It is Approved, and Will Be Urged Before Congress. THE JAMES CREEK CANAL. Oe A systematic fight will be waged against the deadly grade crossings at the next ses- sion of Congress. East Washington is waking up. Its citi- zens are in earnest, and the meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association last night was an evidence of the interest felt in the matter. The two citizens’ associations have amal- gamated on this important question and the fight will be waged until success crowns their efforts. Altogether it was an inter- esting meeting. Secretary Sperry interrupted the regular proceedings of the meeting and introduced a delegation from the Northeast Washington Association. President Frizzell, who headed the delegation, stated that for some years Northeast Washington had suf- fered from the railroad bugaboo. What his association wanted was unity of action, and the help of the East Washington Citizens’ Association was necessary. The committee on legislation of his association had pre- pared a bill which had received the unani- mous approval of the Commissioners and was generally acceptable to the people. Grade Crossings Are a Bligh He introduced Mr. Evan Tucker, the chair- man of the committee on legislation, who spoke interestingly on the subject of the railroads in East Washington. Grade cross- ings, he said, are a blight to every city where they exist. Within the past year six people had been killed and a great many more had been maimed at grade crossings. A great many more had been killed and in- jured at other points along the road. Had there been a viaduct, over which the tracks could run, these accidents would never have occurred. The great question that was ab- sorbing the minds of the people of East Washington was: How to abolish grade crossings, The lives and limbs of the people were at stake and it was only through concerted action that anything cculd be done. It had been stated by the representatives of the railroad that there was no measure upon which the people could agree. This was not correct and the association was pre- paring to prove it. The entire eastern sec- tion of the city had been divided into fifty- two districts, each district containing four squares. A Monster Petition, To each section one member had been assigned and petitions In that way were being circulated. When Congress met again a monster petition containing 16,000 names would be presented in favor of the bill. He stated the route of the road according to the bill. It provided that the tracks ly- ing outside of the city ard north of Boun- dary street make a connection and proceed southerly with four tracks to reach a via- duct or elevated way to the north line of Boundary street where it intersects Dela- ware avenue, thence southerly along Dela- ware avenue to its intersection with F street north, thence following its present line of route to and into its depot butlding. Secretary Sperry asked for information concerning the height, grade, &c., as far as it affects the residents of Delaware ave- nue. Mr. Frizzell replied at length. He said the viaduct would be fifty feet wide at its base so as to accommodate four tracks at its top, and the arches not less than twelve nor more than sixteen feet high. The people of Delaware avenue, north of F street, had made no objection to the pro- posed bill as far as he knew. The people on Delaware avenue south of F street could not be in a worse condition than they are now as far as railroad matters are con- cerned. He stated the bill had been pre- sented in the Senate by Senator Sherman and had received the unqualified approval of the District Commissioners. The Vinduct Indorsed. Mr. M. I. Weller stated the association could not refrain from indorsing the bill as it had placed itself on recotd as being in favor of a viaduct system. He referred |to the publications in The Star on the sub- Sect, which had been fully and carefully prepared. A viaduct system would be a |sreat improvement on the present condition | of affairs. Upon motion of Gen. Birney the bill was approved by the association and referred to the committee on legislation to confer with a similar committee from the Northeast Washington Association. It was also resoived that the chair appoint a committee to circulate the petitions in tavor of the bill. The James Creek Canal Prof. Conrad, under the head of new bus- iness, offered a resolution thanking the Commissioners for cleaning James creek canal. The resolution set forth that, as the |canal having ceased to be a nuisance, shuld be treated according to the original plan of it as a waterway of great importance to the |eity for trade and transportation, The ex- | pensive project of arching it over should be abandoned. The canal should be kept clean |by daily flushings, and the banks should be \improved as landings or wharves for mer- |chandise. He spoke at length on the good that had been derived from the reclamation of this important waterway. In time, he had no doubt, it would be the means of re- lieving the overcrowded wharfage of the river front. Mr. M. I. Weller, under the head of new | business, gave notice that at the next meet- ing of the association he would call atten- tion to some matters relative to the public |schools. He had heard ugly rumors concern- ing the award of contracts for school books, and had heard it stated that a prominent | school official—one who received a salary for his services—was interested in the sale of school books. If such a thing were so, he |wanted the association to make a full in- | vestigation of the affair and air the matter | thoroughly. He also wanted to inquire into the manner of