Believing then and now that we had the unquestionable right to entor into friendly relations with — bs er or Y aropealites organisation the world, ® pro was made in April, 1898, to euter into such relations with the Grand college of rites, which we then and now understund to be purely Scottish Rite body attached to the Grand orient of France.

Therefore, insisting that we never in- tentionally did or committed any act or thing showing any want of loyalty to Ancient Craft Masonry, and that there may be no further” excuse to claim that we have, we do hereby withdraw said proposal, and annul, vacate and set aside each and every act and thing done by any in authority in our rite, wherein or whereby it might be claimed, even by our enemies, that fraternal relations had been effected between the said Grand orient of France or any of its bodies and our apt gee es contrary to the order or decree of any Grand lodge of the United States.” “ATLANTA IS OURS.” Gen. Howard’s Eloquent Response to that Toast. Crvctnnatt, Sept. 27.—It was 2 o'clock thi morning when the members of the Army of the Tennessee reluctantly left the dining hall of the Burnet house at the close of the most enjoyable meeting ever beld by the society. Gen. 0. 0. Howard, who was the last regular speaker, had roused them to a high pitch of enthusiasm by his peroration. He spoke to the toast “Atlanta is ours and fairly wou.” AND IN CLOSING SAID: The cry “Atlanta is ours” made us see with brighter visious our sweet homes and we looked with lively hopes for a speedy return, And all the force of the inspiring sentiment rings in tho ears of the surviving veterans today. So the say to our governors, our guardians Atlanta, do not let it be lost again to us, lost to the lost to liberty. To burn there a pure, noble, one-armed comrade in eftigy is nota food deed, not a good sign. It does not lessen the lawless offense that he is an officer f the United States simply doi! duty.

But the Despatch Has Not Arrived Here—A Change of Program. The U.8.8. Despatch, which was expected to arrive at the navy yard last night in order to convey Minister Douglass to Norfolk on his way to Hayti, has not yet made her appearance, Nothing has been heard from her at the Navy department, and it is intimated there that the severe winds now prevailing on the coast make it impracticable to bring her around here, THE MINISTER'S BAGGAGE BRADY. Minister Douglass’ gon was at the Navy and State departments this morning endeay- oring to learn something ‘about the time the Despatch might be expected, but could obtain no satisfaction, for nothing is known about her. He says his father’s baggage is piled on the porch of bis house in Anacostia, nd thus he awaits the summons from the navy yard. TRE KEARSAGE TO TAKE MR. DOUGLASS. The Secretary of the navy decided this after- noon to revoke the orders commanding the U.S8.3. Ossipee to convey Minister Douglass from Norfolk, to Hayti, it having been rep- resented to him that the Ossipee’s boilers sre not in condition to make the sea H then ordered the commandant of the U.8.3. Kearsarge, now at New York, to prepare his ship to perform this service. She is about ready, and will probably sail from New York, where Mr. Douglass will go by rail on Monday, STREET SWEEPING ACCOUNTS. Statements of Contractor Draney in Re- ply to Mr. John H. Crane. Mr. F. M. Draney, contractor for sweeping streets has sent along letter to the District Commissioners respecting statements made by Mr. J. H, Orane in @ letter to Controller Matthews concerning the accounts ren- dered for sweeping streets in this city. Mr. Draney says in effect that his atten- tion having been called to communications from Mr. Crane, in relation to the account ren- dered for sweeping streets, he desires to make the following statements: AS TO THE MEASUREMENTS. In the first place that so far as the rheasure- ments of the streets are concerned he has had no connection with it in any shape or manner, The health office furnishes him a schedule of the streets to be swept in which is stated the number of square ls in each street. If there are any inaccuracies in these figures he is in no wise responsible and sec- ondly KO SEPARATE CHARGE FOR SPRINKLING, There is no separate charge or payment for sprinkling the streets, Sprinkling, sweeping and cleaning are the ele- ments that enter into cleaning the streets Sprinkling is an incident of the cleaning, some- times necessary and again not needed, aud the Price per square yard is in nowise’ affected whether it is done or not. Mr. Draney goes on to state that be has no voice in determining what streets shall be swept. ‘The health ofticer furnishes him «schedule each day of the streets to be swept that night, and whether a street is swept too often. or not often enough, is @ watter over which he has no control, The number of times streets are to be swe; ut is left to the ju , and their judgment naturally depends largely on the size of the appropriation. THE RAINY DAYS IN war. Mr. Draney then refers to Mr. Crane's criti- ciwm that there were sixteen days in May which were rainy, and that there- fore he could not have sprinkled the streets twenty days, Mr. Draney remarks that probably the streets were uot spriukled twenty deys, but that they were cleaned twenty days, and refers to his former statement that sprivkli is only a part of cleaning, and neither adds to or lessens the cost, IN REFERENCE TO 187, 2p aND 8D STREETS, Mr. Draney says Mr, Crane is mistaken in sup- posing they were swept only once per week. These three streets, he says, were swept six times in May and eight times in June of this year; but were these streets only swept once per week it would be no fault of his. « THE AREA BWEPT. Mr. Daaney states that he wishes the matter of the inaccuracies in the measurements of the streets to be looked into. He receives the schedule of the number of square yards from the health office and has always considered it correct. He says: “And I now express my desire, since attention has been called to this matter, that the exuct area of the streets may be ascertained, to the end that any payments’ have been made to mé in excess of the number of square yards con- tained in the streets, 1 may refund it, and if Ihave been sweeping streets where I have been receiving far less than the actual num- ber of square yards in the streets I may be compensated therefor.” THE DOUBLE CHARGE ON C STREET. Mr. Draney says that on examination he finds Mr. Crane's statement that payment has made for sweeping C street twice in one night is correct and he wishes the mistake rectified. He says that this duplication seems to have escaped the attention of his superintendent and book keeper and that certainly it never came to his knowledge until his attention was called to,it by Mr. Crane's letter. AFFIDAVITS OF DRIVERS. Mr. Draney presents affidavits from his drivers to show that on June 2 (at which date Mr. Crane letter stated over one-half of the avenue to be under water from Ist to 19th streets) he swept both sides of the avenue down to street. From 10th to 9th it was spept for a ion of the width and from to 6 it was swept. From 6th street on it was not swept. On the portion of the avenue cov- ered by the water the accumulation of filth ‘was so great as to render a double sweep neces- sary. —_—_—_—— The Horse Hospital on Third Street.

