COMMUNICATED
Ethics and the Boat Club.

Several interesting meetings Of the
Old Dominion Boat Club held recently
resulted in the expunging from the con-
stitution certain restrictions as TO the
use of the boats on Sunday The sur
prise is that they were ever inserted.
The change, however, was combated
stubbornly by an element who, though
no doubt sincere and conscientious, were
somewhat intolerant in their view rs TO
what is right and what wrong to do on
Sunday. Claiming that it was less
sinful to ride and drive on Sunday than
to row boat, those who differed with
them maintained that if one was wrong so
was the Other-a mere difference of
routes to heaven or hell, by water in q
boat or over land in buggy. In these
discussions young men generally sup
posed 10 be, to say the least, Indifferent
to the subject of religion, displayed
knowledge of ethics that would have
astonished the most profound student of
theology out on the Gill;" and would
have deligted the ears of the most as
cetic "anchorite" that ever said his
prayers in a monastic cell. 1t was
finally voted that the boats could be
used on Sundays after two o'clock-an
admirable arrangement, as it allows the
boys an opportunity first to attend fam
lily prayers, teach their Sunday school
classes and to attend church afterwards.
With clear consciences they go down to
the boat house, launch the boat and row
upon the glistening waters of the old
Potomac.

Double Shooting.

New York, April 26.-The unrequited
love of rough sailor man was the cause
of double shooting in Brooklyn today,
which may result in the death OF
Adeline Buttner, an actress, and her
lover, Gustav Singbush, a sailor. Sing
bush spent his years at sea and his
times ashore have been few and far be-
tween. Recently he came ashore and
with party of friends visited the At
lantic Garden, in Hoboken. There the
singing and dancing of Miss Buttner
enthralled him, and his fascination led
him behind the scenes, where he intro
duced himself to Miss Buttner. The
attentions of her new friend were not
repulsed and Singbush was assiduous
in his wooing. Last night he met sew
eral of his former shipmates along the
river front, and they told him that the
actress did not care for him and that he
was being made fool of. Singbush
started for Brooklyn and reaching Miss
Buttner's house this morning knocked
at the door. She answered the sum-
mons. Singbush whispered to her for
a few seconds, and then springing back
drew a pistol. "You say thatY' he
cried. Miss Buttner tried to run but
the sailor fired, the ball entering the
left shoulder. Singbush then turned
the weapon upon himself. Physicians
say that the condition of both is serious.

Marking Confederate Graves.

An interesting piece legislation Is now
on the House calender, and will likely be
considered at no distant date. This is
the bill which the Senate passed some
days ago. 1t was recently reported to
the House by Representative Prince from
the committee on military affairs. The
measure provides for the marking of the
graves of the soldiers and sailors of the
Confederate army who died in Northern
prisons and were buried near the prisons
where they died. The bill was also re-
ported during the last session of Con-
gress, but failed to pass before adjourn
ment.
The report shows that something like
80, 1852 Confederate soldiers and sailors
died in Northern prisons during the war.
At Camp Douglas, Illinois, 1883 priso-
ners died. A large part Of these ], 442
were unknown. Other prisons where
hundreds of Confederate prisoners died
we're at Alton, I'll. Camp Chase,
o., Camp Morton, Ind. Elmira,
n. Y; Fort Delaware, Del. /; Point
Lookout, Md, and Rock Island, ILL.,.
Nearly 1000 of these unfortunate wear
ers of the Southern gray were unknown.
The bill proposes to place neat head
stone over the graves Of each of these
Confederates, and as far as possible the
names regiments companies ant dates OF
death in each case. 1t is estimated that
it will take something like 5000 600 to
do the work.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Whether the President shall order the
construction of the battleship provided
for in the naval appropriation bill or
wait until the war in the far East dem
oustrates the comparative utility of the
big sea fighters and the torpedo boat OF
submarine craft was a question raised in
the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Hale, Of
Maine, on the adoption of the confer
ence report. 1t was developed that the
language of the bill vas permissive, and
that the President and the Secretary OF
the Navy could defer action if they deem
it advisable. Mr.. Hale declared that if
he were Secretary Of the Navy he should
not dare to go on now and commit the
government to the building of an i'm
mense battleship, for it would not sur
prise him if events of the Russian-Jap-
anese war demonstrated that the $780,
900, 900 paid for battleships was a bad
investment for this government. Several
Senators counseled delay until the ques-
ton of the best craft for sea fighting had
been brought TO an issue.

