WASHINGTON.

* The Administration Church/ after I March 4, says a Washington dispatch. Is to bo the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev. William Bartlett, formerly of Chicago, is pastor. It is the church which the family of Mr. Blaine has attended, but

because of its rapid growth and great wealth a project was 6t;rtcd a year ago to build a new church in tho West, and the money has partly been raised for it. The last Democratic President attended this church, as did Abraham Lincoln. The pasitor at that time was the Rev. Dr. Gurley, a classmate of Gov. Cleveland’s father in Prinoeton. The present pastor, Dr. Bartlett, was a classmate of Grover Cleveland. The Mexican pension bill is the first unfinished business in tho lower house of Congress, and will probably receive early attention. The Senators In charge of tho bills for the admission of Dakota and Washington Territories will press those measures as rapidly as possible.
