Harri- son, accompanied by Mrs. Dimmick and Mrs. Parker, left Cape May Point this morning for Indianapolis. The ex-Pre: dent’s departure was hastened by the na- tional encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, at which he is expected to make an address. He goes away in ex- cellent health, after a quiet summer spent at his cottage, which ts now closed for the season. The party will stop in Philadelphia for a few hours. —— ON THE ST. LAWRENCE. Reports of Damage Caused by the Re- cent Storm, QUEBEC, Aug. 31.—From all points comes news of disasters by Tuesday's gale. The British bark Premier, which was loading deals for Price Bros. at Metis, in the lower St. Lawrence, was washed on the rocks and is dismasted. A large batteau from the lower parishes, loaded with firewood, was wrecked at the mouth of the St. Charles river. ‘The steam yacht Wasp, owned by Mr. Mc- Nabb, went aground in the Du Loup river, and the, lives of those on board were saved through the efforts of the yacht’s owner, who, with a rope around his waist, man- aged to swim ashore and obtain assistance. On the Lake St. John railroad the wash- outs by mountain torrents are of such mag- nitude that no through trains could run either Tuesday night or yesterday, and despite the fact that hundreds of men are at work repairing the damage, none can possibly run before Friday. ee ROYALIST PLANS FRUSTRATED. Admit Skerrett Ready to Assist the jovernment at Honelu! SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.—The steamer Alameda, just arrived from Sidney via Honolulu, brings news from the latter place of a conspiracy of royalists having been arranged to restore the queen on the 8th by firing the city, dynamiting the bulldings and then in the panic rushing in and capturing the government buildings. ‘The government was apprised of the plot, and Admiral Skerrett prepared to land his forces and assist in maintaining order. ‘This frustrated the plans of the conspir- ators, who had enlisted 300 natives as sol- diers for the plan, and had told them that the United States forces would help them. No public alarm was created at the time, and all continues quiet. a THEY STEAL A MARCH. An Important Amendment Secured by the Silver Men. After securing the passage of the bill by the House repealing the Sherman law the anti-silver men evidently felt that their work was done and saw no necessity of be- ing on guard at this time. ‘Therefore, to- day, while their forces were scattered, the silver men stole a march on them in the House and put them in a position to be perplexed and annoyed for the rest of the Congress. A large number of those men who managed to repeal the bill lid not seem to realize that they might be inter- ested in the rules of the House evea after that bill was passed. Today, while all the New York people, ‘excepting Cummings, Warner and Bartlett and a large number of anti-silver men were absent, the silver men secured the adoption of the umend- ment to the rules under discussion which gives the banking and currency conunittee and the committee on coinage, weights and measures the special privileges which is now given only to the ways and means and appropriation committees to bring in a bill and call it up for consideration at any time. ‘The thing started with « proposition Mfr. Catchings yielded to Mr. Springer to take to give the banking and currency commit- tee this privilege. Mr. Kilgore moved to amend by extending the privilege to the coinage, weights and measures also. Thus it is made possible for tne committee on coinage, weights and :avasures to bring in a free coinage bill, or aay other silver proposition, and to lannch the House ¢ gain into the discussion of the silver «juestion whenever they want to. The coinage com- mittee stands 9 to 8 for free coincxe, 80 that the importance and seriousnebs of this amendment to the rules put in so as t take the House by surprise can be readily appreciated, 2d EDITION. A TALK TO LAWYERS. Justice Brown Addresses the Bar Association. THE RETORN OF THE PRESIDENT. Se Exciting Scene Court. Justice with applause. Jastice Brown's Remarks. “Legislation can do much to improve the Telations between employes and employer, and to palliate the evils of the present sit- uation, It may fix the number of hours of @ legal day's work, provided that payment be made at certain stated periods, protect the Ife and health of the workingman against accidents or diseases arising from ill constructed machinery, badly ventilated rooms, defective appliances or dangerous occupations, and may limit or prohibit alto- gether the labor of women and children in employments injurious to their health or beyond their strength. It may go deeper still. Bearing in mind that the most griev- ous cause for complaint lies in monopolies and combinations, it may by constitutional amendment, if necessary, forbid the charter of business corporations ‘for any other pur- poses than those of mining, manufactur- ing, insurance or transportation, especially for farming or trading purposes, or traffick- ing in any manner in the necessaries Mfe. With the aid of the judicial power it may put an end to combinations having for their object the control and monopoly of particular articles of manufacture, or may accomplish the same purpose by authoriz- ing such articles to be placed temporarily upon the free list. “It may put a stop to the vicious system of building railways and other public works through construction companies organized by the directors of the road in thelr own interest, to whom all the bonds and sll the available stock is turned over, and equip- ping the same through car trust certificates, also issued to the directors, who thus re- tain to themselves title to the rolling stock —a most’ cunningly devised scheme, by whtch the stockholders and creditors are first defrauded for the benefit of the bond- holders, and the bondholders are thus de- frauded for the benefit of the directors. By the election of competent and fearless ex- ecutive officers the people may do much to secure the management of corporations for the benefit of the stockholders and the pub- lic, and may throttle those corporate Frank- ensteins, which, created by the legislature, have misused their powers to corrupt the will and paralyze the arm of their creators. Upon the other hand, it is equally its duty to protect the laboring man, whether union or non-union, in his right to work for whom and at such wages as he pleases, and to secure his person against violence. In pro- tecting the public against the tyranny of capital it is equally incumbent upon the legislature to guard it against the tyranny of labor.” A committee representing the National Real Estate Association appeared before the bar association and urged the desira- bility of a federal law governing real estate transactions. The real estate men desire uniformity in conveyancing. —— a HOLLANDERS CELEBRATE. Queen Wilhelmina’s Birthday Rem. bered at Chicago. WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS, Aug. 21.— Thousands of persons entering the cates of the exposition this morning wore upon their breasts a yellow silken ba: with the in- “Neer They had come to the fair to celebrate the birthday of their queen, the young lacy who in a measure guides the destiny of old Holland.

