WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Senate will
probably devote Monday and Tuesday ol
the coming week to the consideration oI
miscellaneous matters on It's calendar, and
on Wednesday 1t will take up the under.
valuation bill. It issenstor Alliaon's pur.
pose to ask that the usual adjournment
from Thursday to the following Monday
be dispensed with this week, unless this
measure shall have passed by Thursday
night, which is not likely.
The Executive calendars contain little
to occupy the time Of the Senate but the
fisheries treaty which is expected to-mor.
row will perhaps give rise to some discus.
sion during the week. It is the intention
Of some Senators to ask that the treaty be
made public at once and q majority is
doubtless in favor Of such course, butas
the "precedents and trRditions" OF the
Senate are agRinstit 1t the result Is doubtful.

Washington County Grand Jury Takes Ac'
tion on the Tramp Question.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Feb. 19.-The Grand
Jury having fuiBhed their labos were
discharged yesterday. They made pre-
sentiment on the question Of hRrboring
tramps in the jail. After commencing
the Commissioners for the course they
pursued in bringing the matter to the at.
tention Of the court, they say: "The sure
nees and sWiitnsss with which this great
drain upon the treasury Of the people has
been stopped, when once capRbly under
taken, also shows the previous long con-
tinusnce to be without excuse. While We
are not warranted in presenting the OFF,
GERS through whose fundamentally these
commitments have been made for crimi-
nal conduct, we are nevertheless convinced
that they are deserving Of the highest
censure."
In the matter Of leasing the County
Home farm to gas company, the Jury
recommends that the Poor Directors be
authorized to put down well, which can
be done at a cost Of 81 500 The gas used
at he homo now costs $500 year.

MR.. ca1LD's MAGNIFICENT GIFT
Dedicated at Westminster ArOhdsaOOn
Farrars Special Sermon YOstOrday-ThO
Crown Prince Growing wOrss-Cm.
cagOanH Arrested at Gensva, etc.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-Dsspite northeast
wind, coupled with frequent Intermittent
snow falls, large congregation flocked to
st. Margsret's church Westminster to-day,
the occasion being q special sermon by
Arch Deacon Farar in connection with
the unveilinG yesterday OF the Milton me.
moriSl presented to the church by Mr..
George W. Childs, of Philadelphia. The
new space was soon fully occupied and
chairs were placed In the aisle to accom-.
modats the later arrivals. The congrega.
tion included Mr.. Phelps, the American
minister, and his wife; BatoneSs Bnrdstte
Oontts and many leading American resi-
dents. The British aristecracy was also
largely represented. The service was the
ordinary Lenton one except that the
hymn before the sermon was Milton's:
"Let uB with Q gladsome mind praise the
Lord for he Is kind"
Canon FaTTar, who preached from La.
mentstions IA Z, further emphasized the
occasion in his opening remarks while
justly claiming attention to the fact that
he never neglected to preach according to
the churches Eeason; that year after year
through both the gloom and tho glory Of
the Christian calendar 1t had been and
would be his endeavor to dwell with the
congregation upon each sacred anniver-
sary as 1t reCurred. He plainly announced
on this occasion IA departure from the
usual practice, delerring for week the
usual Lenten exhortation. He devoted
almost the whole address to pointing out
the concrete lesson Of christianity as ex.
pounded by the noble life OF Milton.
The window referred to is q beautiful
piece Of workmanship, representing the
striking incidents In the life Of Milton.
Whittier wrote this inscription for it:
The New World honos him, whose lofty plea
For EnglAnd'E freedom made her own more sure;
Whose song, immortal as its theme, shall be
Their common fIeehOlds while both worlds endure.

SCRANTON, Feb. 19.-The interest in the
outcome Of the demand Tor 10 per cent
increase in wages OF sll mine employees
in the Wyoming and Lackawanns VAL
leys, made nearly three weeks ago by the
Executive Board OF District Assembly 10,
through Master Workman Campbell, OF
Scranton, grows more inteuse as the time
set for hearing the answer approaches,
and tonight there are many cenjectures
es to what the conclusion Of to-morrow's
convention OF the Knights will be. There
Is almost positive assurance that the de-
mand will be met with refusal, but there
is also the belief that within a few days at
least there will be concession Of come
kind made that will satisfy everyone con-
cerned.
The belief is strengthened by the action
OF the Delaware, Lackawanna aud West
ern miners generally, adopting resolu-
ton putting trust in the company to in
crease their wages without resorting to q
strike. Committees from every mine OF
the company, from Avondsle to Scranton,
to-day awaited upon General superinten.
dent storrs at his Office here, and present
ed him with copies Of the resolutions
adopted. They were all respectfully re-
Ceived and were in conference with the
head OF the coal department up to late
hour this evening. While he could give
no definite answer, he assured them that
their petitions would be carried by him to
New York early the coming week and
placed before President Sloan. Mr.. storr'a
manner gave the committees hope, and
they all feel that the course they are pur-
suing will secure the advance, or partial
one, much quicker than that adopted by
the Pittaton convention.
