WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C.,Nov, 22nd 1889.
Congressional visitors to the executive
Mansiom complain bitterly of the diffi
culty of seeing the President. They say
that he has no time to give anyone but
his cabinet officers. As these gentlemen
have the entree at all hours, it would
seem unjust that they monopolize two
thours given to other visitors. A linos
every morning the carriages of two or
three cabinet officers can be seen around
the White House from 10 to 12 o’clock.
A Congressman who cal's with a constit
uent and is turned away day after day
naturally feels mortified. It humbles
him and injures his strength at home.
The new Senators will begin their leg
islative careers by asking such Senators
as have seen the shortest service to com
bine fur a re org nization of the
force of Senate etni 1 >yees. The ci'il
service system has so retricted the nu m
ber of officers available for regarding
followers that a new deal is demanded.
Old Senators, like Edmunds, Allison,
Sherman and Hear have gobbled up all
the offices in sigi’t and their followers
have held them for a score of years.
Senatorial courtesies in t his matter as
in othbrs, is bound to receive a rud
shock. The present officers of the Sen
ate are greatly exercised over the rumor.
The fight for the exposition of 1892 was
definitely opened yesterday by the ar
rival of Colonel Jones and Govenor
Francis, of Missouri, the missionaries
who are to give their reasons for their
faith in the merit of St. Louis. The r
headquarters are at Williard’s. The
Chicago representatives have bee ' here
for some time. The interests of the
Windy City before Congress will Vie look
ed after by ex-First Assistant Postmaster
General Allen E. Stevenson. The exec
utive committee ot the Washington
promoters n et last night, but no definite
action was taken. It is intended to give
a dinner to the delegates to the Pan
American Congress early in December,
probably about the 10th, as on that date
the govenors of the States interested in
the Philadelphia centenary will all be in
Washington.
The finance committee of the National
Board of Promotion of the Three Amer
icas exposition has issued a circular urg
ing all the citizens of the District of Co
lumbia to sign a memorial to Congress
asking that Washington be selected as
the site for the World’s Fair in 1892.
The memorial proposes the issuance of
$15,000,000 of District of Columbia bonds
as a guarantee fund for the expenses of
the exposition in case Congress should
think it necessary.
The attempt of Delegate Hall, of
England, and his associates to run the
Maritime Conference to suit themselves
was defeated yesterday by the combina -
tion of the United States and South
American delegates. The “Board at
Whitehall,” as it is called, opposed the
congress from the first and only joined
in irs deliberations by order of the gov
ernment. The Board is the antiquated
barnacle that lias for generations fixed
marine regulations in Great Britain.
When the conference was first proposed
this organization felt shocked and griev
ed that any body of men on the face of
the earth should have to supersede its
authority. They did finally consent to
enter the conference for the discussion
of one subject only, viz; the “rules of
the road.” These settled they would re
fuse further participation in the deliber
ations. By the circumlocution office
this state of offairs reached the ears of
•Lord Salisbury, who immediately order
ed that the English delegates should
participate in the entire conference.
This order was imperative, but in revenge
Hall et al have engaged passage for
home for Decetnbei 11, and endeavor by
every possible means to rush through
the business that must be completed be
fore they leave. Business was rush* d
through last week in indecent haste
without consideration or discussion.

Mr. H. H. Mott says, his hogs tire now
eating the second crop of peanuts, or
ground peas, from the same vines. The
first crop came on in August and the
hogs were turned in. They eat off all
the peas, and were taken out, leaving
the vines growing by the tap root. A
new crop of runners soon shot out front
the vines and produced another good
crop of peanuts. He says he believes
the second would have been the best
crop if he had thrown fresh dirt around
the vines.
