A Claim That It Has Been Vio Some Nominations, Not all of the recess nominations which the President sent to the Senate will be confirmed without a struggle at . In| many cases the declared policy of the dem- cratic party, as expressed in one of the planks of their platform, has been over- stepped, and it is the intention of the re- publicans, if they are unable to defeat the confirmation of such persons, to at least cali the attention of the public to the fi The cases upon which the republ s will make a fight are those in which the home rule policy has been thrown aside. Among the nominations which the Presi. dent sent to the Senate were a number of land officers. ‘These nominations first. go to the committee on public lands for a re- port before they come before the Senate for action. A case has been chosen of a | nomination of a land officer for Oklahoma who was appointed from the state of Ken- tucky. The republican members of the committee are opposing the confirmation of this ‘man on the ground that his nomination is in opposition to home rule. It is said that some of the democratic members of the committee are in sympathy with this move- ment, and it is not improbable that the committee will report unfavorably on some of these appointments. sot —s AN APPOINTMENT HELD UP. The Man Recommended Said to Be a Secretary Carlisle has held up the ap- pointment of J. D. Shipp as keeper of the Neuse river light house, North Carolina. Mr. Shipp was recommended for appoint- ment by the light house board. He is now assistant keeper. On the report of Com- mander Sterling, inspector of that district, the former keeper, J. W. Brabble, was re- moved for being away from his station eight days at a time without permission, ‘The collector of customs at Wilmington recommended the promotion of Shipp to the place of keeper and this recommendation Was concurred in by the light house board. It appears that Brabble is a democrat and Shipp is a republican. These facts. were brought out by Congressman Branch of North Carolina, on whose request the ap- | intment of Shipp. was held up. It is stated by members of the light house board | that they have no way of knowing the poll- tics of men appointed in the service, and | that the service knows no politics. | Secretary, Ca: in a letter of last March, tok the light house service out of politics. He said in closing a long letter: t hes been the uniform custom. for nany years to regard the light house estab- lishment as a non-partisan se-vice. It is my Intention to continue that custom. No lightkeeper will be disturbed by me in his oificlal position, merely because of his po: litical opinions.” It is stated by- the light house board, however, that old collectors of customs upon whose recommendation keepers are usual appointed select republicans, and the never asks their politics. — It is thought that the champion pacer, Mascot, is foundered, and in that event his racing days are over. Ey | every one, | The | court this morning and there was enough DISTRICT COMMITTEEMEN. What Some of Them Have to Say as to Their Duties, Chairman Heard Speaks of His Long Experience om the Committee— Others Will Study Our Needs. Chairman Heard stated to a Star reporter today that a meeting of the District com- mittee will be called some time next week for the purpose of organization and the ap- pointment of appropriate subcommittees. Nothing in the way of District legislation | can be done, he thinks, until after the dis- posal of the silver bill now before the House | and the adoption of the rules, when reguler | legislative business may go ahead. have no special iegislation in view,” he said, “but I hope to be able to do every- thing in my power to benefit the District and to serve the best interests of the Dis- trict. I feel encouraged by my long service on the committee and the interest I have heretofore taken in District affairs to feel that perhaps I may be able to render some service to the city and vicinity.” Mr. Cooper Will Take an Interest. Mr. Cooper of Florida, one of the new members of the House District committee, is a shrewd looking man, just in the prime of life. His appointment upon the District committee, he said, came unsolicited on his part, and, in fact, he did not know that he was even ‘being considered for the place until the clerk announced his assignment yesterday. Mr. Cooper said to a Star re- porter today that he takes a warm interest in the welfare of the cityr realizing, as he does, that, as the capital of the ‘nation, Washington deserves the best efforts of as the whole country is con- cerned in the advancement of the capital. Mr. Cooper said he will take great pleas- ure in studying the needs of the city and giving close attention to all its demands. He has not given any attention to the trol- ley question, but when this matter comes up in committee his own action In the premises will be governed entirely by the showing made before the committee, and by what appears to be the best interests of the city and the wishes of the people. Mr. Cadmus Satisfied. Mr. Cadmus of New Jersey, who was re- appointed on the House District committee, is very well satisfied with his assignment, and will give District matters his careful and favorable attention. Mr. Cadmus said that he is not ready to commit himself upon the trolley question at present further than to make the sincere statement that he will work for the best interests of the city in this respect, and will not favor anything that may appear to prove harmful to the city or objectionable to the citizens. Mr. Cadmus wants to see some change in the motive power of the Metropolitan line, how- ever, and thinks the horses on this line could be abolished just soon as some practicable motive power can be agreed upon, A Great Deal of Business. Mr. Cobb of Alabama, a member of the District committee, thinks thgt there will be & great deal of business before the com- mittee during the coming session. The main object with the committee, however, he thinks, will not be whether the committee can handle the business or not, but whether time can be secured for consideration of | District measures in the House. said today that he is opposed to the use of the trolley on street-car lines in this city. ——— AN IMPORTANT A Woman Captured Who Had Appar- ently Been Stealing at Wholesale. ARREST. Policeman Jacob Heller of the second | precinct made an important arrest yester- day and recovered a quantity of vatuable property. The prisoner, a colored woman named Annie Brown, alias Annie Stewart, appeared in Judge Mills’ court this morning on two charges of grand larceny and one of petty theft. She is about forty years old and was dressed in a costly black garment, with lace sleeves, and in her hand she car- ried a black-trimmed palm leaf faa. Annie was the most important witness in the case arson against Mrs. Mary J. McBride, ried here Several years ago. It was she who gave such damaging testimony agai 1st the woman, who was convicted and sen- tenced to state's prison, and now she (the colored woman) stands a convicted thief. Several robberies had been reported and the case had been investigated, but without good results. Then Officer Hellen was put on the case and he not only made the ar- rest, but found several large baskets of alleged stolen goods in her rooms at 119 12th street, where Annie was gaged in the business of catering. She had been employed in different families as a domestic, but the evidence produced in court today made it apparent that she sought employment for other than legiti- | mate reasons. AU the house of Mrs. 10th street she went into the wholesale business. A valuable dress and $40 belonging to Mrs. Amiss, who lived in the house, disappeared, as did a gold watch and chain erty of Mrs. Andrews, were also’ missed. At the house of the colored woman the officer recovered most of the stolea prop- erty and placed the woman under arrest. property recovered was taken into of it to start a second-hand store. Numerous witnesses were examined and the woman was held on the charges of srand larceny for the grand jury. Bond in the cases was fixed at $1,000, In the case of theft a sentence of sixty days was Im- posed. ——_.__ TO MEET SEPTEMBER 12. The Date Fixed for the Board of ‘Trade Convention. Alexander D.

