WASHINGTON CORRESPONDING
Of THE "APPRAL.''


I have been looking on here during
the last month, and have not been able
70 discover any superior energy on the
part Of the law making powers. Some
thing must, Of course, be conceded to
the Impractical hands Of the new Dem
oc-a.ic House OF Representatives; but
that body, granting all that can be said
in its favor. has been remarkably remlss
in its duties. OF the appropriation bills
only Cae has been as yet acted on. Last
wear several such bills were reported and
acted on before Christmas. The hands
Of the Senate are tied, and Senators are
urowing impatient under the restraint to
which they are subjected by the dilatory
action Of the House. Part Of the delay
proceeds from q strong party desire to
ct down expenses of various kinds, for
the purpose OF making political capital for
:herez: campaign, and partly from the ig-
ror4uce Of forms Of business. Expert
iced clerks have been discharged. and
others Ct the same character have re-
signed. leaving the House without
single individual 10 act as instructor.
Confusion. delay and inaccur.oy have
been tie result. NJ. Hill Of Georgia
made Z little Wholesome stir among the
I-nl9a element by his speech in reply to
Blaine but Lamar Of Mississippi, TO
sore extent. retrieved tie Democratic
loss by maxim q toploftical effort on
behalf Of tie centennial appropriation.
Pennsylvania, having an eye on the
S1.-5ae1), applaudcd herself Loarse,
Willie Blaine and Hill were both voted
oorea for obtruding iisagrecable subjects
v1eE money was SO badly wanted by the
Philadelphia slowmeu. Uncle Sam will
dispense all these ducats, the show will

kars who won't light will, with heaven

ENGLAND HAS DECIDED TO RE
MAIN NEUTRAL.
The Russian Army Reported TO Have
Crossed the Pruth.

LONDON, October 20. The British cabinet yes
terdsy decided upon the policy Of abstention for
the present, and IN this policy they have the sup
port Of press and people. This tmoves from con
sderatioH of the chances of peace in Europe one
element which, in the Wedne sday's panic, was
certainly reckoned upon to disturb in case Russia
crossed the Danube.
London Journals editorislly seem inclined to
have Abandoned all hope of the preservation Of
peace between Russia and Turkey.
Berlin newspapers express the opinion that all
the powers of Europe, including Eng land, will be
responsible for Russias action, in consequence of
the failure of their joint efforts to secure peace,
and that il is unjust to suspect Russia of following
the dictates of sef-interest.
The French papers agree that France will do
her best to maintain peace, bat will not take an
active part should the crisis end in war
NEW YORK, October 20. The Herald prints the
following
A special despatch to the Herald from Belgrade
states that the Russian army had crossed the
Pruth. As the information comes from the Ser
Wan capital, however, it is to be feared that The
state ment has been started by the Servian leaders
for the purpose of keeping up the courage of their
men If 1t be true, the end has come. Europe
will then be committed to the greatest war of mod
ern times
LONDON, October 20. 1t is rumored at Bel
grade that Russia is about TO present to the
Porte a six weeks armstice, and the Ell glsh pro
position an ultlmatum.
A Times despatch from Vienna confirms the re-
port of Germauy's r lection OF the proposed six
months armistce and acceptance by the Other
powers. A correspondent thinks Germany throw.

other powers to agree upon compromise which
Russia can accept. lie sees in this prospect o
