SYLVESTER BIR, \ well-known grocer in rew Albany, Ind., writes: ‘My oldest daughter, when s child, was a greatsufferer from Scrofula, having three sores on one side of her neck andone on the other. I used AYERS Sarsaparilla, and so effective was the result that the sores healed rapidly, leaving only their scars behind. She isnow a woman, in good health, Ihave ‘no doubt that her life was saved BY THE USE OF AYER'S Sersaparilla. It has also proved equally beneficial with my other children, who were troubled with the same disease.” “‘Scrofula in my blood caused painful sores to break out on my left leg and arm, and‘but for thouse of AYER'S Sarsaparilla would, I think, im time, have covered me from head to foot.

Labor Devolving Upon the House Clerk’s and Postmaster's Burena. The law of last Congress, authorizing the appointment of clerks to members of the House of Representatives, who are not, as chairmen of committees provided with that useful adjunct to the transaction of public business, has devolved a large amount of addititional labor, upon the forces of the Clerk's and postmaster’s bureaus. The organization of the House fs different from that of the Senate, a fact which accounts for the interest the clerk has in the change. While the sergeant-at-arms is banker for the members of the House, the salary ac- count., of the employes are all kept by the clerk, Even the sergeant-at-arms cannot pay himself. Therefore ‘it will be readily seen that the addition of about 325 accounts to the number heretofore in charge of the clerk, as disbursing officer, means no small amount of labor. In preparing for the work, Clerk Kerr found it necessary to provide a form of receipt which would pass the serutiny of the accounting officers of the treasury, and it was only after several in- terviews with the controller of the curi and solicitor of the treasury that a satl factory and comprehensive form was adop' ed. ‘The terms of the law were rather peculiar, and in themselves furnished sufile- fent reason for the difficulty experienced in getting a form that would pass, The law prescribed that “on and after April 1, 1898, each member and delegate of the House of Representatives, may on the first day of every month during sessions of Congress certify to the clerk the amount which he has paid or agreed to pay for clerk hire necessarily employed by him in the discharge of his official and representa. tive duties during the previous month * * provided that the amount shall not exceed #100 for any month during the session.” The members, generally, were of opinion that the clerk would settle with their per- sonal representatives, as with other employ- es, but the law does not recognize the clerks at all in the transactioa, so that the accounts are opened with the members themselves. And they must arrange for payment to the clerks. So far as known there are no excep- tions to the lst; every member has elther paid or agreed to pay $80.50 a month for necessary clerk hire performed for him dur- ing that part of August in which the House was in session. Clerk Kerr construed the law to include the Speaker as being entitled to a clerk, inasmuch as the only committee of which he is a member (being chairman ex-officio)— that of the rules, has no clerk. Mr. Kerr inquired whether or not the Speaker desired to have an account onened for a clerk, but Mr. Crisp said he believed he could worry along without one. With this addition to the sum of money handled In his office, Clerk Kerr will dis- burse about $1,000,000 annually. 2d EDITION. CUP DEFENDERS REST Preparing For Another Race of the Sloops. Thieves Sandbag a Cashier and Get $8,000. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. GOT AWAY WITH $8,000. Thieves Sandbag a Chicago Cashier id Steal the Money He Was Counting CHICAGO, Sept. 8&—Two sandbaggers took $8,000 from the counting room of the Pabst Brewing Company's supply house at Desplaines and Indiana streets last aight, having first made the cashier insensible by a blow on the side of the head with a blud- geon. H. Gruschow, the cashier, had been count- ing the money, which was all in bills. When nearly through he heard a knock at the door. When t was repeated a minute later he opened the door. Two men stood, one behind the other, in the dark hall. Gruschow had only time to notice the fact, when he was felled to the floor wth a sand bag. ‘When he recovered he looked on the| ™ counter for the money. It was all gone excepting about $100 in small bills, which the thieves had swept from the counter cn to the floor in their haste. The watchman who had been about the building came in just after Gruschow had discovered the joss of the money. He had met a man a few minutes before coming out of the building in great haste. He started out to look, but there was no one around. eee MEASURE OF THE VIGILANT. It Will Be Taken Again—The Valky- rie Not Sighted Yet. NEW YORK, Sept. &—The Vigilant will probably be measured again this ufter- noon. Mr. Iselin when seen at the New York Yacht Club at Bay Ridge this morning said: “The last time the Vigilant was meas- ured the water was very rough and I do not think the measurement then taken was correct. On the remeasurement I think there will be a