Sovereign, the new general master work- man of the Knights of Labor, who was elected on Monday last to fill out T. V. Powderly's unexpired term, spent several hours m Baltimore today before proceeding to Philadelphia to take charge of affairs of the order. After discussing the future pol- icy of the work of the order he said: “I shall, as soon as possible, carry out the in- ructions of the general assembly and en- deavor to sell the property in Philadelphia and move the headquarters to Washington or Baltimore.” eee Cold Wave Coming.

Bills on the Calendar and Before the Commissioners. $$ FIRST DISTRICT DAY. oe Next Monday Congress will assemble and the ‘ollowing Monday will be District day in the House, the day set apart under the rules for the consideration in the House of business relating to the District of Colum- bia. It is expected that the committee on the District of Columbia will be ready on that day to do business by having previous- ly reported and placed upon the House cal- endar as many District bills as will furnish material for a full day’s consideration. Chairman Heard has endeavored to pro- vide for this by soliciting the subcommit- tees of the committee to take action upon bills before them during the recess which is now ending, in order that the subcommit- te2s may be able to report to the full com- mittee at once. The District committee will have a meeting next Wednesday, at which the reports of the subcommittees will be received and acted upon and the bills reported to the House. This will give ample margin to draw up reports and get the bills on the House calendar before Monday. ‘Tax Sales. Among the’ bills which it is thought will be ready for early action ts the bill to pro- vide a practicable system of tax sales for the District. Mr. Cobb of the subcommit- tee on judiciary took with him when he went to Alabama for the recess consider- able data upon this subject and said that he would endeavor while he is away to draw up a suitable bill that it may be re- ported and acted upon immediately. Other members of subcommittees also have bills before them which they are expected to report upon next week. Code of Laws. There is a special subcommittee on the code of laws of the District, consisting of Messrs. Richardson, Cobb, Cooper (Ind.), Post and Hilborn. This committee has not taken any action during the recess, but efforts will be made soon after the as- sembling of Congress to induce the subcom- mittee to begin the consideration of the subject with which they are charged, and it is probable that a series of hearings may be held during the session. Liquor and Railroads. There is already on the calendar of the House a bill amending the new liquor law relating to the 400-foot limit as applied to churches and schools. This will be called up and a fight upon it is expected. The bill to define the route of the’ Baltimore and Ohio railroad within the city limits is before the full committee for action and may be reported to the House next week. Before the Committee. At the close of the extra session the state of District bills before the House committee was as follows: To make the surveyor of the District of Columbia a salaried officer; reported by Commissioners and referred to subcom- mittee on judiciary.

December 1, 1593. loners. before the | Two Street Railroa FAILED TO COMPLY. Have Not Put on Modern Rails as Ordered. There is blood in the eye of the District triumvirate. It is tired of being toyed with, especially by street railroads, and a new and more vigorous policy will shortly be inaugurated, when matters affecting the street railroads come before it. This morning when the board met a com- munication from Capt. Fiebeger, the en- gineer officer in charge of street railroads, calling attention to the fact that both the Metropolitan and Columbia railroad com- panies had failed to comply with the act of Congress, .approved March 2, 1889, in which it was provided that all street rail- roads in the District of Columbia must substitute flat grooved rails for the ordinary flat and ‘T-shaped rails, which had given so much dissatisfaction. According to the pro- visions of the act, the Commissioners were authorized to notify the several railroad companies, and if, within ninety days after, or within twelve months after the expira- tion of the ninety days, the railroad com- pany failed to comply with the provisions of the act the Commissioners were directed to do the work and issue bonds of indebted- ness against the railroad, bearing an inter- est of 10 per cent per annum, the same to be a lien against the railroad. On August 18, 1802, the Commisstoners notified the presidents of the Metropolitan and Columbia Railroad Companies that having failed to complete the laying of their respective road beds with flat grooved rails, as required by the act of Congress, they were notified to begin work within ninety days and finish the work within twelve months. According to Inspector Hickey’s report to the Commissioners, both roads have failed to comply with the order, and he names a number of places along the line of the road where the new approved rail has not been substituted. Capt. Fiebeger forwards all communi- cations upon this subject today, and recom- mends that they be sent to the attorney for the District for opinion as to what action the Commissioners should take in the prem- ises to enforce the act of Congress. ee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Grading Wanted. ‘The Commissioners have been requested to grade Sumner street from 6th to 