WAsnINeToE, March "a Another one
OF the cases whore the Secretary of the
Navy had filled vacancy in the list of
cadets in the Naval Academy was called
to the attention of the House by Mad.
dox (Dem., Ga.) He asked unanimous
resolution declaring a vacancy in the
Seventh district of Georgia. which is
now represented by cadet appointed
by Secretary Tracey, residing in the
District of Columbia
Hopkins (Rep, Ill said that the gen-
tleman from Georgia was no worse off
than several other members, and as it
was apparent that no remedy for the
present condition of affairs could be had
except by general law, and that as long
as this special legislation was kept up
no general bill would DO enacted, he
felt constrained to object.
The House then went into committee
of the whole, Hatch in the chair, upon
the postal appropriation bill for the
year ending June 80. 1895.
Henderson (Dem., N. c made a brief
statement of the contents OF the bill.
1t carried, he said, total appropria ton
OF Ss7, 470,6OO, or 49, 1875. 500 less than
the estimates OF the Department.. 1t
included an item OF Sl96, GA for "Neces-
sary and special features on trunk lines"
which the Department did not recon-
mend.

this bill by an appropriati. IN in bulk.
An agreement was reached to close
genera debate on the bill, except as to
Vhe Item which Kyle sought to strike
out and the bill was taken under the
five minute rule for amendment.
The amendment was discussed for
two hours or more with view of pre-
scnting the relative advantages Of free
rural delivery and Of add tional post.
Offices and expedited star route service.
Northwestern members generally said
their people wanted more officers,
Southern mem bers generally advocated
the free rural delivery.
Cockrell (Dem, Texas), was one of
the exceptions. He said that he had no
objection to the amendment, provided
the money was not expended in his dis
trict. To do so, he said, would deprive
our people of one Of tho greatest enjoy
rnents of life-that of gathering to-
gether Saturday evenings at their re-
spective postofilces and discussing poll
tics and other public matters, and ex-
changing the gossip of the neighbor-
hood.
Picker (Rep s. D J, moved another
amendment requiring the postma ster

such extension.
This was agreed to and Moses amend.

OLD TIME BUENA VISTA SPIRIT.
1t Has Not Been 0uenched by the Long
Panic and Dali Times.

BUENA VISTA, March 24.-The city
has been given somewhat to fires for
several days past, the last confagra-
being the old pulp mill just above the
city on one of the old canal dams
The mill had not been in operation for
some time, for the reason that it's pro-
duct ground wood was not required in
the new mills of the Columbian Paper
Company, which manufactures a finer
quality of paper and pulp. Nothing is
know OF the origin of the fire beyond a
conjecture that tramp or a careless
fisherman is responsible for it, The
machinery, Of which there was a con-
siderable quantity, was all precipi-
tated to the bottom of tho canal lock
on which the mill stood.
The long panic and dull times have
not quonched the old time Buena Vista
spirit which has again broken out in
the organization of now industries.
This time it is the Virginia Clothing
Company, with 3 minimum capital of
$1,000 and maximum of 100000 1t
was chartered this week with the fol
lowing officers: Pre- sident, David r.
Miller; vice president. W. w. Baldwin,;
secretary and treasurer, r. Il. Hill di
rectors, b Digger and e Il. Gilbert.
When in full operation it will work
about twenty i've hands, and for it's
principal line will manufacture uni.
forms from the excellent cloth now
being turned out by tho Buena Vista
Cashmere Mills. This latter industry
is now running night and day on it's
large Government orders.
The settlement OF veXed question
between the city and tho county was
one of the events Of this week, impor
tant to Buena Vista in that it saves to
the city several thousand dollars which
tho county claimed to DO tho ci.y's
share OF the old Baltimore and Ohio
debt. The demands of the county were
very large, but, finding an inexorable
determination upon tho city's part not
to pay their debts for them, the county
rulers at last agreed to abate so per
cent

