BLASTED A Clothing Manufactory Shuts Down. Syracuse, N. Y., suffers the loss of one of its large manufacturing industries— forced to close its doors for the season because of the uncertainty counected with the final outcome of the vexed TARIFF QUESTION Aster making up all material on hand, our large clothing factory in Syracuse, N. ¥., employing more than three hundred skilled artists, was ordered “shut down” for the season. This move was made peremptory om account of the dilatory methods employed by Congress in handling the tariff question. We did not wish to risk large purchases of materials, as tm former years, hence have manufactured all we hed and stopped. This entire residue of the seasoa’s production, comprising about fifty eases of the exceptionally fine Clothing for which we have become noted, is now im our store, sent here WITH ORDERS TO REALIZE, NO MATTER HOW GREAT THE SACRIFICE.

Gaddis versus John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, an affidavit was fied yesterday, signed by Charles Hedges, which stated that seme time prior to August 1, 1893, a certain J. Fount Tillman said in conversation with the afflant, in speaking of removing republicans from the office of the register of the treasury, that a man named Gaddis, meaning Eugene E. Gaddis, was a red-hot republican and wouki have to go, meaning that Gaddis would be from the office because he was a republican. Henry H. Smith, late acting register of the treasury, aleo submitted a sworn statement relating to a conversation between Register Tillman and Chief Clerk Logan Carlisle, during which the latter said to the former thet there was a man by the name of Gad- dis on the register’s roll “who ought to be fired, and that he (Tillman) ought to so recommend, as Gaddis was a republican and had been an offensive partisan.” —__->-— To Burn Judge Bradley's Effigy. A special dispatch from Lexington, Ky., to the New York World says: “A tremendous effort is being made to convince the people of this district that the verdict against Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge im the Pollard case was due to the eharge of Judge Bradley to the jury, which is al- leged to have been unfair. Thousands of circulars asserting that the charge and ver- dict were unjust are being circulated. The rural press repeats the tale, and in Wood- ford county the friends of Col. Breckinridge are so aroused that a big meeting is to be held, at which Judge Bradley is, to be burned in effigy.” — ~ ---+e0e ‘The Vacuum Oil Company, which has con- trolled the sale of two-thirds of the lubri- cating oil consumed in the west, will be consolidated May 1 with the Continental Otl Company, the western representative of the Standard Trust. luce of my Kitchen wishes to inform the public that she finds nothing to equal GOLD DUST WASHING POWDER.

Deserted by Their Officers—Gov. Pen- moyer Refused to Call Out the ; Militia—army Notes. ‘The Rock Island officials anticipate serious trouble with Kelley's industrial army today, and last night the camp deputies and rail- Toad people were in a state of excitement over what was feared would be an ap- Proaching crisis. Over 100 men of the Sac- Tamento division asserted last night that they would walk no further and announced that they had determined to ride and to ride on a Rock Island train. The Rock Island People wired east and west for additional ®ays in part: . “Threats having been made that a train of this company will or may be seized by par- other like organisation, for the purpose of other organ! lor the purpose ot compan; ge ties a: beret, ieee that in y, notice y given that in y such seizure ered about the camp fires ‘notice and the air was goon filled With denunciation of the officials. Kelley was highly incensed at the action company. “This is an attempt to incite my men to riot or to make them just make us lawless us will fail. We will not seize a train, we will get it at Des Moines without seisure.” ‘Most of the men said they would do noth- ing without orders from Kelley, but the Sac- mento men were sullen and answer inquiries, merely reiterating that they would walk no further. Twerty men were arrested Atlantic, Towa, yesterday for boarding a train and 180 scattered themselves alon; between there and Adair. lany attempted to steal rides. At Anita fifty men left the ranks and stood by the waiting for a freight train which on the siding with the evident in- tention of boarding it. Division Supt. Fox with fifteen railroad men was with the train, and seeing the threatening demon- strations backed the string of cars a quar- ter of a mile and went past the industrials at @ speed which prevented their boarding