WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Senators
Quay and Penrose and Representative
Bingham of Pennsylvania called on
President Mckinley in the interest of
a pardon for Captain Hart, who is now

more with the President in conference
upon army matters. No important
news of any character had reached the
White House up to noon. The rumor

effect that Admiral SIMPSONS fleet had
been destroyed and the Admiral killed
was SO discredited that it did not Gre
ate the least excitement.
The President to-day informed Sena-
tor Daniel that the urgency of public
business would not permit him to ac-
cept his invitation to attend the Memo
rial Day ceremonies at Richmond.
1t was also stated that he had been

AT CAMP ALGER.
A Brilliant Military Parade Re-
viewed by the President.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-One of the
most brilliant military pageants en-
acted since the grand mustering-ou
parade of the Federal troops down the
streets of Washington at the close of

surrounding country to the camp
grounds near Falls Church. There
were 10000 troops in line.
The reviewing stand surmounted a
high hill overlooking the parade ground
of the Sixth Illinois. Troops were
massed in front of the parade ground.
Immediately on the arrival of the
Presidential party the line, 12O0O
strong, began moving. Troops A and
c, cavalry, acted as a general escort,
and did not participate in the review.
The Ninth Ohio (colored), detailed on
advanced picket duty, and the First
Rhode Island, which had just arrived,
did not participate.
The review lasted more than two
hours. The men passed the Preslden-
tial stand in company front, with arms
port. The appearance of each regiment
was followed by vociferous cheering.
Once well past the Presidential party,
the men fell in fours and executed a
double-quick to quarters.
Throughout the review the President
sat on a platform in front of the stand,
and beneath a. canopy of American COL
OrS with the Stars and StriDQS fiutter-
ing just back of him.
With few exceptions, the great
army of volunteers made an imposing
appearance. and the reviewing party
were highly pleased with the result.