A dally average of $500,000 bonds have been depostied with him during the past week to secure circulation, until today the total deposits ran over $20,000,000, being an in- crease of $2,000,000 since 1 The Rockford shoe factory and W, nd John Barnes, machinists, at m4 factory, Nelson Knitting Company and erson, Talcott & Co. manufacturers agricultural implements, will resume with full force September 18 and the Trehern Pump Company will re-employ its entire force on that date.

The scheduled games for | today “are Louisville at Washington, St. | Louis at Baltimore, Cleveland at Philadel- | phia, Pittsburg at Brooklyn, Chicago at ew’ York and Cincinnati at Boston. New York made it three strajght from Cleveland. Cuppy was batted very hard, while Petty was an enigma to the Cleve- lands. The score stood 13 to 3. Stafford was accidentally spiked by scoring close to Petty, and a surgeon was called to attend to his wounds. Stein was an easy mark for the Cincin- natis yesterday and a score of 8 to 1 against the Brooklyns tells the tale. The only run for the home team was an over- the-fence homer by Tom Burns. Baitimore started her game with the Louisvilles in a way that made the game | look like a cinch, Before they left the plate |in the first ining they had scored up 5. In | the first the Colonels made 1. in the second | 2, and in the third they doubled everything | and got azound the bases for 6. This set- | tled the game, and when it closed the score was 12 to 9 in favor of the Colonel: Poor Philadelphia seems to have struck the slide and cannot stop. St. Louis only beat them out one run, but this was enough to make the series three straight for the Browns. Carsey was away off. Score, 9to 8 Corbett's New Trainer. Dantel McLeod, the well-known champion | wrestler, will go on to Asbury Park and as- | sist Corbett in his training for the coming fight. Negotiatiot to this effect have been pending for a week or more. A telegram | from Corbett has been received closing the | deal. Yacht Race Postponed. The Corinthian Club's yacht race, which was to have been sailed off near Newport | yesterday and for which three of the cup defenders—the Vigilant, the Colonia and the Pligrim—were entered, has been postponed. ‘The weather outside of Brenton's Reef was simply terrible. ‘The race for the $1,000 cup offered by Com- modore Colt of the Larchmont Yacht Club will be sailed August a1 over the club course, The Jubilee, Colonia and Vigilant are entered. \ Champion Jewett to Retire. Harry M. Jewett, the champion amateur sprinter, with a record of 9 45 seconds, has j really made up his mind to retire from the | track. Jewett has been training, but today | he says he ts through with it. “While I would rather run a race than eat strawberries,” he remarked, “the time has come for me to decide between pleas- ure and business, and the iatter wins. I am unable to see what new honors I could gain by running this year. If Carey or seme other sprinter of high reputation were to compete there would be some object for me. Richards of Yale has oyly done 10) yards in 10 1-5, and Stage of Cleveland has not run this ‘season. I don't see that it would reflect much credit on me to defeat & field of such sprinters.” Sale of Trotting Horses. One of the most important trotting horse sales that has taken place in Connecticut | fringing blessings to the sone and vauske occurred in New Haven Saturday.