They are dated from the headquarters of the committee and read as follo: “This is to cer- tify that has been duly chosen and ap- pointed to serve as in the parade in the city of Washington on the occasion of the escort to the Grand encampment, K.1., of the United States on the eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine,and of the order seven hundred and seventy-one.

Maybury of Detroit commandery, better known, perhaps, outwide the order aa Congress- man Meybury, proposing the erection in this city by the Knights Templar of the country of a splendid templo, capacious enough to serve not only as the headquarters of the order in this country, but also foryany great gathering that might assemble in the dational capital. In view of the fact that it has been seriously proposed by many knights to fix the Grand encampment in permanent headquarters in some city, and Washington is considered for many reasons as the most suitable city, this proposition of Sir KuightMaybury is regardedas important. Today Chairman Parker received another letter from Sir Knight Maybury, in which be sai “My suggestion regarding the building of a temple for the order must be scattered fer and wide. Iheard of itin New York and Boston the meeting of the supreme council, and the painters, roofers, beaters, aud all other material mon are flooding me with letters and pamphlets concerning their several products. I presume, like Koko, they assume that what we say is to be done is don Consequently in their logic the temple is near- ing completion. I wish it were #o. I must say that universal favor marks the suggestion and is most gratifying. 1 shall be prepared to pledge Detroit commandery for her share if the idea goe: TO ROPR THE AVENUE. ‘Tho committee have obtained authority from the Commissioners to have Pennsylvania avenue kept clear on the day of the parade by the same method as was employed at the inauguration, when wire hae ag were stretched at a suitable height along the curb, thus preventing the crowd from encroaching upon the asphalt. _Chair- man Parker upon inquiry found that the wire ro then used is now unser- ‘iceable. Ho applied to the Western Union peepee company aud has secured the ure of all the wire required. The work of patting up the wire barricr will be done by the istrict, all expenses incurred to be paid by the triennial committee. THE BARBECUE. The barbecue at the Schuetsen park during the conclave will, it is expected, be a notable entertainment. Chairman Parker, speaking of this feature of the program to a Bran reporter today, said that Sir Knight John Hockemeyer was appointed chairman of a eotmittee of three gentlemen belonging to the Schuetaen Verein to take charge of the barbecue, Messrs. J. J. Appich and Chr. Ruppert being his associates, Sir Knight Hockemeyer he, said, had looked care- fully after all the detuils, and would, with Sir Knight Pratt of the triennial committee, have immediate charge of the barbecue, DE MOLAY’S BIG BANNER, De Molay commandery, No, 4, has obtained permission from the Commissioners to swing a banner across Pennsylvania avenue from its headquarters ut the corner of 12th street, The banner will be of mammoth size and be a re- production on a large écale of the badge of the commandery, with a life-size picture in the center representing a mounted knight. PERMIT FOR ERECTION OF STANDS, Tue Stan has hereteforo referred to the let- erofMr. M. M. Parker, chairman of the Knights Templar conclave, to the Commission- ers, relative to the construction of reviewing stands on the spaces under the control of the Commissioners. Today Mr. Parker, in com- any with Mr. Harrison Dingman, calledupon e Commissioners and requested that they issue an order regulating the construction of stands, ‘The order was issued and is as fol- lows: KNIGHTS TRMPLAR PARADE AND Rsconr, “That along the route of the procession on the 8th of October next reviewing stands may be erected under the following restrictions: 2, sald stands in front of private property shall not project more than 8 feet from the building line, nor shall the first floor thereof be less than 9 feet above the sidewalk, and they shal’ be supported from the ground in such manner as to offer the least practicable obstruction to the use of the sidewalks by the public; 3, such stands on United States or District reservations shall be confined to the building line unless for the purpose of support it may be deemed b; the inspector of buildings advisable to extend them over the sidewalk, but such encroachments shall not in any case exceed 2 feet, 4, all stands on United States reservations along of commissioner of public grounds; 5, person shallcommence the erection of td spproved by the nnpocter of Baliga ant FO) y the ins idinj pooh sty it popes tg when oatisfied ste i made I commandery three to six knights will be ee oe ee ‘Em.

