LIKELY TO BE WHITING. Probab! Democratic Candidate for ernor in Michiga Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 7, 1894. Unless a very material change occurs in the situation Justin R. Whiting, the pres- ent Representative from the seventh dis- trict, will be nominated as the democratic candidate for governor. As a candidate he will represent the anti-referee element, and the onslaught made upon him by L. E. Rowley, one of the referees, for making @ fight upon the system of distributing patronage at the Washington end of the Une was what determined him to enter ** ; Justin R. Whiting. the field. He ts the only avowed candidate on the democratic side, and, if nominated, as he is Hable to be, his congressional ca- reer will, of course, be cut short. Mr. Whiting is now in the state looking after his boom and incidentally receiving the encouragement of his friends. As a can- didate Mr. Whiting will have other recom- mendations than that he championed the cause of the anti-referees. Mr. Whiting has never been defeated at the polls. He ran for mayor at St. Clair, a republican stronghold in other days, and was elected. He ran for state senator in @ district which had returned republican senators ever since the party had an ex! ence and came out on top. He was elected and re-elected in the seventh district to Congress, and two years ago was one of the four democrats to pull through in the state. Gov. Rich, as things stand now, will be Trenominated. He wants a second term, not only because he likes the honor, but also as a vindication for the course he pursued in clearing the state house of cor- rupt officials. There is a strong sentiment in the state for abrogating the traditional two terms for governor, and in the con- vention two years ago a resolution to that effect was drafted, but not put through. It is probable that such a resolution to apply to future governors will be introduc- ed and probably adopted. Under the two- term system one man has a four-year chance at the highest office of the gift of the people, and life is not long enough to give all who aspire a shot at the place. It is pretty certain that Gov. Rich will head the republican ticket, but the balance of the ticket is far from being sure. An effort will be made to nominate the officials whom Gov. Rich appointed to fill the created va- cancies, and each of the officials ts willing to see his name on the ticket, but there will be a vigorous kick at such a proceed- ing, and it is possible that new names will appear throughout, with the exception of the governor. The republican campaign will be fought on national lines and the hard times as much as possible, while the democrats will force the fighting on state issues. on Sunday's storm swept away a number of county bridges in Howard county, Md., end did a guod deal of other damage in the valley of the Patapsco.

PARNELLIFES 0 VOTE AGAINST IT Conservatives Predict That It Will ‘ Fail to Pass. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS a LONDON, May 8.—The Parnellites have decided to vote bodily against the second reading of,the budget bill; three or four liberals intend to abstain from voting, and three nationalists are ill. In addition, the government anticipates the defection of Mr. Wm. Saunders, a radical, and Mr. James Keir Hardie, who 1s classed as a “demo- crat and a. socialist,” Thus it is that the government is reported to be relying upon a majority of nine votes only, The conservatives predict that the govern- ment will be unable to carry the bill through its committee’stage, where its fate is believed to rest. ‘The conservatives also predict that if the bill passes its second reading on Thurs- day next it will be carried by a majority of only ten or less, Mr. T. P. O'Connor in the Sun says that the Irish have no need to be appealed to, but that the Mberal- party requires to be | rallied. Mr. O’Connor, also says that if ,the government has not the necessary strength to continue in office it must limp through the session and ought to resign. REVOLT AT BUENOS AYRES. An Unconfirmed: Report Received in London, LONDON, May %.