THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. AUGUST 12, 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES. THE NATIONAL GUARD Local Soldiery Are Combining Duty and Pleasure. A BRIGADE ENCAMPMENT NEEDED. How the Third Battalion Did Its Work at Marshall Hall. THE TEAMS ARE HOPEFUL. ——+ A large proportion of the District Nation- el Guard efther has been, is, or soon will be, in ‘camp. Unfortunately the various subdivisions of the brigade have been com- pelled to gq out on thetr own lines and at thelr own expense, for Congress failed as usual to appropriate the small amount becessary to defray the cost of a brigade camp of instruction—so much needed by the local soldiery. Of course there is a great deal of good work done in the bat- valion and company encampments, but the results achieved can hardly be compared to those secured when the entire brigade assembles at one time and place to ac- quaint itself with the duties of a soldier in the field. During this and the coming regular session of Congress renewed ef- forts will be made to so present the needs of the District National Guard to the ap- Propriations committee of the House and Senate as to bring about a brigade encamp- ment next summer. There ts in existence «congressional | promise, a vei mise, made than two years ago, afd this the National Legislature wa Oe ay By EE su ere Either of the committees: simply listless- ness. The endeavor will be made to awaken | Such interest as should exist and although | no one knows exactly what any congres- sional committee will do there is more probability than at any time for the past few years that Congress will authorize the expenditure of the very small amount needed to keep the running for week or ten days in vicinity of Fort | Washington. The District National Guard | costs less money per capita and is more | efficient comparatively than any like com- | mand in the United States, and that is say- ing @ great deal. Washingtonians generally | appreciate its excellence, but Washington- fans have nothing to do with making the | ropriations, so it ts to Congress alone fiona! guardsmen must look for the | camp of instruction which has been so | urgently needed ever since the new drill regulations were adopted. The Third Battalion Did Nobly. Nothing but the most kindly commenda- tion has been heard as to the third battal- jon camp at Marshall Hall. From begin- ning to end it was a well instructed and | soldierly camp. The men had every op- portunity for enjoyment and yet there was not at any time any neglect of military duty. Maj. Suess, who is thoroughly and deservedly popular, insisted in his agree- able but effectual way upon the entire en- campment living up to regulations and in this he seems to have had the heartiest Support of ninety-nine out of every hun- dred men. Company A of the sixth bat- talion, which accompanied the third bat- talion, did excellently and deserves well of ali who admire soMlierly ability and willingness. Everybody in camp seemed intent upon doing that which was his du- ty and the resuit was all that could have been expected even Ly the most critical. \s a rule there Is more or less of a break- down in the arrangements of all camps, but the third had no such expertence; eacn | department held up its end admirably. The | quartermaster work was thoroughly at- | tended to, the commissary did not seem to have neglected anything and the other | branches received a full share of attention from officers who were a3 intelligent as | they were active. Other Camps Are Prospering. From other camps—principally company a2ffairs—comes information of a satisfact wry | nature. Of course there Is a good deal of | fun in the seaside holiday which the boys | are having at their own expense, but there | 1s also a good deal of duty done. This, however, cuts but a smail figure in the news printed of encampments from day to day; ft is only natural that more atten- tion should be given to the light and frolic- some happenings of every day. But there ts, nevertheless, a great deal of drillizes. especially in “extended order.” and that is what every member of the guard needs. Finishing Up the Seores. Voluntary rifle practice has not been flourishing to any considerable extent dus- ing the past week. It was expected that | the rush would set in about now and con- tinue until practice closes at the end of | the month. Next week and the week fol- lowing will afford altogether six days of | epportunity for those who desire to either | complete or better their scores, and to | make the work a trifle easier the omer calling upon men to uniform themselves | before appearing on the range has been | suspended, so that those who want. to shoot may go down on any Monday, Wet. | nesday or Saturday between 1:2) and re- | treat and shoot without having to journey | to the armory for military clothing. This | will give every man a chance and it is hardly probable that anyone will attempt