FIRST OF THE SENATORS,
Jones, OF Arkansas, Going to Washington
Early to Assist the Democrats


Senator Jones, of Arkansas, passed
through the city last evening bound for
Washington. He intends to remain for the
opening of Congress. He thinks the bulk
of the Democratic Congressman will be
on the ground in the next ten
days. The Presidential election is so
c4bse that the party managers want
to get the discordant elements in the ccrn.
irg House harmonized as soon as possible.
The Democrats will make as few mistakes
as possible, so that they can go to the coun-
try with good reco:d. Congress won t
assemble until December, but this accounts
for the anxiety of the Democrats to have
their men on the ground early, and outline
definite plan of action.
''This Congress will be business one, I"
remarked the broad-shonldcrel Senator.

County Chairman Bremen Declares Against
the Crawford County System.
Chairman Bremen talked about the intro
duction of the Crawford county system of
voting in Allegheny county last night. He
thinks it would be mistake in regard to
the Democratic party, giving as a reason
that their vote is too small as compared
with the Republicans.
The Straightout Democrats are now agi-
tated over the selection of new leader for
the ranks, and great interest is being
evinced as to who will be the selected
party. Mr.. Bremen wished to deny en-
phatically that he ever uttered the words as
published, ''To hades with the State ticket"
when asked about the chances of the Demo.
cratic State candidates.

The Navy Department has received under
date of Unalaska, Alaska, July IL, long
letter from Commander c. S. Cotton, Of the
Mohcan,. commanding the United States
naval forces in Bering Sea. The Mohican ar
rived at Unalaska on the Sth of July. The
following extracts from the letter are given:
"Upon my arrival here 1 found II. NJ. s.
Nymphe, Commander c.. T. Turner, K. N,
commanding from Victoria, B. c., she having
arrived on the afternoon of the 9TH instant.
Commander Turner is the senior British naval
officer in the Bering Sea. l found also the
chartered steamer Alki and the revenue
steamer Rush in the inner harbor, the former
having arrived from San Francisco on the I'd
instant, with Lieutenant Commander w. w.
Mead, U. S. N, in charge, and the Marine
Guard, Captain H. C.. Cochrane, U. S. NJ. c.,
commanding. The Alert arrived here from
Victoria on the 9th instant, with Lieutenant
Richard Wainwright, U. S. N, in command,
Commander Hitchcock having been left at
st. Joseph's Hospital, Victoria, too i'll to pro-
ceed in his ship. To the present time twenty
eight vessels have been boarded and warned
by the Thetis, and four by the Rush. The
commanding officers of the Nymphe, Thetis,
Alert, Rush. and this vessel have conferred
freely as to the best course to be pursued to
carry into effect the Presidents proclamation,
the British order in council, and the orders
that have been issued by the Navy and Treas
ury Departments and the British Admiralty
Office, and also, as to the most effective dis
position of the available force present.
Commander Turner (of the Nymphe) has
expressed himself as being strongly in favor of
hearty cooperation between the United
States and the British forces and he has been
met by similar disposition upon the part of
the commanders of the United States vessels.
shall leave provisional orders for the COM
mander of the Marion, and Lieutenant Com
mander Mead has been instructed to remain
here with the Alki until my return and to
receive and take charge of any seized vessels.
their crews, arms, ETC., that may be sent by
United States vessels during my absence or
any American vessels that may be seized and
sent in to report to him by any of the British
Naval commanders.
~ am informed that the sealing fleet this
season numbered about seventy vessels, of
which about one-half have already been board
ed and warned.'
Commander Cotton incloses several reports
made to him by Commander George G.. Reiter
of the Thetis, one Of the United States vessels
that is assisting the Mohican in patroling the
waters of Bering Sea. In report dated Una
1aska Harbor. Alaska, July II, Commander
Reiter says that he sailed from Unalaska
July 5, and arrived at st. George Island on
the 7th. After communicating with the shore
he got under way and a schooner was sighted
at 9:20 a. m. The Commander says: ~ i'm
mediately stood for her and gained until three
boats, which were out, were picked up, when
she showed me "a clean pair of heels, there
being fresh breeze from the north and east.