it. They jeered and hooted as it shot past and three men threw rocks at the locomo- tive and cars. About 100 recruits were se- cured in and about Atlantic and the army last night numbered 1,254. Deserted by the Officers. A special from Washington Court House, Obio, says: Col. Gavin and his captains deserted their industrial army of 200 here this afternoon, disavowing all responsibility for the actions of that body. The mayor of this city ordered the army out, and the men are camped tonight two miles east of hefe waiting for the 4 a.m. Baltimore and Ohio freight, which they propose to hold up and capture. The railroad company is taking precautions to prevent this. About twentv detectives and railroad officials are watching the army. G Frye at Indicnapolis. Gen. Frye and local representatives of the labor organizations called on Gov. Mat- thews at Indianapolis last evening. They were cordially received by the governor, who said he hoped the industrial army would receive good treatment while in In- @ianapolis. He said he believed the people of Indianapolis would keep the army in Wisions while it remained here. Gen. said he did not know when he would leave for Washington, and said he did not care, but thought he would remain here indefinitely and mak: i F AB e fee of 10 cents to his lec- 3. Coming From New England. The New England branch of the indus- trial army was somewhat successful yes- terday. After leaving East Greenwich, K.I., they went to Wickford junction, where they encamped in a vacant lot behind the train house and ate dinner. During the march they were stopped by Charles Hop- kins, who supplied them with all the milk they could drink, as well as plenty of cof- fee, before he wished them success on their trip. Just before leaving East Greenwich an old soldier named Donnelly presented the army with a flag which belonged to one of Gen, Sheridan's regiments during the civil war, and this is now being carried by Jos. Smith, the small flag having been di carded. The army reached Wickford a 12:15, and after dinner, which was no more @laborate than usual, the march to King- ston was taken up. The army hopes to be out of Rhode Island today. The Providence contingent of the Coxey army encamped in a barn at Danielsonville, Conn., last night. What they lack in uum- bers they make up in disreputable appear- ance, for it is a long time since the citi- have entertained a more repulsive Ing set of men. Sympathizers furnish- ipper for the men and agreed to give them a breakfast in the morning. The leaders of the people's party at Mer- iden, Conn., are preparing to enroll a com- band of Coxeyites will tart from Hartford for Meriden early to- day if no word is received from Gen. Fitz- | ea column, and will push on to New laven to join the column there. He will have his regulars and a few Hartford re- ¢cruits. The number of the latter who give indication of standing true has greatly di- minished. They had yesterday dandelions to cook for dinner, with salt pork. They passed the night at Wetherfield. Refused to Summon the Troops. The industrial army, about 500 strong, camped at Troutdale, eighteen miles from Portland, Ore., took possession of the Union Pacific station and drove out the operator yesterday morning. As soon as the news reached Portland, attorneys for the Union Pacific applied to Judge Bellinger of the United States district court for an injunc- tion restraining the army from interfering With the company’s property. United States Marshal Grady left at 2 o’clock on a special train for Troutdale, where he served the order on Gen. Sheffer, leader of the army. Late yesterday afternoon Sheriff Kelly re- quested Gov. Pennoyer to order the militia to Troutdale, but the governor refused to comply. Another Army Starts. Yesterday afternoon a new industrial army started on the march, and before it reaches its destination the outlook is that it will be larger than all the commonweal and industrials of Coxey and Kelly put to- gether. A wing of an army of miners left Spring Valley, Lll., for Toluca, Charles Dev- lin’s new mining town, where some 500 men are working in the mines. Nearly 2,000 men moved from Spring Valley, and other miners were simultaneously marching in trom neighboring mining camps. Ladd sent a delegation of 400 miners. Five com- missary wagons were filled with fcod, the contribution of business men. Fred Knowles is commander-in-chief of the forces. He is- sued an order to the effect that no one would be allowed to carry arms. The sheriff of hall county, with a lot of deputies, is at Toluca, awaiting the Spring Valley army. Notes of the Brigades. ‘The Coxey army craze has at last reached El