There was a gathering of colored lawyers, Preachers and politicians in Judge Kim- ball’s court this morning, all interested in @ case involving a charge of disorderly con- duct against W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee, and also a member of the bar and leader of a political faction. Rev. J. W. Howard, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church, Was the prosecuting witness. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh prosecuted the case and Lawyer Peyton appeared to assist him. Editor Chase defended his own case. Rev. Howard detailed the conversation, telling of the alleged foul language used by Chase, but Rev. Bishop Johnson, who was present, said that the language had no place in his (Johnson's) mouth. The meeting between the Rev. Howard and Editor Chas took place yesterday near the corner of Sd and E streets northwest. Both men were excited and there was every indication that a fight would end the meet- ing, but the Rev. Johnson acted as peace- maker and prevented blows. It appears that the character of church notices con- cerning the Rev. Howard, as they appear- ed in the columns of the Bee, was not rel- ished by the pastor, and he ceased taking the pap Yester y Editor Chase and Rev.

HE MAKES A CONFESSION BROOKLYN, N. Y., May 29.—Ex-Justice of the Peace Kenneth F. Sutherland of Gravesend this morning was sentenced to two years and eight months in Sing Sing prison and to pay a fine of $500. This sen- tence includes the sentence already im- posed for misdemeanor of one year im- prisonment and $500 fine. Justice Sutherland made the following confession before sentence was pronounced: “On election day several hundred ballots were delivered to me by the inspectors. I went into a booth and personally prepared them for voting. I then delivered them to the inspectors and they were put into the boxes as voted ballots. They were all fic- titious. “Of my own knowledge, both direct and indirect, I am able to say that on election day between 800 and ® fictitious votes were cast out of a total of 1,512 in the sec- ond district of Gravesend alone. “Between 1,400 and 1,500 fictitious votes Were cast out of a total of 3,600. I know of between 2.100 and 2,200 fictitious votes cast at the last election in Gravesend. “In 1892, out of a total of 2,000 votes, 1,200 fictitious ones were cast. All of these votes were called the straight democratic ticket, but, as a matter of fact, there had been no difference in the parties in Graves- end for years.” - —— DEATH WERE BETTER. Mrs. Hoff Cou! "t Bear to Be Treated With Contumely. NEW YORK, May 2.—Bernardina D. Hoff, ‘Afty-six years old, a very accom- plished Swedish musician, committed sui- cide this morning by attaching a tube to a gas jet and placing it in her mouth. Miss Hoff had been in this country ten years. She was teacher of music at the Asylum for the Blind in this city, at 34th and 9th avenue. She lost this position and then took charge cf a seminary in Hagerstown, Md., which she also lost on account of her recent pecullarities. She then went to live with her sister and her husband. The latter refused to live in the same house with his wife's the two sisters going to live together. Miss Hoff's health grew worse and she consulted a physician. An operation was found necessary and as no hope could be given for her ultimate recovery she ended her life. oe eee TWENTY BISHOPS PRESENT. Missionary Conference of the Church of England Opened. LONDON, May 29.—The sessions of the military conference of the Church of Eng- land were opened this morning in St. James Hall, Piccadilly. Twenty bishops were present, and the hall was crowded with delegates. The Archbishop of Canter- bury presided. In his inaugural address the archbishop reviewed the missionary efforts made from the middle ages, and concluded with de- claring that the present system of mis- sions by societies could endure because their success was largely due to party spirit. The day was approaching, he added, when societies, like politics, could not be conducted by parties. The church must be its own missionary society. SENATOR GORMAN WORSE.

