Action of the Federation of Labor— Waiting for Today’s Conference. The carriage makers’ lockout of the Messrs. Joyce's establishment seemed in good spirits today. They are still keeping watch of the depots for the purpose of interviewing any new men that may come into the city to take places in Joyce's establishment, It was an- nounced yesterday that Mr. RE. Joyce had gone to New York to secure additional men, but the lockout men were of the opinion today that he had gone to Connecticut. The men found much satisfaction in having induced two of the new men to withdraw from Joyces’, as stated in yesterday's Stan. . HARD TO CONVINCE, Members of the “persuasive” committee made a protracted effort last evening to con- vince another of the new men that it would be better that he should quit work. He met their arguments with a statement that the members of the firm of Joyces bad assured him that he was not keeping the locked-out men from employ- ment t if he left none of the old men would be reinstated. but another new man would be brought in. The attempt to induce this man to leave had not proved successful this morn- ing. . GAYS THEY WERE NOT HASTY. One of the locked-out men told a Stan ré- Porter today that the representation that the men had been hasty in their action at Joyces’ was not correct, He said the employers were given at least two months to consider the mat- ter. He himself had agreed to remain if the firm would promise to give, at a reasonable distance im the future, the reduction of hours asked for, ACTION OF THE FEDERATION OF LABOR, As stated in Tax Sra, several labor organ- izations have already passed resolutions ex- pressing sympathy with and promising support to the locked-out carriage makers, Last night ata meeting of the Federation of Labor, at- tended by representatives of twenty-two unions, resolutions were adopted setting forth that as “the Messrs, Joyce are alleged to have determined to refuse further ployment to their old hands, many of whom have been in theix service for years, because of a strike for the nine hours’ work day, which has been adopted in all carriage-making shops in the city,” and as “the Messrs. Joyce are further al- leged to have declared their intention of im- porting new hands from other cities and giving them the nine-hour day;” it is resolved “that we pledge the help of organized labor of the District of Colum! to the locked-out car- riage makers” and “that we hope the Messrs, Joyce will see the propriety of an amicable settlement with their old employes, and of giv- ing to them the employment and hours of labor they are willing to give to strangers from other cities, THE CONFERENCE TODAY. The conference between a committee of the locked-out men and the Messrs, Joyo: held at the Messrs. Joyce's office at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon, and until the result of that con- ference is known no definite plans can be an- nounced by the strikers. The result will be announced at a meeting of carriage makers to be held at Shea’s Hail tonight. AT HEADQUARTERS Tropa. “Forgive and forget is all we want,” said Mr. David Fagan of the Coach Makers’ Assembly, who was found in the room of the locked-out men at No. 307 Missouri avenue today, “We hope that the matter will be peaceably settled this evening when the committee waits upon Mr. Joyce and we are building on nothing but hope. "We know nothing of Mr. Joyce's inten- tions.” Concerning the men who came here from Philadelphia, Mr. Fagan said that only one of them went to work in Mr. Joyce's shop. They had only heard Mr. Joyce's side of the affair, and when the other sidc was explained to them, two of them, as a matter of principle, declined to continue in Mr. Joyce's employ. A “So far as Mr. Joyce's oid employes were concerned,” continued Mr. Fagan, ‘‘only two of them were union men. Had they belonged to the union the affair would not have happened so suddenly. In that event they would have been educated to the rules of the labor organizations and givon time for arbitration, ‘The men acted hasty, The men who quit work have no ill feeling toward Mr. Joyce, but on the contrary, they are kindly disposed toward him and would rather work in the Joyce shops than in any other shops in the country. ‘They left the shop only on a matter of princi- ple and today thoy are as kindly. disposed to- ward Mr. Joyce as they wer@ the day or a month before the affair happened, “The Carriage Makers Assembly of the Knights of Labor really had nothing to do with the Joyce affair, but they will help the men out financially, morally and otherwise to have the matter arbitrated, “The Joyce shop, and in fact all the fade, F ton shops, beara good name everywhere. If there is any disturbance of any kind it is against the wishes of the laboring men, and will not be tolerated by them. “I defy any man,” he said, “to point out a single case of drunkenness or disorder of any kind among the locked out men.” | ‘THE PHELPS Cas! Concerning the alleged hooting of Mr. Phelps Mr. Fagan saidhe did not believe that there wes any truth in the report, as the men had been very careful to avoid making use of any language reflecting upon or which wouid prove un annoyance to either the employers or the men who are working for them, As tothe men who take the place of the locked-out men he said they would not be mo- lested or interfered with in any manner. They simply will not be recognized, and that is ali. A Divided Organization. ‘The association known as the Mahone Vir- ginia Republican Association has divided. One body calls itself the Mahone Republican Asso- ciation, the other the Virginia Republican As- sociation. Both bodies held meetings last night and both claim that the other is the “bolting” organization, \ A motion was made to expel Ralph Singie- ton from the association for, as it was claimed, unlawfully detaining the books and papers of the association in his possession. Mr. Singleton is president of the Mahone Association, which he claims is the regular organization, and as such presided at eeting last night, Struck With a Pitcher. In the Police Court today Robt. Blackiston was charged with an assault on John Champ, and they were both charged with an affray, It was testified that Blackiston and Champ had me words at Casey's saloon, ané Blackiston struck Champ with a glass pitcher. Blackis- ton was fined $10 or thirty days, and the affray case dismissed, esac Ne “Every reasoning man and woman should sign the petition in today’s STA BR against the surrender of the lives and property of the people of South Washington to the Pennsylvania railroad, ——>—__ Virginia State Notes.