Reno, Okla., and Wednesday and yester- day an army of 700 men was organized to Move on to Washington and join the clamor for a change. A small change will do many of them. Most of the army are prosperous men in various walks of life, who ally themselves with the movement as an index of their dissatisfaction with the existing order of things commercially. James Eldridge of San Francisco yester- day opened headquarters for recruiting a Coxey army in Detroit. Eldridge spoke be- fore the Central Labor Union last night, ex- Pl ing his plans. He said he was one of the izers of the San Francisco army now traveling eastward. The labor union took action indorsing the movement and many recruits are expected. The Tacoma, Wash., contingent of the indvstrial army announces that it will start Saturday. Marshal Drake sent deputy mar- shals to Seattle yesterday to reinforce those now there. Three thousand Coxeyites will be co..centrated at Hooker junction, ninety miles east of here, by Sunday. The Seattle industrial army is in camp just south of the city limits. Today the army will reach Kent, about fifteen miles dis- tant. It is unlikely that the men wil to capture a train Gen. Sanders is a fine specimen of man- hood, has a soldierly bearing and is fairly well educated. Instructions were received at the depart- ment of the Columbia yesterday to req court relative to the threatened capture of @ Union Pacific train near Troutdale, The industrials under Gen. Shepard yes- terday marched across the Puyallup reser- vation. They expected to camp last night at Puyallup with the Tacoma contingent. The following dispatch has been sent to Gen. Coxey from Oklahoma City: “De- tachment of the commonweal army about 700 strong is organized in this territory, principally at Guthrie and Oklahoma City, drilled in military form, and ready to jvin your command. Railroad officials have re- fused transportation of any kind. Meetings are held every night. Great enthusiasm is prevailing, with popular approval. Organ- ization will be maintained, subject to your advice and order.” A meeting of the citizens of Crested Butte, Col., was held yesterday, at which 150 per- sons signed articles indorsing the Coxey movement and organized a contingent of Nong hy army reserve, The army will num- men. Gen. Grayson’s army came into Orchard, Col., yesterday, with flags flying. It is the intention of the army to seize a Guif freight train tonight. The indus were oad very cordially rece) ved and no prepara- lions had been made the people for their entertainment, on ~~ USE OF L STREET, The Senate Subcommittee Give a Fur- ther Railroad Hearing. Senators Faulkner, McMillan and Hans- brough, the subcommittee of the Senate District committee in charge of the Belt line extension bill, and Senators Harris and Proctor of the full committee heard argu- ments yesterday afternoon for and against that measure. Mr. Johnston of Riggs & Co., for the op- Ponents, explained the propriety of the pro- vision in the bill which recognizes the deed securing the outstanding bonds of the com- pany as a first lien on the proposed addi- tional franchises and extensions, as well as on the existing lines of the company. Mr. W. K. Schoepf said that the company, as well as the District Commissioners and the House committee on the District,recognized the propriety of this provision and were in favor of its retention. Mr. Crammond Kennedy, for the protest- ing owners of property, said there were four parties interested in such cases—the govern- ment, the general public, the company and the owners of property on the line of the Proposed extension—who were the persons Most directly affected. The company’s ob- ject was profit, the pursuit of which kept the wheels of the world in motion and fur- nished us with all the appliances of modern civilization. bill affected his clients, the property owners, in the most direct and serious manner, They were living in quiet and comfort in the homes of their choice. They had all the railroad facilities they wanted. The street was only thirty-two feet wide, from curb to curb. Let double tracks be laid, and electric cars be run day and night, and let the street be widened, as the bill contemplated, and the trees be cut down, and the terraces leveled, and where now were peaceful and comfortable homes would be noise, confusion, danger, the glare of the sun and the clang of the gong. Was there any such public demand for a cross- town line in that particular place as would justify Congress in inflicting such injuries upon those citizens and their property? The entrances to the Sunday schools of All Souls’ Church, 14th and L, and the Church of Our Father, 13th and