WHAT I8 SAID ABOUT WASHINOTON'S REPRESENT: ‘TION IN THE NATIONAL, COMMATTER. ‘The Distri-t democrats deny the pubitshed state- ment that there 1s lack of harmony In their midst. ‘They claim that the object of the resolutions adopted ot the last meeting ci une Jackson Asso- elation was to secure a committee, representing all the democratic organizations in the District, to have charge of the political work during the com- ing campaign. They state that these resolutions had nothing to do with the election of delegates to the national convention. As soon as the national committer meets and decides when and where the ‘next convention shall be held, Mr. Thomas J. Lut- trell, the chairman of the committee of twenty- two ted at the District democratic conven- Uon held four years ago, will issue a call for the twenty-two legislative districts to elect delegates tw aconvention, This convention will elect dele- gates Lo the national convention.

Norris, president of the Jackson Democratic Association, in # conversation with a ‘Star reporter this afternoon about the represen- tation of the Districtin the National Dem ue Convention, said: “The central democratic com- mittee 1s legally constituted aud so recognized by the National Democratic Convention, and there 1s no intention on the part of the Jackson Demo- cratic Association, or any other democratic organi- zation, to interfere with its prerogatives. The Emmuner resolutions introduced at Lie last’ meet- ing of the Jackson Democratic Assoctxtion, which were referred to the executive committee, did not refer to the primary elections, as has been repre= sented, but to the alleged violations the civil. service rules in the office of the recorder of deeds and the United States: Marshat’: REPORT OF THE SUCCESSFUL TESTS AT SANDY HOOK. AQ oMicial report has recently been made to the War Department concerning the use of dynamite shells in experiments made Jast December. ‘The board was composed of Lieut:-Col.

The board express a favorable opinion of the invention, and state that {t has been shown that dynamite shells can obtain penetration before explosion, aud tuat they can be fired from a heavy rifled cannon with the full serv- ice charge of black powder as the propelling force ‘without injury to tae cannon. ‘The Smead Contracts. ‘THE COMMISSIONERS’ REVLY TO THE SENATE INQUIRY REGARDING THEM. ‘The reply of the Commissioners to the Senate resolution asking information tn regard to the contract of Isaac Smead & Co, was received by the Senate to-day.

Representative Hayes, of Iowa, has replied to the letter of Mrs. LaFetra, president of the Woman's Christian Tezperance Union. He denies that his refusal to present _a proh:bition petition abridged a Constitutional right of thé petitioners, and deciares that the right of petition guaranteed by the Constitution is for a “redress of grievances; Uat this “necessarily implies grievances to those peutioning, and in tls counectivua has no other or broader meaning than making snppiication for some right, and by no Just process of reasoning nm it be made to cover meddling or busy-body isin.” In regard to the outside petitions for prohibition in the District, Mr. Hayes says: “I repeat, (at for tue people of Iowa to Congress a3 to local concerns in the Distriet of Co- Nunbla ts officious meddling of Lue most affensive character, whether It applies to the conduct of particular classes of business or other local mat- ters, and that no person combining intelligence with discrimination, delicacy, and a falr amount of that finer feeling tbat prompts true men and ‘women to attend to thetr own affairs, will ever 1u- duige in it—at least after consi 3 and, in any event, such peopie as would, cannot inake'me @ tool to ‘convey such me Petitions from the people of this District upon unss subject would be eminently proper.” Mr. Hayes dentes that three-fourths of the erime comuitied 1s caused by Mquor, and he asserts that criminals undertake to shield their mberent “cuss- edness” by laying Lheir degradation to drink; that he was twelve years upon the bench in Jowa, In & district which contained more of we ‘cities, than apy other in Jowa and in which prohibition never gained a substantial foothold; that it af forded him a good field of observation of criminal Workings, and, he adds: “a close observation of this question has led me to know not only that no large per cent (Hot one per cent outside of crimes fornded Upon assaults), OF erimes eoming before the courts had liquor for a caus. or foundation, ether direct or remove, Dut that freedom trom ail crue, other than the’ purely statutory one of liquor selling, Was and Is in marked conirast with the so-cailed Prohibition parts of the state.” In conclusion ke Says the people of his district are contented and Prosperous and are only Irritated by the “fanatl- sin of prouibition.” = SES ‘The Presidents ‘The Prestdent to-duy sent to Commisstoner Webb A note inclosiug @ cheek for $25, a8 his contribu Mon tothe fund for the relief of the poor of the Instrict according tothe plan adopted at the meet- ing at Willard Hall Saturday night.
