Loxvor, Sept. 2—The great strike is still in force and the situation of affairs this morning may be said to be unchanged. Neither side las made a move yet today and it is not given to say now what the day may bring forth. There are signs of grumbling among the strikers over the division of the relief funds. ‘The stevedores complain that they are not re- ceiving their proper share of the funds. But the men generally stand firm and there is nothing like serious disaffection in the ranks. Three thousand tailors struck this morning and are parading the streets, The dock com- panies express themselves as better satisfied with the aspect of affairs. They have an in- creased number of men at work com- d of strikers who have given up the fight and the new men. The oftisials of the companies ry labor would be obtain if the strikers’ pick. ets were ubolished. It is asserted that there is a split among the strikers, and that a small committee has been appointed looking to the abandonment of the strike. The*Roeéstervoal whippers and barge men visited a wamber of vessels inthe River Medway and forcibly compelled the men at work thereon to cease operations, THE STRIKERS ENCOURAGED. Denprz, Sept. 2.—A trades union congress in session in this city has adopted resolu- tions to the effect that the London strikers were justified in their demands and that the employers were arbitrary in their ac- | tions. The congress also called upon the yarious trades of the united kingdom to render the strikers ail possib.e tuancial sspport The mention of John Burns’ name was loudly ap- plauded, NEW WORKMEN DRIVEN AWAY. A mob composed of about eight hundred strikers invaded the Albert docks this after- noon and compelled the workmen there to cease their labors. No damage was done to property. Seeking for Cronin Case Jurors. Cuicaco, Sept. 2.—The examination of talis- men, with a view to determining their fitness or unfitness to serve as jurors in the Cronin cage, was resumed in the criminal court this morning.

BITTERS LG Siegert Statement of Watchman Frank McEantee of the Washington Asylum. Last Saturday Watchman Frank McEntee of the Washington asylum, who was on duty when Henry Priller got away, called on the Commis- sioners and submitted the following story of the case: . e* came to the alms house about noon Ani 2@ «an old man in the police ambulangt,“ and the driver did not find any one in the office but an inmate to receive him, and as my duty calls me both in and outside I was on my way to the of- fice about this time (asthe man in the build- ing with me leaves for dinner about noon) when I heard my name called and went to the office and found this old man and ambulance driver there. He said he did not have a S pepe for him, but Mr. Frank would send one down the next dsy. Asking the old man his name. I found he could a English, but was a German. Then I calleda German girl from the kitchen to ask his name, age, &e, I took it down on a slip of paper as follows: Henry J. Priller, sixty-eight (I had to guess at this'as he said it was thirty-five), widower, sixth precinct, Germany, and then went with it to Mr. Stoutemburgh, who took it it in hie hand and read it, and he asked me what was the matter with him. I told him he was old and feeble and 1 thought a little cranky and then returning to the office I sent him down to dinner,after that a bath and then gave him his bed, and then at 1 o’clock I returned to some work I was doing outside and did not get back to the oifice until 4 o'clock or thereabouts to allow the man in the house with me to go home, as it was his evening off Raney and about the first thing I heard about Henry after receiving him at noon was he had taken an mmate’s coat and gone down in the back yard with it. I then went tothe back of the house and called some of the men inthe yard to know if the old man was down there and their answer was he had just gone down the turned to come to one after him, when an inmate said as he was eoming up fromthe back of the ands he saw ‘the old man down in the is just back i ' diately sent ig FoEEizFbesttr THE PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE. The South Capitol Street Enterprise | Hearing Before United States Commis- Talked Over Again this Afternoon. The talk about the proposed bridge across sioner Stone Today. In the Criminal Court room today U.8. Com- the Eastern branch at the foot of South Capitol | missioner Warren ©. Stone held « session to street, and the road thence through the Dis-| hear the case of the United States against Sig- trict” and Prince George county, Md., has excited considerable attention, at least among a certain class of people. These are bridge builders, road contractors, and others who think they see a golden opportunity to serve themselves and incidentally the public. When Mr. A. K. Browne, president of the bridge and road association, called the association to order in one of the parlors of the American house this afternoon at 2 o'clock he had a large package of letters from contractors in his hand. He remarxed that he had been overwhelmed with such communications, and thought it was a good sign, as all these people would help them get the bridge. There was a general discussion of the bridge question, turning largely on the question whether the bridge should be on a direct line with South Capitol street which would carry it across the stream diagon- ally or should go directly across the stream leaving South Capitol street at an angle. THE TALK WITH CAPT. BYMONS. Mr. R. J. Beall, who was chairman of the committee to wait on the Commissioners and secure a survey of the proposed extension, of South Capitol street reported that Capt, Symons had stated that as soon as the work of extending the lines of Pennsylvania avenue east of the Eastern branch was com- pleted the surveyors would be put on the work on South Capitol street, DOWN ON THE MAPS, Mr. Pelham, who was a member of the com- mittee, said he had discovered on maps of the engineer office that the enterprise which the association had at heart was already under consideration by the District author- ities, and that the line of the bridge and of the extension of South Capitol street south of the river to the District line had been marked down on maps. He felt assured by what was said to him that it was the inten- tion of the District authorities to give the peoplo of that section this bridge and road, Mr. Pel- ham was in favor of going in and pulling strongly for the bridge and letting the question of the location of the road settle itself. If they got a bridge the road was eure to follow. He proposed having 4 bill introduced as soon as Congress met providing for the bridge and not to em- barrass the matter by any controversy over the location of a road. STRAIGHT OR DIAGONAL, Mr. Beall did not approve yielding alto- gether to the opinion of the engineer ofticer as to the direction of the bridge, Capt. Symons, he said, had stated that no bridge could be built across the stream unless it went straight across, which would take it out of the line of South Capitol street, Mr. Pelham thought they ought not to «antagonize the engineer offi- corsa, Mr. Beall he said could | et the river to run the — way e wanted it to, He thought it best that they should approve any plans the engineer favored 80 long as it provided them with a good bridge. Messrs. Peiham and Beall were exchanging compliments on the question of bridges and engineer officers when ‘Tue Star's report cloved. ——.__. Washington Stuck Exchange.

