Then the heart of the dispenser of tangle- foot changed item tion and he demanded " money. Sergeant Joyce took hit into his confidence aud related the facta, Inside of thirty seconds thereafter the despoiled man had rowed back to his store boat with his tale of woo. The liquor was turned over to a guard aud the case reported to headquarters. Gen. Ordway, who acrived at camp some time later, said he would stop that illicit whisky business or break a trace, or words to that effect.

The saying is that every man in his life eats a peck of dirt. If that is true the members of ‘Troop A are curiosities in the way of humanity, for if each individual man on that ride down from Washington did not swal- low a bushel of dust, why the Sran_ representative swallowed it for bim and kept up the quota. Dust! It wasn’t dust; it ‘was a thickened atmosphere, composed of flying particles of dried dirt. ‘It stayed with the boys all the way down with a wonderful and complimentary tenacity. It introduced itself to their notice when in the city limits and bade them a lingering and reluctant fare- well as the camp itself. Each trooper carried away mementoes in the way of aiatogt dust in their hair and clothes, and it is a moral impossibility for some of Troop A to ever entirely get rid of the effects of that ride. Their complexions are —per- manently darkened. Outside of the dust, however, the ride down by the cavalry was a pleasant one in every way. ‘The weather wascool and no unpleasant incidents marred the pleasure. Capt. Barbour and his officers deserve great credit for the way the entire march was managed. THE SUNDAY MORNING ASSEMBLY. The members of cavalry troop A had orders to be ready to leave by 6 o'clock Sunday morning, j and about this time their armory on New York avenue was a seene of confusion, which seemed to be endless, Half-fitted-out troopers wero rushing around in a distracted manner looking for rdditioual or lost eqnipments, horses were stamping and pawing impatiently in front of the building, while through all the confusion Quartermaster Sergeant Rennie kept his head, and after answering numberlese questions finally euc- cceded in getting the troop in line with their equipments allin order. A roll call showed the presence of thirty-nine men, cou the officers, aud with that number Capt. Barbour BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE. Doubts About the Fate of the Original Package Bili—Other Measures. There is much doubt about the vote in the House on the “original package” bill. This bill was among those slated to pass before the close of the session, but so much doubt has been aroused in the minds of mem- bers as to what the effect of the measure might be; how far-reaching its application might prove, that members aro having difii- culty in deciding what is best to do. ‘she Senate bill is objected to because it is special legislation applying to but one article of commerce, The House substitute is de- igned to meet this objection by making the pill apply to articles of commerce indefinitely, WHAT PROVOKES OPPOSITION. This suggests the possibility of certain states taxing the products of other states by some clever application of the law. The e people, the manufacturers of Sieopreded ard, the, dromed-bect poopie, all none interested in the compound or some special method of preparation of an article whieh comes into competition with some other article of — com- meree in some other state fear lest this Dill may operate to their injury. This pro- i yokes a pretty strong opposition to the bill as reporte by the House committee and = greatly confuses the situation, H it looks now as if the House bill would path abel and either the Senate bill passed or the whole matter be allowed to fail DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL, Mr. McComas will press the conference re- port on the District appropriation bill for adop- tion in the House this week, after the time the bankruptcy and the original are Wee aceek.

Strict discipline and the pretticst kind of merching marked the progress of the bold troopers through the city. Some members, however, could not be restrained even city limits, thinking prob- by the ably that connoiseurs of military tactics would hardly be about the streets at 7 o'clock in the morning. Several members of the com- pany as usual were an irresistible source of attraction for the hastily, and, in many cases, scantily robod members of the feminine sex who appeared at second-story windows at the sound of clattering hoofs and jingling sabes, Cheers wore given the troop by the newsboys and early risers on the street and gayety and merriment prevailed, IX THE Dust, = =* All this was, however, soon changed.

The troop with all its accessories and para- | phernalia was an imposing spectacle about this | time, even dust begrimed as they were. In & goneral way the company marched in | files of two with Captain and | the two bugiers in front, behind came the am- | bulance wagon, which accompanied the cavalry on their trip down; a light — the eta watering cart, and thereby hangsa THE WATERING CaRT, as has already been stated in Tur Stan, is ex- | ceedingly dear to the heart of the company.

This did not add to the bewuty of the beverage, but did not detract from the taste. ‘The liquids were, however, looked ou with suspicioa and few had the nerve to try it. If WAS TOO BLACK FOR THE.

