THURSDAY EVENING, MIRCH 2, 1S93. THE report from Koine that the Pope has been greatly displeased by Che abandonment of the American pilgrim? age, and that be attributes it to the dis? putes between Archbishop Satolli and the American bishops, is probably cor? rect. Though the Catholic Church baa grown phenomenally in this country without one. still an apostolic delegate might be advisable: but be should cer? tainly be an American, thoroughly fa? miliar with the condition of affairs here, and, just as certainly, not a foreigner, who does n'ot even speak the language of the country is utterly unacquaint? ed with its affairs, and therefore natu? rally susceptible to the influence of those by whom he is surrounded. Mgr.

Su tolli lias wrought dissension, rather than unity in the Catholic Church of Amer? ica. The report that Mr. John S. Wise, formerly of Virginia but now of New York, has joined the democratic party, und the Gresham wing ofthat party, at that, can hardly be correct, as Judge Gresham is a low tariff man and be? lieves in the binding obligation of pecu? niary contracts, while Mr, Wise left the democratic party of Virginia because of its support of low tariff, and the long but unsuccessful fight it made against the repudiation of a large part of the Slate debt. Then, too, Mr.

Wise, when be changes bis politics, always goes to, what at least be considers, the stronger party, but every body knows that the Gresham wing of the demo? cratic party is the weaker. Mr. Oi.nkv, the new Attorney-Gen? eral, says "his appointment was more in the nature of a compliment to the bar association of Boston, than to him? self personally." -Mr. Tucker, of this State, is president, not of tlie Boston, but of the national, bar association, and was urged for Mr. Olney's place by members of the latter association in all parts of the country.

His appoint? ment would have been a compliment to himseif and to the national bar associa? tion also. And besides, Virginia always goes democratic at Presi lential elec? tions, while Massachusetts at such elections always goes republicau. the recent cotton conven? tion recommended the raising of small? er crops so as to increase the price thereof. If the planters be like other people there will be a larger crop next year than ever before, for almost every planter, including even those who made the recommendation referred to, acting under the impression that the others will adopt it. and that therefore next year's crop will be small and the price high, will be disposed to plant as big a crop as he can possibly tend.

The forty-eighth anniversary of the pastorate of Rov. the distin? guished Presbyterian preacher of Rich? mond, was celebrated in that city last Tuesday night. The Doctor has said many tnic things during bis long and effective life, but never a truer one, or one that will be remembered longer, than his famous remark, made at a public meeting in Richmond during the unsuccessful campaign against re? pudiation, ''that what is morally wrong cannot be politically right." TitE public debt was increased last month, as it was the month before. The republicau administration does not expire in a blaze of glory. A largo def? icit instead of the hundred million sur? plus in the Treasury, with which it commenced, an increasing debt, fi? nances unsettled, and depressed condi? tion of the agricultural classes, are some of the evil effects it leaves behind it, and if there be any good, nobody re? members them.

WHEN Vice-President-elect Steven? son yesterday eutered the United States Senate, over which he will preside ou and after next Satur diy, the Senators, republicans and dem? ocrats alike, crowded around him and shook his hand. And yet, among the former were several who a few j'ears ago voted to reject his nomination for the minor position of a Washington city judgeship. But republican gall is phe? nomenal.

FROM WASHINGTON. of the Alexandria Washington. March 2, 1SS)3. Associate Justice Jackson of the U. S.

The court will reassemble after its recess Saturday morning and the newly ap? pointed Justice will take the oath of office at 11 o'clock iu the Supreme Court room.

All the States and Territories have received four installments, amounting to $2,992,000, with the ex ption of the District of Columbia, A'aska and the Indian Territory, which ive no institutions to entitle them to a share in the funds.

C. H. J. Taylor, ex-United States Minister to Liberia, formerly of Georgia but now hai i ig from Missouri, Henry Stni h. John Morse Lemuel Bayley, aid Kobe-t Gilcrist, mulattoes, a id Riley, coal black, all of this city, are applicants for the position of recorder ol deeds for the District of Co I lumbia, now held by P.lanch Bruce, mu latto.

The office up to this time has sen worth about twenty thousand dol? lars per annum, but as it was thought that a democrat might possibly havo a chance to get it this year, a democratic House reduced the salary to Taylor says his application is endorsed by Senator Gordon and by the new Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Hoke Smith, who. it is supposed, wotdd hard? ly have endorsed his application for a similar position in Atlanta. The House yesterday evening passed a bill to pay William and Mary College, in Virginia, $64,000 for the destruction of its buildings by the S. forces dur? ing the war between the Suites.

