Returning to Work.

Chicago, July 2l.-There was much
iOy exhibited in the packing house dis
trict today over the settlement of the ar
bitration dispute, and it was generally
conceded that the executive board of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
Union would tender to President Don
nelly the necessary approva al of his action
in framing the proposed terms which
allow of the strikers returning to work
at the same wages paid previous to the
strike pending elaboration. A special
meeting of the packing trades councils
has been called for tonight, to ratify
the peace agreement So soon as this
action is taken, the packers will be noti-
fed. From eleven cities where the strike
has obtained, and where members of the
executive board are located, have come
kilograms this morning to President
Donnelly, expressing approval of the
situation. At the yards many of the
strikers returned to work without wait
ing for the day set when all should re-
turn in body.
Chicago, July ga statement was
given out today by Edward Tilden, on
behalf of the packers. He says "In
the agreement reached last night, the
packers reserved the privilege Of retain
ing in their employ all employees hired
while the strike has lasted, this guran-
teeing to these men the fair treatment
they deserve, and gaining for the packers

A Royal Scandal.

Madrid, July 2l.-An unpleasant rev.
citation is causing trouble at the Span
ish court. The father OF King Alfonso
had two sons by the famous singer Ell
len SAM and wrote her several letters
admitting the paternity After his
death Queen Christina bought the let
ters and granted small annuity to the
bows. They are now respectively &c
and 10 years old, and have made de-
mand on King Alfonso for an increase
in their allowance, asserting that they
have further compromising letters which
they threaten to make public should
their demands not be granted. King
Alfonso is stated to be anxious to COM
promise any public action by granting
the original demands, but this course is
strenuously opposed by Queen Christina,
who insists that the youths receive nc
further financial aid. Both young mel
are declared to be remarkably like the
! late king.

left Port Said in charge of Russian
prize crew, and that this tact undoubted-
iy raised most serious question. he

The HnwardsvilIe Chapel.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette
Will you kindly add few lines as a
supplement to the friendly report in
your issue of last Monday, describing the
laying of the corner stone Of the Chapel
of the Holy Spirit, at Howardsville IN
Fairfax county. Your reporter naturally
did not know that the work of building
this chapel is being done gratuitcusly by
the skilled workmen of this neighbour
hood, and that they are therefore contrib
uting the larger share toward this un'
dertaking. To sign one shame toacheck,
toward an honorable purpose, is well
but to bend ones back day after day,
under the burning sun, is better, AMI
those who do the work are doing the
lions share. Reckoned by the day their
work, in its cash value, exceeds the most
liberal Of outside donations. NJ. NJ. A.

THERE Is a movement in Chicago TO-

Mikado and his armies. In the NUM-
cipality of Siguenza, today, a solemn
service of prayer for the success of the
japanese arms was held, which was at
tended by nearly all of the adult inhabi-
tants of the village. The bishop Of the
district celebrated mass. Similar services

To DAY is the 43d anniversary OF the
first battle of Bull Run, when the federal
army stampeded and fell back upon
Alexandria and the defenses of Washing
ton, and the U. s. gunboat Pawnee and
the brig Perry were hurried to this city,
it being believed the Confederate army
would follow up its victory by recaptur'
ing this place and moving on Washing
ton. Many Alexandrians have paic
the debt of nature since the thrilling
scenes incident to that day, although
there are numbers still in our midst who
were eyewitnesses of the retreat. People
of this city listened all day to the roar
of the battle, sounding as it did like an
approaching thunder storm. The out
come was not known until the next DAY
when the federals, footsore, weary, hun
CRY and bedraggled began to enter the city
A cold rain added to their SORROWS bu
mauy Alexandrians ministered to theil

THE FACT that the United States IRON

on,arent TO all observant people when
the expansion craze first developed in
this country. Millions were spent in
war which added another inefaceable
Flemish to American history and twenty
millions more we're paid for horde OF
Mongolians. many of whom never will
emerge from the savage stage and VINO
will ever be- drain upon this country.
Hardly had the ink become dry on the
treaty of Paris when the United states
had to expend enormous sums TO Keep
the Porto Ricans from starving to deatn'

THERE HAVE been many causes lot
disruptions in the church since the days
of the apostles, and it now appears that
sawdust plum buildings and lawn party
threaten to disrupt the Diamond Hill
Methodist Church at Mianus, Conn,
One faction of the church wants the lawn
marty with the sawdust plum pudding,
while the other objects. One Of the OPP
position claimed that it was too costly to
buy articles on the sawdust plum pud'
ding-grab- bag proposition. Rev. E. f.
Pipper. pastor of the church, is trying to
pour oil on the troubled waters. Mean
while tie Ladies Aid Society, in an ef-
fort to raise part of the minister's salary,
asked each of the sixty-three members
for SO each. All refused to subscribe
except thirteen. Because of the row
over the lawn party one-half the church
threatens to resign and Rev. Ripper Is
fearful that he will soon have a church
without congregation. He has sided
with the enc lawn party" faction. 1t il
the conviction of many that the church
errs in entering into worldly enterprises
for the purpose of raising money. The
church was not originally intended to en-
gage in the ice cream or oyster business
nor to attempt to attract people by lawn
parties and sawdust buildings.
