Washington Letter.
Gomm In our ltegulor correspondent.)
WAal,l1OTlll, 711111 11, (840.
Toro wean, vory smolt attendance in
111', }louse yeslcrlhty. The tariff bill was
laid aside for oho clay, and the time woo
talcou up by a bill for the relief of oho
r n rt t bythe r
Mato of Florida, of o el e
claims coelmittao, and by the lane( grant
forfoituro bill, called up by air. IIollnan,
There wao o report that the tariff bill
would be laid aside for soveral days, but
members of the committee state that no
511011 proposition has been considered. It
is not at all likely that any delay of this
sorb will bo caused. Millsboro aro getting
restive, and will not tolerate any greater
delay than is absolutely necessary. As
o rule thoir political fauces need looking
after, and their foaling of anxiety is in-
creased in many MOOS by letters from
bone tolling thorn that their presen00 is
noed011. The fact that they roust be in
the Imago when the tariff vote is taken
or run the risk of being politically
damned is the only thing that can keep
them in Washington undor the circum-
stances, and the proposition to lay aside
tbo tariff in the interest of any other
measures meets a pretty general protest.
They are obliged to stay for the tariff,
but aro not willing to remain for any
other measure.
Thera is an informal agreement between
the two parties that there is to be no un-
necessary delay is tho consideration of
the tariff bill, and an early voto is con-
fidently expected. It is very generally
conceded that the Democrats can paostho
bill as it is when a voto is reachod, and
it is expected that in tho future the op•
position will content themselves with
merely formal protests against features
they consider objectionable. It is not
thought likely that Congress can adjourn
before the last week in August. After
the tariff question has passed over to the
Senate. however, members of the lower
House will not fool it inoumbant upon
them to maintain a quorum and a great
many will go home to oilier upon a very
active canvass.
The case of Gan. Duane's successor as
Chief of Engineers, is causing consider-
able epeoulation among army officers.
Tho question of Gel. Parke'e claims has
brought forth a somewhat similar ono
which, his friends claim, may bo a suffi-
cient precedent on which to base his ap-
pointment. This is the appointment of
Gen. Baird as inspector general in 1885.
Elis only rival for the post was Gen.
Jones, who wao his senior in rank, but
sevora1 years younger. Gen. Baird's
record was a good one and to °noble him
to retire with the rank of brigadier gen-
eral he wee given the post. He will re-
tire in a short time and then Gen. Jones
will most likely bo appointed, retiring a
couple of years later. This case gives
somo color of reason to the theory that
the President may appoint Col. Perko in
consideration of his seniority of service,
thus enabling both Col. Parke and Col.
Cas°y to be placed on the retired list as
brigadiers. At the same time the gen-
eral impression is that Col. Casey will be
appoiutad. Ilia record as an engineer is
an excellent one and it is thought that
the President will take the list as it
stands and mance ]nim 011i0f of engineers.
Col. Parke has at present ono of tho
bust posts in the country as euporintond-
ent of the Military Academy.
A gentleman of this city who is intor-
°stod in the graphophone has boon as-
hibiting that interesting device at the
Senate end of the Capitol with oho view
of impressing Senators with its value,
and perhaps inducing them t0 take, some
stook. Last Saturday ho pursuaded
Senator Saulsbury to make an inspec-
tion of the graphophone, and after dilat-
ing upon its many excellent and useful
qualities he invited the veteran Demo-
cratic Senator to listen to the pleasing
voice of the instrument. It was evi-
dent that the Senator had b000me inter-
ested. He listened and the first words
ground out were : "Hurrah for Harris -
00 ; hurrah, hurrah, hurrah l T -i -g -err."
The Democratic Senator quit the instru-
ment in snprome disgust. Hari the
graphophone hurrahed for tbo Domoorat•
io ticket it would have made a friend in-
stead of an enemy.
There is likely to be politics enough in
tho congrossioual debates from now un-
til oho and of tha session to ploaso the
most rabid partisan. Every subject that
can bo diverted into a political channel
with the least possibility of envolving
party capital will be thus managed. In
the Sonato tho fishery treaty 1s to be
kept on stand available at all times for
political uee, It is within sato bounds,
no doubt, to say that tons of pamphlets
will go out from tho Sento folding
rooms, under tbo hooding of thio treaty,
In the House tho tariff is it subject pro-
lific enough to admit ali sorts of politkoal
debate and to get all the speeches under
this caption before the people many ad.
ditional employees of tbo folding roost
will be necessary.

W. Broekie, jr„ of the American wick-

bat for baying made the highest individ.
ual soon in the International match, and
H. J. Brown with a ball for the best
bowling r000rd. After partaking of
luncheon the smokers and non-smokers
of both teams arranged themselves on
opposing sides, and played a one -inning
match, which resulted in favor of the
non-smokers by 138 to 57.
New York Smi :-It is olear enough
from the record of the great match be-
tween the pinked elevens od the United
States and Canada, played last week at
Toronto, that the Americana were better
in every respect -in batting, bowling and
fielding. An innings and 87 runs make a
severe defeat for the Canadians. Their
great bowlers, Forrio, Gillespie and Og-
den, who had often proved quite effective
against American batsmen, were broken
up by the good stand of Patterson and
the ever -steady Morgan at the outset and
then by the splendid batting of Broakie,
so that the Americans found it easy to
put together 205 rams in the only innings
they needed to play. When the Canad-
ians weut to the bat they rapidly fell vic-
tims to the extraordinary bowling of
Brown and Brewster, while the admir-
ablo fielding of the Americans kept shut-
ting out the promises of runt. They
made only 79 and 80 in their two innings.
Perth County Notes.
Miss Ella A. Rupert, of St. Marys,
who has recently been attending Ontario
Ladies' College, Whitby, was so snooess-
ful at oho closing examination as to carry
off the silver modal and diploma in the

Mrs. Wilson, mother of the deceased
boy, stated about the same as Mr, Smola
has said.
Mr. Wilson objected to au inquest, es •
peoially if a post mortem examination
would have to bo held, as ho believed it
was purely aooideutal, more so from the
fact that several attempts had boon made
to fire the gun without success.
Persons who have visited the spot, the
coroners among the number, say if oho
gun was in the position as statod by
young Scott the range, as marked by the
shot, would be right. F. S. Scott, father
to the boy who had been handling .the
gun, was anxious for au investigation.
