where the bridge should DO.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: With I'M
bounded pleasure most heartily indorse your
timely movement In regard to free bridge
across the Potomac river at the point YOU desig-
nate. have labored with Others. who were
true to the interests of the citizens Lying on
the Virginia side Of the river, for free bridge
much larger number at this point than at
the THEE Sisters. / have repeatedly told our
people that the citizens of the District, espe'
cially those who visit the National Cemetery,
would not submit to be carried three miles
further out OF their way from the present cross
ing of the river to crafty few individuals
living In the neighborhood ofthe Three Sisters
II would be unjust to exact It.
The larger portion of the citizens who live
at Falls Church and vicinity hail with delight
your effort, and exult In the hope Of securing
at an early day free bridge for the people,
who have so long been compelled TO pay TO
visit the national capital and to furnish the
citizens of WASHINGTON with the necessities OF
life. deem II but justice to the Aqueduct
Company TO say that no blame should be at
last " inter. They and the canal company,
Hon. John s. Barbour, aud all who labored
with them did all In their power to procure 1t.
The fault and blame rest solely with Attorney
General Brewster, who would not accept the
title offered by the bridge company because y
was nm easement, and not q paper title, ana
the labors OF Hon. J. 3. Barbour, bridge COM
pany, canal company, and all who gave their
time 10 tic effort were lost.
am sure with the influence OF your able
journal In this behalf, we win have afree
bridge before Congress adJourns, and multi
tude Will bless you. j. J. nj.

Statements About Strikes Lead-fsomo

NEW YoRK, April 29.-The stock market
has been somewhat more active to-day, but
prices were again weak most Of tho day.
There was no important news this morning,
but the fear Of further trouble with labor
organizations and the repeated statements
that general strike is likely to take place
about the LIST Of May have probably led
some holders TO sell during the past two
days. The short interest was also increased
to-day, especially by some Of the more &C.
tive shares. There was q very good busi-
ness In Lackawanna, Lake Shore, and ST.
Paul, the total sales OF the three stocks
mentioned amounting to about 40 per cent
Of the total business.
The other declines are only fractional, 81.

declines range from . to per cent. West

gain Of !. The lowest prices were gen
orally made about o'clock. Later there
was rally for fractional amounts followed
by renewed weakness in the last hour.
But the market closed firm ut figures which
are generally bettorby to per cent. than
the lowest quotations reached. The only
unfavorable report OF tho afternoon OF Inn

Trade DoiIar.Eiimtnati NC an Anomaly

The report submitted 70 the House by Rep
resentative Lanham, frbm the coinage COM
mittee, recommending the passage Of the bill
for the redemption OF the trade dollars, says 1t
Is estimated that the amount which would
probably be presented for redemption will not
be greatly I'm excess of $40 900, 600 out of total
coinage OF s35, 965, 0si. It's thought that tho
amount now in this country is about S7,00),0Jl.
and that no very large amount OF that which
has been exported would be returned TO the
United States II is difficult, the report says,
to enact any law upon the subject which
might not in some degree operate to the I'D
vantage of those who NAV have purchased
these coins for speculation; but IL Is believed
that many of them have found their way into
the hands Of people who did not receive them
for such purpose, and that the passage OF the
bill reported will serve as we'll as any other
measure in the solution of the matter. II will
certainly eliminate an anomaly from our sys'
TEN of silver coinage.
The bill provides that for six months after
It's passage trade dollars shall be received ut
their fnce value, in payment OF all dues to the
United States, and shall not be again paid out
or issued In any other manner Holders OF
trade dollars on presentation OF the same may
receive in exchange therefor an equal amount
OF standard silver dollars. The trade dollars
so received by the United States treasury OIL
clals shall be transmitted TO the coinage mints
and recoined into standard silver dollars.

Great Indeed

Are the preparations we have
made to anticipate the wants OF
our people of every condition in
life. The millionaire, the me-
chanic, the laborer, and the ner-
chant will have no difficulty in
finding here just what they need
in the clothing line. We sell an
All-wool Suit for 90, and we have
twenty different styles at that
price. We keep suits SO fine that
we are obliged to charge S35 for
them, and we have quantities of
every intermediate quality and
in every style, shade. and shape

Second Days ession-A Call on the
President.

The Congregational conference continued
yesterday at the Tabernacle. Rev. G. A.
Gates, Of New Jersey, read an essay on
'The Church and Labor Question:" which
was the principle feature of to-day's meet
ing. The ministry, in the discussion, took
the side of the laborer, and the general con-
clusion was that until the spirit Of Chris
tianity was thoroughly infused into the
question the people Of this country could
not hope for happy solution OF the prob
lem. II denounced the recent strikes, and
thought arbitration was tho fairest to both
sides and the most cody method OF settling
disputes.
Reports of the various churches showed
an encouraging advancement in the church
work.
At Z o'clock children's meeting
was held, which was addressed by Revs.
Danforth, Haywood, and johnson. At
o'clock the conference reassembled, when
reports were read by the secretaries of the
various benevolent societies connected
with the church, showing the amounts con-
tributed and how disbursed. The reading
of these reports occupied considerable
time, and at about $3.50 the conference ad-
journed.
During the afternoon number Of the
ministers called at the white house to pay
their respects to the President. This morn
ing Mount Vernon will be visited by oil The
ministers that remain In the city.