selection of school trustees, Upon motion, the association then ad- journed. —_—_ SURPRISED IN THEIR CAVE. A Gang of Counterfeiters Discovered in Westmoreland County, Pa. A gang of counterfeiters were recently surprised in their cave in the Laurel moun- tains, about four miies from Waterford, Pa. They were discovered by three hunters, named John and J. K. Rutter and George Shirley, who saw three men coming out of an old coal cave, each carrying a satchel. The hunters called to them, but they re- \fused to stop, and rag into the mountain lin the direction of New Florence. The hunters opened fire on them, which the | counterfeiters returned, but none of the | shots took effect. The hunters then explored the cave, and | were astonished to find a full kit of coun- tools, such as molds, &c., also about a hundred pounds of wool, a keg of | whisky, several crocks of honey, bedclothes, &c. They at once returned to Waterford | and aroused the neighborhood, and several lof the peonte ‘started in hot pursuit. For | several months past counterfeit money has been in circulation all through that sec- tion. 200 Great Britain got two of her possessions from pirates—the Leeward Islands in Bor- neo and Sarawak in the northwest of Dor- neo. TRUE FRATERNITY. Federal and Confederate Veterans Meet in Pleasant Reunion. Speeches From Both Sides—The War Has Ended for This City at Least —The Addresses. Last evening the “Yanks” and the “John- nies” met again in a contest in which both sides tried, as they did years ago, to gain the victory. But this time the strife of war- fare gave place to those no less renowned efforts of peace, and although each side strove manfully to gain the advantage, it was at the close a battle drawn, one, too, in which each side gracefully sought to ac- knowledge the power of the other. The oc- casion was the reunion, at 910 Pennsylva- nia avenue, of the Confederate Veterans’ Association and Union Veterans’ Legion, No. 69, and the object of the meeting was the desire of the Confederate Veterans’ As- sociation to present to the Legion a hand- somely engrossed copy of the resolution cf thanks adopted by the association for the very graceful and cordial manner in which they had been received and entertained at Marshall Hall last summer by the Legion. The confederate veterans were the nosts, and at 8:30 their guests marched into the hall, being received standing and with great enthusiasm. They were welcomed by Pres- ident Hunter in an eloquent speech, Col. Butler Fitch, past commander of the Legion, as eloquently responding. Corporal Tanner also spoke on behalf of the Union veterans, and his patriotic utterances were loudly cheered, the “rebel yell” leading. Among other things, he said: “The veterans on either side have the heartlest respect for the men who fought against them, and if we could have met and counseled together immediately after the war the blot of re- construction times might have been spared our history.” For the confederate veterans Maj. Akers | responded, remarking that: ‘“Grim-visaged | war has ‘smoothed his ruffled front, and | now, instead of mounting barbed steeds to | fright the souls of fearful adversaries, he | capers nimbly in such reunions as these, to , the pleasing sentiment of ‘One nation, one flag, and one destiny evermore. He agreed that the war had turned out for the best in the south, which was now | Ticher without slave labor than it had been with it. At one time the south had regarded Lincoln as almost a fiend; now he was re- | | garded as one of the best men who ever |dived, Ia conclusion the major recited the once popular poem, “I’m a Cood Rebel,” \remarking that such were dead and ; buried long ago, and no true southerner wished to rob the federal veterans of their pensions. Maj. McDowell Carrington, on behalf of | the confederate veterans, and Commander | Shotswell of the Legion also briefly spoke. —— PROBABLY A CRANK. The Man Who Sent Gov. Flower an Infernal Machine. The detectives of New York city have ob- tained information as to the identity of the person who attempted to kill Gov. Roswell P. Flower with an infernal machine in Sep- tember, 182. Gov. Flower was at the time stopping at when the effort was made to blow him up. He was warned in time by letter not to re- ceive any package, and when the mysteri- ous box containing the explosives arrived Proper precautions were taken, and the diabolical plot therefore miscarried. At the time there was great uneasiness about the cholera, and Fire Island had been purchased as a subquarantine station and the steamship Normannia’s passengers were landed there, much to the dread of the resi- dents of Islip, just across the bay. The let- ter and the murderous package arrived by mail. The latter was in a cigar box wrapped in yellow paper. It was turned over to the police, who soaked it in water until the contents had been thoroughly wet. When opened, it was found to contain a mustard can filled with gunpowder, which | Was surrourded with loose particles of the | Same explosive. A piece of emery paper | had been pasted to the front of the box,and | three matches were so azranged on a lever | that when the cover of the box was lifted, | the friction would cause the matches to ignite and the intended explosion would fol- low. During the secret investigation which has been in progress since the discovery of the plot it was learned that the package was left on the top of one of the street letter boxes in the district of station “G,” and that it was sent to the governor by the/ same man who had written the note of warning. The man is said to be a crank, | who believes that the governor wronged |him in some way.

