FAIR PLAY FOR THE CAVALRY Their Carbines Laid Aside at the Shooting Range. OFFICERS FOR THE COLLEGES, Senator Manderson's Bill on the Sub- Ject—-Representative Lind on the Retaliation Measure- Ingalls’ Gentility. nator Unsatisfactory Methods, WastiNGTox Bureat Tk Osana Ber, B3 FOURTEENTH STREET, 4 Wastizatos, D. C., Sept. 8. ) Cavalrymen are considerably dissatisfied with the rules which had governed them this year at the shooting ranges, They suy that it is unfair to compare cavalrymen with in- funtry, and compel them to drop their car- bines and take up the rifle with which they arc not | ed to be as familiur as are the infantry. 1t is bolieved that something will be done to remedy this evident wr The practice has a tendency to make the cavalry mon distrustful of his weapon, as the carbine has been invariably thrown aside at the shooting ranges, and the rifle substituted This would indicate that at least who govern the practice of shooting do not regard the carbine s cffective us the rifle, The cavalrymen believe they ought to be per mitted to shoot with the weapon which is permancntly assigned to them for warfare. It is stated at the war department that in future more attention is to be paid to practice which has been permitted to lag for many years. A better weapon is to be procured, and'there arc to be inducements offered to bring the men up to scientific acquirements. Rifles are also to be adopted which will carry less weight in load. OFFICERS FOR THE COLLEGES. Senator Manderson has made arrangement to have called up in the senate, the first of next week, his bill which passed the house this week (with an amendment), providing for tho assignment of sixty instead of forty. a8 at present, army and navy officers fo military and navy instructions at the colleges throughout the country. He says the senate will promptly concur in the house amend ment, and he very gladly aceepts the amend. ment of the house, which includes navy with army offi Senator Mandorson intends to be at Columbus, O, three or four days next week, in attenaance on the national en campment of the G. A, R. ) ON RETALIATION, Lind, the Swedish mem for New Minn., stated in the house t day very clearly his reasous for opposing tl passage of tho Wilson retaliation bill. Mr, Lind quoted from authorities on international law showing when retaliation should be i Aulged in and how far it should extend. He urged that such a_retaliatory policy as that contempiuted would work incaleulable o the ferming interests of the northwest, and besides is designed to go much furthe than the Canadians have gone. He thought that the president had ample power to force Ameri hout_crmbarrassing erican e Mr. Lind paid papects to Wi tof Pennsyl- 1 o designated as the president’s rosu those o't," said Mr, Lind, “has an un- it to be u stockholder and di- rector in the Canadian Pacific railroad, just 88 the Cunadians have and excrciso the right to hold stock in American but whea he comes on this flaor in_that pacity and advocates a bill for the by of his own pocket it is time to call a halt.”” Mr. Lind explained that the enforcement of retaliation such as was contemplated, ‘while seriously embarrassing the roads con- necting the northwest with the eastern sea- board by way of the “Soo" canal, would be highly beneficial to the Canadian Pacific, wh is a representative s holder and director. The speech attr the most profound uttention from the entire house. Mr. Scott was absent, so that he could not reply. The bill was sul assed by a vote of 176 to 4. The four votes n the negative were cast by Messrs. Lind, Bayne, Daisell, and White of New York. ATOR INGALLE' GENTILITY. Tt is very seldom that & white man shows any consideration for colored people in Wash- ington. There are botween seventy and efghty thousand Africans in the national capital, and the great body of the white popu- lation are from Maryland, Virginia and Carolina familios, Ex-slave owners have mot a very high regard for people in black skins even to this day, and only strangers in ‘Washington show very much consideration for the colored people. White men sit in street cars by the hour and permit colored women to stand without any regard for them, but as soon a8 a white woman enters the car the white men rise up as one and profier their seats, The other day a bob-tail street car going to the capitol Lecame very crowded. Three or four men were standing in the aisle, whilo about a dozen were sitting. Finally a colored woman éntered, and placing her basket on the floor, caught onto one of the hold-straps and poised herself to stand till the end of her journey was reached. A very tall, slender wan, with thick eyeglusses and n small gray mustache, was sitting up at the end of the car, and immediately that he w the colored woman standing he aroso and, touching the brim of his hat, said mod- estly and 1 low tones: “Madame, take my seat, wont you?" The colored woman stammered, looked g astonished, thanked the gentleman and down. The man who had given up his seq caught hold of the strup and stood till the capitol was reached. No one seemed 1o know him, aud he evident not know any of the pussengers. The act of the man, however, att tention, because it was ver caused some of the passeng quiry.

