Looking almost as young as he did when first elected to Congress in 1850, Mr. Ga- lusha A. Grow, the veteran legislator, is once more in Washington. He arrived late last evening and is stopping at Willard’s. Mr. Grow is from Susquehanna county, Pa., and was elected Congressman-at-large on February 20 last, to fill the unexpired term of the late Representative William | Liny, who died in December, 1893. Mr. Grow is a deep-dyed republican and :e- ceived the largest majority vote ever cast in the keystone state, it being about 188,- 000 or 190,000. The political history of the Congressman is worthy of mention. In 1850 he was first elected to Congress, and a year later, as the candidate of the republicans, against James L. Orr, democrat, was declared Speaker of the House of Representatives for the Thirty-seventh Congress. For six years, from 1859 until 1865, he served as chairman of the committee on territories, under Speakers Banks and Pennington, during which time the famous troubles in Kansas were in progress. Grow has not been actively engaged in na- tional politics, but now, forty-four years after his maiden appearance as a member of the House of Representatives, he returns to continue the enviable career begun when @ great number of present citizens were un- born. Although seventy years of age the new Congressman seems yet in his prime. He has a ruddy complexion, erect figure, being over six feet in height, short gray beard, and might easily pass for a man of forty- five years. When a Star reporter called ut | the hotel today Mr. Grow was about to start for a walk. He appeared to be in the best of humor and was highly pleased with the wonderful improvements that have taken place in and about Washington since his residence here. “I think the governor of Pennsylvania will issue a proclamation today declaring me elected and giving the official results of the election,” said Mr. Grow, in reply to 2 5 5 & & & § 4 Kj | States government has decided to send a | special commission to Sivas in order to in- | partment of Pennsylvania with an oek gav- a question. “If such action is taken I shall proceed to the Capitol tomorrow and take | my seat. At the present time I do not care | to say anything further of a political na- | ture, or in regard to my future move- ments. | “Yes, Washington has undergone a imar- velous change since the war. From two cr three blocks back of Willard’s out to the Boundary was an unbroken common, where goats of all varieties roamed at will and duck ponds galore existed. There were no asphalt pavements then, no street cars, no beautiful drives—in fact, Washington was a mere village compared to the beautiful city of today. And it fs a beautiful city. | I know of none that can approach it.” <a Real Estate Matters. Alice S. Hill has bought of Mrs. Harriet S.

THE TALK IN LONDON Gladstone's Prospective Retirement the Topic of the Day. CABINET MEETING THIS AFTERNOON The Parish Councils’ Bill the Sub- ject Discussed. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, March 1.—A full cabinet coun- cil was held this afternoon. It was an- nounced that ministers would only consider the subject of house of lords’ amendment to the parish councils bill. The cabinet meeting lasted two hours. The Chronicle maintains that although Mr. Gladstone has not resigned, he will probably do so either when parliament is prorogued or when it reassembles for the session. It mentions the rumor about Earl Spencer succeeding Mr. Gladstone as prime minister and says that from the first the former has refused the premiership. It ridicules the idea of a radical revolt against Lord Rosebery. The News in a leading article says: Yes- terday’s cabinet council may perhaps clear the air of the rumors which are now dis- tracting the public ear. It is quite certain that Mr. Gladstone has not resigned and it is equally certain that if he did retire the home rule question would not be dropped. Elsewhere the News says that Mr. Glad- stone has taken no step in the direction of resignation, and as bearing on the impos- sibility of an early dissolution of parlia- ment it notes that a cabinet minister, who is not a resident of London, has just rent- ed a house for the coming season. The Standard says: if Mr. Gladstone's resignation is not tendered within a few days it will probably be deferred until the queen’s return from Florence. It is recog- nized that a reconstruction of the govern- ment on the eve of a new session, would cause a great inconvenience, especially to budgetary business. The ‘Times, in a leading article, says that it is improbable that Mr. Gladstone's in- terview with the queen had any direct bear- ing upon the crisis in the cabinet. “We do not pretend,” the Times says, ‘‘to be in the secrets of the ministers, but we feel jus- tified in assuming that Mr. Gladstone has postponed his resignation, on which, there is little doubt, he decided a few days ago. Viewing the possibility of a section of the radicals opposing Lord Rosebery as pre- mier, it is not unlikely that a stop-gap ministry will follow Mr, Gladstone's re- tremen: Mr. T. P. O'Connor, in the Sun, says that @ rearrangement of the