tTTASIIIXGTO LETTER,
from ni Regular Correspondent.!
j VkmQTon, June 1, 1888.
Af lh present writing General
SLerian's condition it again verj
criticil, and bin death mar occur at
anyfime. A few days ago tbere
set Vl to be acme chance that the
general might pull through and the
sol-Lira were congratulating them
selrti od memorial day that they
werepared one melancholy duty
wbicjS two days lwfore had aeemed
an inevitable part of decoration day
programme. General Sheridan has
fared death many times and in
manj aha pea during hia adrenturoue
career, but probably nerer came in-
destroyer as duting hia recent
ill-
ness.
Notwithstanding the forbidding
weather, which Incomes a theme of
absorbing interest on memorial day,
the graves of the soldiers who sleep
on the hillshles of Arlington, Con
gressional. Soldiers Home and oth
er cemeteries around the capitol
city were remembered, and the usual
annual exercises were carried out.
Tie District militia and the (. A.
IL united in an unusually attractive
parade iu spite of the prospects of a
wetting. As usual the exercise
consisted in decorating the graves
with flowers, in orations, the read
ing of poems, music and prayer.
At the Soldiers Home ceremonies,
while a prayer was being offered for
(Jeneral Sheridan, every head was
bowed. The orators of the day
were Senators Palmer, of Michi
gan, Manderson, rf Nebraska, Gen.
eral Browne, of Indiana, and Kep
rcseittnlive McKiuney, of New
Hampshire.
A long session of congress is pre
dicted. It is the opinion of some
prominent member of congress
that the tariff bill cannot be brought
to a final vote in the house before
the middle of July, and then if the
senate should conclude to consider
it, it would le some time in August
before the bill could be ret u rued to
the house, and then a conference
committee would have to consider
it. So from this standpoint it will
be September Itefore congress can
ajoU.n.
Since the Mills t iriff bill readied
iUciisis, consideration by eections,
on a final vote as it stands, the re
publican., huvo caucused many time
without being able to frame a sub
stitute for the bill tbat would be
Bitisfactory to the party. Theiefore
I hey decided to proceed by way of
obstructing and amending the bill.
Two other things the3 decided upon
was that they would have the IMair
educational bill and all the general
pension bills on the calendar
brought up for cousideration as soon
as possible.
The end of the contest for secret
executive sessions came on Monday
Iast. when Dv a vole ol twenty-two;
, .
against twenty-two, a strict party
vote, the republicans decided that
the fisheries treaty should be dis
cussed iu open session, with open
doors and crowded galleries. The
debate on this question bus been
Lot through all the half-dozen fas
hions behind closed doors which it
has occupied, but on Monday it was
hotter than ever. Senator Sher
man's motive in turning around,
after having voted and reported
against the open session resolution,
was very freely criticised. The .en-
ate was plainly told that Mr. Sher
man was at the bottom of the whole
(pen session movement, and that
his candidacy for the presidential
nomination was the mainspring of
bis action.
The recent talk about nomiuating
Judge Tbunaan for vice president
recalls the fact that every occupant
of that place who was more than
sixty years old wheu elected has
died in office. The list is limited
to five, aud all the names are well
known to readers of Auiewcitu his
lory: Clinton, Uerry, King, Wilson
and Hendricks. If elected, Judge
Thurman would be eeveuty-Iive
years old within a few days of his
election, and, hence, as regards the
nrobabilitea of his survival, would
j naTe fifteen years on the wrong side
j of the account.
I Senator Sherman was very irate
! over the president's veto of the
I Youngstown, hio, public building
i. He drew a parallel lietweeu
the president's veto power aud that !
of the czar of ltussia, and the sul
tan of Turkey, and announced the
fact that he would make an effort to
pass the bill over his veto.
Kiairsiar aad Plaral.
The question is as to mumps.
Should one say mumps t',nr mumps
are whatever one pleases? The
American Magazine for June con
tains the answers of a dozen or more
of eminent men of letters philolo
gists, grammarians, professors and
authors upon the disputed ques
tion. Oliver Wendell Holmes is of
the opinion that ''mumps is" i cor
rect. Prof. Coldwell of Vassar Col
lege coincide. J. O. Holland tbinka
"mumps ar," should be spoken
and written. George Wm. Curtis
declares for the siugular number.
Rev. Edward E. Hall of Boston
straddles the question, and quotea
Pope and Swift at variance. Richard
Grant White couldn't distinctly say.
Professor Barnard of Columbia col
leg expresses his opinion for "is."