McGowan, formerly district attorney and supervisor, fled to Canada over a year ago with £30,000 belonging to the town of Newtou. At the time of his departure MeGowan was en- wod to marry Miss Clark, of Brooklyn. e kuot was not tied on the date fixed fo the event, as McGowan was afraid to cross the Canadian frontier. Last night, however, he appeared in false whiskers at Yonkers. According to arrungoment his brother drove him to Miss Clark’s house in Brooklyn, whore the marriage ceremony was speedily per- formed. The newly married couple then hurried away to Canada. MeGowau s said 10 be dealing in real estate in Toronto under an assumed name, e The Grand Army Encampment.

The building, which had a standing capacity of from four to five thousand people, was packed to over- flowing. On Jadge Thurman's arrival on the platform, J. Watts Corney,the chairman, called the meeting to order and introdu the democratic candidate for the vice presi- dency. The beartiest applause greeted his appearance.

Only Four of the Members Willing to Place Themselves on Record , as Opposed to the Measure. House, WasniNetos, Sent. 8.—The house this morning resumed cousideration of the ro- taliation bill and was addressed by Mr. White of New York, who declared for re- taliation such as would reta upon the enemy and not upen the people of the United States. Ho believed that the first section of tho bill would inure to the benefit of the Dominion of Canada and to the permanent injur, of the country and of “The stoppage of the ship- itin bond would mot hurt g n_ fisherman who had been ong, but would hurt the peoplo tern provinces who had not com y s, And_ while the toba must pay for the trans- an_workingmen if the provisions of the bill were' carried into effect. The question came to him whether, vndor his outh, he shouid vote for the measure, which he believed to be direetly detrimental to the laboring men of his district, In_behalf of what bad been characterized by the gentle- man from_Illinois (Cannon) as beating a gong and furnishing another mallet for the purpose, he would never vote for put- ting a mallet in the hands of any man to beat a Chin gong, who, as he struck the gong, necessarily hit the heads of American work- men and Ameriean enterprise. He beli the bill was unjust, illogical and wrong, if ho voted alone (as he probably would) he would vote against the bill. Mr. Whit thought that if the president prevented Can- adian fish from coming_into this country he would strike the “Blue Noses™ where it hurt. He favored retaliation that would hurt some- body. Proceeding to speak of the competi- tion existing between the American and Canadian trunk lines of railroads, he w terrupted by Mr. O'Neill of Pénnsylvs with the question as to whether he could not devise an amendment to the inter-state com- merce wet which would bring the Canadian raitroads under its provisions. Mr. adwitted to the justice of his course Mr. Wilson of Minnesota declared turn the farmers of the northwest over to the tender mercies of Wall street. Mr. Wilson asserted that a person wh would _precipitate war without imperativ necessity, and without cxhausting ever. honorabic means to avoid it, would merit and call down upon himself the cxccration of cry just and right-minded man. He then analyzed the acts of 1557 to support his asser- tion that every mischiof and every injur. which it is charged would result to ‘the ped ple of the northwest from the enactment of the pending bill would have resulted to them by the enforcement of the act of 1887, That act authorized the president to_prohibit the introduction of Canadian goods. Did any- one suppose that the Canadian government would not retaliate in kind ¢ M. Lind of Minncsota inquired whether his colleague did not suppose that under the the pending bill the Canadians would not puy the United States back with its own coin. Mr. Wilson replied that the bill did not any such thing necessary. The pend- ing bill was particulariy guarded so as not to stroy the business of the northwost, as the t of 1887 would havo done. The gentlemen ou the other side, with one_ exception, while denouncing the pending bill, had déctared their intention of voting for it. This showed a low state of morals or lack of independence unbecoming to men who ventured to charge the president with pusiiianimity. Continuing, Mr. Wilson said that should war be declared, ‘which God forbid, a gun- boat of Great Biitain would scarcely have time to reach our shore before Canada would be a part of the United States. He thought that there would be no war, but should tho queen of England, forgetting the lessons to her ancestors in tho past, ain or diseharge at the United States ono unfriendly gun from oneof her gunboats, he predicted that the echo which It would awaken would not cease to reverberate before Grover Cleveland, president of the greatest_republic_on_earth, would