From lack of time the kind offer was declined, After lunch rest pure and unadulterated was the order of the day for half an hou. The cavalry troop have a very foxy captain, as was shown to the disgust and dismay of fifteen unfortunate individuals dur- ing the dinner hour. A number of members of the comp: cause or another lost a considerable amount of sleep Saturday night. This fact was mentioned to the captain, probably with the view of mov- ing his tender heart, so that the men might be allowed to tall out a little oftener than would usually be allowed, but these trusting guardsmen little knew or, as they say in novels, recked their captain's high moral nature and Brutus’ ideas of justice, for each and every confiding cavalryman was named as the guard for the coming night. Capt. Barbour says he is given to this sort of thing and it arises from his untiring efforts to perfect the morality of his command. He does not believe in late hours, and if members of his troop are unfortunately given to the habit he believes in giving them all the night serv- ice they could possibly desire. ‘Ihe members of company A. however, will be very chary during camp in letting the captain know of any late hours, IN SADDLE AGAIN. Many a heartfelt sigh went up when the call for saddling sounded after dinner. The entire population had tarned out to do honor to the visitors, and as the troop filed off a mighty cheer ‘aroge from the five boys and one man leaning up against the fence. The afternoon ride Was hardly as dusty the morning's, the route leading for considerable spaces through shaded woods, ‘dhe next stop was on asimple road, There was notacider dispensary in sight, but still the stop was marked by a meeting. Several guardsmen felt a yearning for milk, and they Rot it, too, but it was almost necessary to walk over the dead body of a sergeant who was guarding the dead line, RECOGNIZING FAMILIAR SCENES. The company, after this incident, were get- ting near the camp. Members who were down with the guard last summer began to recog- nize old landmarks, ame old fence as last year, same old or- chard and the same family at the door. but, by Jiminy, no—yes, hurrah, boys, theres auother kid!” Yhat’s its name, Auntie?” verything is just the same, yes, and cricky, there are the same spring chickens as last year.” al S ARRIVAL IN CAMP. The camp; the company has arrived, but oh! how different from the natty lot of men who had started out early in the morning. Tho traveling ontfit of a cavalryman is of considerable size, with the blankets, saddie bags, &c., but every inch of the available space of horse, rider and outfit was covered by a thick layer of dust. The company lidn’t look very pretty, but as if they had been through a campaign, and several officers passed on the way to the camping grounds saluted the troop with great respect. It did not take the cavalry long to pitch their camp. Details were made for all the various duties and in a little over an hour the camp was pitched and the first company to arrive at the cump this yout was safely housed and be- ginning to make themselves at home, SUPPER, About 6 o'clock the troop filed on foot down to the eating pavilion and astonished the cooks and waiters by the way they demolished the pressed corn beef, sardines and coffee which were served. Considerable discussion has arisen among the members of the Soon as to the whyfore of walking to meals instea of riding.

CONVENIENCES IX CAMB, Looked atin any andevery light this camp must necessarily be a great improvement upon its predecessor. The new plan has been to bunch the brigade as much as possible. Last year it was a Sabbath-day’s journey from the wharf tothe cavairy camp. This year im- proved roads anda real sidewalk will make locomotion much easier and the distance will apparently be very much leas. One of the most usefu! features ix the telephone system. The headquarters building, the post sergeant, the commissary department and the wharf are all connected by the magic wire. 5 ALL READY.

If Caba and Porte Rico vaine the America market for their sugar as highly @s Mr. Blaine believes once they have been permitted to eujoy it free they will make proper cencessious to hold it, THE PRESIDEN?’s POSITION. Ancther point that gives consequence to the Pieree amendment is the widely credited re- port that it represents the result of a confer- ence between the Nerth Dakota Senator and the President. Gen. Harrison aud Mr. Pierce are warm friends and in close accord on all political questions, The President probably felt that some suggestions from him in that way would be timely. He looked with favor on the general proposition of free continental trade, but like Mr. McKinley could not see that the pian urged by Mr. Blaine was, as far as sugar was concerned, immediately feasible. ‘The President, it is wnggested. is velopa great deal of strength in arranging Mr, Allisonand Mr. Mekimiey, who in the | inberalded to friend, the Bon.

WHAT MR. BLAINE’S FRIENDS SAY. Friends of Mr, Blaine resent the talk heard in some quarters that he has shown a reckless spiritin urging his reciprocity views ou Con- gress at this time. He has eniy done, in their opusion, what it was clearly his duty to do, ‘The Pan-American congress had the full sanc- tion of the American Congress and of the coun- try, and had Mr, Blaine neglected to press at once one of the leading propositions considered and decided by that congress his own good faith would havo been questioned. He could net, of course, provide against legitimate par- tisam interpretations of his motives and actions by his political opponents, but his friends in- sist that his party should not accept such inter- pretations atanything more than their partivae value. Any opposition newspaper. they point out, can at any time nominate him for the presidesey, suspect him of any scheme it picases, and daily, if 1t ehoose, demand his resignation as Secretary of State. But that does not commit Mr. Blaine to anything. THIRTY YEARS There is one feature of the tariff debate that both parties view with respectiul interest, and that is the appearance in it of the venerable Senator from Vermont (Mr. Morrill). The tariff bill of thirty years ago was constructed under his direction and passed in Congress under his chumpiouship. He waa a great apostle of protection indeed, before either Mr. Blaine or Mr. McKinley was known to national lite.