difference of two inches in the two measurements in our favor. This will give us the race by one second. Lord Dunraven's cutter, the Valkyrie, which satled from Southampton August for this port, had not been sighted up to} Pi 1 o'clock today. Her arrival may be looked for at any moment. The four big sloops that are being tried as defenders of the America’s cup lay at the anchorage at Bay Ridge today getting ready for tomorrow's race. The crews of the Boston boats were busy repairing the damage done yesterday which compelled them to withdraw and they sald they would certainly be ready at the next starting gun. ‘As soon as yesterday’s race was over and the yachts had anchored, the America’s cup committee left the flagship May, on which they had sailed, and visited the four yachts to @ake arrangements for the next Face, 5 ee WILL RESUME WORK. at Carnegie Esta! ment Duquesne to Start on Monday. PITTSBURG, Sept. 8.—A notice has been posted at the Carnegie steel works at Du- quesne that all departments of the works will be put in operation next Monday. ‘Two thousand men will be given employ- ment at the following terms: of 10 per cent in all departments except where employes are pgid 13 cents per hour in which case a reduction of 1 cent per hour will be mede, and except also in case of salaried men who have recently had a re- duction. READING, Pa., Sept. 8—The employes at the Philadelphia and Reading railroad The |car and machine shops in this city were notified yesterday that they will hereafter work six days of nine hours each Instead of five days a week. This order was sent to all of the company’s shops along the en- tire line. TROY, N. ¥., Sent. &—The mill prospect in Troy ana vicinity continues to improve. Curtis & €o.,collar manufacturers, resumed today, putting, 400 hands at work on full time. ‘The Diamond knitting mill at Waterford will resume Monday with 200 hands and the collar factory of Miller, Hall & Hartwell of this city will start up on the same day. The Orkney knitting mill, 100 hands, and the Himes knitting mill, 200 hands, will be started at Cohoes on Monday. seer ea GIVEN TO THE JURY. Awaiting a Verdict in the Conspiracy Case at Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. &—Judge Col- Mer this morning complimented the jury in the Westinghouse conspiracy case for their intelligence and patient hearing of the trial and then occupied fifteen minutes in de- lvering his charge and the jury retired at 9:59 o'clock. Mr. Ashton, the principal witness for the Prosecution, was not in the court today. The defendants: were all present and with their attorneys appeared as cheerful as ever. At noon no word had been received from the jury. Charles Christian and Francis Carey, the boys who stole the blue prints for Ashton, were called for trial this morning and en- tered a plea of guilty. Sentence was de- ferred. ——— ‘TROUBLE EXPECTED. Condemned Choctaws to Be Executed Today. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 8.—A special to the Chronicle from Wilberton, I. T., says that the execution of the condemned Choctaws. will take place today, and that a riot may occur. —_—. -— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘To Preserve the Treen. N. W. King writes to the Commissioners today concerning the condition of the old maple trees on New York avenue. These trees, he says, are fast decaying and proper steps should be taken to preserve them by skillful pruning. They are among the old- est trees in Washington and are laden with dead wood and suckers, and it {s belfeved that a careful use of the saw and pruning knife before the leaves have fallen will add to their beauty and continue their ex- istence for years. Building Permits. The following building permits were is- sued today by the building inspector: Mary 0. D. Adams, one frame, Gth street ex- tended, $1,200; J. P. Alexander, one frame, Sheridan avenue, Barry Farm, $200; Thomas Sullivan, two frames, Conduit road, $1,600. Contract Awarded. The contract for furnishing the steam plant for the Central High school has been awarded to G. R. Herbert. Miscellaneous. The Commissioners have received a pe- tition from a number of property owners on 82d street urging them to change the width of the sidewalk on that street from M to N streets so that the roadway can be widened. ‘The lot adjoining the Curtis school build- g in Georgetown has been offered tu the Commissioners by Mr. L. M. Saunders at 80 cents per square foot. Andrew Archer in a letter to the Commis- sioners has protested against the noisy dances held in the house at the corner of 6th and I streets southeast. ‘The Commissioners have authorized the disbursing clerk of the District to employ an assistant for two weeks at © per day. The Commissioners heve authorized the appointment of a temporary overseer at the Washington Asylum at $0 per month. Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been tssued by the clerk of the court to the following: Ernest Carroli Hazen and Evelyn M. Allen; George A. Rowe and Louisa J. Day of Bladens- burg, Md.; John W. Miller and Hannah Link; George M. Cheshire and Laura A. Graney, both of Alexandria, Va.; Francis J. Martin and Annie M. Mitchell; Carl Beuchart and Eliza Franghausea; James H.

