WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON June 23.-Gen. VIM. Cur
tis, president of the civil service reform
association. having notified in private
circular letter the government employees
that, by contributing to the republican con-
gressional fund they were liable to prose
cution, under Section 6, chapter 2S7. of the
United States statutes. advising them not
the congressional committee, writes Curtis
that he has misquOted the law and pro-
poses to unite with Curtis in asking the
president to get the opinion of the attorney
general on the subject, or to settle the
question in any other way.
Guiteau's counsel is arranging for an in
terview with the president.
Mr. Allison, who managed the bill to ex-
tend the charters of national banks with
such great ability, vigorously opposed
Morgan's amendment, which proposed to
secure the equality of silver and gold.
The insane asylum people here desiring
a respite for Guiteau were refused hear
ing by the attorney general, who asked
them to submit new points in writing which
he would consider with other papers. DIR.
Beard then prepared the necessary docu
ment, and in it says: "Within the past
month, and even within the past week, the
change in public and professional senti
ment has been very rapid indeed. Where
to-day the profession stands, tomorrow all
will stand that Gu;teau was insane, and
consequently irresponsible. It will not only
be general but a universal verdict OF the
world" Counsel for Guiteau made formal
application to the President this evening
for a respite that he may bring question OF
jurisdiction before the supreme court at
the next term, beginning October first.

CONGRESS-.
HOUSE.

|, WASHINGTON, D. c., June 22.-Mr.
Kasson from the ways and means eommit-
tee, reported back the bill amending the
statutes regarding the manner of the as
! sessment of duties on sugar.
Referred to the committee of the whole.
The house went into committee on the
internal taxation bill.
| Kasson, of Iowa, said at the beginning
of the session that the committee on ways
and means had determined that the reve-
nue. of the country could be safely reduced,
and two modes have been presented, one TO
attack tariff system at once by reduction,
which might or might not have effect in
decreasing it.
The tariff committee felt that it couldn't
attack tariff without disturbing business,
and thefore brought in commission bill and
provided means for learning what duties
could most safely be reduced.
The other mode was to reduce internal
revenue and taxation, and this the bill, in
judgment. wisely accomplished. He hoped
further reduction could be made next ses-
sion, as he did not like the establishment
of whiskey saloons all over the country.
and he did not want the government to be-
come perfectly dependent upon whiskey
shops for revenue for that reason, and he
would gladly see the day come when the
entire Legislation on whiskey interests
might be turned over to the states,
Sparks, of Illinois, attacked the entire
system of internal revenue, but announced
his opposition to the pending bill on the
ground that the burdens of taxation were
removed from the rich and not from the
poor.
Springer of I'll nois, also expressed his
opposition to the internal revenue laws,
and criticised the republican party for hav
ing nj this late day brought in this pitiful
little measure, and he intimated that their
purpose in making this slight reduction
was that the treasury might be overflow
ing and that extravagant appropriations
might be made. Retrenchment and econ
omy had been offered and laughed at by
the gentlemen on the other side, who
would submit to nothing but the old flag
and appropriation at the proper time. He
should move the recommittal of the bill,
with instructions to the committee on
ways and means to report bill abolishing
all internal revenue taxes and internal rev
enue officers, excepting tax of ten per
cent on bank circulation, and laws relat
ing to distilled spirits.
When the committee rose, eulogies were
delivered upon the life and character of
Thomas Allen, of Missouri, Robinson, of
others.
Adjourned.

swering affidavit of Hildrup, which AYERS

relative of the president such appoint

rules, and that Hildrup was appointed
with the understanding that Stillwell
should be his deputy at an unusual salary.
Hiidrup says these allegations are untrue;
that the law did not allow him to give
any salary above the fixed one, and that he
can disprove the statements by President
Hayes himself. but has been unable as yet

/ The reports to the State Department at
Washington show that in the year 1881
more iron vessels, both sailing and steam
craft, were built in Great Britain than in
any previous year of her history. The
Tyne sent out 1913 vessels; the Wear, 49,;
the Tees, 81; Hartlepool, 80; Blyth, 10;
Whitby, 5. In addition large number
of vessels were built on the Clyde, at
Aberdeen and Dundee, on the Mersey
and the Barrow. The building for the
year foots up the enormous total Of
$50, 531 tons. England is fast obtain
ing the sscendancy in the carrying trade
at the close of 1880 she had 10, 972
vessels, aggregating 6,344, SIT tons. The
number of seamen employed was 1922
972. Commenting on these statistics, the
New York Herald is led to remark: eff
there is any craftsmanship left at Wash
ingtOn these figures should arouse stten.
ton at once to the humilisting condition
of our carrying trade. A large portion
of these vessels are engaged in trans
porting American goods. The profits
all go into British pockets. 1t is estima-
ted that we spend more than one hun
dred million dollars year in this way.
Is not that a little too much to pay
foreigners for the benefit of Mr.. Roach

Gas Still Holding Its Ground.

One need not be astoRished at anything
these days, for we have scarce time to
recover from the surprise of one inven-
ton before another equally as startling
is heralded forth. 1t was only little
while ago that gas stock received ''black
eye" from electricity, and predictions
were numerous that its days were num-
bered as an illuminant, but now we find
these stocks rapidly regaining their for
mer values from the introduction OF
new processes and wider fields for con-
sumption. The latest we notice is the
following from a recent issue Of the OIL
and Drug Nelos, of New York;
"The Equitable Gas Company has
been incorporated in this State with
capital of s., 900, 900. 1t is proposed to
manufacture gas under the new patents
OF the late Jessie Du MOlay. The pro-
cess extracts the hydrogen from water,
enriches it with naphtha, and it can be
so enriched that a light of fftY-candle
power is attainable. The cost, it is said,
will be less than 81 so per thousand feet
Besides giving this light, the company
proposes to run a main alongside of the
gas pipes, which viii conduct gas Of less
purity for the purposes of heating and
cooking. The invention, it is claimed,
will create a complete revolution in arti-
fetal lights. Experiments which have
been made at the water gas works OF the
Municipal Company, in this city, have
been successful. 1t Is probable that the
Fulton Municipal Company, Of Brook
Ign, which is also making water gas,
will commence the manufacture OF the
inuminant under the new process"
