Sergeant Bishops Sudden Resignation
 The special meeting of the police commis- sionrs Tuesday evening and the sudden resig- nation of Sergeant Bishop is explained in a way which astonished the sergeant's many
 acauaintances and reflects severely upon his character. It seems that Mir. Bishops resig- nation anticipated peremptory discharge, he having been discovered in the act of ap propriating fine quality of liquor or wine !! without the legal right. At the same time ! his action explained what for some time has been mystery, or in other words the leak which has been going on in the grocery estab- lishment which was the victim of his opera tions. Nr. Bishop was not, when seen, ready to nske any statement ssgaydipg the matter

Evening Caucus.


 WASHINGTON, April 23.-The republican members of the house in caucus tonight made considerable progress in preparing the order of business. The subject of silver legislation which has heretofore 80 vexed the caucus was disposed of with such ease and rapidity as to astonish the members who were not acquainted with to-day's agreement be- tween the senate and house committees. MT. Oonger presented the report of the caucus adopted upon a standing vote. Only half 2 dozen members voted in the negative, and their opposition was mainly based upon the failure of the bill to give . full legal tender quality to the treasury notes. In ad- di.ion to the provisions of the bill already stated, 1t Is stated that tho money now held in tho treasury under section 5, ,222 R. s. and section of the national bank act is to be covered into the treasury. This is the prop osition which was introduced in the house last week in the form of @ bill. It concerns the money held to redeem national bank cir oulation in the case of liquidating banks or banks reducing circulation or taking out new charters, where the full cir culation Is not redeemed. This fund, which 1t is proposed to restore to circulation, it is estimated amounts to seventy~eight mil- lion dollars. This bill seemed to meet with general approval as being fair compromise. The Dill was lalO aside with the unoetotanO. ing that the committee on rules will report . resolution requiring its confederation by the house at the earliest possible moment, with q strict limitation upon tho length of de- bate.
 Having disposed of the silver question the caucus turned its attention to the subject ei pensions and, after a short discussion, en- dorsed the Morrill, service pension bill, which grants $6 @ month to soldiers who served ninety days in the war of the rebel- lion and who shall have reached the age oi sixty-two years.
 The Lodge national election bill came next In order. Mr. Lodge briefly explained iti provisions and the necessity for its passage MT. Powell, chairman of the elections com mittee, did not believe 1t was necessary ol expedient to pass a national election law and submitted as a counter proposition [ 1 plan for @ wide extension of the present supervisory system, which he asserted would meet all necessities.
 After some debate the caucus adjourned.
 Next Tuesday when the consideration O the Lodge bill will Do concluded and the Mo Comas bill to prevent gsrrymandering will be taken up.

BEATEN AT WASHINGTON.

Tho Game Given Away in the Sixth
 Inning by Poor Fieldinx.Erratie
 Battery W0rk-But Eight Iuninss Played.
 WASHINGTON, April 23.-Poor fielding and cratic battery work at the critical point of the game was what defeated the New Haven players in the first of their series at the Capi- tai city.
 The game belonged to the visitors up to the sixth inning. It was at this critical period that Washington began to solve Doran's effective drop ball. They pounded him for several timely singles. Tho visitors then began to go to pieces. Doran himself lost control of the ball and became very cratic. Washington made the most of their unexpected advantage and began to pile up runs. The bases were kept filled and fine thres bagger by Riddle brought in the seventh run made during this inning.
 After this the Elm City boys played more sharply but it was of no avail. They batted lightly and were unable to overcome the lead which the Senators had achieved.
 In the third inning Brady was struck by a pitched ball and was forced to retire, Law. man taking his place. In the eighth inning Jordan made phenomenal catch of . dy from Schoenech's bat. It was in this inning also that the game was called because of darkness.

A KIND WORD.

A kind word costs but little, but it may
bless the one to whom it is spoken all
day. Nay, have not kind words been
spoken to you which have lived in your
heart through years, and borne fruit Of
joy and hope? Let US speak kindly to
one another. We have burdens and wor-
ries, but let US not therefore rasp and
~irritate those near US those we love,
those Christ would have us save. An
exchange presents this thought in these
impressive words: "Speak kindly in
the morning; it lightens the cares of the
day, and makes the household and all its
affairs move along smoothly. Speak
kindly at night, for it may be that before
dawn some loved ole may finish his space
Of life for this world, and it will be too
late to ask forgiveness"
