CONGRESS.


session to close. Politically, it has
been very strongly democratic. The
senate has been composed of 46 dem
ocrats, 81 republicans and independ-
ents or populists; there have been
vacancies. In the house there were
217 democrats, 121 republicans and II
populists, etc. The amount of work
done in the last two years has been
comparatively small. The party in
ascendancy has been powerless
much of the time to do business on
account of party dissensions. The
two most important things accom-
plished were the repeal of the Sher-
man silver purchase bill, by which the
country was compelled to purchase
and coin certain amount of silver
monthly, and the enactment of the
Wilson German bill. Very soon after
the result of the election of 1892, great
financial disasters occurred and the
country was plunged into condition
of distress, only equalled in the time
of wars. The President imagined that
the trouble was occasioned by the
it's repeal. After a great struggle the
repeal was effected, but no particular
good resulted. The country was rent
by riots, disturbances, strikes and
business failures. Meanwhile the
democratic tariff reformers we're pre-
pairing a tariff bill which promised to
be a panacea. After several months
of turmoil in the Presidents party
bill was passed which every demo-
crat denounced, either in part or
whole. This has gone into effect, but
the affairs of the country have been
harmed, as the country declares, rath-
er than helped by the measure. The
revenues of government have fallen
far below expenses, and the Treasur-
er has been compelled to borrow 1852
600, 900 to tide over affairs and main
tain the nations credit. There has
been contest raging all the while in
congress and out, which has rent to
some extent the republican party,
but which has split the democratic
party and alienated the two branch
es. For two months everything, al
most, that has been attempted in Ell
ther branch of congress has been eff
fected by the silver war.
Last fall a great overturn took
place in the politics of the country.
The result of the election was such as
to overcome the great democratic
majority in the house and to make
a very large republican majority.
The senate also, was so changed in
political complexion that the demo-
Gratis lose majority, though they may
maintain controlling influence thro'
the aid of a few populists. Viewed
from any standpoint, the congress
which closes it's work next week has
not made creditable record. The
next congress will not meet, except
on a call from the President, until De-
cember. Meanwhile it is hoped that
business will somewhat improve and
the signs of the times be such as to
point to such new legislature as may
be needed.

The silver flag waves over the SEN
ate, the finance committee having
favorably reported bill for the un-
limited coinage of silver as proposed
by Senator Jones of Arkansas-a sill
yer dollar to be coined for each dol
lars's worth of bullion deposited in
the mints and the difference to be re-
tanned by the government as seignior-
age. The silver senators do not ex-
pect to get this bill to vote with the
end of the session only little more
than one week off, but the flag was
hoistered as notice to the admins
tration and to those members of the
house who have succeeded in getting
resolution for the issue of gold bonds
reported to the house from the ways
and means committee that it is need
less to apply to the senate for author
ity to issue gold bonds.
The Manufacturers Gazette says that
on the line of railway in northern
Alabama coal can be delivered at the
factory at 80 cents to $1.35 a ton,
against four times that cost, at least,
in New England. This saving alone
is of immense advantage to the South
ern factory. The coal fields south of
the Virginia line are in Tennessee and
Alabama. The coal fields of Alabama
cover $500 square miles, and from
them over 100000 tons of bitumi-
nous coal are annually taken. The av-
erage price of this coal at the mine is
not far from rs cents ton, or 80 cents
less than it was in 1892. At the pres
ent time nearly all the Alabama coal
Is mined in Jefferson and Walker
counties, whence it is easily trans
ported to all parts of the South, and
at price that almost defies competi-
ton in that State and western Geor-
gia The Alabama coal mines are of
very recent development, confined
almost wholly to the last decade.

slight and unimportant changes. The

several more daily trains to meet the grow
ing demands for communication with Alex
andria and suburban points like Falls
Church, Carlin's, Herndon and Vienna
along the Washington and Ohio branch
Five trains day each way will be run
after the 18th of this month.

CAUSED EXCITEMENT,
Fire This Morning in Columbian COL
leEe Building.

Fire This Morning in Columbian COL
lege Building.
A fire which broke out between l and 2
O'Clock this morning in the handsome brick
building of the Columbian University, cor
ner of 18th and II streets, did considerable
damage to the upper part of the structure.
That the flames did not spread to any
greater extent was due to the quick and
energetic efforts of the firemen.
The fire was first discovered by Police
man Emmert, who was standing about a
square away at the time. He at once ran
to the box at the corner of 10Th and G
streets, and, after turning in the alarm, he
fastened to the university, where he
reused the colored janitor. Chief Paris
and Assistant Chief Lowe, with engines No.
1, 2, and 7, truck c and chemical No. l.
responded
The fire by that time showed some signs
of getting a good Roadway 1t was not an
easy one to fight, for 1t was up under the
roof on the south end of the building, above
the room on the top floor which is used by
Prof. Nunroe as a lecture room in chemis-
try. Walter Lewis. the colored man WHO
has been the janitor at the university for
many years, and is regarded as a most
cate the flames, lighting the electric burn
ers on each floor as he went up. Then he
went to work to save the property in the
chemistry room. He removed all Prof
Munroe's books and papers into an adjoin-
ing room, SO that none of them were lost
or damaged.
The smoke was very dense and hindered
the labors of the firemen considerably. I'm
der the direction of Chief Parriss they en-
deavored to put out the fire with the use
of as little water as possible. In this they
succeeded, so that the ceilirg of the main
lecture hall, which was directly below, was
but little wet. A good-szed hole was burnt
in the roof, and Prof. Munroe's room was
pretty well dismantled; but that was the
extent of the ruin. The amount of damage
done will not be known until carpenters
and plasterers contract for the repairs, but
it is thought that $1,000 is a generous esti-
mate. The fire occasioned a good deal CT
excitement among the guests of the Hotel
Page and the occupants of the adjoining
houses. The origin of the fire is not GER
tain, but the presumption is that it was
caused by a defective fiue. 1t was first
thought to have resulted from the breaking
or crossing of the electric wires, but all
the wires in that part of the building We're
found to be in good condition today, and
the electric lights were all in perfect work
ing order.

AGAINST SOUND MONEY.
to the Memphis Conven-

The movement in opposition to the sound
money convention to be held in Memphis
May % assumed definite shape yesterday.
The Central Bimetallic League of Ten
nessee was organized; silver convention,
to be composed of delegates from the south
and west, was called to meet at Memphis

outlined for the propagation of the doctrine
of free coinage of silver at the ratio of Ii
to l. A manifesto, which is to be widely
circulated, was issued Congressman Bryan
of Omaha has accepted an invitation to
address mass meeting in Memphis on the
evening of May d. Immediately following
the assemblage of the sound-morey conven-

preston by Secretary Carlisle of his views
upon the financial question. The leading
advocates of free silver from both houses
