MERCHANT TAILORS’ Am Important National Organization Meets at the Ebbitt House. PRESIDENT MERWIN'R ADDRESS AND PLEASANT WELCOMING REMAKKS BY MESSES. 3. M. PARKER AND F. J. HEIVERGER-—GETTING DOWNY To BTSI- NESS—GOOD WOKE OF THE LOCAL COMMITTEE. EXCHANGE, ‘The red partor of the Ebbitt House did not Degin to accommodate all those who desired this Morning to attend the opering session of the seventh annual convention of the merchant tailors’ national exchange of the United States. In fact a good many of the delegates were able te get no further than the door. ‘This was due toa large extent to the presence of the Jadies who decided to at ing session. A large number of the delegates are accompanied to the city by their wives and daughters and they showed their interest in the | eouvention by th costumes of the gave a pleasing which is seidom seen men for business purr irpresence. ‘The handsome Jies and their brig yy to the convention mu a meeting of business As the delegate convention a ted in the ree siness when at to hold up in their Persons the mirror to fashion, they make xo change in this particular when they go abroad. THE BEST DRESSED SET OF WEN. not surprising that the delegates as a wre the best dressed set of men that has ever assembled in this city. There was not a badly fitting coat in the convention ball, and the result was as fine a dis play of » manty beauty as is possible to see. It is also but just to say that the eauty did not all lie in the clotues, but the garments served merely as an approximate setting for the individuals in an assemblage ‘that is made up of bright, active, enterprising Dusiness men. Owing to the hospitslities which the dele- gates enjoyed as the guests of the Washington exchange last evening the convention was not called to order at the hour named on the pro- gram. The interval was pleasantly passed by the members in social conversation, and the corridors of the hotel were filled with grou; of delegates who were exchanging greetings after a separation of a year. PRESIDENT MERWIN CALLS TO ODER. Finally about 11 o'clock the president, Mr. B. R. Merwin, rapped for order, and the buzz of conversation ceased. As the delegates looked upon the handsome figure of their president they felt that they were well represented in the man who held the chief office im the gift of the | exchange. Mr. Merwin is not only a hand- some man and well dressed, but he iss very | capable presiding officer. ‘Prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Milburn, D. D., the well-known blind preacher, who is now the chaplain of the House. Commissioner Douglass was down on the program for an ad- dress of welcome, but instead of putting fm an appearance he sent a letter stat- ing that his official duties required his presence before the House commitive on Sppropriations. He reminded the members there in the District as well as elsewhere the question of appropriation is only second to the old flag. WELCOMED DY 3fR. Xt. M. PARKER. ‘The president of the Washington board of trade, Mr. M. M. Parker, however, was present and in bis usual happy vein he welcomed the delegates to this city in sach terms that left no doubt in their mins that the people of Wash- ington were glid to sec them. Mr. Parker's gallant nature would not allow him to omit Feference to the ladies and he said in comment ing on that fact that it was the fairest and most | attractive convention he had ever welcomed to | this city. The delegates will be glad to hear this and it is probable that the ladies did not object, as they were observed to beam upon the speaker with approval in their looks. Although ir. Parker «iid uot have on his best suit of clotheshe did not hesitate to dweil upon the im- Portance of men being well dressed. Such a| mas, he added, has your respect even though he be ugly, and thé delegates indorsed this senuiment 4 PRESENT TO MA. HEIEERGER. Farther words of welcome were spoken by Mr. ¥.. J. Heiberger, the president of the Washing- tom exchange. This pleasant duty was dis- charged in a very graceful and effective man- ner, and after Mr. Heiberger concluded he was surprised when President Merwin, on behalf of the Washington exchange, presented him with a handseme gold-headed cane. As his work as the head of the organization in this eity is thoroughly appreciated this recognition met with the general approval of the conven- ‘tion, as indicated by hearty and prolonged ap- plause. ‘Then Mr. Heiberger was obliged to make another little speech. After this pleasant episode the delegates gave their attention to the annual report of the president. Mr. Merwin is suffering from Sold, and after reading as lo mitted he called on the secrets It Dod THE FEESIDENT'S REFORT. ‘The report was of great interest and reviewed fn detail the work of the first year, with recom- mendations that would tend to facilitate the ‘objects of