Ax the delegates came they were met by the ushers, who were young ladies, and shown to the seats them. ‘The body of the house was reserved for dele- gates, while in the galleries a large number of spectators witnessed the proceedings. The session was not begun at the hour stated, but by 11 o'clock the seats reserved for the dele- | gates were nearly all occupied. It was estimated that there were some 200 delegates t, and as they came from all parts of the country it isevident that the interest in the national meeting of this growing organization is very groat.” The latest membership is esti. mated to be over 2.500, and the number of chapters is steadily increasing. MRS. CABELL RAPS FOR ORDER. When Mrs, William D. Cabell, the vice presi- dent general presiding, rapped for order with the silver-mounted gavel on the flower-decked stand, but small impression was mado on the hum ‘and buzz of conversation that filled the room. The delegates were standing in the aisles chatting together and the gentle tapping of the gavel at first unnoticed, Then it became more insistent, and finally the delegates, one after another, began to realize that the gavel had some personal reference to themselves. When thin fact began to be gen- erally impressed upon the minds of the dele- fates they sought sents and there was a decided jullin the tide of conversation. Mrs. Cabell | stood patiently in her place, using the gavel at intervals, and before long there was sufficient quiet to enable her to announce that the second continental congress would come to order. ‘This was followed by the introduction of Mrs. T. 8. Hamlin, the cha; lain general, who came forward and after reading a few verses of Scripture offered a fervent prayer, in the course of which reference was made to’ the loss #us- tained by the society in the death of the presi- dent general, Mrs. Harrison.

After the roll had beea prerared Mr. Cabell, in graceful words, welcomsd the dele-| gates to this city.

Cabell took the opportunity during a lull in the proceedings to say something about the handsome silver gavel which she wielded with so much grace. It was a present, she said, from M-s. Wilborn, the regent of Rhode Island. The wood was a part of the British veusel Gospel, which so exasperated the good citizens of Khode Island during the war of the revolution that they pluckily organized an ex- pedition and burnt the vessel.

A point had’ now been reached when the society could enter upon the broader field of work which opened before them. The earnest hope was expressed that the present convention would inaugurate the work which would result in the erection of a suitable building in this city where the arch- ives could be kept and the sessions of the society would beheld.

The all-night session of the House last night furnished some amusing scenes. When the august body adjourned at 6:30 o'clock this morning the members carried away with them memories of some lively times, The Congressional Record will be an inter- esting document if it faithfully records all that was said and done during the long hours of the night. A SLIPPERY CONDITION. Difficulty was found in obtaining a quorum, “‘owing to the slippery condition of the streets, it was said, whereby conveyances could not be procured to bring in the absentees, However, not only the streets were slippery. ‘There was good “skating” he Capitol last night. At any rate re persons were reported as having “skates on. hat may be a parliamentary term, however, and have no connection with slippery streets, yet such an interpretation would be rather a. ‘The all-night session was caused by the oppo- ition to the pending bill to provide a uniform system of car couplings to be used on railroads, he opponents tilibustered and were aided by the absence of a quorum. At 6:30 this morn- ing, after reaching an agreement to bring up the bill next Monday under suspension of the rules, the House adjourned. FACETIOUS AND FRETFUL. During the night the members were in torn facetiohs and fretful. Some warm passages of words occurred, for mstance when Mr. Watson charged Mr. Richardson with being a tool of | railroad corporations, but fortunately the sesxion passed off without any fist fights. Sev- eral absentees were arrested by the sergeant- at-arms and brought before the bar of the House, where after a little good-natured badinage they were excused for being absent without leave, The Congressional Record reported the THE BIMETALLIC LEAGUE. '| The First Convention Assembles in Con- cordia Hall Today. The first annual convention of the Bimetallic League of America assembled in Concordia Hall this morning at 11 o'clock. About 100 persons were in attendance, a few of whom were ladies. ‘The first session was rather an informal one, 8 no organization had been effected and the convention did little else than to listen to an address of welcome by President A. J. War- ner, in which he set forth the demand for such a league and the benefits to be accrued from active, zealous work on their part. OEN. WARNER'S ADDRESS. Gen. Warner stated the aim of the league to be the securing of legislation for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. This question, he said, was the most important one now before ‘the American people or before the civilized world. It overshadowed the tariff question, which in bis opinion was but a result of the restricted coinage of silver, and it was at the bottom of the’ Irish uestion. It was also at the bottom of the question and was responsible for the condition of the boring from its monetary use. He ui m act, but to labor until silver was put ‘on a parity with gold. The two political ties during the campaign denied that de silver question was an issue, but as soon as the election was over it ‘was the only issue that the President-elect had given serious consideration. After the appointment of committees the meeting took a recess until the afternoon. The remarks of President Warner were fre- quently punctuated with applause by the con- Yention, and when he concluded the demon- stration was quite vehement. OBJECT OF THE LEAGUE. The object of the Bimetallic League, of which Mr. Warner is president, Mr. Lee Cran- dall, secretary, and a vice president from every state, is to promote the interests of free silver. What the convention will do in rection has not yet been planned, but « committee containing a delegate from each state and territory to take control of a silver campaign will probably be one of the methods decided upon to advance the free coinage principles. The gathering at a glance was seen to bea strongly populist one. In the front seate wore Gen. James B. Weaver and Gen. Field, the presidential and vice presidential candi- dates in the recent election on the populist ticket, — while in the rear of the hall was Mra, Mary A. Lease, whose part in the Kansas campaign has made her a national personage. At the close of President Warner's address a motion was carried for the appointment of com- mittees on credentials, resolutions and ways and means, the members of each to be designated by the delegates from the various states. In order that the delegation might get together and confer u recess was taken until 1:30. SOME OF THE DELEGATES PRESENT. Among the delegates in attendance today were Col. A. C.

