Democrats Of Congress will Favor Appro-
priations for the Immediate Con-
struction of New Navy.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Many of the south
ern members Of the house are disposed to
make an issue with Mr.. Randall upon the
naval appropriation bill, if, when reported, it
does not provide for the construction. and
armament of new ships. They say, that while
they sustained his opposition to the senate
amendments to the naval appropriation
Dill at the last session Of
congress, for reasons which they
then regarded as sufficient, those rea sons no
longer exist. On the other hand. if the navy
is to be constructed or its construction COM
menced in time for
THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION
TO obtain any substantial credit therefrom
is absolutely necessary that the appropria-
tions for this purpose should be made at the
present session, because it will take nearly
four years to make the necessary plans
and complete the construction of
new ships. Hence say these gentlemen
the Democratic party, and especially the
southern contingent, will be placed in
false light before the country if they fail to
make the necessary appropriations at once,
10 begin the construction of navy. They
say there is no sense in the proposition to
wait for the recommend ations of President
Cleveland. We know that the people want
navy and that they will hold the
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS
and not Mr.. cleveland responsible for the
failure to provide for its construction. If
the house fails to appropriate money for the
construction of new ships the senate will
reuew amendments of the last session and
then the Democratic members Of the house
will be placed in a very embarrassing posi-
ton. Among the leading members
OF the house who entertain these ideas is
Mr. Herbert, Of Alabama, a member of
the ways and means committee. He ex-
pressed the opinion to-day that should the
effort fail which will be made to induce the
appropriation committee to report naval
Dill embodying the views above stated, a
sufficient number could be rallied in the
house to amend the bill so as to adopt SUBJ
stantially the latest recommendations of the
naval advisory board.

number of Nihilistic circulars and pam
phlets which were ready for circulation. An
examination of the contents of these docu-
ments furnished the officials evidence of
completely in the publication and plans for
dissemination of one Pereloff, a Russian
student. Pereloff had formerly been sus-
pected of consorting with Nihilists, and was
once arrested, but subsequently released and
granted amnesty. Acting upon the evidence
found in the seditious literature, the police
arrested Perelof at his rooms. The latter
immediately drew a pistol and shot HIM
self through the head, dying instantly.
Search of his apartments was made
and resulted in the discovery of quantity
of poison, arms of various kinds, dynamite
and large sum of money, together with
these were found papers containing the
names of many persons implicated In terror
ist plots and memoranda which will be of
great value to tho authorities in the sup
preston of Nihilism in that region. About
one hundred persons mentioned IN Pereloff's
papers have already been arrested.

TRUE GREATNESS. !"


Rev. Mr.. Fiuhrer, At the Uniyersalist
Church, delivered a sermon in the morning
before the Grand Rapids Guard upon "Ths
Young Man and the State" Some fifty
members of the Guard attended the services
ina body wearing fatigue uniforms. The
discourse was one Of Mr.. Fluhrer's best
efforts, full OF truth, strong argument and
beautiful sentences. La the evening Mr..
Fluhrer spoke upon Washington, or True
Greatness" and the subject, so worthy and
familiar, was made deeply interesting as the
speaker framed his picture in new and strong
SMILES, sentences and contrasts. Man
pauses before the majestic mountain, the
mighty Niagara or the beautiful landscape
with mingled wonder and admiration. While
nature possesses many figures which call
forth our veneration and inspire US to action;
there are also men whose figures become
subjects for the inspiration of others-evsn
future generations. The greatest thing in
the world is truly great man. and next TO
the actual sight of great man is the ideal
of him, which we are enabled TO call up. A
great man is a perpetual source of power
moulds institutions; he is the creator of
character instincts that not only moulds his
own, but future generations. Such man
was Washington. He was not greatest with
the pen, in oratory or in finance; but among
the grand figures excelling in some
special characteristics Washington stands
out embodying more characteristics of ben
eft to the national cause than any other
leader. The unique niche in which he is
placed by his constituents could never have
been filled by another. Men generally rise
to eminense through some one special fac
ulty. They are good in music, art, the sci
ences, are orators. soldiers or statesmen.
When you examine these men they have de-
ficiencies equally as marked as is their
special genius. The world admires such men
and calls them geniuses. Washington was
no genius unless genius is happy combina-
tion of many faculties. He never could have
been particularly brilliant in any one power;
did not flash forth as the meteor, but shone
like the sun. He held his powers SO closely
in hand that on whatever side he stood he
was strong and admirable. Mr.. Fluhrer
then reviewed Washington's greatness
as patriot, soldier and statesman, drawing
valuable lessons therefrom. In speaking of
his moral character the lecturer said the
most prominent feature was his self-con-
troll. He was naturally passionate and
somewhat violent in disposition, but kept
these characteristics in perfect check. Mr..
Fluhrer thsn dwelt at some length upon his
simplicity, sincerity. honesty and truthful
ness, and closed by saying Washington was
great in those massive qualities which go to
make the true citizen and man. In these
respects we can initiate him. He was loyal
to his country, his conscience and his God.
Let US strive that as much can be said of Us.

WORKING ON SUNDAY.
Committees at Washington Consid-
ering Sundry Appropriations.


WAsHIsoTos, Feb. 22.-The House Com
mittee on Appropriations was in session to
day considering the Sundry Civil Appropria-
tion bill Assistant United States Treasurer
Graves, who was before the committee, was
questioned at length respecting various mat
ters which it is proposed 70 include in the
bill Probably the most important clause of
the measure will be that agreed upon yester
day, authorizing the President, in his discre-
tiOp, to suspend the coinage of silver dollars
for one year, after July next. ln adj
dition 10 the opposition OF the silver
men To the adoption OF this clause, IT has
been developed IN the course of debate on
the subject that the Republicans will attempt
TO modify Its provisions SO as TO strike out
that part giving the President discretionary
power in the matter on the grounds that the
Republican presidents have never been
gwen such power. The silver men claim to
have sufficient strength To defeat the propo-
sition or necessitate an extra session OF Con-
gress if those fayoring il persist iu pushing
il through. The vote by which it was agreed
to insert the clause, eight against eight.
is construed by members not OF the APP
propriations Committee, and who favor con-
tinuance of the coinage of silver dollars, to
indicate that the promoters OF the scheme
cannot bring sufficient strength into the
House TO carry il through. A prominent
Democratic member of the House said to a
representative Of the United Press to-day
that the silver suspension clause was inserted
in the Sundry Civil bill at the instance of
Chairman Barnum, of the National Demo
cratic Committee, who has been in
Washington for some days past, and
who is supposed to voice Cleveland s
views on this question. The Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations also held meet
ing to-day, considering bills which have
reached the Senate from the House. Nearly
every member from both committees was
present.