At the date of the report order prevailed in all parts of the islands. If Liliuokalani or her adher- ents contemplated an outbreak on the eve of the election, knowledge of the conspiracy had not been obtained by the officers of the American fleet. It seemed clear to Admiral Walker that the program of the provi- sional government as mapped out in earlier advices from Hawaii would be carried into execution. ‘The Japanese had made somewhat vigor- ous demands that they should have the right of suffrage in the islands, but there was no apparent disposition on the part of the provisional government to grant such a concession. More recently these demands have grown less earnest, and the departure of one of the Japanese cruisers for home waters might lead to the conclusion that no further serious attempts to enforce them would be made. Admiral Walker reported satisfactory Progress in the work of making surveys for the coaling station on Pearl river. “It has been found that the entnancebte the river, instead of being blocker: by ‘a-high coral reef, is chiefly obstructed» by: ai sand spit, which can be removed at reasdnable cost and little delay. ) on Reports from Lieut.Wood, who had charge of the surveying expedition, -indicate that the mouth of the river can be cleared within about six months and at a cost not to ex- ceed $300,000. The intimation that this coun- try intends establishing a coaling station on Pearl river is having a quieting effect upon the ambition of other countries who are known to have looked with envious eyes upon Hawaiian territory. At the date of Admiral Walker’s report there were only tHree men-of-war at Hono- lulu—the Philadelphia, an English cruiser and a Japanese vessel. SR EMPLOYING TROOPS. . Schofield Tells Who Can Com- mand Our Soldiers. In order that there may be no room for misunderstanding as to the real functions of federal troops ordered out to assist judi- cial officers in protecting railroads and other properties from organized bodies of lawless men, Gen. Schofield has issued the following clear instructions for the govern- ment of the commanders of the different de- partments of the army: “Whenever the troops may be lawfully employed under the orders of the President to suppress ‘insurrection in any state against the government thereof,’ as pro- vided in section 5207 of the Revised Stat- utes; or to ‘enforce the execution of the laws of the United States,’ when ‘by rea- son of unlawful obstructions, combinations or assemblages of persons’ it has ‘become impracticable, in the Judgment of the Presi- dent, to enforce, by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, the laws of the United States,’ as provided in section 5298 of the Revised Statutes, the troops are employed | as a part of the military power of the Uni- ted States, and act under the orders of the President, as commander-in-chief, and his military subordinates. They cannot be di-| rected to act under the orders of any civil officer. The commanding officers of the! troops so employed are directly responsible to their military superiors. Any unlawful | or unauthorized act on their part would not | be excusable on the ground of any order or | request received by them from a marshal | or any other civil officer.” ee MEMBERS PROTEST. Reasons for Opposing Mrs. Aldrich a: Superintendent. Four members of the board of trustees of the Girls’ Reform School entered a vigorous protest with the Commissioners today against the appointment of Mrs. Aldrich as superintendent of the Girls’ Reform School. It will be recalled that at a recent meet- ing of the board of trustees of the tnstitu- tion five members voted to appoint Mrs. Aldrich to the superintendency of the school made vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Matthews. The board of trustees consists of nine members, and four of that number voted against the election. Before the election is made final the Commissioners, who have direct control of the school, have to approve the appointment. This has not yet been done. This morning ex-Commissioner Thomas P. Morgan, who is one of the teustees of the Girls’ Reform School, appeared before the Commissioners and presented the fol- lowing protest, which is signed by Mrs. Laura Comstock Bates, Mary Howe Totten and Louise Reed Etowell and Thomas P. Morgan: : The undersigned members of the board of trustees of the Girls’ Reform School re- spectfully and firmly protest against the | confirmation of Mrs. Aldrich’s election as | superintendent of said school for the fol- lowing reasons, to wit: “Mrs. Aldrich is an alien, a subject of Great Britain. - | “All her family, including her husband, | are aliens and reside in England. “Further, {t is our opinion that of avall-| able candidates, that one should be chosen | who is most competent to fulfill the duties | of so important and peculiar a position; | and we also think that among the candi-| dates offered there are American ‘women | better fitted for