Perhaps Another Major.

The new army regulations provide for
three battalions and conseq uently three
majors in every regiment. Accordingly
the militia in several of the states are re-
arranging their regiments and battalions
and electing the third major. Oregon is
the last to do it and in several regiments
elections have been called to select new
major. As yet the regular army has not
paid any attention to the order as congress
has not yet passed the act making the
necessary provisions to enable it to become
operative. Among the officers of the First
regiment. N. G. W., the matter is being
discussed and there is a possibility of
brigade headquarters taking it up and o.
dering the recasting of the battalions &C
cordingly. At present the First has but
one major. Ii three battaiions were to be
formed the Seattle companies and the ones
located in towns to the north would pos
siby form the first, with the major to be
elected from Port Townsend or Whatcom.
Tacoma and Olympia would form the Sec
ond and the companies south would form
the third.

greatly pleased with the proficiency in
drill and improvement shown by all the
companies. The feature of mock dress
parade following the drill proved very ac-
ceptable and served to amuse both the
crowd and the militiamen themselves.
Next to the drill the organization of q
Zouave company was the most important
event Of the week. 1t is we'll differed by
young men who are enthusiastic soldiers

All three companies turned out to bat
talon drill Wednesday night with we'll
filled ranks, and went through the move
ments with remarkable precision. Perhaps
it was the inspiration Of the unusually
large Grove, perhaps it was the result of
hard drill and perhaps it was several other
things, but whatever the cause the boys
acquitted themselves exceedingly well.
The field music consisted of four bugles,
although the band was also present in
line, and discoursed excellent music dur
ing the drill and after.
The hit of the evening was the mock
dress parade. of which Casey Moran,
officially known as Corporal B. II. Moran,
company, was the moving spirit. Pete
johnson, of B company, was colonel;
Casey" was adjutant; Sergt. Keywood,
of E. was sergeant major, and Private
Dittenmore, Private Gaffany ana Sergt.
Moss commanded r. d and B companies
respectively. The costumes were many
and varied. There was everything from
a crinoline to Dutch comedians make
up in line. Nearly eighty men took part,
and every one had different costume.
Col" Johnson put the men through
some astonishing evolutions, and then
they lined up for dress parade. Casey"
took his place and read general orders that
would have made Headquarters" rise up
in horror had they heard them. Leaves
of absence and pensions were granted pro-
fusely in them.
Then came the appearance of the bat
terry. Casey" was just going to make
speech, announcing their entry, but some
one gave the signal too soon, the bugle
blew "to arms, and from the rear room
the battery burst forth in all its glory.
In the bursting it nearly ran over an un-
wary company man, but that did not
mar the general appearance.
The battery consisted of a section of ten
inch water pipe mounted upon pair of
wheels and drawn by a squad of men.
Brinker. of ID company, was in command;
Alexander, of d, was first sergeant; Neise,
of E, was gunner; Hunter. of B, was
powder monkey, and Low, of B, was swab-
Der. The battery came down the hall on
the run, swung into action and discharged
the piece twice. The discharging was done
by means of rifle concealed in the barrel.
Then, and then only, did "Casey" get a
chance to make his speech. After that
the battery went through drill.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Members Refuse to He bound by 9
Party Caucua.

The democrats who are seeking a caucus
on the tariff bill find that large number
OF members of the House who agree to go
INTO the caucus refuse to be bound by it.
and 1t Is evident that if it is held it will be
nothing more than a conference for an ex-
change of views. Thus far those who are
trying TO organize an opposition to the bill
nave not been successful in getting enough
members TO agree to take the extreme posi-
tlon or voting against the measure if it Is
not satisfactorily amended. They believe,
however, that when members return from
tneir homes after the holiday recess the
opposition TO the bill will be stronger and
more-~ideiy spread. Some OF the members
represent constituencies which are very
seriously affected by the bill and after
having been among them it is expected
that they Will return with a determination
either 10 change or defeat the measure.
II seems vain. however, to expect the op-
position IN the House TO be successful
IN the Senate, however the situation is
different and very great difficulty in pass
ing any tariff bill is expected. 1t has been
heretofore announced that the populists in
the Senate would vote for the hill but If
Is authoritatively stated that Messrs- Pef-
fer. Stewart and Jones and prohabl Alien
and lrby will oppose the measure The
first three propose to use every means in
their power TO defeat it. Morgan and Pueb

the iron schedule and Murphy and NcPpsr
son are counted among the opponents OF III
measure. The contemplation of this oitna
tion IN the senate is embarrassing 10 ~

GEN. SICKLEy TWO SALARIES,
The QuestfOn Vow Being Considered
by the Controller.

