THE PRICE OF G A S
A Broad Resolution for Information
Adopted by the Senate.

The question of the price of gas in the
District of Columbia was briefly aSitated III
the Senate this morning. There Is a very
general desire on the part OF Senators 10
obtain information in this matter, anu
had it not been for a formal objection the
Senate would doubtless have passed in the
morning hour very comprehensive feso-
luton asking for a great variety of IN
forma ton relative to the manufacture and
price of gas in the District. In view Of the
fact that the dollar gas bill has already
passed the House and is now pending in
the Senate District committee, with the
probabilities all leaning toward favor
able report, the brief DEBATE In the Senate
today is taken by many to indicate that
the upper house will speedily give it's con-
currence to this measure when il finally
comes before it for action.
MIR. Calls Revolution.
Last Monday Mr.. Call, by request, sub
nitted e resolution directing the District
committee 10 make an investigation of the
gas question. 1t has been laid over from
day TO day, and today when it came up for
action Mr.. Call explained that it was in
troduced at the request of a large number
of persons interested in the subject of
gas lighting in the District.
He asked for present consideration, but Mr..
Hoar wanted the resolution hroadened, and
suggest ed an amendment and was followed
by Mr.. Hawley, who suggested further
amendment, and then Mr.. Hoar sugges ted
snother amendment in the nature of an
addition, until the resolution was material
ly heightened. Mr.. Call then asked for IFS
immediate consideration, but Mr.. Wolcott
suggested that In view of the several
amendments made verbally on the floor OF
the Senate the, resolution ought 10 he
printed anew, so that ii could be acted
upon more intelliger tly. This objection. of
course, prevented immediate action, and
the resolution was laid over TO be called
up on the next legislative day. AS it now
stands the resolution reads as follows:
An Ii Stands Amended.
Resolved, by the Senate, That the com
mittea on the District Of Columbia ne d.
rected to obtain from the Washington Gas
Light Company, and report to the Senate.
a statement, under oath, showing the
amount of cash On hand on the 1st day Of

Richmond Recaptur ed.

Leonidas Polk Bivouac No. 3, ana
William Henry Trousdale Camp
No. 1850, held their regular monthly
meeting last Monday. The MEM
bers in attendance listened with
much attention and interest to an
account of the recent Confederate
Reunion at Richmond, related by
Col. H. A. Brown, who went as a
delegate from this camp. Col.
Brown characterized the reunion as
great success. He spoke in glow
ing terms of praise of the liberality
and generosity shown by the Vir-
ginians, and especially by the peo-
pie of Richmond, toward the veter-
ans. Nothing was left undone that
tended to the comfort or enjoyment
of the visitors. During their three
days stay many old friends who
separated in the gloomy days of the
close of the Civil War, met and re-
newed the ties that bound them,
and recalled the memories of the
past, and discussed the scenes of
long ago. But the fleeting years
bring many changes, and one by
one these relics of The Lost Cause
are passing out to answer when the
roll is called up yonder.
A pyramid of thirteen young
ladies represented the Southern
States. Miss Mary Wilkes, the
| Sponsor for Tennessee, was the per-
soniticatiOn of perfection to many
admiring eyes, and did honor to the
state she represented.
Sp1an1id np1ap Uoa maintained
and it can not well be otherwise
when old Confederates meet to dis
cuss the past or plan for the future.
They are frail and imperfect as are
other men, but they learned lesson
from experience. and they knew
their duty and do not fear to per-
form it.
The grandest tribute ever paid to
any man was tribute to a Con-
federate soldier-Stonewall Jack
son. The monument to his memory
at Richmond, was erected by a
number Of English gentlemen.
Not dollar of American mon
ey entered into the fund. There
is not another instance in the
annals of the world in which a man
has been so honored by the people
of foreign nation.
Comrade w. A. Smith was ad-
mitted as member of Camp and
Bivouac. A full attendance of the
Bivouac is earnestly requested at
the next meeting, first Monday in
August. Comrades, come up with
your dues, we are needing money
badly.
