as great as that in the tariff debate
The state bank leaders have reached the
conclusion since the debate began that they
will command about 40 votes for one Of
the various plans of repeal They say
that with full attendance of the House
this vote may fall short of carrying the re-
peal, but II will carry in an average at
tendance.

COMMERCE WITH BOMBAY.
Reports From United States Consul
as to the Condition of Affairs.

United States Consul Sommer at Bombay
has made an exhaustive report to the De-
partment Of State upon the extent Of the
commerce between Bombay and the United
States. with the purpose of showing that
1t would be largely increased by the estab-
lishment of a direct line of steamers and
the reduction of freight rates.
The consul at Calcutta also reports that
there is large and promising market in
India for manufactured goods of cheap
grade. There Is also a considerable demand
for the products of perfected machinery for
boots and shoes, for patent medicines, for
notions of various kinds. for umbrellas but
above all for cotton goods, which constitute
the universal clothing of the people The
Indian cotton is only used for mixing with
American staple to cheapen the product.
The consul says that The United States is
now deprived of this great market by the
fact that our goods are of too high quality
and too expensive for the people. We must
give them what they want and not try to
educate them up to our ideas. Our manu-
facturers also show no interest in reaching
the Indian market, and TO succeed in en-
larging their trade must send representa-
tives to India or delegate exclusive agencies
to established firms, to encourage them TO
advertise and push the goods. At present
however, the trade conditions of India are
so unsettled, owing to the effort of the gov
ernment to force up the gold value of the
rupee. that until the gold standard or BIZ
metallism Is permanently adopted 1t is un-
advisable to attempt to introduce new goods.

THE PARADE.
A Military Escort TO the G. A. r. Posts
to the Bridge.

A military escort of imposing length ana
appearance led the procession of the vet
Grams of the posts Of the Department of
the Potomac this morning from their head
quarters. opposite Willard Hotel, on their
march to Arlington. The old comrades were
in line along the south side of Pennsyl-
vania avenue from 13 l-2 street to 18th
street before 10 O'Clock. They stood there
at rest waiting for their escort TO put in
an appearance. AS the eye glanced down
the line of blue coats of the Grand Army
uniform and noted the grizzled boards and
the gray hair and the STOPPING form IL
needed no other reminder OF the fact that
the years were passing and that the period
OF the war was getting more remote.
Each post as IL stood together in line had
its distinctive appearance in spite of the
uniform dress. One or two were accom-
panied by drum and fife corps, and the
little fellows that composed these corps
furnished in fine style the martial strains
which kept the feet Of the veterans in time
a throng of spectators gathered along the
sidewalks on both sides Of the avenue and
watched the formation OF the line. The
overcast skies had been prudently regarded
by the old soldiers. and they had supplied
Themselves with umbrellas, which served
however, very Wei Tor canes when not
needed for the rain. The old comrades
were evidently out for a holiday, and they
laughed and chatted with each other and
seemed TO be in good spirits with them
selves and with the world
Presently the strains OF music were heard
and the line of the District militia was seen
approaching. AS the soldierly battalions
came in sight the old veterans stepped
briskly into line and presented as good q
front possible. At the head rode Gen
Ordway, the commanding officer OF the
District guard, and with him were the MEM
bers of his staff. Two regiments of the
guard. as well as the light battery, the first
and second separate companies and the
ambulance corps. were well represented and
made a soldierly appearance. They passed
In front Of the entire line OF the Grand
Army posts, and the latter. headed by the
Marine Band the Old Guard and the Cap
ital City Guard. fell In behind.
As the two lines paralleled an involuntary
contrast was made.
The grizzled veterans. their battles over
and their fighting days closed looked upon
the succession Of military companies
formed of men almost exclusively belonging
TO a later generation. They saw their sons
as IT were, taking the places which they
once filled. The manly bearing and the
training which the youngsters displayed no
doubt gave the veterans a thrill of satisfac-
ton.
When the District militia reached the
point OF rendezvous there was no pause
the procession continued, the old veterans
falling in, and the march proceeded I'D the
avenue TO the Aqueduct bridge. where the
parade was dismissed the Grand Army
posts continuing TO Arlington.

EPwoRTH LEAGUE.

1t gives us great pleasure to have the
older christians present at our Epworth
League spiritual meetings on the 3rd
Tuesday evening and every Sunday
afternoon.
We love TO make our own church a
power in the world, while we live to love
every other church which exalts our
Christ.-Epworth League.
Henry L. Stanton, the Kentucky poet,
will give recital at this place in May,
under the auspices OF the Epworth
League. He has never gone to 50 small
place before. The League is highly
honored.
The object of the League is to promote
intelligent and loyal piety in the young
members and friends of the church; to
aid them in the attainment OF purity of
heart, and in constant growth in grace,
and to train them in works OF mercy and
help.
The "Epworth League" is an active
and earnest body of yousg christians
who want to accomplish great good.
There is intense activity in every de-
partment.
The devotional exercises are energet-
ically spiritual.
The young Epworthians are taking
hold of the League work with such en-
thusiasm the growth OF its membership
is rapidly on the increase. At our last
regular literary meeting of the League
Shakespeare day was observed. The
church was beautifully decorated with
the Epworth League colors, red and
white.
The program was interesting and in
structive.
The quotations from Shakespeare were
apt and pithy.
The paper-"Characteristics of Shake
speare's Women" was full of thought
and food for the mind and soul.
1t is smpossible in brief way to dc
justice to "Portia" and "Shylock." Por'
tia, cultured and refined, and of sweet
and gracious spirit, was iavorite. Shy
lock, novel and bold, followed fearlessly
to finish.
The music was excellent and very
much delighted the audience.

BREcKESRIDGE county asphalt, with
offices in Louisville, is being shipped
through Louisville to Buffalo, NewYork,
where 1t has been declared the finest in
the world, and the streets OF that city are
being laid with ii. Now right in the
face OF this, the Board OF Alderman, OF
Louisville, last week, passed an ordi-
nance, providing that all the asphalt
streets Of Louisville be made OF Trinidad
asphalt. This asphalt is handled exclu-
sively by the Barber Asphalt Company,
and the home OF the Barber Company is
Buffalo, New York. Now, II should not
far a moment be thought that the Louis
vile Aldermen are set Of mullet-heads,
for such is not the case. However, II is
reasonable TO suppose that the Louisville
representative OF the Barber Asphalt
Company knows just what kind OF argu-
ment 10 use on a Louisville Alderman
10 convince him that Trinidad asphalt
should be used on Louisville streets.
The same argument caused Cloverport
paving brick TO get black eye last sum-
mer In favor Of the John Porter, West
Virginia, brick, a material far inferior in
every respect to the Cloyerport vitrifed
brick.
