Wa.bl.gion Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
W amunoton , May 21, 1900.
Th. att.utioua which ar. being paid
the Boer envoy, in Wa.uington would
be calculated to mislead men who are
belter posted on political conditions in
thia couutry than these gentlemen from
far-away South Africa. Bras, band»,
cheers, fire-work, aud big crowd, are
the natural accompaniinents of any w.ll-
advertised celebrities in Washington.
These, the envoy, have had fiooi the
hour of their arrival, but the men in
both bram bee of congress wbo have par­
ticipated in receiving the envoy., and
wbo .poke at the big meeting held last
night, ire without a .ingle eiception
who, if not politically opposed to the
administration, as most of them ate, are
entirely without influence either with
the administration or the majority in
congress The envoy J have received r.o
official recognition whatever, and are
not likely to rtceive any. When Sena­
tor Allen sought to obtain tor them the
courtesy of tbe door of the senate, Im
resolution was met with an abrupt ob
j.< tion from Senator Hawley. Thus,
while tbe Boers imagine that they are
malting headway, they are really accom
plishing nothing in the way of chainring
the attitude of this government towsrd
tbe war in South Africa. The president
will receive them, but merely as private
citizens, not as envoys.
At a conference of republican leaders
with the president, it «as agreed that
congress should adjourn before the mid­
dle of June. It was stated that the
bouse would be ready for adjournment
anytime after the first week in June,
and in order to throw the responsibility
on tbe senate lor any prolongation of
the session, a resolution providing for
adjournment at about that time will
probably be adopted by the house this
week.
One of the principal causes of delay
in Nicaragua canal legislation was un­
covered when Senator Morgan made an
attack on the new I'anatna canal com­
pany, organized under the laws of New
Jersey, and composed largely of Amer-