to excuse himself for inattention to the important matter of completing scores. ‘Those who are wise will go down earls because experience shows that the last | day or two finds more men on the range than can_ possibly be accommdated with | targets. Every effort will be made to help those who so far have not shot as well cr | as frequently as they wanted to and it is expected that by the close of this month some very fine shooting will have been done. Seon to Work om the New R. ‘The proposition to build and equip a new rifle range down the river has not been for- gotten or abandoned. It will be taken up| immediately after the return of the brigade, | regimenta! and battalion teams from Sea Girt, and there Is probability of « good deal of the work of construction being completed | before winter sets in. With this range com- pleted and available for practice the Dis-| frict National Guard should qualify three times a many sharpshooters ani marks- men ag it now has. With eight or ten tar- gets at cach range a regiment could do ull the shooting even its most enthustastic| members desire inside of one day, and that is the desirable thing for which Gen, Ord- Way and several of his officers are now striving. | Something as to the Brigade Team. | For a week to come the Interest of local | military men and of @ great many who.| are thoroughly in sympathy with the Dis- | trfet National Guard will be centered on the brigade and regimental rifle teams that today left this city for Sea Girt. In every respect those teams are believed to be in better condition than they ever were be- fore. Especially does this appear to be true of the brigade team. Careful selec- | of what seems to be first-class mate. | rial and a steady system of practice has resulted In team work such as the District of Columbia has not heretofore known. How the aggregation will size up when compared with the bodies of sharpshooters from other states cannot, of course, be Pidicted. but it ts quite possible that’ the ‘strict of Columbia will have no Treason to be ashamed of its representatives on the rifle range. They may not win, at least not all they start out to win.” but they wiil certainly put up creditable scores and will succumb only to the prowess of men who are in every respect more expert with the ritle. Penneylvania now holds both the Hilton and the National Rifle Association inter- Slate trophies, and these are the two things which the local brigade team’ has set its eyes upon. There has been but one draw- back to the team practice, and that was the weather. There have been days when the wind was extremely annoying and very tricky. and there have been days when the heat was intense, but it so hap- pens that on no days when the team was on the range was there any very bois- terous weather; fot any ordinary kind of atmospheric or meterological conditions the bors are weil prepared. but if {t should chance to storm when the big matches are being shot they will be worked at consider- able disadvantage. because they have had no such weather in their practice. But no matter how the wind blows or the rain falls or the sun shines, every man on the team is going to do ‘his utmost to win ither one or both of the big trophies. a A Common Edition. darling.” protested De Graf, “my an open book. es.” sighed his wife, « print is very bad.” coe Obvie: From the Detroit Tribune.

Anarchy is a vice that is eternally at war with the eth- tes of civilization, and those who step to- Ward the dominion of the red flag cennot avoid the taint that attaches to all who Boldly proclaim for lawlessness and blood. It matters not that they assert their abhor- rence of crime, if they pity and defen: the criminal. Their denials will be well understood by discerning minds to be only ® part of their system of Machiavehsn which is employed to make headway against an adverse public sentiment. Even if at first sincere in their expressions of detestation for anarchy and compexsion for anarchists, the polson will gradually Work upon them until at last they will be corrupted. Pope, in his “Essay on Man.” well hit off the overthrow of virtue by vice when he said: “Vice 1s a monster of so frightful :len, As, to be hated, needs but to be seen: Yet seen too oft, familiar with her tace, We first endure, then pity, then embrac These thoughts are forced out by ihe Parent design and concordance with v all who applaud Altgeld and praise Haymarket murderers disavow any sym- pathy with anarchy. In a recent issue of The Star a corres- pondent who attempts to answer me, con- sciously or otherwise, falls into the’ well- beaten path of praise and disavowul. The statement that all his grandfathers par- tictpate! in American wars is unimport- ant if true, but when advanced es a reason why he cannot be an anarchist, it is simply ridiculous. All through history we learn that man; Virtuous patriotic fathers have begotten depraved sons, and it is not out of the way of the question