cabinet will take Place when the resignation of Mr. Glad- stone, which all now regard as impending, takes effect. Mr. O'Connor then points out the fact that though the queen sent for Lord Rosebery, the conflict for the premier- ship is not settled. The queen, Mr. O'Connor continues, has, no doubt, a right to send for whom ehe pleases, but Lord Rosebery may fail in the task. “If, however, Lord Rosebery’s present colleagues consent to act with him the question of the premiership may be regard- ed as settled,” Mr. O'Connor adds. In co clusion, the distinguished Irish leader say “Much of the opposition to Lord Rosebery comes from the suspicion that on foreign affairs he represents jingoism instead of radicalism. This difficulty may be remov- ed by his transfer from the foreign office, and Mr. John Morley or the Earl of Kim- berly may succeed him there. The Right Hon. James Bryce (chancellor of duchy of Lancaster), or Mr. Herbert Gladstone (par- lamentary secretary of the home office), may succeed Mr. Morley as chief secre- tary for Ireland.” SCARED BY ANARCHISTS.

Department Commander Sample of Pennsylvania Gives His Views. PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 1.—The twenty-eighth annual encampment of the | G. A. R., Department of Pennsylvania, was called to order by Department Commander Thos. G. Sample of Pittsburg in the Acad- emy of Music this morning. About 1,200 delegates were in attendance. Edwin Walton of this city, a member of the reception committee, introduced Mayor Stewart, who delivered the address of wel- come. Commander Sample replied for the G.A.R. Edward J. McDermott of Louisville, Ky., was then introduced. Supplemental to his | address Mr. McDermott presented the De- | el which was made by an Ohio soldier of | wood taken from a tree near the home cf | Abraham Lincoln. Mr. McDermott said | that he was here as a representative of the Commercial Club of Louisville to invite the G. A.R. men to hold their next annual en- campment in that city. No encampment | had ever been held south of Mason ard Dixon's line, and Louisville was desirous of entertaining the boys in blue. | Commander Sample thanked Mr. McDer- mott on behalf of the G.A.R., and said that | if it was decided to hold the next encamp- | ment in the south he felt sure that Louis. | ville would be selected. On the question of pensions Commander Sample in his annual address said: “No consistent member of the Grand | Army of the Republic desires an illegal | Pension to be paid, and I believe every com- rade stands ready to assist the government to purge the roll of every fraudulent pen- sioner, if there are any, but we should also | demand that ny names shall be stricken from the roils simply to reduce the amount of money to be paid by the government. A pensioner having proven his right to be THE PRESIDENT'S YACHT The Little Violet Aspires to That High Honor. She is a Tight Little Boat and Carries Bold Hunters Stanchly Through the Canal. The modest light house tender Violet will go down to history as President Cleve- land’s yacht. She was never designed for such distinction and has gained it by the merest accident. The U. S. S. Dolphin, a modern steel cruiser, built by the late John Roach, is popularly supposed to be the President's yacht, but for some un- known reason President Cleveland has shown a singular antipathy to her. She has been placed at his disposal several times when he was known to have an aquatic excursion in mind, but he never availed himself of the privilege of treading her quarter deck, either as commander-in- chief of the army and navy or as a private citizen. Originally intended as a ship of war, she has since been transformed into @ pleasure yacht. Her appointments are elegant, and her accommodations for the comfort and convenience of passengers are unsurpased by any ship in the navy. She has a large, luxurious saloon cabin specially The Violct. adapted to the entertainment of guests, and was severely tested in that respect by Secretary Herbert and Admiral Gherardi during the recent Columbian naval review. Therefore it was natural, when the Pres!- dent recently expressed a desire to take an outing on the river for a few days, that Secretary Herbert thought of placing the Dolphin at his disposal. In such matters to think is to act. The Dolphin was lying idle at New York. All that was necessary to bring her to Washington was to send a telegraphic order to that effect to her commander. This was two weeks ago and two days later the Dolphin was at anchor at the Washington navy yard. Rejected Dolphin. ‘The President was informed ot that fact, with the additional statement that the ves- sel was ready to take him wherever he de- sired to go within the bounds of possibil- ity. He was very grateful of course, but really he had not thought of going to sea, and moreover, he couldn't do so, you know, without leaving the jurisdiction of the United States. There is a constitutional prejudice, or something of that sort, against the President leaving the United States during his term of office. Moreover, Mr. Cleveland wanted recreation more than he did a cruise on the raging main, and he believed