WASHINGTON LETTER
(From onr Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 4, 1888,
Senator Ingalls' great speech in theSen
ate Tuesday, has, as a subject of conver­
sation, overshadowed everything else this
week. On the day it was delivered the
Senate end of the Capitol building was
literally packed with a mass of people
anxious to hear what the Kansas Senator
had to say in reply to the personal attack
made OR him last week by Senator Vor­
hees. Mr, Ingalls began his remarks by
alluding to the manner in which he had
been willfully misrepresented by the Dem­
ocratic press in regard to his attacks on
Hancock and McClellan in his speech de­
livered some weeks ago. His allusion to
them was as politicians, not as soldiers
they were allies after the war, of the
Democratic party, which he maintained
was the Southern Confederacy in contin­
uance. He then took up the war record
of Senator Vorhees, and showed up the
manner in which he had endeavored to
hamper the government at every step he
quoted from a speech delivered, by Mr.
Vorhees, in Indiana, Aug. 5, 1862, the
following language: "Soldiers engaged
iii this war should go to the nearest black­
smith's shop and have iron collars made
and placed around their necks, and have
inscribed thereon in large letters: 'My
dog, A. Lincoln." He quoted numerous
other speeches with disloyal sentiments,
of which the following made during the
memorable presidential campaign of 1864
is a specimen "Gentlemen, it seems to
me that I can hear the spirits of the hund­
reds of thousands of lives that have been
uselessly sacrificed in this war, pleading
against the re-election of this man (Lin­
coln.) It seems to me the very inanimate
objects, the dumb beasts, would cry out,
'enough, he has had his day, Bloody,
gory, reeking let him go out into his
hateful obscurity, there to stand the res­
idue of his days with the accusations of
the murdered dead jibbering around the
unhappy felon.'"
The Senator then paid his attention to
the methods of carrying elections in the
South. Mr. Vorhees rose to reply, trem­
bling with anger He referred to the
statements, of Mr. Ingalls as slanderous
political lies, etc. Then followed one of
the most disgraceful scenes ever enacted
in the Senate chamber. Mr. Ingalls kept
his self control remarkably well. The
only time he gave way to his temper was
Just afier an impassionate outburst from
Vorhees, when the Kansas senator said
with flashing eyes: 'If this were a police
court, that citizen there of Indiana, would
be arrested and put in dock for being
drunk and disorderly." This seemed to
have a quieting effect on Mr. Vorhees,
and Mr. Ingalls continued his speech,
with frequent interruption and denials,
Finally, after a question from Mr. Ingalls:
Did not the soldiers of Indiana threaten
to hang the Senator after he made that
Lincoln speech?'—Mr.Vorhees exclaimed:
'The Senator is a great liar, when he in­
timates such a thing—a great liar and a
dirty dog. It never occurred in the world
That is all the. answer I have." Fortu
nately for the dignity of the Senate the
controversy ended here.
On Monday, Mr. Cleveland nominated
Melville Weston Fuller, a well known
lawyer of Chicago, for Chief Justice. The
appointment is considered a good one, it
having been recommended by both the
Illinois Senators. There is no doubt
whatever of the prompt confirmation of
Mr. Fuller. He was born in Augusta,
Me., Feb. 11, 1838 was educated at Bow
doin College, studied law, and began to
practice in his native city in 1856. He
was for a time editor of a Democratic pa
per in Augusta. Several years, prior to
the late war he removed to Chicago, where
he has since resided, devoting his entire
attention to his law practice. This ap

Ail so-called purified spruce gums are mix­

The tariff debate is still dragging slow­
ly along in the House. Only one Demo­
crat—Mr. Foran—has so far spoken
against theMills tariff bill. It is said that
the leaders of the Democrats in the House
have become convinced that it will be im­
possible to pass the bill in its present
shape, and they propose holding a canvas
next week, to decide what amendments
had best be adopted to help the bill.
Representative Burrows, of Michigan,
has introduced a bill which provides a
pension for every soldier and sailor who
served 90 days oi more in the late war,
the rate of pension to be one cent per
month for each day of actual service.
The Chinese treaty has been favorably
reported on by the Senate committee on
foreign affairs the committee made two
minor amendments to the treaty. It will
probably be ratified in a short time.
Mr. Edmunds has introduced a bill in
the Senate to (increase the pensions of
soldiers and sailors who contracted heart
disease in the service.

OXFORD LEAGUE.
The members of the Oxford League
resented along and interesting program
ast Wednesday evening, on the works of
Charles Dickens. A rainy disagreeable
evening was not calculated to call many
out from home, but a fair audience was
attendance. In taking up the works
of the writer so prolific in characters as
Dickins, there is difficulty in cutting the
exercises short enough for one evening.
For lack of time several of the parts pre­
pared were omitted. Alter the exercises
the ladies of the society invited the audi­
ence to partake of ice cream which was
in readiness in the church parlors. The
chilly state of the weather did not pre­
vent an acceptance of the invitation, and
the ice cream was summarily disposed
ot. The following is the program as ren­
dered:

AMMONIA la BAKING POWDERS.
Scientific American: Amoncr tbe recent
discoveries in science and chemistry, none is
more important than the uses to which com­
mon ammonia can be properly put as a leav­
ening agent, and which indicate that this fa­
miliar salt is hereafte.r to perform an active
part in the preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceeding­
ly volatile substance. Place a small portion
of it upon a knife-and hold over a flame, and
It will almost immediately be entirely devel­
oped into gas and pass off into tbe air. The
gas thus formed is a simdle composition of
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is left
from the ammonia. This gives it its superi­
ority as a leavening power over soda and
cream of tartar used alone, and' has inducee
its use as a supplement to these articles. A
small quantity of ammonia in the dough iB
effective in producing bread that will be
lighter, sweeter and more wholesome than
that risen by any other leavening afreet.
When it is acted upon by the heat of baking
tbe leavening gas that raises the dough is lib­
erated. In thiB act it|| uses itself up,
as it were the ammonia is en­
tirely diffused, leaving no trace or residuum
whatever. The light, fluffy, flaky appearance
so desirable in biscuits, etc., and so sought
after by professional cooks, is said to be im­
parted to tbem only by tbe use of this agent.
The bakers and bakimr powder manufac­
turers producing the finest goods have been
quick to avail themselves of this useful dis­
covery, and the handsomest and best bread
and cake are now largely risen by tbe aid of
ammonia combined, of course, with other
leavening material.
Ammonia is one or the best
known products
of the laboratory. If, as seems to be justly
claimed for it, the application of its proper­
ties to the purposes of cooking, results in
giving us lighter and more wholesome bread
biscuit and cake, it will prove a boon to dys­
peptic humanity, and will speedily force it­
self into general UBB in the new field to which
science has assigned it.