—The Argentine consul general informed the Associated Press to- day that he had learned from an outside but trustworthy source that a revolt had broken out at Buenos Ayres, capital of the Argentine republic. ‘The report was investigated by the Asso- ciated Press, inquiries in regard to the sit- vation of affairs at Buenos Ayres being miade at the Argentine legation, the Bar- ing’s banking house and the Riverplate Bank. At all these places nothing had been heard of a revolt. NEW YORK, May 8.—Senor Carlos Ca ranza, the Argentine consul general in this elty, said: “The only thing that could possibly be construed into a cause for revolution in the Argentine Republic is the present fmanctal stringency. Argentina ts a very large cereal growing country and the farmers are feeling this stringency in a niarked degree” Sold His Birthrig! PARIS, May 8.—M. Lebaudy has with- drawn his forgery suit against Count Ellie de Talleyrand-Perigord, son of the Princess de Sagan, It is added that all losses sus- tained by M. Lebaudy have been reim- bursed to him. As already announced, the Princess de Sagan offered to reimburse M. Lebaudy if he would abstain from prosecuting her son, providing the latter consented to waive his: hetrship to the.family honors in favor of his brother. Demand Hera’s Extradition. PARIS, May ‘8—The Matin reports that the government maintains its demand for the extradition of Dr, Cornelius Herz, the Panama lobbyist from England, in spite of the fact that the courts have accepted the offer of the latter to relmburse to the liqui- dator of the Panama Canal Company the sum of 1,500,000 francs, which sum, together with other large sums which are to be re- imbursed by the executors of Baron de Rei- nach, it is reported, to be devoted to a re- ae of the work upon the Panama canal. Exploration of Labrador. OTTAWA, Ont., May 8.—A letter has been received here from A. P. Low, leader of the government exploring party that left Lake St. John in June last to endeavor to reach Ungave bay by traversing the entire Labrador peninsula from south to north. It took nearly five months for the letter to arrive, but it gives a graphic description of the journey through the interior of Labra- dor ‘and of the magnificent canons of the Caniapscow river and other natural won- ders. During the present summer Mr. Low and his party will attempt to cross Labra- dor from east to west. - ——_—_—_ - HUNGER DROVE HIM TO CRIME. A Destitute Sailor Shot While Rob- bi a Boarding School. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., May 8.—Charles K. Davidson, forty-seven years of age, a native of Germany and a sailor by occupa- tion, broke into the Riverview Military Academy in this city at 3 o'clock this morn- ing amd went. through the cadets’ rooms. The noise made by him awakened two ca- dets, Hugh Bullock and Harold B. Lewis of Atlanta, Ga., who hfd in a corner hall with loaded. revolvers, and as the intruder was coming down stairs they fired four shots at him. Two of the bullets entered his body, but he escaped from the building. He was arrested two hours later at the Central Hudson station, as he was about to take a train for New York, and now lies in a very weak condition at police headquarters, He says that he left the steamer Cam- pania two weeks ago, and has been idie ever since. He says that he was forced to com- mit burglary by sheer hunger, having been in Poughkeepsie two days without food. The cadets have not been arrested. rs With the Manufactured Kind. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 8—The Philadel- phia Natural Gas Company of Pittsburg has been for some time considering the ad- visability of manufacturing gas for fuel purposes. The cost of supplying the natural gas has risen to such a figfire that it is only a mat- ter of a short time until there will be no profit in it. The Philadelphia company is preparing to furnish fuel gas to all con- sumers with the addition of a plant for manufacturing gas. The company’s pro- jected gas manufacturing plant is to be located on Brunot’s Island, near this city, where 181 acres, $1,500 an acre, or a total cost of $271,500, have been purchased. FINDLAY, Ohio, May 8.—After a shut- down of ten months, the Findlay Window Glass Company has started work.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., May 8, 1894. ‘The election held here ‘yesterday for mayor and four members of the town coun- cll turned out to be a rather lively contest and resulted as follows: For mayor, Geo.

