Q VOL. LXXII. WASHINGTON LETTER. THE PRESIDENT OUT ON A CAM: PAIGN TOUR. He isn Guest of Boss Hanoa in the South, und is Hastling Around Bualiding up His Presidentinl Fence. WASHINGTON, Maich 13.-—Mr. Me- Kinley hasn't gone to Thomasville, Gia., where he will be the guest of Boss Hanna for several weeks, solely to get rest and recreation. Not by a jugluall, there is political scheming, and a lot of t, in the trip. While they are in a the leading administra- tion Senators and Representatives will visit them, and in addition to elineh- ing Mr. McKinley's renomination next year, the question of whether the administration will try to prevent Czar Reed's reelection as Speaker the House, will be carefully gone over and decided. If it were only a ques. tion of inclination, it might be consid- ered as already decided. Mr. McKin- ley and a number of his closest friends are sore on Reed because of his atti- tude towards all of the administration measures that came before the late Congress, and would gladly antago- nize his reelection as Speaker, il they thought they could beat him, but there's the rub. They are afraid to fight Reed, unless they are reasonably certain of being able to control enough votes to down him, because if they do so and fail, they Know he would fight back during the lif. of the fifty-sixth Congress, which will be as long as that of the administration. of Democrats will be glad if the Repub- Fie Representative Cannon, an party will endorse the claim of of Ii, Czar Reed's most obedient henchmen, that real Nicaragua ( one of ‘anal legislation, by Na tional Conventions, regarditss of par- ty, y pr the re- ut session of Congress by the Repub- lican House. The blame the fail- ure of that legisiation had been placed upon Reed, but when Mr. Cannon says: “Fortunately the House of Rep- resentatives resisted the enactment of the proposed legislation,” in his labor. ed commendation of Republican ac- complishments during the Filty-fifth Congress, he places the responsibility on the Republican party, and actually gloats over it as something to be proud Will the National Convention of his party dare to assume the same at- which has been commended was purposel vented at 4 foam FOR "0 of. ¥ titude on this question | gusts those who believe in old fashion ed honest dealing with the ment as well as with individuals, the trust can make armor for $255 a ton, which its agents say it can, it can certainly afford to sell it to the govern- ment for $300 a ton, but, of course, that is no reason that it will.

Itis known that 350,000 cans of the meat was bought in Earope, where it had been shipped from this country. The labels on the meat said it was packed in Chieago, but the firm alleg- ed to have packed it—""The Prairie! State Packing Co.”"—i= said to be un- known either in Chicago or to the wholesale trade of the country. That horse meat is being canned in Chicago and shipped to Europe is koown, and persons who ought to know have de- clared that the meat in question was horse meat.’ If the Military Court of Inquiry really wishes to get at the bot- tom of this business, it ought not to he a difficult matter. The contractors who supplied this meat could be made to tell who eanned it and where it was canned. The Court is already accused of fa lure to call witnesses known to have information tending to prove Gen. Miles’ contention, and if its mem- bers are not careful their report will meet with the same reception the country gave to the report of the Alger Whitewashing Commission, Senator Chandler, who has a reputa. tion for talking against things support- ed by bis party, but always voting with the purty, has an acute attack of anti-trustphobia just now. He talks against the trusts as seriously as though he was a good Democrat or Populist, but that is no reason to expect that he will vote against any measures desired by the trusts which may come before the Senate, in the future; he certainly bas not done so in the past, Navy Department officials say that armor for our warships cannot be bought for $300 a ton, the limit set by the last Congress. A statement made before the House Naval Committee shows conclusively that it could be if there was not an armor trust, formed to bleed the government. One of the members of this trast sold Russia three thousand tons of the same armor for $240 a ton. It was claimed by a repre- sentative of that Company that $40, 000 was lost on that order, for the pur pose of introducing their armor in Eu. rope.
