SPIER. tertainment of the delegates were made by the executive committee of the Columbia Turn | Verein, Mr. G. W. Spier, chairman, and the | citizens’ reception committee, Mr. Charles Walter, chai The fundamental principle of the Turnerbund is educational, a recognition of the old Grecian | aud Roman saying: “Mens sana in corpore | sound mind in a sound, healthy body), | provided body and mind are jointly and sys tematically developed. As an educational or- | gunization every turn verein (gymnastic asto- | ciation) in the country maintains a school where children of both sexes receive a systematic course of physical culture under the super-| vision of trained teachers, graduates of the | | “Turnteachers’ Seminary’ in Milwaukee, an in- | stitution maintained at the expense of the Tur- nerbund, the federal organization. Within the past yeat the Turnerbund has erected a new | teminary building in Milwaukee at an expense of $30,000, exclusive of the ground, which was donated for the purpore by two public-spirited | ladies. This seminary is connected with the erman-American ‘Teachers’ Seminary" of Milwaukee. the grounds and building of which are likewise the munificent gift of the same two ladies, the Mesdames Pfister and Vogel. The | object in connecting the two institutions is to give the graduating teachers a thorough course | jin both the mental and physical training of | children. | Asa result of this practical course of train- ing and the untiring efforts of the turn vereins throughout the country a system of calisthenics and gymnastics has ‘already been introduced into the public schools of a number of our west- ern cities, notably Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Lonis, &c., and the Turnerbund will not cease its efforts until every public school in every and village of the country devotes at least one hour a day to physical culture under the supervision of competent teachers. “ TOTAL MEMBERSUIP. The Turnerbund at present has about 308 vereins (associations), divided into thirty-four | districts, with a total membership of over 40,000. At the national conventions (held every two years) every turn verein is entitled to one | delegate for every hundred members, so that | about 400 delegates are ex; to be present the coming convention in Washington.

Last evening about 9:00 between 75 and 100 local sports left the vicinity of the Bal- timore and Ohio station in a big six-horse con- veyance and, followed by a procession of cabs The arrangements for the convention and en-| and other vehicles, drove over the new Eastern branch bridge to the woods near Suterville, just outside the District Jine. The object of their journey was to witness a glove contest between Messrs, Cartwright and “Frenchy” Osborne, two shining lights in local pug@istio circles. ‘Arriving at the spot selected the ring dand_ the principals ready. Mr. Cart- wright weighed 130 pounds and stood five feet eight inches, while Mr. Osborne was found to be three and a half pounds lighter and two inches shorter. ‘The first gentleman aj in better condition than his rival_and had the advantage of alonger reach. The following officiated at the ring side: Referee, George Northridge; timekeeper, “Charlie” Burns; sec- onds—for Mr. Osborne, “Bill” Northridge, and for Mr. Cartwright, “Jim” O'Connor. ‘The fight was announced to be one of ten rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules, with four ounce gloves, for the gate receipts. | Cart- wright was the favorite at 2 and 3 to 1, and took but #ix rounds to convince Mr. Osborne that he had made the mistake of his life, although the latter endeavored by fast and furious fighting | to remove the prevailing impression that he was not in it. Osborne continned his laudable efforts to remove the impression until a stiff right hander on the neck in the sixth round made the remaining four entirely unnecessary. pagers MANUAL TRAINE A Creditable Exhibition by the Colored School Pupils. ‘The parents and friends of the pupils in the manual training schools of the colored public schools saw an interesting exhibit yesterday of the work of the pupils at the Miller building on N street between 6th and 7th streets.

