Washington Letter. “Whatever else is left undone, hurry with the army bill.” That is the S»m and substance of what Mr. McKinley says to go to the White house. The reason he wishes the legislation for the increase of the army hurried is, that he has received a hint that the decision of the U. & Supreme court will be against the constitutionality of the Porto Rico act, which would mean that the United States would have to relinquish ownership of the Philippines, and would consequently have no use for a large standing army. He wishes to get the big army provided for before the court hands down its decision, and it will not be surprising if the AttorneyGeneral so manipulates the case as to prevent its conclusion until after the end of this Congress, as Mr. McKinley might prefer not having Congress in session should the decision be averse. This story sounds incredulous, but it is being seriously talked about in political circles,, and there have been | other cases in which administrations 1 have been giveu advance hints of important decisions j of the Supreme court. Any member of the court can usually make a pretty nearly correct guess of how his colleagues will stand upon important decisions from their talk in a general way to each other. Whether the whole story is correct or not, it is absolutely certain that Mr. McKinley is plainly showing his anxiety of the speedy passage by Congress of the Army bill. The Isthmian Canal Commission has handed Mr. McKinley its preliminary report. As expected it favors the Nicaragua route for the canal. The Panama company’s lobbyists are moving heaven and earth to prevent legislation by Congress, in favor of the Nicaragua canal.

According to Representative Hull, Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, which is now trying to put together an army bill that will be supported by all the republicans, many of whom have publicly expressed widely differing opinions of what the bill should provide for, especially as to the number of men, the volunteers in the Philippines will not be brought home until regulars, enlisted under • the bill not even yet written can be sent to take their places.. At least, that is a fair construction to place upon Mr. Hull’s own words. “The army now in the Philippines will have to be brought home in the summer, that is, those of the men who do not care to re-enlist. The transports which go out for them should depart laden with the troops who are to replace them.”

Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, returped to Washington, feeling as chipper as usual. He said: “I am not downcast or discouraged by the licking we got. The most unpleasant feature is it will take us six or eight years to get the Senate. As to the proposition to reorganize the democratic party, it is a fact in natural history that the tail cannot wag the dog; and the same is true in politics. The party does not need reorganizing to begin with. It is thoroughly organized, and even if it were to be reorganized, it would not be from the outside. We want everybody to come in that feels like helping us, but we have a perfect organization of our own. ” Of the probable work of this session of Congress Mr. Clark said: “I think this will be an extremely busy session. The main thing the republicans will do will be to ratify the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and ^pass a Nicaragua Canal bill, in accordance with iWnd to pass Mark Hanna’s ship subsidy bill. If the Supreme court decides 'the Porto Rican act unconstitutional, then the republicans will run races with us as to which will drop the Philippines first. But if it is decided to be unconstitutional, then this session of Congress will have to pass some kind of a bill for the government and control of the islands. This, with the routine measures and the new apportionment under the last census will make it an exceedingly busy session.” The reception of the proposition advanced by the republicans to reduce the representation of the Southern states which have restricted negro suffrage, has been of such general (condemnation that it has abandoned | for the present session and will not figure in the re-apportionment bill which will doubtless become a law in i the near future, but some of its advo

cates hint their intention to try to get the question before the long session of the next Congress.” In the case of Minister Conger, this government is presenting the extraordinary spectacle of keeping a man at his post, which is supposed to carry much authority and discretion and at the same time proposing a scheme to the powers, to absolutely ignore him. Because Minister Conger has views of his own, instead of having adopted those with which the Chinese Minister at Washington has inoculated the McKinley administration, a proposition has been made by. this government to the powers interested to take the negotiation for a settlement with China out of the hands of the foreign ministers at Pekin, and make a fresh start through a commission. The ground for this is the alleged fear that the present negotiations will fail because the foreign ministers at Pekin cannot agree.

Corner Stone Laying. The corner stone of the Hornady j Memorial Baptist church was laid last | Saturday afternoon with appropriate services. At two o’clock services were conducted at the M.

The services as conducted at the church was as follows: Song. c Reading of Scripture. Rev. W. S. Biddle. Prayer. Rev. J. W. Elder. History of the Baptist church from lSHOto the present time. Rev. T. C. Probert. History of the Hornady family. Prof. Hamlet Allen, of Washington. At the conclusion of these interesting services, the people present went to the site of the new church where the corner stone was laid. The services were short. Rev. Probert made a few remarks in laying the corner stone, which was followed with prayer by Rev. C. D. Darling and the singing of the doxology. The box placed in the corner stone contained many interesting documents and papers. Among the articles placed in the box wore the following: Bible used by Rev. David Hornady during his ministry. The bible was published in 188£ Copy of Baptist church manual and articles of faith. History of the church. History of the Hornady family. Copy of minutes of State Baptist asso ciation.
