
abama, showed tliem to be protec
tionists for their own states.
The coining tariff fijjht i Rome
distance ff yet, probably not more
than a fortnight, but it is impossible
to say just when the bill will be com
pleted. Mr. S. S. Cox, of New
York, in referring to the fact that
U10 house had been passing a num
ber of minor bills in a quiet way
during the past few weeks, said:
'We are clearing the decks for the
tariff fight," and he is in a position
to knowr the stage reached in the
preparation of the measure.
Mr. Carlisle is in tho speaker's
chair acnin. looking no worse for
his recent illness, lie made his np
pearance for the first time on Tues
day, when the blind chaplain of
the house took occasion to render a
little thanksgiving for the speaker's
recovery.
Senator Riddleberger continues to
talk, about the JJiitish treaty in open
session, and to offend some of the
other senators, but particularly Mr.
Edmunds by hia persistent attacks
upon executive business and secret
sessions. If the Virginia senator's
own statement is to be believed, it
is a pity for him to champion so
good a cause as the abolishment of
the "star chamber." lie has com
plained that no motion he has ever
made was adopted; no bill l.e lias
introduced has ever passed; that he
is made the victim of the rules of
the senate; and no matter who is in
the chair, he is always declared out
of order. He once naid the surest
way to get a bill passed
was for him to oppose it, and the
roost certain way to defeat one was
for him to give it a demonstration
of support.
It seems that many people
throughout the country have gotten
Senator 1 1 oar 'a joint resolution con
founded completely with a joint res
olution presented to the house by
Representative Crain, of Texas
which has been favorably reported
from committee. Mr. Hoar's
amendment looks to the change of
"inauguration day" from the 4tU of
March to the last TueaJay in April.
Mr. Crain'g resolution proposes to
substitute the 31st of December for
the 4th of March aa the commence
ment and termination of tho official
term of members of tho house. It
is designed to do away with the
election of members between ses
sions, so that those who are chosen
in November shall take their Meats
on the first Monday in January im
mediately following, instead of the
firrt Monday of December of the.
next year. There ia nothing in Mr.
Hoar's resolution, which passed the
senate by an unanimous vote, rela
tive to the meeting of congress or
the election of members.
The question now is, how to har
monize these two amendments an as
to enable an early ratification Ly the
fctate legislatures which are now in
session, or which are to convene the
coming fall and winter.
Another feature of the Grain
amendment is that the speaker can
be appointed within ten days afler
his predecessor's term expires; con
grass will be at work withiu sixty
days after the election, and the
short session will bo done away
wilh, by a fixed constitutional ter
mination. Mr. Hoar's amend ment
simply extends tho short session two
months, and changes the day for
the inauguration. lioth positions
are popular.

A Shelbyville Indiana dispatch
says: William Wilnian.a man about
twenty-three years of age, who has
been working for John Metzler.eight
miles east of here, is suffering from
a terrible attack of hydrophobia,
which results from a bite inflicted on
his leg by a dog sixteen years ;.
V r a long time after he received the
njury his leg troubled him, but
finally the wound healed up. and an
he grew to manhood it was forgotten
The other day he began to sho all
the symptoms of hydrophobia and
was filially put to bed, and it is but
the question of a few d.iys when he
will end a life of horrible agony.

. Governor Pennoyer has directed
a letter to Secretary of the Treasury
Fairchilds, designating tho board of
regent of tho agricultural college
of the st ite nf Oregon as the proper
party t w hom shall bo paid the
grant of money made by congress in
what ia known ai tho "Hatch bill;'
which i an act p:tacd at the last
session providing for tho e-Kbluh-ment
of agricultural experimental
sUtjuu in cutiiirctjon ith the i-rl-cultural
colleges of the several statu,
mid tho payment of the sum of
115,000 per annum to each state
therefor. Fnder the law $7,500 of
this fund was available the first of
last January, to each of tho states,
but owing to the non-acceptance of
the new collego building as yetj it is
feared that only $3000 of this will
become nvailablo to Oregon for the
present year. The Btate board, of
regents of this college coosists of the
state board of education, the master
of tho state Grange, and nino others
appointed by Governor Moody, This
board will not enter actually upon
the discharge of its functions as
malingers of tho state agricultural
college until tho new college build
ing at Corvallis, in course of erection
for the past year or more, is com
pleted and turned over to them,
which will probably not be until
April. Then tho appropriations of
the legislature from interest on tho
agricultural collego fund will lo
tn ado to the now board, and tho
dead agricultural collego of the M.
E. church south, which has kicked
up such a fuss in trying to resurrect
itself, will again become defunct,
from want of nourishment. . Editor

bers of the legislature went to him
and proposed that they pass the
suffiauo bill and let him veto it.
Tho governor is said to have
promptly replied: "flentlemen, if
you pass tho bill I shall certainly
approve it." This is the situation
as regard's Governor Semple in a out
shell. Tho majority of the members
of tho legislature who voted for it
expected ho would veto it but his
answer wan at in tho above instance.
Therefore place the responsibility
where it belongs to the legislature,
