WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.Washington, Feb. 3rd, 1888.
Among the little things and bigthings that Lave been done in con-
gress this week, I will mention thatthe senate unanimously and withoutdebate voted to substitute the 30thof April for the 4th of March as in-
auguration day. They also votedthat the term of office of the preaident and of the Fiftieth congressshall continue till the 30th day ofApril, 1889, at noon; that the sen-
ators whose existing term would ex-
pire on the 4th of March, 1889,(and thereafter) shall . continue . inoffice till tha 30th of April succeed -
in? soch SYptratteA, and tiat ' tt30th of April shall thereafter besubstituted for the 4th of March asthe commencement and terminationof the official term of the presi-dent, vice-preside- nt, senators andrepresentative in congress.
In the house end of the capitolthere is on the calendar another con-
stitutional amendment awaiting avote. It Axes the day for the meet-ing of congress on the first Mondayin January, and the time for finaladjournment at noon on the 31st ofDecember. This, you see, wouldpractically make a continuous ses-
sion for the two years term, inter-rupted by such recesses as bothhouses should agree to.
The senate has agreed to give a81,2000,000 public building to Ne-
braska's thriving city of Omaha, andthe house has voted to favor withpublic buildings Greenville, 8. C.,Portsmouth, Ohio, Asheville, N. C,Springfield, Mo., and Monroe, La.
Prohibition bills, memorials andpetitions continue to pour in uponboth houses. One of the latest andstrongest is the result of the yearlymeeting of the Society of Friendsiu Baltimore, which shows that theFriends do not believe iu half-wa-y
measures. The petition calls for aconstitutional amendment prohibit-ing the manufacture, exportation,iiiuxiilalion, transportation and saleof liijuoiw iu the United States. Pe-
titions continue- to bo presentedalso iu favor of tho proposed con-
stitutional ceuteunial celebration tobe held iu this city.
To give you an idea of the de-
mands made by constituents andother callers made upon our law-
makers, which should bo spent, dur-in- g
the daily session at least, in at-
tention to public business, I willmention that tho doorkeeper at thevarious entrances to the floor of thehouse kept tally on last Tburoday ofthe cards sent in to members duringthe day. Owing to the bad weatherthere happened to be fewer peopleat the capitol than usual, yet 1700cards were sent iu. This did not in-
clude those sent iu from the ladiesreception room, which would havenumliered several hundred more.
There was a little contest in theseuate over the one cent postagebill In presenting the senatorialpostoflice committee's adverse re-
port upon tho dainty measure, Chairman Sawyer stated that the post- -
office department was not self-su- p
porting yet, and therefore it was nottime to attempt any further reduction on letter postage. SenatorsIteck, Hoar, Piatt and others eachlielieved in penuy postage. Theyargued that the people wanted anddemanded better and cheaper mailservice, and that they had neverasked that the postoflice departmentshould be self-sustainin- g, nor hadthey ever complained of extravagance In that branch of the govern-- H
ment.Members of the bouso generally
favor the reduction of noatage. ondrop letters at least, to one cent.There are other bills ou the subjectbesides the one snubbed by the senate committee; and others are beingprepared which will be introducedat an early day. During the onecent discussion, Senator Beck saidhe could not understand how thegovernment could afford to carrybonnets, harness and all kind ofmerchandise over tho country fora cent au ounce and not lie able locarry the intelligence of the peopleat the same rate.
It is said that the forthcomingtariff bill, which is lieing framedwith such care that it is expected toplease tho whole country, is not of aradical character. The revenue reformers who are clamoring for a reduct ion on the necessaries of lifewill lo pleased, it is thought, withthe disposition of wool, woolengoods, cotton goods and sugar. TheRandall democrats will be placatedwith the duties of tobacco cut some$20,000,000. while the whisky taxwill not be touched.

Port Angeles, on tie Strait ofJuan da Fuca, in Washington ter-ritory, is all aglow with enthusiasmover the prospect of possessing arailroad in the near future. A cor-respondent of a Seattle paper statesthat there is a natural outlet for arailroad from Port Angeles to Port-land ria Gray's harbor, and througha country, too, whose local trafficwould be immense of itself. Thiswould bo the connecting link in thechain of railways from tho coalmines ef Vancouver Island to SanFrancisco. With this link com-
pleted, a steam ferry would be allthat would be needed to send coalfrom the mines to San Franciscowithout breaking bulk.