to state also that some virtuous patriotic sons have had depraved fathers. It 1s not improbable that the very reason he urges why he can- not be an anarchist is just the reason why he might be one. We will dssume that bis grandfathers were mm the revolutionary war. They became habituated to carnage and the smell of an Englishman's blood was far sweeter to them than the perfumes of Araby. It Intoxicated their senses. hanged their natures. and they became such terrible sons of Mars that they actu- ally waded in English blood up to the bridle-bits. (They were in the cavalry of course). After the British were annihilat- ed and peace came to the young republic, those bold warriors returned to the bosoms of their families. It was no easy ratter for them to throw off their flerconess and subdue their appetites for blood, but they succeeded eventually by transmit heavy strans of fierceness and bloodthirsi- iness down through their posterity to an apologist for the wild deeds of those who would overthrow the government which his sires by their valor helped to establish. ‘The correspondent alluded to is as wild as ever Herr Most was when he states that T “seem to take it for granted that all officers of the law are absolutely infal- Uble.” I said nothing that could be se con- strued nor do I believe it. Nor am I Lkely ever to come to such a conclusion while | Altgeld. “an officer of the law,” may rise up before my mind. I did say, and repeat it, that I prefer the judgment of the su- preme court of [llineis to anything the an- archists or their friends may say. Judge Gary, Prosecutor Grinnell, the jurymen, the judges of the supreme court of Tlinois and the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States are all Americans, all under the solemnity of oath to do justice, and I submit that their opinions, carefully made up after much deliberation. unani- mous, too, are much more worthy of cre- dence by Americans than are the wilt utter- ances of the escaped criminals of Eurcpe who herd under the folds of the red fag in New York and Chicago, or the unrell- able statements of their misguided friends in labor unions. Courts do err at times, and who that fs human will not, but there are not enough labor fakirs aid anarch- ts in this country to convince the great majority of the people that the courts or their officers committed any mistake in dealing with the anarchists. ‘The reat mistake was that an executive officer of the law, too evidently in collusion with the anarchists out of fail, carried out a cor- rupt bargain, d then to cover up as much as possible his own infamy, attemptel to heap obioquy on a co-ordinate branch of government. One thing which points strongly the presumption that there must have been a corrupt deel with the ‘archists is the fact that before his rom- |tmation for governor Altgeld refused to sign a petition praying his predecessor to pardon ‘the anarchists. il Senator Hill's Hop Speech. ‘The correspondent quotes Senator Hill's censorious diatribe against American courts and then assumes that I will not call the Senator an anarchist. Courtesy toward one who {s clothed im the senatorial togu -vill not permit of any such characterization. But I feel free to say that [ believe such a | ch as that delivered by Senator Hill to the hop growers is conducive te anarchy, because it has a tendency to weaken the confidence of the public in the courts, which are the safeguards of our institu- tions. I say it has such a tendency, but that is all, and no real harm will come of it, for the people well know that all such utterances on the part of the Senator are only buncombe to be stored away for usc in the campaign of 186 in the event of his being the presidential nominee of his party. He {s no doubt preparing himself to be more acceptable to the popultsts than the most advanced ismite in their own ranks. 1 have read his hops and personal liberty speech and have bestowed not a little thought on it. Brushing aside the glitter- ing generalities with which it is embellished and which all artful demagogues are so wont to employ when they start out to he- fog the public mind and to win the populace to their own interest, I can see that the Senator has thrown out two great sops to the publie. The first {s an unworthy appeal | to the prejudices of the discontented. That element is foreign and naturally, by pre- judice and education, against existing in- Stitutions if they do not literally flow milk and honey. It is so considerable as to be though worthy of propitiation, and we have to witness with shame and mortification the spectacle of a distinguished American Sen- ator disparaging our own {institutions to curry favor with a polyglot rabble. The other sop is thrown to those who are op- Posed to organized labor. He bears down rd with the assertion that the laborer has the right to name his own wages, his own hours and all the other terms under which he is willing to be employed, and if