Our Washington correepondcut sayss
There is not word of truth In the
statements made i'm democratic papers
that the republican Senators had made
u bargain with the democrats by which
the Federal Election bill was to
be shelved for the session in return for
democratic promises Of not obstruct-
ing or delaying the passage of the
Mckinley tariff ILL. No such bargain
has been made, and no such bargain
will be made. The republicans have
u large majority in the Senate, and to
intimate that they would allow the
minority to dictate what should or
should not be done by that body is
simply to insult some OF the brainiest
members of the republican party. The
tariff bill will certainly pass before
adjournment, but no determination

Election bill. 1t is thought another
republican caucus will be called before
it is finally decided what shall be done
with it. One was held last night and
several Senators who had been credit
ed as opposing it stated that they
favored it.

BAD VIRGINIA ROADS.


The meeting OF the taxpayers of the county
OF Alexandria at Balston last night for the
purpose of passing judgment on the road inn
provement project over which Mr.. A. p
Douglass presided, was rather slimly
attended owing to the storm and
was also somewhat of disappoint-
ment to the movers of that proposition. The
scheme is contained in a bill which is to be
introduced in the Virginia legislature, and pro-
vides for the issue OF $4,000 worth of bonds
by Alexandria county for the
IMPROVEMENT OF THE MAIN PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
in the county; for the appointment of a county
engineer, who shall have charge of all roads,
and the adjustment of the offices of road over
seer, road supervisor and county surveyor At
former meeting Of tax payers this bill was
referred to committee consisting Of
Messrs. Phillips. Douglass, Lacey, DIR. Gray
and Commonwealth Attorney Clements. About
thirty-five people braved the storm to attend
last nights meeting, which was called for the
purpose OF considering the report of the
committee, which was favorable to
the Endorsement of the measure. A rather
animated discussion followed the presentation
OF the report and when vote was taken it was
found that there was
MAJORITY AGAINST THE BILL
The ground taken by the opponents was that
the state is too heavily in debt to issue any
more bonds. The urgency of the proposed
improvement was conceded and no opposition
was shown to the form of the bill the objec-
tions being in the line of economy. Not
outstanding this reverse the agitators of the
scheme intend to push the measure and will
take steps at once to secure its Introduction BY
MIR. Hume the delegate from Alexandria county
to the legislature. They claim that last night 5
meeting was far from representing the citizens
oft he county and that a fuller meeting would
probably show different feeling

Its growth in the last few years has been won-

Vertising medium of Washington city. During
the last year 65,522 different advertisements
were inserted The space taken in advertise
ments is simply wonderful, being 9223 columns