Citizens living in the county east of the city are greatly agitated over the appear- ance in their section last night of a dan- gerous “firebug.” This morning complaint was made to the officers at police head- quarters and Inspector Hollinberger detall- ed two of his detectives to make a thorough investigation of the affair. The first ap- pearance of the incendiary was at the col- ered public school building near Benning. There the incendiary used Kerosene oil and would have destroyed the building had not Mr. A. Chapin discovered the fire and sum- moned the neighbors, who turned out in full force and succeeded by the prompt use of salt and water in subduing the flam:s. ‘This fire was stgrted shortly after 10 o’clo2k. A man was seen to walk hurriedly from the little building just before a citizen discov- ered the flames. The colored people living near the schoo! responded to an alarm with- out delay and soon extinguished the fire that had been built on the basement floor and fed with oil. Persons who saw the man are unable to tell anything of his color or appearance, and therefore they do not know whether the “‘firebug” is a tramp or not. Mr. W. H. Lacey’s Barn. Being unsuccessful in this attempt, the flend made a gecond trial at the barn on the place of Mr. W. H. Lacey, a well- known resident of the county, whose home is near Central avenue and the Hamilton road. There the large barn was set on fire and soon the blaze illuminated the heavens and attracted many persons from, their sleeping rooms. Here, as at the bchool house, the colored residents turned out and did good work, and an engine company turned out, but did not go all the way to the scene of the fire, because there was no water there. Mr. Lacey’s horses were saved, but two cows, wagons, carriages and farming im- plements were reduced to dshes. A bucket Mne was esiablished, and the smouldering timbers were thoroughly soaked to prevent flying sparks doing more damage. The loss is estimated at $2,000, and there was an insurance on the building of $1,0u0, Mr. Allma Stable. It was after 1 o'clock before the light from this fire had died away, and then the resi- dents of Benning road this side of the Kas- tern branch came near being called out to assist one of their neighbors, Mr. Daniel Allman, a dairyman, When No. 8 engine company started for the fire on Mr. Lacey’s farm, they went as and, thinking sparks from the engine might do some damage, Mr. All- man got out of bed and examined his prem- ises to make sure that there was no danker. Finding things all right, he again retired, but about 1:30 o'clock a knock at his door awoke him and a colored man informed him that his stable was burning. There were thirty-two cows and three horses in the stable at this time, besides two men sleep- ing in the loft and a large quantity of feed. Mr. Allman ran from the house as quickly as possible and called for help. Fearing the poor dumb animais would fare the fate of these in Mr. Lacey's barn, Mr. Allmen rushed in where the flames had started to do the deadly work and succeeded in ex- tnguishing them before much headway was gained. In doing so he was badly burned about the hands. An investigation of the premises showed that the fire was undoubtedly the werk*of an incendiary and the criminai had come from the direction of Benning, for he had taken one of the coal ofl lamps used to light the county road, and had poured the oil on the stable, where the fire had started. As already stated, the police are investi- gating the three fires and hope to capture the incendiary. <> CIVIL SERVICE ASSOCIATION. An Organization Devoted to Reform to Be Organised Here. A meeting of considerable consequence will be held this evening at Willard's Hotel. It will be held in response to an invitation sent out some days ago, asking those in favor of the formation of a Civil Service Reform Association in the District of Co- lumbia to attend a gathering for the pu>- pose of forming such an organization. A large number of replies have been received from many of the leading ‘and influential citizens, stating that it is their Intention to be present. Others have written to express their sympathy with the movement, and to state that, owing to other engagements, It would be impossible for them to be present. It is evident that there is a wide special in- terest in the purpose of the proposed or- ganization, and that it will meet with the sympathy and enlist the co-operation of a large number of influential men and women. At the meeting this evening it is expect- ed that a temporary organization will be! effected, and speeches will be made by Senator Lodge, Representative Harter and Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith. Among these who have indicated their intention to be present are Dr. Robert Keyburn, Rabbi Stern, Anthony Pollok, J. W. Douglass, W. B. Webb, John Joy Edson, Fredric Ban- croft, Representative Michael D, Harter, T. C, Mendenhall, Theodore W. Noyes, Ed- ward P. Mertz, Francis E. Leupp, Isadore Saks, Teunis 8. Hamlin, Henry B. F.