he comes to an agreement with an employer, the contract is a personal matter with which no other workman or employer nas any right to interfere. It is a bargain be- tween two competent contracting parties, Says the Senator, and 1s nobody's busi- ness but thelr own. Bear in mind that he §s speaking of individuai personal Hberty. Considered abstractly, the assertion is ali right, but when considered in connection with organized labor, which the Senator en- deavors to propitiate with several little sops, ft is all wrong. For it is in contravention of the cardinal principles of trades unton- ism: that majorities only can fix scales of wages and regulate hours of work, and that individuals have not the right to violate either. Organized Labor. In the main, I believe that the principles of organized labor are correct, and that they make for the elevation of our race. Certainly a reduction of the hours of labor is in that direction, and will be more surely brought about if there is concert of action by great masses than if individuals stickle for personal Iiberty Im such matters. If the Senator acknowledges the right of trades unions to exist at all—and he does, as is prudent, in view of what the future may bring forth—he ought not to lay too much stress on the rights of individuals in the matter of fixing scales of wages and hours of work. I would suggest that a dis- quisition on personal liberty and individual rights in machine politics, from the pen of the Senator. would be much more interest- ing to the public than anything he may say about American courts or organized labor. 1am sure that your correspondent will be utterly unable to convince any thinking man by any quotation he may make from Senator Hill's speech. Your correspondent quotes some rather mild utterances from the “Alarm” of July 1887, which he says were written by Par- sons. His object is evidently to offset the many seditious and murderous utterances of Parsons which appeared in my article. The value of his quotations will be appre- ciated when {t is known that in July, 1587, Parsons was confined in the Cook county jail. and was under sentence of death. ‘The Supreme Court was at that time con- sidering the case of “Spies et al. vs. the People,” and in the following September af- firmed the judgment of the lower court. It is not to be presumed that under the cir- cumstances the “minions of the law” would permit him to write anything for that fire- brand sheet, and if they did, it would not be of such an incendiary character as the articles that were put in evidence at the trial. Equally valueless is your correspond- ent’s assertion that the revolutionary ar- ticles were written by a space writer on Chicago daily paper. The record of the Su- reme Court of Iilinols, which I have at Rand, shows that the “Alarm” and aT belter Zeitung,” trial. When we consider that each paper etreulated several thousand copies in Chi- cago, It would surely not be a difficult mat- ter to procure copies to put in evidence. The Petitions of Pardon. As an evidence that the anarchists were | innocent and that Altgeld-was justified in pardoning them, your correspondent pa- | nesday and Thursday with all the articles | quoted, and many columns more in the| same strain, were put in evidence at the, rades the names of the different labor or- ganizations that jed to the governor to issue a pardon. To one who knows how easily such petitions are railroaded through bor organizations the names and number of such organizations are trivial matters. He says the gg Federation . Labor, Tepresenting 800,000 tollers, also petitioned. ‘That ia about 190,000 more than the Ameri: can Federation itself claims on paper. And Vike the politicians before an election, fts claims are large enough. The American Federation of Labor is a close corporation end ts ring-ridden. No stronger if of that statement is needed than the that the same officers are re-elected veer after year. There might be some extenuation for that fact if the officers were men of ex- ceptional abilities and possessed of rare qualifications as leaders of men. It is now almost universally accepted as an axiam that If one clique controls an o1 tion for a long series of years there is ring rule and corruption in the body. If Mr. Gompers should crack his whip and say pass @ reso- lution asking for the pardon of the Hay- market anarchists it would be done without question. And anything of thet wort that the American Federation of Labor might do would not strike me speechless with awe, for I would understand that such action Resin, fromm the, presses downcand Tot again, the pr. wn—ans the sentiment of all the thousands in that loose-jointed federation. ‘The Knights of Labor asked it. he says It there ts anything that the Kutghts of Labor will not ask it must be something rare in the realm of nondescripts. As askers and demanders they are running @ close and exciting race with the hebbies that are being ridden