OFF FOR DENVER. ‘The First Detachment of Knights Templar Left This Morning. A LARGE NUMBER AT THE STATION To SEE | Made to me it would seem that the republicans ‘THE PILGRIMS OFF—DE MOLAY AND WASHIXG- TON COMMANDERIES WILL Go TONIGHT—ALL ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR A PLEASANT TRIP. “Off for Denver!” was the cry at the Penn- sylvania depot this morning. Before 8 o'clock the Knights Templar pilgrims for Denver began to assemble at the depot. Some two or three hundred sir knights, their wives and daughters, representing the four commanderies located at the capital, will attend the triennial conclave which meets next Tuesday in Denver. Columbia and Potomac left this morning, De Molay will get away this evening and Washing- ton Commandery enters upon its journey to-| morrow morning. A BUSY SCENE AT THE DEPOT. ‘There was a busyscene this morning at the de- pot when the two commanderies were getting ready to leave. Thesir knights were dressed more for comfort in traveling than in accordance with the rules prescribed for uniforms. In fact the only distinctive feature was the fatigue cap, fitted with a storm cover. The swords of the — and their uniform cases formed a part | of the baggage of the party, which was burried by sections into the baggage car. Dr. Pettys of Columbia and Mr. Frank Barbarin of Poto- mac were looking after a good many details of the arrangements. The members of Columbia Commandery had been supplied with tags, which were placed on all pieces of baggage in- tended for the special train, which insured the proper disposition of the baggage upon its arrival at the train. When the seats in the sleepers had been drawn for and when the gates were opened at 8 o'clock the pilgrims and their friends were oceapied in finding their places and getting settled. The train was made up of | sleepers and what was called a commissary car. | All sorts of boxes, baskets and hampers were piled up in this car, and there the pilgrims will o when their inner man needs refreshment luring the long journey. The proportion of liquids to solids in this car was not stated by the commissary, but no doubt it will be found to De satisfactory whatever it is. THE CARS OCCUPIED BY THE PILGRIMS. The cars occupied by Potomac Command- ery were at the head of the train, as indicated by the generous strip of canvas drawn alcng the entire length of one car and bearing the in- scription, “Potomac Commandery.” The last part of ‘the train, where Columbia Com- mandery was located, was similarly embiazoned, and when the long train passes over the con nent the people will be duly notified that the Knights Templar of Washington are abroad. A large number of the friends of the pilgrims came down to the tram to see them off, and of course the train must be inspected. For five days this train will be the home of the travelers, then there will be an interval spent in Denver, | when again the train will be boarded and the return journey begun. The knights will get back on the 18th of August. The names of the entire party were printed in Saturday's Star. | Business will Me blended with pleasure, and during the trip the pilgrims will inspect some of the notable scenery of Colorado, and on the | return trip they will spend some hours in Chi- | cago. | DE MOLAY TO LEAVE TONIGHT.

The ex-president of Venezuela, Dr. Raimundo Andueza Palacio, is still in Paris accompanied | by his family and a few friends. He has been further interviewed at the Hotel Malesherbes, where he is stopping, in regard to his course in Venezuela. He said: “I have been most unjustly slandered by those who do not know me personally and are Dut ill-sequainted with my acts as president of Venezuela. Nearly all rulers of people have to dear a great deal of this, but in my case it has exceeded the measure. Ihave been put down asa man void of self-respect, viz, a drunkard, @gambler and a thief.

I will illustrate.

Senator Morgan Makes Some Remarks About Its Employment, EE REFERS TO THE MOB HERE SOME YEARS AGO AND IX THE DEBATE THERE 18 4 GooD DEAL SAID ABOUT THE DISTRICT OF COLUM- Bi, ‘The posse comitatus in the District of Colum- dia was discussed at some length in the Senate by Mz. Morgan in the debate on the resolution calling for the appointment of a select comtit- tee to investigate the employment of “armed bodies of men as detectives in connection with | the differences between workmen and em- Ployers.”* Senator Morgan thought the committee should attend to a more effective organization and employment of the posse comitatus in the District and the territories. He offered an amendment to that effect and supported it by saying that when law was violated the first ap- should be to, the people.

In fact, I never knew before what a powerful political | fnence is wielded by a few men in each state and who are willing to exert that influence in return for small political favors which I should think would be beneath the notice of men of uch prominent standing.” ‘The Secretary turned to hia hearers filed sadly out, ruminai things so passing strange. cae ‘The President's Congratulations. ‘The following cable messages were exchanged yesterday: pers and_ his upon these La Rasa.

