OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Feb. 22, 1901. There is a chance that the demo crats of the house may duplicate their triumph in the ways and means committee and defeat the republican scheme to have the bill for the reduction of war taxes, now deadlocked in conference, fail. As the matter now stands, the house conferences refuse to agree to the senate amendments and the senate conferees refuse to recede. It is believed that if the matter can be got before the house again all of the democrats and a sufficient num ber of republicans to a ma jority would vote to accept the sen ate amendments and the bill could be sent to Mr. McKinley, who would not dare to veto it, much as he would like to see it fail. That would be as marked a triumph as was ever achieved by the minority in either branch of congress. The democratic leaders are striving to bring it about, not because of any special love for the senate bill but because they think taxes should be reduced, aid it is well worthy of their best efforts. Is there a deal on between the administration and the Panama canal gang? Several things are calculated to justify the suspicion that there is, One thing, is the presence in Washington of Senor Silva, minister from Colombia,who has openly stated that he is here solely for tne purpose of offering to transfer to the United States Col ombia’s rights in the Panama canal, and will as soon as his task is com pleted, go back home and resume the office of minister of foreign af fairs. Another thing, is the re publican show down that Senator Morgan forced by insisting upon action by the senate committee on foreign relations on his resolution declaring that neither the Hay- Pauuoefote treaty nor the Clayton- Bulwer treaty should be allowed to stand in the way of legislation bv congress for the construction of the Nicaragua canal. By a strict party vote Senator Morgan’s resolution has been adversely reported, thus showing the republican members of the committee to be opposed to the Nicaragua canal. Senator Morgan has got his fighting blood up, and says he intends to put the senate on record by demanding a vote on his resolution. Democratic senators may make a fight on the nomination, of Gen. Shafter to be a major general in the regular army, sent to the sen ate this week by Mr. McKinley, not only because they do not think he has done anything to deserve the promotion, but because of the extraordinary method taken to give it to him. It will be remembered th it although Gen. Shafter is now doing duty as a major general of volunteers, he went on the letired list some time ago, under the age limitation, as a brigadier general. To confirm his nomination will be simply to present him the differ ence between the salary of a retiied brigadier general and that of a re tired major general for the rest of his life. Some very vigorous protests have been lodged with Mr. McKin- To those living in malarial districts Tutt’s Pills are indispc risible, they keep the system in perfect order and are an absolute cure for sick headache, indigestion, malaria, torpid liver, constipa tion and all bilious diseases. Tutt’s Liver Pills ley by western republicans in con gress against the proposed appoint ment ot P. C. Knox, of Pittsburg, the attorney for the Carnegie steel trust, to succeed Attorney General Griggs, although it is difficult to ->ee why they should object to one trust lawyer succeeding another in he cabinet. Mr. McKinley still keeps extra session talk on tap for his con gressional callers. He tells them that he intends to issue the call for an extra session just as soon as he gets the Cuban constitution. Some of them are hoping that he won’t get the Cuban constitution for some time. Asa sop to the kicking against extravagant appropriations the river and harbor bill was reduced about $10,000,000 before it was re ported to the senate. Mr. McKinley’s recommenda tion that congress vote its thanks to Sampson is hung up in the sen ate committee on nayal affairs and is likely to remain th°re. All of the naval promotions sent to the senate except those of Sampson and Schley will be confirmed. To cover their cases a compromise was reached under which a bill re viving the grade of vice admiral and authorizing the appointment of two was favorably reported to the senate, but unless some assur- ance is given that Schley will be ! made the senior cf Sampson, as he [ is now, there is no certainty that the bill will be allowed to go through. There is a very determ , ined Reeling in the senate against allowing Mr. McKinley to jump Sampson over tile head of Schley as a reward for a victory won by Schley. An active New York democrat — Mr. L L. Gregor}', of Albany — said to a group of friends in a Washington hotel: “If I could name the next democratic ticket it would be Richard Oluey, of Mas sachusetts, for president, and Sena tor Daniel, of Virginia, for vice president. There’s a combination that would be hard to beat. Olney is the strongest man with the east that could possibly be named, and he is also popular with the south, with a not inconsiderable following in the western states. In the south Daniel is almost worshipped, and his popularity in the west is second only to that of Bryan.” A congressional delegation, rep resenting both branches and both parties, called on Mr. McKinley this week and requested that Rep resentative John Allen, of Missis sippi, who will retire from congress at the close of this session, be ap pointed one of the commissioners provided for in the bill appropriat ing $5,000,000 for the exposffion to b held at St. Louis to commemo rate the Louisiana Purchase. It was an unusual compliment, and Mr. Allen’s appointment is regard ed as certain. A petition in his favor signed by all the senators ex cept three was filed with Mr. Mc- Kinley.

Ministers Discover a Still- Yesterday says a recent Griffin special, Rev. J. L. Gross of the First Baptist church of this city aud Dr. H. Hatcher, of Atlanta, representing the American Baptist Publishing Company, were out hunting they discovered a “moon shine” still while looking for a wounded bird that Rev. Mr. Gross had sho*:. The retriever failed to find the bird, vvh'ch had fallen on the edge of a deep ravine, and the minister proceeded to look for it, with the result that he not only found the game, but a still smok ing hot. A negro, who was at work there, fled when discovered, and the clergyman, probably for the first time in his life, beheld a sure ’nuff still. On go ng back to Dr. Hatcher with his bird, Mr. Gross informed him of his find. “I don’t blame the dogs for not seeming that bird,” said the doctor sniffing the air, which was redolent with the sour smell of “mash. ’ “It would have been remirkable if they had.” 237 Living Descendants- Macon Telegraph An interesting story was sent out a few davs ago from Princeton, Ky,, giving an account of the re markable family of Mrs. Nancy A.
