The office of the central relief committee in the Central Union Mission, on Louisiana avenue, is a busy place nowadays, and the number of applicants for assistance that report there shows how widespread is the destitution throughout the city. The cases that report there are referred to the Asso- ciated Charities and the police; Mr. J. H. Wall, who is in charge, endeavoring to send about half the number of applicants to each of the two branches mentioned. There were many callers at the room yesterday, and thirty-three names were recorded and referred, the other applicants making such a showing that they could not be given immediate relief. Many of the applicants are still clamoring for money with which to pay their rent, while most of them are satisfied with an allowance of food and fuel. During the day many persons call who make their first appearance in charit- able circles, and some of them pace the sidewalk until the coast is clear and then they go in to transact their business when they think they are not likely to be seen. This morning there was a decided de- crease in the number of applicants who called. One young colored man in pleading for assistance said to Mr. Wall, “I manage to get something to eat, but I don’t make out as well as I would like.” “There are many of us in exactly that position,” Mr. Waji told him. “None of us make out as well as we would like.” The man had been unfortunate in the manner of stating his case, but when ques- tioned he explained that his mother had six children, and there were none of them at work. Her name was recorded and re- ferred to the police. Nearly every caller for assistance asks for employment, and some insist on their names being recorded as being willing and anxious to work. Several charitable persons have left with Mr. Wall a number of tickets for meals in the Central Union Mission dining room, and these have been distributed where they did the most good. The police are continuing the investiga- tion of the eases of those who request as- sistance, accepting the tickets from the central relief committee. During the first twenty days in this month i police have distributed funds lows: s fol- Total 2,832, 4,372.50 Chief Clerk Sylvester said that not one cent had been expended for rent on ac- count of the concert fund. During the win- ter, he said, rent money had been furnished in about fifty cases, and the money had been contributed by several persons for this purpose. ae ee Applications for Liquor Licenses.

TO VISIT THE KAISER. Preparing to Receive Bismarck at Berlin. NEWS OF THE REBELLION AT RIO. Supplies of the Insurgents Falling Short. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS. BERLIN, Jan. 24—It now appears that Chancellor Von Caprivi and Baron Mars- chall Von Bicberstein, the secretary of state for foreign affairs, had previously been informed of Emperor William's in- ter:tion to send Col. Von Moltke, his aid-de- camp, to Prince Bismarck with a concilia- tory letter and a bottle of rare old wine, and so bringing about the reconciliation which followed the visit of Col. Von Moltke to Friedrichsruhe. At the castle preparations are being made to receive Prince Bisma**k, who will be the guest of Emperor \f.iam during his stay im Berlin. A suite ¢f rooms in the castle has already been thrown open and prepared for the use of the ex-chancellor, and everything possible will be done to make his visit a memorable one. It is understood that the prince will cor- @ally support the government, but that anything like direct participation in gov- ernment affairs is far from being contem- plated by any of the parties concerned. Chancellor Von Caprivi, according to re- port, will remain chancellor in fact, and his position will be in no way weakened by the reconciliation between the ex-chan- cellor and the emperor. RUNNING SHORT OF SUPPLIES. A Reason That Led da Gama te Ask for Arbitration. BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 24. received here from Rio de Jan: the insurgents are running short of pro- visions, and that this is one of the reasons which has led Admiral Da Gama to enter into negotiations with Rear Admiral Ben- ham, in command of the United States fleet at Rio de Janeiro, looking to a satis- factory settlement of the disputes between the government and the insurgents. It is believed here that there will be no further fighting at Rio de Janeiro, and that the American admiral now has the key to the fituation, and that he will be success- arranging matters in > ‘etactary to both sides, Teenie Sailor on board the Port: - vette Mindello has committed ‘sulelde by shooting himself. The cause of the suicide is said to have been that the unfortunate sailor was laboring under the impression that he had been unjustly treated by one of the officers. A court of inquiry will in. vestigate the sailor's death. BRITAIN’S NEW WARSHIPS, —Dispatches eiro say that Changes in Construction rangement of the Vesse LONDON, Jan. 24—The admiralty au- thorities have completed the new ship- bullding plan, calling for the expenditure of £7,000,000, and have placed orders for new fifty-ton guns to supersede the sixty-seven- ton breech-loaders, whieh are the principal armament of the now existing battle ships. In addition, the armaments and fittings of the warships now in hand are rapidly be- ing pushed forward at the different dock- yerds and in the private ship yards where government ships are being constructed, The new scheme of armament is based upon the principle that the next naval war will be a test of maneuvering skill, and that coal endurance will play a prominent part in such tactics. As Ironclads will be superior to” prep terial existing ships in regard to coal capacity, thus rendering them independent o: coal: Stations at @ critical inoment. a Lied A dispatch to the Times from Hong Kong comments strongly on the fact that “although British trade here is far ahead of that of all the other powers combined, yet the British warships here number only nineteen, against a combined French and Russian fleet of twenty-one vessels.” The dispatch concludes with the remark that Great Britain is willfully exposing her immense eastern interests to great danger. md Ar- A New Servian Cabinet.