these duties, ' “The universal objection to placing a foreigner in charge of a government in- stitution.” — THE CAPITOL SUICID Idextified as George Konig, a Balti- more Baker. The body of the young man who commit- ted suicide in the Capitol grounds Friday night has been identified as that of George Konig, a Baltimorean. His brother saw an) account of the suicide, and, knowing his | brother had disappeared, came to the con-| clusion that the dead man was perhaps his | brother. The body had not been buried, | but was in the morgue when he reached here this morning. He was greatly shocked when he entered the little brick structure and saw beneath | the glass the earthly remains of his own | brother. Why he should have come over | here and ended his lif» the brother was at a loss to tell, The deceased was a baker by trade, and had a gvod situation. Besides this he was about to start in business for himself. He was a member of the fourth | Maryland regiment, and had many friends | in the monumental city. His brother says he was not a drinking man, nor had he been sick, and the only reason left, so the police think, is that his sweetheart had perhaps jilted him. Coroner Woodward gave the necessary certificate of death, and the body will be taken to Baltimore. a THE CITY'S HEALTH. Good Showing in the Weekly Health Office Report. “The reports at the health department for the week ended on Saturday last show @ continuation of the good health of the city which has prevailed during the whole month of May,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Hammett. “Notwithstand- ing the cold and gloomy and wet weather, there was an increase only of three in the total number of deaths. One of these was from smalipex, which is the first death from this malady which has occurred here for many years. A death from chickenpox also was reported, which is likewise the first and only one for over # decade. ‘There 1s no indécation of the, spreading of either of these diseases. Lung ailments be said as to diphtheria and.scarlet fever, both of which diseases are at,a minimum with the prospective total disapppi ce of the latter.

SAYS IT TS NOT A PRIVILEGED QUESTION He Has a Lively Tilt With Mr. Harris of Tennessee. THE STATE BANK TAX BILL The right of newspaper correspondents to refuse to give Senator Gray's bribery and sugar investigating committee the sources of their information was brought before the Senate today in the shape of a report from that committee. In the morning hour Mr. Kyle of South Dakota, in order to avoid further conflict over the passage of a resolution declaring the sense of the Senate to be against non- interference with the affairs of the Ha- walian Islands, agreed to waive a vote on his resolution if a vote could be secured on the Turpie resolution reported from the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Vest of Missouri offered, as a substi- tute for the Turpie resolution, one declaring that, from the facts and papers before the Senate, it would be unwise and inexpedient to consider the project of annexation; that the highest international interests require that_the people of the Sandwich Islands shoud choose their own form of government and line of policy, and that foreign inter- ference with the ‘affairs of these islands would be regarded as an act unfriendly to the United States. Mr. Hoar moved to lay Mr. Vest’s substi- tute on the table. The motion was carried, 36-18, Mr. Hill voting in the affirmative. The morning hour expired while the vote was being taken, and upon the arnounce- ment of the result, Mr. Harris demanded the regular order, and the tariff bill was laid before the Senate. Mr. Peffer, stating that he believed the Hawaiian resolutions could be disposed of without further debate, moved to tem- porarily lay aside the tariff bill until they could be passed on. It was defeated, yeas, 26; nays, 28. Mr. Hill again voted in the affirmative. The Tariff Bill. The tariff bill was then proceeded with, Mr. Proctor (Vt.) teking the floor to de- liver a prepared speech. The major portion of his speech was de- voted to the effect of the pending bill on the trade relations of the United States with other countries of the western hemi- sphere. Mr. Proctor finished at 11:45, and Mr. Pettigrew (S. D.) took the floor and de- livered a prepared speech in opposition to the bill. The Investigation Report Presented. When Senator Gray presented the report of the investigation committee Senator Hill objected to its presentation. Senator Gray called for its reading, saying it was privi- leged. Senator Aldrich did not want the re- port read and claimed the rules did not al- low it. Senator Hill contended that the re- port should be read, and then the matter of its presentation and privilege could be determined. Senator Manderson claimed that Senator Gray had said he rose to a privileged ques- tion and the matter must be so considered. Senator Hoar argued that a report from the committee