NOBLE AMBITION aS eee TH STREET. i | | i A bal The first annual contest of the Epworth League Oratorical Association of the Dis- trict of Columbia will be held tomorrow night in the Metropoiitan Methodist Episco- pal Church, at $ p.m., and a great desl of interest is centering in the event. Four of the largest Methodist churches of Wash- ington will be represented by contestants \for honors, and it is anticipated that large numbers of students of iaw and others interested in oratory will be present to witness this final struggle for supremacy. The Oratorical Association was organized about the middle of May last, through the efforts and enthusiasm of Mr. George F. Cahill, chairman of the literary depart- |ment of the Foundry Chapter of the Ep- worth League. He issued a call about that This Season’s Cloaks Alalf Price.

Am Organization Formed. An organization was &t once formed with the leagues of Foundry, Hamline, Metropol- itan,Waugh, Douglass and McKendree Meth- odist churches as charter members, and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, George F. Cabill of Foundry; vice president, Seth E. Tracy of Foundry; secretary, E. W. Williams of Hamline, and treasurer, Miss M. M. Beck of Douglass. A constitution was adopted, which states the object of the association to be to “foster and promote the study and practice of oratory, English composition and literature.” To accomplish this it pro- vides that in each chapter there shall be a local or chapter contest, and that the winner at this contest shall reperesent his church in a general or final contest to oc- Frilied Garter Wa and 15c.

The church was tastefully decorated and nothing was wanting that could be de- sired to give a charm to the occasion and inspiration to the contestants. The large auditorium of the church was well filled by an appreciative audience, composed of friends of oratory and persons interested in titerary exercises of this character. The orations were the original compositions of the contestants, and displayed careful prep- aration and true ability. Tae oration by Mr. W. H. Kerr on “Masterywas awarded THE LAST NIGHT SESSION Tariff Oratory of Every Description Heard in the House Last Night. Representatives Anxious to Talk on the Subject for the Benefit of Their Constituents. ‘The gas-light sessions of the House on the tariff bill closed last night with a blaze of oratory. There was pro-tarif ani anti- tariff talk from every part of the Unton. There were all sorts and conditions of opin- ions, and it seemed as though the friends and enemies of the bill were all going up in a splendid flight of rockets. In fact, so many members took the floor to say their little last say on the bill that the issue of the Congressional ‘Record that made its ap- pearance this morning was rot long enough to hold them all, not even their brief notices that “Mr. So-and-so addfessed the commit- tee. His remarks will appear hereafter.” Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin first had the ear of Chairman Enloe and his flow speakers of the evening and the stenegraplier and the galleries. He told what a horrid thing free trade is, and what a boon fs protection. He said real harsh things about the Wilson bill, and sat down to the tune of considerable hand clapping. Then Mr. Baker of Kansas gave the populist’s view of the case, and extolled the income tax to the skies. He did the regulation thing with bare ri \d glowed in his descriptions of the eonnitions oe the farmer and the millionaire. He blacked both the eyes of the typical robber baron ‘that has been used as @ lay figure throughout the debate, and sat down to just a little more applause than had greeted Mr. Cooper. Next Mr. Hooker of New York tried his hand. He switched the discussion over into the republican chan- nels, and so kept up an interest that might have been lacking if the debate had all been one way. He painted a picture of the pros- perity that almost smothered the land in October, 1892, and then, with a swift stroke of his ten-inch brush, he changed the scene and gave a parallel view of the desolation that swept over the land as soon as the election returns had been received. The re- phblicans went into a little fit of ecstasy when Mr. Hooker had finished and seemed very glad they were on the wrong side, it was such jolly fun. . Mr, Hunter of Illinois gave a dissolving view of the democratic theories of the tariff and the income tax, and swallowed the en- tire bill, amendments and all. He was suc- ceeded on the floor by Mr. Kem, who classes himself as an independent, but who, coming from Broken Bow, Neb., in near proximity to Medicine Lodge, may be suspected of be- ing just a wee bit of a populist. He gave corroborative evidence of such a state of things last night in his speech, which fairly reeked with Simpsonism and anti-everything but the farmer. Mr. Cummings on Trade Unions’ Dis- tress. Mr. Cummings of New York was the next attraction. Mr. Cummings told of the dis- tress of some of the trace unions of New York that had desired to be heard by the committee on ways and means, and had been unable to catth the attention of Mr. Cockran, the New York member on that committee. He spoke of the needs of the wold-beaters. the flower and feather work- ers, the tobacco strippers, the rattan mak- ers, the ‘ithographers, the workers in ivory, the pencil makers, and a number of other classes, which had absolutely required an audience that they could not obtain. In conciusion he sai “This bill blasts industries in my district Uke the breath of a simoon. All that I have asked, and ail that I do now ask, is that the amendments which these trades unions desired to have me offer should be laid | before the House, ani a vote taken upon | jthem.