so hard by Simpson, Waite, Lease and Llewelling. The Knights of Labor are not as numerous or tmport- ant as they were formerly. And now I am reminded that Mr. Powderly, who was @ self-constituted delegate to the late sil- Ver convention, asserted that 75.000 of the Knights of Labor in the east were in favor of the free cainage of silver. He iid not tell the convention anything about the means he employed to ascertain the exact number who are free-cotnage knights, nor did he add that while a membership cf 200,000 was claimed in a general way at the time of the late general assembly in real- ity there were less than 6,000 good knights and true in the order. In fact, it has keen on the toboggan slide ever since the greet southwestern strike. Here again we see the ill-effects of ring rule. It ts notorious that secret cabals have controlled the, leg- islation and election of officers in that body for many years past. Many noble, lofty- minded men have to rise In the or- der and to work in Its ways for the good of mankind, but whenever their abilities marked them a8 men likely to reach the highest positions tn the organization the sinister coterie that paid homage to Pow- derly would pull them down and cast them out. And now Powderly is goings to retire as general master workman and take up the practice of law, which reminds me, further, that after a "man has sucked « lemon dry the most natural thing m the world for him to do is to toss it away. ‘The correspondent says: “Mr. Kennedy is fearful that the ‘goad name cf labor is being brought under the contempt of the American people,’ yet in another part of his long article he declares that the ‘work- ingmen constitute the vast majority of the People.’ ” Votim, Streng: of Labor Organias- tlens. Well, now, let us see if there is anything wrong with that statement. It must be borne in mind that when expressing a fear that labor would be brought under the pub- lic contempt for lauding Altgeld I had ref- erence only to organized labor, and later on I said “the workingmen, organized and un- organized, constitute the vast majority of the people.” Now less than 6 per cent of the voters of America are in the ranks of organized labor. So it will be seen that it 1 not out of the question for that small percentage of workingmen to bring them- selves under public contempt if they per- sist in making themselves obnoxious, as many of them have been doing ever since Altgeld swung the prison doors outward for the anarchists. ‘The men who are manufacturing and di- recting the wave of anarchistte sympathy in trades untons must not delude them- selves with the idea that they are the pub- lic or that they cam make public sentiment. They make a great noise, but the #4 per eent who are not with them in this matter are doing a t deal of thinking, and in the end it will be found that orgenized la- bor has not profited by straying after false gods. There are no doubt thousands and thousands in organized labor who utterly repudiate the un-American which has recently developed, though « sort of ter- yorism which labor fakirs know so well how to work up has held them in restraint and prevented an honest expression of opinion. ‘There is such a thing as patriot- ism, as love of country, of law order in the breasts of thousanda of the Ameri- can workingmen who are organized. ‘Trades unions have a strong hold on them, and ‘tis well it should be so if the unions will but keep in their proper sphere. But their country has their first allegiance. The first tmpulse of their hearts is to honor their flag and to love and cherish their country’s inatitutions, knowing full well that in this plenteous land, under our be- nign laws, competence and happiness will be the sure reward of brave hearts, noble minds and strong arms—the anarchists and all the ism cranks in creation to the con- trary notwithstanding. | ee WASHINGTON WHEELME How They Are Enjoying Themselves at the Big Fair. Correspondence of The Kvening Star. CHICAGO, Aug. 10, 1893. On Friday, August 4, forty-one clean «nd fresh members of the D.C. Div. L. a. W. left on the 2 p.m. “F. F. V." for Chicago and arrived there at 8:30 p.m. Saturday night. On arrival it would be natural to suppose that after so long a stay upon the cars not many minutes would elapse be- fore their heads would find the bed, but it was not 80, About twenty miles from Chi- cago the large Ferris wheel was sighted, covered with thousands of electric lghts. This settled the matter, and dinner was hurriedly partaken of and the members were off for the grounds. They ware the last to come through the gates that night. ‘The scenery en route to Chicago was magnificent and at every stop at the hand- some West Virginia towns the boys lined the platforms and sniffed the pur2 moun- tain air until the train started again on its journey. Meals were taken on the din- ing car attached to the train, 0 that no one*was obliged to leave his car until Cni- cago Was reached.

