The fact that Major McKtnloy arrived this
morning and registered at the Gbbltt house
gave rise to the iniprosstoti that ho bad
como for tlio purpaso of opening bis cam
paign for thu speakership , nnd It was Im
mediately assumed that ho would open his
headquarters at once , but McKIulcy came
only to settle his family for the wlntor , nnd
ho had no sooner accomplished this than ho
Immediately started for Now Yorkwhcra ho
has some important private business to at
tend to Ho said to your correspondent this
attorpoon that ho really know very little
about the contest , as ho had been too busy
to take much notlco of what the nowspaucrs
have had to say during tha past two months
Ho admitted , however , that ho Is in accord
with the general Impression which prevails -
vails In Wusldngton that If cither
ho or Mr Ucod Is elected it will
be before the fourth ballot Is tulicn Ucyond
this bo did not euro to discuss the BUbJcct at
nil at the present time Ho returns next
week
Mr Itood has been heard from Ho writes
to n friend that ho will bo in Washington
about the 1Mb.
Mr Uurrows Is rxpectod dally and Messrs
Hen dcrson una Cannon are already in the
lleld The arrival of Mr Rood will probably
bo followed by the incoming of a cre.it many
members or tbo lower bonso At present
thcro are very few here In fact the old
employes of the house postofllco , where nil
the members register upon their arrival , say
that-thoy do not recall a time when thcro
were so few members in the city so close to
the opening of the house for the first ses
sion
sion.Whllo thcTgrcatcst Interest is ceutcrod in
the coming of the men who plav the princi
pal pan In the speakership struggle nil in
terested are awaiting eagerly the nrrivat of
some of the members of the Now York delp-
gutloii Now York has nlnotuen republican
members , and at a dinner given on the last
day of February all of thnni entered Into an
agreement to bo guided by the majority in
the matter of tlio speakership Thcro was
no one nnmo mentioned , at that time , but it
was understood that tlio delegation would
meet again before the caucus and agree upon
the candidate to whom shall bo given the
nineteen votes of the Empire state It is
understood that another dinner will
bo glvcu to this delegation next week
Und It will decide the question as
to the position of Now York It i for this
reason thatr nil urn almost as deeply in
terested iu the arrival of the recognized
leaders of the New York contingent as in
that of the candidates themselves The im-
proaslin is gouerul that the Now York votes
will go to Uced , but it is only an impression

that wo will continue to lend our influence

lust and tin wise for tint organization to pledge
Its IniiuotiuR , support or nlleglanco to any

has lately decliicd , such pledge of influence ,
