WASHINGTON LETTER,
[From oar regular correspondent ]
AgaixGTox, Dec. 27, 1892.
vr Crisp was o:ic of the few
prominent democratic Congressmeu
who ale their Cifristnas dionerg in
Washington. ; This week he will go
to New York for a few days, and
thereby bangs a tale, that is very
discomforting to ihoM gentlemen
whs have ! been working overtime
concocting atnries showing why
president-elect Cleveland would
oppose Mr Crisps election as
Speaker of the next House. Mr
Crisp g*es to New York -uoon Mr
j Cleveland's personal invitation to
confer wilh the president-elett j
; about legislation that is to come j
j before the present House, tbe extra i
session question, and the organ i- j
zation of tbe next House and the!
j, question is being asked why should <
Mr Cleveland wj*ir tw confdt with i
tbe Speaker if ne is opposed to his j
re-election by Ike nepct House? It j
seems to be a repetition of the old j
story ? somebody /went* off half-;
| cocked.
* The popali^ members of Con-j
grcss from Kansas have evidently!
heard from Ikorae. At first they |
were discreetly siient about the
; alleged candidacy of Mrs Lease f?>r!
the Senate;- now they \ openly
j ridicule it, characterizing * it is
& simply a republican scheme to make
Fjk populists ridiculous.
> Senator Hill is a member cf the
fcen ate committee on Immigration,
and be does not agree with the !
1. ideas of tbe majority of that com-:
isiUee as to the legislation neces- !
saryv He will soon after thie re - !
assembling of Congress prostatitis!
views shape of a tainoriiv
report aaii will either introduce a
new bU^or?|per an amendment to'
the C handle* litil. providing for one;
yea^s suspension i f immigration*
when tkat ptz sore ia tuken up by
the Senate. The j >int House aud.
Senate immigsation committ^ has
one- aab-touiamtee now on its way ,
to Cuba and another ' consulting !
with Treassury otficiais, both after !
o information to be made use of when j
the immigration bills ate taken up
i?y Congress. Tbe Hvuse and j
Senate committees are wotkengj
harmoniously is this matter, and
so fajr polities has been kept out of j
it. The only question with mem
iiers of all parties being, what is tbe
best tiling to do?
TOere la g?oin? it- be some lively
(InascSa! music ib Congress when it
get* together again, but it is not
yet certain who is goiag to do t he
dancing. There is a heavy pres
sure being brought to bear for a
suspension . of the purchase of the
4,500,000 Ounces oi slher bullion,
1 which the SecmUry of the Tresury
is * compelled, under t he Shermau
law, to buy every month.
