That editorial presents the con- servative opinion of the community. In com- ton with many other members of the bar, the undersigned has a preference as between the two principal measures now urged: but he agrees with Tux Sran in the view that there ought to be harmony and adjustment, if possi- ble, of these variant contentions before the Rext meeting of the judiciary committee. in order that the bar may make « united effort before Congress ia behalf of the community, the bench and the bar.

Halley was elected chairman and James McKee of Surratt’s dis- trict, Md., was chosen secretary. Chairman Halley declared the aims of the meeting to be the strengthening of the South Capitol Street Bridge Association in its effort to secure a fed- eral survey for a bridge between South Wash- ington and the oppowte shore. This support was to bo given the bridge association by's pe- tition to Congress from the farmers and truck- ers of the District south of the Eastern Branch of the Potomac aud the residents of South Washington.

Yesterday the horse attached to a feed wagon belonging to L. 8. Depue became frightened on id street near N and started to run away. The driver, Geo.

As published in Tae Star » few weeks ago a committee was formed for the purpose of re- cetving, quartering andfentertaining the visiting | members of the Sons of Veterans in August. This action was taken at that time by a majority of the Sons of Veterans camps of this city, and the committee last night proceeded to perma- nently organize and elect permanent officers. Msj. E.

It was resolved to ask the hearty co-operation of any and all veterans’ sons af well assonsof veterans. The work ahead of the committee is, or will be Inter on, FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS. Those people who have been cheating’ the itan and Columbia street railway com- panies by riding down town’ and home again for a single fare are going to cause honest peo- ple more than alittle inconvenience. When the Metropolitan company made transfer ar- rangements with the Columbia at 9th and 14th and New York avenue both companies expected to have their pockets filched of a fow nickels by unprincipled passengers, and they were willing to permit trifling irregularity. The irregularity is no longer a little matter, and that is why steps are about to be taken to pre- vent fraud. The scheme, which was worked principally by women, was a simple om ‘assengers from the north would transfer at %h and F streets, make whatever purchases they could within the time allowed by the trans- fer. and then proceed over the F street line to Iéth and New York avenue. ‘There they would transfer to the Columbia and at 9th and New York avenue they secured another transfer, which took them out 9th street. The same plan, varying the route, was followed by pas- sengers from the west end and those from the eastern ond of the Columbiaroad. Last month the companies spotted 6,000 fraudulent trans- fors. dishonesty will be checked within afew days,” said President Pearson of the Metropolitan company to a Stan reporter. pi tates an IN AND OUT DOOR SPORTS, Interest in the Fight Tonight. ‘The Fitzsimmons-Maher fightin New Orleans is beginning to assume a somewhat sectional aspect.

Late in the evening it was given out that Tony Sage had sent a telegram from Dub- lin to a prominent firm of local sports, author- izing them to place £4,000 on Maher.

Charley Mitchell has managed in his few weeks of train- ing to work off some of his surplus flesh and will make it lively for big Felix Vaquelin, who, ince his training experience with Fitzsimmons, is becomfhg looked upon as somewhat danger- ous.

For this the league agrees to pay $1,000. for each player taken from class A or the clubs in the eastern and Western associations. The league and the latter associations pay 500 for players for such of the minor league as wish to come into the agreement, The fee which each club is to pay for the privileges of the clause is $150 in class A and 875 in class B. Smeltz of the Western League telegraphed Mr. Williams that the difficulty which had kept Toledo out of the league had been settied. Discussion bearing upon the New York club's claim to Richardson waxed so warm that it was thought advisablo to adjourn and take it up today. This was ac- cordingly done.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Two or threo items appearing in your col- umns with reference to the government school teacher, Charles H. Edwards, in Alaska, have fallen under my notice, and Iam constrained to make answer tothe communication signed Emory M. Foster. ‘The difficulty in Alaska is that the govern- ment is, for the most part, in the hands of those who sympathize with evil doing. In secking to excuse Commissioner Rogers for ex- onerating the slayer of Edwards by ruling that as the latter was not a “‘peace officer” he was guilty of an act of piracy, Mr. Foster sees fit to strengthen his case by referring to Edwards as « missionary, and says ‘the United States commissioner at Sitka has no power to atea government official cut of an Alaskan missionary Beyond all question Mr Foster knew thet Edwards was not in Alaska asa mi but as a duly commissioned government school teucher. Furthermore, he was the only white man at the settlement of Kake, and besides that was sent there by the government as its repre- sentative te care for and protect and educate | the natives. Under the circumstances he would have ren- dered himself liable te a charge of cowardice and would have betrayed the trust reposed in him by the government bad he stood idly by and permitted those men todebauch the natives under bis care with their whisky.

