WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, Aug. 7. 1891:-A new
the speakership fight, and it is by no
means impossible that the Representa-
tives elected as members Of the Farmers
Alliances and those elected as democrats,
but who are members OF the Alliance
may by combining their votes succeed
in naming the next Speaker. Already
by the four Alliance democrats elected
I from Georgia that unless lie will endorse
the Ocala platform they will not vote for
him. Whether these gentlemen are act
ing independen tly or in concert with the
|other Alliance men elected to the next
House is the conundrum that is worrying
the political prophets just now
For some time past there
has been considerable talk about
the amount of money in circulation per
capita IN the United States, therefore
the tables prepared by the Treasury
Department giving the exact figures
may be said to fill "long felt want. In
1860 the amount per capita in circulation
was Sl3.S5; in 1865 it was s2O.S2 in 1885
it was S23.Ol and on the first of January
Of the present year it reached the
highest amount in our history, S24. TO-
Since then 1t has been reduced by the
heavy shipment OF gold to foreign conn-
tries, and on the first OF August it was
$23.37, or nearly back to what it was in
1885.
Naval officers are feeling very jubilrnt
over the series OF experiments conducted
at Annapolis within the past few days to
ascertain the destructive power Of GER
tam class OF projectile. An injuoction Of
secrecy has been placed upon all who
were present at the experiments; but it
is said that it was demonstrated that the
United States can sink the heaviest
armored vessel now atloat if it comes
within range OF these proiectiles. Ifthis
be true the problem Of harbor and coast
defense will be solved.
Mr.. Cleveland is so much worried by
being an eX-President that he wants tho
people to help him to get rid Of the "ey.'
! This worry is q very common disease
among ex officials Of all sorts.

WORK BEGUN

For the Erection of the New Addi-
ton to the Premises of the Young
WOmen's Christian Association.
Those interested in the progress of the
Young Women's Christian association will
be gratified to learn that the new. build
ing so long desired and so much needed in
the prosecution of this work, has at
length been commenced. The plan com
prises twenty-four new bedrooms, com.
plete arrangements for the convenience OF
the home, and dining room forty seven
feet long by 81 broad, large enough fol
the monthly entertainment, with a chance
for all to see and hear. The present
building will retain the library and read
ing room and class rooms, as heretofore
and also the new and prosperous Woman's
exchange. The estimates call for $50, 00C
independently of furnishing. About $10,.
200 have been secured, and we go forward
confident that we can meet the interest on
the loan, but earnestly hoping that friends
who have learned the value of the institu
ton will aid us in extinguishing the bebt.

Organ-A $4,000 Improvement.

A Milford Pastor-Rev. DR.. Munger
ON His Way Home-Trinity Church
Organ-A $4,000 Improvement.
Rev. Mr.. Mcmillan of Milford preached
at the M. E. chapel on Edwards street
yesterday morning and evening, both his
sermons awakening much interest and
being listened to with close attention. His
morning sermon was upon the Christian
life and Christian living and the wondrous
power of Christian principle in blessing
and shaping the lives of men. The con-
gregation worshipping at this church will,
contrary to first expectations, worship in
the temporary chapel building during the
coming winter, owing to unexpected
changes in the plans for their coming
beautiful new edifce. Alterations have
been made in the plans, which will lessen
the cost, while not detracting from the
architectural beauty of the designs.
Trinity parish has expended $1,000 this
summer on the organ. New pipes have
been put in and other repairs and improve
ments have been made so that when the
work is completed the organ will practi-
cally be new one. In all about $4,000
will be expended on this improvement.
The organ will not be ready for use
probably until the first Sunday in October.
At yesterday forenoon's service at the
church Rev. DR.. HARDWOOD preached; at
the evening service Rev. Mr.. Nichols
of6ciated. The congregations were fair
sized. Many Of the parishioners are yet
away on their vacations.
At St. Thomas church yesterday Rev.
Dr. BeardsIey preached at the morning
service, at the afternoon service his neph-
ew, Rev. Mr.. Beardsley, preached.
At the rooms of the Young Mems Chris
tan association yesterday meeting for
men was held at o'clock in the after
noon. Several speakers gave brief ad-
dresses and music was provided.
The Rev. T. T. Munger is expected back
from Europe this week and will probably
preach next Sunday. The Rev. Mr.. Miles,
the assistant pastor of the United church,
preached yesterday.