Joseph Jefferson has arrived at his home on Buzzard’s bay from his fishing trip to New Brunswick. As president of the Old Colony Club he will take an active interest in the forth- coming dinner at the club at Falmouth. The report has been circulated that this dinner was “You can see for yourself that although I live | From the Chicago with comfort i " int this hotel, there is none of the superfluous luxury that distinguishes the resi dence of a millionaire, as has been the case with the ta taken by other South American ts who have come to Parts. “Iam about to add a few remarks tomy manifesto, and I sball have it pub- lished as a it for the benefit of ferring as & pamphie' my serve in the posse comitatus fora year. You | take them in before your courts here in the Dis- | trict of Columbia, and you administer to each one an oath that he will maintain and support | the laws of the United States and of the Dis- | trict of Columbia, and that he will be obedient | to all lawful authority. Without amplifying the plan of the oath, I mern to make it broad enough to cover all the duties to be performed by each man in subordination to those who have the right to order him out and control | him for the given length of time during which he remains enrolled upon the posse comitatus. “Now, any citizen who refuses to obey the lawful order af one of these men wearing a badge, if you please, is liable to indictment for such refusal. Any man who refuses to assist | him in the administration of the law and in the protection of property or life is Itable to ment. After the affair has blown over and quietude has resumed its sway in the com- munity, the courts of justice will take hold of the men who have refused to obey the lawful commands of these sworn and selected mem- bers of the posse comitatus, thia body of the people, and will punish them for their delin- eney. There would not be many repetitions of t sort of trouble in the country after a few punishments had been administered, No CITIZEN TO BE EXEMPT. “Mr. President, my point is to prevent the oc- currence of these difficulties, Now, I will go to a town like Homestead; I will organize a simi- lar posse there, putting in “as many men as the court may think necessary for the protection of the peace of that community, those men being , required to serve a year or six months or two years, or whatever time the law fixes. ‘Those ‘men are selected from all classes of the commn- ity. ‘The preacher is not exempt because he must occupy his-pulpit on Sunday, or the law- yer becaure he must be at the bar, or the judge yeause he must be on the bench, or the artisan because he must be pursuing his vocation, or the negro because he may be a bumble, an un- | gainly, or even an indecent man, or any other ntil the court, after looking over the in- | jdual and proposing to administer the oath to him, became satisfied that he was not a proper | member of the posse comitatus, “When these propositions for strikes and, lockouts and the deflance of law occur in's community of that kind, you will find that these sworn members of the posse comitatus are | seattered, sandwiched, all through the commnu- nity inevery direction. ‘They debate the ques- tion among themselves. Those not members of the posse comitatus will ray: ‘We cannot do this thing; we cannot violate the plain law of | the land, for the reason that our brothers, our | comrades, men associated with usin the daily | business of life, our fathers, are liable to suffer | in consequence ofthe fact that they have been selected from the body of the people and. have been made agents and officers of the law for | the preservation of the peace. ‘They have taken solemn oaths that they will do it, and we cannot put them into the difficulty and con-| straint of a possible violation of a solemn oath | and of a high public duty merely because we | desire and think it is best to organize for the | purpose of taking property away from # par- Fealer company or holding it against their law- ful right to it.’ AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION. “By the process which I thus in outline merely suggest to this honorable committee wien it shall be raised you infuse into the body of the | people themselves, through the fact that they | are selected and sworn to Preserve the pence | and to maintain the law, a degree of conserva- | tism which will te to prevent the occur- rence of these things. In this case, Mr. Pre dent, an ounce of prevention is certainly worth @ pound of eure. “I remember very well when Dennis Kearney was cutting up his immense antics in California | in the sand lots, overturning society, the legis- | ture, statute books and Constitution, really de stroying the integrity and the autonomy of a | great state. I remember that in different com- munities in the United States organizations im mediately sprang up of a similar character for the purpose of taking into the hands of the mob the ideas and plans that Dennis Kearney had projected for the purpose of controlling the people of California. A MOB IN THIS CITY. “T recollect I was a newcomer here, having just been elected to the Senate, and I saw a mob for four days in the city of Washington, com- posed variously of from 5,000 to 12.000 loose men, men of all and conditions except | respectable men, and some few fanatical men who were respectable werg in these mobs. They marched about somewhat in military array. Some of them had arms and some had none. | They had bands of music and flagy; they did not seem | to have any definite purpose in view except to hold together and produce a powerful impres- sion upon the community; they were led by a Jew by the name of Cohen, a most remarkable position for a Hebrew to be in under such cir- cumstances; they wentout into the grovesaround | Washington in the daytime and in. the night time, it being in the summer season, and en- camped there; they came into the city and went to the grocers and provision men and levied contributions upon them, which they did not dare to resist; the grocery stores of this town had to be opened to feed the mob; they stayed together. paused resolutions and made’ inflam- matory speeches for four or five days continu- ously, and after awhile they dissolved and dis- appeared. WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPEXED. “Tcould not help thinking at that ting that this was comparatively a small community, there being at that time perhaps not more than 125,000 or 130,000 people in the District of Co- lumbia all told. We did not have more than two or three military companies of the United States army here at that time, and Ido not know that we have any more now. We did not have an Organized militia of the excellent qual- ity we have in the District of Columbia at this time. But we had among us the vital and ma- terial trusts of a great nation, and I could not resist the reflection, what would become of the United States government if a certain direction had been given to this mob; if under some cry of injustice, with their passions inflamed and their cepidity excited, they bad determined that the treasury of the United States was some- thing that was proper to be looted? My reflec- tions upon that subject became serious and I wanted to know then, and I ask the question | today, what could the’ District of Columbia do | in the muster of an organized posse comitatus here to prevent any raid against the treasury of the United States or any other institution in this town? What law have we? What organ- ized power have we? Who basa right to call my home at night and go out it or shred j of the commou law left here in the District of Columbia under which such a thing as that might be possible." ww? ‘Mr. Morgan—I am not aware of it if there is. I do not find the statute on the book. ‘Mr. Sherman—We have a marshal here. = ‘THE UNITED STATES MARSHAL THE MAX. Mr. Voorhees—I do not desire to interrupt the Senator from Alabama in the course of his .Femarks exceptto say that Ihave practiced law a foodmany years off and on in this District and ve always found an officer—they cali him marshal—exercising jy f sheriff in other places. Ihave never perceived any difference, any want of authority or any excess of authority over the ties else- where. would like If there is any distinction I should be very glad to know it. not out of any nr inter- est other than curiosity in the literature of this District. There are some legal curios- ities in this District, which it obtains by inher- itance from the old laws of Maryland, but Ido not think it will be found that the marshal’s office is substantially different from that of the sheriff's office. There are in'the District com- mitting magistrates, of course, as there are in | the counties of the states. ‘I do not know whether this assists or embarrasses the argu- ment the Senator from Alabama has been mak- ing: I have not had the pleasure of being able to listen to him. A POSSE NEVER SUMMONED HERE. Mr. Morgan—I think the posse comitatus has never been summoned in Wathington, ro that there is no object leseon by which we can prove or disprove anything in ofr history on that subject. I have raid that it may be possible there is some old rkred of common law left i here under which the marshal of the District might call out the posse comitatus in support of the execution of a process of law, but my argument is that that is incomplete and insuffi- cient; and while this committee are at work finding ont whether the law has been broken and violated by tho Pinkertons, being assembled under the pretext at least of sustaining it,is it not very well for them to make the further inquiry whether in the District of Columbia and in the territories laws are needed to be enacted whic shall organize the posee comitatus and put it upon an efficient footing, so that there shall be | no doubt atall abont the men who are com- missioned and charged by the law of the coun- try to take the responsibilities and duties of ing in the posse comitatus? I maintain, Mr. President, that in my own state and in every etate of the Union the law would be more ficiently complied with ifthe egislatures would take up this subject and or- ganize the posse comitatus and from year to | ¥ear preserve the organization. thereby we would devolve upo citizen the duty and responsibility of maint: ing the law, After a man had served one year on the posse and his neighbor had taken it for the next year and another the next, such a man would never forget that ho had’ at one time been a portion of the civil power of his own government, relied apon individnally and selected for the purpose of maintaining the majeSty and supremacy of the law. that RELY UPON THE HEANTS OF THE PEOFEE. If we will throw ourselves upon the hearts of -| the people for the maintenance of the laws we Here we are in are not going to be mis the District of ¢ esty and integri tho: millions of men who come here in the courre of ew years—we are relying upon their integ- upon their love of honest government, upon their devotion to their institntions for the maintenance and preservation of those things which are of incaleulable value to the people of the United States. We rely upon that and nothing else. When outbreakers come around, when men may assembie hore for the purpose of looting the treasury or anything like that, your public institutions of any kind, if you have that same reliance organized under law into an effective pose comitatus, then yon have rome- thing that is very much better than a police lected by a municipal government; better the militia organization called out by the mili- tary authority; better then the army United States, becanse it operates not merely @ force to preserve and maintain the law, but it operates as a civil organization for the purpose | ots of repressing wrong before it has started. I desired ‘mercly to call the attention of the committee to this «ubject, and also to ask the Senato to put on the amendment in order that they might direct their inquiry into this very interesting and very important subject. Of course I have not tried to elaborate it this morning, for I have not had time to do it, and 1 do not want to trespass upon the patience of the Senate in trying to do it. I have givena mere outline of the views which have impressed me and which for years have borne upon my mind as being important, for the purpose of getting a force in the United States which will operate to prevent these criminal organizations or illegal organizations, and also operate to re~ Press any ontbreak against the government. The amendment offered by Senator Morgan was agreed to and the committee, announced in Yesterday's Sraz, was appointed. Hawalian Ministry Sustained. During the session of the Hawaiian legisla- ture, July 21, Representative Wilcox brought up his want-of-confidence-in-the-ministry reso- | lation and moved that it be considered in com- mittee of the whole, #o that all might have a full opportunity to express their views on the matter.