the organization and lead to greater Wefulness. Reference was made in the report to the Question whether, as a trade, a fashion plate “of eoutined styles for our own use would be advisable.” that if they have a « I members of the exchange which would not be made known until the actual opening ef the season, ray March and September of each year, the clothing houses would be wholly im the dark as to the styles the custom trade would use. While such a publication Wight not prove to be @ financial success the President thought that it is certainly worth all it will cost to give it a trial, He therefore recommended that tue fashion com- Wittee prepare o pluie in ample time for dis- tribution tor te ‘all trade or 1592. FOREION-MADE CLOTHING. ‘The report further recommended that the Various exchanges take action on the proposi- tion to refuse to alter foreign-made clothing, amd to give customers information in advance that if they see fit to make purchases of clothes abroad they must| net look to the members of the exchan, to help them out when their garments need teration. The report stated that as these Ments Were in Most instauces so miserable uly the aid of the American tailor can put | them in condition to be of auy value whatever. ‘The report called attention to the fact that the Resolution regarding the limit of credit to sixty days bas not been put unanimously in practice. Is was urged that this rule be followed. ‘The address was referred to « committe, with instructions to tuke into consideration the Various recommendations A NATIONAL EXCHANGE BURGER. ‘The president then announced that the con- ‘vention was ready for business; but befure the delegates were allowed to consider the details of business Mr. Heiberger, on behalf of the ‘Washington exchange, presented to the na- tional bodys burgee. which displayed on the Blue center the initials of the organization. Around the border were thirty-oue stars, which re) mated the number of exchanges belong- ing to the body. It is the intention to have this Durgee displayed over the building whet the annual conventions are held, ‘The question then came up as to the time of Bolding the session, and the fear was expressed by some that the attractions of the city would have the effect of reducing tie attendance. Qne member suggested that the quorum be fixed at three, so that if the members did not attend ould goon. Another member wanted to place onthe chairman of each delegation the re- lity of having the entire delegation resent at the sessions, but this suggestion was Sipoed cf when a delegate te marked that if this action was taken | it would be necessary to supply the @bsirmen with chainsand locks. The delegates Pecognized the force of this criticism, but the discussion led to remarks about the importance of attending to business. The president re- Minded the delegates that they had come here to transact business and he hoped this duty would be performed. He said iat there was ewple provision made for every one tosecali| Rochester—W. D.

An order of business was adopted and then the president caused = good deal of laughter by appointing three members to act as ser- geants-at-arms. The delegates made merry over these appointments and the president was asked to inform the finance committee what the compensation of these new offi The reply was that a seale of sal not been determined upon. The n were read and the exchange, in view of the fact that it was now an incorporated body, decided to for- matly adopt the constitution and by-laws, which was done. TRE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The report of the executive committee was adopted and at 1 o'clock the convention took # recess until 2 o'clock. ‘There will be no session this evening. The convention will mect at 9:30 tomorrow morning. There will be an afternoon session. On Thursday, which is the Inst day, there will be two sessions and that evening’ the officers will be instalied. Tomorrow at 12 o'clock the delegates will be presented to the President. ‘THE LOCAL coMMITTEE. The arrangements made by the local ex- change for the comfort and care of the visitors are very much appreciated. The attendance of | members is the largest known in the history of | the organization and from all indications the present meeting will be one of the most suc- cessful. ‘The delegates find that practically the entire hotel building ix at their disposal. The pariors along the corridor leading to the con- | vention room are used as headquarters for the | *arious committees and for the delegates gen- erally. ‘These rooms are in charge of members | of the local committee, who take the visitors in | hand with a hospitality that is very delightful | toe stranger iu a strange city. TEE RECEPTION LAST SIGHT. A reception was given last evening at the Ebbitt in honor of Mr. B. R. Merwin, tho presi- dent of the exchange. and