He held that the case was his property and when the application was made for the warrant he could not refuse to entertain it. If it should prove that the facts are identical to those heretofore passed upon the case would end. But it was due to all the parties concerned and the public that these facts be ascertained. The question as to when he should recognize counsel in the case was an important one, and he thought that there shouldbe @ representative of the government here, JUDGE HOGE’S POSITION, Judge Hoge remarked that he was present simply as a witness and he did not acknowledge that any one had the right to institute proceed- ings and then call him in. As to the case of the Parker jewels the lady had called on him, = that she had been the life-long friend of the mother of Monroe and it would be extremely disagreeable if she was required to rosecute him, He made the inquiry and Eirected Block to inform Mrs. Parker that he would not require her to appear, and he under- stood that his assistant, Mr. Armes, had come to the same conclusion in the Police Court, Mr. Cook claimed that the inquiry at the Police Court was as to the vase and tea pot— the property of Malcolm Seaton—and that tho Parker case was notin that court, This case wus before Commissioner Johnson, but the papers were defective in that the case was left there as a misdemeanor, but the present war- rant charges the offense as grand larceny. A colloquy followed as to this point, Mr, Cook repeating that he understood the dismis- sal by Commissioner Johnson was on the ground that the offense was a misdemeanor, and Mr. Davis asserting that the ground was that there had been no conviction averred in the papers, ir. Cook urged that the duty of the com- missioner was plain, He should examine for himself. Through the district attorney's office, or over it, the investigation should be made. Mr. Davis said that should the commissioner be inclined to go on he (D.) would then raise the question of jurisdiction. THE HEARING CONTINUED, The hearing was continued to Thursday. ee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE RIVER CHANNELS. Some days ago Harbor Master Sutton noti- fied the War department that there were two obstructions in the Washington and Georgetown channels, and asked that the matter be inquired into. Today the Commissioners received the report of Major H. M. Adams, the engineer in charge, who reports that he found two ob- structions, one in the Georgetown channel, which has been removed, and an old scow in the Washington channel near the arsenal wharf. He says arrangements will be made to remove it, A NEW CIRCLE. The Commissioners today approved the rec- ommendation of Capt. Symons for a circle at the intersection of Maryland avenue, 12th and F streets northeast. When the work of paving the streets at that point is completed the circle will be provided for. MARKET MASTER APPOINTED. The Commissioners have ieee Robert H. Lugby market master for the Eastern mar- ket.