As the bill had previously passed the Sen? ate, all it ueeds now to become a law is the President's approval. Beyond an unusually largo audience in the galleries, and great noise upon the floor, there was nothing in the House to-day indicating that the Fifty se iond Co igrcssis iu its expiring hours. Ex-Congressman Frank Lawler is an applicant for the postmastership at Chi? cago and his application is endorsed by thousands of the people ofthat city. (Jen. McMahon, grand marshal of the inaugural parade, arrived here this morning.

He says if the beautiful weather continues until Saturday the parade will be the greatest in the his? tory of the national capital. There will be 50,000 men in line, that number haviog already been assigned places, ami it is piobable that au additional 10,000 will make application in the next few days. All the late arrivals will be assigned to the sixth division, which bids fair to be the largest in the parade.

On the anti-option bill in the House yesterday the Virginia members voted as follows Ayes, Messrs. Edmonds, Epes, Jones, Lawsou, Lester and Mere? dith. Noes, Messrs. Buchanan and Tucker. Not voting, Mr.

Austria. Turkey, Greece, Rournania, Servia and Crugua have declined this government's invitation to participate in the naval display at Hampton lioads next April. Germany, Russia, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, France, Brazil and the Netherlands will be represent? ed. Russia will havo the largest rep? resentation of any. the Senate to-day Mr.

Vest called up the Washington, Arlington and Mt. Vernon R. K. bill, and it was immediately, without objection, and without debate. This bill authorizes the railroad company to build a free bridge across the Arlington, opposite Observatory Hill in this city, over which to run an electric also for horses and pedestrians, and which shall not cost the government I oue cent.

As soon as the bill was passed it was engrossed in the office of the Secretary of tha Senate, and Mr. Wise, chairman of he House commerce committee, which has rej o. ted it favor? ably, has promised to call it up in the House at the first opportunity, and the friends of the bill say Mr. Speaker Crisp iias promised to recognize him for that purpose. It is said at the Capitol that Rev.

J. Thompson Cole, formerly of Virginia, assistant rector of Epiphany Episcopal Church, in this city, may possibly be elected chaphvn of the (J. S. Senate, in place of Rev. Mr.

The city is rapidly filling up, and the Capitol and all th'e other public buildings and Pennsylva? niaavenue were crowded to-day with the vanguard of the inauguration visit? ors. Among them are hundreds of Vir? ginians, from all parts of the State, but the hundreds will grow to thousands on Saturday. Fight Among bat? tle took place Thursday night near Crisfield, between the dredgers and the Virginia police schoouer.

The dredgers were doing effective work in Tangier sound, on Woman's Marsh, when Captain Reed came up and open? ed lire with his cannon. The dredgers replied with riHes, and then the firing became general. It is reported that the police schooner was obliged to with? draw. No lives were lost or vessels captured. Scarcely a night passes with? out trouble in Tangier or Pocomoke sound and the bitterest feeling is oc casioned.HThe dredgers from different parts of Maryland operate right across the line and then, through fear of the police, retreat with shells and seed as well as oysters.

Such proceedings must eventualy deplete all the beds. It is the general opinion in Somerset, that Taugier sound ought never to have been opened to dredgers after be? ing once closed. This sound would by this time have been a great tonging ground aud there would have been plenty of oysters. Au effort will be made to have the sound closed by act of the next Legislature and arrange matters so that the tongers of both the States of Maryland and Virginia shall have the right to tong from shore to shore. In such a case" Somerset tong? ers would assist Virginia in protecting these oyster bottoms.

To Plead for Her Crown, Princess Kaiulani, who comes to this country from England to plead for her crown and her Hag in Hawaii, reached New York yesterday. With her were Mr. Theopbilus Davies, his wife and daughter and Miss Wharton.

The call for the annexation of her kingdom to the United States brought the Princess to this country. She will remain in New York two days and will then go to Bjstoii, and thence to Washington. She will make her appeal after Mr. Cleveland's inauguration, believing that she stands a better chance with a democratic administration than she would with the republican. The Princess is eighteen years old, and is the daughter of Archibald Scott Cleg horn, a native of Scotland and Hawaii? an receiver general of customs when Queen Liliiuokul.ini was deposed.

