WASHINGTON, Jan. 18th 1899.
Bella Worrida Bella :!
commenced my budget this morning
with a choice piece OF scandal. What
would letters be without little seasoning
oil this ingredient? lthas Just been whis-
p.red in my ear, By gentleman well &C
auaiated with the facts, that formidable
though not fatal personal rencontre took
place Yesterday at one Of the Departments,
between a Secretary and ci-dsvant Gen.
erai Of the United States Army; who now
branishes the pen with as much dexteri.
ty. and with about the same effect, as he
once did the sword. His addresses 10 his
constilue nts 'come singly and in pairs. J"
aui are paraded in awful array against his
political enemy. But to the story, On the
truth Of winch our readers may place tull
reliance. Yesterday the General called
at one of the aepa' tmenls> and requested
no matter what Nh. B - would
do il with the permission OF the Secretary,
no, without The General then called at
the apartment OF the Secretary to obtain
his assent. He read the certificate, and
then asked for the signature. IL was re-
piled that il could not be signed, as it con-
tanned what was not true. The General
asserted that 1t was true, and here the par
ties were at issue. Whereupo8 the Vir-
gilman, waxing bot in his wrath. tore the
certificate in pieces and trampled it under
foot The Secretary bethinking himself,
that this rencontre and the cause oft might,
like some other events in his life. be liza
bic to pervesion, coolly aud deliberately
set about gathering up the fragments, as
memorial and witness OF the transaction.
In this he was Interrupted by the General,
who proclaimed in very angry tone that
he should no, have the certificate, which
was his property. Whether any thing
beyond storm OF words easued, or will
ensue, ! have been. unable to ascertain;
but il is certain scene Of great violence
occurred, aud mutual determinations and
charges Of ialsebood passed between the

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
Before the Columbian Congress clos
ed the sittings Of the late session, autho-
rity was granted to the Executive to or
game The navy, and to increase or d.
minish the army, as might be thought
expedient, with authority also to draw
on tire treasury for all sums necessary
TO these obJecls--,he executive to render
a strict account thereof to the mex. Con-
gress. The Government not having
been vested with this power hitherto,
was often the cause Of great delay in mi
litary operations.
