WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

At last n real, genuine, bo-
M 6de White House babyl
No wonder her arrival in
Washington on Saturday af-
ternoon, created a sensation,
causing Congress and it's do
lhgs for the time forgotten or
Ignored. 1t was nm historic
event that will be read OF
with interest by yet unbol n
generations, as the age at
which most men become Pres
ident makes it improbable
thatit will become a frequent
occurrence. This is the first
in the history of the White
House, although there have
been three other births in the
White House, two OF them
grandchildren OF President
Tyler-both now living in
Washington-and the other
to the wife ofCol. Fred Grant.
Mother and daughter are In
good condition and both do.
ing well, and although Presi-
dent Cleveland is attending
to business as usualit is prob
able that his thoughts often
involuntarily wander to his
wife and baby, however i'm
portant the other matters
may be which he has under
consideration. II he Cleve-
lands have had two very un.
usual hOnors in connection
with the White H ouse. No
other President hnsever mar
ried in the White House and
no other Presidents wife ev-
,ar gave birth to a child inthe
White HOUSE. Long life and
great happiness to Ruth's
sister, the White House ba-
by!'
There is to be no con- pro-
mise inathe Senatorial fight
over silver. T. is to be fought
to a fiE.ish, President Cleve-
land having declared that he
would arcept nothing but the
repea Il Of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver
law without condition. This
is a great disappointment to
those VIII, have hoped that
some satisfactory arrange
ment would be made t h II t
would get the solid support
of the democratic Senators
and bring the rank anil file
Of the party closer together
than they have been since the
cxtra session met. The end
OF the debate is not vet in
sight, although some Spna.
tois believe that a vote can
bereached in two weeks. That
IL the doubtful thing. The
vote is no longer doubtful.
When il is taken the Vorhees
bill will he passed, but when
that will bedepends upon the
pndurance and disposition OF
the Senator's opposed to it.
A very important step was
taken by PresidentCle Cleveland
when. after a full discussion
OF the matter by the cabinet,
he decided that thls Govern
ment should proceed, with.
out waiting for Congress- to
take further action, to rigid
lly enforce the Geary anti-Chi-
reese law. This step would
have been taken before, but
il wss deemed advisable, un-
der the circumstances, to
wait a reasonable time tOsee

Hopeful Signs.


the encouraging news that
the manufacturing establish
ments are again resliming op
erltions, after a brief season
of suspension. Some Of them
to be sure, are only running
on half time, but the reports
Of the reopening of mills and
factories have, for the ! a s t
week, outnumbered the top
pages Of work.
Though the news of the re-
opening of banks iseood, the
number is not equal to that
of the mills and manufactu-
ring establishments Of t h g
nation that have again COM
mehced operations.
There has been much rash
Misrepresentation to the ef-
feet Of the panic upon t h e
country. Its disastrous ef-
feet was overestimated. E.
ven in good years, when no
disaster is apprehended, mills
and factories are often closed
for Il time, either for repairs
or because the III 0rket is over
stocked or forOther sufficient
reasons. But this year a |
these suspensions have been
ignoraDtly attributed to the
extraordinary condition Of
affairs prevailing in the f.
nnnrial world. 1t is by these
Exaggerated reports I h Il t
the actual panic has bee II
made much worse than it
otherwise would have been.
One would Judge from read
inga Republican or Third
party paper if he had no oth-
er information on the sub
ject, that such a thing as
stopping a factory, mill or
IN in e was something i'm
known before this summer.
But the people know better
as do, also, the editors who
thus seek to crea te distrust
and dissa tisfaction.
That many banks, business
houses and factories have fail
ed or been temporarily inter-
rnpted ON account of t h e
stringency in the money mar
ket, is true. But the curfen-
cy famine cannot last foTev-
er. The panic will pass. is
now passing. 1t is time to
stop croaking. No currency
is being destroyed. The ag-
grpgate is increasing every
day. What Congress does
will be the result of the de-
liberations of the combined
and representative wisdom
OF the nation. That which is
hid and unprodHctive will.
when stability Of value Is re-
stored, reappear again. The
Indications are favorable for
the return of prosperity. The
prophets Of evil will prove to
be false prophets. Capitalists
and manufacturers will not
always keep their money fas-
tened zip in order to help pol
iticians make Il point. OF
course Congress can do d
great deal to hasten this day
and it must do it. The admin
istration is one wh hose every
declaration and every act has
been for the people, the poor
people OF the land; and they
realize 1t. sls was proved by
the overwhelming majority
by which thev placed the dem

is one of the most popular young
men of Alexandria, and an acknowl-
edged progressive, industrial, and
conservative business man.
The subject of this pen sketch,
with accompanying portrait is a
native of Richmond. He has, how
ever, been resident of Alexandria
for nine years, and has become iden-
tilted with every interest for the adj
vancement of his adopted home.
He was one of the pioneers of the
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. When in boyhood
he attended school at st. Peters
Cathedral school, on Marshall street,
in Richmond, one of the best institu-
tons of learning in the State Of Viz
ginia, and was in the academical
class when he left that institution to
engage in business pursuits.
Mr.. Sullivan is collector Of the
Royal Arcanum Council, No. 627.
He is also member of the Young
Mems Lyceum, as well as being the
able and efficient manager of the
Alexandria Telephone Exchange.
The growth of the exchange has
been phenomena under his manage
ment, and has also been a conserva-
tive one.