The Turkish Ambassador Objected to the Burlesquing of the Sult Among the spectators who gathered at the Gaiety Theater, London, Wednesday | night to see the burlesque “Don Juan,” | was the Turkish ambassador to Great Brit- ain, The plot of the play fs in part laid in Constantinople, and one of the characters was the Sultan of Turkey. The ambassador watched the play with far more than pass- ing interest until the sultan appeared on the stage. The ruler of the faithful wag) represented as an old man keen in his pur- suit of female slaves. This aroused the ‘ambassador's ire and after watching for a very short time the antics of the mock sultan he withdrew from the theater in high dudgeon at the insult offered the person of his royal mas- ter. He at once sent a protest to Lord Rosebery, the fereign minister, and to the Lord Chamberlain, the latter being empow- ered to act as censor on plays produced in England, ‘Of course apologies were tendered the irate ambassador and the Lord Chamber- lain {ssued a peremptory order that the burlesyue be suppressed last night unless the character of the Sultan of Turkey be eliminated and all references to his Turkish majesty and the country he rules over be done away with. At last evening's perform- ance the sultan did not appear. ———__-+0+_____ THE WONDERFUL BROWN GUN. A World's Record is Smashed at the Government Proving Ground. The Brown segmental 5-inch wire gun broke the world’s record at Sandy Hook proving ground yesterday. During the gov. ernment test of this gun, Capt. Frank Heath being in charge, the following re- sults were obtained: With 30 pounds of the celebrated smokeless powder and a 601-2 pound shot, a muzzle velocity of 3130 feet per second with a breech pressure of 53,50) pounds per square inch was obtained. This exceeds any record ever obtained with any gun of similar length with equiv- alent weight of shot and ts ahead of the previous world’s record obtained with the same gun and powder on August 18, 1893. Yesterday's record gives a muzzle energy of 4216-foot tons, which is equal to 1016-foot tons for each ton of weight of gun, and 149-foot tons for each pound of powder burned. ‘The pressure of 53,500 pounds per squarc inch is the ordinary battering pressure of the Brown gun, the usual maximum pres sure of high power guns being but 37,00) pounds per square inch.

REPUBLICANS REFUSED 10 VOTE, And There Was Not a Quorum of the Democrats. MR: REED’S COMPROMISE. For seven hours yesterday the House re- mained in a deadlock. and it was not until 9 o'clock last night that the tangle was un- wound and the days’session closed. The trouble was occasioned by the resistance of the republicans to what they considered an unjust arrangement for the reporting of the tariff bill in the interim between the ad- journment of the extra session and the con- vening of the regular session next Decem- ber. After the adoption by the House, early in the afternoon, of the resolution providing for the adjournment of both houses of Congress today, and the objec- tion of the consideration of the resolution authorizing the ways and means commit- tee to file reports during the recess, all of which was reported in The Star, the com- mittee on rules reported an order provid- ing for the immediate consideration of that resolution. The previous question was or- dered and Mr. Reed of Maine opened the debate in opposition to its adoption. He said: Mr. Reed’s Opposition. “Mr. Speaker, I am very much surprised to see such a resolution as this introduced at the close of this session, because I think it ig most unsatisfactory in its char- acter and most unreasonable in its demands upon the members of the ways and means committee. I suppose the ground on which the demand is made is that the coun- | try may more speedily be informed of the condition of public affairs; and if I thought that in making opposition to this measure I was preventing the country ivom obtain- ing as early a knowledge as possibie of all the facts which it is necessary for it to know, I should hesitate very much. But I am quite satisfied that neither will the country be more early informed nor will the bill be really advanced by the proposi- tion which is here presented. “It is an extraordinary proposition. It is that the committee on ways and means shall sit some time during the interval be- tween now and the reassembling of the House, and during this interval shail file its results and its reports with the clerk of the House. I think that that has never been done; at least I am not aware of it; and whether it has or has not is a matter of very little consequence. The country may have the impression that this trans- action is one which is somewhat necessary; but that is because the country does not understand how efther this bill is being framed or the bill called the Mills bill was framed. The House of Representatives has committed this matter to the committee on ways and means. The committee on ways and means has been appointed now for nearly three months. That committee has not had a singie meeting upon that subject. Never Been Alluded to in Committee. “The matter which hes been referred to them has not been alluded to in the com- mittee itself; in other words, instead of the committee on ways and means of the House of Representatives doing its duty and con- sidering the question, representing all shades of belief and opinion, it has never attended to the matter the least in the world; consequently any member of