L,were on L street. There was another church further west, the Shiloh Baptist Church, with ingress and egress on L street. Damages to Citisens. Senator Faulkner assented to the propo- sition of Mr. Kennedy that Congress could put a price on the franchises, but asked Mr. Kennedy on what principle damages could be paid to private citizens when they did not own the parking or the streets, Mr. Kennedy said that they had a claim trre- spective of ownership—that they had spent their money and established their homes on faith of existing conditions, and on falth that if these conditions were changed by the government for the promotion of the public convenience, the burdens, as well as the benefit, would be equally distributed. That was how governments should deal with individuals, and no better or more proper use could be made of Lowi give that profit- seeking enterprises should be required to pay for the necessary franchises than to compensate for actual ascertainable dam- ages. Senator Hansbrough asked how the dam- ages would be assessed, and Mr. Kennedy sald that was a mere matter of administra- tion; that it had been done by the New York courts on a large scale in the case of the elevated railroads. The Senator sug- gested that commissioners could be appoint- ed. Senator McMillan inquired whether Mr. Kennedy really believed that private citi- zens bad any rights at all as against these enterprising corporations and “syndicates” —to shade trees, quiet ets, or even a steady supply of water. Mr. Kennedy said he :thought that citizens had some rights, and that Congress would see that they were not sacrificed. For the Co ys Mr. Schoepf, in replying for the company, said that the failure to fix any time for the commencement or completion of the work in the substituted bill was an oversight, which the company was more than willing to have corrected, and that it would agree to commence operations in thirty days and to complete the work within a year from the passage of the bill. He mitted that not the company’s first choice own line,and claimed that the thirty-six-inch main would not be under but on one side of the tracks. He claimed also that there was a public necessity and demand for the proposed extensions, and that he had obtained eighty or more signers within twenty-four hours, but when ques- tioned he said that none of the signers ex- cept one owned property on L street be- tween 5th street and Connecticut avenue. Mr. Wm. H. Trescot said that when the proper time came for a new cross-town line the District Commissioners and Cot should take up the question deliberately and settle it on its merits permanently, or at least for the next ten or twenty years, ahd not have a series of bills suggesting diffter- ent streets and dodging and az! ng about, and keeping residents in a state of perpetual uncertainty and anxiety. ‘s te ear aaa aL WORK FOR YOUNG MEN. The District Conference of the Y. M. Cc. A. at Annapolis, Md. The district conference of the third and fourth districts of the Young Men's Chris- tian Associations of Maryland, the District of Columbia, West Virginia and Delaware commences at Annapolis today and will con- tinue through Saturday and Sunday.

Washingtons Hit Meekin’s Delivery Hard at the Start and Then Stupped. Again yesterday it looked as though ‘Washington would conquer John Mont- gomery Ward's aggregation of base ball Players with ease, but it didn’t. Four runs were made by the local men at the start, and another in the fifth inning, but that was all. Meekin and Farrell, of $7,500 fame, were the battery for the Giants, and the star pitcher was touched up rather live- ly in the first. Frank Ward waited for four bad balls, Joyce followed with a two-bagger, and a moment later old reliable Abbey wild, runner wended his way to second. Tebeau popped one in the air, which landed in Farrell’ -10211 -4000100005138 No game today. Brooklyn tomorrow. How the Clubs Stand. New York... 0040x7 92 ‘Washington : 1600] Chicago. tes of the Game. Umpire Lynch was right in his decision when Abbey, running to second, was struck with @ batted ball. Playing rule 47, sec- tion 12, declares that the base-runner is out if a fair ball strike him before touch- ing the fielder, and in such case no base shall be run unless forced by the batsman becoming a base-runner, and no run shall be scored, or any other base- out. The tmpire threatened to place a fine of $25 on Joyce because that player made a single remark from the bench. The New Yorks, however, talked as they pleased. After a questionable decision, during the early part of the contest, Manager Schmelz notified the umpire that the game would be played out under protest.