however, has a very firm hold on the

WILL CLEVELAND VETO The BILL?
A Close Friend Intimated as
Much After an Interview
The SeiEniorage Measure VIII Probably
Have to Wait Several Days Yet for
Action of the President-He is Con.
sidering the Effect tho Bill Will Have
Very Carefully.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-About the
Capitol the impression is deepening
that President Cleveland will veto the
seigniorage bill. A gentleman who
shares Mr.. Cleveland's confidence to a
largo degree, and who himself is a
sturdy opponent of the bill, stated this
afternoon that there was no doubs of
the Presidents action in the matter
This gentleman saw the President
early in the day. Mr.. Cleveland gave
no intimation of what his purposes were
but he said he was considering the bill
calmly and dispassionately nd without
regard to any other consideration except
its effect upon the country. II that ef-
feet would be good, in his Judgment, he
would sign it. If it would be- injurious.
he would veto il.
Tho Presidents visitors stated that
Cleveland was showing tho effec, OF the
terrible pressure which had been
brought to bear upon him for and
against the bill He looked years older
than he did when he returned from his
hunting trip fe " weeks ago
Moro Than dozen members Of Con-
gress called upon him to-day and urged
him to sign the bill. They were all
the number, it is reported, took it upon
himsel. - read the President 2 lecture
regarding his disposition of the bill and
the effect of veto in the South.
mis- gentle man stated that under
these circumstances it would be impos-
slble to elect Democrat from the State
he represented, and that Populists and
Republicans would be substituted in
the next House for the present Demo
cratic delegation.
The President is said to have been
visibly annoyed at this partisan appeal,
and expressed himself in sharp terms in
reply, stating in effect that the subject
was one which required consideration
from higher standpoint than that of
political eXpediency.
From whae tho President is quoted as
saying to-day, it is obvious that he will
avail himself of the full limit afforded
him in which to dispose OF the bill.
Whether he signs o. vetoes 1t. his &C
tioa will not be taken, in all proba-
bility, before Thursday OF nsxt week
at ono time hfteon frinnis OF the
seigniorage bill were ranged about the
President, earnestly pleading with him.
Representatives Tucker and Wise, of
Virginia Senator, Mr.. Hunton, to urge
the President to sign the bill.
The important criticism advanced by
Mr.. Cleveland was that the phraseology
OF tho bill was defective in the judg-
ment OF eminent legal authorities. They
pointed out that the wording of the Sec
zion directing tho coinage Of the seign.
forage was such that while it seemed to
authorize S55 900, 600 it was open to the
constructio that the amount should be
SllO, 100000. While Notwithstanding
that the defect was fatal, the President
seemed to regard it as serious matter
in such measure.

to room in the Fidelity building, on
Salem avenue, to wait for the midnight
train.
About IL O'Clock G. T.. Sontag and j.
Jeffries, belonging to the company,

parture by binding their wraps. After
the women had descended the stairs

ARGUMENTS ON THE EVIDENCE.
Important Testimony in the Pol
Iard-Breckinridge Case.
Judge bradley VIII Decide Tomorrow
as to Its Admission Into the Trial.
Dispositions From Aleck Julian, w. w.
Resell and DIR. Lewis-Their Evidence
Objected to by Miss Poilard's Counsel.

WASHINGTON March "a Last Thurs
day in the trial of the Pollard Breck-
inridge case objection was made by
counsel for Miss Pollard to evidence
contained in dispositions presented by
the defense concerning Miss Pollard q
age; conversation regarding her had
with James c. Rhodes, her deceased
lover, and with reference to or ability
to resist improper advances from men.
Some of the objections were sustained
and the evidence ruled out to which ex-
ception was taken by the defense. In
other instances Judge Bradley decided
to postpone the reading OF certain objec-
tionablo passages in the dispositions
until he could ex amino into tho IN tie r
and accordingly it was agreed that he
should hear argument on tho admission
or exclusion Of the disputed evidence
this morning at III o'clock.
Shortly after the appointed hour the
arguments began, but behind closed
doors Only Colonel breckenridge and
his attorneys and tho counsel for Miss
Pollard were present. The most inter
estlng points argued were in reference
to admitting the depositions OF Aleck
Julian, w. W. Resell and DR.. Lewis.
Julian ts the man referred 20 by Miss
Pollard as MY blind swee theart-my
modern Barnabas," who deposed that
one Christmas day, whilo at the house
of Squire Tinsley, Miss Pollard, after
drinking too much eggnogg, went
through the form of mock marriage
with Julian, and then proposed that
they carry out the marital relations.
The testimony Of DR.. LOWS was that
Col. A. w. Swope, who WAS killed in a
street duel in Lexington by Cassius
Clay Goodloe somo years ago, had 70
questcd him to perform an operation on
Miss Pollard, with whom he said he
had become involved DR.. Lewis re
fused to take the case. He testified
that he did not know whether tho Miss
Pollard mentioned was Madeline Pol
lard or some other Miss Pollard.
w. w. Rosell ic tho man who was
engaged to Miss Pollard in Cincinnati
at the time, according to her own i'd
mission. whom she was under contract
to marry James Rhodes or pay him
the money he advanced her.
Resell deposed that he had been init.
mate with Miss Pollard at Wesleyan
College, and that when he Was about
leaving Cincinnati for trip to Chicago,
she begged him to take her along with
him.
All the testimony is objected to by
Miss Pollard's counsel; Julian's on the
ground that 1t concerned time prior to
Miss Pollard's meeting with Colonel
breckenridge; DR. Lewis because he
could not specify any particular Miss
Pollard as the one about whom he al
leges Colonel Swope spoke to him, and
Rosell's affecting the com potency of
evidence offered covering period sub
sequent to the alleged betrayal by Col.
onel Breckenridge.
Judge Bradley reserved his decision,
saying he would render it when the case
was called Monday.
