At a meeting Of the Georgetown Citi-
zens' Association last night the proposed
establishment of a public park IN that
section Of the city met with the unquali-
fed Endorsement OF a large number OF
| the representative business men, and
active steps were taken TO secure favor
able Congressional action at this session.
In announcing the purpose Of the meet
Ing President Smith Thompson. jT.. said
that the citizens of Georgetown had gel
| dom displayed more interest in a public
undertaking. as it was one which appeal
ed directly to each and every one. The
park. he declared, could be secured by the
united action Of those interested, and he
urged upon them the necessity Of making
a special effort to attain this end.
George A. King, a member Of the Board
of Trade, rehearsed the steps taken in
the last three years TO secure a park.
The matter, he said was fret brought to
public attention by a committee OF
women who. upon their own response
bility. went to the Senate committee on
the District OF Columbia and presented
the proposition. The members of the com
mittee were so fayorably Impressed with
| their arguments that on that very day,
disregaTding the usual routine IN such
cases, q bill for the establishment Of a
park was introduced. favorably reported
upon, and passed.
Stil Before the House.
The bill then went to the House com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds.
of which Representative Gillette, Of New
York, was at that time chairman
While Mr.. Gillette and other members of
the committee were favorabIy impressed,
the bill failed to pass owing TO numerous
similar appropriations that were made
that year. At the opening Of Congress in
December, 1875, the bill was again intro
duced into and passed by the Senate. and
has again been referred to the House
committee.
On the motion Of Archibald Greenlease.
the following committee was appointed TO
interview the joint committee Of the
House and Senate. which has the bill
under consideration, with the view OF urg-
ing early and favorable consideration:
George A. King. chairman: Archibald
Greenlease, Charles All Cragin, Dr. a
A. Snyder Capt Downs L. Wilson.
George A. Easterd3y, A II. Quigiey,
Thomas Hyde, and William A. Gordon
The members Of the association were re-
quested also as individuals to uze their
influence with the Congressional commits
sion, which consists of SsuCtors Scott.
GallingeT, and Blackburn. and Repre-
sentatives Bartholdt, Burleigh, and Bank
head.

Board Of Trade advocating the expedieBcy
OF not attempting to obtain any other
tracts until the joint committee had re-
ported on the bill relating to the Montrose

Aiken's popularity it was this love affair
now happily consummated."
Two modest little women, no longer
young. and dressed In black. after a par
ley with the dOorkeepeT, secured seats In
the reserved gallery.
"One of those women" remarked the
dcorkeeper, to a young girl who waited
her turn to enter the gallery, has been
coming here to my certain knowledge for
ten years. She is as faithful an attendant
AT the sessions Of Congress as ever was
the little old maid in Bleak House. who
went day after day, year in and year
out, TO the Court of Chancery waiting
for the case Of 'Jarndyce and Jarndyce'
to be settled. You remember the little old
lady, mlss?-heT name was Miss Flite.
Well, that little old woman" nodding his
head toward the gallery, IS what some
people call lobbyist, thoui;h she doesn't
do much lobbying any more. 1 believe
she has forgotten why she ever took TO
coming regularly to the Capitol. and that
1t is just a habit now. She knows every
Senator by sight and can tell you a lot
OF interesting stories; but they do say
she Is a little Dit off her head. Well, I
don't wonder at It. Many a poor creature
has been living in the hope OF some bill
passing Congress that is never going to
pass It; but while there Is life there's
hope you know. and the little old lady
In black has a mighty big fund Of pa
tience
The little old lady" in question did not
look at all disturbed that her particular
measure had never come up" for con-
sideratlon in Congress. She leaned for
ward in her seat and scanned the faces of
the Senator's. gave a light sigh. and re-
marked 20 her companion: 1T Is sad.