She 1s thirteen years old today, having already reigned about two years. This is the first great gathering of Hol- landers ever held in the west and many of them were in festival hail at 11 o'clock when the exercises of the day began. Geo. Birk- hoff, jr., royal commissioner general to the fair and consul of the Netherlands, acted brate.” After a song by the chorus G. J. Diekema, ex-speaker of the house of repre- sentatives of Michigan, delivered an address in English. His subject was “The Influen: of the Netherlands Upon the United State: Among other things, he said: * institutions, ke trees, are the results of | growth, and the great’ political tree under | the shelter of whose branches 60,000,000 of free men now dwell has its roots deeply im- bedded in the history of all quarters of the globe. “The historian who looks upon America simply as a transplanted England, does not understand the source and spirit of our in- neither does historical research confirm the theory of the overzealous Amer- the mighty brains of the pilgrim fathers.

H. Stu- benrauch of Pella, Towa, on “The Oblica- tions of the United States to the Holland- ers;” D. Bloker of Amsterdam on “Our young queen and what we think of her in Holland.” At the close of the exercises the audience visited the Javanese village. The festivi- ties were continued until late in the after- noon, the public being excluded. —— THE PRESIDENTS RETURN. ht Anchored in the Last Night.

Judges Dunne and Brentano had united in @ decision dissolving Judge Stein's in- junction and holding that the legislature was competent to delegate absolute au- thority to the directors. Judge Coggin dissented from this, and held that the fair gates should not be closed. When the three judges entered the bench Judge Coggin’ attempted to enter an order to continue the case for sixty days in an alleged attempt to defeat the decision concurred in by his two asso- clates. Judge Dunne, to whom the reading of the majority opinion had been entrusted, insisted on his right to do so. He read the opinion and Judge Goggin renewed his at- tempt to grant'a continuance. Ex-Judge Moran, representing the exposition com: pany, addressed the court, referring to the attempted continuance aS “Judicial an- archy.”” Judges Brentano and Dunne induced Judge Goggin to leave the bench and held @ conference with him in the chamber. After a brief absence Judges Brentano and Dunne returned to the bench and an- nounced that Judge Goggin no longer de- sired them in conference with him. Judge Goggin then entered an order overruling the motion to dissolve the injunction and refused ex-Judge Moran's request to set a dat¢ for hearing @ motion to vacate that order. ic oe IN WALL STREET TODAY. «- Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Disinfecting the Alleys. Health Officer Hammett has informed the Commissioners that all of the improved alleys of the District have been disinfected with a pat preparation, and that 152 unimproved alleys have been disinfected with slaked lime, leaving 2% unimproved al- leys yet to be similarly treated. As many of the alleys are in bad condition and need disinfection, as the use of lime cures the bad odors arising from them, and as the Process of disinfection has a good moral as well as physical effect upon the com- munity, it is important that the work so well begun and so nearly finished be com- pleted. He estimates that $206 will cover the expense of completing the work and re- quests the Commissioners to make such am allotment. ns CAPITOL TOPICS.