There Will Be Changes in the Event of Mr. Harrison's Re-election. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Gaaxp Rapips, Micu., June 17, 1892. ‘The renomination of President Harrison will have an interesting bearing upon state politica, Senator Jas, McMillan, who is also chairman of the state central committee, used all hia in- fluence against Harrison, not only in Minneapo- lis last week, but in the state and district con- ventions in the election of delegates. Senator F. B. Stockbridge was also arrayed against the President, and in Minneapolis his voice was heard in the chorus of anything to beat Ben, During the past three years the federal patron- ‘age in Michigan has been distributed through the two Senators. If Harrison is re-elected toc of patronage wil go. glimmering.» Prac- utors 0 Hcally the only ‘friend “thet Harrison had tn Michigan in the early stage of the canvasa wns ex-Senator Thomas Palmer of Detroit, resident of the world’s fair and ex-minister to Spain. In all the district conventions to elect delegates the MeDillan and Stockbridge ele- ments and the lonely followers of Gen. Alger came out strong, and in every quarter Harrison was downed. In the state convention a hot fight occurred over the election of delegates-at- . with McMillan, Stockbridge and Alger leading the opposition, and Palmer, almost alone, working for the President.’ It was through Palmer's influence, hard work and energy that received seven votes from Michigan in the national convention, and the first and most important this was the retirement of Alger from the race because of his inability to command a solid backing in his own state. If Harrison is re-elected the man of influence in Michigan will be Thos. W. Palmer. It will be Pulmer’s friends who will get the good things and to Palmer will Harrison go when he wants advice in making Michigan appointments, and the two Senators, providing Stockbridge is re- elected, will rot be consulted to any veryalarm- ing extent. This situation of. Mg ae ; — an important upon the state electi Stockbridge and. MeMilan are both ‘backing John T. Rich for the gubernatorial nomination, while Palmer's candidate is Hazen 8. Pingree of Detroit. Up to the Minneapolis convention Pingree’s chances were looked upon as decidedly dubfous, but the nominatign of Harrison puts @ different aspect upon the case. If Palmer is to be the cock of the Michigan walk for four years to come, the hander about of fat offices and the distribution of patronage itis important for those who seek political favors to stand in with ‘The brethren are already realizing this and already Pingree’s boom is considerably larger than it was and is steadily growi republican state convention will be Saginaw on Jtly 20, and Pingrce’s friends are becoming more hopeful with each passing day. ‘The renomination of Harrison was not re- ceived in Michigan with any overwhelming out- burst of joy. The state was strongly tinctured with the Blaine sentiment and his nomination was desired. Harrison's renomination acted a awet blanket, but the republicans claim that the chilly sensation will wear off before the summer is over and that Michigan will, as republican, although the electoral usual, 0 vote , if the Miner law is sustained in the state supreme court, be divided posi Nessa eanti D) TELEPHONE WIRES. UNDERGROU: ‘The Chesapeake and Potomac Company Claims the Right to Extend Its Lines, The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company appeared before the District Comis- sioners yesterday and called their attention to the fact that an act of Congress approved two years ago permitted the company to lay twenty | miles of underground wire. By an act of March, 1891, the Commissioners were directed to prevent the construction of more than five miles of sub wires for telephone service until April 1 Inst, unless Congress should first pass some general law on the subject of underground conduits, bused upon the report ot the electrical inspector. ‘Congress having failed to pass such a law the company contended that the five-mile limitation had expired, both in fact and in spirit, and that their permit had thereby been revived. The company informed the Commissioners that they had under the old permit made extensive ar- Tangements with a view of establishing a gen- eral underground system; that its main lines have been constructed in’ different directions, and that unless connecting lines can be laid and. they be aliowed to complete the system as con- templated they will lose the money invested in official opinion the building the main lines, Without expressing sny Commissioners referred the matter to the attor- ney for the District for his opinion. > B. MOSES’ ESTATE. wM. Two Applications for Letters of Adi tration Filed in the Probate Court. Yesterday in the Probate Court in the matter of the estate of the Inte Wm. B. Moses two ap- plications for letters of administration were filed, one by the widow, Rebecca J. Moses, and one by the oldest son, W. H. Moses, and cita- tion was issued to the heirs to show cause why the petition of the last named should not be granted. The petition of Mrs, Moses, pre- sented by Mr. E. B. Hay, sets forth the heirs and the fact that he left no will and represents the personal property to be worth $50,000. The petition of W. B. Moses is filed by Messrs, Cole & Cole and states that he is the junior member of the firm, having bepn associated with his father for eleven years; that he is en- titled to one-fourth of the profits of the busi- ness and is a creditor for $50,000. He states that the stock of goods is worth 20,000, that there is due the firm $70,000 in good ‘accounts and over $140,000 on deposit in bonds. ALEXANDRIA. , inis- ‘THE NEW ROUTES OF TRAFFIC. The use of King street by the single track railway of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railroad Company will necessarily make some ehange in the use of that street, which is only thirty-eight feet between curbs. ‘Alexandria Street Railway Company, which had two tracks on King street, with thelr abortive en! , was & horse-cat company and there was then no_ serious inter- ference with trans] said that an electric road, whether trolley or motor, cannot easily worked with- out danger to horses in close con- tiguity. “On this account it is now to a new route from the Fiverside uptown. From the sauth side of street Prince street will afford such a route, but as Cameron street has three hills in six blocks it cannot be used with convenience, and it may be that a route further north will have to be found. : NEW ALEXANDRIA.

