Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, July u.

CORRESPONDENCE VI litC S"HNtsS'J
WASHINGTON, July II.
The House pension committee has
agreed upon a bill in the nature of a
substitute for the Senate bill and others
on the same subject amending the pen
sion act of January 1887, so as to allow
pensions to all persons, who, under reg
ular military command, though not en-
listed. participated in engagements,
The bill also increases the rate of the
Mexican war pension from SIS to SD
per month
Mollie B. Crouch was appointed post
master at Crouch, King and Queen
county, Virginia, to-day, vice r. P.
Prince, resigned.
The Surgeon General of the marine
hospital service issued orders to-day
prohibiting the landing of passengers
and freight from any of the cholera III
fected ports until disinfected.
Lieut.. j. II. L. Holcombe was de-
tached from the Thetis to-day and
granted three months leave of absence.
The general impression on the sub
iect at the Capitol to-day is that the ac-
ton of the democratic caucus of the
House last night has effectually killed
the silver bill, if that bill had not, as
many think, been killed before. To
amend it, as proposed, would, it is
thought, be impossible this late in the
session, but II otherwise, so anxious is
the Senate to adjourn, that it could be
talked to death there. But tho antis
in the House say is will never get out
of that body, and that they have enough
strength now to defeat it even on
square vote.
The bill to accept the bequest of
S25O,000 for memorial hali at West
Point made by the late Gen. Geo. W.
Cullum was reported favorably in the
Senate to-day. 1t creates a board of
trustees to take charge of the work of
construction.
The Vice President has signed the
postoffice, the Indian and pension APP
preparation bills. They will now be
sent to the President for his approval.
By direction OF the President, the
General of the army issued orders to-
day by which large military force was

down the strikers riots in that locality
and to preserve peace and maintain
law and order there.
Mr.. Edgar Allen, better known in
Virginia as Yankee Allen, who is COM
mander of the Virginia division of the
G.. A. r., was here to-day looking Up
headquarters for that division during
the national encampment in this city
next September.

ALL OTHER means having failed to
prevent Congress from appropriatlng
six millions additional to the Chicago
fair, it is to be hoped the opposition to
such an appropriation by the Sunday
observers unless the fair be closed on
that day, and that of the negroes unless
their race be recognized on the fair
committee, will effect the desired result.
Why the money exacted from poor Viz
ginians by taxes on the necessaries OF
life should be given to rich Chicago, to
pay the expense of a fair to be held in
that city, is one ofthe many things they
can't understand.

The PENNSYLVANIA TRooPs.-As
the train bearing Companies D and G,
from Allentown, rolled into the depot
at Lebanon yesterday afternoon, it was
met by crowd of workmen. Some of
the crowd began hurting stones through
the windows of the cars and three of the
members of Company d were badly cut
by broken glass.
The 5th, 9th and 18th regiments pass
ed through Altoona at II o'clock last
night. All the men say they were well
received along the route to Altoona ex-
cepting those of the 18th. From Scran-
ton to Northumberland the sentiment
seems to be antagonistic to the troops,
and they were hooted and jeered at
every stop, The men in this regiment
are all mine=workers, and the officers
had some difficulty in keeping them
quiet when they were called escabs, y
as they were at several places.
In one company the men openly de-
clare they will not stand guard over
non-union or scab workmen, but will
rather help to keep them out of the
mills,

THE FNDEAvoRERs ON CHANGE.

IHE ENDEAVORERS -. Sh1ATN0E.
The most remarkable happening in
the history of the Stock Ex-
change was witnessed yesterday
during the visit of several hun
dred Christian Endeavor delegates.
Business was dull, but the brokers made
a pretense of carrying on transactions
to Impress their visitors. It proved a
hollow affair, and, finally, Dick Hal
stead, the joker Of the Exchange, hand
ed around stock slips in limitation of
hymn slips. The brokers saw the point
at once, and, under the lead of Mr..
Halstead and others, began to sing
Moody and Sankey hymns. The effect
on the visitors was marvellous. They
joined in the singing with vehemence
which caused the walls ofthe Exchange
to sway. AS their excitement grew,
they shouted louder and louder. Itwas
more inspiring than a revival meeting
Finally, Mr.. Harding's enthusiasm
cause him to start Old O'Leary, and
the Christian Endeayor forces re-
treated.

PRESENT APPEARANCES indicate that
the bill granting the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad an entrance into the Dis
trict of Columbia at Georgetown will
not pass Congress either at this or at

Washington, will have to come by this

HOUSE.

A resolution was adopted setting
apart to-day for the consideration of
bills called up by the committee on the
election of President, Vice President
and members of Congress.
The conference report on the District
of Columbia appropriation bill was SUBJ
mitted and agreed to. 1t appropriates
100000 to meet the expenses of the G..
A. R. encampment in Washington-the
appropriation to be paid entirely out of
the revenues of the District of Column
bia.
The joint resolution proposing a con-
stitutional amendment for the election
of Senators by popular vote was then
taken up and Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia,
spoke in favor thereof.
Mr.. Tucker was listened to with the
greatest attention, and at the conclu-
sion of his speech received warm con-
gratulations. He is forcible in his de-
livery and graceful in his gestures, in
both those points resembling his dis
father.

