james River In provsmrnt. /.

The committee on james River Improve
ment held a secret session at the rooms OF
the Chamber of Commerce at noon yester-
day. Nothing could be learned afterwards
as 10 the result of the proceedings, but IL
is thought that the committee considered
the advissbility of asking the Council for
an additional appropriation.
Some time ago the funds at the disposal
of the COMMITTEES became exhausted aud
ali work in the harbor had TO be stopped.
The committee applied to the Council for
an appropriation of $4,000 TO take up the
work again, but the request was refused
upon the recommendation of the Finance
Committee. IL is hoped now that since
issuing of 100000 Of six per cent. city
bonds has been ordered. a renewal OF the
request would meet with better success.

ton Notes
From our Regular Correspondent

tffOh Out neEuiak NOrfcSpouucueI
WASHINGTON. August 25.-The event at
the Capitol to-day WAS the financial speech
of Senator Hill, Of New York. and many of
the members Of the House were congres-
gated in the Senate chamber to listen to
what he had to say, including Messrs.
O'Ferrall. Wise. Edmunds. Swanson. Epes
and Tucker of the.yirginia delegation. aud
Messrs. Alexander and Crawford. of North
Carolina.
REPEAL BILL OUTLOOK.
The prevailing opinion here is that the
House will vote TO unconditionally repeal
the Sherman law when the test is finally
made.
The canvass made of the Senate shows
that small majority in the body proba-
bly, favor unconditional repeal. but
the prevailing opinion Is that II on the
preliminary test votes this fact should be
disclosed, the fight will be long and
stubborn one, and the silver men are un-
derstood TO bo determined 70 resort I'd
every means within the loose rules TO
staye of final action.
CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
The House Committee on Elections, Of
which Col. O'Ferrall IA chairman, met TO.
dsv and organized. A subcommittee was
appointed. of which Cod. 0Ferrall IS also
chairman, to arrange the docket OF cases.
One of the most important cases is that or
Williams VS.. Settle, from North Carolina.
and il will probably be one OF the first
heard. There is one Virginia case-that OF
