An Interesting Gathering at the Church of Our Father. THE DELEGATES PRESENT. Four years ago, in the city of Lynn, Mass., representatives of about fifty various young People’s societies connected with the Uni- Versalist Church met and organized a na- tional unton, which has since been known as the Young People’s Christian Union. From that small beginning it has grown into a body with ramifications in all sections of the country, numbering in all 253 organiza- tions, of which fifteen are state unions and 238 local societies. It has a membership of ‘over 12,000 individuals. The fourth annual convention of the na- tional union met this morning at the Church of Our Father, corner of 13th and L streets, Several hundred people were present, most of whom were young men and women dele- gates from the various societies. The con- vention lasts today and tomorrow, after which will begin the regular general conven- tion of the Universalist Church, which will commence tomorrow evening, ‘The exercises of the day were opened by & praise and devotional meeting, subject, “Our Watchword for Today: Go.” He- brews, xii, 10. The meeting was led by Mr. Perry ‘D. Gath of Zanesville, Ohio, the President of the Ohio State Union. This meeting lasted for an hour and was interspersed with prayer and the singing of hymns. At its conclusion Dr. Rogers,pastor of the Church of Our Father, made a few pleasant remarks, in the course of which he spoke of the assistance which he had re- celved in his own labors from the members of the ¥. P. U. of his church. Then he in- troduced the Fresident of the local union, Mr. A. S. Yantis, to deliver the formal ad- dress of welcome. Mr. Yantin’ Speech of Welcome. In the course of his remarks Mr. Yantis said: “We greet you in the name of that higher and nobler culture whose apostles you are, and to the wider diffusion of which your examples are so helpful. We recognize in you the lay champions of a beneficent faith, whose ample authority 1s found in the in- dissohuble tles of fatherhood and brother- “We rejoice that in the onward march of truth to @ more universal recognition of its rightful sovereignty this church has furnished in you a contributing force whose share in the glory of final achievement must, indeed, be a generous one. “I can imagine nothing more profoundly impressive than a combination of forces and influences consecrated to the work of making human life better and sweeter. It symbolizes manliness and womanliness in their best interpretation. There is no am- bition more honorable, and no activity more useful. It is the realization of the best type of chivalry, “To teach a broader humanity, to em- phasize the spirit of brotherhood, to stand before the world as the exponents of a practical Christianity whose precept and ex- ample contribute to purity and happiness in this life rather than the avoidance of fictitious horrors in the next, is the asser- tion of principles and aims that ennoble their defenders and in the widespread ac-, ceptance of which the race will find: fruitful scurce of its noblest impulses. “And as I stand before you, deeply touch- ed by all the suggestions that flow from this occasion, I am greatly honored in being Dermitted to occupy a position that derives hs dignity from such exalted sources. “For myself and the society which I have the honor to represent, I propose to extract from this convention something which I know you will be glad to share with us—your progressive spirit, your vital- izing energy, and your power to compel results. We want to profit by your larger experience. We want our ideas and meth- ods expanded and broadened by your ac- cumulated wisdom. We want to learn from you and grow upon the food which makes you so strong.” ‘This address was received with applause and the president of the convention, Mr. Herbert B. Briggs, called upon Mr. J. Thomas Moore of Philadelphia to respond to the welcome. Mr. Moore is one of the most enthusiastic and earnest workers in the union, of which he has been a member since {ts ‘organization, and a member of the executive board since the Lynn conven- tion. Mr. Moore's address was in the form of a grateful expression of thanks on be- half of the members of the convention for the hospitable entertainment and the wel- come they had received in this city. A Gavel With a History. A pleasant incident of the morning ses- sion was the presentation of a gavel to the president of the National Union by Secre- tary Tillinghast on behalf of Mr. W. H. Luden of Reading, Pa. This gavel will ever be a memorial of the Union's conven- tion in Reading last year. The gavel is of solid oak from the house of Dr. Geo. De Benneville at Oley, near Reading, and ts laid with wood from the pew benches from the church built by Thos. Potter at Good Luck, N. J., where Rev. John Murray first promulgated in this country the doc- trines of Universalism. The gavel was received by President Briggs in a few well-chosen remarks, in etc * Oe oa a paying.