The boys are much pleased with Mr, Pelouze, who is an old Washingtonian, and who seems to take especial Interest in the District of Columbia party. ‘The ladies say he i» rather a good looking young man. ‘The excursion given on the lake Tuesday night was a very enjoyable affair and par- ticipated in by all—as was also the moon- light cycle parade to the fair grounds Wed- nights. On both these occasions the fair gates were thrown open and the L. A. W. given the freedom of the grounds. With the entertainment provided by the Chicago wheelmen and the attractions of the fair not many members of the party sleep very late in the morning. At 8 a.m. they have all left the hotel and are on thelr sight-seeing tours. It was re- ported that one of the party tried to ride a donkey in the streets of Cairo at the fair, and that the animal gave him a good “header;” also that three of the boys had some difficulty in retaining their mount on a large camel. Perhaps Messrs. Hodges and Leadley will tell about it when they get home. ‘The Members of the Party. The register of the Delaware shows the following names, all from Washington, D.C.: Messrs.

King, GOING TO ‘The Washington Light Infantry Will Leave Next Week for Atlantic City. This summer the different companies comprising the militia of the District of Columbia, not daunted by the negligence of Congress in failing to provide the ne- cessary means for holding a brigade en- campment, are starting out on their own resources to hald encampments in some cool spot, where they may spend a week or longer in practicing the evolutions that have been taught them during the year, or taking up something in tactics entirely new to them. Saturday afternoon next a special train will leave the Pennsylvania railroad de- pot on 6th street having on board the fa- mous Washington Light Infantry Corps (first battalion, D. C. N. G.), the War De- Pertment Guards (third ‘separate company, C.N. G.), and Columbia Commandery, Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias. ‘The train, which will leave at 5 o'clock, will have on board besides the soldier boys @ large delegation of friends of the three commands, who will accompany them to Atlantic City for a nine days’ stay amid the cooling breezes of the old Atlantic ocean and the assured warm friendship of the Jersey mosquitos, who always turn out gh masse to welcome newcomers to their rr. Instead of making that long, tiresome trip via Trenton, as has been customary heretofore in the Light Infantry’s encamp- ment, the shorter trip, necessitating a change at Philadelphia, will be the pro- gram this year, which will be quite an im- pravement, as it will not only give every ly a chance to escape for a short time from the ill effects of the cars, out will make @ saving in time of several hours. thereby arriving in Atlantic City about 16 o'clock that night, Parties who have visited the Jersey coast have vivid recollections of how ‘hey al- Ways have to walk or ride across Philadel- phia in order to reach the ferry that con- veys them over into Camden to enable them to reach the sea shore trains. sven that matter has been adjusted by the com- mittee of which Capt. Ailison Naflor is the chairman. The special will be switched over to the Washington Avenue station, which is only used on special occasions, snd will land the soldiers and their friends less than one hundred yards from the fer- ry boat of the Pennsyivanta railroad. ‘The baggage will go on ahead, and wiil be at camp when the boys arrive. Everything is bustle and confusion ground the armories of the different com- mands—knapsacks are being hauled out from sgelusion, where they have been since last year; uniforms and equipments clean- ed up, and brightened; cheats are. pein pac! reparatory to’ shipping. and the Thousand: MP. aud one things are being gotten but i: will heep all hands busy up to the time the “assembly” sounds. A Star representative, who visited the armory of the Light Infantry,was informe! by ome of the officers that’ the atrictost military discipline would be observed dur- ing the trip. “The Washington Light In- fantry.” said the officer, “hold an en- campment regularly every summer at own expense; and, if Congress cou!) only see how we are benefited py it in point of military instruction, I hardly think they would hesitate to