WORK AMONG TIIE SOLDIERS Washington Presbytery Interested in Spir itual Work in the Army , ENCOURAGING PROGRESS AT FORT MYER Dr. Ilnmlln Cnlti Attention to tlio Absence of Any Ooirrriiinijiit Approprliitlon for Till * l'ur | > a e General New * nf Interest to Array Men. WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE HBE. WASHINGTON , April 20. A subject which received some attention by the members of the Washington presbytery " tery , which has Just completed Its annual Kctslon , nnd a subject which should prove of vast Interest to the soldiers ot the country is that ot iplrltuallstlc work In the army. The Christian Endeavor societies , the Ep- worth league and a member of other or ganizations comprising the Christian workers of the Prcsbyterlun churches of the national capital , have for some time past been per- foimlng valuable work In this line among the troopers at Fort Mryer , Va. , just across the Potomac river from this city. The work was commenced about two years ago and encouraging progress was made among the troopers who were stationed at Fort Myor before they wcro ordered away and the post became the headquarters ot the Sixth cavalry. At one of the meetings of the Washington presbytery UeV. Dr. Tennis H. Ilamlln , the pastor of the Church of the Covenant , the largest Presbyterian church In this city , submitted a report on tha work of his congiegatlon , and In the course of his remarks spoke of the fact that the govern ment In time of peace makes no provision In the way of an appropriation for the prose cution of spiritualistic work among the men of the army stationed at or near a large city such a Washington. Dr. Hamlln said an Instance of this was the case at Fort Slyer , where there are now over COO troopers , and where the only religious labors performed have been by the young workers of this city , who have volunteered their services. He E.ild that his only object In bringing the subject before the presbytery was to have It recognized , as he thought It was deserving of the commendation as well as the support of all. No formal action was taken by the session , but nearly all the members showed a deep Interest In the subject and have promised to give It consideration In the future. GENERAL M'COOK'S RETIREMENT. As the time approaches for the retirement of General McCook Interest In the event In creases among army officers , and It Is being freely discussed today. Occurring on the 2Zd Inst. It Is the most Important retirement this month , and In fact the moat Important retirement that will occur before Lieutenant General Schoflcld goes Into private life In September next. It Is the opinion of the officers hero that General Wesley Merrltt will be promoted to succeed General McCook. It has been suggested , however , that there Is no reason why General Drookc , commanding the Department of the Platte , should not b i appointed to the position ot major general. But the fact that General Merrltt Is the senior In rank will bo a strong argument why he should get the position. At present It Is Impossible to fortell who will be chosen for the vacancy , but , as stated above , the chances appear to be In favor of General Merrltt , who will retire In June , 1900. Gen eral Wheaton and General Forsyth , who have also been mentioned as probabilities , will retire In 1807 and 1808 respectively. General Drooko does not retire until 1902. General Otis , who has been spoken of as a candidate will retire In the same year. There lu no moro certainty now as to who will be selected to fill the position ot brigadier general'llmn there existed some time ago , although Colonel nilss Is said to have excellent chances of re ceiving the appointment. H Is stated that President Cleveland will make the appoint ments to fill the vacancies In the grades of major general and of brigadier general as eon after the retirement of General McCook an practicable. H Is not likely that he will flll both vacancies In the grade of brigadier general , as It Is expected that ono of the them will be allowed to remain until the retirement of General Schofleld. REVISED ARMY REGULATIONS. It Is believed that only a short time- will clapso before the revised army regulations will bo mnde public and published for the information of the army. All the changes have been decided upon and a portion of the regulations are now In the hands of the prlntor. Assistant Secretary of War Doe and Major George W. Davis , the latter a member of the board of publication , are now con sidering the revised regulations with the Intention ot thoroughly examining them In order. If necessary , to eliminate all needless details and such paragraphs as are regarded as superfluous. This final examination Is made on account of the belief that a frequent revision makes Improvement In the way of greater perfection. The cavalrymen at Fort Myer recently gave a special drill for the benefit of Lieutenant General Scholleld. Resides General Schoflcld there were a number of other prominent army officers present to witness the exhibi tion. The drill was the "Cossack drill , " In the performance of which the troopers of the Sixth have won such renown. General Scho flcld was greatly pleased with the drill and with the excellent showing made. Paymaster General Stanton has recently placed an order with a tailor for the full dress uniform with the Insignia of his new- rank. The survivors of the National Rifles of ISCt recently held their annual reunion In this city to celebrate the thirty-fourth anni versary of their muster Into the United States army. General Stanton , who was one of the members of the regiment , was present at the reunion and entertained the others by telling numerous Interesting anecdotes of the early days of the