Her mother, who is dead, was the Princess Like Like, sister of the late King Kal akaua. In regard to the various aspects which the Hawaiian government is likely to assume, Princess Kaiulani re? ferred to her guardian, Mr. Davies, who had prepared a statement, both on his own and her behalf. The statement of Princess Kaiulani is as follows: "To the American People Unbidden I stand upon your shores to-day where I thought so soon to receive a royal welcome on my way to my own king I dorn. I come unattended except by the loving hearts that have come with me over the wintry seas.

I hear that commissioners from my land have been for many days asking this great nation to take away my little vineyard. They speak no won! to me and leave me to find out as I can from the rumors of the air that they would leave me without a homo or a name or a nation. venty years ago Christian Ameri? ca sent over Christian men and women to give religion to Hawaii. They gave us the Gospel, they made us a nation and we learned to love and trust Amer? ica. To-day three of the sons of those missionaries are at your capital asking you to undo their fathers' work.

Who sent them Who gave them authority to break the constitution which they swore they would uphold "To-day a poor, weak girl, with not one of my people near me and all these Hawaiian statesmen against me, have strength to stand up for the rights of my people. Even now I can hear their wail in my heart, and it gives me strength and courage, and I am strong in the. faith of God, strong in the knowledge that I am right, strong in the strength of seventy million of people, who, in this free land, will hear my cry and will refuse to let their Hag cover dishonor to mine." Mr. Davies in his statement recites how and when the Princess was sent to England and put under bis protection in order to prepare herself to assume the Hawaiian throne. Continuing Mr.

Davies makes an argument against the annexation of tho islands by the United States. VIRGINIA NEWS. Mr. Frank Alexander, a leading mer? chant of died yesterday of i pneumonia. Pie leaves a ife and two children.

The Woodlawn Farmers' Club met at the residence of Frank Williamson Sat? urday. February President Harrison in the chair. The minutes of the hist meeting were read and approved.

There being no special subject before the club, queries were raised as to cer? tain statements made at the Mauassas Institute. First. Do the butts of dry corn stalks shredded have the same food value as the top and blades? Unani? mously decided in the negative. Second. The relative value of bailed cotton seed hulls as compared with wheat straw.

James W. Roberts being the only one in the club who had experimented with this food, dissented from the views of the editor of the Southern Planter, who gave their cost value as per analysis at three dollars per ton. and would prefer wheat straw. Mr. Roberts is so well satisfied with the results that he has ordered a carload, holding that chemi? cal analysis does not prove the value of a food product.

The late Frank Curtis, of New York, held similar opiniou in regard to feeding turnips to stock. Mr. Roberts believes in a change of food and does not depend on hulls ex? clusively as a fodder ration. Reference was made to a recent exportation ol beef fattened entirely ou the products of cotton seed. 3d.

The radical departure on the road system advocated by Jackson was discussed, and the conclusion reaeh ed was his theories were in the main cor? rect but impracticable until public senti? ment was educated to a higher stand? ard than at present. An article in the Country Gentleman on Ohio roads was read and its views approved. The thought was expressed that with the system now in force better results might be attained were our county and dis? trict officials, from the highest to the lowest, imbued with a more enlighten ed and progressive spirit.

Morton to Vice President-elect and Mrs. Steven? son, at their residence on Scott Circle, Washington, marked another deviation Air. Morton from tho traditions sur? rounding bis position. It was an un? precedented thing for the out-going Vice President to bestow any recogni? tion, official or social, upon his success? or, the exchange of such compliments having heretofore been confined to the occupants of the presidential chair. Mr.

Morton had served in the House of Representatives of the Forty-sixth Con? gress with Mr. Stevenson, and ever since there has existed between them a sincere and mutual esteem and regard. In anticipation of the event, Mr. Mor? ton's elegant mansion had been deco? rated with palms, ferns, foliage plants and cut flowers. Mr.

and Mrs. Morton received their guests iu the doorway separating the parlor from the corridor, out of which rises the grand staircase, and which oc? cupies the center of the west end of the house. At their side stood Mr. and Stevenson, to whom the passing throng were introduced in turn by the host. It was a distinguished and representative gathering that greeted the new official aud his wife.

The in? vitations numbering six hundred, and but few of the recipients failed to re? spond in person, hut there was no crush to interfere with a full enjoyment of the event by all present. There were the members of tho Senate almost en masse, with whom Mr. Stevenson will be so intimately associated the next four years: members of the Cabi? net, assistant secretaries of the depart? ments, heads of the bureaus, the New York and Illinois delegations in the House of Representatives, the justices of the Supreme Court of the Cnited States, and of the District ofColum-j bia and Court of Claims the diplomat? ic corps, in all the brilliancy of the in? signia of their several orders and hon? ors the heads of tho army and navy, and a good sprinkling of the subordi? nate officers. In addition to these official guests, tho Vice President and Mrs. Morton presented to Mr.

aud Mrs. Stevenson a large number of their personal friends. During the evening an admirable musi? cal selection was rendered by the fa? mous Marine Band, under its new lead? er. Professor Fancuilli, and an elegant collation was served in the dining room. Among the guests were the members of Mr.