A reduction | DROP IN CHICAGO Gas. The Rest of the List Declines for While in Sympathy. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Sept. &—Today’s market started off well with prices slightly in ad- vance of last night's closing, but a break in Chicago Gas led to a sympathetic decline in the remainder of the list. The break was caused by the official an- nouncement made late yesterday afternoon that the People’s Gas Light and Coke Com- pany, one of the companies controlled by the trust, would issue $8,000,000 in first mortgage bonds. This issue will be suffi- cient to redeem’ outstanding bonis of the company, and leave a surplus of over $3,- 000,000 in the treasury. The scrip dividend of 11-2 per cent, to represent the earnings of the current quarter, and issued by this company, will be payable October 2 to stockholders of record September 21. The general lst quickly recovered from the effects of the decline, and continued strong and dull throughout the morning. | ‘At 12:30 the announcement that $405,000 clearing house certificates had been can- Rated by the loan committee led to a sharp rally. Time money is daily becoming more plen- tiful, and this fact, coupled with the as- sessment of 10 per cent ordered by the controller on all certificates now outstand- ing, should lead to the early retirement of the entire issue. The continued strength of the market is a direct violation of prece- dent, and overthrows all theorles as to its Probable course. A reaction would not be unwholesome nor unnatural after the re- cent rise, even though a third of the gain was lost in the proces: —— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘The followine are the opening, the hiehest and th lowert and the closing nrices of the Row York stock Ns Contare of jew z New York Gontrel, ay. aoe Washington Stock Exchange.

A Disorderly Demonstration at Eck- ington This Morning. On Ist street extended through Eckington Messrs. George S. Good & Co. have a num- ber of laborers, white and colored, at work excavating for a sewer for the District. ‘The pay given ts $1 per day. This morning the colored men struck for an increase of wages and demanded that the Italians, some half a dozen or more, join them. Thi the latter refused to do and quietly co! tinued their work. Not getting the advance of the foreman, they demanded of him an immediate settlement, but this he refused, promising to pay them tomorrow. There were Indications of disort Policeman Hendricks of the eighth precinct appeared on the scene, but soon found that he could not cope with the strikers and sent off for the reserves, who responded from the eighth precinct. The colored men attacked the half dozen Italians who were still in the ditch, but the reserves arriving, the strikers made off and order was restored. ———— Mail Service. Advertisements for mail service were bul- letined at the Post Office Department this morning as follows: Jewell to Maddox, Ala., once a week, open until September 21.

There the strawberry and the orange ripen in June as they do in De- cember; there one drinks water sterilized in the great work shop of nature and charged with carbonic acid gas so that it pearls like finest champagne, vieing in purity with the waters of the most noted spas in Europe. “There consumptives live without a hem: orrhage or even a cough. There Koch’s bacillus need never be sought or feared. There asepsis need hardly be employed in surgery, for there the air 1s so pure that meat exposed to it remains unchanged in- terminably, Honduras is proud that it was the first Latin-American country to adopt the North American system of public education. (Ap- Plause). It was the first country of the American ‘ropics to iretitute the iiberty of ‘the press (applause)—iife’s great post-grad- wate school. (Applause). In consequence it expects to emulate the United States, save in the matter of size. (Laughter). You read much of political disturbances and seismic convuleions in Honduras. Dur- ing the past thirty-five years there were but four changes of government—one ex- president is now living abroad and another, after two consecutive terms of office, 18 farming in Honduras. This shows that a presidential term does not expire by bul- lets, but by ballots, and as to earthquakes and voleanic eruptions, not one bas oc- curred-in nearly half a century. Yet Honduras is not recognized as fully as it merits; it will be as soon as this practically undeveloped land is placed within six days’ travel from the port of New York, and that will be in less than twelve months. Then the glorious star- spangled banner will greet the modest blue, white and blue of Honduras in brotherly salutation. (Applause). Then the greatest people in the history of mankind will know and consequently reciprocate the sentiments in which it is held by its little sister. Then science will achieve another of its tri- umphs—the way being pointed out by the first Pan-American medical congress. Eecutive Committee's Report. At the close of Dr. Valentine's address | Dr. Reed read the report of the interna- tional executive committee, which has been in active session during all the days of the congress. The report was a very consider- {| able document and after arranging for a permanent organization of the different | Sections went on to give the action taken upon the various resolutions and other matters referred to it from the congress. ‘The most important of these were resolu. tions from the section of hygiene, clim tology and demography, which has been the most active of ali the sections. These resolutions have already been for the most printed in The Star. Among other matters treated were the propositions looking to- ward the establishment