Mrs. Merwin. The op- | portunity thus afforded for the delegates to be- [come acquainted with each other and the reci Washington members was thoronghly aj ted. The president of the Washington ex- hange, FP. J. Hieberger, and Mrs. Hieberger ssisted in the reception. There was fine | music, and at the close of the reception some | of the young people indulged in dancing. The spacious rooms were crowded during the even- | ing and the local committee of arrangements revived numerous congratulations upon the perfection of the arrangements. = ‘Among the many promivent tailors at this convention none are mere popular than Mr. I F. Lindsay of St. Louis, vice president. menced bis busi- ness career in Kanka- ce, HL, in 1866, as a member of the firm of x Bros. In the ‘year 18/1. bis brother, with- J. Lindsay. SS drew from the . ned in Chicago just six months before the famous holocaust. In ay he etal LEWIS F. LtNpsay. another y er, L. F. Lindsay, joined bim for the second time and in business again as Lindeay Bros., continning as such for twelve years. “In 1885 the brothers again separated, L. F. Lindsay going to St. Louis. For three years he was presilent of the exchange in that city and for the past three years has been its secretary. As a worker he is tnexcelled. His exchange has doubled its membership since the last. meoting of the national body. He is ® valuable mem- ber and has the interests of his profession and the welfare of its organization close at heart. His face is familiar to thoae readers of the Stan who have attended the national conven- tion of the Young People’s Society of Chris- tian Endeavor. Asa musical leader his accom- lishments are of a high order. He had the Ronor of leading the great convention of Christian Endeavor held in St. Louis in 1890. His excellent work on that occasion commended him to the people of Minneapolis for the con- vention of 1891, which was the largest religious assemblage ever held in this country. Mr. Lindsay had the great honor of leading the famons Gilmore band in ten concerte during the four years of the exporition in St. Louis. Mr. Join Bradley, the second vice president, enjoys the respect of all who have the pleasure of knowing him. He hails from Pittsburg, but was bornin England in 1840 and served an old-fashioned appren- ticeship of nearly six years to learn tailoring, his parents paying £5 sterling as a premium to the master for tokixg him. Heoftencontrasts the aspirations and con- x \ LY dition of boysinAmerica with those e “old country.” “Think.” he will say, “of sending a boy of fifteen from five to seven years to learn to be a tailor in this country and paying a pre- mum for the privilege; but then you know this is a great country, and a boy of fifteen is thought a ‘mutf “if he is not going to college or earning from €30 to $40 a month: the learning of # trade is not thought to be necessary, “is considered, in fact, a waste of time.” ‘After Mr. Bradley was through his ap- preuticeship be went to London, and there worked on the board for about seven years, and afterward spent about two years in Paris, where he first made a start in the cutting room, after which, in 1870, he eame to this country. After cutting a couple of years in jew York he went weet. Finally be came east in and settled in the smoky city, where he has been located since 1874, first as cutter and for the last ten years as boss, catering to the wants of some of the best dressers of the cit air. Bradley 1s a firm believer in, and an active member of, his local exchange.’ He was pres- ent at the birth of the national exchange in Philadelphia, and has attended every annual and semi-annual convention since the national organization was formed, THE DELEGATES.

Senators Higgins, Gibson and Faulkner, asa subcommittee of the Senate Distriet committee, gave a hearing this morning to members of the District bar in favor of the bill intro- duced by Senator Gibson (by request) to amend the laws relating to land titles in the District. Mr. John Ridout, Mr. Mills Dean and Mr. R, H. Burton appeared in favor of the Dill. No one appeared in opposition to it ‘Fhe bill provides in substance as follows: Sec. 1. The term “heirs” shall not be requisite in any decd or will hereafter made of land to create or convey an estate in fee sim- ple, bat every grant or devise of land shall vest in the grantee all the interest and estate of the grantor, legal and equitable, unless an intent to pass a less estate or interest is expressed or necessarily implied. Sec. 2. Where twoor more personsare named as grantees, except when named or taking as trustces, such persons shail be deemed and held to take as tenants in commen and not as joint tenants, unless » coutrary intent is e pressed. Sec. 3. The recitals in any deed of trustee, executor, guardian or public officer heretofore or hereaiter recorded in the proper office in