7th streets northwest, and that the surplus earth be dumped on the same street between 5th and 6th streets. Petition Received. The Childs Brick Company have peti- tioned the Commissioners to put 12th street extended northeast tn condition: Closing Alleys. Several days ago the attorney for the District was asked to give an opinion upon an important matter affecting the closing of an alley. It seems that lot 376, in square 674, shows an alley 10 by 19 feet, which Is no longer necessary. In fact, there is a house built upon the alley, and a gentleman who wishes to purchase the lot desired to know if the alley could be officially closed in any other manner than under the act of Congress which requires the signatures of all the property holders in the square. After carefully considering the case, Mr. ‘Thomas holds that there is no way in which the alley can be closed except in the manner provided for under the act above referred to—that is, to get the signatures of all the property owners in the square to a petition asking for its obliteration. Wants It Improved. Herman J. Volker has requested the im- provement of K street between 11th and 12th streets northeast. Includes Them Al. , ‘The attorney for the District was recently asked to give an expression of his views upon the question whether a watchman in the fire department who contributes each month to the firemen’s relief fund is en- titled to the same benefits from the fund as other members of the department. . After quoting the language of the act creating the firemen’s relief fund, Attorney Thomas says: “This language is broad enough, I think, to include anybody connected with the fire department from whose pay $1 per month 1s deducted for the formation of the fire- men’s relief fund.” > — A STABLE OPINION, The Attorney Tells to What a Regu- lation Applies. The communication of the inspector of buildings requesting an opinion as to whether under paragraph 11, section 11, of the building regulations, in the case of an existing building or one recently built as a shed, he has the right to prevent its occu- pancy for stable purposes, was reported by the attorney for the District today. Mr. Thomas after quoting the paragraph says “I am of opinion that this paragraph does not refer to the case of stables for horses, but is limited entirely to the uses men- tioned. The section following, 12, seems. to deal with the erection of such buildings or thelr conversion to stable purposes after erection.” Kate Fortune, the wife of James Fortune, has, through her attorneys, Messrs. edwards and Barnard, filed a petition in the Equity Court, asking that a writ de lunatico in- quirendo issue, to inquire into and deter- mine the condition of her husband’s mind. She states that he is the owner of five houses and lots in this city of the value of $12,000; that, owing to the condition of his mind, he is incapaple of managing his af- fairs. She therefore prays that a jury of inquiry be had and the question determined, to the end that a committee may be appoint: ed to manage his property and business. _> Fine Horses Injured. About 11 o'clock this morning the fire department was called to the National Rifles’ Armory. A great cloud of smoke is- suing from the basement of the building led many to believe that a great fire was raging. Before the firemen arrived, how- ever, the fire was extinguished, the smoke arising from the igniting of a bucket of wax in the cellar of the building. The fire was extinguished by a bucket of water, with no damage whatever. In responding to the alarm two of the horses of Truck C fell on E street in front of the National Theater, the silppery concrete pavement be- ing the cause of the accident. One of the horses was so badly disabled that the truck was forced to return to the house. —_——— Thanksgiving at the Reform School. Yesterday was really a day of thanks- giving at the District reform school. Col. and Mrs. Shallenberger planned that it should be so, and it was. The work shops were closed and every boy was given full liberty to enjoy himself. Good meals are not scarce at the institution, but yesterday’s meals were above the average, dinner, of course, being the central feature. Roast turkey, with an ample supply of edibles that are generally served with it, was disposed of by a very happy multitude. During the afternoon there were all sorts of outdoor | games, and with darkness came supper, in which apples, oranges, cake and pie figured conspicuously. It was a great day, and the only complaint the boys made was that it was too short by several hours. eee aa A COLD WAVE Is Thought to Be Impending at the Pension Office. Something dropped in the pension bureau today. The countenances of several of the officials have worn a tragic air for several days. Four or five observant attaches of the bureau told the reporter for The Star on Wednesday that there was an impending crash. There was an assiduous hunting up of the records of certain employes of the bureau. It was whispered that those whose records did not make a satisfactory showing were to be dismissed or reduced. The victims of bad records trembled. It was expected that this would happen on Wednesday, ante-Thanksgiving pay day, but it seems not to have occurred till today. This forenoon a notice was swung up in the appointment division of the Interior.Depart- ment announcing that Mrs. Mary Throck- morton of the District of Columbia, a copy- ist at $900, and Mrs. Amelia J. Rowland of Pennsylvania, clerk at $1,000, had resigned. Patent Office Appointment. Jas. B.