Hammond while she was in his employ as matron at his sanitarium, was continued in the Police Court, Dr. Tompkins testified that Mrs, Rowland left the sanitarium July 31 for Philadelphia to procure two servants. When paying Mra, Rowland in cash he always took receipts, aud this was about fourtimes, On cros#-examina- tion Dr. Tompkins said that including ail there were thirty-five or thurty-six persous at the sanitarium in July, but when Dr. H.'s family was included there were over forty eating there. Detective Mahon testified that he first saw Mrs. Rowland at Minneapolis; that he had a Police Court warrant aud when he served it she was anxious toreturn with him and meet the charges, She was somewhat nervous and excited, but said that she was innocent. On cross-examination witness stated thet Mrs. Rowland made no efforts to resist coming here, but there was some question raised by the officials at Minneapolis as to his pi ‘The case was adjourned till this afternoon. . THE URARING RESUMED. This afternoon the hearing was resumed and Detective Mahon was recalled. He produced » note from Mrs, Rowland to Mirs Littlesbot of og eo street, Philadelphia, asking her “to send Lizzie’s thing,” the envelope bearing post of- fice stamp of August 2. Mrs. Shepherd testified that she resided at the sanitarium and did not know of others than those named furnishing supplies. Mra, Rowland left to return the next day at noon, saying tbat she was going to see a lady phy- sician and to get two servants, By the court—Never saw the wagons of any dealers there oxcept that of Cook Brothers. ‘There were frequent complainst by patients of the food as to quality and quantity. Redirect—Witness identified letter dated St, Paul, August 27, as in Mra. Rowland’s hand. On cross-examination witness testified that she frequently ordered at Mre. R.'s instance provisions from Cook Bros, and a clothes wringer and a fly fan from Beveridge’s. Mrs, Rowland went to market in a wagon sometimes daily and at others twice a week. Witness expressed a willingness to do Mra, Rowland’s marketing, but she (Mrs, BR.) thought she had better doit herself, Witness did not hear Dr, oo age tell the defendant that she could go off for a day or two and he would take the responsibility. Dr. Tompkins was again called and he was asked whether he had heard a conversation be- tween Dr. Hammond and the defendant, The witness answered that he did.

It is expected that Mr. Butterworth will give an interesting account of the Paris exposition during his reception on Monday evening, and in thatconnection boom the 1892 exposition for Washington. Two or three glee clubs have volunteered their services, but it is thought that Mr. Butterworth's speech will occupy fully an hour, aud much time cannot be given to the musical feature of the program, especially as there will be other speakers present.

Symons for a full statement of the case to embody in his answer to the injunction. ‘WHAT CAPT. SYMONS sara, Captain Symons, speaking upon the wubject toa Stan reporter today; said: “I think its « shame that an injunction should be taken out with reference to the railroad occupying 6th street temporarily. Such an arrange- ment is eur the interest of the people, as away the tmmense travel on 7th street and permits the company to expedite the work. There are four alterna- tives. The railroad company will either have te lay extra tracks on 7th street, use ohe track, close the street entirely, or be allowed to go ahead as suggested by me. As Ihave already said, this arrange- ment was not made for the benedt of the rail- the, mea in traveling public, as well as the business on 7th street.” WHAT SEVENTU-STREET MERCHANTS SAT. Merchants on 7th street are much exercised over the efforts of residents on 6th street to Prevent temporary tracks being laid on the latter street. They say that if 7th street is torn up and blocked by the additional tracl their business will be greatly inj during the busiest season of the year. Persons who desire to reach certain stores will be pre- vented by the impassable condition of the wae. Waiks and gutters and will go clsewhere. In this way their business will be affected. They think that the power of the Commissiouers in «uch a matter ought to be recognized and that it will be better for a few people to be inconvenienced for a little while than to injure permanently the businoss ip- terests of the 7th street merchants, Transfers of Keal Estate.
