Senator Allen, populist, voted with the
democrats, and announced that Sena-
tor Kyle, populist, South Dakota, was
paired with Mr.. Morrill,, republican,
Vermont, on all questions relating to
the tariff. Mr.. PETER was absent and
no pair was announced for him. The
vote Of Senator Allen and the an
nouncement of the pairs of Senator
Kyle is taken to mean that these Sena-
tors will vote with the democrats on
the tariff bill.
Mr.. Teller offered a substitute for
Mr.. Aliens resolution for the investiga-
ton of the arrest of the Commonweal
leaders, and then the Senate went into
executive session.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
Wy ,a,-r>-c,roN Nov IN 1904


WASHINGTON, May 10, 1884.
A New York member of Congress re-
lated an incident on the floor OF the
House this morning going to show that
the Coxey army Will not work, even
where it is necessary for their own pro-
lection. The condition Of the grounds
where they are encamped required q
trench for drainage purposes to be dug.
Two picks and three shovels were pro-
cured, and the men were asked to be-
gin work. One protested that he was
q tailor and could not DO manual labor.
Another excused himself on the ground
that he was y carpenter. A third was
bricklaycr. and so the stories ran un-
til finally one man was found who con-
fessed that he was q plain. everyday
workingman. y pick was hastily hand
ed to him. He went TO the spot indi-
Gated and commenced digging. He
worked ten minutes, the remainder OF
the armys watching him with grave in
terest. At the end of that time he
threw down the implement and said
he'd 'be id if he'd work any more"
He added that he hadn't come to Wash
ington to work, and he made this de-
claration good by throwing up the job
then and there. The incident was told
to the New York congressman by one
of the local physicians detailed to in
spect the Co1ey camp, snd is vouched
for as being true in every particular.
Eight hundred tickets were sold here
for the Fredericksburg celebration.
1t seems to be pretty well understood
at the White House, as well as at the
Treasury Department, to-day that SEN
ator Ransom's man will be appointed

THERE ARE southern gushers and op-
timists who persist in the ignorant as
sertiou that the result Of the war be-
tween the States was blessing in dis
guise to the South. And yet land in
the Green Spring neighborhood OF
Louisa county, in this State, as valu-
able as any other in the South before
the war, sold last Tuesday for $3.50 an
acre. Every intelligent man, familiar with
the condition ofthe South prior to 1861,
knows that the real effect OF the war
was lasting blight upon the moral, in
tellectual, social and material interests
of each and all of the Southern States,
and as much so il respect Of Virginia as
ofany one Of the other once noble and
glorious sisterhood.

BONE throwers have become so nu-

considering the advisability of erecting
iron gratings in front OF the galleries of
their chambers, so that any dynamiter
wac may feel disposed to take shy at
them, may be prevented from crafty
ing that unlaudable desire. A weak

dynamite in such an assembly would
be more destructive than was Samson

THE PROLONGED delay and uncer-
tainty il respect Of the passage OF the
tariff bill may. possibly, induce the
President to regret that he did not
adopt the good advice Of the wiser
members Of his party, to cali an extra
session of Congress in March 1893. Had
re done, SO the bill would have been
passed long ago, and he and his party
been spareda great deal ofannoyance
and trouble. to say nothing of danger.
His assigned reason for rejecting the ad-
vice, it will be remembered, Was that
ne would have been overrun with Con-
gressmen. beseeching him for Offices for
"workers" in their respective districts;
aud that, too, though he has been so
overrun ever since ne was inaugurated.

SENATOR CHANDLER has introduced

SENATOR CHANDLER has introduced
bill in Congress to establish a free
port on the northern shore OF Long
Island, where there shall be no Gus
toms house and where goods can be
imported and exported without the su-
pervision of revenue officers. The only
reasonable objection that could be
urged against this bill is that it would
be local, and not general in its opera
ton. Tariff was invented by pirates
and is as much of a piratical measure
now as ever. 1t robs the many for the
benefit OF the few, and should have no
place in democratic government.

CoXey's Camp.