war. It Is probable that a detail will soon bo made as chief paymaster of the Department of the Platte. The question Is now being conoldered by Secretary Lament and ho will 1 likely reach a decision In a short time. 18 NOT KXl'ECTKD. Oeclilon Concerning the Income Tax Cute Mny Ho Olren Monilny. WASHINGTON , April 20. The general ex pectation Is that the supreme court will not postpone Its decision beyond Monday on the application of Messrs. Hyde and Pollock for a rehearing on the Income tax case. This opinion Is expressed by those who are very near to some of the members ot the court. If there should bo a written opinion It would necessarily be brief and the chances are the decision will be a bare annonucemcnt. In case the decision Is adverse to the petition the announcement will be made through the clerk of court and not from the bench. Tlio general opinion ot the .Uiorn'iy ? who are most familiar with the practlc's of the court Is that the motion will not ha granted. They base this belief upon various grounds. | In the first place It Is understood that there Is no deslro on the part ol sitting nvmbers of the court to bring JuUIco JncKson to Washington to sit on ho case , and without hU presence the case < ouU not be tried for a second time at the present tesslo.i. To grant a rehearing and postojtie It unfl next term would , they say , leave the law In a more unsatisfactory condition limn It now Isle and would fall to accomplish nny desirable result. Furthermore , It Is understood that the court has an aversion to granting rehearlngs nnd It has In the past shown a dUpxUlon to resent efforts to secure thi'in. Still , there have been many cases In whtcn oiich petitions have been favorably acted upon , n.itwith standing the prejudice against them , and ' there U a possibility of the court's over ruling Itself to the extent of grunting the motion. .

TCSTINU TUB HLOISI KATION I.Att'B. Cnnnnel for South Curollnn Itopiilillciin * ICx- plrtln DIP llnaiiuin for tlio Hull. WASHINGTON , April 20. K. S. Douglass of the law firm of O'llear & Douglass of Washington , which lias been employed In behalf of tlio republicans of South Carolina to prosecute the suit to test the constitution allty of tlio registration laws of that stite , today confirmed the report from Columbia that Judge Goff had granted n temporary Injunction to prevent further proceedings In Illchlund county under these laws , until the 2cl day of May , when the-case will be again presented to him at Columbia , S. C. The suit asks that the supervisor of registration for Rlchland county be enjoined from further undertaking to register any one under the existing laws , and from delivering the rcg- litratlon books to tlio election managers at the approaching election of delegates to the proposed state constitutional convention. The question was presented to Judge Goff at Clarkesburg , W. Va. , on last Tuesday , where upon the temporary Injunction was granted. Tha matter will come up again on a motion for a rule to show cause why the Injunction should not be continued during the pendency of the suit on Its merits. Mr. Douglass thinks , however , that the hearing of the motion for a permanent In junction will lead to the presentation of the real Issues In the case. Dr. Pope and Mr. Caldwell , democrats , are attorneys In another case of similar Im port of that to Mills , and It also will be presented at Columbia. Speaking of the general purpose of the suit , Mr. Douglass said It was Intended , If possible , to break down the proposed consti tution , falling In that , to secure a change which would allow the voters who are vir tually disfranchised by the registration law to cast their ballots. He asserts that there are about 60,000 such disfranchised men In the state. bOUTIl DAKOTA'S CLAIM ITOIl litND. Argument to Ho Muctii lie-faro the Interior Department During tlio Week. WASHINGTON , April 20. ( Special Tele gram. ) The following telegram was tcdiy re ceived at the Interior department : MITCHELL , S. D. Hon. Hoko Smith , care assistant attorney general , on way to Washington : Short brief sent. Will pre sent claims of state orally at governor's re quest , Tuesday , If satisfactory , Vankton. JOHN II. KING , Agent Attorney. J. J. LOCKAHT , Commissioner. This notice was received In reply to the letter of Secretary Smith to the governor of South Dakota , allowing the state two weeks In which to file briefs to show that It has the right , to file on 50,000 acres ot the Yank- ton reserve. No reply will bo sent by the department to the telegram , as It has been deemed unnecessary. The brief , which Com missioner Lockart's telegram states has been sent , has not yet been received at the de partment. The telegram bears date of yes terday , and It Is expected that the papers will bo In Washington either Monday or Tuesday. Commissioner Lockart will proba bly bo here on Monday. When ho arrives , however , he will prcbably be very much dis appointed , for ho will not find the secretary of the Interior here , since that official left tonight for a week or ten days' visit to his homo In Atlanta , Ga. , and It Is not expected that ho will bo hero during Commissioner Lockart's visit. It Is probable that some ar rangement can be made whereby an oral hearing can be had before the assistant at torney general , Judge Hall , who acts as the legal adviser to the secretary. The final action and approval , however , will have to bo taken by the secretary , and hcnco the decision of the department will necessarily be delayed until the return of Secretary Smith. One of the officials ot the depart ment today said that the hearing will very likely bo concluded In one day and that Im mediately thereafter the department will de cide the matter.

