An Outing at Jefferson's Island.

Some of the young gentlemen oil
West End treated their girl friends
to most delightful picnic at Jeffer.
sons Island on Friday last. The
merry party left town at about 5 A.
M. and arrived at the picnic
grounds at about seven O'Clock.
Oh! how delightful and refreshing
was that drive at SO early an hour
IN the morning! After all were
safely landed in the woods Of the
Island, each one began to think,
what would be the next enjoyment.
Some started for a ramble in the
woods IN search of that delicious
fruit, dew berries; while others
repaired to the shores Of the beauti-
III and sparkling Lake, where they
bus!ed themselves for hours IN
catching fish.
After spending a most pleasant
and gala day, all were ready to
start for home; tired but happy
crowd.
The Fridays outing will long be
remembered by all those who par
ticipated IN the pleasures.

the Chattanooga Times "He
served four years straight, and
never went home. He was IN thirty
battles and hundred small Affairs
the battles being such as Chlcamau-
ga, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness,
and that kind of fighting. He was
several times slightly and twice
desperately wounded, once having
his ribs crushed in one entire side.
Robertson was in the command

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May IF con-
fidence in himself and in the bill
he advocates could of itself win,
Senator Morgan would succeed in
getting the Nicaragua canal bill,
which was passed in the House
last week, through the Senate at
the present session; but it will re-
quire votes, which the exigencies
Of politics, or at least the will of
political leaders, have placed be-
yond Senator Morgan's reach.
Senator Allison stated the case in
nutshell when he said, speaking
for the majority: 1--WE want to adj
iourn in six weeks or less time,
and we cannot permit new legisla-
ton to be brought forward and
thus probably prolong the session
beyond the time we have deter
mined upon bringing it to a close"
The talk of a few senators makes
| it reasonably certain that the
Clark resolution will not be voted
upon in a hurry, and there is a
possibility that it may not devoted
upon at thepresent session.
Seeing no probability Of early
action on the Nicaragua canal
treaty by the Senate, Secretary
Hay and the British ambassador
have signed an agreement extend
ing the time in which notifications
of the treaty may be exchanged
seven months from August 5 next.
The Senate, by a vote of A to 8,
declared it's approval of the
clause of the army reorgan-
l1zation bill providing that the
senior major commanding
the army shall have the rank and
nav Of a acknowledgement, and
approved without a division the
clause providing that the adjutant-
general Of the army shall have the
rank and pay of a major general
Although no names are used, ey-
erybody understands that these
promotions are intended for Gen.
Miles and Gen. Corbin, two OH
GERS who have little love for each
other, and who have been on op;
posite sides of every army contro-
lyersy connected withthe war with
Spain. The army reorganization
bill also provides for an increase
Of 100 in the number OF cadets at
West Point, two from each state
and ten at large; also for an IN
crease in the artillery branch O
the regular army. The curious
thing about this legislation is thai
only a week ago Senator Jones, q
Arkansas, publicly stated that tne
minority would allow none Of II e
get through the Senate. Tht
minority apparently underwent
change Of mind.
| Ben Butler once said that Con
gress had never enacted alaw ina

important law passed that did not
have to be followed by legislation
to wipe out flaws or fill gaps9 AL
though the bill providing form
of government for the territory of
Hawaii was before Congress for
months, tits far from being even a
reasonably perfect law, and addi-
tional legislation must b. had be-
fore the law goes into effect. The
new law failed to provide for a
collector of customs for Hawaii,
although it establishes four ports
of entry; it leaves a doubt as to
the authority of Secretary. Gage
to pay the Hawaiian public debt
as provided by the annexation
treaty; also as to the right OF the
acknowledgement to extend the
postal laws to the island without
further legislation. One OF the
things that Congress ought to have
is thoroughly bill editor, whose
sole duty it should be to go care
fully over every bill before final
vote is taken upon it and report
whether it is properly drawn to
accomplish what it is intended to
accomplish. Whether there is a
man living fitted for such a posi-
ton is an open question.
1t is daily becoming more doubt
full whether the Senate Committee
on Elections will make a report on
the Joint Resolution passed by the
House providing for a Constltu-
tional amendment for the election
of Senators by direct vote of the
people. The subject was discussed
at the last meeting Of the Commit
tee but the talk did not indicate
early action.
The investigation by the House
Military Committee Of the use OF
Federal troops in Idaho, in con-
nection with the mining labor
troubles, which has been going on
nearly three months, closed to-
day. 1t is practically certain that
the Committee will make two re-
ports, the majority justifying the
use of Federal troops and the de-
claration of martial law by the
government, and the minority con-
demning both. It is also probable
that the division in the Committee
will be on political lines.
Senator Teller believes that the
Senate is becoming too undignified
during it's business sessions, and
he took occasion to impress thai
belief upon the minds OF his col
leagues by these plain words: awe
have reached a point where order
must be maintained in the Senate
and the noise which has become SC
prevalent in this Chamber must
cease"
Delegations continue to come t6
Washington for the purpose OF ar
guing for the repeal Of this or that
portion of the stamp taxes, al
though it is perfectly well under
stood in Congress that nothing
will be done until next winter. II