of national de- partments of health in the various coun- tries represented and the entire suspen- sion of immigration from cholera infected ports. The report closed with a resolution of tharks to the President and Congress of the United States for the interest they have shown tn the Pan-American congress, the surgeons general of the army and navy for the courtesies extended to the delegates, to the general officers of the congress through whose activity and energy much of its success is due, to the committee of arrangements, who have done so much for | the comfort and pleasure of the delegates and their families, and to the lay press, which has so fully ard satisfactorily re- ported the proceedings of the congress and of the different sections. These resolutions were passed one by one and with unani- mous and enthusiastic votes. Hygienic Resolution. When Dr. Reed had finished, President Pepper arose and said that all that now re- mained was the consideration of new busi- ness that might be presented to the con- Sress. Medical Director Gihon, U. 8. N., presented the following resolutions sent up from the section on hygiene: inbesclved by this section, that the follow- ig resolutions ded to the resolutions already adopted and reported to the gens eral session relative to temporary suspen- sion of immigration, to wit: Resolved, that in the opinion of this sec- tion the thorough disinfection, without dis- crimination, of every piece of baggage, dun- nage, or article of personal effects belo! ing to the immigrant classes and to crews of immigrant ships, and the exaction of scrupulous cleanliness of all vessels arriv- Ing at Pan-American ports should be rigid. ly enforced at American ports, supplement- ing and enhancing the protective value of similar treatment at the ports of departure, especially at times when cholera exists in Europe, as a sanitary Precaution, second only in efficiency and importance to the temporary suspension of {immigration. Resolved, that it 1s also the opinion of this section that the habitual and thorough disinfection of all personal effects lable to carry contagion of immigrants to the American hemisphere, and of dunnage of crews of vessels carrying the immigrants from any quarter of the globe, and the ex- action of scrupulous cleanliness of all ves. sels arriving at American ports shou:] be | enforced at all times as the most efficient means of greatly lessening the tntroduc- tion into this hemisphere of the seeds of various contagious diseases, which are now and have been in the past almost constantly conveyed by the immigrant classes and dis- tributed widely among the population of this hemisphere. Pleasant Expressions. At the conclusion of the business of the morning Dr. Pepper announced that all that was left was a brief but formal inter- change of pleasant expressions from the different delegates. Dr. Phillipo of Jamaica was requested by Dr. Pepper to make a few concluding re- marks. Ir response, Dr. Phillipo made a happy and appropriate address emphast: ing the apprectation of his fellow practi- tioners for the generous cordiality and hos- pitality extended during the interesting sessions of the congress. Mr. Ernest Hart of England, who made suc a sensation by his address on medical ethics yesterday, was then called upon to say a few words on behalf of the guests from across the water. He made a pleasant address, in which he hoped that the pres- ence of foreign guests at this congress would still further strencthen the federa- tion existing among brethren of the medical profession the world over. Dr. Rafael Lavista of the City of Mex- ico, where the next meeting of the congress is to be held, made a pleasant Ittle address on behalf of the Latin-speaking delegates. After presenting a vote of thanks to the different railroads who fmve so courteously treated the delegates in every way, Presi- dent Pepper pronounced the congress ad- journed, to meet again in Mexico either In 1895 or 1897. In so doing Dr. Pepper referred briefly to the needs which had existed for such an organization as this Pan-American congress, which creates firm relations of amity and co-operation among the medical men of all the countries which had sent their representatives to take part in its pro- ceedings. He spoke of the organization of this congress as a notable step forward in the progress of science on this hemisphere. Gracefully thanking the congress for the courteous treatment they had accorded him in his position as president of the body, Dr. Pepper pronounced the congress adjourned. The River Excursion. The delegates to the medical congress were entertained last night on an ex- cursion on the Potomac, for which the big steamboat Columbia was brought here from Baltimore. About 90 persons took the trip on the boat, which went down the river as far as Indian Head and returned without making a stop. The excursion party left at 5:80 o'clock and returned to the city a Uttle after 10 o'clock. The Marine Band was aboard, and these & continuous band concert during the evening. A buffet supper was served. The guests expressed themselves as much pleased with the trip. Nearly all of the distinguished members of the congress were present, and besides many Washington physicians, who acted as osts. ‘The American Medical Association. At a meeting of a special committee of the American Medical Association held at the Riggs House yesterday afternoon it was resolved to recommend to the general business committee of the association a change from the first Tuesday In Ma-, 1894, to the third Tuesday in May. This change is desired because it will afford a better opportunity for physicians generally to at- tend at that time. es See Today's Contracts.