PLEASANT’S RAILRUAD. Hurt and the Commissioners. m= SAYS THE COMPANY PURPOSES TO LAY a ROAD .OUT THAT WAT 48 BOOK AS POSSIBLE—THE COMMISSIONERS ASKED TO IN- DORSE MME PENDING BILL. The committee from the Mount Pleasant citizens, who want the Washington and George- town Rrailroad Company to furnish them with better accommodations for travel in that neighborhood, called on the District Commie- sioners at noon today to confer with them. on the subject and to ask them for their advite upon the legislation Proposed in the House bill No. 11407. Messra. Andrew A. Lipscomp, Chapin Brown, W. B. Matthews, W. E. Brown and Dr. A. B, Jameson of the committee were en hand promptly on time, - MB. HURT MAKES A STATEMENT. Mr. Hurt, president of the railway company, happened to be in the hallway of the building at the oh and was pep yas — room Present at answer -to some uestions he stated that the letter of complaint from the Mount Pleasant citizens had been sent to him andhe had promised to lay it be- fore the directors at their next meeting. They have not met as yet and he thought this action on the part of the committee was somewhat remature. He said he did not think the raffic on 14th street extended was heavy enough to warrant running all the cars out to Mt Pleasant. The company was willing and ready to do all possible to accommodate the people, but such » matter would necessarily take time and it could not be done in a day. THE THREE-ORNT FARE. When questioned by Mr. Lipscomb Mr. Hart said that the extra charge of three cents was the result of an agreement made with the peo- ple of Mount Pleasant at the time the road was extended in response to their request. He said that the company objected to the passage of the bill because of the short space of time allowed for the improvement of the road. and because of the fact that it compels the company to run all their cars out to Mt, Pleasant, whether the traffic demands it or not, He said that in course of time the com intended to send all their cars out to Mount Pleasant, whether it is remunerative or not, for it was thought a traffic could be built up suffi- ciently large to make it so. He said that they intended to expend 2,500,000 in completing the Pennsylvania avenue and 14th Street lines and the people ought not to expect everything all at once. It was unreasonable for them to expect the company tolay a road for a quarter of » mile which must be torn up again as soon as @ cable road is laid down. Mr. Lipscomb said that inasmuch as the street will be concreted probabiy some time this summer, he thouzht it would be proper to Jay the tracks now and thus avoid tearing pp the street again when the cable is substitute TO DO IT 48 SOON AS POSSIBLE, Mr. Hurt said that though they had two years allowed to finish the work they did not intend to use it all and would begin the work as soon as possible. If all the Qaterials were at hand it would not take thirty days to lay the track at that end. He objected to laying temporary track us the company wanted to do everything in good and permanent style. The company are anxious to have a cable road, but there was nota rail over the hill that would answer in a cable line. Mr. Lipscomb asked why the company could not show « little enterprise in this matter and try to build up this populous suburb, It has taken twenty-six years to get two cars running out over that hill, and be thought the whole affair was an outrage perpetrated ona tax-paying community by a company that has a valuable franchise, which it does not seem to appreciate, Mr. Hurt responded that he did not think that an average travel of three passengers for each half trip was sufficiently large to warrant an addition to the number of cars running out to Mount Pleasant, WHAT HE CAN TELL THEM. “Well, but we represent a constituency,” said Mr. Lipscomb, “that expects a definite answer, Mr. Hurt, What shal! we tell them?” “Tell them that the matter will be laid be- fore the directors at their next meeting.” “That's a good deal like the man who said come back next week and he would say when to come again,” was Mr. Lipscomb's brief re- sponse, z Mr. Hurt said he was willing to’ begin work tomorrow if he bad the engineer and the necessary materials at hand. “Don't you know that if you would extend that road out to Piney Branch and remit the extra three cents,” said Mr. Lipscomb, “you would have your cars packed on Sundays and in summer time with picnickers and regular travelers?” “I agree with you entirely, sir,” said Mr. Hurt. “We will have to do all that inside of two years, and if it were possible we would do it in two days, THE COMMISSIONERS ASKED TO APPROVE IT, This seemed to end the matter for the pres- ent, and the committee rose to go, with the request that the Commissioners make a favor- able report on the, bill now before the House, which compels the railroad company to lay @ double track. all the way out to Mount Pleasant within thirty days of the — of the bill, to run all its cars out over this extension and to semit the extra three cents fare, Mr. Douglass responded that the matter would probably be referred to Col. Robert, the Engineer Commissioner, for his decision, and he promised!that it should receive due consider- ution at their hands before any definite action was taken, —_.— The Grand Jury’s Session.