Selbach can doubtless play center as well as it, and he is a treas- ure, while everyone knows that Paul Rad- ford has no superior as a right fielder. Tebeau has not got his eye on the ball yet. He is too apt to strike out or hit into the air. Radford is surely his equal at pres- ent when the team has its innings. The Star advocated a fair trial for Frank Ward, and it isn’t by any means certain that he isn't all right, but just now he is suffering from a case of uncertainty, which sends shivers through the bleachers whenever @ ground ball goes to him. might be given a trial at second until he Proves that he won't do, without causing any complaint. Umpire Lynch didn’t favor the home team yesterday, but there is no use getting the reputation as an umpire killer in the ning of the season. It won't do the town any good with the rest of the staff. Gtve Lynch credit for honesty, anyhow. To be sure, he gave Davis his base for be- ing struck by a pitched ball, when every- body thought he bunted it, and should have been given a strike, but then Lynch was there and he may have been right in his decision. Anyhow the people that always blame the umpire are generally being beaten on their merits. Somebody is keeping score of the number of times Joe Sullivan stumbles. If his hits would only equal his falls he would be a slugger. But then he plays hard, and earnestness always tells with the Wash- ington crowd. anyone see much difference be- tween Farrell and McGuire this season? Mac is in splendid condition, and as he isn't playing second fiddle this year, is putting up a strong game. It is a pleasure to see Selbach handle the ball. He wastes no time pass after getting it, but sends it to the . infield promptly. He made a wonderfully accurate throw to the home plate on Wednesday. Abbey is a great favorite.

Great interest is felt in base ball circles in the game today between Mike Kelly's Allentown, Pa., team and the Bostons. The former, apparently, have not one chance in ten of winning, but it is often the unex- pected that happens in base ball. Kelly has gathered a collection of “has beens,” and it will be interesting to see how they compare with the new school of base ball as represented by Tucker, McCarthy, Duf- fy, et al. In Kelly's team are Sam Wise, John Milligan, George Wood, Ted Larkin, Joseph Mulvey, and Peter Browning wili soon arrive. The other men are players of more or less repute, two of them being very promising youngsters. Boston has prom- ised to put its strongest team in the field, and Kelly says it is necessary, as he means to make trouble for the three times cham- pions. The city and town officials of Al- lentown, the Bethlehems and Catasauqua, as well as the councilmen, have been in- vited by President Johnson to be present. An hour before the game opens the Al- Jentown Band will give a concert. The grand stand is provided with 2,000 folding seats and there is seating room for 3,000 more. It is believed from the great inter- est manifested that every seat will be filled. Some of the best known base ball men in the country will attend the game. DIXON AND GRIFFO MATCHED. The Fight to Take Place in Boston on June 18, George Dixon and young Griffo will meet in a finish battle at Boston on the night of June 18 for the feather-weight champion: ship of the world and a side bet of $5,000 a side. This was practically the result of the meeting of Griffo and his backers, Messrs. Behn and Fitzgerald of Chicago, and Tom O'Rourke, representing Dixon, last night at Miner’s Bowery Theater, New York. The terms of the fight are virtually the same as those agreed upon in Chicago some time ago, when the forfeit of $1,000 a side was posted, vis. the men to weigh in at 120 pounds at noon on the day of the con- test. So far only one offer has been made for the battle. t was one of $2,500 by the National Sporting Club of London. Both Griffo and Dixon looked upon this offer as @ joke and never considered it. Last night they agreed that if no suitable offer was number of rounds, but the battle will be to a finish. This is an inside understanding. There was not a word said by the Griffo The Secret of Strength.
