DICKINSON VS.. PUGH.

Don NJ. Dickinson, Postmaster Gen

of Alabama, came together at Chamber
Inns hostelry, in Washington, last sat
urday night-not in spirit of demo-
cratic brotherly love, but in quite an
other way.
This is the story, as told by a gentle
man who was present:
"Senator Pugh and Congressman Me-

Great Britain's Attitude in Egypt.

PARIS, March 1S.-The French press
unanimously approve the attitude as.
sumed by the French minister of for
eign affairs in regard to the British ex-
petition to Dongola. The Figaro says
that Great Britain's attitude in Egypt
is an outrage upon all Europe. A dis
patch from Toulon says that Admiral
Maigret's squadron has been ordered
to proceed into Egyptian waters.
LONDON, March 1S-The st. James
Gazette makes no secret of the desire of
Great Britain not to evacuate the Nile
valley. The provincial newspapers
which support the government are ex-
ceedingly luke-warm. They say that

ment benches over the idea of recon-
quering the Soudan L. suspicious, and
this reserve will not be removed unless
stronger reasons for the expedition are

The speech created establishment at

Mr.. Hit was followed by Mr.. Cousins

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NAB. IS. 1896

TROUBLE IS anticipated in the State
democratic convention and will prob.
ably accur over the currency question.
AS that is a national, and not Stale
question, the State democratic conven-
ton OF Virginia should have nothing to
do with it, but it is more than likely
that many of the delegates to it will
think otherwise, and act accordingly
Judging from all the visible indications,
a majority of the democratic voters OF
Virginia sre in favor of free silver, and
wrong as they may be, and as they are,
according to disinterested people best
qualified to know, Southern democrats,
with either Reed or Mckinley as Pfesi-
dent, could not afford to divide, even ii
a majority of them were in favor O.
the coinage of lead, let alone silver.
Besides, the rule of the majority
is a fundamental principle of democ-
racy, and the i'll effect Of failing to be
governed by it is patent in Maryland
and Kentucky.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Cuban debate in the United
States Senate is drawing to a close, and
the expectation is that the final vote
will be taken in a day or two. Mr.
Sherman is keeping the question before
the Senate continuously, so that the
speeches are not likely to last much
longer. Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, oc
cupied almost the entire session yester-
day, speaking until six o'clock at night
in support ofthe resolutions. The SEN
ator recited many evidences OF the
atrocities with which Spain was prose-
cutting the war.
The House devoted the day to the
bill to amend the administrative tariff
act of 1890, and passed it without sub
stantial amendment. The purpose OF
the bill is to strengthen the act of 1880,
some weak spots having been develop
ed during the six years it has been in
operation, The bill was drawn after
extensive hearings and the advice and
assistance of the Treasury Department,
the board of general appraisers, i'm
porters and others with practical ex-
perincs on the subject. One of the
most important chnnges makes increas-
ed duties and penalties for uHdervalua-
ton, and not at ten per cent. above the
differentiation, as provided by the
present law.
The House committee on immigra-
ton made a favorable report on Rep
resentative W. A. Stones immigration
bill. The bill provides that no alien

Without certificate from United
States consul to the country from which

The cleveland democrats" in Ken
lucky were not as successful as those
ia Maryland. The latter did elect re-
publican q. S. Senator, but the former,
though they exerted their utmost efforts
to effect like object, failed, owing to
the refusal of republican, to whom
they had given a seat in the legislature
to which he knew he was not entitled,
