From General Kennay.


From General kenney.
Editor Gosette and journal. In your
issue of Thursday, July 9Th, an article APP
peared over the signature OF Richard Il.
Kenney, adjutant-genersl Of Delaware,
purporting to be an answer to com-
munication in the DeiGoarean OF July
9th, in which some structures were made
upon ''the military establishment of our
state" and that the military cost our pso-
pie the sum OF $l7, 900 for the year 1883.
The acknowledgement very disingenu-
ously attempts to invalidate the state
msnt OF facts contained in that commu-
nication by asserting that the "National
Guard enoRmpmeDt of 1889" did not cost
any such amount, when the article in
question did not pretend to give the cost
of the "National Guard encampment, :"
but the cost OF "the military establish
ment OF our State" which included the
National Guard eneampment, the expedi-
ton to New York, 90.
As the Sdjntant-general pretends ITO
give the exact figures" although there IL
discrepancy OF $50 between his exact
ness and the auditors report, herewith
append an itemizsd account of the actual
cost OF the military establishment OF
our State" for the year 1889, aud also a
summary Of the COST for the years 1887
and 1883

Freight Movement on the PennsyE
vania Road Impeded.
PITTsBURG, Jan I4-The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has been compelled to-
refuse freight for sea board during the past
few days on account of la grippe. The fact
Of the matter is that the freight crews of
the Pennsylvania railroad on the EASTERN
division have been paralyzed during
the past two weeks to such al
extent that it has been impossible to Ref
enough to handle freight with any degree
OF promptness. On one division, where 200
conductors, freight and passenger, are reg
ularly employed, 135 were Off duty at ona
time with grip. New men were put orI
some trains, but Ia the majority of cases il
was impossible to get new men, and when
they we're secured they proved to be more
easy victims of grip than the old men.
Freight began to collect on the eastern di-.
visions to such an extent that few days
ago an order was issued to send no more
freight for seaboard points until further
notice. There was blockade of freight at.
Altoona yesterday, due to the fact that the
trainmaster was unable to get out full cars,
and only about half of the usual amount of
freight could be handled.

A Presbyterian Clergyman Raises a
Lively stir in Charl eston.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 14-The letter pub
lished this morning from Rev. DR.. Thomp-
son, pastor Of the Scotch Presbyterian
church, denouncing the Protestants who
took prominent part In the reception of
Cardinal Gibbons and in the ceremony OF
laying the cornerstone of the new cathe-
dral, has created something of a sensation.
The Roman Catholic portion of the COM
munity is disposed to look on and view the
quarrel from afar. The most indignant are
the prominent Protestant churchmen who
are denounced by DIR. Thompson.
Among those vino took a prominent part
in the reception of the cardinal and the
ceremonies we're Rev. DIR. Smart, pastor Of
Bethel Methodist church, Rev. d.
Levy, rabbi Of the Jewish
synagogue, Mayor Bryan, and Col. III. E.

ist Episcopal church, and dozen or moro

these are mad.

here this morning An attempt was made
to interview them on the subject of the

MIR. Butterworth-But is it fair division
of labor for yoU to exhibit the virtue and
us to make the sacrifices? Laughter
Mr.. Kennedy of Ohio inquired whether it
was not true that members on the demo-
cratic side got tip to draw their money.
Mr.. Hemphill replied that he had never
heard of such thing; and his denial was
corroborated by Mr.. Adams, who stated
that nothing of the kind had come to the
knowledge of the committee.
Mr.. Holman contested the proposition
that the sergeant-at-arms was q disbursing
officer.
BLOUNT SPEAKS FOR THE SUFFERERS.
Mr.. Blount of Georgia spoke in support
OF the bill of the majority, and ridiculed
the ldea OF requiring private depos1torS to
go to the court of claims in order to recover
their money. He also strongly opposed the
pro rata method of solving the difficulty,
declaring that the House had no right to
make a pro rata distribution, and that it
would be a dishonest proceeding.
He admitted that there was
no express statute making the sergeant
alarms disbursing officer but the rules
of tho House and the custom growing up
under them had conStructively made him
so. The very payment of money to the
sergeant-at-arms before it was due was on
the theory that he was disbursing officer,
else the treasury had no right to pay it to
him at all.
REQUIRED TO GIVE BOND.
That he was a disbursing officer was
shown by requiring him to give bend, by
giving him a cashier teller and bookkeeper,
and by requiring members to certify to him
their mileage accounts. He was not afraid
to take the position he did. Any action on
his part suggested by fear and from which
there would come wrong to his fellow mem
bers would be unworthy of him, and no
such motiYe would prevent him from de-
claring to the House and the country his
conclusions as to the rights Of his asso-
ciateS.
Pending further debate, the House at 8
o'clock adjourned.
