WASHINGTON.
Nows of tho Week From Our Regular Cor
respondent at tho Capital.
Washington-. .Iiii'o.'i, tll.
Editor Okkho.v Scout:
It requires no extraordinary percep
tive powers to see that the present is a
period of great uncertainty with tho
politicians. When they drop into
Washington they are as eager as news
paper men to gather each otlierV
views. They will talk to you for half
an hour and tell vou things that would
make a stir if printed in connection
with their names, but they never fail
to conclude with something like "Now,
my boy, this is strictly confidential;
everything is too mixed for me to
father this sort of thing at this time."
All of which is conclusive to my mind
that the politician is carefully feeling
tho public pulse, and when ho learns
what tho public wishes he will not be
backward about adopting that as his
views. The average politician follows,
but never leads public opinion, unless
he happens to make a mistake, as he
sometimes does.
The I'ostoflico Department is a very
busy place these days. The needs of.
tho service are, owing to its extremely
rapid growth, always a long way ahead
of the appropriations made by con
gress. Hero is an instance: Boston,
Chicago and other cities are asking for
an addition of letter carriers which in
the aggregate amounts to more than
1,000. Now congress lias only appro
priated for tho employment of 150 ad
ditional letter carriers, and at least ,'!00
of them will go to small places shown
by tho census to bo entitled to the free
delivery service, leaving only 150 to be
divided among tho big cities which
ask for 1,000. The postmaster general
hopes by the adoption of a letter box
for every household, if a suitable one
can bo found among the eight hun
dred samples submitted to tho depart
ment, to greatly increase tho odiciency
of tho present force of letter carriers
in the largo cities.
Another problem, in connection
with tho lottery business, is being
worked upon by the I'ostoflico Depart
ment. Shortly after the law shutting
lottery matter out of tho mails wont
into effect, tho presidents of the two
largest express companies issued an
order instructing their agents to refuse
all lottery business tendered them.
Now tho agents of tho ' department
have secured proof that tho agents of
the express companies aro ignoring
these orders, presumably with tho
knowledge and consent of tho mon
who issued them, and aro doing a
heavy lottory business. .Tow to stop
this is the question that tho legal ad
visors of tho postmaster general aro
now studying, and it is probablo that
if thoy can see any reasonablo prospect
of success that an attempt will bo
made through tho courts to compel
the express companies to refuse lottory
business.
Tho secretary of tho National Asso
ciation of Democratic Clubs denies
that his organization is ongaged in
booming Senator Gorman or any other
man for tho democratic presidential
nomination, as has been charged by a
New York paper. Tho secretary is an
honorable business man of this town,
and, in this community, his word will
go a good deal farther than any state
ment made by the sensational paper
which originated this charge.
Mr. Columbus Delano, who was
somo years ago a member of President
Grant's cabinet, is hero. Ho is re
sponsible for tho statement that the
republican farmers of Ohio will unani
mously support McKinloy. Other
Ohio republicans aro far from being as-
confident as Mr. Delano is, and appar
ently their sources of knowledge of tho
situation aro quite as good as his.
It is said that Hon. John W. Foster,
who in Secrotary Rlaino's absonco is
in chargo of tho reciprocity pro
gramme, has almost concluded tho
negotiations for reciprocity with an-
othor nation, but ho declines to make
tho namo of tho country public yet.
Somo think that it is Mexico.
In spito of tho fact that it is thought
to bo too lato to accomplish tho desired
purpose, the administration is won
pleased that England agreed to its
proposition for a closed season iu
Jehring Kca, Tho publication of tho
correspondence reflects credit upon
Mr. Rluino and shows tho falsity of
tho chargo that ho was noting iu tho
interoit of tho loascoa of tho American
sealing privilege. When the atbitra
tion, which was months ago agreed
upon, is to tuke place will not be de
termined until the details nf the
erbitration are settled. .1. II. ("!.

would bo of great benefit. Hops are
growing well, but lice are reported
from several localities. There is
small white worm doing some damage
to the roots of corn, iu Yamhill coun
ty. A few days suubhino will ripen
the cherries. Denies of all kinds
promise to be plentiful. Though the
weather during the week has been un
usually cool, cloudy and wet, yet the
crop prospects havo been improved,

Weather. The weather has been
cool, with little sunshine, and general
light showers havo prevailed. In t,ee
lions there were heavy downpours,
generally called cloud-bursts, ono es
pecially near Vansycle in Umatilla
county on the 12th. Tho rainfall
varied from .05 to .00 of an inch.
Some snow fell in tho mountains of
Baker and Wallowa counties.
Crops. The rain was of great bone-
111, 10 growing crops. Timely rains
havo further improved the splendid
prospects. Tho hot winds of May 25th
burnt considerable wheat, but tho
rains havo done far inoro bonelit than
tho hot winds did damage. Through
tho wheat districts tho rains wore not
as heavy as in tho other sections, but
some fell through the on tiro wheat
area. In tho Gntudo Rondo valloy
spring wheat is lato iu coming up, but
tho present inoisturo insures tho crop.
Cherries and strawberries aro fino and
plentiful. Fruit is gonorafly in good
condition. Entire Eastern Oregon
and Washington havo boon favored
with suitablo weather conditions to
further improvo tho good prospects for
an abundant harvest.
