Washington March 17. Thero has
nevor been more burpriso in congress
than thoro was when Congressman
Bryan of Nobraska mado his 8ieech on
tho tariff. This gentleman is !12 years
of ace and never held an ofilco till he
came to congres. He has been put in
what is sneoringly called tho kindergar-
ten class.
Thero was somo dissatisfaction shown
by his appointment to tho ways and
means cominitteo and when ho aroso to
mako his sjteech thero was a general
yawn from the old stagers who havo but
little patience with new and fresh men.
Bryan had not spoken fifteen minutes
before he demonstrated that ho know
what ho was doing. As ho proceeded
tho interest increased and it was not
long before ho had tho attention of every
man in the house. Not a member moved
or wrote for tho whole time ho was oa
tho floor. Ho was frequently interrupted
by tho Republicans but ho iuvariabiy
discomfited them.
When ho concluded everybody con-
gratulated him. Thore is the general
expression that ho made tho best speech
that has been delivered in congress for
fifteen years. Ho showed a most re-
markable knowledge of tho dotails ot
the tariff and he easily placed himself
among tho big men of tho country by
this oho effort. His speech is tho uni-
versal topic of conversation in tho city.
Sir Julian ltrqucxtcri to Ilimtenl
Washington March 17. Acting Sec-
retary Wharton was instructed to in-
form Sir Julian Pauncefoto British
minister that tho president desires to
know nt as early a dato as possible the
intention of tho British government in
regard to the proposed renewal of the
modus vivendi of last year for tho pres-
ervation of seal fisheries pending the set-
tlement by arbitration of tho question of
the jurisdictional rights of the United
States in Bering sea. The British min-
ister was requested to call Lord Salis-
bury's attention to Wharton's note ol
tho 8th instant Tho president's desire foi
speedy action is said to be due to recently
developed facts. It is essential to know
whether Great Britain willco operate in
keeping sealers out of Bering sea as oth
erwiso tho execution of that duty falls
solely on tho United States and will ne
cessitate making arrangements that will
scarcely bo effectivo unless completed at
an eaily day. The character of instruc-
tions to our naval and revenuo vessels
destined for duty in Bering sea this sea-
son depend almost altogether on thS
attitude assumed by Great Britain aud
as vessels havo to be in tho vicinity of
tho tea by May 1 it will be seen there
is very little time to spare in prepara-
tions. Italy Will Hitvo ii 2Ilulter.
