Correspondence Of the Alexsrdris Gazette
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1894.


The President has approved the act

siding officers of both branches of Con-
gless to-day and was carried to the

of Congressman Meredith.
Among the visitors here to-day is a
gentleman who was at Honolulu on the
day The legitimate government there
was deposed, and who witnessed the
whole affair. He says Thurston was at

marines at his command, there would
have been no so.called revolution.
The House democrats were placed in
very awkward position by Secretary
Carlisle to-day. To relieve themselves
from the odium of their surrender, after
their vain and foolish attempt to hold
an untenable position, they passed a
bill to put sugar on the free list. The
Secretary of the Treasury sent letter
to the Senate to day, to the effect that
such a bill, in view of existing circum-
stanc 5, is folly, and that its effects, if
passed, would be highly injurious.
Dispatches received here to-day say
that Congressman Jones was renouinat-
ed by the democrats Of the first Vir-
ginia district yesterday, and that Mr..
Mcdonald of Northumberland was nom
mated by the republicans.
The President has written Congress
man Wilson letter, sympathizing with
him for the defeat OF his tariff bill, and
saving that at one time, he, Mr.. Cleve-
land, doubted whether, after all, the
democratic party was the real party OF
tariff reform.
