What's the Matter with Attorney
Mcintosh for Mayor.

Why don't the Republicans in their
search for good, clean, honest. eco
nomlcal man to run as their candidate
for mayor settle upon Mr.. T. L. Nc
lntosh? He has made a record in the
past few weeks, as the prosecuting at
torney in what is known as the Grace
tax case, that ought to satisfy the peo-
pie that he has the interest of the tax
payer at heart. There is too, no doubt
but he would be true to his convictions,
ana no power could move him, as was
also proven in the case above referred
to, as probably every inducement con-
ceIyable was held out to him. if he
would only drop the case, but he
would not, and success was his. and
many people rejoice. The republicans
could do much worse than nominate
Mr.. Mcintosh, think it over, and de-
eide before the 2Sth.

The witness testified 10 having meet

WILL WAIT FOR VETOES
Congress Running No Chances On
Several Pet Measures.
So the Time for Ad iOurnment Is Now
Set for the First Week
In June.

Adjournment Is tile one question inter.
esting the people at the Capitol.
There are other matters that are oecu
pying the attention of statesmen, button their
disposal depends the matter Of closing up
the law-niaking shop for the summer No
definite conclusion can be reached until
these matters are settled It's guess work
beyond.
The little bluff made by the House to
adjourn May Is was never considered
seriously. The House itself, though it
greeted the passage or the resolution with
applause, held it to be only a joke Mem
bers have laughed at it since.
The general impression now seems TO be
that adjournment will be reached Some
time early in June. Most prophets place
it about the 9Th. Some run IL TO the Goth,
but il is claimed by others that il Congress
holds ON that long 1t Will put in the summer.
The chief obstacles to adjournment are
the river and hHrbor bill and hundred or
so pension bills. The suspicious OF the
friends of the first named measure lead
them to suspect that Mr.. Cleveland will
veto it. He never has signed river and
harbor bill because they have never been
drawn on the lines OF his democracy. He
has permitted them 10 become laws without
his signature.
This time it has been decided to force his
hand. he Will not he permitted 10 pocket

become law or he must yetoit- Congress

he sees fit 10 send one in. Then IL in tends
TO pass il over his veto. 1t Will require u
two thirds vote. to do this, but tie friends
of the measure are confident that they can
secure the necessary votes.
With the pension bills the same is true.
He must take action OF sCme sort. II they
are vetoed Congress wants the country 10
know It, The friends of the old soldier
think they have Mr.. Cleveland in a box.
and they intend to keep him in it.
Under the most favoTa BILE circumstances
it will be Friday or Saturday y before the
river and harbOr hill re ac6es the President
He can keep II ten days, and that would
extend the time TO the 25th or Goth: The
same is true OF the pension cases. So adj
iournmeut cannot come until the first
week in June.
The Pre- sdent might fool them all, though,
by acting promptly on these measures and
thus hasten the hOmegoing. 1t would sir-
prise the people if he did, though.

FLYING MACHINE FLEW.
Prof. Bell Describes the Langl ey
Aerial Boat.

Prof. Bell Describes the LangI ey
Aerial Boat.
Prot. Alexander Graham Bell, prominently
identified with the invention of the teIe-
phone, who has taken great interest in
flying machines, expresses his conviction
that Prof. Langley of the Smithsonian IN
stitution has solved the problem Of aerial
navigation. He writes as follows:
Last Wednesday witnessed a very
remarkable experiment. with Prof. Langley's
aerodrome on the Potomac River. Itseemed
to me that the experiment was of such his
torical importance that it should be made
public.
The aerodrome, or flying machine in
question, was Of steel, driven by a steam
engine. IT resembled an enormous bird,
soaring in the air with extreme regularity
10 large curves, sweeping steadily upward
iu spiral path, the spirals with diameter
of perhaps one hundred yards, until it
reached height OF about one hundred feet
10 the air, at the end of a course of about
half a mile, when the steam gave out, the
propellers, which had moved il stopped,
and then, 10 my further surprise, the whole
instead of tumbling down, settled as slowly
aud gracefully as it is possible for any
bird to do, touched the water without any
damage. and was Immediately picked out
and ready TO be tried again.
"A second trial was like the first ex-
cept that the machine went in a different
direction. moving in one continuous gentle
ascent as it swung around in circles like a
great soaring bird. At one time it seemed
TO be in danger Us its course carried it over
neighboring wooded promontory, but ap-
prehensiOn was Immediately alIayed, as it
passed twenty-five or thirty feet above the
tops OF the highest trees there and ascend
Ing still further. its steam fin;.ly gave out
again, and ii settled into the waters Of the
nver, not quite quarter OF a mile from
the point at which L arose
mo one could have witnessed these ex-
penments without being convinced tbatthe
practicabiIity OF mechanical flight had been
demonstrated
Iti is assumed, though Prof Bell does not
explicitly say SO, that no aerial navigator
accompanied the machine in the flights
described.

ment depending upon our fidelity to the
principles upon which it rests; the vast
interests OF confiding people, promoted
and guarded only by honesty and faithful
ness in their service; and obedience tothose
national obligations which our membership
in the family of nations exacts, should be
sufficient to euforce upon those trusted
by their countryme u the lessons which this
monument teaches.
LET US all, however, open our minds
and hearts to the sentiments especially
appropriate to this occasion. and let our
sense of public duty and our patriotic
aspirations be quickened and stimula ted
by a voice from the grave admonishing
| US that our obligations as servants of the
people are made more sacred. and our In
centives to vigilant citizenship more i'm
pressive, because we have in our keeping
the fame and glory of our country's heroic
dead"

which was Witnessed by fully $4,000 people,
and who Justify cheered the notable act.
While the Marine Band played the Red,
White and Blue" the light battery on the

with heads bowed quickly took their seats
| and reached for their handkerchiefs, which
| they suddenly became in need OF. Ladies

| engaged in conversation made n o attempt
| 10 hide their. tears, but sat down and were
only aroused when the President announced
| the poem by Mr.. Dewitt c. Sprague.
The poem was original and touched
pathetically upon the good qualities Of

INCIDENTS OF THE PARADE.
Several members of the Fourth Artillery
were overcome by the heat after their
long march, and were compelled to fall
out of line when the vicinity of the
statue had been reached. Others OF the
soldiers and bandsmen were made sud-
denly i'll by drinking too copiously from
the buckets OF ice water which were
freely circulated among the boys in blue.
The post ambulance and surgeon were on
hand and the artilicrymen received prompt
attention.
"A very fat man with his wife persisted
In trying to get past Sergt. John c. Daily,
who was In charge OF the Fourth pre-
cinct platoon. The parade was coming
and the orders OF the sergeant were TO
keep the roadway clear. AS the fat man
refused TO go back into the line, and con-
tinued to expostulate, Daily created
great laugh by seizing the man, and by
main force hosting him back into the
throng.
There were several small panics in the
dense mass of humanity surrounding the
statue, and number of ladies were car
ried fainting from the crowd.
All the detectives from headquarters
| and some of the precinct sleuths were
| scattered through the crowd looking for
| pickpockets.
A young man who gave his name as
| Harper had his foot crushed beneath the
| hoof OF one OF the cavalry horses on PENN
| sylvania avenue, near Seventh street.
Mr.. LeeJ Runyon of No. 229 Second street