With him agrees President Porter
of Yale college. Professor Higgin
son of Cambridge, quoting Webster
and Worcester for "are," in hia
fellow thought "are
re the correct
way. Mark Twain quotes Emerson
in support of "is." Which is cor
rect. The doctors differ. Who
shall decide? No one need have
mumps to determine. Any who
have mumps do not borrow more
pain or trouble in the determination.
None will question that the thing,
the main thing is, to be cured of it
or tin-Hi. A mump on one cheek is
an atHiction. To turn and receive
auottier mump on the other side is
implied according to scripture re
ferring to the matter of cheeks. And
this would not be at all singular.
What to fiud out, according to tlie
rule of grammar, is, whether a
mump are mumps, or mumps i a
mump. l)on't let either burst in ig
norauce. Then again, should a phy
sician charge as much for treating
one mump as ho would for treating
a case of two mumps, on the same
person? The doctors of physic
should ngice upon this last proposi
tion. J.ct there be bgliL dollars
"is" and dollars "aro" involved.

from Judge Swan.
A letter from Hon. Jas. (!. Swan
(written from Wash.. I. C,,) to
Major Van liokkelen, has been
received. It gives numerous items
of interest to our people among
which is the fact that the U. S. Fi.h
Commissioner will send tho first lot
of lobsters for Tuget Sound to le
planted in Port Townsend bay; that
lie is hopeful of lieing able to sccuio
reduced transportation rates ovtr
the railroads for our fishermen's
freights, so that they an get their
fish to the markets of the cast with
out having the profits all eaten up
by freight charges; that Charlee
Francis Adams, the great Union
Pacific railroad king, will visit Port
Townsend this suiiiiuc; that east. rn
fishermen are getting up a regular
stampede for our waters; nnd many
other matters which g to show that
tho judge is alive to all our interests.
Ho will go to Gloucester, where he
will furnish all needed information
to fishermen who intend coming
here. Argus.
Napoleon Hat Is Katillc in Illinois.
McLr.vxsisor.o, 111., June 10. The
largest ratification meeting ever held
in this county was held at tlie court
house last night to ratify the nomina
tion of Cleveland and Thurman.
Hon. Napoleon Puvis, an Oregon
delegate to the national convention
and who is visiting relatives and
friends in this his native county, was
waited ujn by the central com
mittee and invited to address the
meeting. Mr. Davis, on beinjfj
trodaced by the chairman of the
meeting, made a happy and telling
speech that received the applause
and cheers of the vast audience.
The bird of Lefty Fllfflit.
Darwin while watching long the
lofty flight of the Lammergsier's
American cousin, the condor, in its
great circling sweep at enormous
altitude above the Chilean plaint,
wondered at the bird'e power of thus
ailing, hour after hour, io those
great, sweeping circles, without any
apparent motion of the out-ftpread
winga. He arrived at the probably
correct solution of the puzzlea
puzzle which has bothered a good
many other observers iu watching
the spiral flight of the eagle and the
red-tailed hawk. The extended
winga gave not a single flap, but
aeemed to form the fulcrum on
which. the movement of the rt of
tailacted. "If the bird wished Io
descend, tho wings were, for n
moment collapsed ; and when again
expanded, with on altered inclina
tion, the momentum gained by tho
descent seemed to urge the bird up
ward with the even and steady
movement of a paper kite."
There is something attractive in
such a spectacle. The condor is
known to soar far nbove tho loftiest
peaks of tho Andes, which lift tlteir
snowy tops to elevations four miles
above the sea; indeed, it is known
to rise six miles in vertical height
far above all ordinary clouds and

H. Last
night two lightweight pugilists of
this city fought four of the hardest
rounds witnessed since the memor
able contest . between nmateura
Cbynoaki and Kencaly. The names
of the contestants were Haines aud
Bowers; the trophy to the win tier
being a lady's heart. They were
both in love with a j'ouug lady. She
loved both of them, but couldn't
decide which she loved best, so she
determined to let them decide the
matter in the pugilistic ring. Three
bard rounds were fought, but the
fourth round ended the contest.
Such slugging had not been seen nt
the City Front club for many
months. Finally Baines got home
a chance blow on Bower's chin, aud
the latter's head was the first to
strike the hard boards. His seconds
rushed to pick him up before the ten
seconds expired, but when he came
to his senses he looked around for a
moment and then threw up his hands
and said: "Baines, old boy, you can
have her; I am too weak to fight any
longer." .
