sented to him by the governments of
Brazil and Spain during the term of his
service as President, was objected to
by Mr.. Allen and had to 60 over until

Mr.. Gallinger introduced aioint reso-
luton for An amendment to the consti-
tuition and asked that it lie on the table
for the present. 1t provides that neither
Congress nor any State shall pass any

ligion. or prohibiting the free exercise

HOUSE.
Personal explanations were the order
of the day at the opening of the House
to-day.
Mr.. Bartlett refereed to the charge
that he had furnished to Mr.. Sulzer the
copy of a letter prepared by Mr.. Glib
son for circulation among his constitu-
ents, which, it is stated, Mr.. Bartlett
had picked up in a job printing Office.
He denounced the item as lie, with
out the slightest foundation in fact. AS
a member of Congress. he had no
other remedy than to call attention to
the publication and denounce it.
he was followed by Mr.. Boutelle,
who called attention to g change in the
report of the proceedings of Yesterday
recording the colloauy between him
self and Mr.. Wheeler as to the attitude
of the democrats in the House toward
the bill to place General Grant on the
retired iist, change which he said did
him gross injustice, as it left him
standing on nothing in respect of the
charge he had made, whel So a matter
of fact he was standing on the record Of
the House. There being no objection
the Speaker announced that the record
would be made to correspond with the
facts a. they occurred.
The explanation occasioned some
feeling and confusion. Mr.. Wheeler
desired to explain how the change &C.
CURED, and after some contention he
was permitted to explain that he had
made the change in order to correct a
mistake in his statement, an opportuni-
" to do which at the time had been
ienied him. With this, at the sugges.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
WASHINGTON, March 25.
A bronze statue of General Hancock
which is to bs erected on Pennsyl.
yania avenue reservation near 9TH
street has been levied upon for debt
of $50. The pedestal has been in readi-
ness for some time and the statue,
which was cast at Providence, Rhode
Island, has been lying at the Pennsyl-
yania freight house for several days.
III. ]. Ellicott, the sculptor, gave an or
der to man who was publishing an
illustrated biography of dignitaries, but
when he learned the character of the
publication refused to pay the sixty dol
lars demanded and the publisher there
upon levied upon the bronze statue to
secure payment.
General Walker, member OF the
House river and harbor committee,
saws the bill that committee will report
will be very liberal to Virginia, and
that he thinks it will pass.
1t is thought at the Capitol that the
conference committee on Chs Cuban
resolution will report in favor of recog-
nizing the belligerency of the insur-
gents, but will make no mention of in
tervsution.
The prevailing impression on the
subject at the Capitol is that the resolu-
ton providing for sine die adjourn
ment of this session of Congress on the
I'd of May will be adopted. Nearly all
the democratic Senators aye in favor of
it, and most of tl,eir republican COL
leagues, and it is we'll known that Ar.
Speaker Reed, who bosses" the House,
has, from the first, favored as early an
adjournment as possible, and has told
people he thought Congress would adj
Iourn early in May.
Lucinda Jackson of Alexandria has
been granted a pension.
Senator Blackburn has poor opin-
ion of the independence of Secretary
Carlisle, and seems to think the Presi-
dent owns him body and soul.
The rumor that racing would be re.
sumed at st. Asaph on the LIST proximo,
recently current here, is denied to-day,
but it is said that racing will be com:
menced at Elkton, in Maryland, on the
18th proximo, and that most of the
horses at Alexander's Island and st.
Asaph will be sent there.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAR. 25, 1896

IT'S at least intimated, if not open
ly charged, that most, if not all, OF the
various recent war scares have been the
result of deliberate attempts to affect
the stock market, and were raised with
no intention of an actual resort to hos
tilities. For the reputation OF the
President, Congress and the country,
this report or rumor should be inyesti-
gated at once, and its fallacy be proved,
if it can be. The fact that many OF the
prominent politicians now in Washing
ton are known to have dealings with
stock manipulators, and have acquired
large fortunes in recent years, with no
other apparent source of revenue than
their salaries, certainly does not tend
to discredit the disgraceful rnmor re-
ferred to.

