ws Hicx Arr Srxzs Among the world’s most famous Fabrics the name of “Clay's Worsted” stands deservedly high. It is soft and silken to the touch; of that elastic clinging character that readily con- forms to the wearer's ficure. It will not gloss or “shine,” no matter how long it’s in wear. We arc showing Coats and Vests of Clay Worsted for morning wear, as well as Prince Albert Frocks, than which there are no finer oF better fitting garments made. They come with broad and narrow binding, soft rolling lappels, leaving absolutely nothing to be desired in cut, make or finish. Morning Coats and Vesta, $20 to 825. Prince Albert Costs and Vesta, 826 to 830. To go with these matchless carments we have had & lot of French Trouserings imported in the piece, designed and made up under our di rections into Trousers that are models of proper tone and correct style. The ft is faultless. Our Drices range from $8 to $10. ‘Make your selection from the foregoing and— no matter how others may dress—you'll be dressed correctly and elegantly.

From the Boston Journal. Tom Thumb's widow, who will not consent to exhibit herself at museums now, passed through the city a few days ago. Seated in an easy chair, to reach the seat of which the need of a cricket was absolutely necessary, the diminutive lady extended the hand of welcome, and, with a smile, shook her head as her visitor gave greeting to ‘Mrs. Charles Stratton.” “No longer Mrs. Stratton,” she said, “I am now the Countess Magri und this is my husband, the cotut.” The gentle- man thus introduced was a handsome little fel- low, whose years and whose inches are almost the same, for the crown of his head reaches only to the level of an upright yard stick and his age is but thirty-nine. Mrs, Stratton-Magri, if the double appellation may be used, is forty. seven years old now, and she stands a head— that is to say, a lilliputian head—shorter than her husban “We were married only four years ago,” she said, ‘and I notice that many still find it hard to separate my name the general's, He, poor man, passed | away six years ago.’ Short ribs—November, 77g; May, 4.9735. fitty lodged against members ber of deputies recently that most of the protests will be overruled. “Guillame le Buffle,” as the Parisians Mien of the WES Ee ets WANAMAKER AND HAMPTO! From What the Former Says it Looks as it the Senator Was ‘Too Previous.” Postmaster General Wanamaker does not seem to be very much disturbed over the letter which was sent him by Senator Wade Hamp- ton, and which was published in Taz Stan of yesterday. He was seen by a Star reporter Yesterday afternoon, and, in response to the request for an explanation or a statement, ho said: “I do not intend to raise the question of veracity between the honorable Senator and myself and then discuss it in the public press. No commission has been issued for the post office referred to (Columbia), and the Senator has been notified that I will be glad to hear anything he wishes to present regarding the ap- pointment of that postmaster, although it is stated that Columbia is not now the Senator's home. I do not intend to lose my temper over the case, but shall try to do the business of the post office for democrats as well as republicans at the old stand.” The Postmaster General said that as the Sen- ator desired to be heard in connection with these cases and as no commissions had yet been issued he had telegraphed him that they will be held to allow him the opportunity of saying anything on the subject that he desires. ‘The bond, it is said, had been approved and the usual steps to making u change in the office taken, The Postmaster General thought that in the pressure of business the mutter might have been overlooked in the office. “LIKE WAX FIGURES.” What the Pan-Americans Say About Their Treatment in Philadelphia. There have been a great many stories printed about the reception given to the inter- national American congress by the Union League club of Philadeldhia on Monday even- ing last, and in several essential particulars there are discrepancies in the narratives. Philadelphia papers have loyally insisted that the occasion was a most brilliant one and that the guests were highly delighted with the affair. Newspapers published in other cities have been equally positive in proclaiming the reception a failure and a disgrace to the Quaker City. The delegatcs and attaches and the news- paper men who accompanied the excursion have returned to this city, aud representatives of each of these three classes were seen this morning by a Stan reporter. Very naturally they were averse to saying anything on the subject, because it is a delicate oue, but ulti- maiely they,were all persuaded to tell of the cir- cumstances which have raised so much bother, Diplomaticaily and properly they would not consent to allow their names to be used, but should tho necessity arise for affidavits it will not be difficult to procure any reasonable num- ber ot Pes positive statements. It is true beyond question that the delagates and the ladies still feel very indignant over the manner in which they were treated, WHAT A PROMINENT DELEGATE SAYS, One of tne most prominent men in the con- gress said this morning that the reports of the mismanagement of the reception as printed in papers outside of Philadelphia on Tuesday were practically true and were not in any in- stance over-stated. “I went there,” said he, “aa escort to a couple of ladies and, of course, we went in full evening costume. After we had disposed of our wraps and overcoats we were conducted upstairs and placed in rows in an inclosure—roped off so that any attempt to escape would be futile. There we stood while a crowd of two or three thousand saunt- ered ee What was the crowd composed of? Weil, I suppose some of them were nice people —all of them, maybe—but THE WOMEN WERE IN STREET COSTUMES and they invariably wore their hats and bon- nets. The club men, of course, wore dress suits, but the great majority of men in that Pecan a Tags curious crowd were clad in usiness suits. Naturally that was astonishing, but it was as nothing when compared with the foolish, farcical exclusivencés or ignor- ance, or whatever it was, that made introductions impossible. We stood in ao row like wax figures and this crowd of inop- portunely attired Philadelphians walked past us and made remarks as to our personal ap- earance and the evident similarity which ex- isted between the features of North and South Americans. It would not have surprised me if some one had poked a finger in my ribs and said: ‘Well, he's in pretty good condition.’ I don’t know that one of the ladies in the iy was introduced to one of the fair ones of Phila- delphia, and the whole thing completely upset my ideas of what constituted a reception; it was run ON THE PLAN OF A DIME MUSEUM, only the audience didn’t hive to disburse a cent.” The delogates will not pretend to say who was responsible for the arrangements they complain of. The delegates say that Mr. Cur- tis has behaved throughout In a most circum- spect manner. ay THE SPEAKERSHIP. Much Uncertainty About the Contest— Members Arriving Slowly. The candidates for the speakership see a deal of time being wasted that they might be putting to use in their campaign. They are ready to begin their personal pleading with their fellow members, but the members do not appear to be in a hurry to be pleaded with, From the slow rato of arrival the impression is getting abroad that most of them want to eat their Thanksgiving dinners with their families, But the absence of great numbers docs not keep those who are here from interesting them- selves in the speakership fight, and there is considerable being done in one way and another. Most of the important work is being done very quietly, and there may be some sur- prises for all hands before the thing is finally settled. There is uo little scheming and wire- pulling going on. It is quite certain, as far as anything can be said at this distance, that no one will have anything like enough votes to nominate him on the first or second ballot. It is known, moreover, that there are a great many members who are lax enough in the snp- port of candidates they are now accredited to, to make it very likely that they will at the most favorable time go over to the man who scems to have the best chance to make a good speaker. Agreat effortis being made just now to fix the vy York members on the side of one of the candidates. The impression seems to be that at this time Reed has the best chance of getting them, but it is quite likely that they will not be in a hurry to pledge themselves un- less they feel pretty sure that their votes will be enough to elect their man. They will proba- bly feel that there is plenty of time to commit themselves when y are in a position to decide the contest. Some entirely new man may come and take the plum, There is a natural desire to be on the winning side. and this will operate to keep members from pledg- ing themselves until the last moment, It is quite evident that the southern republicans will not give their support to any one until they can do so in a way to make it the controlling force. Every evidence is that they will all go together to some one they can elect, AprrorstueNt.—Attorney General Miller to- day appointed Henry Hooper assistant United States district attorney for the southern dis- trict of Ohio, vice Harlan Cleveland, resigned.

Amendments to Maritime Rules of the Road Adopted Today The international marine conference re- sumed its sessions at 11 o'clock this morning. A number of amendments were offered to the rules of the road by Dr. Sieve-King of Ger- many, Mr. Frederick Vernay of Siam and others. They were jaid over and will be printed. After these had been disposed of Mr. Goodrich, delegate from the United States, with a view to expediting the work of the con- ference, offered a resolution on the order of business, providing that after any article of the rules of the road has been adopted no further coptupenataeeaucue na cept upon a r vote. The resolution was heartily approved by Delegate Hall of Great Britain and it was unanimously adopted. The amendment proposed by Delegate Flood of Norway, providing that the green and red side lights on a vessel shall be placed in steam yessels not forward of the masthead light and in sailing vessels as near abreast of the fore- mast as practicable, was then taken up. The amendment was opposed by some of the delegates and the report of the committeo on lights was quoted in support of this opposition. That report ee it as the opinion of the committee that it i) practically impossible to assign to the side lights a certain fixed position in regard to the foremast light. A yea and nay vote was taken and it resulted in the adoption of the amend- ment is vote of 13 to 9, The delegate from Brazil offered an amend- ment to article 13. The amendment was read and under the rule went over for forty-eight hours. RATES OF SPEED OF VESSELS IN BAD WEATHER. On motion of Delegate Flood of Norway the words “during heavy rain storms” were in- serted in article 13 in connection with the deti- nition of heavy weather, in which vessels are to go at a moderate rate of 5] On motion of the delegate from Brazil the consideration of the principle of the rates of speed, as contained in article 13, was taken up. An amendment previously proposed by Dele- te Sieve-King of Germany as a substitute for this article was taken up. The amendment rovides that in a fog, mist, falling snow or eavy rain storm every ship, whether a saili ship or a steam ship, shall g moderate spee 80 far as is under the circumstances of the case necessary to prevent risk of collision. When a fog signal is heard ahead or on either bow, and it is impossible to ascertain the position of the vessel giving such eignal, th is to be stopped at once. And when it is safe and practicable and necessary to provent risk of collision, ships in a fog, mist, falling snow or heavy rain storms must lie to or anchor. A recess was then taken, — pee ae WOMAN’S BOARD OF MISSIONS. The Second Day’s Session of the Phila- delphia Branch.

