WASHINGTON, June THE officers Of
the Society of the Army of the Cumber-
land here have been engaged for six
months, and with great success, upon a

post office addresses and occupations of
the survivors of that army. The object
is to print a roll of honor.
The historian Colonel g. Nifiin has
already secured the address Of 112 600
survivors When the work was planned
it was not believed that the number
would exceed $4,000. II will probably
reach 10000. These figures do not in
clude those who served in the Twenty
third corps with the Army Of the Cum
berland.
The infantry regiments in the latter
army numbered 242, the cavalry regi-
ments forty-seven and the batteries
forty seven.

one could go in there and be hidden with
the door completely shut. He described
it by saying a man went in and he shut
the door on him. There was no difficulty
in closing the door.
While the man was in there the door
was left a ar and the man in the closet
could not be seen by witness. Wit
ness was eight or ten feet from the closet
door at the time and about the same

before he had time to verify whether he
could see him or not he moved to the
door of the closet and then he did see
him.
Witness had made experiments as to
what could be seen of objects on the
floor of the guest room from the stairs.
His assistant had lain down on the floor
between the bureau and the bed; then
he (witness) went down stairs and came
up in the ordinary way. Said witness:
Il saw the man stretched on the
floor from the stairs and the point from
which l first saw him was the centre OF
one of the stairs which brought my eye
just on the level with the floor A short
distance above he could net see him.

to Prevent Irish Legislators From Deal
ing with the Question OF Immigration
and the Right TO ENpel Aliens From the
Country.

financial secretary to the war office in
Lord Salisbury's recent administration,

rights of aliens, and from exercising the
right to expel aliens from the country.
Irish Legislatures Power Limited.
The debate ELECTED curious diversity
of opinion and the government finally
accepted the amendment Irish Chief
Secretary Morley suggesting that IL
could be met by inserting the word
aliens" after "alienage' in sub section
six of clause three, which would then as
amended, provide that the Irish Legis-
lature should not have power to make
laws respecting treason, treason felony,
alienage, aliens or naturalization.
Earnest Protest Against the Amendment.
st. John Brodrick assented to Mr..
Morley's suggestion, whereupon Timothy
Healy, Nationalist NJ p. for North
Louth, earnestly protested against the
amendment. Mr.. Healy said that these
petty amendments wasted time: that
the government to some extent connived
shat the proposed amendment If adopted
might result in causing great trouble
and embarrassment TO the Irish Govern
ment. For instance, the workhouse at
Cork was constantly charged with pau.
per aliens from America With the
amendment about aliens adopted, the
Irish Government could take no steps to
abate the evil.