One of the occupants of the Good cottage. near Lake Gervais, on July 13, an elderly lady, was very fond of taking care of fowls, and had raised nearly a hundred chickens and ducks, ‘These were all killed by the storm. The lady had also made a nice lot of soft soap, of which she was very proud. The soap had been left on a board by the side of the house, and of course was carriéd y by the wind. The occupants of the house, it will be remembered, took refuge in the cellar when the storm was ecen com! All were more or less injured and their clothing torn from their bodies. It was nearly half an hour before ull were re! more dead than alive. The poken of was half unconscious, and the moment she was taken from the cellar she took one glance at the work of the tornado, threw up her hands and exclaimed: ‘Oh! where are my ducks and chickens, and ‘where is my nice soft soap?” er soft soap haa probably dissolved in Lake Gervais, but the remains of her ducks and chickens were found here and there within a radius of a mile or more from the house. idea that a tornado could pluck the feathers trom a fowl as clean as could the most accom- plished chef has been laughed at, but some of the chickens and ducks be! ing to the Good family were stripped of every feather. that was not the only re: DISTRICT LEGISLATION, Proposed Route of the Washington Cumberiand Road Into the District. posed railroad along its old route was brought to the attention of the Senate today by « Dill introduced by Mr. Barbour authoriz- img the Washington and Cumberland Railroad Company to extend its road into the District of Columbia.

Mr. Morrow Reports a Bll Providing for Absolute Prohibition. Representative Morrow (Cal.), from the com- mittee on foreign affairs, yesterday reported to the House a substitute for two bills Upon the subject of Chinese immigration, which has been referred to that committee. The bill reported yesterday contains the substantial provisions of both the Morrow and Clunie bills, for which it is substituted. The bill proposes to exclude all Chinese, even those who may hereafter leave the United States and attempt to return, excepting diplo- matic and consular officers and commercial agents, and the coming of Chinese to the United States for transit is expressly prohib- ited. A tine of $500 for each Chinese brought into t he United States is provided for the pun- ishment of vessel masters bringing them, and the versels are to be subject to forfeiture. Provision is also made for the punishment of —— aiding Chinese to enter the United tates by land or otherwise and for the re- moval of Chinese tound unlawfully in the country. Itis further provided that Chinese shall not be admitted to citizenship and that conflicting treaty provisions shall’ be abro- gated. In its report the committee, after reviewing the history of past legislation, says that the act of 1882 had not long been in force when it was discovered that a systematic effort was being made to evade ite terms of exclusion, and in 1883 there were landed at San Francisco alone 3,014 Chinese, including a large class who were without certificates, but claimed that they were in the country at the date of the last treaty. These were permitted to land under writs of habeas corpus issued by the courte. Many also came in as merchants—an excepted class, The act of October 1, 1888, provided against the re- turn of the Jaborers, but did not provide against the coming of Chinese laborers who were never in the United States. ‘The bill now under con- sideration proposes to settle that question. It m exclusion permanent and thoroughly ef- fective. The — refers to a disposition shown to reopen the question of the propriety of exclusion d on statements that the Chi- nese are never found in prisons or poor houses and are peaceful and !aw abiding, In answer to these statements tables are produced to show that in ten years 27,165 Chinese were arrested in San Francisco alone, and astatement made by the chief of police is to the effect that the Chinese commit more crimes in proportion to their number than any race in the city; that they are vicious and immoral and dangerous to the young of both sexes of other races. Chairman Hitt presented a minority re dissenting from the favorable action of the majority upon the bill, as it is in contlict with a treaty now in force, to which the faith of the United States is pledged and which declares that “the United States may regulate, limit or suspend such coming or residence, but may not absolutely probibit it.” Have you signed it yet* If not, don't delay to register your protest against the Atkinson bill, ———_ AN INDIAN CRIME, Young Children Are Often “Murdered for Their Ornaments. From the Gentleman's Magazine. The crime it t proposed to briefly describe certainly exists in Calcutta and in Bengal gen- erally, aud is not unknown, report says, in the south of India, But the circumstances attending it, as here related, are taken from record or founded on observation in the northwestern provinces, The adjective Indian is, however, not inappropriate, because, as far as the writer is aware, the particular offense is unknown eleewhere and, indeed, is suggested and led up to chiefly by habits and associations existing in that part of the east. A social outrage so striking very forci- bly impressed itself on the writer's mind when he was commencing magisterial work 1m a dis- trict near Agra many years ago. And an ac- count of it was written, entitled “Foul Play in the Jungle,” which—published in an ephe- meral magazing and long forgotten by its author as well by everybody else—is only meutioned because some of the facts here put down were doubtless put down there also. It may be safely affirmed, however, have been noticed about this terrible outrage. First, that it is generally committed without due provision for its concealment and often with circumstances of extreme folly. Second, that the crime appears to be almost always dis- covered and punished.

