ALEXANDRIA. There is no public library in this city, the only approach to anything of the kind be- ing the libraries of the Sunday schools and of associations connected with the churches. The Alexandria Library Company, which was established here at the house of John Wise on the 24th day of July, 1704, is still in existence, but is not used, except by teachers of the public schools. Its first di- rectors were Elisha C. Dick, Robt. Mease, Chas. Simms, James Muir, John Gill, Wm. Hortshorne, Edward Stabler, John L. Orr and James Keith. The remnants of the li- brary, which, after many removals, has for the past ten years been in one of the rooms of the Peabody building, is still of some use to the public school teachers, but there Is no orderly arrangement of the books and no catalogue. It would seem that the com- ing centennial of the Library Company would be an excellent time to renew the youth of that time-honored institution. The city school board will meet at the Peabody building tonight, and an applica- tion from the Fairfax School Teachers’ Association for the use of Peabody Hall at their meeting next Saturday will be granted. This is the first meeting the Fairfax teach- ers have held in this city, and will probably not be the last, as, by reason of its railway connection, Alexandria is more available to all parts of Fairfax than any place within that county. Mr. Wm. C. Shock, the sealer of weights and measures for the city of Alexandria, will begin tomorrow the annual inspection of the weights and measures used by deal- ers in this city. The standards for the city for that purpose are believed to be the old- est In use in the United States. They were bought by the county of Fairfax in 1744, and have been tn continuous use sine These measures are bronze, and came di rect to Alexandria from the Tower of Lon- don, here they had been tested. Mr. Shock’s tour of inspection will occupy some weeks. The ladies and gentlemen of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Richmond on the Wednesday of next week will pay a ‘visit to this city, en route to Mount Vernon via the electric railway. The regular and reserve “teams” for the conferring of degrees in the Potomac Lodge, I. 0. O. F., had a competitive rehearsal last night at a special meeting of that lodge. Mrs. R. E. Nalls has purchased, for $550, a house and lot on the west side of Lee street between Wolfe and Wilkes street. Mayor Strauss had before him at the last police court nine young colored tramps, who had been lodging in outhouses in this neigh- borhood for several nights past. They said that they were on the way to Washington, where they expected to find work, and they were carried to the edge of the city and lowed to move on toward the capital. The ladies of the Auxillary Association of R. E. Lee Camp have appointed a commit- tee to make arrangements for a permanent meeting place. Large accessions have re- cently been made to this association. The fire wardens have elected Mr. Ray- mond Smith driver of the hose wagon of the Hydraulion Fire Company. The wardens have recently purchased a fine horse from Mr. O'Connor of Washington for use in the hook-and-ladder truck. An example of a parental vindication of the law was made yesterday at the station house, where Mrs. Mary Qulil used the rod with effect upon her little son, who had been convicted of stealing ornamental and useful articles from the house of Mrs. Emily Entwisle, on Columbus street. Business at the fish wharf is looking up. Some thousand shad and about 300,000 her- ring have arrived there this week. The wharfage received there will be accounted for to the corporation of Alexandria, which owns the wharf. Miss Matilda Heymes died last night consumption at the residence of Mrs. Harper, on Cameron street. Miss Heymes was the daughter of Sergeant John Heymes of the United States army, who, for many months, had charge of Fort Washington and in himself constituted the entire garrison. He afterward carried on business on South Lee street near the Midland railway tunnel. Mrs. John Hodgkins died yesterday at her home on Franklin street.

The name of Mr. M. F., Hobbs has also been erased from the notice. In _refer- ence to this matter Mr. Eugene Fowler has sent the following letter to Messrs. Burchard, Ralston and others: “Gentlemen: When Mr. Burchard called on me and requested the use of my office for the purpose of holding a public meet- | ing I readily granted his request, as I um always ready and willing to do anything neighborly and for the accommodation of my townspeople. But I am grievously dis- appointed at your action in the matter. The language used in the several posters is unneighborly and in such bad taste I am constrained to deny you the use of my office for sald purpose.

