| WASHINGTON, June 30.-A Join
resolution of both Houses of Congress
providing for the necessary expendi
lures Of the government has beer
| signed by the President. This wa
| rendered necessary because of the be
ginning Of the fiscal year, July 1st anC
the fact that no appropriation bill
has yet passed the Senate.
The tri-weekly public receptions at
the White House have been discon
tinued. The reason of this is that
there are very few strangers in the
city during the hot season who desire
to see the Chief Executive.
Since the assassination of President
have become more careful Yester-
day when he went out for his after
noon drive, he was followed by two
detectives heavily armed in buggy.
These officials were dressed as citizens
Of course, but they kept about two
hundred yards behind the Presidents
carriage.
am very sorry to say that Mrs.
Senator Jarvis continues to be quite
sick. She has something like heart
disease but DR.. Johnson thinks he can
restore her to health in short time
If she is kept quiet and is prudent.
The proposition to tax all incomes
passed the Senate by seventeen ma
jority. The tariff bill which was re-
ported will pass the Senate next week
perhaps by Wednesday or Thursday.
Then it goes back to the House where
1T is devoutly to be hoped the discus
sion will be brief.
Rev. Mr.. Bittenger, Rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd was in
Washington this week, on his way
North to see some wealthy friends ia
the interest of his parish. He re-
celved number of courtesies at the
hands of General VIM Il. Cox, the

| heard good joke on Josephus
Daniels which no one enjoys more
than Hon. Hoke Smith. Some one
asked Mr.. Daniels in Mr., Suith's
presence, why he did not make a
speech at the recent Chapel Hill
commencement. Mr.. Daniels said:
thing these hard times and | was
afraid of making Mr.. Smith jealous
Suppose | had spoken and had made a
better speech. | was unwilling to
take the risk" Mr.. Smith laughed
heartily at Mr.. Daniels excuse.
There is much favorable comment
on the fact that $25, 900, 900 in pensions
also have been saved during Mr..
Smiths administration of the Interior
Department. Part of the credit of
this L am sure belongs to Mr.. Daniels
who is Hon. HOke Smiths right hand
man, and who has as much executive
ability as any one | have eyer met
Mr.. Walter r. Henry has given up
all hopes OF securing a consular APP
pofntment but i understand the Presi-
dent has promised Senator Ransom to
find another place for him in another
department.
The appointment of Mr.. VIM. Myers
Little, of Charlotte, to be Consul at
Tegucigalpa, Honduras was secured by
Senator Jarvis. Mr.. Little is the son
of Mr.. S. +. Little, of LIttles Mills,
Montgomery county, n. c., and has L
large family connection throughout
the State. Senator Jarvis is very
determined and persistent man, very
loyal to his friends, sincere, able, and
reliable. Every day here adds to his
prestige and influence. His speech on
the tariff continues to be compliment
ed. 1t was short, but pointed and
strong.