he could get more of it in the shallow waters of the sounds of North Carolina, hunting the succulent duck in its winter retreat, than he could in enforc- ed idleness on the troublous ocean. It is, possible that the President never gave utterance to such thoughts as these. Nevertheless it is a fact that he discard- ed the sumptuously appointed Dolphin for the plain little Violet. He had cruised on the Violet before and had formed an at- tachment for her. Moreover, she could take him where he wanted to go and the naval vessel could not. Her accommodations, while not so fine as those of the Dolphia, were very good. He had previously tested them in a short cruise down the Potomac with Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle and Capt. Evans of the navy, and they had met all requirements. True, the present trip is a more extended one, but then the party is smaller by the absence of Secretary Car- lisle. Violet Elected. ‘The distinguished party left here last Sun- day in a blinding snow storm and are now supposed to be engaged in the highly ex- hilarating sport of ducking in the quiet waters of Currituck or Albemarle sound, N. C. The region is a paradise for ducks, and the season is now at its height. With these conditions, the Presidential ducking expedition can be a failure only through the fault of the hunters. The Violet, which has become a nationai institution by its frequent use by the Pres- ident, is one of the oldest vessels in the light house service. She it attached to the fifth light district, embracing the coast and navigable waters of Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina, and her special province is to visit the light houses, buoys and othe: aids to navigation in that district at regular intervals, to see that they are in good con- dition, and also to render their keepers any assistance that may be required. She is a side wheel steamer of 155 tons measure- ment, with a speed of ten knots in smooth water. She was built at Staten Island, N. Y., in 1861, and was used by the govern- ment for naval purposes during the war, at the close of which she was added to the light house establishment, where she has been ever since. Her hull is of oak and cedar, with fastenings of galvanized tron. She underwent extensive repairs in 1886. Her dimensions are as follows: Length be- tween perpendiculars, 143 feet; breadth of beam, 23 feet, but including outside guards, 39 feet and 8 inches; draught, light, 6 feet: loaded, 7 feet. She is provided with a lo pressure beam engine and one return tubu- lar boiler. She has a foremast fifty-four feet above deck, and a foretopmast twelve feet long. A large derrick is also a p2omi- nent feature of her fore deck. She is paint- ed black outside and yellow predominates | in her interior coloring. She has a coal ca- pacity of sixty tons, sufficient for a ten days’ cruise, and a capacity for provisions sufficient for thirty days. There are twolarge state rooms, with bath room attachments, in the main saloon, and there is anothe> large state room on the port guard. The first two are occupied by Presidert Cleve- land and Secretary Gresham, and the othe> by Capt. Evans. There are in addition four berths, 6 feet by 3 feet, in the cabin, and twelve berths, 6 feet by 2, in the forecastle. ‘These are occupied by the officers and crew of the vessel. The probabilities are that the officers fare better in the matter of sleeping accommodations when they have no guests. The cabin ts thirty-t feet long and is weil furnished. The vessel is offictally repo>ted to be in good condition in every respect, and will undoubtedly acquit herself creditably on this occasion. She is now on her own cruising ground, and ts in no danger of accidents. Her regula> duties require her to make frequent trips through the Dismal Swamp route to the sounds of | North Carolina, and her known availability for that purpose was the main reason for her selection for the special use by the Pres- ident and the Secretary of State. Scene of Action. Long Point, where President Cleveland and his party passed Tuesday night, is near the foot of the Albemarle canal. The first section of this canal runs from Norfolk to the head of North Landing river, which ts really extensive sound in itself. Run- on the roll once, it should require some- thing more than an anonymous commun‘ca- tion to take him from the roll. Neither | should he be humiliated by being compelted | to submit to an investigation or examina- tion by men who served in the rebel army. I am of the opinion that all this hue and | cry against the pensioners has been caused by a class of men who have no sympathy for the ex-Union soldier, and as proof of that statement I am advised by a member of Congress that there are now in the field 108 more special examiners than there were in February, 18M, and 8) per cent of them have been appointed from the states that were in rebellion. Let the comrades stand up, and in 2 manly, dignified manner pro- | tect the rights of the men who made it possibie for us to have a government to. lay. ‘The report of the assistant quartermaster | general shows there are 43,724 comrades in good standing, a siigznt gain in membership. During the year the sum of $25,682 was ox- pended for rellef of needy veterans. There are 621 posts in Peansylvania. The candidates for department commanda- | er are Wm. Emsloy, past commander of Schuyler Post, this city, and James B. Den- worth, past commander of Reno Post, Williamsport. A vote will be taken this evening. The Philadelphia and Pittsburg delegates have pledged their support to Embley and it is conceded that he will be chosen depart- ment commander. The sessions are secret —_—<— Signed With the Associated. CHICAGO, March 1.