The Circus and It; Attractions.

John Robins0n's circus reached here
at an early hour this morning from
Westminster, Md, where performance
was given last night. The circus reach
ed here via the Washington-Southern
Railway. and the special train was run
on Formers switch, at st. Asaph juno
ton. where everything was disembarked
and sent TO the old fair grounds on up
Der King street. As has heretofore been
stated in these columns, the show Is
colossal-probably one of the greatest
on the road-and many witnessed the
afternoon performance. The exhibition
tonight, however, will attract the larger
crowd The weather has been clear,
crisp and cool-an ideal day for pageant
or other outdoor display-and the streets
during the morning hours were literally
thronged with people. King street
especially seemed to have shown more
animation than on other occasion since
the sesaui-centennial exhibition. Peope
surgel and jostled against each other
on the sidewalks, while small boys
and girls were perched upon piles
of vitrifed brick and in some in
stances were astradle Of limbs Of trees.
The square in front Of the circus tents
was packed with a sea Of humanity, and
lunch counters lined the curb. Pigs
feet, tripe, head cheese, fried fish, baked
beans, ginger bread in all shapes and
pies of ali sorts of composition were dis
played in profusion. 1t is said that
nearly every person in Paterson, n. j.,
quits work when a circus comes TO town.
1t looks like Alexandria had contracted
the fever. About eleven O'Clock the
procession formed. The music from the
the band wagons and the shrieks of the
calliope sent thrills through young and
old who were massed on the streets
several squares away in hopes the pa
geant was coming their way. SIAM
pedes were made toward nearly every
point of the compass in order to head off
the procession, but it seems to be as wary
as Stonewall Jackson, as those leading
it turned invariably into some street
where it was not expected. 1t eventual
" stretched out Prince street, where all
who chose had a good look at it. The
of opinion was that it was one
of the most Ella b Dra.e and interesting pa
rades ever seen in Alexandria. Many peo-
pie living in the surrounding country were
on the streets, as well as numbers from
who came here to see the
parade and circus. The public schools
were closed during the day.

No Bids.

The principal coal dealers informed
the clerk of the City School Bo ard that
they would not at this time subm it bids
for furnishing coal tor the public school
buildings, but that at Il later date, if
requested, they would do so. Their
reason is that on account of the miners
strike the coal market is in very un-
settled condition at this time, but that as
settlement of the strike is expected at an
early day, they may soon learn what
they will have to pay for coal and then
can be in better condition for them
selves, and for the School Board, to sub
nit bids for supplying the various build
inps

The President Selects Panama Route

The President Selects Panama Route.
The Senate the other day by a
majority of eight votes adopted the
Spooner substitute for the Hepburn
Nicaragua Canal bill, the vote on
the substitute being AZ to "a.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, voted
with the Republicans for the Pana-
ma route and Senators Quay and
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, voted
with the Democrats. Otherwise 1t
was almost party vote, the Demo
Gratis favor1ng the Nicaragua
route.
After two amendments to the
measure had been adopted, one pro-
viding for a commission to super
wise the construction of the canal
and the other providing for the is
suance of $50, 600, 900 of 2 per cent.
gold bonds to raise money with
which to construct the waterway,
1t was passed by vote of 81 to 6,
the votes in the negative being cast
by Messrs. Bate (Tenn.), Cockrell
(Mo.), Daniel (Va.), Dubois (Ida.),
Pettus (Ala.), Vest (Mo.)
1t has been evident for several
days that the Spooner substitute,
which in brief provides that the
President shall select the Panama
route if he can obtain a clear title
to the Panama Company's proper
ty, but, otherwise, he shall adopt
the Nicaragua route, would COM
mand the votes of majority of the

Temperance Men Have a Majority.

hPOA c"Ae0 nA0A law q MdJol1Uy'
1t is almost an assured fact that
the next General Assembly will
enact a law similar to the Peeler
bill, which was defeated in the Sen
ate of the last General Assembly
by the triumvirate. The leaders of
the antisaloon movement have been
taking counsel of some of the wis
est politicians in the State, and
acting on the advice secured from
them, have accomplished as much
as they hoped and all that they set
out to do. AS a result of their
quiet but effective efforts they have
secured the nomination OF seven
teen members of the Senate who
are pledged to support such 1egls-
lation as will promote the cause of
temperance, and there yet remain
several Senators to be nominated.
This number gives them one ma
jority, and with one or two more
which they hope to get, they will
have safe working majority in
the upper branch of the Legisla-
ture.
1t is figured by those who are in
a position to know that the anti
saloon men will have a clear ma.
Jority of five on the whole and a
majority of one in the Democratic
caucus. This will enable them to
organize that body, and should
nothing intervene to upset their
plans, Ed Seay, of Gallatin, will be
the Speaker of the next Senate. If
it becomes apparent that the anti
saloon forces have the majority
that they now claim, there will
hardly be candidate tor Speaker
from the other side in opposition to
Senator Seay.
Just what legislation will be en-
acted is not known, nor has it been
agreed upon thus far in advance of
the meeting of the General Assem-
bly,. A we'll known Democratic
who has an office at the
Capitol, said Saturday that he
thought, after conferences with the
leaders of the ant1-saloon forces,
that a bill would be introduced to
extend the four-mile law to towns
of 5000 inhabitants, giving such
towns the authority to abolish sa-
looms by popular vote, should they
so desire. He did not think that
this law would be extended to lar
ger towns. Nashville American.