What the Gossips Say as to the Reas sons That Chunged His Plans. Senator McPherson has returned to town from the south and hopes to be able to go on with his duty on the finance committee of the Senate in connection with the tariff | bill. This sudden change of mind on the |part of the Senator is attributed to cer- | tain Influences that have been brought to | bear on him since the announcement last | week of the appointment of Senator Mills as his substitute on the committee. The people of New Jersey are very directly | interested in a revision of the tariff sche- |@ule. They look to Senator McPherson as their apostle of the Jersey belief in @ mod- erately high tariff on certain articles, and it is understood he received a number of protests against his going south when he | made the trip in the early part of the ses- sion. | His health, however, was really and he was obliged to go. When he the request to Chairman Voorhees to put somebody on the committee in his his throat was in such shape that it have been really imprudent for him to have returned to Washington, but had the news of Mr. Mills’ reached New Jersey than letters and tele- gra | i transferred to the care of a Texan, proclivities are known to lead toward free trade. Then He Came Back. So great, indeed, was the pressure that Mr. McPherson determined to swallow his pique over the selection of Senator Jones of Arkansas tobe chairman of the sub- ccmmittee on the tariff bill and to risk his throat with the Washington climate, rather than to incur the displeasure of the people of New Jersey. So he has come home parently zealous for service on the ‘commits tee. Up to this time, however, he has bees unable to leave the house, for his physician has given him orders to rest from the jour- nef from Aiken, 8. C., before taking up his work. He hopes to be able to resume his seat in the Senate next week. Some of his friends, it is said, are now trying to persuade him to return south, for they fear that he will become a martyr to his desire to please his constituents and will permanently jeopardize his health if he persists in staying here through the siege that is certain to come when the bill is sent to the Senate from the House. + e+ THE BAILEY RESOLUTION. | Not Likely That There Will Be a Mie nority Report. When the Bailey resolution, questioning the authority of the Secretary of the Treas- ury to issue bonds and apply the proceeds to the current expenses of the government comes before the House, there is not likely to be an organized leadership of the oppo- sition from the minority of the judiciary committee. There were four votes cast against the resolution in the committee by Representatives Layton of Ohio, Stockdale , and Wolvert of Pennsyi- tood by, the sup- orters of the that its oppo- beats did not care to im ch it as @ state- ment of the law, but were disposed to ques- tion its expedi This view was cor- roborated this morning by members of the minority, but they i not care to frame their position for quotation. Two mi reports, denying the right sof the § y to use the cash paid im for bonds for other purposes than resump- tion, have been presented to the House; one signed by the democrats and the other by the republicans who voted for the resolu- thon. 1 republican. the committee discussions, Representa- i tive Layton took the leading part it de- fense of eretary’s position, holding that an: the treasury, whether the re 4 sales or not, if not expre: ted for other purposes by acts of Congress, might be absorbed in the resular @ rsements.
