BRIEF SESSION OF HOUSE.
General GrOsvenor Sets Himself Right
Before Democrats.

WASHINGTON, April 19-The House pre-
scented a most desolate appearance when it
convened at noon, after the weary all~night
session. While the journal was being read
Mr.. Hager CRep., Ia.), chairman of the COM
mittee on enrolled bills, brought in the
Cuban resolutions, which had been enrolled
under his personal direction. The speaker
Immediately signed them and. soon as the
reading of the journal was concluded at
1916 p. M, he announced his signature
There was no demonstration. The enrolling
clerk at his side seized the resolutions and
hurried with them across to the Capitol.
Mr.. Grosvenor then, as question of per-
sonal privilege, had read at the clerks desk
an editorial in a New York paper comment
ing on his statement in, the House on April
that This war will be fought under the
banner of the Republican administration of
this government or it will not be fought at
all Mr. Grosvenor explained the circum-
stances under which the statement was
made. He had been delighted with the rec
ord the Democratic party had made. and
in the statement he had only meant that
as the present administration had three
years to run the war which was upon us
must be fought during it's life or not at all.
he had meant no reflection and had APP
pealed to both sides of the House to stand
by tine eXecutive,~who had been assaulted.
In TINS connection, concluded Mr.. GroS-
venor, Il desire to say / believe this war
will be energetically waged, both in a mill
tary sense and in the legislation necessary
to carry it on. and believe the response
to the call to arms will be. unanimous.
There will be political division. 1t will
come from Democrats and PopuliStS as well
as from Republicans, and especially do /
believe the response to patriotism will come
from every Southern State and that the
whole Union will share the triumphant echo
of loyalty" Great applause,0
Mr.. Dingley stated that, in view of the
fact that the House had been sitting all
night and that the members were weary,
he would move to adjourn. Accordingly,
at 1872 p. M, the House adjourned.

Jealous of Their Rights.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, April 19--Ad-
jutant General Bell of Missouri. president
of the Interstate Association National
Guard, tonight sent out letters to the adj
jutant generals of all the States, in which
he says. Events of grave Importance con-
front the citizen soldiery known as the
National Guard. Great care should be ex-
ercsed TO subdue any feeling toward thet
regular army They have their functions
TO perform under the Constitution of the
United states. Constant vigilance should
prevail to prevent the uSurpation of rights
Vouchsafed to the National Guard by statu-
tory enactment. The National Guard have
claims that should be respected by the fed
eral government. Many of the officers and
men have devoted the best part of their
lives to prepare them for actual service, de-
fraying this necessary expenses from their
personal funds. The National Guard or
ganiZation costs the federal government
less per capita than the bulwark of any
ton on earth. Doubtless this is fully APP
preciated by those in authority, and when
the call for emergency volunteers is made
upon the Governors of our respective States
let the organizations be rendered intact as
formed and trained by the officers best
fitted by practice and experience to COM
n,and, who possess the absolute confidence
of the rank and file, and who are ready for
any emergency.

dent Concerning n measure.
WASHINGTON, April 10. Chairman
Dingley of the House ways and means COM
mttee, had a few minutes conference with
the President to-day. 1t is believed a war
revenue bill will be presented at once to
the House as soon as hostilities actually
begin. Provisions for a war loan also will
be made in the next few days. 1t is thought
that the secretary of the treasury will be
authorized to solicit popular subscriptions
to loan of probably 500, OOO, 900. The public
will be reached through postmasters, who
viii post notices in their offices giving all
OF the details that the general public would
be interested in knowing. The subscriptions
to this as O rule would be made by means
OF postoffice money orders or certified
checks. The same act, it is thought. will
authorize an additional issue of $500 100000
in per cent. coin bonds running for a
period Of twenty years. Although these are
said 10 be the main features of the propo-
sition, the full details have not yet been
worked out, and in the discussion of the
measure by the committee it is not unlikely
that important changes may be made, even
in the general plan