Maurice Flynn is the proprietor of alineensed bar room in South Washington and yester- day he was called upon in the Police Conrt to explain the alleged sale of some gin to u colored woman named Hattie olden. Hattie told of the purchase of a drink and a bottle of gin in the defendant's place, She anid she was not sent there by a police officer or any one else, but when Lawyer Carrington questioned her she admitted that Officer Pearce had given her money and sent her there. In the way of explainmg her conduct she said that her friend, Jennie Wood, had made complaint that her husband, who was paid off Saturday night, had not been home, but had been in the defend- ant’s place. Jennie Wood was called, but she denied the statement that she had complained of her hus- band. The beer she had Sunday, she said, «he bought Saturday night, and when the officer sent her out Sunday to get beer at Mr. Flynn's she went out in her back yard and poured the beer from a bottle into a bucket. She told speeches up to 10 o'clock p.m. when it went to press with a line at the end of the column read- ing : “(To be continuea]” like the first chapter of a dime novel. When the House reconvened at 11 o'clock this morning it was with a light attendance, com- poved largely of members who were fortunate enough to escape the sergeant-at-arms last night and had enjoyed a good night's rest. ee FATHER COLUMBIA'S TRIAL, Some Farther Particulars About His Queer ‘Organization. Father Columbia, otherwise called Walter H. Shoupe, carried s large tin box when he ap- peared in Judge Kimball's court today to en- ter upon the fourth day of the trial for alleged vagrancy and suspicion. Miss Sada Travis, who was one of Father Co- lumbia’s clerks, was recalled. She bad been on the stand yesterday, and she was the thirty- third witness examined. Witness told of re- ww York of persons having joined el a etser sevelved trams lett jive New York asking the defendant to come there and make « settlement and stop shamming sickness, ‘They wanted return of the money paid as initiation or membership fees and wit- ness said that Father Columbia explained to her how he could cheat the people out of their money. The certificate, she said, read ——— GENUINE FOSTER KID GLOVES, all kinds, HALF PRICE. FINE IMPORTED MILLINERY, LACES, RIB. BONS, &c., at LESS THAN HALF PRICE. JACKETS AND CAPES AT HALF PRICE.

Jennie denied that she went to Mr. Flynn's place Sun- day. Hattie Bolden was recalled and questioned but she made no change in her statement. Policeman Pearce was next put on the stand and he told of the complaint made by Jennie Wood about her husband. Judge Kimball said that perjury had been possible he was committed in the case, and going to find the guilty’ one. Additional witnesses were sent for. They were Rove Miller and James Henry. They were nestioned and the District, through Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting attorney, ‘announced that its case waa cl ‘Mr. Carrington entered a demurrer to the proof, which was overruled. In commenting on the proof the jndge said that no officer has a right to tempt a man to break the law, but he has a right to use legitimate ‘means to detect persons who are known to be violating it. In over- ruling the demurrer the judge said he would hold Jennie Wood for the grand jury for alleged perjury. The hearing in the case was résumed this was up.