If the United States Supreme Court could. jus- tify the use of greenbucks as corrency under the view that it was a war measure surely it would not have been very wroug for Mr. Com- missioner Rogers to have held that Edwards was, constructively, a peace officer ‘The administration of justice (?) in Alaska is responsible for the death of Edwards Case after case has arisen in which effort has been made by those who wished to see the laws up- held to punish evil doers and in which their efforts have been made to work to their own injury and to the exonera- tion of the violators of the law.

Within the next two.or three days a number Of the residents of this city will receive com- munications from Postmaster Sherwood to which the postmaster hopes especial attentio will be paid. An experiment of more thana little importance is aboat to be made, and whatever success or failure it meets with will be due very largely to the persons who volun- tarily nid in the experiment. The circular which will be sent out to residents on cer- tain postal delivery routes has been heretofore referred to in Tx Stan. It reads as follows: fa‘The Postmaser General has selected St Louis, Mo., and Washington, D, O., as cities in which practical tests of the house delivery and collection boxes recommended by the commis- sion are tobe made. The proprietors of two of the boxes included in those recommended for adoption have signified their intention to furnish to the bouselolders on the routes selected for the tests free of charge and asa gift outright the boxes necessary to demon- strate their merit. “Your residence’is located on one of the routes selected for this test. I would be glad to have ri callat this office that you may see the oxes and have explained the service which it is proposed to extend. If you cannot conve- niently do #o, if you will notify me of the fact, and will indicate at what time the representa- tive of the box may call at your residence or lace of business, he will do eo, and fully in- jorm you on the matter. “Iam anxious to have these tests fully and satisfactorily made, as it will, I am convinced, secure to our citizens a more rapid delivery, and a collection service which will make it unnecessary to leave the house during the day in order to post mail.” WHAT IT 18 PROPOSED TO Do. Replies to this circular will be looked for with some interest by the authorities. Post- master Sherwood is desirous of having every recipient of an invitation call at the post office and see just how the boxes are expected to work. Of course no box can be adjusted to a door unless the householder is willing, but if the experience of the department in St. Louis amounts to anything it would seem as though there were really no objectors. Theso experi- mental boxes fit in the front doors and are 60 constructed that the householder need not go outside to mail letters and cannot keep the carrier waiting while he is engaged in the work of delivery. ‘The box as viewed from the street resembles a handsome door- plate and it may be used as such. When ‘8 carrier has letters to deliver at a house which is provided with one of theso boxes he will drop the mail into the slot and it will be visible from the inside of the door. Should there be mail to collect the carrier will be made aware of the fact by the appearance on the front of the box of a bright red disk. If this signal is out the carrier will open the outer box and the con- tents of that compartment will fall into his hand. ‘The adoption of this system would compel carriers to watch every box for the sig- nal whether there were letters to be delivered at each house or not. It is not proposed to col- lect from these boxes more frequently than de- liveries are now made in that district. If the carrier is accustomed to making three calls a day he will not increase the number of his visite simply because the doors on his route are decorated with handsome letter boxes; early and late collections will continue tobe made from the lamp-post boxes. The experiment will probably be continued over a considerable period of time, but whether it succeeds or fails the boxes which are to be distributed to the Persons to whom circulars are sent will belong only to those individu: The proposed sys- ages D..C,.~ WEDNESDAY, The Merry Season Appropriately Ended at ‘New Orleans.

The New York Herald this morning presented atimely and highly interesting table showing what are the presidential preferences of the democracy in the various states. The table has been carefully and accurately prepared on the supposition that 900 delegates will be ad- mitted to the Chicago convention under the new apportionment. It is supported by inter- views with well posted democrats from each one of the state and terrRories, on whose judg- ment the expressed probability as to how the respective delegations will vote are based. The table shows that Mr. Hill leads Mr. Cleveland but very little at the present time, and that the mass of the democracy is looking to 4 e west for a man to lead them to victory. figures ar Hil, Cleveian tem is said to have many excellences, and it is generally understood that not the least of these is the proposition to gratuitously di tribute a number of useful and orzamental letter boxer Two varieties of boxes will be used in the experiment—the Mitchell & Cushing and the Taylor. : ‘The routes selected as the test, covering the areas indicated in the accompanying map, aro as follow THE MITCHELH AND CUSHING BOX, 8th street from No. 803 to No. 925; from No. 822 to No. 938. 9th street from No. 801 to No. 935; from No. 804 to No. 930. 10th street from No. 903 to No. 1013; from No. 904 to No. 1016.