NOT VOTES ENOUGH To Pass the Seigniorage Bill Over the President's Veto, AN UNEXPECTED AND EXCITING SCENE Great Confusion in the House of Representatives. THE VOTE IN DETAIL —s>—— The silver men in the House yesterday failed to pass the seigniorage bill over the Presidert’s veto. The motion was not made With the expectation of winning, as there was no reason to believe that those mem- bers who were opposed to the bill originally end who voted against it then would be any more favorably inclined toward it on ac- count of the veto. On account of the re- publicans refraining from voting on the first call, however, the two-thirds vote came near being secured, and it was only by the republican votes coming im on the last call that the motion was defeated. . The vote was taken unexpectediy, amid @ most extraordinary scene of confusion. ‘The journal being approved after the seat- ing of Mr. English from the district which Mr. Hilborn had been elected to represent, Mr. Bland called up the seigniorage bill. There was some resistance to this, and Mr. | Tracey raised the question of consideration. |1t was held by the chair, however, that the question of consideration could not stand against a matter of this sort. Then fol- lowed an effort to fix a time for debate. Mr. Bland wanted an agreement for a vote at 3 o'clock on Saturday. There at once arose calls for an immediate vote, coming from the democratic side. The republicans oppused any limit of de- bate, and while the discussion of this ques- tion was going on out of order the question Was put, it being the only thing in order, if no one sought recognition for remarks, and the rojl call was started. In this way an immediate vote was had unexpectedly, re- suiting in 144 yeas and 114 nays. The Speaker States the Question. It came about in this way Mr. bland expressed a willingness to have the vote taken immediately. Mr. Reed, Mr. Burrows, Mr. Ding and Mr. Stone were in earnest consultation to the left of the Speaker's rostrum. As it subsequently appeared, they agreed that Mr. Dingley should make the opening argument for his side. Meantime, no one addressed the chair, and the Speaker stated the question to be on the motion to pass the bill over the President's objections to the contrary not- withstanding. “On this,” said he, looking down upon the confusion on the floor, “the Constitution re- quires that the vote shall be taken by ayes and nays.” He hesitated. Still everyone on the floor, engrossed with the program in the coming debate, heeded him not. “All those in favor will answer aye,” he continued, “contrary, contrary sign.” Again he paused. But no cone addressing him, hé added, with a bang of the gavel, “The clerk will call the roll.” “Mr. Alien,” began the clerk. There was & gasp of astonishment on the republican side, and they awakened to realize that the roll call had begun. The democrats, who were anxious to see debate suppressed, were overjoyed. Amid a great uproar, a dozen epublicans jumped to their feet and clamor- ed for recognition. They saw the coveted opportunity of-exposing to the public gaze the dissensions in the camp of the enemy slipping from them. But they made a hard fight. The confusion was so great that the clerk got ‘no further than the first name. “Too late; too late,” shouted the democrats, as My. Reed tried to make himself heard above the uproar. At last, by dint of hard pounding, a simulation of quiet was re- stored. Mr. Reed's Appeal. “Mr. Speaker,” said Mr. Reed, “my col- league (Mr. Dingley) was ready to address the House upon this question before the roll call began.” “The gentleman (Mr. such statement until after the first name on the roll had been called,” replied the Speaker. “The reason he did not,” said Mr. Reed. “was because the gentl QIr.

THE BERING SEA BILL. Sir George Baden Powell Expresses His Objections. A representative of the Associated Press had an interview yesterday at London with Sir George Baden-Powell, who was British commissioner in the bering sea investiga- tion, During the Interview Sir George said: “The Bering sea bill seems to be Grafted with the object of destroying and not of preserving the seals. It will not, in my opinion, in any way assist in preserving the seals. I regard it as inhuman to urge the sealers to take the femaie seals in pup. “The bill, in my opinion, will tend to @e stroy the seal industry ashore and at sea. Arrangements, however, could easily have been made to preserve the seal industry had expert advice been taken. I am cer- tain that the Americans and Canadians are anxious to preserve the seals, and all par- Ues interested ought to combine and devise new regulations which would be scientific- ally adequate. “But if the three governments have agreed upon it the bill must be passed, al- though experts the measure as worse than useless.” ———e-______ MARTHA FULLER’S DEATH.