MONTEVIDEO, Jan. 24.—At the request of the Brazilian minister here the Uruguay- an police have taken possession of a quan- tity of arms and ammunition that Brazil- lan insurgent sympathizers here had pro- cured for the use of the insurgents in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Put Into Queenstown for Repairs. QUEENSTOWN, Jan. 24.—The American ship Willie Rosenfeld, Capt. Dunphy, from San Francisco, September 5, for Liverpool, put Into this port this morning for refuge. She had experienced heavy weather, dur- ing which seven of her crew were injured. Heavy seas boarded her, smashing the wheel and almost demolishing the poop. Signs of a Wreck.

It adds that the Prince of Wales, in declining for the princess an invitation to visit Belvoir castle, the resi- dence of the Duke of Rutland, at Gran- tham, Lincolnshire, stated that the princess would hereafter take no part in social events. Truth further says that the prince is suffering from his old complaint and is unable to take much exercise. He will abandon riding. Alexander Takes a Stand. LONDON, Jan. 24.—A dispatch to the Central News from Belgrade says that King Alexander has reserved to himself the right to nominate the minister of war. He also made a similar reservation in regard to the ambassadors to foreign countries. The dis- patch further says that the decrees expel- ling ex-King Milan and ex-Queen Natalie from Servia have been canceled. ESE a Bes Mrs. Lense Expresses Vigorous Op! ions, OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 24.—Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease of Kansas arrived in Omaha yester- day, and lectured last night in Exposition Hall.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.—The City of Mexico dispatch declaring that Mexico's claim to the three big islands off the coast of southern California is to be pressed created much interest here. This dispatch declared that neither the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo nor the first state constitution made any mention of these islands as included in California. This is not true, for although the treaty did not specify them the first state consti- tution adopted in °49 wended its definition of the state boundaries as follow: “Also all the islands, harbors and bays along and adjacent to the Pacific coast.” In the present constitution this language is repeated. Furthermore, for over forty years California’s criminal and civil law has been enforced on these islands, and no one has disputed in court the state's claim to the islands. —_—.——_ ESCAPED FROM COAL CREEK. for Fifty Convicts Break Out From the Stockade Prison. COAL CREEK, Tenn., Jan. 24.—Fifty convicts confined in the branch state prison here escaped last night by crawling through the bars of the water gate leading into the stockade. They effected their escape just at dark, and shortly after dark several pedestrians were robbed in the vicinity. As soon as the escape was discovered the guards started in hot pursuit, firing con- stantly. Several men were! shot, but many succeeded in escaping. Some of them are hiding in the mountains around Coal Creek. At this same place, two years ago, the whole number of convicts in the stock- ade, about 200, were liberated by the miners. es DAVIES WROTE IT. Authorship of the Hawaiian Address to the President Announced. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.—S. T. Alex- ander of Oakland, who formerly lived in Honolulu, says he has received authentic information that the address to President Cleveland, issued by the Hawaiian Patri- otic League, was written by T. H. Davies, guardian of Princess Kaiulani, who is to be Liliuokalani’s successor as queen of Hawaii, if the royalist plans are carried out. Said Alexander: “Davies’ object in wishing the ex-queen restored is obvious. He is Kalulant'’s guar- dian, and has hopes that if restored to tl throne Liliuokalani will abdicate in her favor. Davies is an Englishman, with large business interests in Hawaii, but his home is in Liverpool. He went to Honolulu as a common clerk, and accumulated great wealth. Now he wishes to shine in British society, as his great ambition is to repre- sent Hawaii as minister to the court of St. James. This will be accomplished if the queen is restored. Davies is extrem: British in all his affiliations, and the Increase of American interests in the islands with great di ¢ —___. WITHIN THE ROPES. Exponents of the “Manly Art” Show Their Prowess. CHICAGO, Jan. 24.