Everything Ready for the Army and Navy Cadets. FOOT BALL CONTEST AT ANNAPOLIS. Fourth of the Series Between the Academies. CURRENT FOOT BALL GOSSIP. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 1.—Everything is in readiness for the battle between the army and the navy tomorrow. While the foct ball season practically closes with the great contests on Thanksgiving day, the game between the elevens of Uncle Sam's future generals and his embryo admirals is attracting a great deal of attention. The young soldiers will arrive in Balti- more from West Point this afternoon and come here in the morning. They are quoted as being satisfied that although their team is not so heavy as that of last year, the present make-up is much ahead of last year’s in general average play and excel- lency of critical team work. This game will be the fourth of the series between the two academies. The “middies” have won two of the three heretofore played. It is the army’s turn to win this year, but the navy boys will do their best to break the record of alternate victory and .defeat. A curious feature of these contests in the past is that neither team has ever won on the home grounds. Satisfaction at Princeton. PRINCETON, Dec. 1.—The visit of the students of Princeton University to the great foot ball game in New York city yes- terday was made under such strict condi- tions that the majority of the students who witnessed the contest returned on early trains. Exhausted by the excitement of the day their exuberance over the victory found vent chiefly in college yells and derisive questions as to “What is the matter with Yale The last train brought home the townspeople, who celebrated Princeton’s conquest more noisily than the students. The foot ball team has not returned and the pent-up enthusiasm is gathering strength for the college jubilation tonight or Saturday night. It was stated that Harvard would chal- lenge Princeton this year, but this seems very doubtful, as Assistant College Treas- urer Duffield, an enthustastic foot ball Harvard chi to play on Thanks- giving day. Princeton offered to play on any other day, and the result, Mr. Duffield alleges, was a back down. Last year Harvard thought Princeton had a strong team, whereas the case was other- wise. Now Princeton having beaten Yale and Yale having beaten Harvard it is very improbable that Princeton will take up the challenge issued at so late a day. The Princeton team probably broke train- ing today, and altogether it is likely that this ends the foot ball season at Princeton. The feeling of the students is one of intense satisfaction at the technical strength de- veloped by the foot ball team. They be- lieve that the battle was the fairest one ever fought. They are enthusiastic over the immense crowd that packed the stands and bleacheries and kept up the spirits of both teams. From a financial point of view everything was entirely satisfactory. Knipe De a Story. BOSTON, Dec. 1.—Knipe, the half back of the Pennsylvania foot ball team, in con- versation yesterday, made several state- ments that will destroy the force of the innumerable stories that have been founded on the fanciful reports that were written of the Yale-Pennsyivania game. It has been published far and wide that when Knipe made his famous touchdown Hinkey of Yale lost his temper and struck the Philadelphian full in the face. “Hinkey never struck me, or even made a pass at me,” said Knipe, “and the story was manufactured out of whole cloth. It is just such rot as this that is creating so much talk about the brutality of foot ball. Its influence is especially great upon the nts of the players.” “Did you ever hear a more ridiculous story than the one about the marks of teeth on Butterworth’s bdtk?” continued the Pennsylvania player. “Why, you might as well try to bite a piece out of the palm of your hand. A 's facial anatomy is pre- cluded the possibility of such a thing.” Settled by Yesterday's Game. BOSTON, Dec. 1—A New Haven special to the Herald says: Everybody here knows that Yale expected to win the game with Princeton and hoped to whitewash the Tigers. In fact, a majority of the bets reg- istered here were even money that Prince- ton would not score. One vital point was settled by the defeat. No more will Yale-Princeton and Yale. Harvard games take place just four days apart. At least a week will intervene be- tween the two great contests in the future. Why Harvard Won. BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 1.