Preparing for a Triennial Conference Here Next Winte' The National Covnctl of Women of the United States, a delegated body vepresent- ing only associations of national jurisdic- tion, met at Philadelphia yesterday. The delegates from this city were Emma M. Gillett and Jeanette M. Bradicy, represent- ing Wimodaughsis. This National Council has had existence since 1888. It works to promote those principles common to all its constituent organizations. It has co-ordinate national councils, one in Germany, with thirty-five bodies; one in Italy, under the patronage of the queen; one in Canada, under the Count- ess Aberdeen, and one forming in Siam, under the favor of the King of Siam, and the whole are represented in an interna- tional council, under the presidency of the Countess of Aberdeen of Canad: The National Council, which met yeste>- day, is arranging for a triennial congres: of women at Washington next winter, and they have these three immediate objects: 1. That Congress shall equalize the pay of men and women filling the same posi- tions. 2. Dress reform, which means the abolish- ment of the ccrset and of long trains for street wear. 3, That the state commissions on divorce refo>m, seven of which are already ap- pointed, shall be composed of an equal number of men and women. —__-+e-+-___ The Peace Society.

FRUITFUL FIELD FOR DISEASE GERMS Separate Reports and a Combined Effort Submitted Today. BROWNE EXPECTS TO STAY The Coxey eamp was inspected yesterday by representatives of the health office, and now both the owner of the ground and the commonwealers will probably receive notices to abate the nuisance. Mr. Peters of the health office had charge of the inspecting party of eight physicians to the poor and two medical sanitary in- spectors. When the party returned to the health office yesterday afternoon Health Officer Hammett had a talk with them, tell- ing them that he wanted a report made from a purely sanitary standpoint, and he wanted the matter treated the same as any citizen of the District would be treated. The physicians who made the inspection made short reports of the inspection, as fol- lews: Dr. Osman, medical sanitary inspector— The camp is located in the most unhealthy portion of the District. The drainage is bad and I do not believe it can be made good without great expense, labor and time. The piace as it is is in a bad sanitary condition. Dr. Hughes, medical sanitary inspector— The location of the camp is decidedly bad. The surface is below grade, forming a basin for the collection of surface and foul water. It is now covered with trenches made in angles partly filled with surface washings, and for this drainage there is no outlet and no escape except by absorption and evapora- tion; surface marshy and damp, and in a portion horses are stabled. Men sleep on straw laid on bare ground. Absolutely unfit place for habitation, and is a menace to the health of the surrounding neighborhood. Dr. Hannan, physician to the poor —Un- sanitary condition at present and the sur- reundings are of a germ-producing char- acter likely to cause all forms of contagious and infectious diseases. Of the opinion that it is positively an unfit place for camp. Dr. Birdsall, physician to the poor —Sur- | roundings of the camp inside and outside of a germ-producing character. There is no sanitary drainage, t.or can there be an: even with expenditure of thousands of dol- lars. The hospital tent is located in a mud hole. The earth is spongy at all points aid is composed of decomposed animal and vegetable matter throughout. Dr. Goodall, physician to the poor —In as bad sanitary condition as possible. Pools | of stagnant water, horse and human urine, low, damp place; digging, which will cause malarial fever. Dr. Russell, physician to the poor —Not fit for a dog t» live in. Ufinhabitable. Dr. Johnson, physician to the r —No drainage from stable. Matter from stable drains into pools and ditches. No means of drainage except by evaporation. Unfit for habitation and all sorts of diseases likely to eceur, Dr. Mudd, physician to the poor —Decay- ing vegetable and other material. No sani- tary advantages.