THE FACT that member of the U.
s. Senate should stand up on the floor OF
that body and advocate the seizure and
annexation of West India island that
belongs to friendly nation, and be ap-
plauded therefor by some of his COL
leagues, and by the galleries, certainly
adds nothing to the character and dig
nifty of that body, but is a patent IL
Iustration of the down grade upon
which all the branches OF the govern
ment have entered.

CRIMES ARE punished as a means
whereby people may be deferred from
committing them, but the fact that a
negro employee in the Treasury De-
partnlent at Washington has just been
sentenced to one months Imprisonment
in Jail for stealing twenty-five thousand
stamps, is certainly not calculated to
have any such effect.

number, were taken with it. The ice re-
mains intact and is comparatively solid, but a

MIR. BAYARn SPEAKS.

At the banquet Of the City of Lon
don Pension Society last night United
States Ambassador Bayard, in respond
ing to the toast, "Kith and Kin Beyond
the Sea-" made significant speech, in
which he said:
Your kindred beyond the seas are
as like as two peas to those of Great
Britain. The two peas are patriotism
and pluck"
Then, after reference to the chart
table disposition of the race throughout
the world, Mr.. Bayard said: "Your
kindred beyond the seas are not al
ways unanimous. Nevertheless, there
is one voice that appeals to them all.
Since I came to England have never
found occasion to change my tone.
There is nothing I would say at home
that 7 would not say here, and there is
nothing would say here that I would
not say at home. I do not expect
unanimity. / would almost say God
forbid. But do not expect us to speak
in tone to suit everybody, for in the
system of government originated here
and carried beyond the Atlantic, there
is something that enables man to
speak according to his own conscience.
There, indeed, is the strength of this
country and the strength of my own.
When the time shall come that man
shall not dare to speak the thoughts
that swell within him for the public
good, Gold help the country.
.sHere lies that which shall keep
both countries moving onward and up
ward I'M the Gauss of civilization. We
will never suppress the truth for fear
Of evil consequences, but will tell it
whether We I've or whether we have to
die.n fCheers. :.

LARGE QUANTITIES of pig iron are
now being shipped from Alabama to
England, and large shipments OF cotton
ties are being made from Ohio to India.
Nevertheless, the protectionists say the
tariff is not high enough, and should
be raised still higher. The fact is that
if this free country would do the right
thing, and repeal the tariff and estab-
lish free trade, all its unemployed labor
would be put to work to supply foreign
orders, for the industrial facilities OF
the country are superior to those Of
every other on the face of the earth,
and, with free trade, the United States
would soon become the storehouse of
she world.

still in favor of keeping up the war

man who opposed the passage of the

That bill has now passed both houses

WOODS CASE POSTPONED.
His Father Tells About Jacks0n's
Bad Influence,

CINCINNATI, Ohio, February 25.-The
case of William Wood. charged with albeit
ting an attempt to commit an operation OF,
Fearl Bryan, who was recently found MIR
dered near Fort Thomas, Ky, was called
this morning in the police court. The pris-
oLer appeared, attended by his attorneys,
Davis and Blackburn of this city and Cen
Matson of Indiana. His father, Rev. F. M
Wood, and Rev. Dr. Rust were also present
There was no disposition on the part of the
state to hurry trial, and the defense was
Wiling to grant all the time required by
the prosecution to perfect its case, so that
almost by consent it was postponed until
April Ii, and the bail was reduced from
5000 to 5000. The young man was taken
down stairs to await the result of an effort
to procure a bondsman.
The Rev. d. NJ. Wood, father of William
wood, makes a long statement in the Com
mercial Gazette in the way of pailiatins
the share Of his son in the crime, if not
excuSing it.
The reverend gentleman says the feeling
about Greencastle and elsewhere in Indiana
has become much more mild toward Will
Wood. He says Fred. Bryan, brother of
that is still bitter toward Will Wood. He
Elames Pearl Bryan for inducing his son to
bring her and Jackson together during last
August and September.
He relates how Will became acquainted
with Scott Jackson in 1894, and now he
kept up that intimacy later when jackson
was working in DR.. Gillespie's Office He
now knows how jackson tried to corrupt
Wis mind; how he described escapades
with girls in his own life, rot with lewd
women, but with good girls he had led from
the path of virtue. He explained to VIII
how easy and safe 1t was to get rid OF the
trouble in case of a mishap. OF all this the
reverend father was ignorant until since