—The six-round glove contest at the Tivoli last night between the Young Griffo and Johnnie Hest, the feather weights, ended in a draw. Both men stripped far above weight and were in ordinary costume. Griffo's cleverness was too much for Johnnie, and he had the worst of the ar- gument throughout. He narrowly missed landing his dangerous right-hand swings a half dozen times. The fast work told on him, and toward the end he weakened perceptibly. In the last round Griffo partly knocked and part- ly rushed him to the floor, where he took his full time. The men agreed that if both were able to continue at the end of the sixth round it would be declared a draw, and such it was. ST. CATHERINE’S, Ont., Jan. 24—aAr- thur Scram of St. Catherine's, champion welter-weight of Canada, defeated Frank Walls of Chicago at the opera house here last night. ele ES “THE MODERN CHURCH.” A Proposed Organization Without Creed or Denomination. CHICAGO, Jan. 24.—Local trades unions have decided to organize a workingmen's church, which shall be designated as the “Modern Church.” It will have no creed, and the ministers of the city will be in- vited to address it. The meetings will be held in Bricklayers’ Hall, and the first ser- mon will be delivered next Sunday morn- ing, but by whom has not yet been decid- ed. The talks will not be confined to min- isters, however. Leading trades unionists will also be given an opportunity to air their views on the religious question. It is not designed to make the new church a school for de- bate, and all those who are invited to ad- dress it will be listened to with respectful silence. It is expected, in th to erect a place of worship which shall bear the name of the new society, and it is be- lieved it will be liberally attended by the workingmen. —_———_—_ MR. CHILDS A VERY SICK MAN. The Physictans Will Not Say Anything About the Paralysis of His Legs. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan, 24.—The bul- letin issued by the physicians in attendance on Mr. George W. Childs is to the effect that he passed a comfortable night and was resting easy this morning. Neither Dr. Da Costa nor Dr. Leidy would say any- thing in reference to Mr. Childs’ lower limbs being paralyzed. The fact that a physician is constantly at the bedside of the distinguished patient is proof positive that Mr. Childs is a very sick man. Mr. Childs’ Paralytic Stroke. The following paragraph appeared in some of the morning papers: A bulletin issued during the afternoon, signed by Dr. J. M. Da Costa, Dr. Joseph Leidy and Dr. Henry Morris, was to*the effect that on Thursday Mr. Childs had suffered from an attack of vertigo, which was followed by paralysis. Dr. Da Costa is of the opinion that the patient is im- proving slowly. The effect of the attack of paralysis has been to render Mr. Childs’ lower limbs en- tirely useless, it is said, but his mind is clear. It was stated last night that this is the second stroke which he has suffered, the other having occurred some years ago on North Broad street, when the veteran publisher was found prostrated near the Baldwin works. —>_—_. Its Rules Were Illegal. KALAMAZOO, Mich. Jan. 24.—Judge Kinney of the Wastenaw circuit court has handed down his opinion in the case of Catherine M. Fillmore against the Great Camp of the Knights of the Maccabe and of Michigan, in which he holds that the or- ganization is Hable for an insurance policy held by the plaintiff's husband, A. H. Fill- more. In March, 1885, Fillmore became a mem- ber of the order. In September, 1892, the Great Camp passed a rule forbidding any of its members to engage as principal, agent or employe in the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquor. In January, 1898, Fillmore purchased $5,000 worth of stock in the Northern brewery at Ann Ar- bor, and in June of the same year died.

