The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company of Massachusetts left WASH
inpton this morning at ten o'clock on a
special Blue Line train for nome. as
they marched down to the avenue,
headed by their band on the way to the
station, they presented an attractive
an~nearance: nevertheless, their depict
ed ranks suggested that Washington
Inequalities had been too much for
them and that they had met their
Balaclaya. 1t was mot the six hum
dred.n nor anything like the original
number of hundreds who marched up
the avenue, that marched back.
Captain Howgate is expected here
this evening. He left New York for
Washington by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad at IL O'Clock this morning, in
charge of ex-Chief of Detectives Drum
mond.
Ex-State Senator Callahan, of the
Norfolk district, Virginia, who arrived
here this morning from Norfolk, says
it is generally conceded there that Con-
gresham Tyler will be reelected. He
saws it can hardly be otherwise, as the
chief strength of the republicans in that
district lies with the negroes, as the re-
publicans there have no money for
campaign purposes, and as nothing can
be done with negroes without money.
Argument on the application of the
Miles Planting and Manufacturing
Company for a writ to compel the
Treasury Department to supervise and
inspect its sugar product for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1895, was heard
to-day in the District Supreme Court.
At republican headquarters to-day
nothing is going on. The chairman Of
the campaign committee has gone to
New York, and Mckee, the secretary,
has received no intelligence of interest
to V~irginians. Mr.. Mckee will make
a speech at Winchester for Mr.. Walbet
at the coming republican rally there.
The Columbian relics loaned to this
government for display at the Chicago
Fair by the Pope, the King of Spain,
and the Duke of Tallyrand commenced
their homeward journey this morning,
when they were taken from the State
Department and placed on board the
Norfolk steamer under the supervision
of Mr.. Horace L. Washington, who
represents the government, and a strong
guard of naval marines. They will be
delivered on board the Detroit at the
Norfolk Navy Yard tomorrow. There
were nine boxes, INT of them a mosaic,
which weighed 5000 pounds, and three
others, weighing over 1000 pounds
each, belonging to the Vatican.
Chairman Faulkner of the democratic
congressional campaign committee left
here to-day for New York on party
business. He says Senator Hill will
accept the nomination for Governor of
New York and that there are many
good reasons for believing he will be
elected. Governor Wilson of West Vir-
ginia was at headquarters this morning.
he has been campaigning in Mr.. Alder
sons district in his State, and says that
if the democratic feeling in other parts
of the State be as high as it is there,
the congressional delegation from West
Virginia will be solid, as men, women
and children stand in the rain for hours
at q time without umbrellas, listening
to democratic speakers. Among the
letters received at headquarters to-day
were one from Mr.. Bigger, secretary OF
the Virginia State committee, enquiring
about campaign literature, and one from
| Mr.. G. NJ. Wallace of Falmouth, in
which he says there is q hard fight there,
and that if the repu olicans carry Vir-
ginia next month they will hold her
for years, and that some democrats are
talking q if they really are anxious to
put their heads under the guillotine.
The Virginia democratic association
of this city has sent a circular letter to
| all the democratic candidates for Con-
gress in Virginia telling them if they
will supply the committee with the
names and addresses of the democrats
here entitled TO vote in their respective
districts the committee will look after
them and facilitate them in going home
to vote. The railroad fare for voters
has not yet been definitely settled.
MI. Edgar Allen, formerly of Rich
mond, but now of this city, will make
republican speeches in the LIST Virginia
district during the present campaign.
Judge Goolrick, formerly of Freder-
icksburg, but now of Stafford county,
and therefore a voterin the Sth district:
will make several speeches in that dis
trict in favor of the reelection of Con-
gresham Meredith. A band of music
has been engaged here for the republi-
can meeting to be held in Fredericks-
burg. But Notwithstanding this evil
dence of open fighting, it is said here
the republicans of the 1st district are
making a still hunt, and that the
democrats there are very a%pathetic.
An order has been issued at the War
Department relieving Capt. T. w.
Jones, 10th cavalry, from further duty
with the North Carolina State militia,
and Lieutenant r. G. Baxton, 10th cav
airy, from further duty with the Vir-
GINA militia.
The Treasury Department has added
Ambriz, Cyprus, Portugal, Queensland,
Saba and st. Thomas and Princes Is
land, to the list of ports and countries
which impose a duty on salt, and salt
from these ports and countries are
therefore dutiable when imported into
the United States.
Assistant Postmaster General Max

to-day that up to date no request for a
change of the name of the postofice ct

served with mail there, and that unless
there shall be, no change will be made.