came here in 1856 from Massachus-
etts, and at once engaged III the
general shipping and commission
business, with the firm of NJ. Ed
ridge & Co. The firm dissolved IN
1870, and Mr.. Reed became the sue
cessor, and added to it the ice bust
ness.
He has represented from that time
the principal lines OF river and water
transportation.
he was for twenty-five years agent
for VIM p, Clyde x Co, one Of the
largest steamboat coastwise com
panies in the world He has also
represented the Island and Seaboard

Railway Company, and the Land and
River Improvement Company, of
New Alexandria. He is now officially
the yicepresident of the former and
the treasurer of the latter
He is a member of both the Alex
andria and Washington Boards of
Trade. In 1889 the Alexandria
Board of Trade was organized, and
has executed efficient work in pro-
noting the material interests of the
city. He is also vice-president Of
the State Board of Trade of the
State of Virginia. Since its organ
ization Mr.. Reed has been President
of the Alexandria Board of Trade
Mr. Reed was one of the members
of the original board of the Columbia
Exposition at Chicago; although he
was previous advocate for the loca-
ton of the Fair at Washington.
He is also a member of the board
of the Mount Vernon Avenue Asso-
citation. He was quite prominent in
all the measures of that association
which was taken to secure from the
State of Virginia proper charter,
and the necessary legislation to carry
the same into effect. This project
has so far failed of accomplishment,
by the failure of the Congress OF the
United States to rise to realization
of the patriotic conceptions of the
promoters of this magnificent histor-
ical and memorial enterprise. Mr..
Reed is always interested in every

and all plans that tend to promote
and intensity the interests of Alex
andria.
He was a member of the city
council and chairman Of the com
mittee of claims under military APP
pointment during the reconstruction
period.
Mr.. Reed was made mason in
1865. He has served as High Priest
of Mount Vernon Royal Arch Chap
ter, and for three years as Master of
Andrew jackson Lodge No. 1904.
He organized the Commandery of
Knight Templars No II, and was its
Eminent Commander for seven CON
secutive years, and in 1886 was
elected Grand Commander of the
State of Virginia, occupying this pc
sition for two terms.
He is at present an officer in the
line of promotion in both the Grand
Lodge of Masons of Virginia, and
the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of
Virginia.
Mr.. Reed is the senior member OF
the firm of
f. A. REED 4 CO.,
whose office is on The Stand, between
King and Prince.
This firm has Il large local trade III
ice and make shipments Ill car load
lots as far south as Winston, n. G.
This company is recognized as one
of the largest dealers OF ice in the
State.
Mr.. Reeds partner is William NJ.
Readon, who was admitted to the
firm in 1882.
For several years, between 1880
and 1890 this firm did a very large
business with the West Indies, in
the shipment of large amounts of
sugar cooperage. This enterprise
was pursued successfully until the
English bag was substituted for the
wooden packages, previously used
for the shipment of sugar. On the
decline of this business Mr.. Reed
gave more attention to the material
development OF his adopted city, and
became a factor in many of the en-
terprises which have led to the
advanced position which Alexandria
occupies to-day.
The firm represents as agents the
Baltimore steamboat line, consisting
of the Lady of the Lake, and Sue,
making tri-weekly trips to Baltimore,
and the steamer Harry Randall,
making tri-weekly trips down the
Potomac river.
In the near future, probably with
in the next sixty days there will be
established a line of steamers, run
ming direct between Washington,
Alexandria and Philadelphia, taking
the inside route up the Chesapeake
Bay, and through the Chesapeake
and Delaware canal. The Delaware
river will form route wholly inland,
thereby reducing the liability of
marine accidents to the minimum
For this line f. A. Reed & Co. will
be general agents, and F. A. Reed,
of the firm will be the general
manager for Washington and Alex
andria. This is to be freight line
exclusively.

Notice to Holders of Cheap Ex-
cursion Tickets.
CHICAGO. Oct. IL. - The Western
Passenger association today authorized
the Western lines to allow all holders
of cheap excursion tickets to ride in all
cars and on all trains. The rates au-
thOriZed today are not applicable from
association territory west of Colorado
common points. A one-way rate of 50
between Colorado and Missouri river
comm on points and one of $40 between
lower Missouri river points and Trini-
dad were authorized. These rates are
applicable in both directions and are
Chicogo day rates are in existence.
The troubles between the associa-
ton and the Union Pacific were
then taken up. and although not
much progress was made toward the
consideration of the total number of de-
| mandS made by that time, it is at pres
cut probable that it will remain in the
association. Its principal grievance
was acted upon, however. in manner
which will undoubtedly sooth its
troubled spirit. This action was the
passage of a resolution providing that

basing purposes, it shall be the chair
mans duty to immediately submit the
matter fol- settlement; and, If this set
tlement is not accomplished, and men,
Der of the association can take individual
action, with the understanding that the
through rates so constructed shall be a
| regular authorized basis and apply via
authorized routes. This privilege, how
ever. does not allow any line to make a
cut rate it may elect, and then
tender it for basing purposes. A
committee from the association held a
conference with Mr.. LomaX, general
passenger agent of the Union Pacific,
but nothing definite was arranged. The
resolution, however, meets the demand
by the Union Pacific i'll relation to the
matter of basing on cut rates. The bal
ance of the demands made by that line
for changes in association methods will
be considered tomorrow.
The Central Traffic lines met today,
and took no action whatever on worlds
fair rates, or rates to the midWinter fair
II California. Complaint was lodged
against the Nickel Plate for applying
the coach excursion rates upon its regu-
lar trains. No action was taken, how
ever,