appropriate the Recessary funds for the purpose of hold- ing @ brigade encampment every year.” being the first encampment of the War Department Guards, they will have the beneficial influence of’ the older organ- ization, the Light Infantry, as they Nave held so many encampments, and are so well versed in all things pertaining to a they get beck they eipect tormaaie Cave ey expect to make Capt. Wilson's men feel like true veterans. The Knights of Pythias will not enjoy the novelty of camping out, but will be snugly | quartered in one of Atlantic City’s large hotels. Capt. Nallor has gone on ahead to super- intend the pitching of the tents, which will be on the spacious lawn of the St. Charles Hotel. A more appropriate site it would be a hurd matter to find. An idea may be gained of what the size of the crowd will be this year from the fact that in the year 1888, on the occasion of one of the Light Infantry encampments held at Atlantic City, accompanied by the Corcoran Cadet Corps, @ advance guard erected forty tents. It Was the largest encampment they ever held. ‘This year it will be necessary to put up eighty-two tents—more than double the number of its largest previous camp. Orders Issued. Major Burton R. Ross has issued the fol- lowing orders relative to the encampment: FIRST BATTALION, D. C. N. G., WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11, 1893. Orders No. 18. 1.

In the silver debate in the House yester- day afternoon Representative Pence of Col- orado followed Mr. Bland. He opened the debate for the populists. Mr. Pence is a young man, thirty-six years of age, and looks even younger than he ts. From the outset he had the atten- tion of the whole House to a degree that but few of the older members can secure, and he had it unbroken to the close, His moderate manner of dealing with the mem- bers of the old parties, while criticisi their action and policy, was a material int in his favor. While he was speaking r. Reed came in from lunch, and handing his hat and sunshade to a page, stood still in the aisle with every indication of inter- est. When the young orator had concluded, having occupied the whole hour allotted for the opening speech, he was greeted with a round of applause from the floor, and many | members tendered their personal congratu- lations, Mr. Pence is a native of Indiana, where he began the practice of law, remov- ing to Colorado in 1879. Until last year he acted with the democratic party. Representative Wheeler of Alabama fol- lowed in a characteristic and interesting address. He announced his intention to favor coinage of silver on a fair ratio, be- cause he belleved it to be to the best in- terests of the country. ~ e+ @ TO GRAY GABLES, pressed Those Wh After lunch at New York yesterday the President and Col. Lamont entered a car- riage and were driven to Dr. Bryant's house. There a consultation was held. Dr. Bryant was of the opinion that the President's trip to Washington had the effect of staying the progress back to health he was making at the sea-shore. ‘The President complained that his weight had not been reduced materially and he suffered from surplus avoirdupois. Dr. Bryant packed up a portmanteau and entered the carriage with the Presi- den Col. Lamont answered all inquiries re- specting the President's health with the assurance that he never felt better in his life, Col. Lamont entered another car- Flage and the party drove back to the Vic- toria. At 8:30 o'clock they started for the boat’ Col. Lamont did not accompany them. ‘The carriage was driven yery slowly and did not reach the Fall River light dock at the foot of Barclay street until nearly 5 o'clock.

Dr. Bryant then came out and sad: “Mr. Cleveland is in splendid health; feels first class; tiptop.” “Is it not strange, doctor, that the Presi- dent should leave the seat of government while Congress is engaged in wrestling over legislation of an important charac- ter?” was asked Dr. Bryant said he was not prepared to criticise the President. “Perhaps a domestic event requires his Presence,” was suggested. “It would be unprofessional on my part to speak of that matter.” A colored porter who waited on the Prest- dent said when he left the state room just before the boat's departure that the Presi- dent was undressing to go to bed. ———-~+0e- SUPPLYING A CURRENCY.