—The Hamilton (Ohio) Daily News has signed a ninety years’ contract with the Associated Press. Service begins today. ning twelve miles along this river the Violet entered the second seggion of the canal, this time passing from Virginia to North Caro- lina. This second section is but three or | four miles in length and emerges in North river. Near this exit is Long Point, and across the peninsula, about two miles, is Long Point Marsh island, a famous ducking hore. It is located on Currituck sound at a point where the sound is only about three or four miles wide, and the eastern shore is formed by a narrow strip of land border- ing on the Atlantic. The water in the sound at this point is very shallow, rarely exceed- ing six feet at the deepest points, so that there is no danger that any of the presi- dential party could be drowned in any storm or wreck. This shallowness will make it probably impracticable to use the Violet for cruising about, so the chances are the Pres- ident must trust himself to one of the sail- boats with which the region abounds, or to | a steam launch. The Hght house board now possesses a little steam tender built especial- lly to renew the gas buoys marking the is known as the, tortuous channels. It Bramble and {s much smaller than even the Violet. In his capacity as naval secretary of the light house board, Capt. Evans prob- ably would have no difficulty in calling this little craft into the service of the party, as she is stationed at Elizabeth City, not many miles distant from the anchorage of the Violet. —— Treasury Cash Balance.

POSSIBLE Only Way by Which Unity Could Be Gained. GROWTH OF THE NEW IDEA Special Roms dispatch, copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press. ROME, March 1.—Some weeks ago Mer. Spalding, in the course of an interview with the Assoclated Press correspondent, hinted to him as much as to look forward for an early advent of a republic in Italy. The correspondent since then has had an op- portunity of gauging the opinions of Italian statesmen on the subject, and as a corrol- lary to the remarks of the bishop of Peoria can give the views of a prominent leader of the democratic party in this country. During the course ef a long conversation, he said: “Italy is passing through a formidable crisis, the precise scope and character of which can be judged only by glancing at the various causes which may be said to have been its mainspring. I should pre- mise that she is now expiating the tradi- tional fatality accompanying the footsteps of any nation failing to conquer its inde- pendence under the banner of democratic institutions. Mazszini a Republican. “The motif of Italian unity was a repub- lican instinct at the outset. Its first upostle was Mazzini, who had no conception of the Uberation of Italy apart from a republic. Until 1859 this idea was a democratic one, springing from the inner consciousness of the nation, At that period, however, Eu- rope was monarchical from end to end,with the sole exception of Switzerland, and it would never have countenanced the estab- lishment of Italian unity under a republl- can ticket. It was therefore deemed neces- sary either to wait or to modify the direc- tion of the impetuous current which was evidently making for national unity. Those who were eager for the fray decided that the movement should be conducted under the flag of the house of Savoy. This dy- nasty had previously resisted the yearnings of ltalian patriots, but it finally entered upon an alliance which appeared destined to secure to it the scepter of an undivijed italian realm. The almost immediate real- ization of this hope was made feasible by the agreement between Cavour and Gari- baldi. There can no longer be the slightest doubt that the diplomacy of the house of Savoy secretly encouraged the Garibaldian assault upon the two Sicilies. Hence the indignation aroused in the mind of Agostina Bertani, who,on a perusal of the later reve- lations on this point, was prompted to re- mark that people would finally come to the conclusion that Italian unity was hatched in King Victor Emanuel’s stables. Fearful of France’s Example. “From that day forward Italy was doomed to become the foe of France as soon as the latter transformed herself into a republic. After Sedan, in the eyes of the italian monarchy, democratic France was the victim of two terrible blunders. In the first place, she had been beaten and was no longer the strongest nation on the Euro- pean continent, and next she was com- mitting the willful mistake of seeking to govern herself without