WASHINGTON I.KTTKK. From our Regular CoiiesjonJoiit. J Washixotox, Match HJth, 1SSS. The national capital has known next to nothing about lit? test of the world for the past few days in consequence of the Ktorm which vis ited it in company with the severest blizzard of the winter. lloi eat gave l,""l",,u"mo - . m-ch for years. .Nt only were tele- MRidi poles and wii'ca blown down " 1 1 :i .1. .. ,.i.t. .... :i I... i ....t l..,t w.m.x. vro ... ! turnt'ii aixt u cm torn up iy iiu rooU all vcr the city.

Again this week, the senate was treated to a batch of petitions pray ing for prohibition in the District of Columbia. Although no action has been taken on tbe local option ques tion here, it is understood that sev eral members of the senate district committee have that subject under consideiation, and that a variety of plana have Ixen suggested. There is a atroug sentiment in favor of making every adult resident 'of Washington, both male and female, eligible to vote upon the question. . It is also urged that the question shall be so presented that if tho ver dict of the people is not in favor of prohibition, they may have an op portunity to state what solution of the liquor question they prefer. Another question under consider ation ia as to whether high license legislation or other action to de crease the number of saloons or re move the worst features of the pres ent system ehould lx taken, pend- mg the proposed popular vote. The latest tariff bill introduced in tbe bouse was Mr. Uandall's rev enue bill, upon which he baa bt f-n at work and has employed the -f-forts of tarilf experts for many months. It strikes out the tobacco tax, reduces tbe whUky tax. and makes but sm.ill chance in customs .duties. Tbe republican lenders do I not admit that they like it. They win not suy um. im ..... adopt it. The majority of the .lem- Ml 1 .- ,'nl,it,l irk, ocrats ridicule it. There is a determined effort ou tho part of the large cigar inanity facturers to prevent any repeal or reduction of tbe tax on cigais. Pe titions to thia end are received every morning in the house and referred to tbe ways and means committee. They claim that the trade will be seriously affected by a repeal or re daction of tbe tax, and that the workingtuen will be decreased in conaequence. Among seuatorial speechea of the! week may be lnentioned that of Mr, Colquitt, of Georgia, highly in dorsing the presided' tariff. rue bHge: that of Senator Beck on tbe (lenontization of silver; Senator Dolph'a protection speech, declaring the tariff bill prepared by the dem- ocratin majority of the way and means committee to be destructive to every industrial interest ou the Pacific coast. Senator Allison tried to bring the undervaluation bill to vote, and Senator Sawyer spoke of early action on private pension billa.

On last Sunday afternoon tbe ,dirty windows of the dingy old police court room lighted ftn unwonted w'ciie, A placard on the railing in front of the build iug announced that the V. C T.

Hihop Pa ret confirmed thirty four people at Acemion church on lat Sunday. When tbev Wftlk(d up to the chancel, amoiig their number was a Mingle China man, the first of the rtte to unite with a Chiititiau church in Washing ton.

All these vexations and trials have. it now seems, been overmuch for the aged queen to bear up against. Nor is the forecast for ber kingdom satisfactory or consoling. The con dition of Ireland, the growing dis content of her subjects in Wales and Scotland, and even iu F.ugland; the portents of terrible and widespread war in Europe, the menacing attitude of Hussi i, in respect to her poses sionsin India, the complications in Kgypt, and Iho disposition of her tory ministry to aggravate rather than conciliate affairs nt home and abroad all the-e Hie very wearying and wealing to ber imperious nature and consuming pride.