Roosevelt which the President didn't do.
A complete agreement has been reach
ed between the House and Senate con-
ferees on the post-ofice appropriation
bill. There were seventy-one amendments

bill made by the Senate of SO, 263, 1872.

Site of Peace Monument.

Representative Gibson, Of Tennessee,
yesterday introduced a joint resolution
instructing the House committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds to inquire and
report as to the propriety of remov-
ing the "Peace" Monument from its
place at the west front of the Capitol to
the National Cemetery at Arlington, or
to the grounds of the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, for the purpose of using the
present site of the monument for the pro-
posed monument to Abraham Lincoln.
The resolution recites that this monument
was erected to the officers, seamen and
marines of the United States navy who
fell in defense ofthe Union and liberty
of their country in lS6l-1S65 that it is
popularity called the "Peace Monument"
and generally supposed to represent the
reconciliation of the North and South,
and that "this misnomer of the monument
and this perversion of the purpose of its
erection is derOgatory TO the officers, sea-
men and marines in whose memory and
honor it was erected.

Eire i'm London.

London, April 26.-The fire which
started in the freight warehouses of the
London & Northwestern Railway, at
Aldgate, at midnight last night defed
the fire brigade until late this morning.
Early this morning the blaze spread to
the great vaults Of wine and other spirits
in the warehouses and the flames became
6ercer than ever. For a time it looked
as though Holy Trinity Church, famous
because of the connection of the family
of George Washington with it, would
catch fire, but the iremen were finally
able to control the blaze and confne it
to the warehouses. The fire was one of
the costliest the London brigade has
had TO cope with in many years. The
loss will amount to $500, 900.

Watson and Cleveland.

In the House yesterday Mr.. Hard
wick GA had read letter from Thomas
Watson, Of Georgia, repeating his charge
that ex-President Cleveland had favored
mixed schools; that he had appointed a
negro-C. II. J. Taylor-minister to
Bolivia, and that ne had included Fred
Douglas in the list of guests at a recep-
ton closely following his wedding.
Mr.. Watson in his letter said he
wished it read in the interest of fair
play, Gin order that it shall be known
upon what | based my statements which
Mr.. Cleveland so insultingly denied"
To offset this Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.) put
into the record published letter from
Mr.. Watson, in which Mr.. Watson, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bartlett, admitted that
he was not democrat. He did this, he
said, so that "Watson no longer would
masquerade before the people of Georgia
as a returned democrat"

JUDGE GRosSCUP, of Chicago, says
that the solution of the trust question
is only to be found in the formation Of
a new political party. He says this
party should have a settled policy with
regard to the great corporations of the
country thatit should recognize that the
corporation is here to stay and cannot
be driven out by "mad dog policy
that it must demand that the capitalize.
ton of corporation shall represent its
assets; and that it must compel the
subsection of all corporations TO govern
ment supervision. Judge Grosscup has
summed up the matter with his custom
airy clarity, but he fails to justify his
conclusion that new political party is
needed. The democratic party stands for
all that he suggests and as it is the party
of the people will in time bring about
the desired end.

lieved she had been hypnotized, that she
did not love her husband and had no

to cast a spell over her. A note received

that she was going to the Allegheny
mountains to escape the life Of mockery
she was living. 1t is thought she is be-
ing cared for by friends of Mould to