emperor or king. The fanatics of the Italian monarchy trembled lest republican ideas in France Should spread across the Alps and bring about @ permanent state of antagonism between the two Latin nations. These fears were all the more pronounced from the fact that the republican spirits which had fostered the national aspirations towards the unity. and independence of the country still lay dormant among the masses, and that’ democratic ideas were even then making rapid strides. “Events in Tunis afforded the monarchi- cal government a long-sought-for opportun- ity to conclude an alliance with the great dynastic states of central Europe, and this alliance, let me add, was all the more in keeping with the predilections of the house of Savoy, from the fact that the women of that house have mostly been princesses of German birth or origin, not even exclud- ing the present queen, whose mother, the Duchess of Genoa, was Princess Elizabeth of Saxony. The People Friendly to France. “This alliance with the central powers inevitably brought the interests of the monarchy into conflict with those of the and the artificial quibbles designedly set up from time to time, the public sentiment had always been one of sympathy for France. The latter, it is true, was in arms against Italy in 1847 and again in 1 but to her undoubtedly we owe our unity !which may be said to date back to the | French victory at Solferino. Moreover, the alliance with Austria and Germany was | repugnant to the Italian conscience, Italy | having of old been cruelly oppressed by the | Teuton. “Nor must we forget that our material | interests were opposed to this diplomatic | change of front. Italy depended first and foremost on French credit. Thanks to | French money, she was enabled to restore | her national finances after the war of 186. It was in France that she found a ready market for most of her agricultural produce —for her wine, oil, silk, cattle and fruits. As a matter of fact, the men who were de- voted to the Italian monarchy felt that this close community of commercial and economic interests constituted such a bond | between the two nations as to put a | formidable obstacle to the possible con- sequences of an alliance so imprudently entered upon, and they therefore resolved to denounce the treaty which had. long | governed the commercial relations of | France and Italy. No greater mistake could have been committed, and to that act the impoverishment of Italy unquestion- ably dates back. “But the crowning misfortune of this new and disastrous economic policy was that it was inaugurated at the very mo- ment that Italy was obliged to prodigiously develop her armaments, and to run in debt in order to keep her engagements with the allied empires. The taxes had to be increased until Italy, one of the poorest nations on the continent, became one of the most heavily handicapped. Industry Is | now taxed to the extent of about twenty | per cent of its earnings, and the burden on agriculture is equal to forty per cent of its gross produce. All undertakings are thus tapped at their very sources, and the whole country seems paralyzed. Individuality Crushed Out. “The ills from which Italy is now suf- fering also spring, in a measure, from oth- ler causes that ought not to be overlooked. | | Moved by a feeling of jealousy and mis- | giving toward local autonomous institu- | tions, the monarch has established a sti- | fing and tyrannous system of untformity, | paralyzing all local initiative. Italian in- | | tellect has not only failed to find a new | home In the eternal city, but has lost the | |intensity which it displayed in all the an- |clent capitals, so plenteous in particular |and varied traditions and energies. The | dynasties’ spirit has turned the idea of na- | tional unity into a sort of monolith, a | ! mastodonesque engine, a body without a | soul, the very negation of the essentially | individualistic Italian temperament. | | “From the political standpoint, the way |in which Italian unity came about also had | | the disadvantage of placing king and pope | ‘face to face in Rome. The Roman ponuff | jcannot reconcile himself to a sovereign | whose presence is an offense to him, from the mere fact of his wearing a crown. | Consequently, the holy father, although an | Italian, ts, of necessity, the adversary of a | nation bearing the burden of his displeas- | |ure simply because she is governed by a | King. An entente between these two pow ers will be impossible long as the chief of | the Itallan states wields the scepter. Only a Republic Suitable. “It would not be so, perhaps, if Italy en- dowed herself with republican institutioas. |The chief obstacle to an understanding would then have disappeared, especially as a republic in Italy would be federalist, both from necessity and from traditions. The federalist idea formerly had eminent cham- pions in Cattaneo, Gulsseppe Ferrari and Alberto Mario, the most illustrious names on the list. It is the Itallan idea par ex- cellence, and the system is the only one capable of allowing free scope to the mar- velously varied and versatile facilities of the Italian people. nation.