Chas. Caldwell, one brick dwelling, 616 I street southeast, $1,000. — Robbed by His Room Mate, A Baltimorean named James Wilbur was in the Police Court to-day on a charge of grand larceny. W. B. Sullivan, a slater, was the com- plaining witness, Sullivan came to this city in January last. He had not been here long before he met Wilbur, who is a pensioner. ‘Together they went to Mrs. Hurley’s lodging house where they rented a room for th» night. In the morning when Suili- van was called to breakfast he arose and discovered that his room mate had departed. He soon afterward ascertained that his (Sullivan’s) watch and chain were also missing. Detective Carter investigated the case and suspected Wilbur of the theft, but the latter could not be found. The watch subse- quently turned up in the hands of a colored man named Morgan, who deecribed Wilbur as the man from whom he hed purchased it. Several times Baltimore was searched for Wilbur, but he was not found until Saturday when Detective Droste arrested him. Yesterday the prisoner was brought here by Detective Carter.

People who knew nothing about the case very persistently aided in spreading a rumor yester- day to the effect that Maurice Adler was much better—in fact, was on the high way to recovery, There was a temporary improvement yester- day, but by night it had passed awsay—wiped out by a chill which made ite appearance at 9 o'clock p.m. The pulse went down to 100, but it was so weak as be barely ized; it was the most feeble pulse in the history of the case. Temperature and respiration are about the same as they have been for a wock past. Throughout the night Adler slept fairly well and there was but one small dose of mor- phine administered. ‘The patient has no greater desire for food than heretofore, but the attendants do not have so much trouble in persuading him to take the necessary amount of nourishm. provement otherwise than of the most tem- porary pry vate not looked poe the most sanguine of yeicians, ant comes will bo regurdad’as miraculous, wor lieved at the request of Police Court Cases.

OFFICERS ELECTED. ‘The following are among the officers elected for the ensuing year: Alex. Porter Morse, member of general council for District of Co- lumbia; Henry Wise Garnett, vice president for District of Columbia. Local council for District of Columbia: C. W. Hoffman, W. B.