the’) District shall, in favor of the partis in posses- sion, actval or constructive, eldiming thereun- der, be prima facie evidence in all courts of law'and equity of the facts recited. Sec. 4. Vossession of land in the District heretofore or hereafter obtained without {raud or collusion and for ten years by any per- son and those under whom he claims, either in person or by teuants, with claim of absolute ownership, shall be deemed and taken in all courts of law and equity to vest the possessor with a fee-simple title t6 such land: Yrovided, ‘That no such posession shall bar any person claiming an interest in such land, and being an i or insano when such possession com- menced, or any pereon claiming at the expira- tion of such tem years’ possassion any interest therein os reversioner or remainderman, from bringing o maintaining ay suit or action ia 4 MUNICIPAL BUH@ING —— All the Members of the Senate Pablle Betld- ings Committee Fayap 2%, Washington needs a bulldjag. This condition has beep meade to 9 arest many people and it ig nog phat the Senate committee on pubile oad Grounds is willing (@ belp the work along. ‘The bill by which this js to be dope has been roferred to the committee, but there has been no meeting since the pefel 80 several members knew nothing ‘about the measure. All the members, with the exception of Senator Quay (who jg out of town), were seen this afternoon by a Bran reporter. Senator Stanford, who is chairman, said was decidedly in favor of any movement to give the District government a home of its own. He knew nothing of the bill, but his mind was made up as to the policy involved. Rented buildings wero undesirable in most instances and certainly in this. Senator Morrill was pleased to know that a Proposition had been made to give District officials permanent shelter. He favored the idea, always had and always would. “1 believe firmly,” said Senator Squire, ‘in the doctrine that the government should provide buildings in which its officialsmay have satisfactory opportunities to perform their duties. If the District needs. municipal build- ing, and, from the introduction of this meas- uresl presume it does, I shall fayor the passage of the bill and the granting of all necessary appropriations.” “So the District wants a government build- ing,” said Senator Carey. “It ought to have one. The idea of housing government officials in rented buildings is ridiculously unbusiness- like I am emphatically in favor of the govern- ment residing in its own house.” Senator Vest docs not waver from the stand he took long ago. He has always favored a sufficiency of public buildings as a matter of right and true economy. Washington's busi- ness interests will not suffer at his hande. “Without knowing anything of the bill in question,” remarked Senator Daniol, “I will respect of sucb land, if # suit or action be brought in one year frem und aite- the re- moval of the disability or the terminaticn of the intermediate estate or estates, ax the case may be: And provided further, That no pos- session heretofore commenced and having con- tinued for less than twenty years shail bea bar to any suit begun within one year from and after the passage of this act.

Sections @ and 7 provide a mode by which, after public advertisement on a petition filed incourtamd proof taker under the direction of the court, a decree may be obtained estab- lishing the petitioner's title by possession, and thie decree, on being filed and recorded among the land records, forms oue of the muniments Of title with a saving in favor of persons labor- ing under disabilities. Sections 8 and 9 provide an expeditious mode of perpetuating record proof of heirship, where titles depend upon the tuct as to whether a per- son of one name making a conveyance is the heir-at-law of the last record owner of a dif- ferent name. Section 10 remedies the evil by which under existing law the real estate of # deceased per- son is subject to wale by decree in chancery for the payment of his debts, in the event of his personal estate proving insufficient. The Jaw fixes no time within which a bill may be filed for that purpose, so that no one is saie in purchasing real estate of a deceased person. Senator —— said that sections 1 and 2 need not be discussed. Mr. Kidout was then recognized to explain the Leuefits of section 3, and suid that in many instances the chancery records had been lost or mislaid and there is a difficulty in establishing the foundation of authority of trustees and executors. Therefore, a recital in the deed, if taken as prima facie evidence, would settle this difficulty. It changes the burden of proof in favor of the man in possession. Senator Faulkner ventured the suggestion that no court decisions could be found which would hold that a mere recital of a trusteeship would be accepted us a fact. cr Sebirra, C. F. Dromm, F. C. tres.

