Washington, June 14. —[Special]—Tho
Sault Ste. Marie and the Galveston bills
have been heavily discussed (.his week aud
on this Saturday night no more ia known
of them than on last Saturday. The facts in
regard to them are those:
As outlined three months ago the repub-
lican party, constantly reminded of its
promises to the soldiers and forced to ap-
propriate enormous sums to placate them,
would finally got scared through tear
that the treasury would sound as an empty
barrel in a year after they had charge
of It. Joe Cannon of Illinois, who
is Reed's first lieutenant, uttered a
warning cry a month ago on tho
iloor of the house against the race tho re-
publicans were ruuning. Soon after this
his dissatisfaction to the Galveston bill
cropped out. lie was startled at the
amount asked and wanted the matter de-
ferred until next session. Close observers
construed thin to mean that Heed would
not be satisfied, and so it came about that
the speaker refused for along time to put a
man on the committee on rules in place of
Carlisle. Aa tho committee stood ho and
Cannon were unfavorable to both bills,
whllo Blount aud McKlnley woro not op-
posed to them. After a while he placed
McMillin on the committee, who is a friend
of Galveston. This brought the matter to
a Bhowdown.
Now Harrison has also become frightened
as has Blaine. Both have expressed them'
selves as surprised at tha way the money is
going. Reed and Harrison are iu constant
communication and they understand each
other thoroughly.
A dozen or more senators have called on
Reed in regard to appointing a day. Nearly
overy Texas congressman and congressmen
from the northwest havo called on bim.
He was stiff to the senators and Indefinite
to tho representatives, lie gave all to un
derstand after McMillan's appointment
that the republican party could not stand
such appropriations as SO,£00,000 for Gal-
veston aud $500,000 for tho Sault Ste Marie,
lie was emphatic and posltivo about this,
and it meant thnt|Harrj,son stood with hlui
Tho friends of the two measures diacussod
the situation from everv point.
The Galvoston poople then resorted to a
cbango in tho bill for more time. An
amendment was drawn np to the bill which
provide.? for putting tho work under con-
tract aud making an appropriation suffi
clent for carrying on the work for tho ue.xt
llscal year. This proposition was referred
to hiin, and he informed Mr. Crain that it
suited him better than anything yet sub-
mitted. He also told Perkins of Kansas
the same thing, btill he did not set any
day or say any day had been set. The most
that hn3 yet been secured from him is that
the matter had been discussed by the com
mittee. Tho effect pf this amendment
would be to tlx the obligation of the gov-
ernment to complete the work, and the pay-
ments would bo made yearly by the civil
sundry bill which always passes. The gov-
ernment lotting the contracts to completo
the job would be bound to carry it to the
end, and the matter would be thus taken
from tho river and harbor bill. The friends
of tha measure here think this is better
than the pending measure.
the federal election bill.
The federal election bill has been reports
ed and the question of Its passago is now
being most diligently discussed. The gen-
eral opinion is that it will be allowed to
rest on the calendar until the middle ot
July, when the republican party will be
able to find out whether or not they enn get
it through tho senate any lime this year. If
they conclude they can not they will ad-
journ.
There was some talk lioro about a scheme
to get Morton away in order to relieve him
of the work and put Ingalls in the chair,
who would shut off the debate without pay-
ing any attention to democratic protests.
Ingalls is proud of his record as tho presi-
dent pro torn, and those who know him say
ho would iudlgnautly spurn any proposi-
tion to do 3uch work. This being tha case,
there is no way to shut off debate except to
frame rules. "The republicans will not do
this, as it would be an indorsement of Reed,
and they are not much inclined to make
him any larger than he is.
Still 3ome argue that as this bill is to af-
fect the houbo alone the senate in Its cour-
tesy .will agree to it if it is passed by the
house, as the house agrees to all matters
which the senate thinks best for Itself.
The democratic speakers are open iu their
declaration that they will talk until this
congress expires by law and thus preyont
the passage of the measure.
sam randall.
As good as Sam Randall was and as much
as tho congressmen professed to havo ad-
mired him, not moro than thirty numbers
of tho house wero in their seats to-day to
hear eulogies on him and the most of those
wore busy writing. The gallorias wore also
empty. Mrs. Randall, her daughter and
son. were in the gallery, the ladies iu deep
mourning. It was a sad commentary upon
the endurance of man's friendships to see
the empty seat3 in tho house where tho dead
had so many friends when he was iu his
power and glory.

FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.
THE GALVESTON BILL.
what mr. crain wires.
