Seyeral things hadnot gone to suit him. The news-, p2pers printed the report of Con* aul General Fitzhugh Lee, on the- Buiz investigation, before 16 wasreceived by the State Depart-ment, and noboby could discoverthe Jeak. But the principalcause cf: Mr.~ McKinleyTs badhumor was the verbal reportmade by his friend and personalrepresentative, - Mr. Calhoun, whofound out too muck of what Mr.McKinley did not want to know,and not enough to corroboratewhat what he thought he alreadyknew. In short, Mr. Calhoun~. reported things as he found them,regardless of whether theyT ~pleas-~ed or displeased anybody.Meanwhile the Cuban questionis ready to boil over in Congress.Many Repablicans in the Housewho baye been keeping quiet inopposition to the wishes of theirconstitvents, in order to give Mr.McKinloy a chance to do some-thing, are. growing restive and- cannot be held in much longer.~Notwithstanding the opposi-tion of Senators Jones, of Ark.,and Vest, of Mo. both of whomdenounced it severely, six Doam-ocrats voted for the amendiaentoffered to the tanff bill by Sena-tor Bacon, cf Ga. putling a 20per caut ad yalorum duty on rawcotton. The Republicans allvoted forthe amendment and itis now a part ofihe bill. The sixDewocrats who voied for theameudment were Bacon and Ciayof Ga., Tillman and McLaarin, ofS.

Sanator Baconreplied to Democratic objectionsby saying that it was recognizec.thatthe coantry was to haye atarift bill and that h» intended to~ to see that his state received anéqual share of the benefits, as hebelieved, in the words of theBible, that the man who does not* care for his own household isworse than an infidel, There arereasons for the belief that the- Republicans are playing a buncogame on Senator Bacon and hiswemocratic supporters, in orderto exhibit them as supporters ofprotection, and that when thetariff bill goes to the President it: will not contain a duty on raw~9| since the election, and if any somsession.man of the Democratic National2 ocuageoing is " a littleof large sums of money to7 A, continued propa- |.of free silver. ideas.Bing bt-the lateat story, that | the!