Coxey's men in camp in Washington
are kept under strict discipline. Mar
shall Carl Browne yesterday issued an
order that none of the men could leave
the grounds, except after a permit had
been granted them, and permits, it is
said, would be given only for important
business. The army has been reduced
in one week, from 500 to 800 men. One
Of the privates, an iron moulder said
Yesterday that there would not be 100
left after another week. Most of the
men were anxious to get out and look
for work, he said, and those who re
NAMED did so only because they were
sure of rations.
Representative Hudson, of Kansas,
had been quoted as saying that Coxey
would take his men from the city as
soon as congressional committee heard
him speak on his bill. Concerning this
report, CoXey said yesterday
1--WE have no intention OF leaving
Washington before some definite action,
either negative or affirmative, is taken
upon the bills which brought us here,
There has not been any regular CORES
pondence between the other bodies
journeying toward Washington aud
myself, but there is no question but that
their movements have been inspired by

no doubt we shall all affiliate together

The District health officers have decided
the Coxey camp to he a nuisance and danger
Gus TO health The District Commissioners
have given Coxey and his followers forty
eight hours ito abate the nuisance"
This doubtless means that they must break
camp within that time.
The forty eight hours notice dates from ,
o'clock p. IN yesterday. II is not likely that
Coxcy can comply with the law, except by
removing his camp from the square. BE cX-

Washington News.

The Wilson tariff bill which passed
the house Feb. 1, was laid before the
full membership of the Senate Com
mittee on Finance March s, in the
amended form upon which the Dem
ocratic majority of that committee
finally agreed, after one whole months
consideration, and numerous changes
of front upon all the more important
objects of taxation. simultaneously
with the presentation of the bill to
the full committee it was given out
for publication through the press.
The chief features upon which public
interest centred were the provisions
in regard to the tariff on sugar, iron
ore, lead, wool and it's manufactures,
cotton manufactures and the internal
revenue taxes on whiskey and tobac-
co.
Sugar has been placed on the duti
able list at from one cent to cent
and two fifths per pound according to
polariscope test. ~rct.@
Iron ore, including manganiferous
iron ore, also the dross or residuum
from burnt pyrites, forty cents per
ton.
Coal is taken from the free list and
made dutiable also at forty cents a
ton and Zoke at fifteen cents.
The whiskey tax is raised to $1.10
per gallon. The bonded period is ex-
tended five years, that is from three
to eight years.
Lumber remains on the free list.
The income tax provision of two
per cent remains in the bill, but the
tax on non-residents is stricken out.

Gladstone has at last been compel
led by growing infirmity due to old
age to resign the British premiership.
1t has been one of the wonders of the
age how a man could retain his Wig
Or, both Of mind and body, through a
lifetime spent in the most wearing of
occupations, politics. And yet Glad
stone has until recently shown the eff
fects of old age but little. Of late,
however, he has given evidence of
weakness that admonished him that
his career OF activity would soon be
brought to close. He is quick to
heed the warning and lays down the
scepter of Office before endangering
the public veal by acts due to his en-
feebled condition. Gladstone's biog-
raphy is one Of the most remarkable
in history. While not always success
full in his undertakings, he accomlish-
ed much that was considered impos-
sible. He has never been deferred by
fear of failure, apparently seeking
only the right, as he saw it. His place
will be hard to fill in the present dis
turbed condition of British politics.
The Earl of Rosebury is his successor.

Senator David B. Hill of New York
has declared open war against the
Wilson tariff bill, by introducing a
preamble and resolution in the SEN
ate, which, if adopted, would knock
that measure "galley west" The pre-
amble declares that the secretary of
the treasury has announced a deficit
of $78, 900, 600 under the Mckinley law,
and that the proposed Wilson bill will
increase it by $76, 0O0,0 900 more, which
double deficit it proposes to meet by
new internal and direct taxes. The
resolution calls on the senate finance
committee to frame amendments to
the bill which shall do away with the
internal and direct taxes, and to i'm
pose a tariff ON imports sufficient to
prevent any deficiency. The pream-
BILE and resolution are sound, patriot
ic, and practical. 1t is to be hoped
that, with the aid of union between
the Republican senators and the anti
Wilson bill Democrats, they may be
passed.

The sanitary condition of Rio janet

about 200 day. Many more of the

years. He rendered distinguished

his greatest notoriety to the burning
of Chambersburg, Penn. He was also
the commander whom Sheridan sent
"whirling through the valleys at Win
chester. A still more disastrous de-
feat at Waynesboro by Custer in
March, 1865, caused him to be reliev-
ed of his command. He remained an
unreconstructed rebel to the last, re-

or to accept courtesies offered him by
northerners. For years he had been
