A MILLION FOR THE DISTRICT.

Proposed Extensive improvements In
the Streets and Avenues--The Perma-
nent Exposition.
The commissioners have in preparation q
bill to present to Congress asking for an
appropriation Of 81 ,OOO, 600, with which they
propose to make comprehensive improve
ments on the streets and avenues. The bill
is being carefully drawn up.
Judge Edmonds said yesterday that he
hoped Congress would pass the bill, as
also other bills looking to the advancement
Of the Districts interest "We only ask
Congress- said he, "to loan us that cum.
We have kept faith with Congress in all
our matters, and ask for this money In
business way, and give pledges that are
also businesslike."
The commissioners propose to keep up
lively interest in the proposed new District
building. The measures proposed by the
commissioners will benefit the city II Con-
gress Will only look at them in the way that
they do.
Judge Edmonds is in favor of promoting
the establishment OF the Permanent EXposi.
ton In Washington city. lie thinks that
it will advance the city's growth in wealth
and population.

nished when called for in resolution Of the
Senate. Laughter in the galleries.
Mr.. Colquitt assured the senator from
Illinois (Mr. Logan that he could have any
records in the Postonce Department IL he
would apply for them; they had never been
refused.
Mr.. Hoar asked on what principle the
papers were given TO n senator and denied
to q resolution Of the Senate.
Mr.. Logan called attention to the fact
that they were furnished to an individual
to be read in public, and published
throughout the country, and inquired
whether that was not exactly what the
Senate was trying TO get at. lie inquired
why they should have been given TO an
Individual and not to the Senate.
Mr.. Colquitt replied that the. Senate de-
manded the papers as matter Of right; the
senators would ask to see them as matter
of courtesy. lie thought that very broad
distinction.
Mr.. Logan said there were some senators
who would like to see the papers, but who
did not 10 to the departments. lie was of
that number. He did not 90 TO the depart
ments to see papers. lie never had done
so and did not expect 20, but he would
like to see the papers. IL the senator's in
their aggregate capacity as a Senate, passed
resolution respectfully requesting the
papers, and the papers should be denied,
he was afraid the country would not see
the nice distinction made by the depart
ments, when tho departments gave the
papers to individual senators TO be read
here In order TO condemn some persons.
Mr.. jackson followed Mr.. Colquitt, also
in opposition to the majority report. lie
believed the right Of removal OF officers to
be wholly In the President. So far as acts
of Congress made removals. dependent on
the consent Of the Senate, those acts were
an encroachment on the constitutional
rights and powers OF the President; but,
aside from that, It was the candid convIc-
ton OF all real advocates OF administrative
reform that all such attempts had been un-
wise, and had been attended with no sub
stantial benefits to the public service.
The object OF the present controversy, Mr..
jackson said, was the waging OF political
warfare against President Cleveland. The
question, as IL had been presented by
the majority, was mere pretext for an at
tack on the President. SIN arranging for
this piece of political target practice" said
Mr. Jackson, "the able chairman OF the jul
dietary committee has omitted to place the
proper target before the Senate. That fact,
however, has not discouraged either him
self or his associates from firing at random
throughout the whole political range.
| The proceeding is wholly political; there
can be no determination Of 1t here. Both
sides must appeal to the people,
At 8 o'clock, Mr.. Jackson retaining the
floor, the Senate, on motion of Mr.. Harris,
went into executive session, and when, at
| $50, the doors were reopened the Senate

