gain be taken up j. an undecideGE
question with the Republican Sem
alors, and | think lis decision will
depend largely upon the tone of the
Republican press during the next
few days if the Republican news-
papers had been unanimous, or even
nearly so, in favor of this bill it
would hong ago have become law.
The shipping bill still hangs fire in
the House and its friends nre not as
confident of is passage as they were
week ago. Yhe trouble arises from
the opposition on the Republican
side, which numbers from twenty to
thirty.
The condition. Of the United States
Treasury as an wnfailing barometer
Of the money market, and the daily
increase in the surplus shows that,
confidence is rspidly returning and
that money is again travelling in its
usual channels. The Surplus now
amounts to more than 5000. O00,in
spite of the large purchases of silver
and bonds which Secretary Window
is constantly making in order to put
the money back into active circula-
tion, anu it will not be Surprising If
proposals for the purchase of per
cent bOnds-43 per cent bonds are
now pUrchased-are shortly issued
by the Treasury department.
The Senate coHamiltee on Foreign
Relations has reported in favor of
the United States guaranteeing $780,
6O0. 900 of bonds to be issued to COM
plete the Nicaragua canal. The com.
mittee says in its report that this
would be the most economical
method of protect ing the interests of
the people Of this country in the
canal.
Representative Anderson OF Kan
sas, has introduced Il resolution re.
Guestin g the Interstate Commerce
commission to investigate the west.

Congress.
Secretaries Noble and Proctor are
in perfect accord on the Indian ques-
ton and all reports to the contrary

The annual excursion OF the Asbury
M. =. Sunday school took place yes
terday, June IL. About a thousand
persons left on the Steamer Columbia
at 7.30 a M, and arrived at Chestnut
Grove at 1l.80. 1t was delightful ex-
cursion, the party all seeming very So
ciable and determined to have merry
time. Nothing whatever occurred 10
maa the pleasure Of the excursion
lists.
It was said by some older membeis 8
of the church that it was the best ex-
cursion Asbury ever gave; not In II 9
number who went, but In the kindly
spirit and general behavior of all. Tie
day was perfect excursion day. I'll Q
boat was excellent in its appointments,
and all that the committee could Go
was done to make all enjoy themselves.
Two or three baskets were misplaced,
and were not found during the day,
but the owners and their families wei Q
dined by the committee at the restau-
rant on the grounds.
The Columbia Is pleasant boat on
which to make trip. The officers are
gentlemanly, quiet and polite, always
ready to answer question in q cour-
teous manner, and exercising great
thought tho & and Judgment in caring for for
.ho 'SyoSCos Aho picaouio VI buo
trip was greatly increased by the pres.
ence of Hyatt's Band, the members OF
which rendered highly appreciated
music. The band seemed determined
to do their very best for those who had
employed them, fOr they not only per.
formed selections OF high order, but
they played almost constantly.
Concerts were given on the upward
passage, on the ground, and on the
return trip. The criticism so often
heard, "The band don't play any" and
the question, ''Why don't the band
play" were not heard yesterday, for
perfect satisfaction was given by these
gentlemen. Chestnut Grove Is we'll
known to tho citizens OF Wilmington,
but 1t may be said that the MANAGE
ment there Is excellent.
The proprietor is always careful Of
the interest of the excurslonists, and
denied himself to make Asbury have
good time. The committee that
managed the whole affair deserves
great credit for such delightful ex-
cursior.
On the ground, the older people en-
joyed the shade OF the trees, and the
delightfully."- refreshing breezes; the
young men, and even the pastor, Joined
In game OF ball; the young people
wa ked thrcu yh the delightful by-paths
OIL every hand or took drives along
the Leautiful roads, and the children
went everywhere.
At 8 o'clock the boat reached Will
mington with e t'rod crowd, who has
tened TO their homes, declaring that
such perfectly lovely trip they had
never had before.