Dr. Pettys, physician to the poor —Unin- habitable in any respect whatever by rea- sen of its low condition and miserable sur- | rcundings. The Combined Report. These reports were embodied in one re- port by Mr. Peters and signed by the ph; sicians, as follows: “In compliance w your request we have thie day visited, in a body, the camp occupied by the so-called Coxey army, on square 5%5, between Ist street and Delaware avenue, L and M streets southwest, for the purpose of mak- ing a thorough inspection and report upon its sanitary condition. “In accordance with your instructions we inspected all parts of the so-called camp and respectfully submit the follow- ing report: “Our first observation upon entering the inclosure was that it appeared to be the lowest point in the flat grounds of this sec- tion, near the James Creek canal, without drainage therefrom and no water facilities, except a hydrant on the outside of the fence .which surrounds the camp, on the scuthwest corner of M and Ist streets, be- ing one square from the entrance to the grounds. Pools of stagnant water and human and horse urine were found stan liag inside the fence, as well as in numerous small trenches ‘intersecting the grounds. At one point the earth was being thrown up beneath a large tent, which, seemingly, had just been piaced there, which appar- ently was for the purpose of raising the grcund high enough to prevent water from ertering the tent during rain storms. This earth was of the foulest character, being composed of all sorts of filth, consisting of garbage, vegetable and animal matter, recently deposited there. Gerne-Breeding Possibilities, “The surroundings of this square, includ- ing the premises inside the fence, are, so far as the suface indicates, of a germ- breeding character, likely to cause all forms of contagious and infectious dis- eases. The hospital tent is also used for a commissary department and ts located in what might be termed a mud hole. The earth in nearly all portions of the ground is spongy and is compcsed principally of decomposed vegetable and animal matter. “The horse stables are located in one of the upper portions of the square and the filth, naturally generated in such places, flows on to the ground, jodging in the trenches and pools. At present there is no outlet for this, except by evaporation id absorption, making the surface marsh: damp. The men composing this so-called army sleep on straw laid on bare ground of this character, which. makes it necessarily injurious to their health. in view of the condition of this square, as we have described it, we are of the opinion that it is entirely unfit for human habita- tion and that it should be vacated at once to avoid a possible epidemic of disease to the people of the surrounding neighborhood, as well as to the inhabitants of the whole District. It is a menace to health which cannot be overlooked and we would recom- mend in the strongest language that im- mediate steps be taken to have it vacated in the interests of the public health of the people of the District of Columbia.” Today Hammett forwarded to the Commissioners a copy of this report,» to- gether with a copy of his report made the day the army took possession of the square, as printed in The Star at the time. Speaking to a Star reporter today, Dr. Hammett said he had not fully determined exactly what course he would pursue, as he would wait to see what action would be taken by the Commissioners. He thought it probable that notices would be served in the usual way, and if they were not com- plied with the case wouid be taken into court. Browne Intends to Stay. The commonweal camp at Ist and M streets southwest is rapidly assuming the appearance of a permanent abiding place for the 500 or 600 mea who occupy it. The scenes this morning were a repetition of those of the last three or four days. Gangs of men were hard at work improving the appearance of the ground, and the discipline that had almost disappeared when the army reached Brightwood was again restored, so that there is a regular routine of camp life, which appears to satisfy the commonweal ers and simplify their mode of life. As heretofore stated in The Star, the commonwealers have not’ the most remote intention of moving their quarters. A Star reporter asked Carl Browne this morn- ing what he would do if the committee of physicians which visited the camp yester- day and inspected its condition should make a report condemning it as a nuisance, and advising the Commissioners to immediately take measures to depcpulate it. “If such a report is made,” said the leather-coated marshal, “it will only ac- centuate in the minds of the t mass of the American people the fact that their representatives in this city, who came here for a proper purpose, and were ingpired only by the highest motives of patriotism, are being made the victims of a specious sort of persecution. If any attempt is made to make us move our epcampment you may rest assured that I will resist it by every legal means I can command.” Did you ever have any intention of mov- ing to any other can.ping place after the commonweal pitched its tents at 2d and L streets?” “None in the world,” responded Browne, INDEX ACCOUNTANTS...