TIE MISSISSIPPI SLAUGHTER.
Southern Democrats Disposed to De-
fend Tho putrago

southern Democrats Disposed to Dc
fend the Outrage.
Washington Correspondence N. Y. Tribune.l
The massacre In n court room mt Carroll
ton, Miss, last week, by which twelve col
ored men were killed and nine MORALLY
wounded, has been the subject OF much
quiet talk here among Mississippi Demo-
Gratis. The fact that not single white
man was injured and that the colored men
were riddled with bullets while trying TO
escape furnishes conclusive proof that the
slaughter was wantOn and unprovOked. A
prominent white citizen OF Mississippi, CON
versant with all the facts, writes as follows
to friend in this city.
IA more wanton and unprovoked mas
sacre never took place in the south. There
was not the slightest excuse for the attack.
The cOlored men were not armed, as the re.
ports sent out from here assert. The fact
that they were inside the court house, and
that no white man was hurt, shows that
such reports are false. The Regulators
who did the shooting, came there together
armed for the purpose of committing this
terrible crime, and 1t is a falsehood on the
face Of IL to say that IL was the result of
any provocation from the colored men. The
whole truth Of the matter is that the colorcd
voters are in the majority In that place. An
important election is coming on, and IL was
thought necessary by the Regulators to
teach the colorcd men lesson in advance
and to put a stop to their organizing for
the coming contest. Gov. Lowry has re-
fused to take any steps TO punish the per-
petrators of this fendish crime, asserting
that he sees no occasion for executive In
reference. No arrests have been made, or
will be made, as no white Democrat has
been punished for such crime since the
Democracy got control Of the state. We
may well ask Is there a god in IsraelW
The Democratic members Of Congress
from Mississippi refuse to discuss the out
rage. One Of them says II Is necessary for
the protection Of society In that state that
summary methods should sometimes be re-
sorted to, but In the absence Of any knowl-
edge Of the facts he ''does not care to eX-
press an opinion on this matter"

BALTIMORE, MD.-Perhaps the greatest set
back that the temperance cause has received
in this city for q long time, wcro the recent
disclosures made by reporter of the Every
SATURDAY. Among our Oldest and most re.
spCCted citizens are five survivors Of the war
Of 1912, known as 1.-THE Old Defenders" whose
ages range from 50 to 90, to whom the people
have been accustomed to look with very great
respect and vcneration, on account of the
part they took in the defense of Baltimore in
that war. Every year 1t has been the custom
to commemorate tho defense by an ami
Versary parade and banquet, in which these
veterans participate, the day being n general
holiday throughout the state. These old SOL
diers, hale and hearty in appearance, have
marched in procession annually and are the
finest specimens OF robust old age in the city.
For some time past there has been consdera-
BILE agitation in this section over the temper
ance question, tho adherents Of the cause CO.
ing so far rs to demand absolute prohibition.
The reporter of the .EGery Saturday. who did
not sympathlae with this movement, accord
ingly set out in search of public opinion, ana
tenders, He found that every one of them
Mr.. John C. Morford aged 50; George Boss, De-
Samuel Jennings, 50; John Peddecord, 90; Ma
thaniel Watts, O0-had always been In the
habit oftaking little stlmulant Of some kind,
and that since the discovery Of Dunys pure

trace Of Gusel oil Is eliminated by IL secret pro-
ccss-thls was their fayoTito brand. In the

MYSTERY AND A NOMINATION.
Disappearance Of Lieut.. Ecmey, U. $. N.
Errors in Nominating n Successor.

Disappearance OF Lieut.. Kcmey, u, y. N.
Errors in Nominating n Successor.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger relates the following
interesting facts
.scvcral months ago Lieut.. +. W. Romey, of
the navy, while on duty with his ship on the
Atlantic station, went ashore ut Norfolk aud
never returned. His disappearance has re-
manned mystery, and, Notwithstanding dill.
gent inquiry and search have been made by
his relatives and friends, no trace of the miss.
ing lieutenant has been found. nor has any
satisfactory reason been discovered for RcmCy
leaving his station without permission. Re.
Gently the President sent to the Senate tho
nomination of Clinton II. Lyett, lieutenant
Junior grade, TO be lieutenant vice Romey,
reported that the Senate could not act upon
nomination to succeed an officer supposed TO
be dead" and expressed the opinion that the
Secretary of the Navy should be able to re-
solve the doubt In Remey's case.
The nomination of Lyett was therefore re-
turned to the President for correction In tho
manner indicated. Subsequently the nomipa-
ton of Lyett was again sent to the Senate. vice
RCmey, dropped from the rolls" This form
was as Objectionable as that first used, for the
reason that an officer cannot be dropped from
the rolls except upon the sentence of general
again sent baCk for correction. There would
seem to be but ono way out of the difficulty.
Lieut. Remcy left his station without tho
knowledge or permission Of his superior officer,
and remaining absent from his post of duty
beyond a certain prescribed time constitutes
serter, and should be so reported and dropped
from the navy register. Had Lyett been noml
mated, vice Remey, deserted, there would have
been no delay in continuation.