Second Controller Mansur of the treasury
has begun the consideration of the case Of
Gen. Daniel f. Sickles, member Of Congress
from New York. Gen. Sickles draws two
salaries-one as member OF Congress from
the tenth district of New York and one as
major general on the retired list Of the
United States army. Paymaster General
Smith OF the War Department, TO whom the
matter was first referred, declined to dis
allow Gen. Sickles' pay as major general,
and with simple statement OF the facts In
the case. sent the case to Secretary Lamont.
He referred the case to Attorney General
Olney. In an official opinion, in which no
decision was reached, the case was returned
to the Secretary OF War;
Gen. Sfckles had an extended interview
with Second Controller Mansur today on his
case. Mr.. Mansurs decision will be con-
elusive. as the law empowers the second
controller with the final settlement Of army
officers accounts.
The questions involved are very import
ant, including. as they do. the eligibility of
Gen. Sickles to a seat in the House of Rep
resentatives and inferentially approving o.
disapproving the action of a co-ordinate
branch OF the government by a subordin a te
omcer or the government. The pay of a
member OF Congress is 5000 a year and
tnat or major general on the retired LIST
$5,625 year for life
IL is asserted that II Gen Sickles Is cor,-
PEELED to make a choice, he will resign from
Congress rather than give up the honor he
so dearly prizes.

FREEDMAN'S Trust COMPANY,

Considerable Cash Balance.

SOn81ucfaDIe CaSh balance.
The annual report Of Mr.. James H. Eckels,
controller of the currency and ex-officio
commissioner of the Freedman's Saving and
Trust Company. which was submitted to
Congress on December 0, shows a cash bal
ance on hand of $33. 7O7.43, including ST.
SSl.57 collected during the year. Five claims
were presented and paid since the commits
sioner's last report, amounting to S47 735,
making total Of 1,O34 claims paid under
the act of February II, 1888. aggregating
slO.6lo52, leaving 1877 claims unpaid, call
ing for s6.S64.5S. OF barred claims eight
were presented during the year. making 234
claims filed since May II, 1885, calling for
S,94l.JO payment of which Is barred under
the act of February 81. 1881. The commits
sioner has on hand sufficient funds to cover
the $G,s6i.5s. payable under the act of Feb
uary IL, 1sS5, as well as the pa claims pre-
sented since May II. 1885. amounting to
<3941. 50. and such other claims as are likely
to be presented, should the limitation con-
tained In section 8 Of the act of February
u, 1881. be repealed.
The commissioner recommends the repeal
OF this limitation, and submits with his re-
port the draft of bill for that purpose.
The item of deferred payments on the
Lukins plantation lots in South Carolina
heretofore reported an available asset,
amounting to $2So.So, will not hereafter be
reported as such. These lots are located on
one of the Sea Islands in South Carolina,
and were sold to colored people on partial
payments. The destruction wrought on
these islands by the recent cyclone in that
region has made it impossible for these peo-
pie to make their payments. and as eject
ment proceedings would involve expendi-
lures equal to If not greater than the value
of the delinquents' lots 1t is not thought ad-
visable to institute such proceedings Tie
commissioner estimates the remaining avail
able assets at about $4,000. There are over
5000 of checks issued by the several COM
missioners which have never been presented
for payment.

FURLOUGHING EMPLOYEES.
From Necessity Many Are Laid on
Temporarily ut the Printing ONCE.

Several large divisions in the government
printing office have been furloughed from
day to day during this week. The reason
for this is that the rush Of department
work, which always comes in the fall of
the year. is over, and Congress is not max
ing as much work as usual In fact not
enough to keep the Record and night bill
forces-which are what may be termed con-
gressonal forces-busy. Those forces fill
out their eight hours day by taking out"
on department work. The entire Office has
been rushed for several months, and the re-
suit is that current work was never before
SO well up to date as it is now The public
printer must keep force large enough to
be prepared at all times for the Maximum
amount of work, for when the maximum
Is reached he has no discretion but TO dis
charge or furlough the employees Owing to
the exceeding dullness of the times and the
utter impossibility of men finding employ
ment on the outside he is 10th to make
discharges. but prefers to furlough on the
principle that half or two-thirds Of a loaf
Will be better for the employees than no
bread. Hence he will pursue that policy
when necessary, distributing the furloughs
as eauitably as possible among the en-
ployes.