Raymond. Mr. Ridout and Mr. Dean both agreed, how- ever, that section 3 should be elimimated from the Dill if its presence endangered theremainder of the bill. Mr. Ridout then proceeded to discuss section 4 He said there is a great dealof land in the District which has never been improved. The adjacent strects have never been opened, and the owner ot the property would not know where to commence to improve. The owner may have paid taxes for many years, but the courts hold that in order to ‘hold’ adverse possession the owner must make absolute in- closure of bis property. Senator Faulkner was surprised at this state- ment and said he thought such @ decision was absurd. He asked Mr. Ridout to cite the de- cisions, and the gentleman did so. Senator Faulkuer made a note of the citation and said he would look it u; Mr. Ridout reiterated the statement that the courts require exclusive, notorious and con- tinuous possession. In reference to section six Mr. Ridout cited the case of one - ie clients who obtained a tax deed toa lot fifty years ago. The house on the lot has been there for forty years. ‘There is break in the title, however, and it cannot be quieted. Under the proposed sec- tion six steps could be taken to complete the title. _ Senator Higgins asked what effect this sec- tion would have upon the man who might have claim to the property. Mr. Ridout replied it would simply require him to come forth and establish lis claim, to present his proofs and bring the matter to settlement. ‘The section does not impair his rights; 1t only forbids his obstinately standing in the way to clearing the title. Senator Faulkner objected to constructive notice being given to the claimant. He advo- cated notice by personal service, and Mr. Ridout agreed with him, suggesting also service by United States marshals. Other sections of the bill were touched upon briefly and in- dorsed and the subcommittee adjourned. Mr. Dean submitted a printed brief from Mr. Mahlon Ashford in favor of the bill. Asubcommittee of the House District com- mittee also considered this bill today and will give a hearing to interested tomorrow morning at I : ———_---___. A Car Driver's Suit. Wm. F.

In the Criminal-Court, Justice Bradley, this morning Russell Colegrove was arraigned and plead not guilty to an indictment charging him with false pretenses and gave bail in $500 for his appearance, his‘father, Dr. James B.

It also charges that on April 23 last, by means of similar pretenses, with the additional one that Johnston Bad deposited 25,000 as security, he required of Addison Ashburn a it of $50 for security for his honesty as clerk, which was paid him, and all say that my tendency will ba to. favor its pas- sage. When I am better acquainted with the measure I may become more enthusiastic.” ‘My leanings ure favorable to the bill,” Senator Pasco. “I have vot read it and not, consequently, be very precise in my utter- ances, but it seems to me, from what you say, that I shall support it.” Senator Brice had not seen the bill, but after asking a few pertinent questions on the subject said that the probabilities were that he would favor the measure. + PARLIAMENT OPENED, Reading the Queen’s Speech From the Throne—McCarthyites Confer. Loxpox. Feb. 9.—The bustle and . excite- ment in the British political world reached « climax this morning, for parliament was opened today. Unwonted excitement was no- ticed in the vicinity of Westminster. Addi- tional police took their stations in the patace yard and a posse of constables was detailed side the building to hold the sacred legisla- tive chamber against all those who could not give the countersign “M. P.” after their names. Tho members began assembling as carly as 8 o'clock with tho object of securing the seats they desired to hold. All o'clock a detachment of “Beef Eaters” arrived from the Tower of London. Headed by a sergeant they made a search of the vaults of Westminster Hall, a custom that has pre- vailed at the opening of every session since the discovery of the Guy Fawkes plot to destroy “the houses of parliament. The interest of the ariatocrata, especially the sporting class, centored in the house of lords, where the earl of Dudley, noted for his skill as a gentleman rider, has been selected to make his maiden parliamentary effort by moving the address in reply to the queen’s speech. At2o’clock there was a fair sprinkling of members in the house, though ministers and ex-ministers were, as @ body, conspicuous by their absence, There was a general buzz of conversation until Blackrod, with all the para- plernalia of office, stalked up the floor of, the ouve and, addressing the speaker, called “her majesty’s faithful commoners to the bar of the house of lords to hear her majesty's most gracious speech read.” Immediately there wasa scramble and helter- skelter the commoners rushed to the lords, where, standing by the wool sack near the throne, the lord chancellor, in @ cold, unsym- athetie voice, read the queen's speech as fol- lows: ‘THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. My lords and gentlemen: I am persuaded that you have deeply participated in the ter- rible sorrow which has afflicted me and my family in the loss, at a moment when the pros- pects of his life’ appeared the happiest, of my dearly beloved