DIR. Everett Is Billions.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S-The Post
says: The worst Indignation that has
ever been put upon Chicago was cast
upon it by DR.. Everett Of Massachusetts
in his speech in the house yesterday
on the naval appropriation bill, when
he referred to the city by the lake as
the liver of the nation The remark
caused the Chicago delegation to feel
sorely aggrieved, but they concluded
that if the doctor would vote for the
proposition to add the caravels to the
bric-a-brac of the Chicago museum
they would swallow the insult"

that it is unjustifable and brutal. He

NEXT CONGRESS 'POLLED
Views Of Members on Silver. Tariff,
and the Income Tax.
One Hundred and Sixteen Men Boldly
Declare Their Preferdice-Few
Favor the Gold Standard Only.

New York, June 1.-The World tomorrow
will publish a telegraphio poll Of the next
Congress, as far as obtainable, upon the
silver, tariff, and income tax questions.
1t sums up the result as follows:
In a general way it may be said that
out of lie members who gave unequivocal
ans wers to the silver questions, DO arr
unqualifiedly in favor of free coinage, A
favor bimetallsm generally, with the pro-
viso OF an International agreement.
Only seventeen can fairly be classed as
favoring a single gold standard, and the at
titude OF some of these events not definite.
The South and far Western Statesare almost
unanimous for free coinage, the central
States lean toward silver, with International
bimetallic qualifications, and it is only in
New York, New England, and adjacent
Eastern States that there are any avowedly
gold standard men.
In regard TO the tariff only twenty eight
members are against all change, while
thirty-fivc favor moderate changes and
thirty-eight are pronounced, for radical
changes. few are free traders. The
moderates are chiefly those who think
changes will be necessary in order 10 in
crease revenues.
The income tax question brought out
many sharp and piquant answers. Forty
nine Congressman say that they favor the
principle of the tax. Forty seven oppose
it. A great many .evaded the question or
failed to answer it.

Anniversary Celebration of Jennie
Casseday's Beautiful Institution.
The anniversary of the Flower Mission,
which occurs on Sunday next, June 8, will
be observed by the District W. G. T. u. on

synonymous.

Early in life she suffered serious spinal
injuries, which confined her TO her bed
for the rest of her life. Her love for the
fragrance and brightness OF flowers in her
room suggested TO her the flower mission,
feeling that what was so pleasant and of
interest to her must also be to others equal
ly unfortunate.
About that time Miss Willard chanced to
be in Louisville and, through her influence,
Miss Casseday accepted the superintendency
of the flower mission organized at her own
suggestion Miss Casseday conducted the
mission until her death in the early part of
1898, all heroorrespondence &onaected with
its management being directed from her
"sick- bed"
The anniversary OF Miss C3ssaday's birth
is observed by the w. c. T. Q. al over the
country as special day for the distribution
of flowers and other acts OF Kindness to the
unfortunate. no matter what the cause OF
their misfortune may be. On that day
the members of the W. c. T. U. will visit all
the hospitals and prisons in the city leaving

other ways ministering to tis pleasure
and comfort of patient and prisoner.

All But Two of the Forty Horses
Safely Gotten Out.
The Arlington Livery and Feed Stables
owned and conducted by Mr.. John H Clark,
at No. 1924 G street northwest, caught
fire about 7:50 o'clock last night. The
fire was discovered by Thomas s Anderson,
an employe of the War Department stables,
in the alley in the rear of the Arlington
stables. He at once notified Foreman
Wunstall and an alarm was turned in.
The force of stable hands then directed
their attention to getting the horses,
about forty in number, out of the stable
By the time the engines had reached the
scene all had beengotteu toplaces of safety,
except two, which werein theextreme rear
of the stable. Both Of these suffocated
before they could be reached. One of them
was a valuable trotter, named after the
owner of the stable.
Engine Companies Nos. 1, 2, 8, 6 and 8,
and Trucks and B, with Assistant Chief
Lowe, responded to the first and second
alarms. By the time they arrived the fire
had gained considerable headway, and the
entire top of the building was in flames.
The firemen battled with the conflagra-
tion for nearly an hour before they were
able to subdue it.
The fire started in the feed room in the
rear of the building. This room was packed
with hay and straw, and it is thought that
the intense heat of yesterday afternoon
caused spontaneous combustion.
No one was in the rear OF the stable at
the time. all the employees being either in
the front office or on the pavement. Mr.
Clarke, the proprietor, has been very i'll

Information obtained yesterday was that
the Commissioners have no reason 10 be-
neve that the attorney for the District

formed Commissioner Powell that the