That is the Post Office Department ts exceedingly anxious to get control of Rey. G. F. B. Howard. Today the department is out with a reward of $29 for the arrest of the reverend gen- tleman, alias Felix Howard, alias William Lord Moore, and also supposed allases E. Ross and Joseph Ledger. Howard was born in Edmonton, England, and was last jgeen in Chicago, "Ml. on August 4, 1893. From March to July, 189%, Howard was con- ducting a fraudulent scheme through the United States mails, with headquarters at Jackson, Tenn., where he posed as the stor of a Baptist church and the presi- lent of the “Guif and Tennessee Railroad Company,” and although no such company existed ‘he actually placed contracts for | Srading forty miles of road.

He walks with his head thrown back and has a seaman’s gait. He was full bearded, with hair of ginger color. He a fine preacher and all-around talker. Post Office Inspector Clum is authority for the statement that the preacher Is ex- pert in everything he undertakes, from a game of draw to preaching a funeral ser- mon. He was under arrest some time ago, but escaped from the inspector by telling plaus- ible stories about his intimate acquaintance with Postmaster General Bissell and other high official ERS FROM BERMUDA. They Confer With Secretary Carlisle as to Rectprocal Trade Relations. Messrs. Thomas’ J. Wadson and Samuel A. Masters, members of the colonial par- Mament of Bermuda, hal a conference with Secretary Carlisle at the Treasury Department today with a view of securing his aid and co-operation toward certain modifications in the McKinley tarif law which will admit natural products of Ber- muda into the markets of the United States under more favorable terms than are pos- sible under the existing order of things. ‘The two gentlemen named are specially commissioned to visit the United States with a view of securing better reciprocal trade relations.