grandson, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence ‘and Avondale. It has been a solace to us in our grief to have received from all classes and conditions of my subjects from all parts of the empire, as wel as from foreign countries, most touching assur- ances of deep sympathy under our grievous affliction and the expression of their affection ate regard and appreciation for the dear young prince whom they have lost by this great cal- ‘amity. FRIENDLY FOREIGN RELATIONS. My relations with other powers continue friendly. Ihave lost, in the viceroy of Egypt, a loyal ally whose wise government had in the space of few years largely con- tributed to restore prosperity and peace to his country. I have entire confidence that the same sagacious policy will be followed by his son, who has been named his successor, in accordance with previous tirmans, by his imperial majesty, the sultan. An agreement has been concluded with the United’ States defining. the mode in which the disputes as to the seal fisheri shall be referred:to arbitration. Zanzibar has been established as a free port by the sultan. with my concurrence. I trust this measure will conduce both to the develop- ment of the sultan’s dominion and to the pro- motion of British commerce on the east African coast. » Gentlemen of the house of commons, the ostimates for public service of the eusuing year will be Jaid before you. They have been prepared with due regard to financial econ- omy. in Bering sea THE IRISH QUESTION, My lords and gentlemen: Proposals willbe laid before you for applying to Ircland the general principles affecting local —_gov- ernment which have alrendy —_ been adopted in Great Britain. I trust it may be possible to consider provisions as to English local government, which, for want Of time, it was necess:ry to omit from the bill. Measures for increasing the number of small holdings of laud in agricultural districts in Great Britain will be submitted for spproval. You will be asked to consider a bill for extend- ing the advantages of assisted Ciucation to Ire- land for other purposes connected with ele- mentary education in that country. A scheme for modifying the existing system of procedure on private Dilly, so iar as it affects Scotland and Ireland, will be brought before you. Amensure will be introduced for the im- provement of legislative councils in India. PUBLIC BCUOOLS. A bill will be laid before you for relieving public elementary schoois in England from the Present pressure of local rates, Proposals for improving the discipline of the established church,in regard to moral offenses, for enabling accused persons to be cx. amined on their trial, for revising the existing! agrecments between the gov- ernment aud the Bank of Englaud and for amending the law with respect to the lia- bility of employers for injuries incurred in their employment will also ‘be commended to your attention, Ipray that Almighty God may guide you in the performance of your weighty functions. GALLERIES aLMOST DESERTED. In tho house of lords itself there were avery few peers and the galleries were almost de- serted, whereas had the queen herself opened rliament the building —would Seve been one brilliant’ thaas of uniforms and gaily dressed ladies, Toda; all was cold and repellant. Directly the speech had been concluded the commoners rushed back to their old domicile, when the sitting was formally adjoursed-until 4 p.m. for the ‘these representations were false. —_————— he ‘Wants Damages for Her Injuries.

Duncan in Stiegerwald’s 6a- Joon on North Eutaw street. Duncan is a horse dealer. ‘They quarreled about a piece of prop- erty. Goodman and some witnesses of the shooting were arrested. All are known as members of the ‘Eutaw street gang,” a tough Jot. Goodman claims that the shooting of Duncan was done in self-defense. Goodman has figured before in shooting affairs. Goodman has suffered for some time from a stroke of paralysis. He has bis friends, who insist that he never assailed any one until tirst attacked. He was sentenced in 1875 to two ears in the penitentiary for committing a vio~ lent assault upon the gatekeeper of the Cam- den station. While serving his term be was pardoned by the governor on condition that he would leave the state. He came to Washington and was not here long before he got into a shooting affray with Lem Weedon. ‘This occurred in front of the city hall ang both men were very badly wounded. They were taken to the hospital and were put under surveillance. Goodman, in his usual dare-devil manner, managed to make his escape and went to Cincinnati. He was arrested there at the instance of the Washington authorities and an officer was sent on to bring him back. When near Boyd’s sta- tion, just outside of Washington (it was night), Goodman managed to elude his captors and, opening the window, sprang from the car. The train was crossing a’ trestle and Goodman fell into a shallow creek, a distance of seventy or more fect. Almost every bone in his body was broken from the fall. He was sent to the hos- pital in Washington. where he lay encased in plaster for nearly a year. His Inst escapade before the present one was his attempting to shoot his wife several years ago at their home on Columbia avenue, Baltimore, in a conten- tion over a child adopted by them. ‘Transfers of Keal Estate.