salute Charles Stewart Parnell us president of the youngest ropublie on carth. {App on the democratic side]. Mr. Lind of Minnesota said that if the vending bill became a law the president could, by a single_stroke of his pen, reduce the value of 60,:00,000 bushels of Minnesota and Dakota wheat 7 cents a_bushel. Ho could enhance the exactions of the north- western railronds at least 25 per cent. Ho could eripple the _enterprising men of the northwest, and it was not on account of selfish reusons thathe would vote against the lll. He would vote against it because he belioved that it was conceived for im- proper purposes. It was uncalled for, wrong in theory and _an unworthy cxponent of the power, dignity and honor of the American people. ‘I discussion was further continued by Messrs. O'Neill, of Missouri and Tarsney, of Michiga Mr. Cockran, of New York, said that the address on the other side, which had fur- nished the keynote of the discussion, had been the able speech of the gentieman from Tllinois (Hill). To that gentleman, and to him alone, wis due_the eredit of lifting the discussion to & high level in_the plane of parlinmentary proceedure. But he regretted that while the speech was cloquent it lacked that element of candor and fairness which would have mace it_one of the greatest pro- ductions of this session. Tho gentle from lilinois had charged that the re sentatives of the government in the tr nepotiations with o distinet act of bet of American rights, and b was an_unwritten posts: and that the postscript was between Seccretary Bayard Canadian — mimster, He the introduction o guilty o of the w mitted would lose and the said that the Mills bill and the vote by which it was passed were part of the conspiracy of betrayal, secretly entered into and carried out with' dissimulation and al- most with treason. To cha the president with having negotiated the treaty and trying to hoodwink the people into a belief that it was one purpose, while the Canadians were told that it was for another: with treat ing the Umted States with dissimulation and extending confidence with a Canadian enyoy with letting the people learn the true Chir acter of the treaty from declarations in the Canadian parliament—this to charge the president with something graver than trea- son, with & crime which had no paral- lel in the history of the exccutive ofMice of the Umted States, There were men on the democratic side who would be the last in the world to countenunce the sale of American interests or American dig- nity to the British government. The admi istration of President Cleveland, the motives which prompted his official acts, need no ex- planation to the country. [Democratic up- plause.] The gentleman from Iilinois know that they needed no explanation, because the Bnnple believe them to have been prompted ¥ patriotism and inspired by love of coun- try. [Applause.| It would notdo at this stage of the campaign to atwmpt to manu- facture campaign thunder of this charadtor, for the reason that the people knew how to test. its sincerity. [Significant applause on the republican Ildo.L o regarded that applause with pleasure, He knew to what it referred, and he adopted the declaration of the gentieman from Mis- souri (O'Neill), that the messuge was a cam- paign document, and a great one, because it appealed to the Intelligence and patriotism of the people. [Democratic applause, ] The debate was continued by Messrs, ]gu 'ne, McAdoo, McMillen, Farquhar aud Seney. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, charged the pres- ident with dishonesty in sending in his mes- sage. He was trifling with the American people. American citizens--15,000 fishermen —had been outraged. They asked that thewr enemies be treated in the same way as they had been treated. The present war head of this nation stood paralyzed and silent. Ears ‘would rotrude _ through the hide. Was Grover Cleveland the great type of American citizenship!

But he challenged the democrats to SUNDAY tear down tho enptaig around the life of the ropublican candjdats, Benjamin Harrison, [Applause on republican side.] Tt would stand inspoction, fa public and private. Grover Cleveland might be the detocratio type of American morals and_Amercan _citi zenship, but he (Henderson) would not point the young men of America to him as a model.

Mr. Henderson, disregarding the interrup- tion, proceeded, declaring that the model American for the 60,000,000 Americans was Benjamin Harriso, (Loud applause on the republican side,| Mr. Caruth of Kentuck listening to Mr. Henderson would imagine that outrages on American fishermen were of recent date, instead of happening duriug the republican ‘administrations. The debute having ceased, Mr, White of New York moved to recommit the bill to tho committee on forcign affairs, with instruc tions to strike out the first section, but the motivn was lost without division.