The following comes from a high source in the Vatican: Considerable surprise has been caused here by an effort of Monsignor Corrigan to estab- lish the inexactness of one of the statements of the holy father in his recent letter to the bishops of the province of New York. After the consecration of the new bishop of Brook- lyn_ his grace of New York addressed a letter to the holy father, signed by himself and some | of his suffragans, saying that it had come to their knowledge that a threat had been made to his holiness that a culturkampf would break out in America if his holiness ventured to condemn the arrangements lately made for the schools situated in Faribault and Stillwater. In his re- ly the holy father stated distinctly that no- body ever made him euch a threat. Upon re- ceipt of this letter the archbishop of New York, in order to prove his point, collected a number of quotations from the memorial of the arch- bishop of St. Paul and from the detter of his eminence of Baltimore, that seemed to bear a different sense, and forwarded them to Rome, to the members of the Sacred College, wrapped up in separate copies of the letter of the pope, in order to show by contrast the mistake of holiness, _ But the quotations are not to the point, for in none of them does either his eminence of Baltimore nor his grace of St. Paul ever say to the pope that in America a culturkampf would follow the condemnation of the arrangements for the schools of Faribault and Stillwater. manner toa re- mote danger overhanging the church in America if certain false pretensions made there recently | ‘This is evident to at of reading the quo- were permitted to Krow. one having an opportuni | tations given by Mona, Corrigan in their own | place in their proper context. plainly absurd to any reflecting miud that in & country as wise and practical as America the condemnation by the pope of two small schools could prowke a culturkampf.