Mr. Voorhees briefly sketched the birth of the law which result- ed from @ compromise and said that in an evil hour the worst and darkest that ever befell the cause of bimetallism or the honor and existence of silver money, this pernic- ious compromise was accepted and fastened on the country, The Senator from Ohio, Mr. Sherman, it was true, now claimed credit for his it ed assertions of late, that there had never been an hour since the compromise was effected that he had-not stood ready to violate it by voting for its repeal. In other words, having induced the producers of silver to surrender their right to its free coinage. in exchange for the right to sell four-and-a-half million ounces per month of bullion, the Senator from Ohio and his followers on that side of the chamber had been willing and anxious ever since to break the compact, repeal the consideration on which the compact was made, and leave their victims of misplaced confidence empty handed, without either the privilege of coining their silver or selling it as a mer- cantile commodity to the government. The act was not intended in good faith for the coinage of silver at all. On the contrary, it emanated from the enemies of silver | money, and its purpose was to degrade, dishonor and disgrace this one of the prec- ious metals until it could no longer hold its lace with gold as a part of the specie is of this country and of the world. In reducing silver to a merchantable commod- ity on a level with the products of the field and farm and issuing treasury certificates on it according to its market value there could be but one effect on the dignity and stability of that great money metal. It reeled and staggered under the blow until now its enemies predicted with joy its speedy and total destruction. Mr. Voorhees said that he spoke in no partisan vein, but yet it was with great satisfaction that he quoted from the record that not a single vote on his side of the chamber was cast for the act which bore the name of the Senator from Ohio to such @ peculiar eminence. He then quoted the yea and nay vote 1 which this “most dangerous makesii nown in our financial history passed nate. He wanted the grave responsi- bility for the violation of every sound prin ciple of finance, which such a measure cre- ated, to be met before the American peo- ple by those who were shown by the rec- ord to have assumed it. A Reliever As a firm, unfaltering believer in bi- metallism, and as an undeviating supporter of the coinage and use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the conn- try, without discriminating against either metal, Mr. Voorhees said he voted against | the passage of the Sherman act, and for | the same reason he would vote for its re- peal. The outcry in certain quarters at this time that those who vote for the re- peal of this measure are enemies of silver 4s money and in favor of its demonetiza- tion Was not only false so far as he w concerned, but in the light of what ra happened ‘In the past it was absurd. Be- ginning with the first speech he had made in the Senate and down to the present hour he could recall no vote or words on the subject of the coinage and circulation of silver which he would now chaise cr blot from the record if he could. And cw, in this, the darkest day ever known for silver, he avowed his unshaken faith “hat it would remain forever one of the world's great and potential factors in finance, com- merece, traffic and daily business transac- tion! would neither be demonetized nor I driven away from the habitations of the laboring masses of mankind. It had come down from immemorial ages and would continue to exist as one of the precious metals, upholding the credit of nations and ters of toil when the scenes through which we were now passing had grown dim in the light of progress of distant centuries. He should vote to repeal the Sherman act as he would remove a dead fly from a box of sweet ointment; as he would abate a nul- sance and wipe out an obstruction to ra- tional, wholesome Tt tainted and vt cial system and destroyed confidence in all business trans- act every hour it remained a part of the law. Repeal Firat. ‘The question had been asked whether a vote should be given for its unconditional repeal or whether before a substitute must be agreed upon. He (Voorhees) would at once eradicate this confessed evil from the body of our laws. with no other condition than his right and free agency to support and to secure, in connection with its re- peal, or afterwards, by an independent measure, as the success of its immediate repeal. ‘The primary duty of the hour, might at the time dictate a sound financial s; tem, embracing the coinage of silver on equality with gold. In making this stat ment he only repeated the declaration. of the Chicago platform on which the Ameri- can people restored to the presidency. one of the strongest, ablest, purest and most patriotic characters ever known to Ameri- can history. Mr. Voorhees at this point quoted the financial plank of the Chicago platform and, saying that the record did not stop this point, quoted from President Cleve- land’s letter of acceptance, which he sald was in no wise modified or contradicted by the singularly able message delivered & few days ago. He said in four brief sen- tences it contained every sound, wholesom enduring principle of finance ever’ kno in the history of the most prosperous na tion of the earth. Who dared in the face of the clear and explicit words which he read to charge that their author was a monometailist in disguise, a believer in the use of gold and gold alone, but wearing for the sake of an election to the presidency a bimetallic mask. His fearless frankness in the expression of his views on all public questions without regard to their ‘effect upon himself had long been conceded by friend and foe to be the leading character- istic of his mind. He had never recalled, retracted or explained a single word of his letter of acceptance, and it was just binding as when first given to the work He (Voorhees) was willing to stand or fali by his faith in the truth and honor of jrover Cleveland, and in his well-known fidelity to pledges ‘when once they are made. John G. Carlisle was the peer in intellect and spotless integrity of any of the tllus- trious statesmen who had held the folio of finance, including Hamilton, and he made no mistake in placing him asa bi- metallist. Said Mr. Voorhees: “As a demo- crat, as_an American citizen, as a man, loving and believing in justice fair play and common sense, I appeal to those around me, and to the great body of the people to Know whom we can trust, whom we can belleve, at such a time as this if we are to turn our backs on such men as Grover Cleve- land and John G. Carlisle. God help the democratic party and the country if such a stupendous mistake is to take place. Continuing, Mr. Voorhees said that. such questions as’ ratio were matters of detail, but the American people had deciared ‘that silver should not be demonetized and con- traction take place on the basis of mono- metallism. Congress would establish a fair ratlo and neither of the metals would be missed. No efforts would be to effect an ‘international agreement, but un- der no circumstances would the laboring, debt-paying, nine-tenths of the American people consent to double the debts of debt. ors by destroying half of the constitutional money. He would say. to those urging singe gold standard tear down and annihilate such an oppressive and destructive system of finance’ should It ever be established. Advice to Silver Me!