On Thursday afternoon Mr. Leo N. Levi
received the following dispatch from Repre-
sentative Crain:
Washington, June 12. —To Leo N. Levi,
Galveston: The Galveston bill will receive
consideration this session. Reliable.
- Crain.
There being no confirmation of or refer*
ence to the matter in the Washington dis-
patches of Thursday and Friday nights, Mr.
Levi yesterday vrired Mr. Grain, asking for
his reasons for sending the dispatch and
telling him to send facts, not opinions. To
this dispatch came the following answer:
.WASltttiSIMS, JlMS li-i'O Uo L«Yi;
TIIH republicans will make one.
Washington, Juno 14. - [Special] —The
republican caucus a few niizhts ago agreed
that the republican mem burs of congress
should pass a federal election law bill. Tho
contemplation of tho effect of this measure
may affright the souls of all patriots, still
there was a sigh of relief from all sides
when the conclusion was finally arrived at
by the party in power. For since the begin-
ning of this congress, six months ago, there
has not been a moment when this subject
hap been absent from tho minds of either.
Tho democrats have looked on tho passage
of such a law aa not only Iu direct conflict
with the principles of this government, but
to them it appeared as a cold-blooded de-
termination ou the part of the republican
party to have the torch lit and the gun
loaded in the south that they thereby might
secure a further lea<je of power. The re-
publicans have considered it strictly from
a party standpoint. Making campaign
after campaign ou the cty that the republi-
cans in the south were cheated ;,nd mur-
dered and promising that If that party ouco
succeedod to power they would pass an elec-
tion law which would euro the
evils they complained of, even the
little conscience tlioy possessed required
them to do something as an earnest of their
honesty iu crying out against uvlis and iu
fulfilling their promises. There were and
are some among'thom who turn away from
tho contemplated legislation as disgusting
and will perhaps cast their votes with v,hen-
backs to the speaker. But the idea here is
that iu spite of their disapproval o£ the
measure that all-powerful whip of the lead-
ers will bring them into line aud reouire of
their mouths that which their hearts most
cordially hate. Tho caucus demand is the
tyrant which rules the republican party in
the house. This is no longer denied. When
the silver coinage measure was before it
there wero eighteen or nineteen republicans
who dec'ared they would not submit to the
bill agreed upon. But of their number only
eight or uino stuck out. The balance
went whining Into the ranks as lteod and
his lieutenants popped tho lash to them.
These malcontents were western men whose
constituencies oppose the silver bill as it
stands. If with that kind of backing they
can be driven from their position how can
any one oxpect them to put tho caucus at
defiance in a measure intended for use, or
rather irritation, alone, in the south? It is
unnecessary hero to give all tho details of
the bill. I have heretofore pointed out the
features of several bills. This bill which is
to cotao will bo a mixture of all, but will
retain tho registration and supervisor fea-
pervij
bills.
tures of the Lodge and Rnwell
the coming bill
v. i' 1 absolutely put iu the hands of super-
visors tl e federal elections. The feature to
which the greatest,objection is made is
hwhich makes tho certificate ooloctiou
Issued by the supervisor full authority for
tho clerk of the houso of representatives to
place on tho rolls of said bouse the name ot
the man to vrhom the certificate is given.
Tiiis will it^o him a congressman till he
i < turned onT of office. Anyone thinking
over this for a moment will see what is In-
tended by the republicans and what will be
tho result. They intend that, tha super-
visors of the south shall certify 11 the elec-
tion of all republicans who were in a race
for congresr. Tho result will be that tho
republicans n at the next congress have
onough da facto members from the south,
in spite of their defeats In tho north, to so-
cure the organization of tho houso, and se-
curing it secure a speaker and r committee
on olections who will retain the south-
ern members, elected by the certificates
of supervisors, in their seats whether
they were elected or not. And again, this
law Is expected to become operative just
before the next presidential election. In
certain part3 of the south tho people are
expected to resist this trespass on their
homo affaiis. Blood will flow and the
grand old party will throw its hat high in
air over the event. Then it can take the
field with tho bloody shirt for a banner.
Then it enn refuse to discuss their robbery
by tho tariff, can ignoro tho depressed con-
dition of agricultural affairs and sneer at
tho charge that our merchant marine has
been destroyed by them. They will refuse
to discuss these trivial matters when blood
is flowing in tho south. They will howl
down all candidates who desire to talk of
such things when the traitors of the south
are taking the lives of American citi-
zens and oven have their hands raised
against the laws of their country. It is
frightful to contemplate that American
politics has bccome base enough to encour-
age murder. Yet it is so. The re-
publicans bolieve tho election law will
cause blood to be shed, and when it is shed
the north will perpetuate tha republican
party in power. Thcro may be those whose
imaginations, drawing a frightful picture
that.I-have only outlined, will causa them
to hope that tho bill may not pass. Let
them not indulge iu hope. Tosmorrow they
may see that they havo indulged only in a
dream rather than iu a reasonable hopo.
