FROM WASHINGTON.
The Free Ship Bill to Come UP To-
day.
[snecial to the PREss.l

WASHINGTON, May 25.-There is possi-
bility that a vote will have to be taken on
the free ship bill without further debate.
When it was made special it was agreed that
the previous question should be called at A
o'clock Wednesday and unless some agree
ment is made tomorrow the vote will have to
be taken then. The anti-oleomargarine bill
will undoubtedly take up the greater part OF
the time before 4. An attempt will be made
the first thing tomorrow to secure vote at
once on the oleomargarine bill and to post
pone the calling of the paevious question on
the free ship bill till Thursday at 4, but it is
doubtful if it will be successful. The oppo-
nents of the latter bill continue quite conf

The concert given by Ransom Post, G. A. R. last Saturday evening, for the benefit of the relief fund, was a grand success. Long before the hour for the exercises to commence the hall was filled with large and apprecia- tive audience. The programme, which consisted of songs, duets, addresses, and recitations, was excellent, and each and every one acquitted them selves we'll in their different parts. The recitation by Miss Laura Hox- worth was admirably rendered and its delivery was perfect.
 The address by Thos. G. Norris, Esq, although impromptu, was ex- cellent, and showed that Mir. Norris was in perfect accord and sympathy with the "Old Vets" and that in him they had warm friend. We would not desire to have to encounter Thomas in a joint discussion on any subject. "He draws too much water for us." The song by the twins, Ira and Irene Hoxworth, showed consid- erable talent for such little folks. The entertainment closed with the song, "John Browns Body" in which the entire audience joined. All in all, it was a most enjoyable affair, and we hope the members of Ransom Post will soon favor our people with anoth- CT of these pleasant concerts.

 The pupils ofthe public achool here are conducting a Juvenile Literary Society, choosing officers from among themselves and holding meetings every Friday afternoon.

The arguments were spirited and so nearly equal that the society, as judges, de- cided the debate tie.

rHs WICHITA RESIDENT.

The Wichita Daily Evening Resident made
it, bow, and genial one, to the people Of
this city yesterday afternoon with . flying
express train - . vignette, and the quotation
from Job, "On earth there is not its like >
for motto; Ave-colum folio, clean, bright
print, BY the Resident company, politically
. Democrat, socially . Wichitaite;" Silas
Robinson, editor; price two sents: These
are the salient points Of the new venture -
We gather them from hasty glance. And
these ought to be enough to make swim
ing success. Sound politically - the i'd
ministration itself, believing in the church
with Bible tsxt for motto, and the cham
pion of the Knights of Labor, what more
could be asked! We believe the idea Of the
proprietors is to make . lively, gossipy,
local paper, whose themes shall be WITCH ita,
her concerns and her people, with enough
politics for the head Of the household, and
sufficient gossip and miscellaney for the
rest of the circle. In truth, the Resident is
all that its proprietors claim, . clean, wide
awake evening journal. with the touch Of
the spirit which 50 distinguishes Wichita
from all other cities Of the state.
