Show Washington Letter. (Prom Onr Hcgulnr Corrtrporilri.l.) Notwlll.Bt.indlng tho had langungc and llipbad manners which havo liccoino po conspictou on tho floor ot tho Senate Sen-ate few men nro ainlahlowhen suffering suffer-ing from tho heat, and tho atmosphere in ll.o Senate thn.nbcr has been awful during Ihc protracted spell of hot weather wo arc having tho larllT bill Iibh not jet been voted upon, and Is not likely lo lie until next week. Hut so certain Is everybody that tho bill will bo punned that the public interest Is now foe u need upon the Senators nnd UeptoMMitatlvt's who aro regarded as tho prohnhlo members mem-bers of thu coiifercnco commtttco to which the bonce will fond Iho bill, for 'nobody takes any Flock In tho talk about mi attempt being mado by the administration lo compel tho Iloiino lo accept Iho Senate amendments lo the bill bo as to avoid tho delay that will follow Bending the bill to a conference. That President Cleveland Is Inipat ut nt tlio delay is very well known; b. It is nlso known (lint thero aro eoimi of thuSeiiatcnmriidmenlH which ho vvlchcs to sec (hanged licforo it is Bent lo him. The following will, I think, bolounda good guess at Iho make-up of the conference con-ference eoniiuitlie: On Iho part of tho Senate, Vooihccs, Man Is, Jones and Vest, democrats, nnd Sherman, Aldrlch and Allison, Ilcpublicnns; on thu part ot tho House, Wilson, Turner, Breckinridge, Breckin-ridge, of Ark. , and McM.llln, democrats, and Heed, Burrows and Payne, republicans. repub-licans. If tho dcmocsatlc Senators named wero lo vote In ncrordanco will, their personal opinions, tlio Scnato amendmenta would nil be swept away but It la expected that they will instead v ii.. In accordance willi tho democratic agreement In the Senate hy wiiu.li loose amendments were adopted nnd endeavor togelBB many as poBsiblo of them accepted ac-cepted by tbo lontcicncc and havo as few changeBa9 poB-dblo mado In those which uienibcra of tlio Houso positively refuse tonicept. Tho iinprcBBlon is that there will bo some radicle change mado In conference. .Uoprrttutiitlvca Ditvls, of KaiiB, Jind Mngiilro, of California, made arguments argu-ments thla week before ll.o Houso Post Ofllieioinii.llleo In favorof Government owuernhipof telegraph lines. Mr. Davis said Iho work of tho teh graph monotioly was not satisfactory ; that tho coplo get us n rule perverted news; that these objection would ceaso Willi ownership; that more men would bo emplojcd nnd better wagea paid, not only on the tcli graph Unia but in other occupations that aro now hampered by tho telegraph monopoly. Mr. Maguiro said ho waa opposed lo tho issue of tho bond, but would gladly Btiport ti bill for the issue ot 'jri,(ltKl,000 in :i (icri cut bonds it the money be used lodiiplknlu tlio Western Union Telegraph iitanl. Ho said he had done considerable llgtiring on the subject nnd was salislled that the Hiiiouutspeiilltd would bo ample. Unless Picsident Cleveland shall interpcsihls vtto, which la nit likely, Ialmr Day will bo added to tlio legtl holidaysot tho U died States, tbo Ilouso having lid week passed tho Senate bill nroviding thcro.W. Representative Ilolman, of Indinn, whoto political jitdgemeut ought to be goo.1 it long experieneo counts for any-tbhig, any-tbhig, says ho docs not expect tlio democrats demo-crats to elect n majorily of the uext House. He does not expect tho republicans repub-licans to havo a majority, cither. His idea is that the sllvcriiuestlou will bring ulwut the elcttiou of a sufllclcnt nuui-oer nuui-oer of populists to give them tho balance ut power In tbo next House, and that, by the way.ls precisely the claim that the iionullBf) in Congress have been making (or months. The republicans profess conlldltice In their ability to elect a good working majority of tbo House. Next November will tell the story. Coxey turned up again this week 'to Ci.i.li I.N argument before the Scnato cuuiniitlce on Hedtiction and Labor, In favorof his gooil loads hill.
