A New Orleans special of Tuesday,
says: The following DOtice has been giv¬
en for publication aud explains itself:
“On account of certain criticisms, it is
due Gtreral Gordon that I state that the
order of the Union Confederate Veterans
announcing Gen. Beauregard’s death
was written by me. General Gordon
never saw this order until it was pub-
dished in the newspapers, as General
'Gordon was in Washington attending to
his public duties. I took tho responsi¬
bility as adjutant general aad chief of
staff of publishing the order in General
Gordon's name, and am alone responsi¬
ble for it.

the Monday, “regular in the hoiise, the demand for

lon blasted the hopes of a number of
gentlemen congregated in the area in
front of the speaker’s desk, each waving
a bill which he desire 1 to have passed

CAPITAL GOSSIP,
A conference has been ordered on the
military academy bill, Call and Messrs. Cul-
lum, Stewart and were appointed
conferees ou the phrt of the senate.
The course of events in the house nnd
senate will Monday indicate that congress
have finished all its legitimate bus¬
iness when the hammer falls Saturday
noon.
Mr. Colquitt, of Georgia, made his ap¬
pearance in the senate chamber Monday
the first time this session, and he was
the object of sympathetic attention on
the part of his fellow senators.
The president returned to the house
Monday without his approval; the bill
prescribing the number of district attor¬
neys ahd marshals in the judicial district
of the state of Alabama. This is the first
veto of the present session,
Mr. Hatch is red hot about the way he
and his anti-option bill ha9 been shelved
by the house. He made another effort
to get it up Friday morniDg, but for the
third time the house voted in favor of
considering the Indian bill.
The appointment of Hon. Patrick
Wa sh, of Augusta, as commissioner at
large to the world’s Columbian exposition,
is received with much gratification by the
Georgia me mbers of congress, do better
man could have been selected.
Recent events in the West indicate that
democrats will have enough members in
the next senate to reorganize that body
without outside aid. Still, if that aid
should become neccessary it is pretty
well settled that the populist senators
will vote with the democrats. Mr. Peff :r
has given utterance to such a statement.
The controversy in congress over the
appropriation of $3 0,000 for the Colum¬
bus naval display in the Hampton roads
and in New York harbor next April and
the consequent uncertainty regarding
the affair has caused several of the great
naval powers of the world to delay the
acceptance of the invitation to take the
part extended them oy this country.
There will be do action on the part of
congress this session regarding the Ha¬
waiian matter. Senator Allison said in
executive session of the senate Friday
that it was more important to get
through with the appropriation bills than
to transact any other business, and that
the discussion and final action in regard
to the annexation of these islands could
well go over to the next session of con¬
gress.
A comparison between appropriations
and estimates for the past five years
shows that, contrary to what has been
the generally accepted opinion, the ap¬
propriation r have exceeded the esti¬
mates, averaging $250,000 or more per
annum. The reason for this is found in
the fact that appropriations have been
made for ihe Indians and for rivers and
harbors, which were not included in the
estimates. By an amendment to the
sundry civil bill, it is provided that in
the future river and harbor work must
be regularly estimated for.
Whisky Must be Cheaper.
The house judiciary committee Tues¬
day adopted the report of the sub-com-
mittee which investigated the whisky
trust. The report recommends the duty
,-n imported liquors to be reduced from
$2.50 to $lper gallon and the tariff on
al! goods be reduced whenever found
that they are influenced by a trust or
combination. The recommendation is
a so mude that rectifying establishments
be made subject f;o governmental super-
vision, and that all rectified or com-
poundeu goods be stamped so as to show
their components.
