WASHIII6T0.1 I.XvTTKU Oar Kvfrlar CarreapeaOeni «•»«• Its • Batch of New*. Some idea of the (tank; existing in administration circles, on aceouut of the l nospeet of republican defeat in the congressional campaign, may be had from Bess Hanna’s estimate, after going over ail the information in the possession of the republican cop sessional committee that it would require a campaign fund of $2,000,000 to elect a republican majority of the next House. Hanna is chairman of the national committee, and under ordinary conditions, would have nothing to do with the congres sioual campaign. But existing conditions are not ordinary. On the contrary, they are extraordinary, from Mr. McKinley's point of view. Chairman Babcock of the congressional committee, told Mr. McKinley

that he consnlered the fight already Then Hanna was telegraphed for and asked if lie could ihh save the llonse for his party. He deckled that it would take $3,000,000 to do it, and made ofit a list of men who must put up that amouut. They are the same men who furnished him the money he used so lavishly two years ago, and already they are being personally waited upon and made to come down again, some of them by Hanna hituself and others by bis agents. Col. W. J. Bryan, who has been confined to his bed by an attack of malaria, is now notch better, and expects to return to his regiment alter a short stay in the Virginia mouutains. None of the many attentions paid Col. Bryan during his stay in Wash* iugtou, gave him more pleasure than a magnificent basket of rtaes from the , executive committee of the Maryland democratic association. accompanied by a communication, from which the following is quoted: “The executive committee ot the Maryland democratic association deem it a privilege and a pleasure to present this basket of flowers to Col. W. J. liryan. as a token of llieir resjsvt, love and esteem for him who, more Ibau any man living, stands as tile personification of the most vital i.->ue affecting the welfare of all the people of our nation and of the world. The intelligent, aggressive and disinterested adrueacy of the cause of the plain people that marked your entrance into public life at once , awakened a response tu the hearts of our countrymen, and singled you out as an object of their affeetton. Your steadfast devotion to principle, tour untiring xeai in the cause of the people', and the recognition by them of your mre talents, combined to make ypu their chosen leader in their contest lor deliverance from the evils that ar* threatening the overthrow of republican institutions and tin* esiabiishineut of a plutocracy to rule aud plunder under forms of law.”

Gen Fit* Ijee, who was ordered to Wash-irirH-h Um week. lm? gone to West Point to • it his son. who is a cadet there, but w. il return to Washington in a few days. IvepublMui influent# is being brought to i«o*r u(>oo the administration to cause it to j give General Lee only a subordinate coinuutod t the Cuban army of occupation, iu»teau of command of the entire army. It was to sound htra. in order to find out I: >w far lie would allow himself to be pushed j "to the background without tendering hi* r gnat ion, that he was sent for. General L'Vi admirer* hope that if he is tendered j any thing less than command of that division ! o. the army of occupation that will have ii. ana for its headquarters, he will tender his resignation and leave the army at ouce. j if he gets less than that, a very positive prom, wilt be violated, but that happens j frequently in Washington. N Not being admitted to Boss Platt's con- j fldence 1 cannot vouch for its correct news,! but there lias been a lot of talk around j Washington to the effect that '‘Teddy” j Roosevelt was nominated for governor with j the deliberate intention of ending his polit- j ical career by getting him badly defeated, and that be is to be traded for legislative! Tote* wherever to do so prill increase the chance of electing a republican member of ‘ th • legislature. According to this talk,: Mr. McKinley and Boss Platt are acting ’ together in this scheme to get rid of^ “Teddy" and at the same time elect a legb- ] lat :hw that wilt send a republican successor 1 to heoator Murphy. Democratic advices! indicate very strongly that the democrats ; will control the legislature as well as elect the entire state ticket. They say they can ' beat Roosevelt without any assistance from I Platt amt his kmfers. Although General Joe Wheeler has been offered command of all the cavalry that will go to Cuha with the army of occupation, there are reasons for believing that he will not go to Dube, unless there is a hitch : in negotiating the treaty of peace at Paris. A dee* friend of General Wheeler says he will resign his commission and resume his congressional duties as soon as the treaty of peace is signed J* he has no hankering alter the command of a mounted police ] .force, in Cuba or elsewhere, and that is • about all our cavalry will be after the treaty of peace becomes an accomplished fast That investigation commission promisee! to do some investigating this week; it has done nothing yet but get ready, except to I abandon the idea of star chamber sessions,j and agree to have the press associations, represented at all sessions where testimony j is taken. .

The Black Diamond Railroad. Mr. E. E. Watts, civil engineer of Princeton, Indiana, in charge of the Black Diamond railway surveys in the Booster state, with 225 miles projected was at the Grand yesterday. “The lines surveyed in Indiana go through the best coal and agricultural lands in that state,’* said Mr. Watts, which would be a most valuable feeder to any railway system. The coal area is 2,500 square miles, and many of the veins run from to 8$ feet and the quality is flue. Pike couutv, which the line crosses for twenty miles, has, according to the latest reports of our geological director, the best coal in the state in vast quantities. The me also

runs through the picturesque French Lick and west Baden Springs Valley, familiar to many Cincindatians. It is my opinion that the road will be built, and if the report of the great English engineer, now examining the surveys is favorable, and the expected British capital is put up, the eutire system of 1,55$ miles can be constructed in Id months. With a corps of surveyors I located a few years since 63 miles aPtJuT Rock Island road, upon which we djid not start surveying until August 10. and by January 1 of the following year, less than i\ve mouths, the line was finished. Hun. dreds of miles of this projected Black Diamond road could be built as rapidly as upon the level plains of the West, and. with our improved methods of railroad construction, past records could be easily broken.” Sir Thomas S. Tailored, the most eminent British railway engineer living, arrived at the Grand hotei yesterday morning to {'ass upon the surveys and profiles of the proposed l$lack Diamond railroad from Ohio aud Indiaua to the sea at Port Koval, S. 0. He is accoiupauied by Hon. T. C. Dickiuson of Washington, D. C., who is the financial agent of the road in Europe. This great engineer. Sir Thomas S. Tailored, is here to go over the entire route, which an’! take him six weeks by buggy travel, and upon bis rejiort is contingent the capitalization of the route by English people. Yesterday at the Grand there met Sir Thomas Taucml a number of representative citizens along the propu>ed route to assure him of their earnest intentions in the road. No question about getting the money to build the road. The question at issue is, will Sir Thomas Tancred approve of C-olonel Boone's plan of building all the lines of the Black Diamoud double track? Sir Thomas Tailored will leave here Thursday for a personal observation of the route, first goiug over the line to Columbus and then doubling back to Dover, Kentucky, and over on the main line to Port Royal. South Carolina.—Cincinnati Enquirer. September 20.

Martha Washington ^ methods and styles were no where visible. The elegant effect of having followed the latest ideas in the combining of colors and the newest methods of arranging her trimmings is the secret which euabled Mrs. Perdue and her trimmer to show hundreds [of our citizens the most beautiful creations in artistic millinery ever shown in Pike county, and the prices ranging as they did from $1.35 to $12 sent every lady away rejoicing that she may there, whether rich or poor, find any priced millinery in perfect keeping with all the elegance and style of the 19th century.
