A delegation of Alexandrians, com
posed Of 1Iessrs. j. A. and c. b. Mar

Nav. James McCuen and Rev. Nh
Butler. accompanied by Congressman
Meredith, called upon Postmaster Gen
eral Bissell this morning in the interest
of Mr.. J. A. Marshall, who is an appli
cant for the postmastership at Alexan-
dria; Of whose qualifications, character
and reputation they spoke in the high
est terms. Mr.. Meredith told Mr.. Bis
sell if what they said in reference to his
candidate for the place was not sutli-
cient, he would support it by the united
Congressional delegation from his State.
Mr.. Bissell replied to the effect that
that would be unnecessary, as he did
not want TO hear what people not
served with mail at Alexandria had to
say on the subject. The Postmaster
General received the delegation very
courteously, and listened attentively to
all they said, to which, he said, he
would give due consideration.
Captain Cooke, the populist candi-
date for Governor of Virginia at the
last election in that State, is here to-
day. He pays frequent visits to this
city, but his friends say they are on
private business.
Congressman Edmunds of Virginia
saws he fears the ''old man, as he calls
himself, will have 10 come back to Con-
gress for another term.
People here from the Petersburg, Va,
district, say the report that ex-Govern-
or Mckinney will be candidate for
the democratic congressional nomina-
ton III that district is without founda-
ton, and that he has written letter to
that effect. Mr. Epes, the present rep
resentative from that district, says he
thinks the Australian ballot system
snakes that district safely democratic.

A well-known and generally liked
Virginian in the city, talking to-day
about some people from his State who
have been hanging about here for a

strike them, and who, from their looks,
feel bad because the ''gayer insects tlut-
lering by, pause not over those who

sire to become interested with him in

lot, near his city. 1t is understood that
they want to make the thing a Wash
ington affair, but that Mr.. Hill sticks
by his own city, and says that while

The ATTEMPT of the anarchists to
blow up Catholic church in Paris is
not al all surprising. Indeed the only
wonder about it is the fact that it was
not made before. The Catholic, is q
conservative church, and therefore is
hated by anarchists, nihilists, commun-
lists, and all other kinds of radicals and
iconoclasts. The Primate of Scotland
WIS stabbed and the Catholic churches
of that country sacked and destroyed
by the revolutionists there, and the
Archbishop of Paris was shot by the
communists in that city. But all such
attacks do the church referred to good
inst a of harm.

T0-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Trouble in Denver.

DENVER, Col, Mar. lit was
known for the first time to-day that
Mrs. Waite, wife of the Governor, APP
peared at the conference OF the Cham
Der of Commerce delegation yesterday
and took part in the proceedings. She
proved that the spilling of human blood
had no terrors for her, and declared
that if she had authority she would or
der out every militiaman in the State
and lead them against the city hall
With clenched hands she cried that the
fight should go on until the last ma
tional guardsman in the State lay dead
on the pavement" Her arguments are
supposed to have had a good deal to do
with the action Of the Governor in
notifying the outside military COM
panies to hold themselves in readiness
to move. Gen. McCook says there is
no doubt that had a gun been fired yes
terday the Governor would have been
lynched within half an hour. The out
side militia are still under orders and
and drawing pay, and the Governor has
ordered that 100 horses be held ready
for his use to-day. This strange order has
a lded to the general uneasiness. Every
thing is quiet in the city this morning.
At the meeting last night ofrepresenta-
tive business men some advocated the
arrest and confinement of the executive
as lunatic. Others proposed the kid
mapping of Governor Waite. After
number of similar violent speeches the
meeting adjourned until this morning
to await further action by the Gov
ernor.
DENVER, March 17.-Gov. Waite has
decided to submit the question of the
legality of the two boards to the Su-
preme Court. Much excitement was
caused by the marching through the
streets of the light artillery on their
way to the mines The police expected
the artillery to attack them.

