A thousand and one ladies have tried on and variously criticised the new garments. “Souvesms: Or Tur “Ovesixe. It's so unusual to open the new goods of a new season with reduced prices that criticism is plentiful.

Panis Asp Loxpos Ganuests VERSUS Tuose Or Domestic Masvracrvne. ‘The “Opening” here is interesting from another point of view: It shows the great advancement of home manufacturers. Side by side with the ar- ments wade in New York and other cities of the United States are the novelties from Paris, and Berlin. Even expert modistes cannot point to those of domestic and those of foreign manufacture. We know, of course, that the one is the copy of the other. but which is the original and whieh the copy? ‘Hore is the price list: ‘Velvet Capes, $20 to 845 each. Spring Costumes, #8 75 to $35 each. Among the Velvet Capes are the very latest arrivals. ‘Those of changeable shades of blue, brown, green, helictrope. The silk waists include all the most ex- treme styles—so extreme are some that you will smile you try them on. And the Umbrella Skirt Costumes —you are more likely to condemn than praise.

Correspondence of The Eveping Star. Canzixs, Va., February 23, 1898. ‘The organization of the Carlins Improvement Association was effected this morning in the town hall. THE BIMETAULIC LEAGUE. ache es Ml Resolutions Reported and Unanimously Adopted at Today's Session. ‘The second day's session of the first annual convention of the Bimetallic League of America was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning at Concordia Hall, President A. J. Warner presiding. Not quite so large a num- ber of persons were in attendance as at the opening of the convention yesterday morning, and as was the case yesterday # number of the fair sex were attentive spectators, Mrs. Wm- E. Lease of Kansas being among the number, Immediately after the calling of the conven- tion to order this morning Mr. Albert Griftin of Kansas, who it was explained wasa republi- can, began the reading] of = paper entitled “Why Business Mes and Capitalists Should Favor Free Silver.” The reading of the paper was suspended, however, in order to permit the committee on resolutions to report through Gen. James B. Weaver. THE RESOLUTIONS REPORTED. ‘The resolutions referred to the demonetizing of silver in 1878 as the great moral and financial crime of the nineteenth century; that the act was destructive of the interests of the Ameri- convention demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present ratio of 16to 1; that all legislation discriminat- ing between silver and gold be denounced as unconstitutional and revolutionary; that the conference between this country and any other as to what the money or cur- rency of the United States should be be de- nounced as inconsistent with sound public policy; that the convention denounce the recent attempt to repeal the act of 1890 re- quiring the monthly purchase of silver asa menace to the prosperity of the country and an attenpt to repeal the emergency’ com- romise forced at that time, and that Farrepeal be resisted’ by all logit. mate mi unless it be to substitute in lieu thereof free and unlimited coinage of silver; that the convention denounce the ad- ditional issue of government bonds as vicio and wholly unwarranted and as an at tempt to extend and perpetuate industrial servitude; that the convention declare ite purpose to continue ite struggie until Justice is secured, and that an address to the people be prepared setting forth the evil in- fluence ot those who, through selfish motives, seek to further fasten British theories and in- terests upon the American republic. After ashort but spirited discussion of the report it was unanimously adopted and the reading of papers on the silver question was continued. THE AFTERNOON SESSIOX. Yesterday afternoon and evening sessions of the Bimetallic League now in progress at Con- cordia Hall were enlivened by some vei spirited speaking, at which the “gold bugs” ‘and monopolists were handled without gloves. The afternoon session was opened by from Mr. J. T. N. Porter of Virgii he attacked the subsidized press. After loud calls for Gen. Weaver the latter was escorted to the platform amid cheering. He declared that the cause of silver was under the ban of the gold men. Now its supporters were not the million men who voted for the People’s candidates last fall, but millions who would die for it if necessary. He was just from atrip to New England, where he found the cause growing under the shadow of Wall street. Ite adhorents wore ready todebate the question, but could find no takers. “Your Congress,’ he said, “like a thief in the night, controlled by a_man in this city who held balf a million in British gold, struck down the white metal just as our brave boys were marching home with the laurels on their brows, and no one since has dared restore it to its par- Sty. ‘The great battlefield is in New England. 0 west is all right; the south is with you. Don’t be afraid of this administration. ‘They are afraid to reduce the tariff, because they face a deficit in the treasury. ‘They can’t cure that cept by inflation, aud they won't cure it that way. There is but one thing for the new ad- ministration to do—stand still and perish.” ‘MRS. MARY LEASE SPEAKS. Mrs, Mary Lease was loudly demanded and when she consented to speak the hall rang with shouts and cheers. She did not quibble, but launched at once into one of her characteristic speeches which during the last campaign made her famous. Among her assertions she said she would not be satisfied with tariff reform, but will demand free silver, free lands, free air, and if there is anything élse free in sight she wants that also. She demands an income tax, that the Stanfords, Carnegies and Goulde should bear the burdens of this country. The great questions today are land, labor and money. “Would that God might touch my lips with a coal of fire that I might speak a word to arouse our people to their responsibilities. We have groped on for nineteon years with bowed heads and sad hearts through the gathering gloom of currency contraction, which forces the debtor to the terms of the creditor, which has brought the wealth of this most wealthy country into the pockets of 24,000, Our legislators have be- come hirelings of the money power, the hired nts of the Rothschilds. Patriotism and love of home will no longer allow us to bear the burden of that debt fastened on us by John Bull and John Sherman. [Great applause. ] WANT MORE SILVER DOLLARS, “We want more of those dishonest silver