Congressman Watson 'scharges of drunkenness against hit colleagues in the bouse has raised a great row, and the attempt to ignore and hush up the matter, that at first gave promise of success, has failed. Judge Cobb of Alabama, who made the erratic speech in the Noycs Rockwell contested election case last spring was the only man brought into the investigat ion by name Saturday and this was owing to the efforts of his Minds to exonerate him from the charges of being stimulated to the point of ineoherency wbe' delivering Diis speech. The three or four members of the house who were aimed at by Mr. Wat son arc using every endeavor to have the inquiry brought to a close at the earliest possible moment. As far as can be ascer tained, only one man, Mr. Cain, of Texas, has threatened to thrash Mr. Watson, thcothcfS evidently thinking that the safest way to keep themselves in the dark is to maintain profound silence. iuus Inr ail ot Air. Watson s witnesses have been farmer's allianccincn or third parly men, while some of the ablest democrats in the house went on the stand Saturday and swore that during their ten or twelve years of service in congress they never knew a more sober set of men than those who constitute the present house ol representatives. In the house today Mr. Itolman moved to suspend the rules and pass u joint resolution extending until Aug. 4, the appropriation made bv the sundry civil act of last year. The reaulution'cnrricd, but its passage was prcceeded by rather a spicy discussion. I lie house has passed the bill changing the date of the dedication of the buildings of the World's Columbian exposition from the 12th to 21st of October. In the senate today the house joint resolution extending the appropriations included in the sundry civil bill till next Thursday was received from tin" house, laid belore the senate and passed. can rest assured it is abso' lutely pure leaf lard.

Dr. Tal mage, who is now in this city, ?uid to day, on the subject ol his recent meeting with the Czar: "I found the Czar and his family especially geniul, ait less and sympathetic. I judge from his questions that the Czar is more interested in reli gion than in politics. I believe that he it doing the best possible for his people, although imturally we cannot expect him to keep all the people of his immense realm in hand and mould them at his will. "The Czarina reminded me of the Prin cess of Wales, as 1 told her. She has no air of arrogance, but it is simplicity icr sonified. She introduced us to the chil dren, who arc so full of life and fun, of unaffected boyhood aad girlhood, that 1 almost romped with them. After din ner the Czar's carriage took us to the station." Dr. Talmage said that great misappre hensions were abroad as regards the Czar's government of the empire, and that he should devote much of his time upon his return to America in correcting false impressions of Russian affairs. He found the Russian officials almost as agreeable as their master. N. V. Sun. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEIIT. TllEMAFIA'S BOLD THREAT DID HE TKY TO COMMIT SUICIDE? WII.I. KILL JUDGE HARR UN LESS RANSOMED.

Robert Strange, rector of St. James church, Wil mington, occupied the pulpit of Trinity church, and, in the absence of the tempo rary rector, the Rev. George V, Hell, con ducted all the service. The reverend gen tleman chose as his text the 18th verse ot the 8th chapter of Romans: "For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall lie revealed to us. lie spoke extemporaneously, ai.d without reference to notes, with a grace and elegance ol elocution, with s warmth of cloiii.iuc, with a splcn dor of illustration and with e force of reason that held every car a willing captive, and delighted the thought of every intelligent hearer. The broadness ot bis views, the easy com mand of his deep learning, the grandeur of his intellectuality impressed themselves as lessons from the pulpit unhappily not often so, and all went from the church with the deep conviction that they had heard a grand preacher. Mr. Strange is the son of the late Col onel Robert Strange, the good man and eminent Wilmington lawyer; and urandson of the distinguished senator judge and scholar, the lion. Roliert Strange, of Fnycttcvillc. Truly has the stream of hereditary, intellectual and personal gifts flowed down in gathering sticngth, even to the third generation. FINED TEN DOLLARS. HE If TOUGH.

My diplomatic work at home and behind the scenes was incomparably more ait- ficult than that with foreign powers, The German empire would have been im possible without the vanquishing ol France. Diplomacy required the ability to select the least harmlul method. 'Our duty to the In turc is to strengthen Parliament and the free press. In my absorbing desire to strengthen the em pire, uossiulv 1 sank parliamentary au thority to too low a level. This itlis nec essary to redress.