SILVER MEN AGREEABLE. ae eens Mr. Faulkner of West Virginia, in his Speech in the Senate today, presented the Proposition which can bring the silver question to a settlement at once if the ad- ministration is willing to make any com- Promise whatever. The proposition ts that which was given in ‘The Star several days ago, and it contemplates doing as little for silver as can be done, and do anything. | ‘There may be no warrant for a doubt that in time the administration forces can secure | the passage of the Voorhees bill without | amendment, but the question comes up for consideration by them whether it would not be better to secure immediate action on the bill with a very moderate compromise, | which would admit of the claim on the part of the silver men that they had got some- thing, than to secure the affoption of the bill as it is only after indefinite delay. Another questio urged for consideration is the Ganger of a split in the democratic party, as an organization, if the adminis- tration should succeed in forcing the re- peal of the Sherman law without any sort of financial legislation to follow, an should stubbornly refuse to grant anything to those of the party who believe in bimetal- lism. It is held, that while a himetsllist may consistently insist upon the Immediate repeal of the Sherman law, he cannot stop there and call it an end of legislation on the subject. Therefore many Senators, while granting that, in time, the adminis- tration can get the Voorhees bill through the Senate, insist that it would be bad polt- cy to do this in a way to destroy all hope of any sort of concession to the bimetallists of the south and west. Silver Men Will Accept It. While the proposition which Mr. Faulkner makes is not what the silver men want by any means there is every reason to be- Meve that they would accept it at this time, in the hope of getting something better from some other Congress. Faulkeer is a bimetallist who is a supporter of the ad- ministration and will vote for the Voor- hees bill, though it should not be amended [THE CLOSING SCENES COMPROMISE TALK.|MR.FAULKNER’SPLAN. (Continued from First page.) Gold and silver, although stamped with the sovereign seal of the nation was governed and controlled by the same principles that influenced other commodities. Believing that this law had no exception, whatever amount of colnage to be determined upon as equaling the domestic demands, he thought should be maintained at the pres- ent ratio. Mr. Faulkner saw no solution of this problem except international bi- metallism. England hed always been and was today a stumbling block to the inaugu- ration of ternational bimetalliem, but England had to face today a condition that had never before existed, and, convinced that her national interesis demanded the adoption of the double standard she would at once remove the only obstacle to the accomplishment of that bimetallism. Why He Votes & Repeal. “I shall vote for the repeal of the pure chasing clause of the act of 1399,” said Mr, Faulkner, “not for the reason that I be- lieve it is the cause of the prostration of our business industries and our financial stringency, nor that it has induced a want of confidence on the port of the people im the integrity and stability of our financial system, but for three good and suflicient reasons: First. The authority and direction it con- | fers upon the Secretary «f the Treasury j to enter the markets and purchase 4,50,00 ounces of silver monthly, without ary limit a8 to the time when this accumulation of bullion shall cease, presents a constant Menace, and tends to depress the price of silver bullion, The act is founded upon~a false theory as to the proper functions of government in its -elatims to money, and furnishes a vicious precedent for the future. Second. In the execution of its provi sions, especially in the storing of the bull- fon and the issue of treasury notes, it has been the fruitful source of the strongest arguments against the use of silver as © part of our monetary syst Third. The people bel however er Toneously, that the disturbances through which we are passing are mainly due to this act, and lke any other “taith cure,” its repeal (which is proper in any event) ‘Will assist in restoring conidence, the want of which is the chief obstacle to the restor- ation of business activity His Proposed Amendment. “Mr. President, although I shall vote to repeal the purchasing claus: of the act of 1890, I certainly hope I may not be called upon to do so without having first mpcured an amendment to the bill now pending be- fore the Senate which will, by law, end not by a mere declaration, give notice to the world that this government will exercise all tts powers, employ all its resources, and throw the weight of its great influence favor of the re-establishment