Potomac Kelief Corps Not Inclined to Sur- render Its Charter. THEY WAVE AN OPINION FROM A COMMITTER OF PROMINENT GRAND ARMY MEN—ACTION OF SOME @. A. R. POSTS—THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE DEAPARTMENT CORPS AND THE POTOMAC CORPS. The action of the president of the national convention of the Woman's Relief Corps in revoking the charter of the Potomac Relief Corps is regarded by the members of that body as void and of no effect. Under the general plan of the organization of the Woman's Relief Corps there is a department organization cor- responding with each department of the G. A. R,, the constituent bodies being auxiliaries of the several Grand Army posts. Beforea depart- ment W.R.C.was organized here Potomac Corps was formed and became the auxiliary not of a separate post, but of the whole department, and received a charter as such. Subsequently @ department corps was organized, with its various auxiliaries, but Potomac Corps matn- tained its separate organization. There has been a conflict between the department corps and Potomae Corps, and at the last encamp- trong effort was made by the department corps to have Potomac Corps’ charter revoked and to have Potomac Corps take its place a3 an auxiliary of the depart- ment or its membership buted among the ‘suxiliary corps already existing. The opinion that the action of the national president in revoking the charter of Potomac Corps is void is held by Gen. 8. 8. Burdett and other prominent members of the Grand Army who have investigated the status of the corps 9.98 | and its relations to the national convention. They find tha: the corps occupies the excep- tional status of an auxiliary iy, pot to @ Post, but to the Department of the Potomac, A.B. Its charter was not withdrawn by the convention, and they think the president has no legal authority to take such action in the premises. TAG. A. R COMMITTEE SAYS. Continuing, the committee stated: “The action of the national convention must un- doubtedly be taken as an expression of the wish of that body that Potomac Corps change its status from that of an auxiliary to the De- partment of the Potomac, G.A. R., to that of an auxiliary to one of the posts of that depart- ment. That Potomac Corps will desire to com- ly with the wish of the convention, if they Ena it feasible. we have no doubt. . Whether or not, all the circumstances of the situation con- sidered, such a change of status could be ef- fected the corps itself must consider and decide. ‘We can see that there are very many difficulties in the way, some of which may be insurmount- able. There is the fact that to effectuate such @ change others in authority must act and con- sent, and, above and beyond all, it is to be con- sidered whether or not, even though the change could be effected in form, it would not result in fomenting such antagonisms in the depart- ment W. R.C. as would be disastrous to all concerned. All these things the corps must consider. “If it should be found that for any sufficient reason the corps cannot comply with the con- vention’s wish it may occur to some of you that the question should be considered whether itwould not be best for all concerned that Potomac Corps voluntarily surrender its char- ter and continue its good work as an entirely independent body. This question derives greater significance from the fact, brought to our attention since the preparation oi this paper began, that the national president has Promulgated a special order purporting to re- Voke and annul your charter. While we de- lore this action on her part, and can but deem it as not only unwarranted by the rules and regulations, under which she acts, but as in direct opposition to the expressed will of the Jast national convention, and therefore as being utterly void and of no effect, yet we cannot disguise it from ourselves, and we are sure that it seems to you, that an occasion has been pre- cipitated, by no fault of yours, on account of which the greatest circuinspection should be exercised and final action taken on lines which shall have no other guiding motive than the good that may be done or the evil that is to be avoided. It is your right to continue your organization and work precisely as you have been conducting it, notwithstanding the unau- thorized order of the national president. The question now before you is not. therefore, one of Tight, but one of policy, which you may and must decide for yourselves. If, in determining upon the policy to be adopted, you are met with the seeming alternative of withdrawing from further connection with the Woman's Re- lief Corps, we think that as comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, speaking not only for ourselves, but for a large body of the comrades of this department, we may ask you to consider the feasibility of continuing your organization in an independent form to the end that the needy may still have the benefit of your labor. You have won the confidence of this community. It will respond to your appeal It would seem almost an offense against chari to now destroy so useful an organization, built up by so much of patient toil. And this is all the more true since all unprejudiced minds must agree that there is not now and never has been any just occasion for bringing about the present Jismeul “Finally, in determining what your duty in the premises is, we venture to remind you that winter is upon us; that the nee: ‘our dis- tressed comrades, their widows and orphans will soon be pressing; that the funds of the posts and of the department applicable to charity will be treyched upon by the great expense which will be entailed upon us in pre- paring for the entertainment of the coming national encampment and national convention, and that your final decision should be. ax we believe it will, guided by the chief purpose of your organization, that charity and mercy that has been your watchword.” Those associated with Gen. Burdett on this committee,and whose name: emt report, are: J. B. Burke, W Faunce, Jno. M. Keogh. Jno. P. Church, M. Enimet Urell, Newton Ferree and Wm. Gibson. ‘THE DESIRE TO MAKE A CHANGE. If the order of the national convention should be carried out the Potomac Corps would have the same status as the seven relief corps now in existence in this city forming a department. ‘The members of the Potomac Corps say they have no desire to change their present status, as they claim that thgy are doing s good work in relieving the need¥, and they know of no good reason why a change should be made. On the other hand the opposition assert that the plan of the organization should be pyxerved and that this plan does not contemplate de- tached corps. Of the seven corps now m the city five are white and two colored. A colored corps was first organizedand then the Potomac ¢ ladies of the Potomac Corps claim question at all, and assert that the only ques- tion involved is a change in the status of Po- tomac Corps—a change which the members of the corps do not favor. There is no doubt a good deal of feeling growing out of this controversy. It is not of recent date either, but begun some four years ago, and has not jost but ‘rather gained in in- tensity during that period. The action of the national president appears to be a victory for one side, and so it would be if the order was recognized as legal and obligatory by the Potomac Corps. Lut such is not the case, and the ladies of the corps announce their inten- tion of continuing to act as they have since their organization, As many, in fact most of the ladies belonging to the relief corps, are wives of members of the Grand Army posts in this city, the members of these organizations Psorte’s CoxontcatiovaL Cavaca.—Chins | are more or less involved in this contest.