FALL RIVER, Mass., Jan. 24.—Collector of Customs Brady has set up his will in opposition to that of Secretary Carlisle, and refuses to resign his office, as request- ed. It is expected that he will be summar- ily removed as a consequence. It appears that the report of the last inspector sent here to investigate matters at the local custom house charges Collector Brady with gross negligence and inefficiency in the ad- ministration of the affairs of the office.

The Purport of a Bill Sent to Congress Today. Regulations to Keep the Channel of the River Clear at All | bate Times. The Commissioners today sent the follow- ing bill to both houses of Congress for in- troduction, with a letter explaining that the regulations proposed in the bill are the same as those in force in every port of en- try in the United States. The bill is designed to give the harbor master power to regulate the movement of vessels: . A bill to establish harbor regulations for the District of Columbia. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that every vessel coming to anchor in the Potomac river between the junction of the Washington and Georgetown channels of said river and the extension of the south line of P street southwest in the city of Washington shall anchor as near the flats in said river as possible, so that the channel of said river will not be ob- structed; and if such vessel is to remain over twelve hours, it shall be moored with both anchors, so as to give room for passing vessels and so as not to swing and obstruct said channel.

There seems to be considerable curiosity concerning the work which Mr, Will H. Low of New York has been employed by the Treasury Department to execute dur- ing the next two months, at a salary of 3500 a month. All that the officials will admit on the subject is that it relates to an improved system of designs at the bu- reau of engraving and printing. 1t was cur- rently reported that Mr. Low had been em- ployed to prepare designs for the new se- ries of five per cent bonds authorized by Secretary Cariisle. When this report was brought to Mr. Low’s attention, he said: “The report has evidently arisen from the fact that these bonds are to be issued, and, at the same time, I have been appointed to do some special work for the bureau. My work has nothing to do with the bonds. It is purely of an artistic nature, and has no bearing on financial matters. I have not begun yet, and when I do, my work will be done in New York, and not in Wash- ington. I do not care to say exactly what the nature of my work is, but it is a series of designs which the bureau will take charge of and engrave later. The bureau wants certain things made a little more ar- ustic, and that is all there is in it.” Mr. Low attracted the attention of the treasury officials by his beautiful design of the world’s fair diploma. The statement that he has been retouching the plates for the 5 per cent loan is absurd. Those plates were engraved over a year ago, and the only change necessary for their present use is in the matter of the legend en- graved in script and in the date. This re- touching is the work of an engraver and not of a designer. The general design of the plates remains unchanged, Mr. Low's statement that he will have nothing to do with the preparation of de- signs for bonds, which is corroborated by a@ statement to the same effect made by Mr. Johnson, chief of the bureau of en- graving and’ printing, to a Star reporter last week, is taken to indicate that the bu- reau contemplates a new series of United States notes and has engaged Mr. Low's aid in the preparation of the designs. Changes in the character of the paper circulating medium are of frequent occur- rence, and each succeeding administration has left its impress on the securities is- sued during its regime. Each has shown a desire to surpass its predecessors in the artistic merit of the notes issued by it. It has frequently happened that plates have been engraved from designs prepared dur- ing one administration that are never uti- zed until a succeeding administration, but as a rule each administration has been marked by a distinctive issue of circulating notes, and there is no reason to believe that the present administration will differ in_this respect from its predecessors. Following precedents in this matter, it is not at all !mprobable that Mr. Low will be expected to incorporate in his designs for the notes vignettes of President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and some other distin. guished member of the dominant party. The stock of the bureau includes vignettes of prominent members of the last admin- istration and of soldiers and statesmen who have made their mark before that time, but who have as yet failed to receive recog- nition on our paper currency. This state- ment applies to democrats as well as to republicans. Whether tis is the true theory of Mr. Low’s employment will only appear in the future issues of the paper currency of the government. ————_—e-—___ Im the Colorado Legislature. The joint conference committee to con- sider the differences existing between the two branches of the Colorado legislature have held but one meeting. At that time the house members made a proposition offering to consider a certain number of bills and then adjourn. The senate mem- bers considered the proposition a fair one, but wanted time to confer with the senate majority. It now appears that they still oppose any legislation and object to accepting any Proposition from the joint committee other than one calling for immediate adjourn- ment. The house yesterday took up the business of the session in a serious man- ner, as though they expected to legislate for weeks to come. The house went into committee of the whole to discuss several bills, the first be- ing that relating to child labor. : —+o-+—___ The announcement that Prince Bismarck has promised to visit Emperor William has caused a sensation at Berlin. fmissioners of a dweling house unfit for ——[——E—————————_—— INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