President Briggs’ Address. Mr. Briggs then read his first annual ad- dress as president of the national union. During the four years that have passed since the union was organized in Lynn, Mass., it has grown until it now numbers 12,000 active workers in all sections of the land. He showed how the work had been pushed during the past year and the methods used in raising funds to aid in church and missionary work. President Briggs’ report showed the national union to be in @ satisfactory and prosperous con- dition from a financial as well as spiritual point of view. In the course of his address the president urged a greater devotion to the work and among other matters recom- mended the establishment* of Buds of Promise bands for little children, the pub- Ucation of state papers, the raising of funds ota more bitter Satire apna ee etal re al % upon the legalized Yo People and Missions. ‘The chief address of the morning was de- livered by Mr. Charles Mayo Harrington of Worcester, Mass., treasurer of the Massachusetts State Union. He had as his subject “The Claims of Missions Upon Our Young People.” Upon this theme he de- livered an informal but earnest and elo- quent talk, asking for a more thorough consecration to the cause, and pointing out where and how young men and young Women can do effective missionary work. He laid stress upon what can be accomplished by apparently trifling but continuous effort, small but regular con- tributions and a patient devotion to the accomplishment of seemingly unimportant ings. At the conclusion of this address Secre- tary Tillinghast read his report for the year since the last convention. He said that the growth was comparatively smaller than in previous years, but that this did not imply any retardation in its work, but was due to the fact that the National $6 per er 1,000. $8 per $6 per $6 per 36 per $6 per 30 per per $6 36 36 per 1; 36 per t 1,000, 36 por Hove: $8 be SEESEEESIS 2 2 es 3 6 $6 $6 36 28 WW 1 BK 1 1 5:3 Es 8 E EVERY SHINGLE GUARANTEED.

Republicans May Not Support a Democratic Compromise, THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE. A Significant Question by a Re- publican Senator. TIED UP BY THE RULES. The ugly head of “party politics” has raised itself above the murky surface of what has come to be known as “the Sen- ate situation.” It is now said that those republicans Who have been supporting the repeal bill have made up their minds to antagonize any compromise measure that may be brought forward by the democrats. The fact is that the sole organized effort to prepare a compromise measure has been made by a committee of seven Senators who represent the various attitudes on the western side of the chamber. These are Senators Faulkner, Gorman, Gray, Cam- den, classed as repealers, Harris and Cock- rell, absolutely opposed to repeal, and Ran- som who is an uncertain quantity in all calculations, But they are all democrats, and the re- publicans who have helped to press the measure so far claim that they should have been taken into account in the preparation of @ schedule of concessions that is being drawn up. Today this fact was having its effect upon the movements of the compro- mise committee, and they were working more slowly. Rumors, too, have reached the Senate that Secretary Carlisle has been virtually quoting the President when he Says that no compromise advances will be mass by the administration. lemocratic leaders do thelr best efforts in the way of compromioe made capital of by re- the floor this morning, Senator Aldrich asked Senator Veit, "whe Was discussing the proposition to change the rules, what the democratic Senators Propose to do when the elections bill and tariff question come before the Senate. ‘That question is taken to indicate that the Party lines are being drawn with more strictness now that the first rush of the repeal is over. The disposition of the re- Dublican repealers to break away from the quorum to attend to political fields far from here is taken to be a danger signal, and the compromise committee believe that they are working in the best interests of things in general in letting up a little on the talk of democratic conferences, such as has been floating around for two or three days past. So far as the free silver men are con- cerned, they are in a better mood and a better position than ever. They are more thoroughly masters of the situation than before the repeal republicans showed signs of fretting under the strange yoke that harnessed them with thelr political enemies. Every crack that develops in the fabric of the repeal wall opens a little stream of talk and gossip that stiffens the silver back- me. Senator Hill was placed in a peculiar Position this morning when he undertook to correr Senator Vest in his statement that the repeal bill had absolutely no chance of passage. He asked thé Missouri Senator by what authority he made that assertion, and the reply was curt and Prompt: “If the Senator from New York Sapnot yea the truth after looking at the Tul Senate and the calendar of : ¢ not the vanity ts" peint out itter hopelessness of the bill's A moment later Mr. Hill asked: “Why can this bill not pass? Because we are tied hand and foot by antiquated rules that Permit the tyranny of minorities!” acs oat SENATOR JONES’ SPEECH. It Was Listened to With