EVENING. MAR il, 1891

THE northern so-called democratic
newspapers that oppose the income tax
OF the Wilson bill and the amendments
made to that bill by the Senate finance
committee, accuse the southern Sena-
tors who support the latter OF gong
back" on their former professions, and
of not acting in accordance with the
cardinal principles of their party. Inc
papers alluded to are wrong, not the
southern Senators to whom they refer,
Southern Senators are, or, at least,
ought to be, free traders, but as the un-
amended Wilson bill is a protective,
not a free trade measure, protecting
New England products with forty
two per cent. duty, southern Senators
very naturally demand small share
OF the swag by moderate duty on the
products of their section, especially as
such duty would be in the direction
Of a revenue tariff, as declared for by
the last national democratic conven-
ton.

ton to the increase and TO the whole
item, Mr.. Settle said, was that
it was wholly unnecessary. There
were 9l9 commissioned internal rev.
enue officers in North Carolina, be.
sides deputy marshals and those who
are known as "form 10" and award.
men, who were paid out OF the appro
priation under discussion. The money
arising out OF the appropriation, Mr..
Settle said, was largely used as a COZ
ruption fund, and led to the reporting
of purely technical violations OF tho
law, to the great embarrassment and
often loss of innocent persons.

BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS.-Admiral Mel
10, who is at present in Curitiba, Brazil,
personally directing the concentration
of the southern rebels land forces upon
the Sac Paulo frontier, does not seem
to think that the cause of the revolu-
lutionists is lost by any means, because
Admiral Da Cana surrendered the
squadron in Rio harbor He says that
although Da Gama's action has ended
the naval revolution he is acting now
in full sympathy with the Rio Grande
DO Sui federalists and will win in the
end. His warships Itapimario ard
Angradoselio are now guarding the
harbor OF Desterro, the seat of the in
surgents' provisional government.
The Peixoto government is making
desperate efforts to get possession of
the rebel Admiral Da Cana and his
fellow officers, presumably to shoot
them without mercy. Failing to get
any satisfaction from the commander
of the Portuguese corvette Mindello,
where they have sought refuge, the
cabinet has sent dispatch to Lisbon,
making a formal demand for the sur
render of the fugitives.
The Portuguese merchant steamer
Cidada Do Porto was fred on by the
forts as she was leaving the harbor last
night. She was compelled eventually
to stop, and she was searched by gov
eminent officials, who marched ashore
81 insurgents found among the crew
and passengers.
The press asserts that the insurgent
Da CANA has asked for the use of a
Portuguese steamer to convey himself
and his officers 10 Buenos Ayres.

which the sapient legislature adopted
in response to silly demands for "a free

system is more liable to fraud than any
other, costly booths will have to be

State. 1t is hoped the treasury will
not be entirely depleted by the adop-

led to the committee on Pacific Rail
roads, OF which he was chairman, in
stead of to the committee on judiciary.
Speaker Crisp said it should have
gone to the committee on Pacific rail
roads; and Mr.. Reilly moved that the
committee on the judiciary be dis
charged from further consideration OF
the bill, and that it be referred to his
committee. The matter went over un-
til the committee on Pacific railroads
can order the chairman to make the
motion.
The House then went into committee
Of the whole to consider the sundry
civil appropriation bill.
The first amendment which was
agreed to was as follows mo fee

execution of any warrant from Z. S.
commissioner unless the same shall
have been executed within sixty day S
after the warrant was issued"
The next amendment was to the para
graph relating to the fees of clerks of
United States courts. Itprovides that
no person who holds an Office or en-
ployment under the government shall
receive compensation for discharging
the duties of any other Office or en-
ployment, nor shall such person hold

ACCORDING to a recent decision oithe
Supreme Court oftae State, they mem
bers of which were elected by the ia
NOUS 'readjuster" legislature, it is well
for the States creditors that the accept
ed a settlement by which they were
robbed OF half of what was due them in
order to secure the other half, as other
wise they would have lost the whole
of it, for, according to that decision, as
coupons of the States bonds were not
receivable in payment of one Of the
debts of the State, they were not re
ceivable for any of the others. The
court adopts without exception the in,
correct idea that athing false in one part,
must of necessity be false in every 9th
or. But this is the day of new Daniels,