ANXIOUS TO GO IT ALONE Blackburn | Pavon Free Coinage Regardless of the Action of Other Nations , WILL / STAND OR FALL ON THE ISSUE Louisville 1'ost Calls Upon Secretary Car * Idle to Coma Homo unit Shoulder the 1'lglit Acnlnst tlio t'reo Coinage Men No One I'Ato Available. LOUISVILLE , April 20. In an Interview published < In today's Courier-Journal , Senator . ator Blackburn In unmlstakeble terms out lines his position on the silver question and boldly throws down the gauntlet to his opponents \ for simitar candor on the same subject. With his usual aggressiveness , the senator almost dares his opponents lo meet him on the Issue he represents , and It maybe bo assumed the challenge will be promptly acccpt5d. Senator Blackburn has written with his own hand the statement of the position on which ho expects to stand or fall In the senatorial race. He declares his position as follows : "If I have not heretofore shown any dlsn position to bo Interviewed by the dally papers of this city , It has not been because of my purpose to conceal from the people my views on any public question , but be cause I was anxious lo avoid , If possible , a perversion and distortion to which my ut terances have generally ( of course , unln- tentlonally ) been subjected , "I never had , however , and never Intend to have , any secrets In politics. I am at a loss to understand how any one , especially In Kentucky , can remain In Ignorance as to my sentiments upon the sliver question If they feel enough Interest In the matter to deslro such Information. For the last twenty years , In congress and on the stump , anywhere and everywhere , I have earnestly and perclstently Insisted upon the restora tion of the silver metal to that place In tha money system of the country which It al ways held prior to the passage of that dis astrous act of demonetization In 1S73. FAVORS FRED COINAGE. "If there Is ono man In public life In all the country whoso views on this subject wore entitled to be known to all men by reason of his acts and utterances , I had rca- son to bellcvo I was that man. Upon this subject I have never held an opinion nor made an utterance that I have In the slight est degree modified In all these years. Ye * It there Is still any uninformed who deslro to know my views , I will reiterate In the shortest space possible , by saying I am In favor of opening the mints of this country to the unlimited coinage of the silver metal on an equality for the coinage of gold. I am opposed to monometallism and Just as much opposed to silver monometallism. Without reservation , I am a bimetallism I want , and mean to continue , to Insist upon the use of both metals on even terms as the redemption money of this country. I would bo glad to see this result brought about by the action of an International con ference , provided It could be done without delay. I am opposed to this government watting for any such conference to act. Our experience with such agencies has not been such as to give us either confidence or hope of the attainment of this purpose. Upon the contrary , our participations In such conferences have In their very barrenness become farcical and ridiculous. "In 1732 this country , with only 4,000.000 of people , was bold enough to prove Itself able to discard the monetary system of Great Britain and establish one of Its own , which for nearly 100 years met every de mand and stood every strain that the de velopment and growth of the country made upon It. 1 believe that the destruction ( en tailed upon us by this demonetization pol icy ) of one-half our redemption money has contributed moro than any other cause to the shrinkage ) of all values , the depreciation of all property , the stagnation of trade , the paralysis of Industry the financial trouble ? in which wo now find ourselves. MAY NOT BE A CURE ALL. "Whilst It may bo true that the restora tion of silver to Its place of unrestricted coinage and unlimited legal tender function may not prove a panacea for all the ills that wo now suffer , I am convinced It will do moro and go further In that direction than any one piece of legislation that has been suggested. I have an abiding faith In the capacity of this metal to work out and maintain Its permanent parity with gold provided the oppressive hand of the law Is removed and the mints of the country are thrown open to Its coinage. I believe , and always did believe , that the act of 1873 was an unconstitutional measure. I believe the act of 1873 would have been so held by the supreme court of the United States had not a partisan spirit dominated the action of that tribunal. This conviction I have stated In debate on the floor of the senate as broadly as I put It here. "I agree with Daniel Webster , who , In his day , and even to this day , was , and is , still , held to bo something of an authority as a constitutional lawyer. He declared that the constitution of the United States made gold and silver the redemption money of this country , and that neither congress nor any state had any rightful power to substitute any other , nor to destroy either the ono or the other of these metals. If con gress had tha power to demonetize sliver , It must bo conceded that It had thosami power to demonetize