the Greatest Attentio ‘The Senate, by the motion of Mr. Voor- hees, adjourned at 5 o'clock Saturday after- noon, earlier than it has since the “era of business” began with the llo'clock meetings. Progress has apparently been made on the compromise measure that 1s being pushed by the democrats who are anxious to close the breach that has been made in the ranks of the party, though yesterday Senators Gorman and Faulkner, who have been most energetic in the work, were out of town. The former visited his home in Laurel, and the latter went down to Fort Monroe for a rest. There 1s a disposition among the re- Publican repealers to break away to their homes, and Senator Hale has set the fash- fon by leaving for Maine on Saturday. Sen- ator Allison, it is said, will wait until to- morrow, in the hope of being able to assist in compromising, but then he may go at any time to Iowa, where he is booked for several speeches. It may be that the compromise measure will not be ready for presentation to the Senate by tomorrow or Wednesday, as had been hoped, but there is a general expecta- tion that {t will be finally formulated be- fore the end of the week, ‘The speach of Senator Jones on Satur- day was the most interesting of the de- bate and drew the greatest crowd, both of Senators and outsiders,rof any set address 0 far. There were fully fifty Senators on the floor in the attitude of perfect atten- tion, while the walls on the south side were linea with Representatives and others en- titled to the floor, drawn in to hear the arguments of the man who 1s acknowl- edged, by even the most ardent repealers, to be the master mind on the subject of money and its forms and ailments in the Senate today. ‘The most interesting part of the speech was when the Senator abandoned his pre- pared manuscript and answered the ques- tions that were plied on all sides. Senators Gray and Vilas began the assault, but they soon retired. On the republican side Sena- tors Aldrich, Higgins, Sherman and Haw- ley tried their hand at rattling Mr. Jones. At last, after more than an hour and a half of’cross fire, Mr. Hill shrewdly sug- gested that the Senator's prepared remarks were doubtless of more value than his tm- promptu utterances, and asked that his colleagues refrain from further questioning, and that the regular argument proceed. This ‘clever device for shutting off the de- moralizing bombardment had its effect, and the Senator went on with his manuscript. At about 6 o'clock, after Mr. Jones had been talking for over four hours, Senator ‘Voorhees suggested a recess, but there was objection, and the repeal leader was forced to move an adjournment, which was agreed to. . — A Foreman Dismissed. About two months ago Mr. C. Warneke of Michigan was appointed foreman of con- struction of the Washington elty post office. He was an applicant for the office of super- intendent, but another man got the appoint- ment. Acting on information that he was misbehaving and neglecting his business, Secretary Carlisle has directed his dismissal and will appoint his successor in-a few day! Politics does not figure in the matter at all, as Mr. Warneke is a democrat. ——_———-2-___—_ Resignation Received.

The Administration Will Listen to No Silver Oompromise. The Purchases of Silver Must Cease— Senators Confer With Sec- . Fetary Carlisle. “Stand firm for repeal” ts the watchword of the representatives of the administration. Instead of being disheartened by the tem- Porary setback of the silver repealers in the Senate they are strengthened in their determination of forcing the questign to @ successful issue. It is to be repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act pure and simple, without condition, or the fail- ure of that proposition. No compromise that contemplates the purchase of silver, with or without limit, will be considered. Such is the position of the President and Secretary Carlisle as expounded by per- sons known to be in their confidence. Secretary Carlisle had three distinguished callers this morning and their visit at this particular time is full of significance. They came separately and each had a confidential talk with the President’s financial adviser. The first caller of the tric was Senatoy Sherman, leader of the republican forces | favoring repeal, the second was Senator | Gorman, a strong democratic advocate of | repeal, and the third was Senator Voorhees, the leader of the combined forces. demo- cratic and republican, supporting the ad- ministration’s measure against the continu- ed purchases of silver. The sole topic of | these separate conferences was the silver fight im the Senate, and the visitors re- turned to their deliberations in the Senate chamber satisfied that the sdminiétration is utterly opposed to any compromise on | the'ativer, question and that {t is more than ever convinced that the best interests of the country require the unconditional re- peal of the Sherman silver will. TO PROLONG THE SESSION. Repeal Managers Will Attempt to Keep the Senate Tonight. Another effort will be made this evening by the managers of the silver repeal bill in the Senate to prolong the session beyond the usual hours of adjournment, and there ‘is no reason to doubt their ability to do so. It is understood, however, that Mr. Voor- hees has no hope of continuing the session