After little morning business hail been disposed of the postoflice appro? priation bill was taken up, and its con? sideration pending ques? tion being the amendments recommend? ed by the committee on appropriates $196,614 for necessary aud special fa? cilities in trunk lines from via New York and Washington to Atlanta and New Orleans. There were several modifications of the para? graph otlered yesterday, but Mr. Cul lom (in charge of the bill) otlered a sub? stitute to-day which was accepted by all the Senators interested and was agreed to. The substitute (which is made to ap? ply to the fast mail service) reads necessary aud special facilities i on a trunk line or lines, 51196,614 pro vided that the Postmaster-General shall select the trunk line or lines which shall carry the mails, if he shall deem the expenditure al-atisfactory aud desirable one." No other amendment to the bill being contested the bill was passed. The bill having been passed.

Mr. I Cullom made a statcmeut as to the amount appropriated, showing the de I partment to be practically self-support Ting. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up and its consideration proceeded with. The Indian appropriation bill was still before the Senate at one o'clock, aud at that hour the Vice President laid before the Senate the New York and New Jersey bridge bill as the "'un? finished business." Mr. Hill said that, so far as he was concerned, he had no objection to the bridge bill being iaid aside temporarily until the Indian appropriation bill was finished.

Mr. Hiscock had an objection to that course, preferring to have the Indian bill roceeded with "on motion" so as to shift the bridge bill off the track. Mr. Dawes, in charge of the Indian bill, said that objection being made he should have to make the motion. Mr.

Hill inquired of the chairman of the committee on appropriations whether any other appropriation bill was likely to be ready, after the pas? sage of the Indian bill. Mr. Allison said that the deficiency bill was ready and would be taken up at the earliest possible moment, and that would be the last of the appropria? tion bills. Mr. I give notice that at the close of the bill now before the Senate I will move to take up the bridge bill unless I am crowded out by an other appropriation bill; and if I be, I shall ask the Senate to have a session this evening in order to consider the bridge bill.

Mr. Dawes's motion was agreed to: and the consideration of the ludian ap? propriation bill was resume 1. house. A number of resolution were adopted for the printing of public documents. One of these gave rise to an acrimon? ious talk between Mr.

Holman and Mr. Richardson. The former sent to the clerk's desk and read a letter from a private citizen reflecting upon the com? mittee on printing and stating that that committee had attempted to shove through the "printing bill" during the absence of Mr. Holman. When the clerk read the word "confidential" at the end of the communication, Mr.

Hol? man immediately withdrew it, stating that he did not notice that it was "con? fidential." But even the withdrawal did not satisfy Mr. Richardson and be vigorously denounced the stat orients in the letter and defended the commit? tee on printing. Mr. Gates called up the message of fie President vetoing the bill to pre ribe the number of District attorneys ami marshals in the judicial district, of Alabama. The motion was put "Shall the bill pass, the President's objection to the contrary Tl bill was passed over the veto, yeas 17S, nays 54.

The Senate amendments to the post office appropriation bill were non-con? curred in and the bill was sent to con? ference. Mr. Holman submitted the conference report ou the sundry civil appropria? tion bill. Mr. Bankhead, who is chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds, opposed the adoption of the conftreuce basing his opposi? tion on the public building amend? ments.

The great event in Washington this evening will be the arrival of the President-elect. I The special traiu bearing Mr. Cleve? land and his personal guests is expect? ed to reach Washington in time for a late dinner. According to precedent, President Harrison will, within an hour or two after Mr. Cleveland's arrival, drive from the White House to the Ar? lington Hotel, aud there give personal greetings to his successor and his pre? decessor.

Aside from the call, it is probable that Mr. Cleveland will try to avoid receiving to-night the throng of visitors who will undoubtedly be? siege the approaches to his apartments at the Arlington. The rooms reserved for the Cleveland family and their im? mediate party have been most elabo? rately decorated by Mr. Roselle and Manager Bennett. On Friday President-elect Cleveland will return the courtesy of President Harrison by himself calling at the White House.