If the report made yesterday by the House committee on reform in the civil service was materialized then Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt would be sitting heavily upon the | prostrate form of Postmaster General Wana- | maker. The report is signed only by the dem- | ocrats on the committee, the republican mem- | | bers having concluded that they had better keep their fingers out of a contest in which one | of two republicans was sure to be worsted. =| It was that Baltimore post office case which | | provided the committee with material for the the neront. Says the committee: From subsequent state- | ments of the Postmaster General it appears | that he did not dismiss the parties charged with violation of the law on the following inconsist- | ent and contradictory grounds: | 1. That testimony of men given before the | ‘civil service commission was not fairly re- | , the examiners frequently answering | their questions and having the answers taken down as if given by the witnesses. The questions asked were leading, and the men were not allowed to explain or to have the assistance of counsel. 2. The men were not under oath, hence ac- | know! ents of guilt were not reliable and | P ly required corroboration. | paths mee made no acknowledgments of 4. The men denied under oath the acknowi- | ecigments they had made ‘The men did not violate the law. The con- | tributions proved to have been made were to ay the expeures. of «primary election, and refore not within the prohibition of the law, | and in this he says he is coufirmed by the opin: | ion of the assistant attorney general for the Post Office Department. 6. And finally, that the men being innocent | have been sufficiently punished by having | charges made against them. : It is singular that the Postmaster General | should have indorsed the idea that men charged | with violation of the civil service law were en- titled to notite before any inquiry as to their | guilt was entered upon and that they were en- | titled to the assistance of counsel in the investi- gation. The rule prescribing that any employe would practically destroy the authority of the removing officer. and render it necessary that the party accused should have been convicted under section 15 of the law before his re- moval could be effected. The rule is evidently a | provision entirely independent of section 15 | and established for the purpose of giving | prompt and efficient enforcement of the law removal of an employe under general rul No. 1 would not interfere with or prevent his prosecution or conviction ander section 15, to | which the objections of the Postmaster General | would be entirely applicable, it being clear that | @ party could not be convicted of the misde- meanor referred to in the act except on indict- | aS and presentment and by the verdict of a | jury. TESTIMONY TAKEN BY THE INSPECTORS The examination of the testimony taken by the inspectors, and upon which the Postmaster General claims to have acted, shows that neither their conclusions nor his are. supported | by the statement of the parties implicated. On | the contrary, the testimony reported by the in- spectors confirms and corroborates fully that taken by the civil service commission. Sub- | stantially the same facts admitted by the ies before the commission were sworn to before the inspectors and the severe stricture and criticisms which the inspectors passed on the work of Mr. Roosevelt in making the investiga- tion are not borne out by any facts stated by | the witnesses on their examination. The acceptance by the Postmaster General, rithout farther investigation or, inquiry, of the report of the inspectors, which, if proved, convicted the civil service’ commissioners of | the gronsest official misconduct and most dis-| honorable practices, is, to say the least, extra- ordinary. * *°* Had the Postmaster General been able to show that he had been advised by the Department of Justice that the law did not apply to contributions for political primaries. | orhad he frankly declared’ his belief. that the | men violated the law in ignorance of its pro- | visions, or that he was invested with a discre- tionary power not to execute the law, and had exercised his discretion in refusing to remove | these men, there might have been some excuse | for his failure to do so, but on the grounds stated by him his actions indicate either a de- termination not to enforce the law or negligence therein to the last degree, THE FINDIXG. We therefore find that the report of the civil service commission, recommending the removal of certain employes in the post office at Balti- more, was well founded; that the postmaster at Baltimore had not removed any of these parties, substantially by direction of the Postmaster General, and that the report of the inspectors, upon which they were retained, is a by the evidence taken by themselves and indi- cates either complete ignorance of the provis- ions of the civil service law or a determination that in this particular case their violations should not be panished. ee ee THE FIRST VICTIM. A Newsboy Arrested for Crying Papers Be- fore Seven O'clock in the Morning. The numerous complaints received by the police recently about needless noises at early morning hours has caused the officers to be on the lookout for offenders and the first victim was arrested this morning. The complaints | came from persons who are employed at night and who do not get to bed until late, as well as by those who do most of their sleeping during the cool of the morning. Joseph Payne, a small colored boy, was the first victim, He was selling newspapers early this morning and his cries disturbed Policeman Parker, who arrested him.