Fisher has returned the notice served by Inspector Odell to remove an old spring. He states that the spring is not on his property, but on the public parking, and he does not, under the circumstances, think he could remove it without permis- sion from the District authorities. Health Officer Hammett referred it back to the Commissioners, with request that it be filled in by the engineer department. Not Properly Nambered. A. H. Semmés has complained to the Commissioners about the numbering of Florida avenue. He says that his number is 2148, and there is a large lot next to him and a house on the other side of the lot which is numbered 2140, whereas the correct number should be 2152. He says by this difference in the num- bering a great many people have a hard time to find his house, especially in the night time. Nuisances on Public Property. Health Officer Hammett has called the attention of the Commissioners to the fol- lowing nuisances on public property, re- ported by the sanitary officers: Foul and offensive odors from sewer trap—needs flushing.

They Want a Good Footwalk. A petition, bearing the names of a num- ber of business men on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, between 19th and 20th streets northwest, has been received by the Commissioners, calling attention to the bad condition of the foot pavement and requesting that the same be by the substitution of a good brick pavement. | O=Ssss3= = The health officer has notified the Com- | ————_________"" J.

The Carpenters’ Council today forwarded to the Commissioners the following resolu- tion adopted at the last meeting of the councik: “That the organized carpenters through their representatives petition the District Commissioners to repeal such portion of the building regulations as applies to thea- ters in the business portion of the city.” In this connection they say: “As the tions stand they amount to a pro- hibition in regard to theaters, it being almost, if not quite an impossibility, to procure the necessary signers for a permit in a iccality suitable to the erection of a theater.” Money to Defend the District. There are pending in the Court of Claims LADIES’ STOGK EXCHANGE, 1421 F ST. XN Stocks, Bonde and Grain bought twenty-four sults against the District of oa ban rae Bees ea Columbia under the act of June 16, 1880, in — which about $500,000 are claimed. These are Private wires to New York and Chicagn in various stages of preparation for trial. Exclusively for Ladies. 4 By section 3 of this act the Attorney Gen- eral is charged with the defense of these sults. For several years appropriations were made for expenses incurred in the de- fense of this class of suits. According to a letter from the Attorney General to the Commissioners today it is anticipated that some expense will be in- curred in the defense of the pending cases. He, therefore, recommends that $1,000 of the last appropriation of $2,500, which was not used, be reappropriated for this ex- pense. Want Information as te Pavements.