Foreigners are invariably interested in
the assembling of Congress. Yesterday
the diplomatic gallery showed a brilliant
gathering Of representatives from many
nations.
The Russian Ambassador is without
doubt the keenest Of the diplomats for
legislative debate. He listens attentiveiy
to everything that transpires in the Sen

technics Of Senator Tillman and the dis

Senators from Wisconsin, and followed so

FOR new CABINET
Part Of the Council Of the Empire
Now Demand Resignation Of
Present Ministry.
SITUATION IS IMPOSSIBLE.
shRewd Politicians Attempting to
Consolidate Different Elements
in observation-disclosures
Fatal to Court Faction.

st. Petersburg, June 25.--The COL
sentative centrist party in the connc
Of the empire, organized recently wit
the purpose Of attempting to supplan
the Goremykin ministry by cabine
chosen from the Octoberist, the demo
cratic reform and the constitutions
democratic parties, have Joined In thu
chorus demanding the resignation O
the cabinet. M. Yermoloff, formerly
minister Of agriculture, gave out an in
terview Sunday, saying the present sit.
uation is impossible, and that 1t is CIV.
ident If the actual ministry can do
nothing for the paciflcation OF the
country 1t should be replaced by cab.
met In which the more moderate ele-
ments of parliament are given places
The situation, M. Yermoloff added, is
80 tense that any attempt Of the ad-
ministration to array itself In open OPP
position to parliament can only result
In calamity and disaster.
M. Yermoloff, who is a shrewd pol
itician, has now nothing but honeyed
words for parliament, which, though
containing revolutionary elements, he
says Is the true reflection of the sen.
timent of the country, and evidently
he is laying wires and working for
connection between the majorities Of
the two houses of parliament under q
responsible ministry. He is thought to
have his eye on his old portfolio in |
such cabinet.
Though M. YermOloff and his party
in the programme published Sunday,
adhere to nominal opposition to the
general principle of appropriation
they concede the necessity Of satisfy.
ing the land hunger of the peasantry
and adopt the idea of the creation OF
local commissions for the solution Of
the problem in accordance with local
needs, thereby endorsing the principle
on which all factions In the lower
house-the constitutional democratsS
the Group of Toll, the Poles and the
conservatives-are tending to concen.
trate.
With regard to the Jews, M. Yermo-
loft believes the Semitic question can
be settled by the adjustment of the
pale and the granting Of equal rights
to Jews but he favors certain re-
in the purchase of land by
Jews, holding that 1t is necessary to
regard the sentiment of the Russian
which will be alarmed unless
this Is done.
M. Yermolohr laughed at reports Of
the dispersal of parliament which he
says would be not only fatuous but IA
al to the court factions. He expressed
confidence that the government would
loon be striving to effect an UNDER
Itanding with parliament.
Should the sentiment Of the Centrist
'arty be formally accepted by the
ouncil Of the empire It would be i'm
'ossible for Emperor Nicholas to dis
egard It.

Mr.. Watson Qnd.), then in the chair
and who sustained the point Of order
against the item, introduced the bill
which the house had under considera'
ton Wednesday.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala) demanded a
second, which was ordered, and a de-
bate Of 40 minutes ensued. Mr.. I'm
derwood asked IL the appropriation
was for the present president or future
presidents.
Mr.. Tawney replied that the aim was
to make 1t a permanent law, and that
with the passage Of this bill the point
of order against an appropriation car
ried by the sundry civil bill would not
lie.>
Mr.. Burke Cochran IN. ~ support
ed the bill, saying he was not willing
to make partisan matter out Of the
measure. Mr.. Cochran remarked that
the gentleman could not violate the
constitution of the United States If he
tried.
"There happens to be in the consti-
tuition the means Of asserting itself
against even the gentlemen Of the
house of representatives" he added.
Continuing, Mr.. Cochran said:
''The point wanted to submit to
the gentlemen of our side here and to
the entire house of representatives Is
this: That in the operation Of our con-
stitutional system the president has
become a great leader Of public
thought and public opinion quite as
much as a mere executive Of the laws
and If the circulation Of the president
throughout the country adds practic- i
ally in the direction Of improved leg
