FROM WASHINGTON.
pec;al Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON, D. O.. Oct. %, 1890.

The fact that all tho heads of the govern
ment departments here are nov engaged IN
preparing their annual reports, has revived
the talk about 90 extra session among those
who don't know what they are talking
about az such reports are only made at the
commencement of regular sessions. Ii con
tinues to bs the general impression, how
ever, that should the elections go democrat
ic next month, there will be an extra session
so as to extend the time during which the
Force bill, the bill that will prevent simi-
lar result in 80, may be passed.
W. Il Barclay, democrat, has been pep
sion sgeni at Pi.tsburg since 81, at which
time he gave the requisite bond. As ne was
an efficient, and honest, and safe ohclsl,
there was no ground for removing him, but
to put him TO 80 much trouble as possioie,
Secretary Noble demanded of him new
bondsmen. This demand Mr.. Barclay pc.
litely, but positively refused TO comply With.
for ths sole reason that be would not put
himself to the extra trouble of seeking them.
He was removed to- lay. and his place will
be given 10 one OF Mr.. Q lays followers.