The Sherman act was made to do double duty and was charged with grave offenses in which it had no part. He never believed that our silver had driven gold from the country. and in this connection he recalled the wail of dismal prophesy that went up when, in Isi, the attempt was made to check’ the torrent of bankruptcy and ruin occasioned by the remonetization of silver in 1873. It was predicted that gold would fly to the uttermost parts of the earth from beneath the folds of the Ameri- can to escape the contamination of Silver. What did occur? The government | coined twenty-four ~y | of vo sal = | Year for twelve years, and meantime the | gold in the Unitel States Increased at the | Fate of forty millions per year. Such was | the fulftiment of the prophecy of 1878, and | yet he was now expected to believe that the free coinage of silver at a proper ratio Would banish all our gold and pat us on a single silver basis. He must be pardoned for believing nothing of the kind. The gold shipments were to be accounted for as part of the plan to sack the treasury, which was to be accompanied by a cofcerted outery from terror-stricken business circles and from the whole national bank- ing system, that nothing could restore | confidence and credit save the issuance of | three hundred millions of bonds. He had no desire to assail the national banks. It was the system he arraigned and not the | individuals who conducted it.

The Mii aire and Laborer. In this connection another great evil, arts- ing from the selfish and greedy instincts of the money power, demanded thoughtful at- tention. On general principles the contrac- tion of the currency throughout the whole by country was an object eagerly sought that limited but powerful class of pe who control four-fifths of the wealth, nearly the entire volume of the circulating medium of the United States. The power of the millionaire over the property, the labor, and the very lives of the people de- ended not merely upon the great suins tn | is own coffers, but equally as much, end far more, on the fact that the great iidus trial classes had scarcely any money at in their hands, and were deprived of every reasonable chance to obtain more. A con dition of the two extremes of vast cons! dated wealth on one hand and ab e poverty on the other—both very dangerous ‘was rapidly culminating in this coun’ Every proposition to put more circulation and within reach of th dally toll was alway by those Interested in minimizing wages of labor and the exchangeable va! of property.

The fact that the amount of omey in circulation is largely increased every | three months in the year by the payment | | of pensions, that it is done without the agency of the banks and beyond their co: trol for fluctuation, has excited and bitter opposition of the great m centers from the very beginning © | present pension system.

Fraud was j incident to human affairs, and from it there could be no complete escape: bit it were better far that even a fraudulent pen- sion should be xranted than an honest, well-earned, well-merited pension show be denied. It was the question of money,how- ever, and not the question of fraud which provoked the greatest wrath In certain quarters on the subject of pensions After quoting from his former speeches on the pension subject Mr. Voorhees»: that it was clear to his mind that money, amounting to over $1 annum, perhaps, and ving was one of the greatest sources now left to the people in the way of rency, independent of the contracting, storing power of the banks. Turning again to a discussion of the na- tional banking system Mr. Voorhees as serted that the banks were entering on a final fight for a prolonged future existene they were engagel at their Quatrebras, | preliminary to their Waterloo. ey intensely "realized that the present supply of — government bonds ior banking = purposes = must be very largely increased within the next five years or they would be forced to mence winding up and retreating from the theater of action on which they had so long appeared. Fourteen years hence, in 1907, the last bond on which the banks hwd issued their currency would have been 1e- deemed and cancelled. Long before this the question of a perpetuation of the r Yonal banking system ‘would. be presech peremptorily upon Congress. In. view of the recent action of the banks Congress could not too soon consider what s:stem the government should adopt in the near future In furnishing @ circulating medium to the ple.

Mr. Voorhecs took his stand against the existence, U- increase or the perpetuation of the national | debt for purposes of national banking and called upon the millions who constitute the great army of laborers to take notice o: this issue from this time on—an issue that will not down at any man's bidding. If Not National Banks, What?
