It ia asserted that letters of this tenor have been sent to leading Republican* in Nebraska, Kansas and throughout the Mouth and West The Indianans, although oa ten*,bly committed to McKinley, are ready for an emergency that would make Harrison a strong probability.

The depart ment a purpose in the Issuance of this order ia to do what can be done legiti mately to prevent future exports of gold f i.a .w/lsaw han a trintflk ntiriWKlf*: First, it will raise the price at which gold can be exported profitably, the price exchange now being dangerously near the export point; second, it ie re garded as good policy to get rid of coin instead of bars, because the former frequently has lost weight through abrasion; third, it ie intended to meet the action of the Bank of llr.giaud in raising the price of gold bars to 71 chilling* 10 pence, and thus practically lowering the rate of ex change at which gold can be shipped from the United Staten to (Jreat Brit ain to about 9i.otb4 to 'I reasury officials admit the issuance of the order, but will not talk further concerning it.

March '/7.—The inve ligat ion of copyright law*, which has been carried on for several week* by the llmise committee oti iiatenta, will probably lead to a more or les* com- i pi ehensive revision of the copyright 1 system. One of the principal changes likely to re-ult will be the establish- i mein of a bureau of copyright* in con neetion with the t ongressional libra ry, which now has charge of all tliu copyright business, but which lias not a sufficiently large clerical force to properly handle this work. Mr. Ifpofford. the librarian of Con gress lias been asked to report to the committee the amendments to the present luw which he considers desir able, arid when the committee ha* discussed his rei minendstlons. a sub stltute for the Treloar bill, embody ing such improvement as meet the approval of the member* will be drawn up. Then Ueneral Draper, , chairman of the committee, will sub-j mil the bill to all copyright leagues . and other organizations which haven j legitimate interest In the subject and elicit th'dr opinions. More hearings before Die committee may be made necessary. The program outlined will probably lake most of the remain der of this session, so that there is little probability that any new law will be enacted before the next sea •loo. TEXAS WOMEN ACT.

The Heed and Allison men, it is un derstood, are preparing to puncture tome of the cluims on which McKin ley's claim to popularity rests The impression is general and the McKin ley managers arc endeavoring to atrerigtin ii it in the popular mind, that McKinley, in addition to being entitled to the principal credit for the protective tariff bill which (rears his name, ia also the originator of the reciprocity agreements. Senator tieur has stated that, far from McKinley being entitled to the credit for these agree incuts, they were, in fact, the work of Senators Allison and Al drich, and that McKinley fought them with all his might. An authoritative statement on this ijnestion from the Allison managers may he expected be fore long. It is also being bodly asserted that McKinley never wrote a tariff sched ule, and tlireuta of telling how they were written are being made.

Cleaves, * Governor of Maine: My Hear Gov ernor: Including elections held to day, there have been hut 875 delegate* elected to the Republican national convention. There are thlrty-alx con tested cases, which are not given to any candidate, because It is unfair to assume that these cases will be de cided either hy the national committee or the convention.

The withdrawal of Cush roan j K. Davis, made necessary hy the Mc Kinley capture of the Minnesota con [ ventlon, was a severe blow to the other candidates. It was felt more ' than any other thing that ha* hap pened. Until two or three days ago, the possibility that Davis might fall ; to bold Minnesota was not admitted. 1 By noon It became known at both snds of the capitol that Senator Davis had sent a telegram announcing his ( withdrawal.

Mr. Keed, in conversation with friends, admitted that McKinley was obtaining much more strength In the North than he had oxpeoted, but he said the situation iu the South had , been misrepresented in the dlspaches. and McKinley had not the votes there which were being claimed for him.

The llcmocraia, except Mr. Cum mings of New York, who spoke, a* lie said, “as one of 800,000 Democrats who fought In the Union army,” and Mr. Wilson of South Carolina, who was drawn into the debate by Mr. Iloutelle, refrained entirely from par ticipation. Mr. Hull of Iowa, chair mau of Ilia military committee, who hod charge of the hill, admlMod It would subserve no practical pur pose, and was largely sentimental Mr Iloutelle, who led the opposition, single-handed, thought it would furn ish a bad object lesson for naval and military candidates who were about entering on careers iu the ser vice of their country, and when he got warmed up to his subject, called at tention to the fact that many Southern men in Congress In the past had obstructed legislation in the Interest of Union soldiers, dwelling particular ly on tha opposition to the retirement of Oeneral Orant. Mr. Orosveuor of Ohio and Mr. flrow of I'enneylvanla, however, supported the bill ardently as a graceful and gracious net to the vanquished, and when the vote was taken Mr. Houteile alone voted against It* passage.