over night, as his quorum is growing more difficult to maintain each day. Tellers are being placed with great care, and it said that the silver managers are taking pains to secure pairs for their absent colleagues with Senators who are sure to observe them urder all circumstances. This fact is important because, though a quorum may be actually present, Mr. Voorhees aust have @ voting quorum present or on call constantly, else he is apt to fall into the same trap so skilifully sprung by Mr. Teller Friday night, when he obtained a roll cail on an unimportant question, and thus broke the quorum, though there were more than forty-three Senators in the chamber. It was stated this afternoon that the re- peal leaders do not hope to keep a voting quorum together for all night tonight, but that they have assurances from republicans sufficient to make a quorum that they will remain until 10 o'clock, and on this basis 4n agreement has been made with the sil- ver men to continue the debate up to that hour. Senator Jones still has the floor and is continuing the speech that he began on Saturday. He has almost a8 full an audi- ence as on that day, and his remarks are being listened to with the greatest atten- tion. He will probably speak throughout ‘] the evening. . It is not likely that any serious effort will be made by the silver men to break the quorum, though they will probably make an occasional call for a quorum, ——_—_+ e+ _______ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

After twenty-nine years’ continuous serv- ice in the fire department, the Commission- ers today retired Francis Lewis, foreman of Engine Company No. 5, at $35 per month, and appointed Joshua Young to the position of foreman. Apportioning the Poor Fand. The following is the apportionment of the poor fund made by the Commissioners to- day: For physicians to the poor, $7,200; for medicine and printing prescriptions for the physicians to the poor, $3,700; for the Ho- meopathic Dispensary, including medicines for the homeopathic physician to the poor, $500; for the Eastern Dispensary, $500; for the Woman's Dispensary, $500; for the Aged Women’s Home. $300; for the Children’s Aid Society, $500; for coffins for the indi- gent dead of Freedman’s Hospital, $300; for the Hope and Help Mission, $00; total, $14,000. Want a Sewer. ‘The Mutual Investment Company,through Messrs. Weller & Repetti, has applied to the Commissioners for a public sewer in Ana- costia upon 16th street southeast from Har- rison street to Minnesota avenue,in order to afford the necessary facilities to drain the neighboring land and relieve the property of the company of an existing nuisance. Sanitary Report. ‘The following special report was made to the Commissioners today by Sanitary In- spectors Osmun and Shepherd relative to the condition of the Phelps School “This building 1s in a sanitary condition, excepting the neglect that is occasioned in not having a proper person in charge to attend to it regularly. It is absolutely necessary, as a sanitary measure, that a competent janitor should be in daily at- tendance. The cleanliness of the building not only demands this, but more particu- larly the arrangement for heating and ven- tilation requires a competent party to superintend same. ‘We would recommend that the attention of those in authority be called to this, as it is a matter, in a great measure, that re- lates not only to the comfort “but the health of the large number of children in daily attendance. A Janitor Dismissed. Lieut. Amiss of the first police station has recommended to the Commissioners that John Smith, the janitor of the station, be dismissed, and the Commissioners have approved his recommendation. Leaves in the Street. Superintendent Davis of the street clean- ing department asked a reporter of The Star today to request citizens for him not to sweep the leaves from the sidewalks and their front yards into the middle of the street, as they make an unsightly pile. Again, every vehicle that passes over them jams them down so much tighter, until it is impossible for the sweeping machines to prcperly take them up. He advises people to sweep them into the gutters only. ‘Then, wken the broom and hoe men and warts come along, or the force with big horse rakes pass by, they can be properly taken up. He thinks the streets look cleaner when the leaves are in the gutters only. Today's Orders. The Commissioners today ordered: “That alley entrances from S street be- tween Sth and 7th streets be repaved by the superintendent of streets. “That two manhole tops situated on North Capitol street at Hanover and O streets be adjusted to grade. “That two fire hydrants be erected at alley on the north side of N street be- tween 4th and 5th streets northwest. “That sewer be extended in alley in south half of square 546 under the provisions of the permit system. “That a cement sidewalk be laid in front of 242 and 2090 Brightwood avenue under the provisions of the permit system at an estimated cost of $92. “That William Thomas be registered and licensed as a master plumber and gas- fitter after filing proper bond. “That the old hydrant at 334 and R streets be removed and a in its place.” ‘should be or that no action should be had JUDGE COOLEY’S HINT His Advice to the Majority in the Senate, HOT 10 SUBMIT 70 A MINORITY.