took precedence over every- thing else. Senator Faulkner, in the chair, decided that it was a question of the highest privi- lege, and decided that the report should be read, and the clerk proceeded with the Treading. At the conclusion of the reading of the Gray report Mr. Hill arose, and Mr. Al- drich wanted to know what was before the Senate. Mr. Hill said he would state what he believed was before the Senate. He said the question was now whether the pending bill could be set aside, and involved the question “Was this a privileged report?” A Tilt Retween Hill and Harris. Mr. Hill said the matter of the speculation in sugar stock would involve only a matter of propriety and not of privilege. During Mr, Hill's remarks Mr. Harris rose to a question of order, and said the chair must hold the report a question of privilege and debate was not in order. During Mr. Harris’ remarks Mr. Hill grew impatient, and said he objected to the Senator making a speech, The matter of contributions to the cam- paign also did not involve a question of privilege. The only question of privilege involved was in that relating to attempted bribery. Mr. Hiil said it was straining a point to try and make the report upon the two other branches of the resolution a privileged mat- ter. Mr. Harris rose to a question of order and Mr. Hill declined to yield, saying this Is a matter for the chair to decide, and he did | not need any suggestion from Mr. Harris. | And it was a matter in which the Senator | from Tennessee had not business to in-| terfere. He also said that the Senator from Tennessee knew he was about to conclude ' or he would not have interfered. Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Gray then took up the discussion. Senator Davis asked Mr. | Aldrich if it was not a question of priv ege. When a committee of the Senate re- perted that certain witnesses before that ecmmittee were in contempt of the Senate. Mr. Aldrich thought it was not. | Senator Lodge said this was a question of | generai parliamentary law. The report of the contumacy of a witness was a question of highest privilege, the only thing before the Senate was for the chair to decide | whether the matter was a privileged report. The Chair's Decision Appealed From. Vice President Stevenson ruled that it was a privileged report. Hill appealed from the decision of the | chair and asked to be heard. | He made a vigorous speech against the decision, He asserted that as soon as the report was decided privileged certain duties devolved on the chair—the certification of the facts to district attorney for proceed- ing under the statutes. He claimed the Sen- ate had the right to direct the Vice Pres dent not to make any such certification or refer the report back to the Senate. The whole matter was within the power of the Senate. Hill went on to argue the question of the right of a witness to refuse to testify and! the lack of a right to compel a witness to | testify in injury to himself. Under the ruling of the chair two-thirds, | in fact, three-fourths, or almost a unant-| mous Senate would have no power over the committee. It was proper to investigate the charges of bribery. He doubted the wisdom of the proceedings. It was not the duty of the Senate to investigate the truthfulness of newspaper men. If it did it would have its hands full all the time. | Senator Allen remirded him of the terms | of the resolution, and claimed that the | charges were sufficiently expticit to investi- | gate, and referred to the speculation in| sugar stock. | The Right to Speculate. Mr. Hill declared that the committee would have no power to compel a Senator | to say whether he had speculated in sugar | stock or not. A Senator might speculate on any kind of stock and viclate no law. It was a matter of propriety. Mr. Allen claimed that such speculation in matters which might be affected by his vote would shake the foundations of the government. Mr. Hill again insisted that a Senator had a legal right to speculate. Mr. Allen—But no moral right. Mr. Hill—That is another thing. Go for the Men Themselves. Senator Hill went on to say that he did not approve of Senators speculating in committee extending it out. Let it go to the Senators themselves and not persecute The men implicated were available. It was not right to press fidential sources of information, but to go to the men against whom the charges were made. He would have preferred to have had the newspaper men disclose the source of their information. In reply to Senator Gray, who cited the case of a coroner’s jury, Mr. Hill said he would summon eye witnesses. Mr. Gray—That is what we are trying to et at. ®t, Hil—Ycu went a long way around the horn to get at it. Mr. Allen asked: “How would you get this Information implicating Senators?” “Swear them all,” answered Mr. Hill, amid a roar of laughter. Mr. Hill said that the Senate was ven- turing upon dangerous ground. He restated his grounds of making the appeal.