S. Boston would powsibly be called upon to go to an island off the west coast of Mexico to pick up the crew of an abandoned vessel supposed to be there. The | Boston is now on her way from Callao to San | Francisco, and on her arrival at Panama she | will probably be met with a telegram ordering | her to atop at the Island of Socorra to see if perchance there may not be there a band of shipwrecked eailors, who, if they are there, have probably given up all hope of ever being rescued. Among Secretary Tracy's callers yesterday | was a Mr. Leavitt, who is a part owner of the American brig Tahiti that was lost with all on board about September: 20 last. He stated to the Secretary that there was a possibility thet the crew of ‘the brig may have excaped and | found refuge on the Island of Socorra, one of a group of islands « couple of hundred miles off the coast. The way he camo to this conclusion was rather an interesting one. Some time after the date on which the Tabiti is thought to have been lost an unknown vessel was sighted, bottom up, near the coast, and soon after a vessel, sup) to be the same one, and known to be the Tahiti, was seen stili nearer the coast. Mr. Leavitt on the supposition that it was the same vessel and moving «long at about the some speed decided that she must have been near the Island of Socorra when she was cay sized on September 20. It was known that abandoned hulk was without boats and it is thought that the crow may bave made their way to the island, which is a high one and visi- ble at some distance. The island is said to be rich in turtles and wild goats, enough to sup- port life at any rate. ‘Mr. Leavitt's brother, who was formerly @ consul at one of the Central American ports, was on board the Tahiti when she capsized. The island is but little out of tho Boston's path home ta San Francisco, and it was stated at the department today that she would probably bo told to stop on chance of rescuing this band of Robirson Crusces. ‘The Death Record. During the twenty-four hours ending at noon today burial permits were issued from the health office for the following: White—Elizabeth Thwaites, 49 years, heart disease; LN. Singleton, 85 years, apoplexy; Elizabeth Costelle, 28 years, pulmonary eon gestion; Wm. H. Sciders, 20. years, cerebral congestion; Lilian Waggaiman, 4 Colored—Mary A. Stewart, 59 testinal catarrh; monia; Wm. Some western ipa...” : ‘350 An analysis of the table reveals that Mr. Cleveland seems to be the choice of fifteen states. They are California, Connecticut, Del- aware, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, hode Isiand, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virgi and Wisconsin. Twelve of these states are re- publican and only three are democratic. Senator Hill is the choice of ten states. They are Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Mion Jersey, New York, Pennsyl- vania, South Carolina and Texas. Seven are democratic and three republican. This shows unmistakably that in the states where the democratic sentiment predominates Hill is stronger than Cleveland. But the real choice of the democracy isshown in sixteen states. ‘They want a western man and are: Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North’ Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming. Eight are democratic and eight republican. ‘Their 350 delegates, standing solid for a western man and representing over one-third of the convention against the other two-thirds hopelessly divided, will probably have a great effect in shaping the convention's action. It will be noticed that three states have been passed over. ‘They are Alabama, Louisianaand Oregon. Their delegations at present are, it is said, likely to be divided between Hill and Cleveland. With the sentiment so strong for a western candidate, the possibilities in that direction are worthy of note. It is significant that the west has sy far presented four candidates—Gov. Boies of Iowa, Senator Palmer of Illinois, ex- Gov. Gray of ‘Indiana and ex-Postmaster Gen- eral Don Dickinson of Michigan. ‘The strong- est of these are Boies and Palmer and of the two Boies seems to have the This i chiefly due to his free silver aftiliations. Pal- mer, on the other hand, has openly declared against the free coinage.of silver and the effect of this will be to greatly neutralize hischances. A favorite ticket in the west would seem to be Boies of iowa and Russell of Massachusetts. soo MARIE NEVINS’ LETTERS, Secretary Blaine Given Ten Days to Print ‘Them in Fall. Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine has furnished to the press an open letter to Secretary Biaine in which she denies the charge that she led his son unresisting to the altar. After saying that she was well aware that she was unable to cope with the Secretary in a personal encounter she, however, expected the considerate and honor- able treatment which his keen sense of fair- ness would dictate. She then says: Have the kindness to publish in connection with your statement the full text of the letters. you ave quoted fromyand du notlikes shrewd and unpeinclpled person, Seioct only such'paxes as inay be needed to make out & fave, but sive theentire contents to the publie, that they: may be judged richteot You have the docu. nents, surely, else you could nut quote from thei.

It contemplates a building on the lake front between Madison and Washington streets 400 by 250 feet in size. It will have a stage for the accommodation of 300 prominent people. In front of that the platform for the officers of the conveution, infront of that tables for the official stenographers and on cach side of these accommodations for 150 newspaper men. On the main floor will be seats for.thedele- gates and surrounding them, in amphitheater form, will be seats for 12,000 spectatars. In addition to this, above and beyond it, will be two public galleries. The estimated cost of the structure is €24,000. It was in contempla- tion to build an oblong structure, but these plans provide for a rectangular one. W. W. Holden of North Carolina Déad. Ex-Gov. William W. Holden died at Raicig!
