WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
Some idea of the panic ex-
listing in administration cir
cles, or account of the pros
pect of republican defeat in
the Congressional campaign,
may be had from Boss Han
mas estimate, after going
over all the information in
the possession of the Repub-
lican Congressional Commit.
tee, that it would require Il
fund of $2,OO0,O00 to elect a
Republican majority of the
next House. Hanna is chair
man of the National Com
mittee, and under ordinary
conditions, would have moth
ing to do with the Congress
sional campaign. But exis-
ting conditions are not ordl-
nary. On the contrary, they
are extraordinary, from Mr..
McKinIey's view Chairman
.Babcock, of the Congression-
al committe, told Mr.. McKin
ley that he considered the
fight already lost. Then
Hanna was telegraphed for
and asked if no could not
save the House for his party
He decided that it would
take $2.O00.0O0 to do it,
and made out q list of men
who must put up that a.
mount. They are the same
men who furnished him the
money he used 80 lavishly
two years ago, and already
they are being personally
waited upon and made come
down again, some of them BY
Hanna himself and others BY
his agents.
Col. W. j. Bryan, who hal
been confined to his bed BY
an attack OF malaria, is nov
much better, and expects t;
return to his regiment afte1
a short stay in the Virgini,

during his stay ins Washing

A GARD OF THANKS.

On this, the first day of the new year, ]
wish to tender my heartfelt thanks to the
public for the generous patronage which
they have given me during the past year.
As I stand ON the threshold Of the new
year and look back over the past, / can
lind In my heart only gratitude toward
you, the citizens of Lexington, for the
more than liberal support which you have
given me. / have tried to treat every one
fairly and honestly In dealing with them,
and II any harsh feelings have been caused
through any misunderstanding, l trust
the time of "Peace on earth; good will
toward men," will have served to forever
erase them from memory's walls. Aided
by your support, i have been enabled to
largely increase my stock of goods, and to
start in the rooms above my store q candy
factory. This has been only possible to
me through your help, ADD for which !
sincerely thank you. With your continued
patronage I hope to be able to increase
the size and output OF my now small fac
tory until We shall see the little kitchen
grows into a large factory, giving support
to men and their families, and taking
rank with the many other important IN
dustries of our city.
Again thanking you for past ~favors, and
trusting to merit a continuance OF the
same, ! am,
Very Respectfully Yours.
B. HoNIe.

the soldiers who have gone out in the
three regiments TO the war are mere
boys. Only 1913 per cent. OF the SOL
diers are minors who required the
consent Of their parents or guardians
TO their enlistment. The total strength
OF the three regiments is about 3,07S
men, 1,026 being the maximum num-
Der allowed TO regiment, and all the
regiments being filed to that number.
or close to il. The number Of con-
sents Of parents or guardians on file is
3S2, which is a trife below 121a per-
cent. Of the whole number of men.
Capt. Buck, the muster officer, said,
that though he had not investigated
the matter, he was Of the opinion
that from about 10 to Is per cent. OF
the men were minors. The count OF
the consent papers which followed
showed that he made very close guess
OF the facts. From these figures it
appears that fully seven-eighths Of the
members Of the three regiments are
men. Their ages range from q to 40
years, none but officers being taken
above the age Of 40.

Madrid, May 21.-The ministers Of
the new cabinet in full uniform ap-
peared in the senate Friday. Owing
to circumstances the new cabinet is
already nicknamed the ''circumstantial
cabinet" The premier, Senior Sagasta,
explained the ministerial crisis and as
serted that the new ministry will con-
tinue the policy of the former ministry
This" the premier continued, lis a.
strong policy and the new government
will also theoretically conduct nego-
tiations with European and other
states" Count Penaramiro proposed
the senate's congratulations to Admiral
Cervera on his arrival safely at Santi-
ago de Cuba, 'cleverly lodging the
American squadrons." Captain Aunon
minister Of the marine, responded in
the name of the navy, highly extolling
AdmlraI CerVera. The congratula-
lions were voted unanimously.
In the chamber Senior Sagasta re-
peated his senate speech. Senior Silve-
la, leader Of the dissident conserva-
tives, replied that his section of the
conservative party approved of the
policy announced by Senior Sagasta
and would support the new cabinet.
Senior Robledo, leader of the Weyler-
tie faction, presented an Interpolation
maintaining that the old government
was in crisis from the very declar-
alton Of war and if the present were
continuation of the policy of the
old cabinet, then the present cabinet
also was in a crisis. All sides of the
house received this with merriment.
Senior Robeldo then asked Senior Ga
mazo, minister of public works, to
disclose his individual opinion and say
how far he endorsed the ministerial
policy of the reconstructed cabinet, in
sistfng that if the present were a con-
tinuation Of the former policy, then
Senior Gamazo, unless he had thrown
over his former theories, ought to be
in opposition. Senior Gamazo replied
that without abandoning his politi
cal ideas, ne accepted the Office pa
triotically and would carry out the
government program irrespective of
his own personal theories. Senior Sa-
gasta explained that the cabinet
changes were due to the fact that sew
eral ministers were ell and extremely
fatigued after the recent anxieties. -
Later Senior Sagasta promised a day
to debate the red book"
