WASHINGTON NOTES.
WASHINGTON , December 3. A delegation
"of Philadelphia letter earners called npou
Postmaster General Hilton and
to-day pre
sented a memorial Dialing the character of
'their employment comes within the provision
of the eight hour law , and that they ino entitled -
titled to compensation for the extra hours of
laljor glvon the government since the passage
of the at , and requesting thim to provide n
remedy. The postmaster general informed
thu delegation that congressional action would
1)0 necessary in tha case , a id indicated
a willingness to u further procurement of
uocoasary legislation by all means inhispower.
It Is the opinion of a number of members
of the homo committee on uavnl affaira that
no action will be taken by tha committee on
the recent recommendations of ollicials of the
navy department for appropriations for new
vessels for the navv. Tnoy also think tha
iucommend.ition.-i will not bo favorably con-
bidered by tha house committee of appropria
tions , An attempt to suspend the rules and
pa s the bankruptcy bill will bo mudn in the
early port of .lunuiry. As BUiponNion ro-
iiiiro3 | a two-thirdi vota it is not probable the
attempt will ba successful.

to do with framing any legislation to carry

unfortunate complicity in the affairs of VMi

WASHINGTON , December 3. A few years
ngo Messrs. livnns & Hunter , of St. Louis ,
oxteusivo catlle-raieers , tried to got the secre
tary of the interior to approve a leiwu of pas
ture lands from the Cherokees , The eecro-
tary refused to ajiprovo the lease , because any
such lease WAS a violation of the liovitcd
Statutes , Since that Kvans fc Hunter IIUMI
tccured by lease nearly one million nciea of
laud on the Arapahoe aud Cheyenne reservu-
lion , but Senator Vest hap obsurvcd that while
hia constituents weio informed that the ) CINO
they sought to liavo approved could nut bo
nppiovcd , leases have boon made from limn to
time till at ) ircbenti.Si7Ol'0 ; acres of land in
Indian Territory aio leased in violation of
law to cattle Twiners. Secretary Teller has
taken Ilia somowlmt remarkable position that ,
while the Icnsea were illegal and therefore not
to bo nprovod by him , they were iu the in-
tertwtlTof the Ipilians , and consequently ho
would ceo that grazers who had no lennos
should not molest or infringe on those who
had leases , In other words , the government
AITOIir.l A.MI'I.K I'llOI-KCTION
to the leaseholders , which is nil the approval
that is of any practical value to them.
Senator Vott offered to-day a resolution for
the investigation of this matter by the coin-
mitteo on Indian affairs , nnd the lOHohition
will doubtlusH bo adopted to-morrow. Sonutor
Yost charged gross corruption in Uio | > ro-
curoment of tlio leases , and RtaU'd it an
investigation was made ho was prepared to
give tha particulars of tlio bribery and cor
ruption of Indian oliiciuls reported to by the
caUln-mon. The reason of the htatnto forhiij-
dlng Indians to lease to white inon id that if the
latter could got a foulhold through a lon o
they would soon crowd out the Indians , und
thospecial objections to Indianx leaning thi'ir
lands lo tha cattle ralsei-H is that the
