mittee this morning in an attempt to
obtain action on his bill to fix the price
Of gas in the District of Columbia at 10
cents a thousand cubic feet.
There was rather a lively time for a
while. which wound up with the adop-
ton of a resolution instructing the sub
committee on education. labor and char
tiles, OF which Representative Olcott of
New York is chairman. and to which
the gas bill had been referred, to con-
slider and report on it at once. with the
alternative that unless this was done the
subcommittee would be discharged and
the full committee would pass on the
proposition.
Cary Complains Of Many Things.
Mr. Cary called attention to the fact
that his bill had been referred to the
subcommittee in question and demanded
to know what education. labor and chart
ties had to do with the price of gas.
Sometimes there Is a lot of gas about
those subjects suggested Representative
Wiley Of New Jersey.
But Mr.. Cary didn't seem In the mood
for pleasantries. He told Chairman Smith
that he had served notice on Chairman
Olcott OF the subcommittee that unless
action were had on his bill at once he
would move the discharge of the subcom-
mittee.
He proceeded to do this, first demanding
why the bill had not been referred to one
of the two subcommittee of which he
was a member.
II am on the interpretations subcom-
mittee," he said. IF the subcommittee
to which this bill would have been re-
ferred in natural course is SO busy that

President Writes Of Insurgents.

The White House today declined to
make public a letter the President has
written to Lucius B. Swift of Indianapolis
one Of his correspondents. relating to the
insurgent situation In Congress and to the
attacks upon Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Cannon. Fragments OF the letter have
become public. owing to some things the
President has said to callers and owing to
some talking that has been done by Mr.
Swift.
According to the reports, the President
fears that the outcome Of insurgency will
be the election OF a democratic House in
November. and he does not hesitate to
speak by name OF some of the insurgent
leaders Besides handing the leaders and
the cause Of insurgency q few hot
punches. the President. II IL declared,
praises both Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Cannon for the work they have done for
the country and In behalf OF their party.
Dispatches from Indianapolis say that
Mr.. Swift also declines to make the letter
public. saying that 1t Is marked per
sonal," and Is, therefore. confidential. He
will not admit that there Is either de-
nunciatton Of the insurgents or praise OF
Aldrich or Cannon.
The letter. II has become known. was
written less than two weeks ago. There
are fears that, II the contents become

To Honor General Darke.

The long delayed recognition of the pa
triotic service of General William Darke
who lies buried on the farm OF the Rome
nous heirs near Shenandoah Junction, in
this county, has come at last. Last week
two granite pieces ordered by the War
Department arrived at the Junction, and
will be erected to mark the last resting
place of this hero of Revolutionary fame,
whose grave has been neglected, save for
the care some of his descendants have
given it. General Darke, who won fame
as commander in the war for American
independence, was killed in battle with
the Miami Indians in 1901, when he was
65 years old. His body was brought to
his plantation, near what is now Shenan-
doah Junction, for burial. II has been
proposed, and the proposition has met
with favor wherever advanced, that the
p. o. s. of A. lodges of the county join in
some appropriate ceremonies at the grave
of General Darke on Washington'S birth
day, February 22d, when the graye-stones
shall be placed in poSition.-Advocate.
After considering the advisability OF
demonstration on February 22d, it has
been decided, because of the uncertainty
OF the weather at this season, TO defer the
exercises until date the. coming spring,
to be announced later. James w. Nc
Garry, OF Shenandoah Junction, has been
appointed to confer with the relatives OF
General Darke the Engles and others
and enlist general interest in the cere-
MONIES.
BY the way, we think that the Advocate
is in error in regard to General Darke be-
ing killed by Indians in Ohio. II was his
son, who was desperately wounded at
Cincinnati and brought as far as Cumber-
land, where he died. The body was
brought to the burying ground near the
Junction and inferred beside that OF his
father. General Darke, we are informed,
died in 1901 near Charles Town, and was
buried in the old graveyard. 1t is said
that he was the first magistrate appointed
for Jefferson county.

Upon his brow there rested
No trace OF earthly pain.
