RULES OF THE CONVENTION. ‘This is a woman's convention and, of course, interesting from the point of view of the man who thinks the sterner sex monopolizes all kuowledge of parliamentary law. ‘The rules of the convention are comprised in a few sugges- tions to delegates, which, if followed by the | House of Representatives, might greatly facili- tate legislation. They arc as follows: | 1. To make a motion or address the conven- | tion « member must rise and address the chair | (which she does by saying, Madam President) | end, standing, wait for recognition. When ognized by the chair an ee the name of the speaker) the member may proceed. : ile ip keep good order and turn time to the best account by being prompt to make and second motions. brief and pointed in debate and by carefully wntching the proceedings. Delegates can thus greatly facilitate business and incalculably relieve the presiding officer. Let each be w committee of one on perfect or- der and on utiliziug the time. Let each be in the active and not the passive voice and in the midst of the busy hours let us all “study to be quiet” of soul. 2. All motions and resolutions must be re- duced to writing and, after reading, placed in the hands of the secretary. 3. Messages between delegates or between delegates and the secretary and others will be carried by the messengers. 4. Delegates will rise upon the introduction of visitors. 5. Wear the white ribbon and use note book and pencil, —__.—__ Young Woman’s Christian Home.

Mr. Ruffin reported,that the Commissioners had accepted the school building corner of 8th and I streets northwest, and that Superintendent Cook of the public schools and ‘Trustee Cornish téld him that they bad the funds ready to pay the teachers and janitors. Mr. Ruftin requested the committee to recanvass their divisions and report at the next meeting the number of chil- dren yet outof school and the number in school. A number of iriends sent word to the association that they would contribute money and clothing, and the agent, Miss Rosa Brooks, was ordered to collect from them, pases sol Matthew Was Discharged. This morning when Policeman McCormick's case was called before Judge Mills Matthew Quigley, an old offender, responded. Lawyer Moss was Quigley's logal adviser and he ad- mitted a state of facts that his client denied. The officer did not chi that Quigicy was even profane, but said that he made the arrest because a citizen complained that Matthew had talked loud. ‘The prisoner denied the charge, “I was at work all day, so I was,” said Matt, to the judge. “I hauled two loads from Uniou- town, so I did, and when I was sitting in my own house, talking to nobody, this policeman came in and arrested me.” “Because adog has a bad name,” said the court, “it does not necessarily follow that hoe must be bung.” Matthew wus thezeupon discharged, ANACOSTIA, Srazer Nauss axp House Nempens.—Prof. H. 8.

Bede last night at ome on Shannon place by a number of his ARREST! HIMSELF, But Policeman Heide Was Not Placed Behind the Bars. Policeman John C. Heide of the second police precinct made himself a prisoner this morning, but although he arrested himself he did not walk behind the iron bars and have the prison keeper turn the heavy keys on him. The officer had a warrant for himself that had been sworn out by Otto Johnson before Justice O'Neal, and it charged “that on, to wit, the 13th day of October, A.D. 1890, in the District aforesaid, one John C. Heide did then and there, with force and arms, malisiously enter into the premises of occupied by the said Otto Johnson, No. 20 O street northeast, and did then and there ram sack and stat- ter about the bed clothing and other personal property against the form of the statute in such cases made and provided and against the peace and government of tho United States.” It might have been against the peace of the government of the Johnson household, but if it was against the form o! the statute Mr, Mul- lowney, the prosecuting attorney, could not find that statute and he therefore declined to make out an information on the warrant pre- sented. The officer had a warrant for Kate Johuson, the old man's daughter, charging her with threats toward Mary Wright, and Kate’s mother assisted the officer in his search through the house for the daughter. but he failed to find her, It was on account of that visit that the warrant was issued against the officer.

The Chicago Daily News last evening printed anumber of interviews with members of the iron and steel institute reflecting their impres- sions of the McKinley tariff bill, Mr. Charles McNeill of Glasgow, a manu- facturer of iron und steel specialties, likes the country, but he is particularly sore on the high tariff matter. “Your McKinley bill,” he remarked, “is little less than a direct slap at our face. The duties on goods in my line wore high enough without adding thereto. I predict the entire paralysis of Euglish steel manufacturers’ trade with the United States unless the tariff laws are changed. Mr. John Summers, State-of-Bride, England, says that he, in common with a great many of his friends and business associmtes, are in- clined to view the recently passed tariff law with a great deal of apprehension. “For a time,” said he, “it may seem that the high tariff upon iron and steel goods will not geu- erally utfect trade, but the future looks dark to me.” Mr. George Berkely of London rather grufily remarked that he was here in the interest of the iron and steel institute, and #hile he was not satisfied with the embargo laid upon En- glish goods by this country, he considered this 4 very inopportune occasion to express dissatis- faction. Altert Priestman of, Hull, England, man- ufacturer of oil engines, displayed a’ happy frame ot mind when questioned. “I think,” said h,e “that the English manufacturers will on the whole get the best of this McKinley law. It will give us a better chance to compete with the United States in other markets, We will make it so warm for United States manufac- turers that they will find it will take €10 of their money to go as far as 2o0f ours, We will treasury proceeded to the prison, which ernor From there the: they carried prisoners, HOPEFUL OF COMPROMISE. President “Al” Spalding Talks Prettily About the Players’ League. “Yes, the base ball men of the country are wearing 4 decidedly compromising complexion just now,” said Mr. A. G. Spalding in Chicago yesterday. “4 have just returned from New York, where I stopped on my way heme from Europe, and have had an opportunity of feel- ing the base ball pulse. As chairman of the arvitration committee I do not feel at liberty to express.an opinion regarding the matter until after our meeting on the 22d of the pres- ent month, but I will say that very hope- ful of better things. The New York conference was undoubtealy a splendid thing for the game. I and other league men met the Play- ers’ League and found them to be perfect gen- tlemen, while they, I think, did not go away with the impression that we have horns. In fact the meeting had the effect of putting us all in better humor and the kind feelings to- ward one another will go far toward solving the problem. As I have said before the cry is for peace. ~The almost unanimous impression was that this disastrous base ball war must end, and both parties are willing to make all reasonabie concessions to bring about a compromise. Be- tween now and the meeting, a week from Wed- nesday, there will be cousiderable work done. ‘The various clubs of both leagues will hold meetings and express themselves for or against a compromise, and these discussions will be reported to the conference, thus giving us the benefit of local opinion, Then, of course, officials and backers will not be idle and matters will be in such before we convene that # decision can ily "es my Be trip a success as regards Was my an trip a base ball?” Yon uon, The game te be very popular across the water and I bave hopes of international games at no distant date, The foreiguers seem to catch the craze without much effort and the success of the gume among them is assured.” o_o K. of L.

It was decided to issue o circular which will define the position of the organization on the question of partisan pol- ities, The circular reads in part as follows: “First, We have not, nor will we, ask Knights of Labor, by act or word, to indorse any polit- ical party's candidates because of the party. “Becond.