FLAGS ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ‘Two Will Be Thrown to the Breeze With Ap- propriate Ceremonies on Monday. ‘On Monday next, June 20, the various coun- ils of the Junior Order United American Me- chanics, assisted by the Senior Order United American Mechanics, will raise flags upon the Webster School building, 10th and H streets northwest, and the school building 28th and M streots northwest. The exercises will consist of presentation addresses by good speakers, prayer and singing of national airs by children and the order. The superintendents of the respective schools will accept in the name of the schools. The children, by saving their Pennies, nickels, dimes, &c., purchased flags, and the American Mechanics made and placed the poles upon the buildings. A delegation of some 500 or 600 of the com- mandery or uniformed rank of the order from Pittsburg and Allegheny on their way to the national council session, to be held at Atlantic City on the 2ist instant, will arrive at the B. and Q. depot about noon. They will be met by the local members of the order, wearin badges emblematic of the order. The line march will be from the depot to Pennsylvania avenue, to 15th, to Pennsylvania aven ‘here they will be reviewed by House, the President, cabinet and members of Con- gress. Then countermarch to 15th street.to H, to 10th, where the exercises will take place. visitors will proceed to the depot with a suitable escort and leave about 4 p.m. for At- lantic City, while the local members, with their band, ‘will proceed to West Washington, where the exercises will be the same as at the Webster building. It will be a glorious day for the children as well as for the order. The arrangements have been made from joint committces of the ten junior councils and the two senior councils. Mr. Geo. E. Howard, state councillor of Virginia, is chairman of the committee on reception, and Mr. E. W.

Probable Size of the Parade at the G. A. R. Encampment in September. Over 50,000 men wearing the badges of the Grand Army will march up Pennsylvania avo- | stra: Already | nue on the 2th of September next. quarters have been assigned in this city to over 40,000 men, and each day applications for quar- ters are coming in from posts in all parte of the country. It ix impossible to estimate the exact number of veterans who will be hero, but it is pretty safe to say that it will exceed the attendance at any previous encamp- ment. When it is considered that 40,000 repre- sents the total population of many cities thet are considered to be pretty large places it is easier to comprehend in some degree the epec- tacle that will be witnessed on the avenue on the day of the grand parade. THE LINE OF MARCH. The committee on parade and review, of which Gen. Ellis Spear is chairman, has practi- cally decided upon the line of march. The pro- cession will start from the Peace monument and in files of about men will sweep up the avenue to Washington Circle, where the parade will be dismissed. The different departments will take position in the line according to seniority of or- ganization, and will be massed about the Capi- tol ready to fall in line. At the White House .¢ procession wil ront of a if stand, occupied by the President and members of the cabinet. At some point between the White House and Washington Circle will be lo- cated a reviewing stand. to be occ’ by the commander-in-chief and officials of the Grand Army. HAVE APPLIED POR QUARTERS.