Fature Events on the Program—Dele- gates Having a Good Time— Discussion of Topics. The third day’s session of the National Electric Light Association began at 10:30 o'clock this morning, with the usual large attendance. From every point of view the convention has been one of the most suc- cessful and satisfactory that has ever been held in this city. It has been essen- tally a business gathering and the mem- bers who have becn present will go home feeling that their stay in Washington has been a most profitable as well as delightful one. The various papers so far read before the convention have given rise to so much dis- cussion that the association has run be- hind In its program and the result is that the larger part of this morning’s business, discussion on several important topics, Was postponed until the afternoon ses- eion and the executive session, at which the reports of the secretary and treas- urer and the executive committee will be read. The election of officers will probably not be held until tomorrow morning. ‘The mecting this morning was called to order by the first vice president, Mr. M. J. Francisco of Rutland, Vt., and the first business of the day was the reading of a President Armstrong. |paper by Mr. A. B. Herrick on the sub- j ject, “Development of Switchboards for | Modern Central Stations.” It was a thor- oughly technical consideration of a most |important matter and was illustrated by |a series of explanatory designs thrown | upon a screen by means of a stereopticon. General Discussion. At the conclusion of the paper the subject was placed before the convention, and a discussion ensued. This was opened by Prof. Weston, who took the ground that the present systems, as a rule, are faulty, | and result in a very material joss. Lnergy is frittered away in the conductors so that only a small fraction of that produced reaches the consumer, and che electric light company is thereby a loser. A total change must be made in the near future, when station managers begin .0 se how much they lose even on their switchboards, and the methods recommended by Mr. Herrick today, said Prof. Weston, will ve soon be abandoned. Prof. Weston read a series of estimates, and showed that a loss of a tenth of a volt in ten feet of conduc- tor, with 1,000 amperes at 12 cents ner kilo. Watt hour, twenty-four hours a day, would amount in a year to a pecuniary loss of J. HM. Vail. $112.48. This, he said, was a surprisingly large amount, and as it meant oaly a small fraction of the total loss it repre. sented a very large section of possible profits gone to waste. He then went on to recommend a number of changes that in his opinion would reduce the loss of en- Other Events. A carefully prepared paper that was of genuine interest to the members of the as- sociation, though it would have been per- fectly unintelligible to the unitiated, was read by Mr. Chas. F. Scott. It had for its subject “Polyphase Transmission,” and was a iengthy paper, occupying more than | an hour in the reading. Shortly after this the convention adjourned. The remaining features on the program of the convention are as follows. Topic, “Arc Lights on Inc cuits.” Discussion: C. L. Edgar, L. B. Marks, J. T. Ridgway, W. 8. Barstow. Thomas Spencer, John C.

Phocton Howard, a sixteen-year-old boy, who was a page in the last Congress, and who has been here expecting a situat.on, has lived at the Hotel Lawrence for about six weeks, and last evening when the ques- tion of a settlement was mentioned there was trouble. Samuel Gassenheimer, the proprietor of the hotel, had the trouble with him, and in addition to tumbling the boy down the steps he cut him with his pen- knife. There were three cuts in the boy's clothing and one wound in his right arm. Later on Policeman Sutton called at the | hotel to inquire about the trouble and when Gassenheimer 8 questioned he admitted the assault and ide another move in the direction of the boy. He was then arrest- |ed, and released on collateral. A charge jof assault to kill was preferred against him in the Police Court this morning, and Judge Miller held him in $300 security to await the action of the grand jury. The defendant claims that the affair was purely accidental; that he had the knife im his hand when he was endeavoring to ejoct Howard and in doing so he cut him.