of «ver op an equality with gold as a stenlard of value. It may not be the part of wisdom to attempt to establish that result at this ‘time, under the con litions affecting the white metal throughout the world, but pro- vision should at least be made by amendment for additional coinage of full legal tender silver dollars at the present retio to an amount that would be rapidly absorbed “in the business transactions of this country, the aggregate umount, in- in any particular. His amendment con-| cluding that already colued and the sliver templates doing something for silver, but about as little as it is possible. It would, im practical results, stop all surchases of silver for about four years, until the bull- fon in the treasury should all be coined, and would limit the purchases and coinage after that to two hundred millions. Whether the purchases would ever be re- sumed would depend much upon the condi- tions existing and the state of the public sentiment between now and the time the bullion in the treasu-y should all be coined, for the law might be repealed before the re- newal of the purchases. On the other hand, {f silver should gain favor during the period of suspension an amendment might be adopted by some Congress enlarging the use of that metal. In other words it st the purchase of silver and postpones the question of whether it is to be used at all for several years. A Vote to Be Had st Once. Consultations have disclosed a willing- ness on the part of the sflver men to let the matter go that way, and it is said that if Mr. Faulkner's proposition had the sanc- tion of the administration a vote could be had at once and the whole matter be set- tled within a day. Faulkner's proposition contemplates the coinage of the silver bul- lion at the rate of three millions a month, but it is asserted that most of the silver men would agree to the coinage at the rate of two millions per month, which would make still longer the time of the suspen- sion of purchase. They would agree to this with the idea that another Congress might amend the law in the interest of silver. It is probable, even, that the silver men would permit an immediate vote on the Voorhees bill without any amendment if this proposed amendment would be permitted to become @ law as a separate measure. It is in this way that a compromise ts being talked about, but up to the present bullion in the treasury, which should be @irected to be coined, not to be less them 3800,000,000, the coinage required to be not less than $3,080,000 per month until It reach« es the aggregate limit. The most conserva tive should not fear the passaze and «ve- cution of such a law. The limit being es- tablished it would constitute no menace to financial stability, and the capacity of the country, with its immense businces In- terests, to absorb that amount, after the withdrawal of notes of less denomination than $10, none who are familiar with busi- ness demands can question. I hope at the proper time to submit suca an amendment, upon which the sense of the Senate may be taken. His Faith in the Future. “Mr. President, although { have express: ed with perfect frankness and sincerity the opinions I now hold as to the course which it seems to me best to pursue in the interest of future Dimetailivm, yet I have such confidence in the wisdom Pa- | triotism of those who have been friendly |to the double staniard that I shall not hesitate to exercise my judgment, and vo:« as I may deem best for the public inter- ests upon any amendments that may be Submitted during the consideration of thie “Mr. President, history is replete with instances in which ‘man’s inhumanity to man’ has made ‘countless thousunds mourn,’ but a widesproad public senti- ment, ‘awakening to injustice and oppres- sion,” has always redressed in time the crimes, blunders and follies of preceding years. Surrounded as we are by the com- Plications of the present and the uncertain- ties of the future, we can but hope that we will see st no distant day a confetence of the nations, each member snimated and impelled by ‘motives of the purest national and universal patriotism, calied to settle time no indication has been received that | Mr. Cleveland would agree to any amend- ment to the Voorhees bill, and it is belleved by those who think they know his state of mind that he would not. 1t would be very distasteful to Mr. Voorhees himseif to have @ compromise enter Into his bill after he has taken the position he now occupies in defense of the position of the administra- n. “there may be some chance, however, of an agreement by which the Feulkner amendment will be accepted as an inde- pendent measure, as a matter of party ex- pediency, ‘Was Not Invited. A New York special states that an invita- tion was sent to Senator Voorhees to visit New York and consult