u atlti democrat. VASHIXUTON. (Krum our regular frirretpondent.) Washington, Jan. 5, if 91. Mr Harrison and Mr Blaine In their ef fort to make political capital fur the re publican party and to aid Mr Harrison in ecu ring the republican nomination next . year seem to have made a bad mess of the Beliring Sea trouble with Great lirUain. They have placed the United State in n most undesirable position, where we shall either have to fight England or become the laughing stock of the world. The HritUh minister has it Is sd informed Mr liktlnc confidentially that his government will fire upoii any American vessel that attempts during the comingtsealing season to search or seize vessels engaged in sealing in Beh ring Sea under the British flag. This information has, it is believed, caused Mr Harrison to delay sending in to congress the correspondence between Mr Ulaine and the British foreign office and his message of explanation, all of which was ready a week ago. Mr Harrison is perfectly willing that his administration should be the cause of stirring up the anti British feeling, but he hesitates to go to congress for an appropriation of money for a real war with England, lie fetts that congress might brush aside the ad ministration theories and authorize-the aibttration which it ha refused. Certaln y we ar e net in any condition at the present time to fight Great Britain upon the water, where wc .vould have to fighti and the idea of an American backdown is not a pleasant one to contemplate. There may be some congressional music on this subject a little later on. A democratic conference, Including both Senators and Representatives, was held today for the purpose of considering ways j and means of opposing the newly an nounced republican method of trying to force the Force bill to a vo.e in the senate by holding long continuous sessions lor the purpose of tiring out the democrats. It was determined to resist to the end any and all efforts on the part of therepulicans to force a vote. Just what form this re sistance will take will depend entirely up on circumstances. If the republicans get a quorum of their own members, which they are working hard to do, it will settle down to a question of physical endurance. Ing about the reciprocity treaty which had been or would shortly be negotiated witb Mexico were either Ignorant of the sub ject or else were attempting Intentionally to fool the people. The Mexican minister here sava that no treatv has been negotia ted and that none is likely t be negotiated at present, because hU country will not grant concessions to an administration that has lost no opportunity to get the best of Its weaker sitter. Tint is only an infm tesimsl effect of the passage of Hill McKinley's McKinley Bill, Thousands of republicans all over the country have been uiveo out of their party on account of it. But we should say the effect is not ill. it i Bill himself who is ill. Joe Simons said "wigwag" and therepubli can party of Oregon bowed obedieacc in sub missive humility. Joe is a real boss. Change in IU'mnkhh.

Wanted A place to do hoiueworit for a short time. Apply at this office. f they fail to get a quorum, or to keep one pi esent it w 111 be easy to block their game the democratic senators have only to absent themselves, thus breaking a qucrum, without which no vote can be taken. The republicans have temporarily a bandoned their gag rules, not so much be cause of opposition to It in their own ranks though there is some little, as because,, after counting noses, they believed that they could pass the bill without shocking the large conservative element of the country by anything quite as revolution ary as that gag xule, but they will not hes itate to adopt U if their present plans mis carry as they are likely to do through the tubborness of the democratic opposition. The democratic senators have very little hope of republican help in defeating the bill, as it is now certain that not more than j four republicans will vote against It, and j The Reason Why. Why Is it that Klein Bros, can afford to sell boots and shoes so reasonable? Because1 they are both practical shoe makers and make parte! heir expenses by working on the shoe bench, any boot or shoe you buy of them. no matter what kind it Is man, womans or childs, that rip, run over or the sole rips loose they repair them for vou free of charge, and as they do all the wotl; them selves, they don't charge you 25 to 50 cents a pair extra for a warrant to pay some shoemaker to repair them for vou.

If their votes would defeat the bill k 1 : doubtful whethei they would cast them.j they have In deference to the withe of the constituents, let it be known that they are oppoied to the bill, but I do not be lieve that they will cast their votes against it, utiles certain that they will not affect the result. In other words they are op posing the bill for effect at home, and in the hope of getting democratic votes for certain legislation in which they and their constituents are more directly IntereV.cd. It is generally conceded that the joint resolution offered by Senator Carlisle au thorizing the appointment of three com missioners to act with a like number np pointed by the Canadian government, in investigating the commerce of the two countries and devising means to promote and increase It, Is a step In the right di rection and yet Mr Carlisle says he Is cer tain that republican senators will not allow it to be acted upon.
