Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Administration measures are
running pretty smoothly in Con
gress with the exception of the
Philippine Tariff bill. There is
every prospect of determined
opposition to that measure in the
Senate and one proposition to
amend it so as to increase the
minim un duties on tobacco and
sugar to 50 per cent may be ta
ken seriously. If the bill is
amended in this direction it will
mean that the Senate has taken
the bit in its teeth and thatthere
will be a hara fight. All of the
Democrats and the middle west
ern senators as well as the stand
patters are naturally against the
bill in its present shape. This
makes a formidableopposition to
deal with. The opposition of
some of the Democratic members
is remarkable in the nature of its
logic. They are the most pro
nounced free traders yet they
state that they will not support
the Philippine bill because” it is a
step in the reduction of duties
without opening the whole ques
tion of tariff revision. This is a
rather remarkable attitude.
There is little prospect of gener
al tariff revision at the present
session, and one might thinkthat
a free trader would prefer to
get half a loaf rather than to go
hungry. But the gentlemen re
ferred to say that they would
rather help to defeat the Payne
bill than to go at the tariff pro
proposition piecemeal.
The rate bill on the other hand
looks as though it would have
rather easy sailing. It is said
that the Senate Committee is
waiting to get the Hepburn bill
before it in order to frame a
measure along the same lines be
fore it reports any bill to the
Senate. If this is true, it ought
to be strongly suspected that
the Senate will want to frame a
measure that while it has the
outward semblance of the House
bill contains some essential fea
tures capable of various inter
pretations when the measure
gets into the courts as it eventu
ally is sure to do. Therefore
the members of the House who
think they have embodied the
most of the President’s ideas in
the bill are watching carefully to
find whether there are any “jo
kers” concealed in it before giv
ing it their,[sanction.
The statehood bill is at pre
sent in a state of coma. There
is bitter opposition to it both in
the House and the Senate. It is
being proclaimed as an Admis
£ration measure. But it is
doubtful if the President would
ever have given it his sanction
had he known how 7 strong was
the hostility to it both in Arizona
and in some parts of New Mexi
co. It is just possible that bill
will Oe defeated in the Senate
and if it will relieve congress of
a good deal of embarrasmentand
will not be much of an anti-ad
ministration victory either. It
' is a rather unheared of perfor
mance to bring a state into the

It is the bill amending the
present Chinese Exclusion Act,
and as on it will hinge the whole
question of the Chinese boycott
t can be seen that the bill touches
much of the exporting business
of the United States. There
has been agood deal of misrepre
sentation about this measure so
it is just as well to explain it,
The bill provides for the ex
clusion from the United States
of all Chinese laborers both skill
ed and unskilled. That is its
essential feature. It defines the
excluded classes and lets in all
the others to whom there can be
no reasonable objection. It will
be easily understood that you
can define the excluded class
but that it is almost impossible
to define the admitted classes
without working grave injustice
to some class that obviously
ought to be admitted but who
are not especially mentioned in
days.

out all its effective points. Here is
the secretary’s latest anecdote,
picked up in the south:
After an all night session with the
boys, a husband wended his way
home, arriving there about 5 a. m.
He found his wife waiting for him in
the dining room, the confusion of
furniture indicating that she had
oeen having an unbappv time.

snapped his wife.

Then sinks again to rest; the mystic

Of silence hath the world within its keep.

The Tomcat doth unto the moon complain
Pouring his whole wild soul in one immense
Unearthly and repose-destroying strain.

And phantom wails affright the crowing

Now look you Thomas, if you do not cease
I’ll send you straightway to the sausage

The serenade hath ceased, the fractured

Reknits its sutures; peace again doth hang
Her laurels on the fence and pin them

the advocates of this bill are will
ing to let down the bars altoget

with Chinese cheap labor for the
sake of placating the Chinese

true on the face of it. The
measure as it stands embodies
the President’s idea of “doing
full justice to China” and it is
believed that such a law will
meet with the approval of the
Chinese government and put an
end bo the boycott which already
has worked great injury to

AN OLD TIME BALL.
Society Function to lie Held In New
Vork—Gkost Dance a Feature.
Arrangemtuts are being made to give
New York a real old fashioned Knick
erbocker ball—one representing the
people and the period of the early
years of Manhattan’s settlement, says
the New York Times. Its invitation
list is to include the old line aristoc
racy of New York, and its tone is to be
exclusive. Weymer Jay Mills, who is
a descendant of the Jay family ahd
who is a member of the City club, is
planning it aud intends boldiug the
ball iu the oid Astor House downtown,
where the Vans and Tens back in the
thirties danced aud dined in what was
then the heart of the metropolis. The
old Astor House hasn’t had a full
hedged ball for many years.
Historical color will be given the af
fair through the costumes of the men
and women who will attend. The men
will wear the orthodox evening coat
and trousers, with straps about the
instep to hold the trousers over spat
ted boots. This will ’be set off with
the fluffy frilled shirt and the broad
tie of tlie years gone by. The women
will be expected to wear the hoopskirt
and old fashioned waist, with hair
dressed after the style of the period.
The intention is to hold the ball in
the main dining room of. the Astor
House. It is probable that the dance
will take place some time in March or
April. It is said that while many fam
ilies of New York’s best society will
attend the invitation list will be lim
ited to the families whose ancestors
were among the early settlers of the
city. The ballroom will be decorated
appropriately, and the supper menu
will be as nearly as possible like those
of the early years of the last century
in New York.
Another picturesque incident is to be
a “ghost dance.” Promptly at 12
o’clock on the night of the ball the ball
room will be darkened, and a dance in
memory of the belles and beaus who
were there so many years ago will be
given. The dining room of the old As
tor House, used as a dancing hall, has
been the scene of many famous social
events. It was here that the Prince ue
Joinville of France was entertained in
the early forties.
Algeciras, Algeclran,
When you are about to wire us
That you’ve settled matters straight
And that all are satisfied,
That each nation’s honest pride
Soothed Is and laid to rest—wait.
Can you not, O Algeciras,
Knowing that we are desirous
Of a little season’s Pax,
Gently hint it to the kaiser
That he’d act his part much wiser
If he’d shelve his battleax.
Britain, too, is wont to tire us —
Well you know it, Algeciras—
With heroics in the Mail
Of a sun that never set,
Of a flag that never yet
lowered was by foeman’s sail.
As for France, she’s apt to fire us
With her legends, Algeciras.
Still we need a little rest.
Tell her all her glories will
More tjian easily fill the bill.
That the arts of peace are best.
Breathe it gently, Algeciras—
Sus Minerva, oh, inspire us!—
That we quarrel with no nation
And that, though not now deslrou*
For a fight, O Algeciras,
We can easily lick creation—
When desirous,
Algeciras.
