A Disturbance in the African
WOodDilc

WASHINGTON, AIg. 21.-A formal
request to abolish the Afro-American
bureau of organization of the Democrat
ic congressional committee is made in a
communication addressed today to SEN
iotor Faulkner, chairman of the commit
tee, by ii. G. Z. Astw0od, chairman of
the negro national Democratic league.
Chairman Astwood, in urging immedi-
ate action, says there is nothing to be
accomplished by the bureau; recounts
its assessment letters now under inves-
tigation by the civil service commission.
and characteriZes its methods as i'm
proper. He states that the work of the
league covers all the needs of colored
voters of the country and that, though
approaching the recognition of negro
as the head of bureau of the commit
tee, there is no reason for the existence
OF the bureau. The action is the result
OF instructions given to President G. u.
j. Taylor and Chairman Astwood at the
league convention at Indian apolis.
Senator Faulkner, chairman OF the
Democratic congressional campaign
committee, said today that very good
and sufficient reasons must be produced
before the bureau would be abolished,
but that it had no power to collect COLI
tributions. Senator Faulkner sa i'd:
THE bureau is merely in Its expert
mental stages, and it remains to be seen
whether or not it will be productive of
good results. What we want TO do is to
reach the cOlored voters in the best
| mann er possible, and we will endeavor
to do that according to our best judg-
ment, irrespective Of organizations or
| individuals"
Mr.. Astwood called on Senator Faux
ner and present. d the proceedings of
the Indianapolis convention. deman ding
the abolition Of the Bureau. and the
senator said he would take the matter
Under ADJUSTMENT, but gave Mr.. Asst
wood no encouragement.

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Why Members of the Feathery Tribe Sta
 So short Time in One Place.

Why Members of the Feathery Tribe Stay
 So short Time in One Place.
 There are some birds that depend al- most entirely for their means of sub- sistence upon the light-winged summer flies that love the sunshine These the economy of our cold season does not provide for. The tree-creepers and the tits, insectivorous in their propensities, are content to SC K food in the crevices of bark up and down the branches of old trees, in the cracks of walls, in and out among the stones and bricks of old buildings, peering, probing, pecking at the creatures that have sought to get safely through the cold weather by hiding. Not so our migrant singers
 Many of them, like the swallows, eat only such things as they can catch in their swift flight open-mouthed through the air; these are few and far between in the raw and cold atmosphere of win ter here. Swift and swallow, nightin- gale and cuckoo, warbler, wheatear, whinchat, blackcap, wryneck, fly catcher-all the merry troupe of stroll ing singers, must follow the sun and JilC CICdlulCH IIdI III LIlc Suh- beams to lands that are sunny in winter.
 The movements of the birds that come and of the birds that go in spring and autumn are prompted by the abundance or the scarcity of certain kinds of food among the varied store our land affords. The nomadic wanderings of our resi- dent birds are also foraging expedi- tions. Only in the spring and the early summer are any birds able to find the food they require in one particular neighborhood
 Then insect life abounds, and round about the nesting place enough and to spare is to be found both for the busy parent birds and the unsuitable chicks and squabs. But in the autumn and winter there is, strictly speaking, no such thing as a stationary population of birds in any place. Then all turn gypsies and hither and thither wend their restless way, eluding the famine of frost here, the dearth of a snow storm there, or the buffeting of storm winds, by continually moving on.- Cornhill Magazine

The preponderauce of evidence seems to prove it to have been due to inc accumulation of natural gas in the manner described.

THE RUSSIAN AUToCRAT.
A Problem With Which the Czar Must Bat
 tie Alone.

tie Alone.
 The situation is strange, lurid, and in sense humiliating. Armed Europe waits upon the ultimate mandate of one man. "The heaven for height" says Solomon, 'the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearcha- ble." Czar Alexander III. has two rul- ing emotions-a horror of war and hatred of Germany. The problem is, Which passion in him shall conquer the other? Trammeled by no parlia- ment influenced neither by responsible ministers nor by personal favorites, the big, lonely despot is wrestling out that problem single handed. It is an awful position.
 There is no real public opinion in Russia whose voice might sway the autocrat; he must fight out his own battle with himself Probably no so- lution would better please him indi- vidually than general disarmament, but that is hopeless. We must leave him to his wrestlings with himself; meanwhile, at all events, there is a period of reasonably assured respite. Russia is never quite ready, and the millennium will probably surprise her in her chronic attitude of unreadiness At present she is swapping, not horses, but rifles A year ago there was not a magazine rifle in the Russian army, and the great majority of her soldiers are still armed with the improved "Berdan." very inferior weapon both to the German and the Austrian rife.
 But Russia retains still the warning memory of her fearful losses before Plevna from the rifles which Amer ca placed in the hands of the Turks, and with which her obsolete Krenkes could not cope. After much tedious expert menting, year ago definite selection was made of weapon known as the ''three-line rifle" and the production and issue of this fre-arm are being pushed forward with great energy. But you cannot order in two million and half rifles as you can bundle of toothpicks I believe that about third of the requisite quantity is now delivered
 It is absolutely impossible that the equipment can be completed and the troops trained to the use of the new weapon within the present year; it seems extremely improbable that this result can be attained before the spring of 1896. The opportunity for war-I do not say the certainty of war-will come when Russia shall have com pleted the equipment of her hosts with the 'three-line" rife.

FULL OF YEARS AND HONOR.

The pride which the members OF the Wash
ington Light Infantry Corps feel in the success
full completion OF flfty-eight years Of honora-
BILE life is shared by the whole people of the
District. The famous old organization has
the good wishes of everybody for a grand,
good time at its festivities next Wednesday
night
The old residents of the city remember that
the Light Infantry was the first body of volun-
teer troops TO enter the Union service in the
late war, enlisting five days before President
Lincoln issued his call. Many of that original
band of eighty-four men served throughout
the conflict. The Light Infantry is full Of
years and honor. but is still young in vigor
and has on its roll goodly share of the young
flower of Washington's manhood.
Major Moore has been so closely identified
with the career of the corps that IL is scarcely
necessary to speak Of his unremitting efforts
to bring the drill and discipline up 10 Its
present efficiency Ever since he was elected
captain in 1871 he has had the interests OF the
Light Infantry soldier boys close at heart,
and he has never forgotten them in the
higher military and civic positions to which
he has been called.