I controvert the statement that the encampment is a menace to the health of our people or anybody else in its present condition. We improved it until its dangerets qualities no longer exist. We have ample sewer connections, and !our men are living up to all the laws of {health. It can be easily proved that since our stay there we have benefited the entire neighborhood, and we afe going to stili further improve the camp. We have an nt landscape gardefer in our ranks, number of men under his direction are engaged in attending to the improve- ment of the ground. I repeat that any attempt to eject us from our present camp- ing spot will be regarded by the American people 2s a mean and petty system of per- secution, and that I will use every legal means of resistance to prevent such an [effort from being successfully accom- plished.” The men cherish the sathe sentiment as Browne, but they don't appear to take as much peins in that their regis ance would be “legal.” The fact is that a few days of rest and a regular recurrence of meals has strengthened the independ- ence of the Coxeyites in an amazing de- gree, and men who were dragging their weary, aching limbs down Pennsylvania avenue a week ago today, and then crawled rather than walked to their pres- ent encampment, are getting strong and as vigorous as their natural antipathy to muscular exercise will admit. Last week all they thought of, dreamed of, craved and prayed for was food. Now they are be- ginning again to recite the lessons they have learned from Browne and Coxey, and talk about their rights. Many of them in- dulge in dubious hints about what may occur when the other indust-ials get here and Congress persists in its refusal to Usten to their petitions. gardin, for a where we afe as long as the law ——~_—_ CROWDS AT THE CIRCUS. The Big Tent Thronged With the O14 and Young at Every Performance. | Judging from the street cars and the | Steady streams of pedestrians, it seemed | as though all Washington intended to ren- | dezvous at the greatest show on earth last | evering. Electric cars, cable cars, horse cars, herdics and vehicles of every descrip- tion were pressed into service to transport humanity of every color, size, age and of both sexes to the circus.- At the afternoon performance the entire membership of the Chinese legation was present, Although every seat was occupied at the first performance, that state of affairs was pot a circumstance to the immense crowd at night. As the spectators were departing | frcm the afternoon exhibition others were | crowding about the ticket wagon im order |to secure tickets early for the evening. Before 8 o'clock the sale was discontinued, |as not another person could be accommo- dated within,.which clearly proves that the | marvelous attraction of the canvas-inclosed | exhibition is surely not on the wane. The elephants, camels, sacred cattle, ponies and | Seldom ‘seen wiid beasts in the immense menagerie tent attracted interested specta- | tors,as did the Midway Plaisance of strange people, the Esquimaux baby coming in for | a good share of attention and admiration. | But the circus proper was the Mecca of ail, After the opening parade and exhibition of trained wild animals in the steel cage, as described in yesterday's Star, the little cores were amused with an exhibition of tumbling over the backs of elephants and camels, the antics of the clowns causing many a laugh. And ‘the score or more of clowns have untoid quantities of original and novel freaks and antics this season, and take occasion to display them at every pcssible opportunity. One funny ma vith a big saw, separated a comrade lengthwise | through the spinal column, and the two {parts then tottered about the arena for | several minutes, presenting a decidedly un- canny appearance. Trained elephants, horses, ponies and pigs, wonderful equestrian feats, startling tra- peze acts and flying leaps that caused frightened “Ohs” and “Il wish he wouldn't do titat again, suppose he should fall,” from the ladies, were to be seen without limit. Male and female acrobats, Japanese jug- glers and other features too numerou: mention held the close attention of the sembled multitude until the hippodrome races, which, though impaired because of the spongy condition of the ground, were exciting. ‘The big show was followed by a concert, the program being made up of a number of decidedly interesting theatrical features. Large numbers of people visited the side show, where startling freaks may be seen. A larger attendance, if possible, attended the great show this afternoon than the day performance yesterday. The last perform- ance is to be given this evening, after which the canvas and everybody and everything else will disappear as suddenly and as mys: teriously they came, and then Washing- ton must wait another long year for the circus to again come to town. Mr. George O. Starr, the press agent, con- ducted the entire congress of strange people to the White House yesterday afternoon, where President Cleveland shook hands with them all,except the Hindoo sheiks,who refu to participate in the ceremony. Mrs. Cleveland and the babies were present at the reception. On the White Lot, shortly after, the Australians exhibited thefr skill in throwing boomerangs,and the Esquimaux showed the method of handling their long dog whips. Mr. Cleveland expressed him- self as highly pleased with the visit. —— Seme Nom! tions. The President yesterday sent to the Sen- ate the following nominations: United States marshais—Nicholas A.
