Effect of Labor Commissioner Peck's Report Among New York Politicians. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. New Youx, Ang. 29.—The week opened with Great activity at both republican and demo- | cratic headquarters. Secretary Foster of the Treasury Department came to town to look after thechdlerm situation and incidentally to talk over the political situation. Gen. Grosvenor left for Ohio after consulta- tion at republican headquarters. He says Blaine is taking « keer interest in the political contest and will be heard from in due time. He also says that the republican majority will be ten to fifteen thousand in Maine. Senator Hunton of Virginia, has just returned | | from Massachusetts, He ‘looks upon the democratic situation there as hopeless so far as the national ticket is concerned. He .hinks the democrats are likely £0 lose three Congressmen, but will probably lect the governor. A party of North Carolina republicans called at headquarters today and claimed that with reasonable aid in the way of speakers and funds they could carry that ‘state. They are now | waiting for an extended interview with Chuir- man Carter. The most startling event of the day has been the publication of the report of State Labor Commissioner Peck, a democrat, showing that | under the McKinley’ bill wages of a quarter o & million workmen were increased last year ove six millions and productions of labor over | thirty-two millions. and i must be with especial purpose of injuring the pet tariff theory of Cleveland. It is the town today in political circles. It is understood that Chairman Dickinsonis to- Peck isa Hill democrat, was when he left here that he would reach De- | troit today and leave ¢ tomorrow evening | for Chicago, where he will meet the chairmen of democratic siate com- mittees in the seven western states which are to be the especiul subject of attention from Chicago headquarters. He is expected to re- turn here by Saturday, when a conference will be held relative to the western situation as | developed by his consultation of Wednesday. The democratic leaders were again cheerful today over u visit of a Tammany leader to the headquarters. This time it was Louis J. Conlan | of the tweifth district and his visit was inter- | preted as another evidence of the cordial reln- tions which Tammany leaders are promising | with reference to the campaign. pets FIGHTING CONGRESSMAN McALEER. Efforts to Keep Him from the Nomina- t Pnitaperenta, Aug. 29.—The democratic primaries which will be held here tonight to elect the delegates to the various ward conven- tions are devoid of interest except in the third congressional district, where “the administra- tion faction” will endeavor to deprive Congress- man McAleer of the nomination for Congress. ‘The McAleer people feel confident that they can élect their delogates in six of the eight wards in the district. The sixth ward is certain to favor Capt. W. W. Kerr, who is the choice of the state administration, and the third ward is doubtful. The others are claimed by the anti-administra- tion faction. The delegates elected tonight will assemble tomorrow morning and elect delegates to county, congressional and senatorial conven- tions, which will be held Thursday morning. Judge Bregy today gave a decision in court of common pleas, No. 1, refusing to grant the special injunction which was asked for in the interest of Representative Fow against Samuel D. Daly. The injunction would have restrained the men elected by the Kerr end of the ward executive committee from acting as chairmen of the two ward conventions. = THE PRESIDENT TRIP. He Will Go to New York and See Mr. Reid and the Leaders. New Yorx, Ang. 29. Wednesday night. The President upon his ar- rival here, it was said at headquarters today, would probably an. nounce his program for the coming cam paign.

WELLER HOPES FOR PEACE. He Thinks There Will Be but One Demo- cratic Committee After Tomorrow. Tomorrow night there will bea meeting of the Weller faction of the central democratic committee, and Mr. Weller stated to » reporter of Tux Stan today that he felt sure that &nam- ber of the members of the Manogue faction would be present snd snewer to their names when the roll of the committee was called. “In other words,” remarked Mr. Weller, “I feel confident that the unfortunate and senseless controversy will be at an end tomorrow night."" Mr. Weller explained that he had never bad but one object in all that he had done in en- its preservation in the “For me,” sai “I am heartily sick and tired the contention the two factions, and could I have foreseen what has since happened I would never have ac- cepted, the “tairmanshtp of the committee.

Mr. Weller said he bad no comments to make upon the remarks of Mr. James P. Brown at the last meeting of the Manogue committee ex- cept to say that the first time he read Mr. Costello's letter was when he read it in Tae Stan. “Mr. James F.

A. R, encampment, are considerably annoyed over the course mat- ters have taken in relation to the reception of the Woman's Relief Corps. The committee realizes that there will be much work to do and that any neglect to pro- vide well for the entertainment of the visitors would upon the city the unpleasant charge of inhospitality. So, despite the present attitude of Mrs. Sue Pike Sanders, national resident of the W. R. C.," due as committee believes to an entire miscon- ception, the citizens’ committee will go on making'theample arrangements planned for the reception and comfort of the body of which ‘Mrs, Sanders is president, This wae a part of the duties assigned the committeo by the citizous’ executive com- mittee and the Inter committee hae given its approval to the work of the committee by ing eportion of theG.

True, they are already well known to you, but the comfort, welfare and future usefiilness of many thou- sands of women organized for patriotic pur- pores require that the entire history ebould be Clearly stated in such form as to lead to just conclusions. You say “there can be no misunderstanding between you (referring to the chairman of this committee) and the national president (Mrs. Sanders), ds she has never withdrawn her ac- ceptance of the courtesies tendered.” he correspondence on file between your- self (Mrs. Sanders), the chairman of this com- mittee, and Mra. Ida V. Hendricks develops the following circumstances: In October, 1891, at the request of the Depart- ment of the’ Potomac, or its president, Mra. Hendricks, you assigned to that department (or to her) the entire duty of providing for all the needs of the W. R. C. convention and the com- fort of its delegates. March 31, 1892, you accepted all those hos- pitalities and courtesies from this ladies’ com- mittee of citizens of Washington, and have ce declared and continue to declare that you “received them cordially and in good faith, with full confidence that this committee would fulfill every promise in the most pleasing and acceptable manner.” June 4. 1892, Mrs. Ida V. Hendricks, president of the Department of the Potomac. wrote to the chairman of our committee announcing her appointment in October “by the national president of the W. R. C. as her representative to prepare luncheon, hire tables, chairs, dishes and silver, to prepare markers for state delegations, to furnish iee, hire piano, furnish post office ‘and to take charge of all other matters incident to the national couven- tion of the W. R. C.” June 30, 1892, you wrote to the chairman of our committee, informing her of the resolution passed in October, that “t partment of the Potomac, W. cepted, that the department well in hand and there is every believe that the reason to exult will be entirely satisfac- tory and that the Department of the Potomac will not fali behind the departments that bave entertained the convention heretofore. You further, in the sume leticr, declare “any reference of this subject to the citi mittee of gentlemen Was un cl or the usayes of her or also “that the resident of the W. R.

C., and who “has the work well in hand,” departs from the “example set by your distinguished predecessors,” and submits this entire subject to the citizens’ committee of gentlemen, trans- mitting to these gentlemen your official letter to her authorizing her to act for you, making a requisition upon them for an appropriation for expenses, and giving them an itemized statement, including “‘deco- rations, flowers, music, luncheons, mark- ers for state delegations, ice and ice boxer, inge hire, expenses of officers one week after convention,” éc., &¢., &c., amounting to $3,333.75, a sum about equal to what had been set aside by that committee for the ladies’ citi- zens’ committee to entertain six organizations triotic women durit encampment week. , Our committee of women had the gen- erous use of all the agencies the hospitable peo- ple of Washington could place at our disposal, ‘and therefore, whon requested by the citizens’ committee to make our financial estimate to them, did not name a large amount. ‘The citizens’ committee immediately referred Mrs. Hendricks’ appeal to our committee ‘for consideration and report,” sine she had, based appeal on our alleged “withdrawal of cour- tess to the W.
