A correspondent of the Poplar

Lieut. Col. Clark has resigned,
and the cause of his resignation was
received by the men of the 9th and
the LIST battalion,' especially, with
much regret, and, in fact, keen
grief Not an officer in the regiment
was held in higher esteem by his
men; not ore OF US but what would
have gone through fire and brim
stone for Col. Clark. He was re
garded with the most profound re
Speet and affection by US boys. Il
was he who always came personally
30 our company streets and investi
gated in regard 10 our rations. He
always looked out for our comfort
and convenience 1t was 10 HIM q
man always went when a special
favor was wanted and not one of US
was ever turned down or treated
in any other manner but as man,
and with perfect fairness and justice.
And we all loved him like a brother,
in which light he was regarded more
than as q commander. No one ever
for moment thought of Col, Clark
as one to be feared or looked to him
rs tyrant or bigoted ruler, which.
sad to say. is too often the feeling
harbored by the private soldier to-
wards his commanders, from the
non commissioned officers TO the
colonel. He was one Of W, and we
grieysd to lose him.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The House sur
passed all previous records in the expe-
dition with which it passed the pension
appropriation bill.
The bin in days gone by has been one of
the most active themes of acrimonious
partisan debates, but to-day, although
carrying 100000 more than the act for
the current year, it was passed in twenty
minutes without word of criticism. The
bill carries $145, ,23S. $50.
Mr.. Allen of Mississippi, Dem, Of the
appropriations committee called attention
to the fact that when he first came to
Congress fourteen years ago, the pension
appropriation bill invariably precipitated
a bloody shirt discussion and congratu-
lated the country upon the fact that Con-
gress had progressed since then, and that
there would be no acrimonious discussion
on this bill. The country at last had the
gratifying Information that the pension roll
had reached the maximum.
"And congratulate the country for
this" said Mr.. Alien in conclusion, that
while one of the most gallant and des-
perate soldiers of the Confederacy (him-
selO helped to report this bin, the Presi-
dent of the United States is down in Dixie

all have cause to rejoice" daughter and
applause.j
The House then entered upon the con-
sideration of the bill to Incorporate the
| International American Bank. This pro-
ject was represented by the Pan-Ameri-
can Congress in 1889. An arrangement
was effected for vote upon the passage
of the bill at O'clock tomorrow. 1t was
supported in debate to-day by Messrs.
Brosius, Republican, Pennsylvania; Ad-
