A WARM TIME PROBABLE.

Therefore it is probable, there will be
some warm discussion of the various resolu-
tions at the caucus called for tomorrow
evening. 1t is said that Hoar, Reed, Lodge
and others. infatuated with the idea of the
election bill, are straining every nerve to
carry the day in favor of prolongation of
the session until the election bill is reached,
but If so it is not apparent that they are
making much headway.
DISPATCH correspondent this evening that
a resolution, similar at least, to the one pre-
pared by Senator Quay would be reported
and adopted before the end Of the week. and
then the end of Congress would be in sight.

Arab Pasha in CeylOn.
uondon Daily NewAl

Arab Pasha has recently been sick. and
he complains that his health suffers from
the hot and humid climate of Ceylon, after
the dry atmosphere Of Egypt. 1t was just
the hot season, and the climate OF CeylOn
is irving. ridiculous accounts Of visits
TO Arab Pasha," writes our correspondent
at Colombo. - often appear in the English
papers from passengers pcsslng through.
As matter of fact, Arab, whom l often
see. has aged considerably. 4 few years
ago he was a handsome. black-haired man
in the prime of life, with a fine military
bearing; now he is quite gray, and has the
look of an old man. SO far as exile can be
pleasant, however, he and his brother
exiles have nothing TO complain OF. Tor they
have large and well-furnished bungalows
TO live in. horses, carriages, and every
thing they want, with liberty to 60 up
country and almost anywhere they chose,
provided they do not leave the island.
They are invited TO and are present at. a
great many social and public gather
ings. Several of tho Pashas have their
families with them; their sons and daugh-,
ters marry and are given in marriage. and
all but the exiles themselves are allowed TO
come and go to and from Egypt as they
like. The Pashas naturally have great
desire TO return TO their homes, and If they
are ever permitted TO do SO, L think, II the
word Of the Egyptians is to be trusted, that
the British Government may rest assured
of their causing no further trouble. The
attention and the soldierly courtesy be-
slowed on Arab and his brother exlles by
the Duke of Connaught when here was

FOR AN HONEST COUNT.
Supervisors of the Census Warned Against
Accepting Money.

The Superintendent of the Census has
issued the following important order.
To He Supervisors Of the Census:
alt has been brought to the attention Of
the Superintendent of the Census that the
CITY councils and boards of trade Of certain
western cities have appropriated sums OF
money to aid their census supervisors in
the enumeration Of the population. While
il may be urged by some that such pro-
ceeding is legitimate and merely intended
TO help the Government TO obtain tar
and full enumeration / am compelled %
look mon it as an almost irresistible
termination 10 fraud. and rs consequently
endangering an honest count of the people.
If tolerated By this Office it would have n
tendency TO bring the whole census INTO
disrepute.
You are, therefore, positively instruct
ed not To receive any such compensation
Yourself. nor countenance for one instant
The pavment of any sum of money what
ever, by municipalities, corporations, as
sociatiOns or persons to enumeratOrs.
ANY supervisor of census who Is not CON
tent with the remuneration allowed by
law (which Is double the amount paid IN
1880 should at once resign. The eleventh
census must and shall be above suspicion.

niciDalitles. associations, organizations, or
individuals. no matter how powerful they
may be. which has for Its purpose the lie

SLIGHTEST faint upon the truthtulness OF the

Please by all means publish the follow
ing;
The game of ball played between the
Washington and Lee University and the
Virginia Military Institute on the 10th was
between the second mines of the two insti-
tutions. The first nine Of the Virginia
Military Institute having never been de-
feated within the last three years by that
of Washington and Lee University it would
of course be great injustice TO credit
them with defeat, particularly as they are
now trying TO arrange game With the
University of Virginia TO be played in
Richmond on the S0th. and a report that
they were defeated by team from the
Washington and Lee University would, if
allowed TO spread, be greatly prejudicial
TO their interest. Hence they deserve by
all means TO have fair play and get what is
due them. Il. BUTLER,

Shipment of Virginia Cattle to England.


Recently in the House Of Commons Sir
John Kinloch asked the Government 10
allow the importation OF store cattle from
Virginia. Tho cattle here, he said, were
always free from pleuro- pneumonia. the
region being many hundreds Of miles dis
tant from the infected districts. Cattle
could be shipped from this State without
touching other States.
Mr.. Chaplin, president of the Board OF
Agriculture, denied that Virginia was al
WAYS free from pleuro-pneumonia. He
said the report Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in 1885 referred
10 the prevalence Of cattle disease in Nlr-
GINA in the summer of that year. Again
IN 1851 an outbreak was reported. In
March last a cargo OF diseased cattle ar
rived at Deptford from Baltimore. showing
that there were infected districts near Vir-
g,nia. The Government. therefore, could
not except Virginia cattle.