dol- Jars that made John Sherman a millionaire at a salary of $5,000 a year. By the demonetiza- tion of silver they have handed over to our ient and hereditary foe that wi our fore- fathers fought for at Concord—-free houses and free lands. She owns vast tracts of fertile land and has brought over her time tried forms of robbery, landlordism, interest and eviction. Twenty-five millions of our people are home- less and their cry goes up to the living God. England owns our mines, railroads and fac- tories. She can ship from London to Chicago cheaper than we can from New York to Chi- cago. When tin was discovered in the Black Hills she bought the mines and the owners sent over their agent to help McKinley protect American tin. Thank God all that is left of that farce today is the jingling dead march of McKinleyism. “England gave Benedict Arnold gold for his treachery. ‘oday there hangs in the Bank of England with the pictures of ite directors the portrait of that American who did more than any other to demonetize silver. In that good day to come may she furnish him a grave, for no name will be #0 hated, 80 despised as his. President H. L. Loucks of the Farmers’ Alhance and Senator Stewart also spoke. THE EVENING SESSION. The evening session was largely attended in the expectation that the committee on resolu- tions would be prepared to make their report. ‘The committee consists of one delegate from each state and territory, and it in turn dele- ted its work to Gen. ‘Weaver, Gen. Field, ‘ongressman-elect Harris of Kansas, the ex- confederate general; Lafe Pense and B. 0. Flower of Boston, the editor of the Arena. The audience met with disappointment, for the committee, after deliberating all the evening down at the National Hotel, sent up word that it had been found impossible to trame the reso- lutions before 10 o'clock, the appointed hour. The time was consequently devoted to speech making on the silver question, in which Repre- sentative Bland, Col. A. C. Shinn of Kansas and Judge J. W. Huston, the chief justice of Idaho, took part. NATIONAL REFORM PRESS ASSOCIATION. Aconference of the National Reform Press Association, which includes in its membership the editors of the populist papers. was held yesterday afternoon. The business transacted ‘was the appointment of committees which will Teport thiemorning. A comaittes was named to oppose the new Russian extradition treaty. ‘This action was taken at the instance of Mr. Nicholas Aleimkoff, the chairman of the execu- tive committee of the Russian American Na- INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE. AY, ‘FEBRUARY 23. 1893. THE INAUGURATION. Mr. Beaumont’s Correspondence With Mr. Cleveland Criticieed— Executive Committee Business. The chairman of the committee on Mr. Oliver T. Beaumont, came in for a share of the attention of the inaugural executive com- mittee at the meeting yesterday. Chairman Norris spoke of the published report that Mr. Beaumont had written to the President-elect in regard to the committee of which he is chair- man providing « carriage for Mr. Cleveland for the inauguration. Mr. Norris stated the action of Mr. Beaumont was entirely unwarranted and that the matter of conveying Mr. Cleveland from the Capitol to the White House on iuan- guration day was in the provinee of the special committee of the Senate appointed for that purpose. “He considered that Mr. Beauraont's course was a usurpation of the rights of the | the District of Columbia, and F. C. Tibbott, his | Senate committee, and, besides, he should have | stenographer. Mr. L. T. Michener of Indianap- | conferred with the executive committee as to | olis joined the party by special invitation of any information at his command the | the nt. ‘There were also on the train inaugural ceremonies before making the same ublic. . Mr. Lawrence Gardner thought Chairman Beaumont should be censured for his conduct, but said that he would refrain from making « motion to that effect owing to the deed having committed and there was no reason to ir up the matte: ‘Mr. Lancaster stated that he had seen Mr. Cleveland's letter to Chairman Beaumont, and that while he deprecated Beaumont's action, it was better not to take any official cognizance of the violation of the proprieties. Chairman Norris considered that Mr. Beau- mont had takena great liberty, and that the executive committee should place iteelf right in the matter. Several other members exp! themseives ina similar manner and then the subject was allowed to drop. PROGRESS IN THE BALL ROOM. ‘Mr. Lawrence Gardner, general manager of the bali, presented a report calling for a num- ber of small appropriations, all of which were granted by the executive committee. He offered a resolution that passes to the building should be signed by the chairman of the execu- tive committee and of the subcommittee of which the applicant wasa member. This was Adopted and Mr. Gardner offered. resolution that no passes to the pension building be issued except for employes and members of subcom- mittees who have business at the building. This was also adopted. Chairman Henning of the committee on ball ticket distribution has been authorized and directed to advertise in Washington and other cities where tickets for the ball could be pur- e Chairman Hutchins of the committee on street decorations has received assurance from householders that nearly every house on the avenue will be decorated in a manner eclipsing all other occasions, NOTES. The Cleveland, Stevenson and McKaig Club of Montgomery county, Md., will be in hne with 816 horsemen, under the marshalship of W. Viers Bouic, jr. The club will assemble at Rockville the morning of inauguration day and ride to this city. Col. L. A. Wilmer, commandant of the first Maryland regiment, Lieut. Col. Lane and Maj. McClean have arranged for the trip of the regi- ment to this city March 4. Col. Wilmer says he will take nine companies, as follows: Compa- nies A, C, D, E, F,G,K and L and parts of companies B and I, which will be consolidated as one company for the parade. The Fulton Social of Baltimore, composed of about thirty members, hus arranged to eome by stage to this city to attend the inauguration. The party, accompanied by a band of ten pieces, will leave Baltimore in an eight-horse "bus at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of March 3 and will reach Laurel in time for supper. A dance is expected to be given in the party's honor at Laurel, and the party will spend the night in the town, leaving the next morning in time to reach this city by 11 o'clock. GOV.

