Egg.ROlling i'm the White House
Grounds.

THE CHILDREN HAVE A GOOD TIME, NoTWTTH-
STANDING THE APRIL SHOWER.
Notwithstanding the threatening c buds this
morning large number OF children altered
at the White House grounds, south of the White
House, at an early hour to enjoy the annual Gus
tom Of POLLING Easter eggs down the many
grassy knobs in that part of the grounds. The
fall Of rain just before noon did not disperse
them, but protected by waterproof they con-
tinued their sport III open defiance Of the dan
ger OF colds or pneumonia. The boys were par
ticularly reckless. They rolled eggs and them
selves down the slopes, picked eggs with one
another and had regular picnic. Many grown
people were interested spectators of the merry
ganlbOls of the children. Some accompanied
the children to keep watch and prevent Inn
prudences. Others wero attracted by the sight
from the business streets, particularly at The
lunch hour, and stopped TO watch the happy
children. Many OF the little ones brought we'll
filled lunch baskets, and at noon enjoyed q
hearty mesl, with waterproofs for tables. Every
body seemed to have good time.

West Virginia Coal Fields.
GREAT DEPRESSION SAID TO EXIST In TIL

kANAWHA VALLEY.
PITTSBURG, April 26-H NJ. Jarwell, a prom
inent coal operator Of the kanawha valley in
an interview, says the depression in the coal
trade of that district has never been paralleled
in its history, and unless there is an improve
ment fully one-half of the coal producers in the
kanawha and New river districts will fail. This
deplorable condition OF things is attributed TO
PiLtsburg's competition and the use OF natural
gas. Notwithstanding the depression, the
miners are preparing to strike May 1st Tor an
advance of a half cent per bushel They now get
2ls and want pa. This they win not get. and
their condition Will then become a desperate
Ole. Only 5000 men OF all the miners OF the
two districts are engaged now, and with 10000
or $4,000 out OF employment there will be a
very sad condition OF affairs.

The Tariff Bill in the House.

1T CANNOT BE REACHED TILL MAY 15TH-A
CLOSE VOTE EXPECTED, WITH THE CHANCES
STILL IN FAVOR OF ITS PASSAGE.
1t is thought now that the appropriation bills
cannot be disposed of in the House of Repre-
sentatives in time to allow the calling up of the
tariff bill before the 18th of May. There is
still much doubt and uncertainty as to what
the fate of the bill will be. The tariff reformers
think it will pass, but they are not sanguine
enough to be boastful. The narrow lines of the
democratic majority will not admit of much
latitude for disaffection, and the uncertainty OF
the protectionist contingent of the party makes
1t very difficult to calculate the strength of the
bill. 1t is claimed by some that there will be
quite number of republicans to vote for the
bill, but this is very uncertain, and it is claimed
on the other hand that the Presidents stand in
favor of the tariff reduction will be calculated
to make the republicans stand solidly together.
With all these uncertain elements it still seems
that there is probability that the bill will get
through by O small majority.