There was aconference there, and it was one of Senatora, That it was informal may be understood from the fact that it did not be- sin until after 9 o'clock and that it lasted until 1:30.

Cameron, Plumb and Vest, and one or ‘two others, It is assumed that the conference wae upon the tariff and that it wasan amicable one, The Senators took off their coats and discussed some fifty-two amendments, “in blocks of five,” around a table, Some of the democrats who have heard of it are inclined to watch the course of their colleagues on the tariff bill, for it is given out that Mr. Vest consented, at dif- ferent times during the confere to advances made by Mr. Plumb and Mr. Cameron im the direction of increased taxation, and even at tempted a “raise” or two himself, When the conference ended the amendments were allon the table, after a number of at tempts had been made by Mr. Vest to “bluff” bis republican associates out of the idea thet they appeared to entertain that he coulda't correctly fix the equivaient ad valorem duty te be derived from the adoption of his combina- tions, Mr. Vest is said to have beaten ail three of his republican competitors at every point, and he was discovered to be particularly familiar with jack-pottery, coo SHOOK HANDS WITH LAFAYETTS. Why a Juror Was Excused From Serv- ing in a Philadelphia Court, From the Philadelphia Preas, ‘The August term of the court of quarter ses- sions was opened in the new court house yes terday, with Judge Hare upon the bench, A grand jury was impancled and Wi. Carruthers of the twenty-fifth ward was appointed fore- man, Among the seversl petit jurors whe wished to be excused was an old gentleman, short and rather thick set, with brown whiskers mingled with gray. He told the judge that he had decided once to serve as a juror, but had changed bis mind again, and wished to be excused for certain reasons of bis own in addition to the fact that he is past seventy-five years of age, “And I can prove that I am past enty-five years of age,” said the old gentle- man. “For when Lafayette came to this city 1 was standing in frontof the state house. They had two lines of men drawn up and La- fayette marched up one line and down the other, He selected ont all the small men am shook hands with them. I was ove of the men with whom the general shook hands.” “I remember distinctly when Gen, Lafayette came here,” said Judge Hare; “I shook bands with the general myself.” The judge then told the juror that he was excused. He was James Fraiser of 331 Pine street. His story created quite a little sensation in the court room, and the people composing the audience were talk= ing about it for some time after i, — HE THINKS HE IS RICH. A California Saloon Keeper Says He ta Heir to $12,000,000, A few days ago E. G. Bert was making a comfortable living out of asaloonin the out skirts of San Francisco, Today he finds that -he is heir toan estate valudl at 12,000,000, Bert told his story as follows: “My father was French, Lis name being Etienne Gustave Bert. He emigrated when a young man to Philadel- phia and was known as Ed Bert, ‘There are three of us in the family—Charles, Fred and myself. My father had an uncle in France who was @ very wealthy land owner and manufae- turer of champagne, of whom I have often beard him speak, and whose favorite he was, Being born in America, however, we boys took little interest im our great uncle and had almost forgotten him until the story of his having left @ large fortune, to which our father and through bim ourselves sre di heirs, came to us, “A lawyer named Schick hada large claim against the estate which, he could not celleet until it was admumistered upon. In order te save himself he instituted a search for the heirs and traced my father to Philadelphia, Here he found my two brothers, Fred and Charles, who are now im the theatrical busi- ness there, He laid the matter before them and advised them to procure proofe of their heir- shipand claim the estate. Fred upon this wrote to his son, Eugeue F. Bert, who is s law- yer, to get from our mother, Julia Bert, all the information she can give. Mother knows more of father's French relatives than we do, be- cause he used to talk with her abont them, especially about this uncle, and I think will be able to furnish proof that will put us ia Possession of our rights.” Etienne Gustave Bert, after living in Phile- delphia for several years, went to California in 1849 and was well known in theatrical circles there. He brought out the Royal Japanese troupe, the first Japanese who ever exhibited outside their native country. With these he traveled through this country and Europe, In St. Petersburg bis fame became known to the Emperor Alexander, who sent his private carriage for him, and in an interview asked for ® private performance of the Japs for the imperial family, This was given and a purse of 5,000 roubles was offered to the old gentle- man and refused, whereupon the czar pre- sented him with a diamond ring.
