The Opposition to the River and HarbOr
ana Education RiIls.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Gen- Grants
Gath birthday will be celebrated here next
Tuesday night at the Metropolitan Metho-
dist church, where Gen. Grant used to sit
under the ministration Of Parson New
man. Senator Brown will be the first
speaker Of the evening. He will be fol-
lowed by Senators Logan and Evarts,
Parson Newman and others. Chief JUS
tice Waite will preside.
The stubborn opposition to the river and
harbor bill which has been developed in
the house has alarmed some OF the friends
OF that measure. Chairman Willis and
other leading members OF the committee,
however, do not anticipate any difficulty
in passing the bill. Many members who
oppose particular appropriations will
vote for the bill when it comes up on its
final passage.
The outlook for the educational bill
does not perceptibly brighten, and its
friends are becoming despondent.
Senator COlquitt receives letters every
day begging his aid in the several pro-
hibitiOn campaigns now in progress in
Virginia. His recent speeches IN tich-
mOnd and Lynchburg are said to have
greatly strengthened the prOhibitiOnists
in those cities. The Senator went to An
napolis on business yesterday for two
days. He will hardly reappear in Vir-
gina as prohibition advocate.