What Tom Reed wills will bo done. This
American republic with its boasted indi-
viduality and independence of men 13 abso •
lutely under his thumb. Democrats havo
been ousted from their seats in a most fla-
grant way. Ho with his olection committee
have selected them for slaughter as tho
farmer selects a fat ox for tho Knife.
When thoy have not had testimony on
which to base a case they have gone beyond
and declared that their failure to secure
sufficient evidence was caused by a con-
spiracy of which the sitting member was a
jarty to prevent such evidence from com-
ng to light. Therefore, they would punish
him for tho conspiracy by turning him out
of his seat. They did "this in the case of
Featherstone vs. Cate from Arkansas. Reed
has control of the committee on rules.
That committee appoints tho day for tha
consideration of measures, and he will sea
to it that this election law case gets a day.
how bills are brought up.
Right hero it may be well to state that
there is a goneral error in regard to the
manner in which bills are brought up and
passed. The rule is that each bill must
take its turn unless unanimous consent can
be had.
It is very difficult to obtain unanimous
consent. The committee on rules comes ia
,nd asks that the rules be suspended and a
measure put on its passago. So it will
seem that the legislation done is not done
under Reed's rules, but done by killing or
suspending the rules for the tlma being.
Reed is receiving great credit for the dis-
patch of business under the rules. Ho de-
serves nothing of the kind, The business
is dono by the rule* being set aside. He has
a committee that does his bidding. He
simply tolls It that ho wants a cortain
measure brought up and forthwith the
committee suggest that the measure be
brought up; that all rules be put aside and
that a vote shall bo taken at a certain time.
The republicans in the house who hi»ve
seen Cheadlo of Indiana and Culberson of
Pennsylvania disciplined by being refussd a
renomination becausa thoy rebelled against
the hich powers of their party are perfectly
willing to vote as the committee on rules
suggests.
And so this committee may bring in a
resolution that tho election bill bo taken up
and disposed of in a day or two,aud it will be
done. What chance is there thou for des
{eating this measu:«. A slim one—a siim .

erative body the people possessed nt Wash-
ington. Tho remark was generally com-
mented on and agreed to. In the honse tlio
debate is limited by the committees which
order cloture, or the previous question, at iv
certain time. Within the time sot for de-
bate at this session the questions before tho
body havo not been gone Into. The speecnes
made have not been at the subject but for
political effect.
In the senate there Is no previous ques-
tion. When a senator swings out in a
speech (here is nothing that can stop him
except exhaustion or tho wrath of God.
Tho other senators need not sit and listen.
They can go Into the cloak rooms and chat,
but they dare not raise a murmur against
the prolix character of their brother's
speech. Tho senators' "drivel," as some
irreverent people have called tho speeches
of this house of lords, has been laughed at
aud sneered at from one end of the country
to tho other. But it can not be denied that
when a question comes before that body it
is fully discussed.
there is no naste there.
There is no Tom Reod there. There aro
no iules there aud no suspension of rules in
order to whip through a measure. Theonly
law that governs tho body is the law of pro-
priety, and such propriety as diizni'.y
frames. So it may happen that wo shall
yet seek protection under this sapless tree
that wo havo sneered at. There was talk of
framiug rules for the senate like that of tha
house. Chandler proposed it, but the sug-
gestion did not meet with much applause
it seems; af least nobody has heard much of
it since it was offered. The senators con-
sider it a reflection on them and they
frowned down the bumptious New Hamp-
shire man. It is not believed that the
senate, so "sot" is it iu its ways, will
ever agree to any changes in its methods of
doing business. Then again, oveu if it saw
the necessity of such a change, it would
hesitate to make it, as it woulcl scruple to
dignify Tom Reed and his way of doing
things. There are several candidates for
the republican nomination for president in
tho senate; so when the federal election
matter comes before tho senate there will
be at least thirty speeches on it. There can
bo no limit to these speeches. Tha
democrats say they will speak
till November. Tho republicans
can not stop them, even if they should de-
sire to do so. Perhaps thoy will indorso
this method of disposing of the bill. They
can explain that they would havo passed
the bill if the democrats had permitted and
thus save their bacon politically, and yet
feel that thoy had escaped the comni'ssion
of a crime. So wo soo that from that of
which wo have all so loudly complained
may come relief from a legislation tha
most iniquitous yet suggested by a party
