A BRIDE FOR THE MIKADo's HER.
The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna says :
"The Japanese ENJOYS in Europe have
been instructed to watch the chances
among European princesses to get a
bride for the Mikado's heir. Failing
to find princess, they should seek a
nobleman's daughter or an American
heiress. The heir to the japanese
throne was born at Toxic on August
81, 1879. He was declared Grown
Prince in 1889. His name is Prince
Yoshihito Harunomiya. He is an
adopted son of the Emperor, the lat
ter's only son having died at his birth. y
Officials at the Japanese legation in
Washington emphatically discredit the
report that ENJOYS of the Mikado's
government have been instructed to
watch the chances among European
princesses to get bride for the Grown
Prince, Yoshihito Harunomiya, with
the added provision that, in default of
an eligible European princess, an
American heiress will do. The young
heir to the Japanese throne is only
thirteen years of age, and his matri-
monial prospects will not be consider
ed for some time. 1t is, moreover, a
well-defned custom for the princes of
Japan to seek their wives among the
distant branches of the imperial family,
and when he gets old enough Yoshihi-
to, doubtless, will follow this custom.
Yoshihito, by the way, is the son of the
Mikado, not an adopted son, as stated.

THE Nicaraguan correspondence re-
Gently made public shows that Great
Britain never had the slightest idea
of interfering between Nicaragua and
that part of the territory thereof known
as the Mosquito Coast. But, though
this has always been plain to every
well-informed man, the jingoes of this
country were keen etupon an attempt
to create trouble between the British,
and this government in relation to the
matter referred to.

A resolution introduced by Mr.
Northway was agreed to to pay the
widow of Col. w. T. Fitch an amount
equal to his salary for six months and
funeral expenses not exceeding $3.50
Col. Fitch died Christmas morning AND
had been an employee of the House fcl

An effort was made to pass bill to
give an American registry to the
steamer Empress. owned By John D.
Hart, of Philadelphia, but Mr.. English
objected, and the currency bill was
taken up in committee of the whole,
The committee was first addressed by
Mr.. Boatner in advocacy of the passage
of the bill.
Mr.. Bland asserted that the demo
cratic platform declared for the use Of
silver, and that because the platform
had not been lived up to by the demo,
cratic administration, the party hao
gone down to disaster and defeat.
Mr.. Boatner contended that the demo
cratic platform contained no criticism
of the poliay of paying the government
debt in gold, and Mr.. Springer aske
that the platform on that subject might
be read.
Several democrats-"O we've heard
that before"
Mr.. Springer-"I don't believe you
have.'
Mr.. Boatner deprecated the contin
ual interjection of the silver question
by Mr.. Bland into proposed legislation
calling his attention to the fact that a
msjority of their own party on the
floor did not gree with them to the
full extent of the views of the extreme
silver advocates, and that the President
was still dominated by the convict
ions respecting silver which had always
characterized his views and actions.
Mr.. Band-"The gentleman has beer
dragooned by the administration.
have not.n
Mr.. Boatner repealed this assertion
with much feeling. He asked Mr.
Bland where he got his information
that he had been "dragooned by the
administration" He said that no vote
of his had ever been dictated or infu
enced by any other force than his con
viction of public duty.
Mr.. Bland said he based his opinion
upon the gentleman's own statements
that he had said there was no use II
trying to effect any legislation that wa
not concocted for them by the ad
ministration and he inferred that thu
gentleman had gone over to the ad
ministraton. "But l tell you," Mr.
Bland said passionately, "that you can
not run the democratic party on thes'
lines of republication and federalism
laid down in this bill. When the demo
Gratis get ready to 60 over to the re
publican party they will do it like mel
and vote the republican ticket. Ant
no mugwump administration can bring
the party to the support of republican
and federal measures"
Mr.. Lacey spoke in opposition to thu
bill and was followed by Mr.. Cockral
also in opposition.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the Alexandris Gazette

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.
Public opinion on the subject of the
reconciliation of the President and Sen
ator Hill as exhibited by the latter's re-
cent appearance among the guests at
the White House has settled down into
the belief that it means that both wings
of the democratic party are to flap to-
gether, as both realize that otherwise
both will fall and all be lost. With
this object in view, it is said, the Presi-
dent has agreed to concede the coinage
ofthe silver seigniorage and other points
: in the effort to pass the banking bill,
and that the intention of the democrats
in both branches of Congress is to pass
that bill as soon as possible. The adj
ministration too, it is said, has realized
the folly of antagonizing the members
of its party, and, as a means of inducing
them to support the bill, will grant them
such favors as are now at its disposal.
Mr.. Lodge, q champion of civil SER
vice, has given notice of two amend
ments he will offer which have for their
object the extension of the civil SER
vice. One is amendatory of the bill
maxim. making appropriation for the diplomat
;c and Consular service and puts that en-
tire service, after three years, In the clas-
sified service. The second amendment
applies to the urgent deficiency bill
and provides that all Offices created by
the income tax law shall be placed IN
the classified service and filed from. the
eligible lists of the civil service.
The subcommittee of the House a,p.
preparations committee, to whom the
bill was referred, have agreed to recN
ommend the appropriation of $50, 900
for the removal and destruction of the
garbage of this city-$40, 900 for collect
ing, and $4,000 for destroying it. The
present arrangement for hauling it to
farm lands in Virginia and Maryland
will only continue as long as the river
is closed by ice. When theice blockade
is removed, the old way of loading it on
scows and dumping it in the river near
Alexandria will be resumed, unless the
bill referred to be passed.
The American consul at Newcastle
ON Tyne has called the attention of

urer. In October last he attempted to
preserve order at Washington Court
House, the county seat Of his own county,
during riot caused by mob that at
tempted to rescue a prisoner from the
Jail and hang him. The sheriff ordered
the mob to disperse and they declined,
and as a result about eleven were killed
and wounded. At the polls he was de-
feated for reelection. We are inclined
to think that our delegates could do no
better work than to nominate him by ac-
clamatiOn which will show that the peO-
pie of the state outside of Fayette county
are wise enough to appreciate the ser
vices of brave officer, and the suprem-
acy of the law.