Porter Morse, part of the District of Co- lumbia delegation to the association, returned yesterday afternoon. This meeting of the American bar association was one of the most important in its history. The attendance of members was the lai it and the accession of new members was the most numerous since its organization, and in many ways the widely representative character of the membership was notable. The District of Co- lumbia delegates are wartn in their praise of = hospitality and consideration extended to em. Messrs. Henry Wise Garnett and George F. Appleby, also of the District delegation, stopped on the way home to visit friends in the west. 4 TALK WITH MR. MORSE, Mr. Morse, in conversation with a Stas re- porter, spoke in high praise of Chicago and Chicago people. He thinks it a wonderful city, composed of progressive people who hold to- gether. “A suggestive lesson,” he said, “may be thered from the fact that whatever tends to the advancement, the progress and the glorifi- cation of the city scems actively to interest every man, woman andchildin Chicago. When it is B question of improvement—natural, phys- , social or intellectual—every man, woman and child immediately enlists in the cause, Cne of the gratifying characteristics is that there are no soreheads, pullbacks or kickers against the march of improvement, or, if there are, they are not heard or heeded, as they too often are in some other cities. The citizens speak confidently and say that there is no loubt but that the international exposition of 1892 will be held there. Although one may not agree with them that Chicago is the best location for an international exposition andcom- Memoration such as that contemplated in 1892, bbs one cannot but admire the living, active in- rest which every Chicagoan takes in this en- terprise. The first thing on our arrival we were interviewed as to this matter. Naturally we pointed to Washington as the obviously proper site for the exposition. The impression jeft on the minds of the delegates after talking with some of the people on this subject was that Chicagoans would be delighted to advo- ‘ashington if there was no chance for PISTOLS, Officer Cutler’s Alleged Reckless Use of His Revolver Being Investigated. In the ninth police precinct, in East Washing- | ton, there ia a policeman named Cutler, whose record of arrests probably outuumber that of | any other officer in that section, On more than | one occasion he has been called upon to explain his actions in making arrests, either before the | Police Court or the police trial board. The offi- | cers’ too free use of his club has been the canse | of most of his trouble. Now his use of his re- | volver is being investigated by tha police de- partment, He discharged his weapon near ist and H streets northeast about 9 o'clock | Saturday night, and the tact that somebody was | not killed is more the result of good luck than good management, for at that Lour there are usually many persons on tie streets in that vicinity, especially Saturday nights, when per- | sons are going to and returning from market. SAYS HE FIRED AT A BURGLAR. Exactly under what circumstances the shot was fired is not known except from the state- ment of Officer Cutler. He claims that he fired ata burglar. He says that he had been sent for by a person employed by the railroad com- pany, who complained that one of the care had been robbed. He sent his partner—Officer Hodges—on one side of the car, while he Suster) went on the other side, While walking near the train he says he saw a burglar jump from one of the cars, He called tothe burglar “halt,” but the latter paid no attention to him and so he fired. Policeman Hodges was badly frightened, but fortunately the bullet did not strike him. OTHER CASES OF RECKLESS SHOOTING RECALLED. During the past two or three years there has been a number of cases of reckless shooting by policemen. In some instances the shots were fired ator to frighten persons charged only with violating a District ordinance. Fortunately for the officers who do the shootmg. none of the escaping prisoners have been killed. It is also fortunate that no citizen has been killed by this reckless handling of pistols, It has not been many months since a special officer killed ® young man on Ohio avenue. His plea was that he attempted to discharge the weapon in the air, but that he slipped and accidentally shot the young man. ere ‘was another case in which an officer shot a man ! from” duty | and Washington Matthews, end Assistant Su D.

Prisoners and Policemen Both Com- plain of Delay. This morning in the Police Court Hiram Spear and Andrew Miller were called up to auswer a charge of disorderly conduct. They were arrested this morning between 9 and 10 o'clock by Policemen Daley and Ferguson, who were present as witnesses. Spear, it appears, rented some rooms in a house near 7th and N streets, which he was to take possession of today. It is alleged that he went to the house this morning about 2 o'clock and took possession of more roome than be had bargained for, and that's what caused the trouble, When the men were arrested they were taken at onoe to the Police Court, where the officers thought they could gets “speedy” trial, Much to their surprise ther action met with objection and the case was not heard. Clerk Clagett called Judge Mills’ attention to the fact that the men had just been arrested. FIRST COME, FIRST SERTED, Judge Mills said he would hear the case if @ continuance would incommode the attorney, Mr. Mhomas, who appeared for one of the de- fendants, Mr. Thomas said he would let the matter rest entirely in the hands of the court, Judge Mills said that it was time the practice should be broken up of rashing prisoners into | court contrary to the rights of those already locked up. Those already in the dock, or some of them, the judge suid, had been arrested Sat urday night and in the station since that time. Then the e crowded into the maria and brought to court, where they have bec contined all the morning. The judge thought it would be an injustice to try the cases just brought in in preference to those mentioned and continued the case until Wednesday. THE OFFICERS COMPLAIN of the action of the court in continuing the case, because they say they will have to apend ® part of another day in court, and it only bap- pened in this case that the defendants were able to leave collateral to prevent being locked up. The officers think that when a man is arrested in the morning he should be given @ trial the same day, if possible to do so, Hoare Disorderly Conduct on a Train.
