WASHINGTOM LETTER,
ee
From our Reguler Correspondent }
Wasnrincron, D. &., Dec. 29 79.
' Upto this time the most mark-
ad feature of the Congressional
gecess in Washington, has been
the unconcealed anxiety of tbe
administration as to the probable
action of certain Senators when
Congress gets together again and
tbe attempts maue to cajole them
with patronage and promises into
doing as Mr, McKinley desires,
or into doing nothing and keep
jag quiet. The two yrincipal
e@auses"the minor ones are too
-gumerous to mention"of Mr.
BcKinleyTs anxiety are Finance
avd the treatv for the annex«tion
ef Hawaii. He wants the treaty
gpeedily ratified and he wants the
gilver Republicans to keep quiet
@nd pot attempt to carry out the
@tention announced by some of
them otf forcing Mr. McKinleyTs
hand by compelling bim to come
out in the open and declare him-
gelfto bein sympathy with the
@utspoken efforts of Secretary
Gage to secure legislaion to
strongthon the gold standard, or
eise to doclare ih favor of the
gestoration of bimetallism, which
Be bas all aloLe led them to be-
Beve he fayored.. The Senators
who have been put in the doubt-
$i! column on the annexation |
question avdthe silver Republi-
gin Senators can haye anything
@ Mr. McKirleyTs disposal in the
way of patrenage, if they will
pledge themselves to do as he
waots them. The effect of this
@:jelery of Senators ecaunot be
fold to a certainty until the ques-
tions affected get up in the Sen-
ate. Soon afier the debate on
dhe annexation treaty) opens it
will become apparent whether
any of the odoubtful� Senators
bave become adyocates of annex-
ation, aod the explanation that
Sorator Wolcott, who is regarded
as the leader of the silver Repub-
: Fieanes, has promised to make of
his trip to Enrope in behalf of
Hitervational bimotallism, about
the middle.of January, will preb-
abiy irdicate the attitud. of the
silver Republicans, at least one of
whow has tola Mr. McKinley Jin
plain words that unless he muz-
gies Secreiary Guage the silyer
Republicans weuld publiciy re-
pudiato the tinancial poley of the
administration.
The Navy department will re-
establish the Marine Guard at
Pensacola, Fla, which was dis-
@ontinued a few years ago, a
detachment of U. S. Murines
Raving left Washington Sunday
for the Pensacola station.
It is practically certain that
nearly all the Democrats in both
branches of Congress will vote
for the bill providing for the pub-
Bcation of a complete list of those
_ drawing pensions from the Govy-
~ernment and the amount they
* drew, which Commissioner Evans
ay3 he will have introduced

oBAILY KERLECTOR
Tn tact, it 18 difficult to imdgine
any good reason why the yote in
| Congress shouid not be unani-
mous for such a bill: The pub-
lication would serve several good
| purposes and could not possibly
injure any honest and deserving
pensioner. Some of the G. A. BR.
men are opposing the idea and
are trying to work up sentiment
against it.. |
tucky, whose seat 18 being con-
tested by Dr. Dunter, the Repub-
i licean who thought he had a cinch
lon the Senatorial toga that was
captured by Deboo and who in
that connection was charged with
bribery and some other little
things cf that sort, isnTt at all
afraid of being unseated, noi- :
withstanding the big Republican
majority in the House. The evi
dence in favor of Mr. Rhea was
overwhelming tefore Dr. Hunter
virtually acknowledged that his
claim to the seat was not a yalid
one by accepting the position of
Minister to Guatamala and Hon-
duras. The contest has not been
abandoned, but the hope of get-
ting an allowance for lawyers
fees and other expenses is proba-
bly the only reason that it has
not been. "
The money pull with the pres"
ent administration has once more
been demonstrated. Although
there were several men with the
strongest sort of political on-
dorsements after the office of U.
S. Marshal of the District of
Columbia, Mr. McKinley decided
to give itto Mr. Aulick Palmer,
who knows all about club and
social life in Washington and
Newport. but who has never eyen
learned the a b cTs of. politics. It
is an open secret that the appoint-
ment was give to Palmer, because
the place was requested for him
by Cornelius Vauderbilt, who
was one of the largest individual
contributors to Boss Hanna's
sixteen million dollar campaign
fund.
Representative Baileys, of Tex-:
as, 18 spending his Christmas with |
Ex-Representativo Sibtey, of
Pennsylvania, and as both men
are close friends of Mr. Bryan
there is oelieved to be more 10

and a Medley of Miscellaneous, Po-

Events. v
With the exception of the short, sharp
conflict between Turkey and Greece the
year 1897 has been one of peace and
quiet throughout the civilized world. A
general war over the vexed eastern ques-
tion was averted by the speedy collapse
of Greece. In Cuba the insurrectionists
have persisted, giving rise to many
alarms of war between the United States
and Spain.
The plan of annexation of Hawaii
has reached an advanced stage without
a clash with other interested powers.
Commercial prosperity among English
speaking peoples has been in the main
encouraging. Wheat in America reached
the highest price known in over 20 years.
Strikes, riots and political assassina-
tions mar the annals of the year, but
they are comparatively free from great
national calamities:
