tered with. 1.-THE interests OF parties can,
not be so adjusted and hsrmonized lhstthe
parties can continue the relations Of en-
ploye, then. according to the real or sup,
posed interests Of the parties, they must
separate, not in violence, but according 10

pugilist and voice equal to that of an auc-
tioneer. Naturally Joe is physically the
man to preside over such an unruly body as
the lower branch OF our national legislature.
Where moral suasion often fails, imperti-
nen"e and cheek only wins. II was for this
reason that Blackhurn's friends formerly
urged him for the spcakersbip. On several
contests for that position tine objection was
urged that
JOE WAS QUITE TOO FREE
and easy and too summary in his ideas to be
a safe man in the CHAIR. During the past
week the house has had good taste OF Black
burus style as speaker. Carlisle caught a
bsd cold or his visit TO Cleveland aa'l has
kept in doors since his return aud Joe has
filed the vacant chair. It is said that the
managers wanted man in the chair, during
the week when the new ten objection
rule would be in operation, who
could bulldoze the cranks aud COM
pei the house to behave itself
and do little business. Randall himself is
stopped from taking the chair by the eti-
ouelte Of the house and no other man can
cope successfully with cross grained, mis-
chievous and disorderly spirits. Hence Joe
WAS put in charge and told to make
SHORT WORK WITH DIssENTERS.
For one week at least the managers favored
strong centralized government with Il
despot in the chair, and Blackburn had sand
to qualify nm for the Office. Whether this be
50 or not Blackburn has certainly
been an efficient speaker His voice has roared
through the balls in thunrler tones. His big
muscles have brought the gayel down on the
ecsk with thumps that drowned out dis
orderly shouts OF members and he has been
properly blind aud deaf to wrong persons.
Business las gone of with a rush and objec-
tors, the hair spltters and tie nice inter
pref, rs of the constitution have been suubbed
and subdued.

For the Benefit of o,d soldiers.

Special Telegram.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE senate to-day
passed bill which had previously been
adopted by the house, to authorize a retired
list for privates and nou-commis-
stoned officers of the army, who
have served for thirty years or up
wards. Those thus retired are TO receive
75 per cent. of the pay and allowance OF
rank upou which they are retired. In sup
port nf the bill the military committee re
ported that the annual desrriions from the
army are between three and four thousand,
and any measure that would lessen this
numLer might well be consid-
cred an economical one, but beyond the
question Of economy stands that of justice
II is no more than justice that the soldier
who has given all the best years OF his life
10 the military service Of the country shosld
have some provision made for his old age
besides the present soldiers home, where be
is separated from his family.

Bad News frnrn ST. va ri

LONDON, Feb. IA lyices from Gubat,
dated February l, give gloomy statements
about the condition OF Strwart's little army
there. the men have been placed on bread
and water rations. These have been once
supplemented witt a dole Of beans AMI fresh
meat. the eamels had plenty of forage.
Shendy on the opposite bank OF the
Nile, and Metelnneh, three miles
from Gubat, were occasionally shelled
By the steamer. The troops are busily em-
ployed cleaning the ground in front of the
camp aud in detached work at adjoinin g
villages.
THE MAIN EARTHwoRKs,
erected for the protection of the camp from
the river front, have already been greatly
strengthened. Il was calculated they would
be completed that nigat.
Several men vine had been wounded in
the desert, have died in camp since the ar
rival of the army at Gubat. The others are
doing we'll. The remainder of the royal ar
tilicry and naval brigade. with ten guns, in
ciuding one Gardner, arrived. A conway has
been sent back to Gakdul for more stores,
aud has taken forty OF the wounded along.
Nearly every night the pickets have ex-
changed shots with the unfricndly Arabs.

Arthur VIII Call a, Extra Senate Session.

Arthur Will Call Extra Senate Session.
special Telegram.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Tt is expected that
President Arthur will, after having commu
nicated with President elect Cleveland, issue
a proclamation convening the senate in ex
ira session on the 4th OF March for the pur-
pose OF considering the cabinet and other
nominations. Four years ago Pres
ident Hayes issued, about a week
before going out of Office, proclamation
conveniug the senate in executive session on
the day that President Garfield was inaugu-
rated. The senate simply met after the iu-
augural proceedings were over and adjourned
until the following day, when the president
sent in his cabinet nominations. There Is
no reason to think otherwise than that the
course which was pursued four years ago will
be followed this year, and if it il, the names
Of the new cabinet will probably be made
known about the 5th or 9th OF March.
Regarding the talk about an extra
session Of congress, the general drift is that
all the appropriation bills can be passed in
some shape or another before the 4th OF
MaTcu, WHICH uhg OIlhSS lht PttsehI S"u :
gress to an end. Representative Kelley says
that the ways and means committee will
have no further bills of general character to
bring before the house this session, aud that
legislation outside of the appropriation bills
is practically ended. A good many of the
committee are still at work on bills, but be-
yond getting them into shape and placed
on the house calendar, their action will
amount to nothing.

The Exposition About to Bust.

Special Telegram.
WASHINGTON, Feb. A strong move
ment is being made 10 induce congress To
appropriate $500, 600 for the New Orleans
exposition on the ground that unless this is
doue disaster wi,l certainly eu sue. Govern
mcnt officials, who are stationed
at the exposition take the view
that even 100000 viii not make
success, aud that failure is certain to en-
sue. Members Of the exposition committee
are here appealing urgently for help frou,
cougrrss. There seems to be general dis
inclination to appropriate any more money
10 help the enterprise along, but lei it stand
or fall on its own merits.