gold. It had Been fit to exercise this assumed power as to one of these metals. Had It exorcised the same power over the other , the anomalous and somewhat embarrassing ! situation would have obtained of no money at all. If they could strike down half , they could strike down all. STANDS BY THE OLD RATIO. "I am In favor of the restoration of the silver metal at the ratio of 1C to 1 , bo- llevlng In the light of an experience that covers a century that such ratio will estab lish and maintain permanently the parity between the two metals. I believe we should take this action at the earllst day possible , Independent of the political views of other nations. I have an abiding faith In the ability of my country to establish and maintain Its own monetary sytem ag that which I cherish in its abllty to defend Its own toll from Invasion or its Institutions from assault. "In my Judgment we ore as Independent of foreign dictation or domination In the ono as In the other. "In August , 1893 , when the bill proposing to repeal the purchasing clause of what was known as the 'Sherman act' was be ) fore the senate , I said , In a speech then there delivered , that I wanted the right ol coinage for the silver metal , and that with out limitation ; that If seigniorage was what my opponents demanded , I was willing , Itt t as a matter of fairness , but in a spirit of compromise , that the government should take 10 per cent , or 15 per cent , or 20 per : cent , or even 25 per cent , of the silver bullion presented for coinage , or that It the question of ratio was what was troubling , I was willing , not as a matter : of Justice , but In a spirit of compromise , If 1C to 1 was not acceptable , to take 17 , 18 , 19 , or even a ratio of 20 to 1 , But the opponents of this metal were not to be ) placated by any concessions cither on the line of Increased seigniorage or advanced ratio. They had destroyed the metal by ida prycesg that has never been , In my opin ion , successfully Justified , and from the hour of Its taking effect until now they have never been willing that it should be rein stated. Let those who will , seek to distort and pervent the Issues pending ; the effort will fall. The American people are not to be hoodwinked or deceived further. They are at last thinking , and the result of their Investigation will vindicate the right. No employment of catch phrases will determine the popular verdict. The people are rapIdly - Idly coming to know that the Issue before them Is not gold monometallism upon the one aide and silver monometallism upon the other , but * It 1 rather a contest between the advoncates of a single gold standard upon the ono hand and those who demand the uee of both gold and sliver upon the other. other.STAND STAND OR FALL ON THE ISSUE. "For ono to claim that he ls a bimetallist - list , coupled with too condition that bimet allism Is to be brought .hbitt only as a result ot International coiitotdico , Is a mcro evasion of the eltuatlon ; that Is simply the work of a lawyer who fUei an affidavit for a continuance. My friends In Kentucky , I am sure , know my positionDupon ! this and all other public question ! , .and are satisfied with It. Now If there bo oho upon the list of announced candidates thfe senate who will ' avow himself an opponent ot silver coinage nnd advocate a single ! gold standard , or , In other words , Is In accord with the views held and advocated Tiy your paper , and who will so declare himself , 1 will ask nnd urge every friend of inlno , In Kentucky holding those views , and who , In spite of that fact , Is now supporting hie , to withdraw his support and give It ? to the candidate who has been bold enough to make such a declaration. But I apprehend that none of theto worthy gentlemen wll make such an avowal , unless ho couples with It an an nouncement of his withdrawal from the canvass. If this bo true , If no senatorial candidate will espouse or accept your views , what advantage comes to you by continuing a war upon me because of my convictions , unless you are able to find In the list of aspirants some man who stands upon your platform ? " Senator Blackburn's Interview has called forth an editorial from the Evening Post , calling upon Secretary Carlisle to como and answer the senator. Tlio Post says : "Senator Blackburn's challenge ' .to the administration and to the friends ot the administration Is a challenge which Mr. McCrcary cannot meet nnd which must bo met by the gentleman from Kentucky , who Is , by Invitation of Mr. Cleveland , secretary of the treasury. It should have been met before. Under the defiance of Mr. Black burn and of Mr. Proctor Knott , the sllenco of the secretary savors too much of tim idity. "Tho fight for sound principles , for rea son , for democracy , must bo made , and made before the meeting of the etato con vention In June. "Hard money democrats have waited for Mr. Carlisle to speak ; they have waited for some Indication that ho Is In earnest. Hit Is the natural leader In this contest , and he cannot open the campaign too soon , nor put Into It too much , of the fighting quality. "Tho crisis Is upon the democratic party In Kentucky , and It cannot bo averted. " "Delia Fox Boqucts" that's the best smoke.

