Washington Letter from the 1882 Capitol Scene
Washington Letter details the congressional process and calm before storms, a Mexican minister’s gala at the Legation, and a ways and means reception for Secretary Folger. It notes the Agricultural Congress in session, a plan to fund Columbia University land for an agricultural experimental station, and a White House visit. Immigrant arrivals in 1880 numbered 157,257 from 70 nations, with a coast-to-coast impact. The St Petersburg dispatch reports six Jeannette crewmen reaching Yakutsk and Melville preparing to join them after a long Lena journey.