Mr. Harris asked if the Senator from New York was still occupying the fioo1 Mr. Hill—“Ask through the chai Mr. Hill then read the resolution, which declared the questions asked were not per- tinent and that the certifications should not be made. Mr. Harris then moved to lay the appeal on the table, which was carried without division. To Bring Him to the Senate Bar. Senator Dolph introduced a resolution to bring Edwards to the bar of the Senate, and followed it up with a speech. THE HOUSE. There was a small attendance, both in the galleries and on the floor, when the House met today. Mr. Catchings (Miss.) called attention to the fact that tomorrow would be Decoration day, and he therefore moved that when the House adjourned today it be to meet next Thursday, and it was so ordered. Several Senate bills were passed, among them being a bill for the relief of Capt. John W. Pullman. There was also passed, on motion of Mr. Hermann (Ore.), Senate bill granting the right of way to the Al- bany and Astoria Railroad Company through the Grande Ronde Indian reserva- tion, in the state of Oregon. On motion of Mr. Dinsmore (Ark.), the Senate bill to extend and amend an act entitled “An act to authorize the Kansas and Arkansas Valley railway to construct nd operate additional lines of railway through the Indian territory” was passed. To Repenl the State Bank Tax. The regular order was then demanded, being the bill to suspend the operation of the laws imposing a tax of 10 per cent upon state bank issues during the period of financial depression in 1893, The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Richardson in the chair), and Mr. Cox spoke in favor of his amend- ment repealing the tax on state bank issues. —___-e-______ THE HAWAIIAN ELECTION. Minister Willis Reports That It Was Quiet and Orderly. The President today sent to the Senate the following dispatch from Minister Willis: (Mr. Willis to Mr. Gresham.) LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES. No. 55. HONOLULU, H. L, May 10, 1804. Sir: The election of delegates for the con- stitutional convention, held on the 2d inst., was quiet and orderly. Of the eighteen delegates elected, five are native Hawaiians and two are Portuguese. Sveral others were born here, but of for- eign parentage. The vote actually cast was somewhat over two-thirds of the registered vote. 1 will give a more complete analysis of the vote when the official statements ap- pear. The convention will hold its first session on_the 30th instant, The condition of affairs here remains peaceful. On the 10th instant several representa- tives of the “Hawaiian Patriotic League,” including Hon, John E. Bush and Hon. Joseph Nawahi, presented to me a letter, in which the “League” protests against the action of the provisional government in calling a constitutional convention, from which the native Hawalians, except under a “restrictive and prohibitive oath,” were excluded, claiming that this act was a “breach of courtesy to the United States government, and a violation of its pro- visional authority.” I explained to them that the Hawaiian question was now before Congress ard that I could not receive or forward resolutions of political bodies, ex- cept as a part of current history. I do not, therefore, send you a copy of the letter, Very respectfully, ete., ALBERT 8. WILLIS ———_+ e+ A POLICY RAID. forts to Arrest the Big Firm in A surprise is promised for the alleged policy brokers in Alexandria this after- noon, but in that city and state such con- templated surprises in the past usually turned out surprises to the officers, for in almost every instance some one notified the policy people of what the law officers were going to do, and the result was that the alleged violators of the law kept out of the way. This time, however, two depu- ties from the marshal's office have gone over to Alexandria with copies of an in- dictment and bench warrants for the arrest of John Donnelly and his sons Walter and Bernard Donnell; The indictment against them was return- ed this afternoon, and the two deputies went off without any delay. At Alexandria they will have to confer with the United States marshal before the arrests are made. The District attorney expects to encounter some difficulty in bringing the Donnellys from that jurisdiction for trial. It is claimed that this alleged firm virtual- ly controls the southern end of the policy business, ranking next to the general head- quarters of the business in New York. While firms at Jackson City have been pro- ceeded against from time to time, never before has an effort been made to prosecute the Alexxandria people. —_ Tomorrow's Card.