De ot ee ee A horde of Washington sports invaded Prince George's county, Md., yesterday afternoon and broke the law-of the commonwealth with bull- down in every variety of vehicl wheels. Conversation was punctuated with dashes. Scrapping matches were ruled out and the boys came back whole. A good many dollars shifted pockets. ‘The battleground was & twelve-foot pit with earth floor and planked sides, built in a rickety barn that had evi- dently been hit a hard blow by the last storm. On rough benches arranged about the pit in cireusstyle and on perches in the rafters were the spectators. If the names of some Of these re published a shudder would overcome #0- ciety. ‘The surrounding grounds were turesque with brilliant sweat cloths, shell games and cappers. The first fight of the day was between Tongh, © Georgetown bull that wears Jep, owned and fought by Mr. Payne. ‘ough is a white with brindle spots, of good Ptigree and record. “He is a son of the late ummy.

The fight was for $100 pit money and the championship of Maryland, Virginia and the District. Banks, one yoar ago, kuled j bldod-curdling victor of other mills. His enemy, | Dick, was said to be green and had never hada | good mouthful of dog ment. Odds of five to three were offered on Banks, with no takers. Banks weighed in at 31}, pounds and Dick at 32:¢. The former was handled by Mr. Conners and the latter by Mr. Walker. It wade rush fight from the start and at the end of twenty- five minutes even money was offered. Dick fought like a demon and wrestledlikea veteran Banks fought under and every once in a while would eat a leg. Excitement ran high. Men Fglled at the dogs and shricked at excli other. ats, canes and umbrellas were flourished. The dogs were parted, sponged and fanned. Dick could not scratch and Banks was carried to his hack in triumph. Dick was badly punished. Challenges for another fight were laid down, taken up and dropped and the bar raided.

Somer Prosperity in JMinois, To the Editor of The Evening Star. Your report of the Thanksgiving sermon of Rey. Dr. K. H. McKim of this city contained the following: “In Illinois carefully collected statistics show that one-half of the intelligent workingmen are not even able to earn enough for their daily bread and have to depend upon the labor of women and children to eke out their miserable existence.” Asa citizen of Illinois I dislike to hoar that state slandered in sucha manner. The state- ment is untrue, and the doctor's statistics were evidently prepared by a “calamity howler” for campaign purposes. I do not know of any able-bodied, intelligent man who depends upon his wife and children to cke out a “miserable existence.” On the other hand I will state as an example of the prosperity of the people of Illinois that a young man with whom {am acquuinted went to Illinois in 1874, at the age of sixteen, and from the spring of 1874 to 1886, when he left there, he had not been idle six months, never received less than £1.50 a day (except for about three months), which is equal to more than $2 aday in Washington, and when he left theze he was married, owned his own home, had mone; in bank, and his salary had been raised until it Was $65 a month—as much as $100 here. This case is not unusual, and if the doctor will visit AUlinois he will find the people prosperous aud Lappy, who cnjoy Thanksgiving sermons instead of sermons of commiseration. 3 Crrex oF Irirxors. —— A Colored Patti. .

HANFORD’S SUCCESS. A Washington Boy's Rapid Rise in the Dra- matic Profession. Mr. Charles B. Hanford is winning “golden opinions from all sorte of people” for his ex- cellent work in the part of Malvotio, which he Night.” The Minneapolis Tribune recently said of him: “Charles B Hanford deserves unqualified praise for his performance of Malvolio, the who is ‘sick of self love’ and who ‘tastes with a distempered appetite.’ Mr. Han- ford is an actor whose intelligence commends him to favor. He has evidently studied bis art eonscientiously. His most valuable experience has been in the very best school of le- timate Grama, namely, as a member of the th and Barrett combination. Mr. Hanford possesses three gifts of nature—a fine physique, & clear, strong voice, and. that Indlepsnsable inexplainable attribute—magnetism. Han- jor Malvolio’s lines with such distinct- nese nnd unetion, and accompanied them with such gracefal and appropriate action, that the audience saw and folt what Shakespeare in- tended to reveal i Mr. Hanford’s many friends in this city will be glad to lenrn of hix success aud will com- mend bis determination to star next season in “Juliue Cesar.” ‘This was the play in which Mr. Hanford first appeared with the old Law- rence Barrett Dramatic Club, and his excellent work as Caesius commanded the warmest praise. The kindly manner in which he was then mentioned first induced Mr. Hanford to adopt the stage asa profession and be chose tlic right path in commencing from the bottom. Hiv natural ability and hard study gained tor | hita rapid advancement and when he was with the Booth-Barrett combination heattracted the attention of the critics in every city. His Mare Antony won for him emphatic recognition and his curtain enlis were as pronounced ax those of the stare with whom he was associated. Mr. Hanford has purehased the scenery and prop- erties that were used by Messra, Booth and tt in their production of “Julius Cesar” and will star as Mare Antony next season. Al- roady his time is being booked and the outlook is favorable for success. ~ Original. No. 6 Onaxor Crncizs.
