forces, but really those members who
want the Wilson bill or nothing. could
not pass their resolutions. which were
| intended TO instruct the cOnferees not 10
accept the Senate bill.
Hon. Champ Clark. who has just re-
turned from his speech-making at Lex
| ington expressed himself to-day as be
ing delighted with the cordial and cour-
teous reception rendered him, and re-
lated a pleasing little incident of the
| occasion. After | had finished speak
! ms, he said, "a gentleman arose, ana
| in brief and happy little speech, pre-
! scented me two baskets Of flowers when
he requested me 10 return 10 W ashingtoh
! TO Harry Tucker. as token OF the
united Democracy OF Buena Vista.
| In view OF the former report That there
! was some dissatisfaction at this place,
! this little incident WAS particularly pleas
| ing, both to Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Tucker.
| Mr. Bennett Bell was the deiiVerer OF
| the graceful speech and the flowers.
SENATOR RANsoM's TRIBUTE.
In the Senate this morning, Senator
Ransom stated that he feared that the
| resolution offered by Senator Hunton last
| week. authorizing the Secretary OF War
| to aud the name Of some ex-COntederate
| familiar with the battle Of Gettysburg TO
| the Gettysburg Commission, might be
considered q reflection on Mayor WIN.
| NJ. Robbins, of North Carolina, who for
! some time has been the southern repre-
sentative on the board 10 perfect the
! historical accounts OF this battle. During
| his brief. eloquent speech, Senator Ran
som paid beautiful tribute TO the Nir-
gnia troops VINO took part IN that en-
gagement, and also TO Senator hunton,
| who led a portion Of the assaulung
column Up the deadly incline Of Mission
AIRY Ridge.
Senator Hunton dsclaimed any inten-
| ton of rejecting on the galianuy or
| ability Of Major Robbins, but stated that
his idea was for the new appointee to
| act as assistant commissioner.
DEPARTURE OF THE NDUsTBIALs.
The Cincinnati contingent Of the In
! dustrial Army of the United States, under
| the command Of Generals OaIkin and
Thomas, started for Cincinnati and In
| dianapOlis last night, via the Chesapeake
| and ohio railroad.
This is the beginning OF a movement
| which will solve the problem what TO do
| with these misguided idlers. and IL is to be
/ hoped VIII result IL the tlnA Gislntegrd-
| ton OF the tramp camp at kOSSiyn, q.
These people have for some days been
| the subject OF much concern, both 70 the
| Secretary of War and 10 the Virginia au-
! thOrlties. The former would gladly have
! ordered them 70 Vacate the Government
| reservation on which they had pitched
! their tents long ago but Was at loss
| for place to send them. The Virginia
| authorities were equally anxious 10 be
| nd OF them but the only way 10 DO 50
| would have been - have enforced the
| vagrant law. and TO 30 this with the
| thousand and more men IN the camp would
| have been rather an expensive experiment.
| After several consultations on the subject.
! il was decide 10 leave the matter 70
! Hon Frank Hume, Of Alexandria, who is
/ SO well known here for his generosity and
/ pubic spirttedness. After consultation
! with the Secretary OF War. the district
! commissioners, and the leaders Of the
| sO-called army. he succeeded IN procuring
| transportation for about seventy Of the
! men to their homes, which was gladly
accepted. The funds 10 defray the trans
! portauon expenses % this first contingent
/ were contributed by private parties
| friends Of Mr.. Hume. but II is probable
! that all Of the men who tramped IT here
! point near their homes by the District or
| United States authorities. Mr. Hume Is
anxious 10 avoid all expense TO the state
| Of Virginia. and II Is very probable that
! he viii succeed IN uoing so.
MALONE IN WARRINGTON.
General Mohone is as much fixture
| Of the Capitol now as the marble busts
! or heroes and statesmen which rest in
| the inches Of Statuary Hall
| Accompanied by his son Butler. he
! daily takes his position near the main
! door Of the House II Representatives. and
! there remains until the House adiourns.
| He IS rarely alone FOR he Is sill the
! admiration Of some Of the Republican
| members. and many of the Democrats
! are SHOW ING an inc nation TO forget the
! Sturlcal incidents OF the last decade
! and remember him AGAIN as the "hcro
! Of ihe Crater His appearance is unique
| and picturesque. and as the General, al
! though rather failure as am orator. is
fine earnest talker. ne IS quite an object
! Of interest
His only object and aim now is to
| sell his lot to the Government for a
new printing office site Politics is
| secondary cons Iteration. lie has attempt
| ca no coalition with The Populist leaders
for the fan campaign in Virginia, and

can 20 discourage the Republican move
ment in that state. He does not wish
10 antagOniZe the Democrats in any way.
He must have Democratic help 10 sell
his lot. and II is very probable that
ne Will get more Of IL than the general
public believes at this time. He viii
certainly get some assistance from the
Virginia delegation, provided the Govern
ment Will not suffer by the transac-
ton.
Nearly three-fourths Of the lot which
bears his name is owned by Nirginians
other than General Malone The Alex
andria heirs Of the late David l.. Wind
sor own the controlling interest. and
Congressman Meredith. an other consid-
eratiOns being equal VIII warmly adv0-
cate the purchase of the Malone I.
The gross amount that General Malone
could possibly realize from the transac-
ton would. il is said, be under sixty
thousand dollars, and it is hardly proba-
bic that he Will attempt TO re-enter Viz
GINA politics on such limited capital.
