THE- WASHINGTON LETTER.
Without food or strung drink lint
fnr from speechless, tho twelve rep
rcscnt.itlvcs who compose the detn
orrntic steering committee labored
for four weary hours in tho minor
ity caucus room of the capitol on
Friday afternoon endeavoring to
bring order out of chaos, but with
out result. With nil tlm secrecy of
n high degree Mason, Ropresenta
five Richardson, chairman of the
committee on resolutions Appointed
by the democratic house caucus,
hnd "passed the word" to his col
lenmies that a meeting would lie
held promptly nt noon and while
Mr. Underwood of Alntmmii eiiter
tnined the newspaper men with one
of Ids inimitable -stories in tlie
liono lobby, his eleven conferees
gnlned tlie minority room by devi
ols paths. So great, whs the iit
tenipt nt secrecy that ten minutes
before noon some of the committee
denied nil knowledge of the meet
ing. However, no sooner hnd Mr.
Richardson culled the meeting to
order than the caeophonlous ora
tory, go characteristic, of n demo
cratic "love feast," penetrated to
the uttermost chamber of tlie capi
tol and a corps of correspondents
thronged the corridor wbilo ever
and nnon some catapult of demo
cratic wisdom would thunder
through the mahogany doors and be
eagerly recorded by the representa
tives of the press. Free silvor, re
ciprocity with Cuba, Tammanyism
and the Philippine tariff bill nil con
tributed their share to the interest
of the discussion, and the ascerbity
which predominated the origtnnl
caucus w.is not lacking. Just as the
sound nr.,"-j faction promised to
overwhelm ti.a Texas Brynnites Mr.
Henry cnsl a bomb into the caucus
in the shape of a resolution declar
ing that no democratic caucus had
the power to overthrow a national
platform. Immediately Represen
tative Ball moved to substitute the
Chicago platform for the MeClellan
resolution and again the merry war
waged fist and furious.
Finally a resolution was Introduc
ed binding the committee to report
that in its judgment all resolutions
should be laid on tlm table, it being
argued that they would be non-debatable
and, therefore, a caucus at
least superficially harmonious might
be held but sufficient votes could
not bo obtained to carry it and Rep
resentative Robertson again started
the bull rolling by a resolution bind
ing the minority to oppose all recip
rocity with Cuba. Worn out with
their labors the committee then ad
journed every member having boon
pledged by Mr. Richardson, who
Imagines himself a modern Riche
lieu, to the most absolute secrecy.
Another meeting will bo held but in
the meantime Mr. Richardson will
work with the members individual
ly to secure harnnny.
Out of courtesy to the democratic
members of the Philippines com
mittee Senator Lodge did not sub
mit the report of that committee on
the Philippine tariff bill last Thurs
day as he haa intended but will pro
bably do so tomorrow. Speaking
on the subject last week the senator
told me that ho believed the recom
mendation of a 23 per cent, reduc
tion of tlt Dingley rates would
incut with the approval of tl.n ann
ate and that there would bo but lit
tle trouble in (securing the passage
of tlio bill as amended. Senator
Mitchell said yesterday that lie was
more than ever determined to stand
out for the bt) per cent reduction
embodied in his amendment as the
business men on the Pacific- c inst
believe that such a reduction is es
sential to their interests.
A member of the somite commit
tee on intcr-occanm canals said Sat
urday : "The canal question is Uu-cv.'te-.'.ly
up in the air. It is impossi
I; to at thin time to predict how it
will end hut I be-i-i to fear that
there will h.- no detiniM canal h i:is.

The beet sugar men determined
on n no.v move recently and decided
to go to headquarters, as they re
pressed it, in order to prevent any
reciprocal arrangement with Culm.
Accordingly they called at. the
White House aiid bad n conference
v;th the president. They supposed
that they could bring sufllcient in
fluence upon him to induce him to
change his views, hut they found
him very strongly entrenched in his
opinion and a very difficult mnu to
change. They were confronted by a
letter from Mr. John D. Sprcekels
of California in which hesi'd that
the b et sugar lnf"reit already hnd
more consideration than it deserved
and Mr. Spreekel's letter see med to
have more weight than their arguments.
The campaign of the haot, sugar
men in the house Is producing re
sults more fnvorulo, h nve.vcr, ns
they have led soni') ol the inembors
to believe that a vote for Cuban re
ciprocity will line thein their seats.
The lobby is also engaged and with
some success it, is feared in stirring
up an animosity between the house
and the senate. There are soinu
members and senators who actually
believe that the Industry will be se
verely injured by a grant of 25 per
cent, reduction to Cuba but on the
other hand they sy that if the ad
ministration is correct and Cuban
prosperity depands oil the c niCtis
sion it had better be grunted bo
cause otherwise the United States
will be oblige I t step in to pre
serve order in Cuba and that will
mean annexation and free trade
with the island.
Senator Mason told me yostarday
that he was considerably annoyed
by the report that he was opposed
to rural free delivery and that he
intended gome day this week to ask
for a hearing In the sonate on the
ground of personal privilege when
he would set himself straight in
the matter. Ha said: "On the
contrary I am in favor of rural free
delivery, have boon in favor of it
for yenra and have only recently
been in consultation with the post
master general with a view to secur
ing a larger appropriation this
year as I hope to see the service ex
tended throughout the country."

Mr. Jcssup, the well known law
yer, died suddenly nl Scrantoii
Thursday morning, Jan. 1(5, of heart
failure. He had been in his usual
good health and the previous day
was engaged in the courts, lie was
seized w ith a severe coughing spell
and in less than five minutes he died.
Judge Jcssup was born in Montrose,
Susquehanna county, January 2!',
1S.10, graduated st Yale college in
1SI0, was admitted to the bar in lSol
and immediately began a practice
which became highly .successful.
He engaged in polities, was a dele
gate to the convention which nomin
ated Grant in ISfjS nnd a delegate-nt-Inrge
from Pennsylvania to the con
vention which nominated Blaine in
1S8 I. Though not entering the army
he was Rppointed Major of the 28th
Regt. Vol. Militia and In 1871 was
commissioned by Governor Greary
Major General 10th Division X. G.

nal revenue for a term. In August,
1877, he was appointed president

fill a vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Streeter and served until 187tf.
In 18S5 he opened an ofliee In Scrtin
ton and became one of the leading
law yers at that bar.
The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska
act in 18af, which forced a coal
ition of nil who opposed the extension
of slavery in the territories, revived
the republican party and Mr. Jessup

zation and was all his life an earnest
and uncompromising advocate of its
principles. As a lawyer he was
deeply read, indefatigable in the
preparation of his cases, quick to
comprehend the principles involved,
tenacious of every point, subtle and
acute in reasoning, clear and cogent
in presentation to the court and force
ful and eloquent in delivering his
addresses to the jury. His manner
was urbane and pleasant and always
courteous to his opponent. He was
a faithful and consistent member of
the Presbyterian church and took
great interest in its affairs. His
father was for many years president
judge of the courts here, and two
brothers are now missionaries, Henry
II. at Beirut and Samuel at Sidon,
Syria. Judge Jessup is survived by
his wife, three daughters and one
son, who was his law partner.