Mile , tie Lussan's ' Weary Nerves Tiie World-Famed Prima Donna Made Strong by Paine's ' Celery Compound , 1rf" rf" ' > j * j f 4 i' { "I would not discourage any girl ot real talent r-ho seeks a careerMn opera , but It is right that she should kn'dV'how much hard work Is necessary. Tha road to success lies through dlfllculty and disappointment. " So spake Miss Zello do Lussan , prlma donna , as she sat at her dainty writing desk , and glanced over a pile ot letters. "Only those who have been through It , " she continued , "can understand the strain of singing In a great operatic role. Take 'Car men' for example. Why , at the end of the labt act , when Don Jose has stabbed me , I have been so tired that I don't think that I could have sung another phrase. " "You must have felt the need of something to keep up your strength , " said her visitor. "Yes , Indeed ! " replied Miss do Lussan , "and I found Just what I wanted In Palne's celery compound. It Is most beneficial as a tonic , especially after the fatigue resulting from my performance of an exciting role. I have had the compound In my apartment all the se-ason. "In New York , besides my work In 'Car men , ' 'Don Giovanni' and other operas , I rehearsed the part of Anne In Verdi's 'Fal- staff , ' and sang at the first production of this masterpiece. Although my strength had bcn severely taxed , I sang with perfect ease. I don't think that this would have been possi ble had not my bodily energy been sustained by Palno's celery compound. "H will always afford me sincere pleasure to speak highly of the compound to my col leagues. " Despite her French name , Miss de Lussan Is an American girl. She studied music In New York when she was very young , and her training was completed In Paris. Her American debut was made at the Metropoli tan Op ra House , New York , In the season of 1894-5. She sang In Philadelphia , Boston and Washington , and then went with Abbey & Grau's company , of Chicago. Miss de Lussan is the only American singer who has appeared before the Queen of Great Britain. Palne's celery compound , which refreshed this brilliant performer's weary nerves after many a hard evening's work , Is prized by singers , nctors , clergymen In fact , by all whoso dally occupation Involves nervous and f < emotional tension. Sleeplessness , loss of appjtlte , Indigestion S and a general depression of strength , arc Ilia , with which legions of Intellectual men and women have a mournfully close acquaint- atice. It Is really a pity that anybody should continue to suffffer when Palne's celery com- i pcund will put these afflictions to rout. < ! What Miss do Lussan says of her profea- ' slon Is true of all others. There Is no suo- * cess without hard work. After all the Rna i things said about the dignity of labor , the " fact remains that prolonged work under , pressure shatters body and spirits. t Wherever In this broad land men work and strive , Palno's celery compound Is regarded as a godsend. In shop , ofllce and factory , In the theater and among the weary wives and ! i mothers who bear the burden of domestlq i toll , Palne's celery compound Is prolonging " ! llfo by strengthening every bodily function. * It Is hailed as a peerless remedy In all cases of enfeebled nerves and Impure blood. . - The New Suits You sec on the streets to-day are mostly Nicoll the Tailor " " SUITS We've clothed over 5,600 gentlemen in the past 30 days.
