The Republican College League VIII
Exert q Great influence.

The Hon. II. S. Crosby returned from
Ann Arbor yesterday, where he had at.
tended the banquet rendered by the
Republican club OF tue Michigan uni
vefs,ty to the kindred organization of
tire educational institutions of the
country. He was seen by reporter
for The HERALD last evening, aud in
answer 10 questions concerning the ef-
feet on publlcsn:sm produced by that
gathering Of brilliant leaders said:
II think the University club will exert
potent influence for the theory OF
protection. For some time past the pro-
fessors and instructors in our prominent
educational institutions have dissemi-
mated . doctrine of free trade to those
under their charge. This organization
and the outcome OF that enthusiastic
demonstration cannut result otherwise
than in the upbuilding and sustenancc
of republican principles. Mckinley's
speech in University hall was . CON-
plete innovation. The hall was packed
TO the doors, and those in attendance
were enthused with his electrical cnun-
clations of republican principles " an
extreme degree. Fully $500 people
sislened - spceches made by Governor
Mckinley. the Hon. John NJ. Thursson
of Nebraska, the Hon. j. Sloat Faese,t
of New York. the Hon. Jonn NJ. Langs-
ton of Virginia anu others. BY the
way, Mr.. Fassett 10 n former
Grand Rapids resident. lie was the
private tutor OF Phil Fuller way back
in the seventies. When met him last
evening he inquired very insercstedly
after his old acquainta nces IN this city.
He "a man from whom the people Of
this nation will hear favorable reports
in the future. consider him TO be one
of the most promising men ia the
country.
cit il generally conceded that
the banquet held last evening eclipsed
that of the Republican club at Detroit,
and the National Republican College
league, composed OF representatives OF
the various colleges throughout the
country, organized at the banquet. can
not do otherwise than exert powerful
influence for the doctrine OF protec-
ton. Il - an organization composed
of the young and educated class OF
progressive Americans. Nine hundred
and seventy-five persons we're seated At
the banquet, and the enthusiasm Gre
atcd by the responses ~ toasts was
almost irrepre~ible. This organization

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 81.


Assistant Secretary S%paulding has in
structcd the collector ofcustoms at Chi
cago that samples of articles imported
free of duty as exhibits may be freely
distributed ut the Worlds Columbian
exposition by the exhibitor provided
such samples are of no commercial
value. He says that no imported ar
| ticlc at the exposition shall be sold and
delivered, however, without payment of
the duty upon the same after due entry
Mt the custom house.
Speculations are still rife about the
chances of the acceptance by Mr..
Chaunccy NJ. Dcpew of the portfolio of
State. Everybody is anticipating that
some news of the situation will be given
out soon. 1t was positively asserted on
good authority that q member of the
Cabinet stated yesterday that he OK
pccted the nomination of Mr.. Depew to
be sent to the Senate next Wednesday,
but subsequently this statement was de-
MED.
The disbursements so far this month
on account ofpensions aggregate nearly
$1,000 600.
Much has been printed and said of
late in the nature of gossip respecting
the intentions of Senator Hill, and
among other things it has been stated
that some of his friends have been
charged to Withdraw his name from the
contest for the democratic presidential
nomination. 1t can be stated rs q fact
that Senator Hill has not withdrawn
and does not propose TO withdraw. He
may be beaten, but will never surrend-
er. He will fight it out to the end.
Secretary Foster recommends such
legislation concerning treasury notes
issued in purchasing silver bullion as
will put these on a par with other
treasury notes.
1t is still thought that there is little
chance for the anti-option bill be-
coming a law.
Since the war four Presidents only
have received the notification of their
renomination-Mr. Lincoln, in 1864;
General Grant, in 1872, and Mr.. Cleve-
land, sixteen years later. The quartet
was completed yesterday by the add
dition of President Harrison's name to
the list.
Some of the hotelkecpers in this city
say they are having great trouble about
help. The educated walters are leav-
ing for the summer resorts and the
controllers have to be employed and
discharged daily.
1t is believed here that Congressman
Jones, OF the 1st Virginia district, and
Meredith, of the Sth, will be renomi-
mated by reclamation. In the LIST dis
trict w. c, Mayo, of Westmoreland,
Mcdonald, Of Northumberland, Spady,
of Northampton, and Bayly.sBrowne,
of Accomac, are all mentioned. The
friends of Judge Taylor, of Gloucester,
also regard him as available.
