IKE RETRocEssToS TALK.-There has never
been stir IN tins city in favor OF the return of
the town to the District since the war closed.
but il Is likely that the matter will now occuny
more OF public attention. and II may be that the
city council viii be asked TO take a vote upon
the subject The method of proceeding in the
matter, even If the people be Unanimous IN
favor OF a return to the District and Congress
consents, will be attended by no little difi-
Guilty. The whole machinery of the municipal
ity Is by state charter; the courts are
all state courts, &c, and the old
municipal machinery existing at the time of
retrocession is out of date and could not be re-
habiltatcd. The whole municipal structure
would have TO be made anew, and the simplest
process would undoubtedly be TO make Alexan-
drla,like Georgetown. an integral portion OF the
District with a representative when the District
commissioners. IL WILL however, be some
time. II ever, before any agitation produces q
change in the political status of Alexandria.

The District Commissioners greatly enjoyed
their visit to the camp. They were free and
each one of them strolled off to take look at
the camp. Commissioner Hine tried his hand
at the rifle range and being an expert shot
easily defeated his competitors.
When returning on the police boat. Joe
Blackburn, the camp was discussed at length
and the Commissioners were unanimous in say
ing that 1t was an unqualified success. Com
missioner Robert said:
THE National Guard Of Washington is fine
organization, and when you stop to think that
1t Is still IN its infancy you Immediately won
der what it will be in a few years. have gone
over the camp pretty thoroughly and am sur
prised at the solder-like appearance of every
thing. The boys look like veterans, and
everything there is strictly military. Now,
guard duty is difficult task, but the guards
have come in contact with knew their business.
In one instance l tried them. L was walking
with Col. Hams, and we attempted to cross a
field where a guard was stationed. We had
not gone five steps when We were ordered to
halt and made to return; vainly did we try to
get by him, but he simply said: MY orders are
to let no one pass So we returned | must
say that am heartily in favor of the National
Guard You see, it makes the men feel GER

wonderfully. When / first thought of coming

prise In store. The National Guard is a great

WHY OUR BRIGADE CAN DO IT.
II may be interesting to know that the Dis
trict National Guard is the only brigade in the
United States that can give such display as
that witnessed by the President last night.
This is due to the fact that the local brigade is
formed on the plan of three battalions to a
regiment This gives two regimental colors
and eight battalion colors. As one of the
essentials of the ceremony is sufficiently large
and imposing number of flags, it can readily be
seen where the advantage comes in. Some Of the
army officers whispered it around among each
other yesterday that Gen. Ordway had sue
ceeded in securing advance copies of the new
tactics, but they were undeceived BY some of
the guardsmen who knew better. The idea of
saluting the colors as II has been done here
since the encampment opened belongs entirely
to the local soldiery. Gen. Ordway says he
regiment received q plain and very practical
boost yesterday.
MARYLAND aUARDsMEN IN CAMP.
Every one who visited Fort Washington yes-
terday was pleased with the sodieriy appear.
ance Of everything. The sentries marched up
and down their respective beats with the air
and precision Of veterans, and many persons
remarked that if they did not know otherwise
they could not have told but that the occu-
pants of the fort were regulars tried and true
During the afternoon, before the arrival of
the presidential party, Lieut. Col Willard
Howard, Capt J. B. Phipps. Lieut. W. K.
Richardson and Capt Isadore Becker of the
fourth battalion. National Guard of Maryland
and Lieut. Col. Frank Markoe and Capt. B. f.
Stokes Of the fifth battalion, Maryland Ma
tional Guard, inspected the camp. In q CONVEX
satlon with reporter Of TIE STAR Col How
ard said:
II am certainly agreeably surprised at the
high standing Of the District National Guard,
and the people of Washington have just cause
to feel proud of their representative soldier
boys. One thing strikes me as being especially
complimentary, and that is the regularity and
precision Of the company streets. The drilling
Is also far above the average, and the general
management Of the camp cannot be too highly
spoken Of"
Just then the crack company of the Fenci-
bles came marching in, company front They
marched with great precision and the Maryland
boys applauded them when they came to
halt. Capt. Domer then put them through the
manual. The Maryland guardsmen were unani-
nous In the verdict that it was one of the best
companies they had ever seen, and when Capt
Domer marched them away the applause was
enthusiastic.