SOME OF the many northern people
whose ill-fecling toward Virginia and
all things peculiar to her has not been
assuaged by the time that has elapsed
since the war, now denounce her Uni
versity because it is possible for medi-
cal student there to obtain his diploma
in one session. ignoring the fact that
the University session is more than
twice rs long as that of the northern
medical colleges. But even if that were
not so, and the session were but day
long, the diploma issued would prove
that the possessor thereof is thoroughly
familiar with the whole theory of mcdi-
cine for, in order to gctit, he has to go
into room without books, and, in sight
of the professor, write satisfactory an
swers to certain questions propounded
on blackboard, the ability to do which
affords conclusive proof of the fact that
he understands the science of medicine
in all its various parts. A physician
with diploma awarded by the Uni
yersity of Virginia can obtain one
without further study from any other
college by paying the required fees.

THE FACILITY and immunity with
which the law has been subverted IN
Pennsylvania has, and by no means
surprisingly, been accepted as prece-
dent in Idaho, where yesterday some
strikers, in a conflict with the men who
had been engaged in their places, blew
up and totally destroyed the mill III
which the latter were employed. The
State of Idaho will be held responsible
for the damage, as that of Pennsylvania
will be for every cent of Mr.. Carnesics
loss, and the people of those States will
be taxed to raise the required money,
and the strikers in both will have to
pay their full share, ifthey shall remain
where they are.

OWING TO the totally unnecessary
destruction of fish in the Potomac by
the various traps, nets and other devices
by which whole schools are taken at
one scoup, though only a few are fit for
food, fish are becoming as scarce here
as they are in the mountains and Just
as dear. White perch are worth almost
their weight in silver dollars, and q
single sturgeon sold a day or two ago
for nine dollars, though the retail price
for fish of that kind formerly was three
cents pound. There are close seasons
for game, but the fishermen, like death,
have all seasons for their own, and
neither tho legislatures of Virginia and
Maryland, nor Congress will interfere.

REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS and writers
rely chiefly upon the sugar section of
the Mckinley bill as their defense
against the democratic attacks upon
that bill. This shows the opinion they
entertain of the intelligence of the
average voter, for the section referred
to embodies the principle of free trade,
so far as relates to raw sugar. The tax
on raw sugar was removed, and the
price of sugar was at once reduced, and
so would it be with the price of all the

THE REPUBLICANS say Mr.. Carnegie
is by no means responsible for the at
tempt to bring an armed force from 9th
er States into Pennsylvania, and that
the blame therefor must be laid upon
Mr.. Prick, his manager. OF course, as
Mr.. Carnegie congratulated Mr.. Harri-
son upon his denomination, and con-
tributed literally toward his election in
'SS, and is expected to do likewise IN
80, the republicans would like to have
him appear in as favorable light as
possible; but when he is in daily com
munication by cable with Mr.. Frlck,
and when he says by such communica-
ton that he will not interfere, and ap-
proves all that Mr.. Prick has done or
may do in the premises, for them to say
that he is not responsible is as patiently
untrue as it is grotcsquely ridiculous.

other necessaries of life ifthe tariff tax
on them were also removed. The adj
vocates ola high tariff bill base their
chief support of that bill upon the single
low tariff provision it contains, and
they do so with degree of bare-faced
efrontery which shows that they I'M
agine the people they address are SO
densely ignorant as to be utterly beyond
the influence of free schools and cheap
newspapers. And for this, unfortunate
ly for the true interests of those people,
they have too good ground.

The Senate having, on motion OF Dir.
Allison, resumed consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill, the
effect of that action is (under the rulcs)
to relegate the anti-option bill which
had been gaken up by an affirmative
vote, to its place on the calendar not
withstanding the vote TO make it the
unfinished business.

CONGREGATIONAL MiniAtars.

The Congregational ministers of the city
and their wives were entertained by the
Rev. and Mrs. John W. Wilson at their
home on Vine street last evening. During
the evening Mr.. Wilson read paper on
Inspiration" that was timely and inter-
esting III view of the great interest on the
subject in the theological world. He pre-
sented a strong argument for the fact
of inspiration from tho character of
its contents and it's influence on the world.
Not only has the Bible had q place in his
tory, but 1t has made history. In treating
of the nature of inspiration, Mr.. WilsO n
held 1t to be plenary. but we must not for
get that there is q human as we'll as q

rather than TO verbal inspiration.
After full discussion the guests partook
of delightful supper. The next meeting
will be held at BrightwoOd, at the home Of
the Rev. John Harden.