—Capt. Mackey of the Pennsylvania foot ball team said last evening “The strong and weak points of the game with Harvard were easily apparent. Har- vard played a mighty strong offensive game and the whole thing in a nutshell is that we were unable to stop their rushes. Had Harvard played an equally strong game at Springfield she would surely have de- feated Yale “The playing of the Harvard men was quick and fast, with plenty of Ife and gin- ger.

A tale of the Texas panhandle, describing a phase of American life that is rapidly disappearing. By Alice McGowan. These are only samples of the contents of tomorrow's Star. It must be seen and read to be appreci- ated, a Not a Queen to Restore. From the New York World. The idea of the United States setting up anybody in the monarch business is gro- tesque. It is likewise shocking to all the sentiments bred in us by a life-long study of the Declaration of Independence and other ¢documentary expressions of funda- mental American ideas on the subject of government. But the opera bouffe suggestion is magni- fied in its grotesqueness when the proposal is that our government shall engage in this sort of work in behalf of such a queen as Liliuokalani. This woman undertook to set aside the somewhat enlightened constitution framed under American influence for the restraint of her ignorance and barbarism. Out of this attempt at reaction grew the revolu- tion which created a provisional govern- ment. -That government is composed of the best men in Hawaii, mostly Americans. The manner of its institution is open to grave question. There is special need of in- quiry into the conduct of the American minister, Stevens, in connection with it. But the government exists; it is good gov- ernment; it secures the dominance of Amer- ican influence where such dominance is very greatly to be desired; our government has fully recognized it, and all other civil- ized governments are pleased to have it take the place of the dissolute, reactionary and absurd rule of the Kanaka queen. ———_—_—+e-+-______ The Y. M. C. A. Program. There has been a change of plan made in the popular Sunday afternoon services at the Young Men's Christian Association. | Formerly the meetings have been conducted | by various men from the city or from out- side, each man being engaged for but one time and the program arranged from Sun- day to Sunday. For the rest of the winter, however, one man will have charge of the services for an entire month. Rev. George 4H. Corey, D. D., will preach for the month of December, except on the 17th, when Rev. C. L. Pate, pastor of the Twelfth Street M. E. Church, will take his place. The subject for next Sunday is Man Know God—the Issues of Life. For January Rev. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, Cove- nant Presbyterian Church, will speak on the various Sundays of the month on “Sin, ‘Savior,” “Forgiveness” and ‘‘Sal- vation,” and Rev. George Hiliott, of the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church (Georgetown), will have charge during February. The Friday evening lectures will also commence tonight, when Dr. V. D. Collins will talk about the Hawalian Islands. Mr. Collins has been a resident there and is an annexationist. He will read a very fine original poem. There will be an illustrated lecture December # on the world’s fair by Cc. E. Ewing, and the third lecture of the series will be by Prof. H. A. Hazen of the weather bureau on “Popular Weather Prognostications.” In February will come the Interesting and always largely attend- ed talks from newspaper men on their work. pastor | American Security And Trust Co.