Va.. has notified the inaugural commit- tee that it will being 247 men to the inaugura- tion, a RUSSIAN EXTRADITION. A Treaty Amendment That Has Been Ac- cepted by the Russian Government. ‘The agitation against the ratification of the Russian extradition treaty, which found expression here ¥, seems to be directed against condition of — things which does not exist. Official declara- tion bas been made that the treaty has already been ratified by the Senate, with an amendment that the representative of tho Russian government agreed to in advance of its adoption, so that the only formality yet re- maining to be observed prior to the proclama- tion of the treaty is the exchange of ratifica- tions. ‘Fhis, it is expected, will take place at St. Petersburg within the next month. The amendment in question covers the ex- tradition of persons charged with attempts ‘upon the lives of members of the royal family or head of government and 1s the object of the opposition to the treaty. It is an amend- ment to the article relating to political crimes, As originally drafted by Secretary Bayard and the Russian minister, six years ago, the article was objectionable to the majority of the Senate and it remained on the executive calendar without action until a few weeks ago, when Secretary Foster secured the consent of the Russian government to an amendment similar in terms to a provision in the treaty of extradition with Belgium, which has been in force more than ten years and reads as follows: “An attempt rgainst the life of the head of ither government, or against that of any me ber of his family, when such an attempt com- prises the act of either murder or assassination or of poisoning, shall not be considered a po- litical offense or an act connected with such an offense.” Officials at the State Department say that this provision is widely different from the assertion made by the opponents of the treaty, that “the amendment of the treaty, as it now stands, vides that an attempt to kill the czaror any one of Russian royal family, whatever the motive may be, shall not be considered as a political offense; hence » charged by the Russian government with such an attempt shall be ex- tradited by our government.” 2S Se eee THE DETROIT VISITORS.