PENITENTIARY FOR LIFE.
Elliott Says He's Martyr to the Cause
of Pure Womanhood.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Aug. S.-William j. FL
lott, convicted of murder in the second de-
gree for the killing of A. c. Osborn last
February, was to-day sentenced to the Ohio
penitentiary for life. There was a great
crowd present, but not one of the defendants
relatives were in court. Judge Pugh first took
up the motion for new trial and reviewed
the evidence in the case, commenting in
scathing manner upon the testimony of GER
tain witnesses for the defence who were de-
clared to have perjured themselves without
stint. The killing of Osborn was character
lied by the court as deliberate, malicious, re-
lentless murder. The verdict was declared to
be not against the weight of evidence, and the
motion to set it aside was overruled. A mo-
ton for stay of the sentence pending appeal
to the Supreme Court was overruled, and the
prisoner was asked if he had anything to say
before receiving sentence. Elliott arose and
made speech of some length, in which he
declared before the Immaculate God that he
was innocent; that he had not expected TO
meet Osborn on that fatal day; that Osborn
began the shooting, He also claimed the jury
had done him great wrong. He said he would
bid goodbye to liberty with the reflection that
he was victim of circumstances andwas suf-
fering for his devotion to the cause of pure
womanhood, Judge Pugh then sentenced
Elliott to imprisonment at hard labor during
the rest of his natural life.

ASKED TO EXPLAIN.
An Apparent Inconsistency in Attorney
Hazelton's Opinions.

An Apparent Inconsistency in Attorney
Haze1ton's Opinions.
Some time ago the Washington Gas Light
Company asked for permission to lay certain
pixies for piping oil to be used in the manu-
facture of gas. The matter was referred to
Attorney Hazelton, who returned an opinion
that it was within the power of the Com
missioners to grant the permit. This opinion
APPARENTLY conflicted with two Others of a
seemingly similar character which he rendered
in the cases Of the Nicolai Brothers who de-
sired to run a line of pipe to the freight yards
of the B. & z. X. K. Company, and the r. e
d. r. +. which desired tolay steam pipes for
heating purposes. Commis ssoner Ross, as
acting president of the board, thereupon
wrote letter to Attorney for the District
Hazeton calling his attention to the apparent
inconsistency, stating that the Commissioners
under the circumstances were embarrassed to
decide how far their official action should be in
huenced thereby, and requesting an opinion as
to what general rule I'm the premises should be
followed by the District authorities. Yester-
day afternoon Attorney Hazelton pre-
sented his written answer in person to
Commissioner Ross, and when he left the
board room it was quite evident that he was
not little incensed that he was asked to ex-
plain. In his answer he calls attention to the
fact that this is the second he has rendered
upon the same subject "The Commission
ers,' he states, 'are empowered by Congress
to exercise the entire control for keeping in
repair the streets, avenues, alleys, and sewers
of the city, but their power to grant the un-
derground use and occupancy of the streets
by pipes, conduits ETC., depends upon the
action of Congress- all power over the streets
of the city, except as heretofore stated, being
reserved in the General Government. 1t fol-
lows therefore that the Commissioners must
look to Congress for the authority before they
can exercise it.n The opinion further says
that the application of the Nicolai Brothers
was for private enterprise, and was properly
rejected because of its conflict with the law
prohibiting the occupancy CT the public
streets by any private person for any private
use whatever. The distinction between this
case and that of the Gas Company, corpora
tion created by Congress and operating solely
under corporate authority, is too clear for
comment. The application in the case of the
Richmond and Danville Railroad is within
the law heretofore stated, provided the pipes
are essential and necessary for the proper
running of the road. In conclusion the
opinion says: 81 do not deem it necessary to
make any further statement as my opinion
already submitted places that application
clearly within the rule herein stated, and
which l submit for your action as the wisest
and best that l am able to present, in view of
the interests of the city, and the rights of the
General Government and the corporations
created by it,

