The report that Major Walker, Chief of
Police of this city, though appointed com
paratively recently, will De removed, is not
credited here.
AS the President and most of bis Cabinet
are in Boston to day. there is little or no
executive or departmental news, and but few
strangers at the White House or at anv of the
departments.
In view of the fact that Senator Riadleherger
can make tie in the next Senate by voting with
the democrats his democratic friends here, and
he has some, say the republican Senators will be
apt to treat him with more respect aud courtesy
IN the next Congress than they have done in the
present one.
1t was rumored hero to-day that ex-Msyor
Lamb, of Norfolk, is in Alexandria, while his
friends are arranging for duel between him and
Congressman Wise of his state on account of some
statements made by the former during the late
| campaign, but the rumor is not credited BY Vir-
| ginians now in the city.

CHICAGO Nov. S.-A Times special from
San Antonio, Texas, says: Information has
reached here from Frio town, the seat of
Frio county, Of duel which took place Fri
day afternoon in Seavsla county near the
county line, between two of the welthiest
ranchmen in Seavalla county-Hiram Ben

nany cattle and sheep jointly. About a
year ago they dissolved business relations
and difficulty arose regarding the number
ct cattle in certain bunch, which fgurerd
IN their settlement a valuation of $40 900.
The breach grew wider with time, each
sending word that he meant to kill the
other. Friday afternoon the two ranchmen,
with few cowboys, happened to meet
near the edge of the little village, of Bates

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The members of the
First and Second regiments, National
Guard, assembled at their armory this morn
Ing at o'clock in obedience to orders from
GOV. Os'esby transmitted through General
FltZ'lmmons, commander of the First bri

THIS morning, the tracks in the vicinity Of
the packing houses being patrollcd by the
deputy sherifls, who kept the small crowds
which congrCgated on the corners moving
on. Around the outskirts of the wards the
scene was different. Gangs of strikers stood
at the entrances, aud the men with their
d'nner pals in their hands, were deprived
OF their pals and in number of instances
were severely thrashed. There seemed to
be determined effort OF the part of the
strikers to prevent any now men from ap-
plying for the positions which the former
have lett. On the other hand, the employ
ers seemed determined not to re.engage
any of the strikers. There has been no ser.
lous disturbance at the yards yet, but the
assaults on the non union men are growing
more frequent. AS the morning progressed
the crowds surrounding the entrances to
| tho yards increased. The strikers became
more desperate and the deputy sheriff, found
greater difficulty in dispensing them. Ar

Especial Correspondence of the Alexs. GAZETTE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. S, 1886.
A rumor is current here to the effect that
Mr.. Blaine's present visit to New York is
for the purpose of consulting with Messrs.
Elkins, Morton, Depew and other leading
republicans Of the Empire State about the
best ways and means that can be adopted
by which to settle the differences between
his and Mr.. Conkling's friends in that State,
so that if he shall be the republican cand-
date for the next Presidency the latter may
not oppose him, as they did in 1854, aud
that the basis his friends will offer for that
settlement will be Mr.. Conkling's return TO
the U. S. Senate. This report. however,
can hardly be true, that is, if Mr.. Blaine
possess the feelings common to humanity.
Before the last election Mr.. Blaine said,
where he knew it would reach Mr.. Conk.
ling's ears, that while there were differ
euces between himself and that gentleman,
he entertained the highest respect for his
personal character, believed him to be q
strictly honest man, and that if he were the
nominee of his party he would vote for him
for the party's and the country's good. At.

TIE RUMoR is repeated that Mr.. Porch,
consul general to Mexico, has been, or will
be removed. For the sake Of good govern.
ment and of real civil service reform, it is
hoped this runor may be incorrect. Nj.
Sedgwick disgraced his country in foreign
capital. and Mr.. Porch, in asking his recall,
only did what his duty and his regard for
his country compelled him to do, and what
all the American residents in Mexico justified
him in doing. Mr.. Bayard has already lost a
great deal of the admiration his countrymen
once entertained for him, bat if he shall re-
move Consul Porch simply for emphasizing
the popular verdict against the appointment
of envoy Sedgwick, he will justly forfeit
even the little that remains.

ALEX ANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER s.

IN IT'S NOW necessary rustic for means by
which to regain its lost popular majority,
the democratic party should not lose sight
of the income tax. Government in this
country is maintained chiefly for the pres
crveton of property therefore property
ought to pay the major part Of the expense
of supporting it. By the present system of
raising revenue property pays nearly the
whole of that expense, for the necessares
of life are taxed, poor man consumes
as much of those neoessaries as rich one,
and while the poor are many, the rich are
few. An income tax is not only the fairest
and best made of raising revenue, but it is
the most easily borne of all modes of taxa
ton, and, what's more, every single man in
the country will be necessarily engaged in
the effort to render himself liable to it's ex-
actions

Shall Boys Learn Trades.

A correspondent asks TO what trade
we would recommend him to APP
prentice his son. Our answer is. to
none. In the old days when men went
on foot and in stage-coachcs, it would
do to grind out a few years in the
manifold drudgery of an imposed task,
but in these days Of quick communica-
tion-the news of the day ut almost
every hour, and the opportunity for
boys to see and know what is going on
around them Il t~housandfold better than
their fathers did twenty years ago-we
say emphatically, giUe the boy % Uoice
in The matter. Let him look and
choose. If he have a mania for rob.
bing birds nests and littering his room
with them, put him in the way of be-
coming a naturalist. If he be forever
whiting, and trying to do something
which he cannot do for lack of means,
let him visit machine shops of various
kinds. If he wants to know how n
thing can happen at midnight and des-
criptions and pictures of the event be
given to fifty millions of people before
scven o'clock in the morning. let him
visit q well-organized printing Office.
A few doses of this kind of stimulant
will show what path of life the young
man will be likely TO travel with the
best success. BY all means give him
the opportunity to select, and when he
has made his choice, encourage his
efforts, and do not grind him down by
n servile apprenticeship in which he
takes no ipfarpst and Vhprn nina-
tenths of the time is spent in making
money for his master" without bene-
fit to himself.-The Printing Press.
