The Schley Resolutions.

Washington, Feb. 28.-Represent.
alive Mudd, OF Maryland, 10 the
House committee on naval affairs this
morning moved that the commit t &c
take away FROM the ub.commit.ee the
consideration of the resolution giving
Admiral Schley the thanks OF Congress.
The resolution was lost by vote Of
9 to 5. This indicates that the reso-
luton will probably die in the hands
of the subcommittee. The republicans
who voted against relieving the SUBJ
commit zee, or, in other words, against
bringing the Schley controversy before
the House, were Dayton, Loudens-
lager, Butler, Bull, Watson, Cousins,
Taylor, and Roberts. Representative
Foss, chairman of the committee, WAS
absent, paired with Representative
Rixey, Vandiver was absent, not
paired; Meyer voted with the republl.
cans and Mudd with tle democrats.
The democrats who voted on the other
side were Cummings, Tate, w.
Kitchen, and Wheeler. MIR. Mudd
then moved that the committee report
another resolution, which he pre-
sented, which eliminated the question
OF command ct Santiago, and gives
the thanks OF Congress to Schley and
all those who participated with him.
The debate on the subject was an
angry one, but failed Of its purpose.
Mr.. Meyer moved to postpone action
until March Is, and, pending this
motion, a motion by Mr.. Cummings
to adjourn was carried by vote OF
to 5, Cummings voting 10 the affirm
alive with tho republicans aud Mudd
in the negative with the democrats.
The general belief prevails in Con-
eress that this drives the last nail into
the coffin OF the Sohley controversy.

THE WARN RAINS and. thunder and light
ming which prevailed today are generally re-
garded as hsrbingers Of an early spring. The
thunder clsps are said to arouse the ophidlan
creation, terrspihs, frogs, &c, from their
winters Information, and bring about the ad-
vent OF migratory f'a in the river. There
will doubtless be more cold weather before
the bluebirds chirp heresbouts, but that there
will DO any more general freeze is unlikely.
We have passed through long winter, snow
and ice having existed for nearly two months,
most of which time the river has been closed
to sailing vessels. The embargo has been
lifted at last and the river trent will soon
assume its normal condition. Let ell hope
the coming spring and summer will witness
the rebuilding Of certain waste places and
that the port Of Alexandria may again be-

their faith somewhat shaken at least
when they read that during coroner's

of the sudden death Of Mrs. Mary
Ogden, it developed that her son had
cut off the hair of the dead woman,
aud had planned to sell 1t to buy

the founder Of democracy, the advocate

above all, the author Of the Declaration
of Independence. 1t had become en-
tirely out Of place 10 this day of q new
sort OF policy. Mr.. Mckinley, on the
contrary, was the President under
whose administration imperialism"
had its origin, and the giving Of the