Acting Secretary Nettleton yesterday wrote
the following letter to General O'Beirne, Act
ing Commissioner of immigration at the port
of New York, in regard to the landing of i'm
migrants on Sunday: "You state to this de-
partment that great and unnecessary hard
ship is placed upon employees in your office
by requiring them to be on duty every Sun
day during the year; that the business of
landing immigrants at the port of New York
can undoubtedly be adjusted so as to dis
pense for the most part with Sunday work,
and allowing the large force necessarily en-
ployed in connection with immigration mat
tiers at the port of New York to enjoy usual
and needed Sunday rest. You further state
that such change can be carried out with
out serious Inconvenience to arriving immi-
grants.
sit is the uniform policy of this Depart
ment in all the various branches of service al
lotted to it, to permit only such an amount of
Sunday work as is clearly necessary to the
public welfare and required by the claims of
humanity. In view of your representations
above cited, you are hereby authorized to
inaugurate the change thus recommended by
you, giving such reasonable notice to steam
ship companies as the circumstances seem to
require and see to it that any resulting dis
comfort to immigrants is reduced to a mini

THE sHARPsHooTERs' OUTING.
All the Details Arranged for Their
March to Harper's Ferry.


The final arrangements have been made for
the trip of Company A, Fifth Battalion,
District National Guard, to Harper's Ferry
next Sunday. Captain Benson paid a visit
to the Ferry during the week, and settled
matters. AS stated in the last issue Of THE
HERALD the command will go in heavy
marching order. The march will be up the
river road across the Chain Bridge, and
thence up the Leesburg pike. 1t has been de-
termined to divide the trip into three marches
of twenty miles day, the first encampment
to be pitched at Potomac village. 1t will be
the same route as that lately taken by the
Cavalry Company. The men will be ac-
companied by four horse team laden with
provisions, enough to last them to the Ferry.
During the five days stay there, they viii
take their meals at the Harper's Ferry Hotel,
the tariff on each man for that time being
placed at $3.50. The proprietor of the hotel
has notified Captain Benson that he will meet
the command about twelve miles out from
the Ferry with brass band and refreshments,
and escort them into town.
There will be fully forty rifles in line,
oficered by Captain Benson and Lieutenant
Johnstone, while Orderly Sergeant E. ii.
Lloyd will give the speed Of the route step.
The boys expect to have a good time, as the
people Of the Ferry are making preparations
TO give them rousing old Virginia reception
and welcome. The return TO the city will be
on the 3lst instant

THE 1NFANTRYs ENCAMPMENT.
Every Indication of Delightful Stay at
Ocean View.

The disappointment which the Washington
Light Infantry Corps and its friends felt at
abandoning the proposed encampment at
Atlantic City has been entirely forgotten in
the pleasant anticipation of the good time
they will have during their soiourn at Ocean
View, Va, where they will go next Sunday
morning. A unique feature of this trip will
be the sail down the Potomac and Chesapeake
Bay by daylight, thus affording an opportunity
which is seldom offered for viewing the
beauties of river scenery along the Potomac.
The corps will leave the city next Sunday at
Z o'clock on the new steamer Norfolk
Its expected that large crowd of friends
will accompany the militiamen to take adj
vantage Of the daylight run down the river
and bay Reduced rates have been obtained
and arrangements made so that friends of the
corps who wish to go with them can come up
on the same boat Sunday night and be back
In the city in time for business on Monday.
The tickets are good, however on any boat
during the encampment, and for five days
after its close. They can be obtained at the
Infantry's armory any evening and at most OF
the prominent stores in the city.
In anticipation of the expected crowd ac-
commodstions have been made for about 400
persons on the down trip. The location of
the encampment is a charming one. Ocean
Viewis about five miles below Fort Monroe,
which will be in plain sight from the camp,
while Norfolk and Virginia Beach are within
easy reaching distance. The camp will be
located on the spacious and beautiful lawn OF
the hotel, where arrangements have been made
to accommodate the friends Of the corps.
The encampment will be under the command
of Colonel William G.. Moore, and promises
to be the most successful one the Infantry hts
ever had. 1t will last from August 16 to "a
inclusive.