Hints as to the Outfit Needed by the Sum- mer Sportsman. From the Lewiston Evening Journal. Perhaps it will be of interest to those who intend to camp out to learn bow the hunter who treads the woods for profit, the trapper and the explorer camp and how a party of two can best fit out. With men who go into the woods on business the object is to carry as little as possible, and it is wonderful how little a man in the woods really needs. ‘Men who explore timber landain the winter put on a pair of snow shoes, and then on their backs carry bedding, cooking utensils, &c., and are neverloaded down. A small teapot, tea,ealt, pork, pepper and crackers, with a frying pan, one Dianket, a hatchet, compass and note book—all of which can be put into « half-bushel bag—a . An explorer can dig a feet of snow, abont the shape of a grave and eighteen inches deep, build a fire on the lee side of it, and then wrapping his blanket around him. first spreading it in the pit and then fold- ing it about himself, sleep in warmth and com- fort. There are worse beds than those made m the snows in the Maine woods. When men so engaged do not carry a gun they take an amount | of smoked or dried meat of about the weight of arifie. Some, however, leave both gun and meat at home, and depend upon a fish line for frewh food. % © man who goes trapping or hunting, un- like the explorers will hate & home base’ so to speak.

For « $5 bill a man can get enough raw material to last, combined with wild meat and fish, for two months. I once camped nine days on Molunkus stream with three other men.