Bearing this in mind he was careful TO escort
Speaker Reed to the gangway, and as soon as
the boat was securely moored and the semi
satisfactory plank had been showed ashore
an endeavor was made to make the big man
from Maine go ashore on trial trip. But the
Speaker had been in the seafaring business
himself and knew trick worth two of that, so
he graciously bowed and allowed the chief
magistrate to make the effort unaided. The
President got over safely and then the Speaker,
seeing the gangplank would safely hold MP
such political heavyweight as President Har-
rlson, entrusted his avoirdupois to the ten feet
OF timber and. after one or two slides. he sue
ceeded in landing safely on terra frma. =.
THE SALUTE. o,
Just as the President touched the shore the
guns of the battery commenced to fire fhe
presidential salute Of twenty-one guns. The
guards on duty at the wharf saluted, the men,
bers OF the troop presented sabers. Gen. Ord
way and his staff were extremely courteous,
and when the little formalities Of a welcome
were completed the entire party went up the
hill, followed by as many Of the multitude as
could find the road in the great cloud of dust
kicked up by the cavalrymen.

THE BEHRING SEA CONTENTION.
Drift of the Talk at the Capitol About
the Correspondence.

The Behring sea correspondence has caused
considerable talk at the Capitol and the tone
Of it is gratifying. The general opinion ex.
pressed is that it shows us to be master of the
situation, and that however threatening the
seeming attitude Of the British government,
may be we will win the contention.
The correspondence shows that the British
press has been disappearing our claims by
stating that our contention was for jurisdiction
over the whole Of Behring sea, as over a
harbor. No such claim was made by Mr..
Bayard, nor Is it made In this correspondence
The claim as very clearly stated by Mr.. Blaine
is the right to protect the seal, as herdman
may protect his stock that has wandered of
the range. As Mr.. Blaine states the destruc-
ton OF the seal is a wrong against the whole of
mankind. They must be protected Their
home being on our shores they are ours to pro-
tect wherever they may wander.
BUT CANADA OBJECTED.
There is no claim on the part of the United
States that effects the free navigation Of Behr-
ing Sea. The British government had
practically conceded all that we claim, aud
negotiations were drawing to a conclusion
last spring, when, as Mr.. Blaine says, Lord
Salisbury abruptly closed the negotiations
because the Canadian government objected,
and he assigned no other reason whatever
Since then the contention seems to have
been largely as to whether or not Lord Sails
bury had actually reached an agreement with
Minister Phelps The correspondence has
been frequent and voiuminous since then, but
there does not appear TO have been
any basis for negotiations agreed upon, and as
the correspondence ends, all the negotiations
have been dropped where Lord Salisbury
closed them abruptly, because of Canada's OBJ
lection, and not one step Of progress toward an
agreement has been made since.
M.sryp oF THE ARGUMENT
By his letters Mr.. Blaine has clearly defined
our position and made us master of the argu-
ment. On the surface England has made an
implied threat that trouble will
follow any seizure of Canadian
seaiers, and the United States
has refused to change its policy in this matter.
But neither nation wants any trouble, and there
il considerable bluff on the part of the
British. The officers of the United
States cutters have, doubtless, been
instructed to act with great discretion and not
to provkoe trouble unnecessarily. On the
other hand the British authorities are appar-
entity exercising their power TO restrain the
poaching sealers, 90 that collision 10 not prob

telephone message was received from the
wharf announcing that the presidential launch
would be at the landing in a few minutes.
At THE LANDING.
The cavalry werc at once notified to proceed
to the wharf, an order which was obeyed amid
great popular enthusiasm and much noise.
they were not satisfied with walking their
horses slowly down the road, but, instigated by
their warlike and enthusiastic commanding
officer, deliberately and with malice afore-
thought trotted at a very hard AMI dirt-dis-
tributing gait down the slope to the light house.
The hundreds Of people who had just arrived
on the Manchester made no effort to reach
camp. They wanted to see the President.
When a few minutes later that distinguished
gentleman put in an appearance a way was
opened through the center Of the crowd to
permit him to pass through to the ambulance
which had been provided as proper vehicle.

The House elections committee will vote to-
morrow on the Breckenridge case coming UT
from Arkansas. The decision. there is good
ground to believe, will be against Mr. Breckin-

House dispose of the report at an early day.
Mr.. Breckenridge has offered himself for re-
nomination, and those acquainted with the
situation in his district declare that his return
here is q certainty.
In the case of Langston against venable,
from the Petersburg, Va, district, an effor,
will be made when the discussion is entered
upon in the House to have the committees re-
port, which favors the seating of Langston re-

against him.
THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
At the meeting of the Senate committee on

practicable day in pursuance to the numerous
requests that have como to them from their
constituents and others asking for action on the

are made therein may be prosecuted. Chair