Hichborn of the navy bureau of construction and repair and a number of offi- ciais of the Navy Department. The train was under the direction of Assist- ant General Passenger Agent G. W. Boyd. Both sections were early troubled with hot boxes and left Baltimore three-quarters of an hour late on account of them. The breakfast was served by this time and s rapid ran was made without incident to Phila- | phia, in the outekirte of which at South street occurred the unfortunate collision of the | first section with the Media accommodation train and a delay of nearly two hours ensued. None of the passengers on the second section knew the cause or extent of the trouble until the train pulled by the tell-tale evidences fur- nished by the wrecked coach. President Harrison was greatly distressed over the accident and expressed the deepest re- | gret. It very sensibly Trnpressed itself upon all the occupants of the train. The run from Philadelphia to Jersey City, which was reached at 1:50 o clock, was made withont further inci- dent of note. ‘The party returned to Washing- ton last evening. THE PRESIDENT AT THE WRECK. ‘The President's train had just reached the | scene of the disaster when the first victims were rescued. President Harrison, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked with Mr. Bord. and it was the inquiries of the latter which first | brought out the cause of the disaster. The President showed the deepest concern in the matter and during the hour he was on the spot seemed very much depressed by the unfortunate accident which bad befallen his party. CONGRESSMEN WORKING IX THE WRECK. In the work of rescue several members of Congress were particularly active. They were passengers on the first section of the and though some of them were stunned by the severe shock, they quickly got to work and lent valuable assistance in taking the injured people out of the tangled wreck. Congressman John B. Robinson of Media, Pa., was on the train and his story of the dis- aster is interesting. ‘I was one of a group that included Representatives Boutelle of Maine, Durborow of Illinois and Belknap of Michigan,” he said, ‘and near us were Maj. Carson and Uriah Painter, the well-known Washington cor- respondents. “We hada fine run from the capital and changed engines at Gray's Ferry. Just after Passing South street and while we were running ata high rate of speed there was ashock that threw me out of my seat and I found myself in the aisle, one of a frightened crowd of distin guished men whose positions were anything but dignified, The pitiful cries of | people on the other train soon caused us to realize that a hor- rible accident had taken place, and all hands hurried out of the car and rushed to the work of rescue. The scene was asickening one and hat the loss of life was not heavier is wonder- al “I very soon discovered that most of the People on the express were my friends. Among them were my predecessor, ex-Con- gressman Darlington, Lawyer Ed Price, James Spear of Wallingford, Prof. Rothrock, Dr. Ira Dunn, Capt. T. W. Taylor, George Bateman and his son, "Mise Lizzie Pinkerton and many others, all of whom were cither injured or severely shocked. We at once began to help the train hands remove the injured and I never saw aman work harder than did Representative Belknap. “We were asked by the railroad officials to continue our journey, but the ardor of the party had been dampened by the disaster, most Of ue decided to give up our trip to Ne York. Several came to Philadelphia, but more took the next train back to Washington.” Congressman Robinson was somewhat bruised, but went to his home in Media last night but little the worse for his experience. Maj. Carson, who was on the special, gives graphic description of the scenes at the wreck. | He said a = —_ omy = and Con- | greseman P fichigan jumped ont, | and, going to the pile of wreckage, helped several of the injured to safety.

Superintendent Dunn Prepared to Accom- modate Guests During Inauguration. Supt. Dunn of the municipal lodging house visited police headquarters today and inspected the reports of the police lieutenants. He was gratified to find that only one lodger was accommodated by the police last night, To a Sram reporter Superintendent Dunn said he was expecting a great many guests for the inauguration and he is prepared to feed and shelter fifty ata time. The guests, of course, must work for what they get, as his institution is not what in ordinarily termed a “soup house.” Last night there were thirty-three lodgers accommodated, and the har} feniwly is ac- counted for by the superintendent in this way: Saturday and Sunday there was a fall house, and those who went away after their three days had expired have not yet bad time to reach another city and pase the word to their road comecmane the lodging hi growit rary at jouse is slowly, the last contribution having been ‘meds by, 8 Senator McMillan. pany for $90,000 damages was taken up for| ing trial for the third time before » jury, i panied by Private Secretary Maj.

Herbert for the navy has been expected for several days, but | Mr. Olney’s name had not been mentioned in connection with the cabinet and his selection is a surprise to everybody, particularly to the | friends of George A. Jenks of Pennsylvania, who were given to understand in some way that he had been offered the position. Hillary A. Herbert bas been in Congress for many years and bas acted as chairman of the naval committee of the House. He is | thorougly familiar with the work that has been done toward placing the navy on a proper footing and his knowledge of the present con- | dition of the vessels under construction and | which bave been planned makes him a desirable | man for the head of the department.

Mr. Olney has always, so far as is known, affliated with the democratic party, except when that party in Massachusetts took Gen. | Butler for ite gubernatorial candidate.

The reported movement in the form of a Petition to have chiefs of division included in the classified civil service has excited some con- troversy. Those who started the movement say ithas been misunderstood. One of these wroteto Tue Sra today the following ex- planatory statement: ‘movement among the clerks to induce the Pres- | division. In reply thereto permit me to quote the petition which is now in circulation for sig- natures and has already been numerously It is as follows: “To the President of the United States: “The undersigned emploses in the classified departmental service respectfully petition that the civil service rule which excepts chiefs of division from examination be abrogated. “Under the present construction of that rule Persons without experience in the service are usually appointed chiefs of division, and em- ployes having that special knowledge and train- ing which are indispensable to the proper d's- charge of the important duties of those po-i- tions are deprived of opportunities for promo- tion. “The practice is seriously detrimental to the public interesta; and by withholding promotion ‘om employes of proved fidelity and efficiency those now in the service are discouraged and | young men of ability and promise are de- terred from entering.