with the Wall street bankers, and that he paid no attention to the invitation. Consequently the bankers are represented as being angry with the In- diana Senator and as criticising both him and Mr. Gorman for not forcing a vote on the Voorhees bill. This was shown Mr. Voorhees today. He says he has no knowledge of any invitation to visit New York at this time to confer with Wall street bankers or for any other purpose, but he says no number of invita- tions will induce him to be absent from his Seat in the Senate a single hour until the ‘cowardly makeshift” is fully and thor- oughly repealed. Aqueduct Detailed. Col. George H. Elliot, corps of engineers, has made a report of operations on the Washington aqueduct and the recetving reservoir during the month of August. He Says that the excavation of the open cut of approach to the portal of the main @rainage tunnel of the receiving reservoir is completed and that It has been found necessary to timber thirty-eight feet of it to prevent dangerous slips from the sides of the cut. The tunnel heading was ex- cavated for a distance of 110 feet and the bench was taken up for a distance of % feet. The rock through which the tunnel has 80 far been driven was so bad that it required timbering the entire distance. All the water, steam and air connections with the air compressor have been completed, the water tank put in place and the air pipe laid from the compressor to the tunnel. A temporary railwey track was laid from the tunnel to the dump, a distance of about SW feet. The dynamite magazine was com- pleted and stocked. Thirteen boundary stones were cut for marking the boundaries of the various parcels of land to be pur- Chased for the main drainage tunnel. Pay- ment has been made to Ignatius Belt for one of three parcels. A contract has been made with the American Forcite Powder Manufacturing Company for furnishing 18,00 pounds gelatine tunnel dynamite and 8,000 exploders. Contracts for supplies have been made with B. E. Jackson & Co., Thos. W. Smith, J. E. Libbey, Hugh Reilly and Chas. Becker. In regard to. the work on the aqueduct he says that he took advantage of the low stage of the Potomac to replace the rip- rap backing of the dam at Great Fails, which had been removed by freshets of the last two winters. The total amount of rip-rap replaced was 9% cubic yards, em- bracing a total length of 2,039 feet. Col. Eliot says it is not proposed to make any expenditures on the aqueduct or the works connected with it from the current appro- priation for repairs until later in the season. ————— ee Mail Contracis, Contracts for mail service’ were let today as follows: Saunderton, Pa., to Blooming Glen, N.

Thereupon the that his remedy was the needed, and rubbed her cums and the contents of a small bottle which from his satchel. The girl informed Mra, Rush that she almost immediately became Unconscious and knew nothing more until found lying on the floor by her employer. Placing ‘the utmost confidence story of the girl, Mra. Rush had veyed to Freedman'’s Hospital, and searching the house discovered the bery. Inspector Hollinberger smiled Mrs. Rush had finished her story, tonished her by remarkine: “A very Job, indeed, madam. But if the girl the stolen ‘stuff she knows where it Mrs. Rush, however, would not so and left with her faith ip the an i = ir 53% nh it to quarters, where, after sticking to her won- derful story for quite a while, she finally down and admitted that the story Was false in every particular, and that the stolen stuff would be found ‘in the stable, where she hid it. The officers then took the zirl out to the house of Mrs. Ri where a $20 and a % gold piece were Secreted in the stable. That was all that could be found. Last evening, however, some of the Jewelry was found in the alley in the rear of the house. Upon being brought back to police head- quarters, the girl stated to a Star reporter that shortly after Mrs. Rush left the house yesterday morning a colored man named Henry Ward, a friend of hers, called and was admitted to the house. She took him into the bed rocm and, while they were there the door bell rang. Just then Ward was looking over the contents of the bu- reau end had in his hand Mrs. Rush's pocket book. He ran out into the alley, dropping the two gold pieces from. the pocket book. She picked them up and secreted them in the stable. Mrs. Rush had particularly enjoined her, the girl stat- 4, 2gainst admitticg any one to the house, and the story of the rirence white man and chloroform was intended to prevent Mrs. Rush from knowing thst she had Aisobeyed her instructions. Jennie further stated that she was from New York, and had never been arrested before. The of- ficers at police headquarters, however, judging from her very clever job, are in clined to believe that she is a professional
