WASHINGTON LETTER.
Vrr-m Our Efmlar CorresponJent)
WaSHisoTcs, April 20, 18S8.
Tho great speech made Lt Repre
sentative Mills in the Honse of Eep
rcsentatives, cn Tuesday, in favor of
revenue reform, is Etill the principal
subject of conversation in political
circles. Those who wish to, can con
tinue tbe worship of tbe war tariff,
bat they must cot expect to bear
their god spoken of in reverential
ternia by revenue reformers who con
sider it at best a sort of robber of the
people.
Mr. Mills epeecb wns the opening
gua in tho great tariff battle which is
likely to rage with more cr less vio
lence daring the remainder of the
session. Judge .b-elley, ot ra., re
plied to Mr. Mills with a long manu
script, from which he read the usaal
old protection arguments.
The Senate Committee on i' oreign
Relations have, by a strict party vote,
decided to report adversely on the
Fisheries treaty.
Tbe handsome residence purchased
in this city by the friends of the late
Gun. Hancock has boon formally
transferred to his widow.
Secretary Whitney has -written a
letter to Roar Admiral GLercrdi plac
ing in his charge the construction of
the armored battle-ship Maine, which
is to be bnilt at the Brooklyn navy
yard. Ia it he says that in view of
tbe fact that this will be the first war
ship built entirely by the government
for 15 vears, it is highly important
that the work shall be well done. He
hopes that the yard will turn out a
vessel that will be favorably .judged
by Congress and the people.
Representative Martin, of Texas,
has introduced a bill in the House
imposing a punishment of imprison
ment for life, with hard labor, or tb.6
impositioa of tbe death penalty, for
tho offence of bribing or attempting
to brite any United States Judge,
member of Congress, or government
ofacer, to render a decision or judg
ment or to vote upon nay ponding
proposition, or to' do any official act.
A bill has also been introduced into
the House declaring all interstate
pools or combinations limiting or con
trolling the production, siue, or price
of any article of trade or commerce,
to be unlawful and a criminal con-
spiracy.