this House can see that the proposition to cal] the committee on ways and means to- gether during the interim is simply impos- ing upon them an entirely unnecessary duty. If this thing goes on as it seems to be likely to go on, the committee on ways and means will have absolutely noth- ing to do except to record the verdict of some gentlemen at present unknown to us or to the country; and consequently they have but a formal duty. .IJf the question were one of publicity, of informing the peo- ple what ts going to take place, there is absolutely no difficulty attending it; not the least in the world. “Whenever gentlemen, whoever they may be, who are engaged in the business of making the tariff have satisfied their own powerful minds upon the subject all they have to do is to announce it to the world, and they could announce it to the world just as readily through the newspapers as they can in any other way. That, no doubt, would be the most satisfactory way in which it could be done; so that it could be presented for criticism by the public, and the committee on ways and means, who are the authorized agents of the House, would really be in a much better condi- tion to decide upon the question and pass upen it with the various lights thrown upon it by those interested on every side of the question. The People Will Look After the Tariff. “But what is the proposition now? It is that the committee on ways and means shall be called together, after the good old French fashion, of which we have had so many examples, to form a bed of justice, to register the views of gentlemen at pres- ent uaknown, but whose names will prob- ably be disclosed at some future time. That is the proposition made, and the only ex- cuse for it is that it may hasten the mat- ter. So far as the committee is concerned it can hasten nothing, because a new tariff bill is not going to be the result, when it is passed, of the opinion of any set of | gentiemcn kaewn or unknown. It is going to be modified according to the carefully formed opirion of the people cf this coun- try, and they are going to have a hearing on ‘it. They can have a hearing just as well when these gentlemen present their bill in the papers, whenever they get ready to do so. * * * * * Therefore, I say that to bring in this resolution at the ciose of the session, under the whip and spur of the report of a committee that does not even have to have matters referred to it by the House, is something thai t certainl; is not elther suitable or prope: uf Mr. Wilson’s Reply. Mr. Wilson replied as follows: “Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Maine Is right in saying that one of the objects sought by the adoption of this resolution ts to give to the country as soon as may be information as to the proposed tariff legislation of this Congress. Another object is to advance the preliminary stages of that legislation So that it may be ready as soon as yous'ble after the assembling of Congress for this House to enter actively upon its considera- tion. In view of the resolution which the House has taken to adjourn this session tomorrow, the majority members of the committee on ways and s felt that some such resolution as this should be pass- ed by the House before it dispersed for this session. *** We shall, as soon as this House di be able to give to this work all the hours of the working day, and part aleo of the hours of the night, in order that at as early a day as possible we may present to the people of the country for their in- formation, for their judgment, for their criticism, the result of our labors. And we desire to have this bill presented early as possible to the American people; we de- sire to have it passed through the necessary committee action, the necessacy purlia- mentary ripening, to have it ready for the action of this House as soon ufter it reas- sembles as may be practicable. An-l in order to secure this result it will be absolutely necessary not only that the democratic members of that committee shall continue their work night and day, but that there shall be lodged somewhere a power to con- vene the full committee to act upon such dill as the majority may prepare; so that we may not be guilty of the discourtesy of communicating to the country through | | ——————_—_—_=————— es the press that which we shall have aeere Syeabut the fruits of our labor im of our repul colleagues upon the committee. Kh Some Authority Necessary. “It will be necessary, I say, that there should be lodged somewhere the authority to convene the minority of the committee, ‘so that such a bill as may be prepared by, the majority may be presented to them in the regular sessions of the committee, may be acted upon in the orderly parliamentary manner in which a committee has to act upon such measures, and that the authority may be given to file with the cierk of House during the recess the that thus been prepared, that upon in the committee room, the usual reports in fa’ of the against it, so that as sembling of Congress as may enter upon that duty committed to it ple last November.* * * So Speaker, the whole question now House is whether it will take as may expedite the publicatt: sideration of this whether the committee shall to prepare a bill which shall the consideration of the House assembling, and we shall be through the parliamentary mittee consideration, of of ports, and be delayed in get! tbe — keg meye of the House the formation ot unt ction pet country and for the ac!