The accused parties are said to be en-| gaged in the policy business in Alexandria, Va., and it is understood that the govern- ment will contend that they violated the | law in force in the District by sending their writers and other agents into the District.

Lon- ww. Clone, don ako reflected fractional improvement, 0 708 but added nothing to the volume of jocal S is busir.ess. The railroad list presented few arg noteworthy features owing to the lack of os interest in that branch of speculation. Burlington was sold freely by Boston houses on a reported decrease in earnings, but ral- led sharply for a gain of 1 per cent on cov- ering at the close of the noon hour. The published report of the company’s earnings shows a decrease of $491,752 and an increase in surplus, after deducting fixed charges, of $138,837. Reading was marked up 1 per cent on good buying for long ac- count. It is stated on good authority that there will be no foreclosure and that a re- organization plan will eventually be agreed upon. The committees representing the various bondholders are now working in harmony with the receivers and will soon be in position to announce a scheme for the future development of this unfortunate com- pany. Friends of the industrials gave excellent support to their favorites and were assisted in their efforts by liberal patronage from the room. Chicago Gas gained 2 1-4 per cent in veri- feation of the recent bull tips from the inside and seems capable of producing even mcre substantial proof of its intrinsic value. As previously stated, the recent buying of this stock has been for strong interesis, who are perfectly familiar with the busi- ness in hand and who have an enviable sep- utation of rarely stopping short of their destination. Sugar gained 2 5-8 per cent on purchases for both accounts. There are undoubiediy some severe squalls ahead for the sugar schedule and the price of the stock will adjust itself to every emergency, but there is nothing in the present situation to alarm any but the weak-kneed element. Many believers in higher prices for this stock favor a reaction from the present level in order to increase the discrepancy be- tween the purchasing and the realizing points, The balance of the Industrials were all fractionally improved on moderate dealings. The market for foreign exchange opened firm, on a small volume of business. There is no noticeable improvement in the supply of commercial bills, and the demand from securities is small. The demand for travel- ers’ credits shows an increase for this sea- DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. For the Police Fund.

This money is to be used for the relief of any policeman who by injury received oF disease contracted in the line of duty oF who, having served not less than fifteem years, shall become so permanently dis abled as to be discharged from the In case of his death by such injury or dis» ease his widow and children under sixteen years old are also to be provided for. is provided that this relief shall not ex $39 a month in each case, and shall not be paid to a widow who remarries. The funeral expenses to be paid out of the fum@ are limited to $75. To Continue the Sewer System. Senator Harris also at the request of the Commissioners introduced a Dill similar we that presented by Mr. Richardson in the House on the 23d, providing for contim uing the system of trunk sewers in the District, to provide for disposal, to lay out highways and for other purposes. To Publish Revolutionary Records. Senator Allison. today presented to the Senate a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Sons of the Revolution of the Dis- trict, held in this city on the Ith instant, requesting Congress to direct the early publication of the records and rolls of the revolution. It was referred to the com- mittee on library. For Leaves of Absence to Printers, Mr. J. L.

More than $1,000,000 gold has been engaged for shipment on Thursday, and the amount may be increased before the hour of sailing. Duliness was the only conspicuous feature of the last hour's trading, but prices did not suffer from the neglect. In the regular list fractional gains were recorded, while con- tinued buygng of the industrials prevented any important reaction from best prices. The bulk of the trading came from the pro- fessional element and served to keep prices steady up to the close of business. ——__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘The following are the opening, the highest an the lowest and the closteg prices of the New York stock market today, as ted oy Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange Correspondents Messrs.