Worke has been promoted to private of the second class and John Dowling has been appointed to the first class, The Commissioners have re- ceived a letter from George Wagner, who Was dismissed from the force afew days ago, re- questing that bis case be reopened. The Com- missioners, however, refused to grant the re- quest. UNCLEAN CONDITION OF UPPER 14TH STREET. Several days ago Mr. George P. Moloney of $422 14th street northwest in a letter to the Commissioners called their attention to the unclean condition of 14th street beyond the Boundary and asked if something could not be done. The matter was referred to Maj. Moore, who has the supervision of street cleaning. In his report upon the subject be says that there is a cinuse in the contract for street sprinkling and for sweeping streets which confines the work to the city of Washington; however, two squares of 14th street northwest beyond Bound- ary are paved andat this time very dirty, and he would respectfully recommend that the broom men and carts may be employed one day to clean this important piece 1 thorough- fare at the same rate paid for street cleaning in the city. The appropriation for such purposes, he adds, is made for the streets and alleys in the District of Columbia, The Commissioners will act upon this matter and order the work done, as recommended by Major Moore, “AN UNQUALIFIED TRESPASS.” Several days ago while the engineers of the District were engaged on the extension of 17th street they entered the yard of Mr. 0. W. Guerdrum, in Anacostia, and cut the top off of @ large oak tree to obtain thesight desired. Mr. Guerdrum wrote to the engineer in charge of the work requesting damages. The matter was referred to the attorney for the District, and, in an opinion rendered today, he says that the act was an unqualified trespass and must be compensated. He says that the amount should be deducted from the pay of the officer who didit. The engineer who did the cutting, ina letter to Capt. Rossell, goes into the matter in detail and winds up by saying that if the engineers are prevented from trimming and cutting trees, when necessary, great loss of time, inconvenience and error wiil result, RAPID TRANSIT. The Commissioners this morning gave a hearing to Mesers. H. D. Cooke, H. L, Earle, W. L. Judson, Robert Gillham and ex-Commis- sioner Dudley, representing the Judson rapid transit company. Some days ago the Metro- politan railroad oe ip in a letter to the Commissioners, asked permission to lay an additional track on Brightwood avenue or 7th street extended, the re to be used to be what is known as the Judson pneumatic sys- tem. The matter was referred to Capt. Rossell, who recommended that it be referred to the attorney for the District for an opinion as to whether or not this railway company has the right, under its charter, approved October 18, 188%, to lay a roadway which shall be operated under this system. After a consulta- tion the Commissioners decided. upon the recommendation of Major Tanuaney g not to refer the matter to Attorney Riddle, but to allow the company to lay their system, pro- vided they agreed to take up aud restore the street to its former condition. The proposod road will be a mile and three-quarters long, of single track, with switches and turnouts. It will be built at the end of 7th street, where the cable road terminates. Mr. Robert Gillham will be in charge of the construction. SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The Commissioners this morning gave a hearing to Rev. Drs.

After All the Argument the Chong Lee Case is Dismissed on a Technicality. This afternoon in the Police Court whee Chong Lee's case was called Mr. Shillingto® filed « domurrer to the evidence and moved @ dismissal on the grounds that the proof did not sustain the charge. Counsel on both sides are gued the question of proof and law and the judge then gave his views on the question. In the course of his remarks he said that Chong Lee kept a placo where be Permitted smoking of opium for gain. The smoking, he said, was injurious to health and brings about poverty anda permanent com ition that can hardly be remedied. The China- men furnished these people with the means of self-destruction and the court is not going to shut its eyes at fact, The community is em titled to some protection and this court is going to grant such protection when there isa law to sustain it, The judge overruled the demurrer. “Then I'll make my defense,” ssid Mr. Shil- lington. “The court hasn't time to hear it this after- noon.” eaid the judge. “But,” added counsel, “Tl only take @ minute, Mr, Dyson take the stand,” Fred Dyson, a hotel keeper, was sworn. “Whore do you live?” inquired Mr. Shilling- ton. “At 342 Pennsylvania avenue,” responded wit ens, Vhere does Chong Lee live?” “At Sid.” Mr. Shillington then called Judge Miller's attention to the information, which stated that Chong Lee's place was 342."
