Neal in the Ohio Democratic Convention. THIS YEAR’S CAMPAIGN Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 29, 1894, Lawrence T. Neal, the defeated demo- ¢ratic candidate for governor last year, will Probably be an interesting figure in the democratic state convention this year. It is understood that he will go to the con- vention prepared to fight for the insertion im the platform of a free silver plank and one denouncing the A. P. A. (anti-Catholic) year he took issue with the President on the silver question. He has long been known as a strong free silver coinage ad- vocate. Mr. Neal is not a Catholic, but he hates the A. P. A., and in his campaign last year he went out of his way to give the organization an unmerciful scoring. In this he will be opposed, by the conservative ele- ment of the party, who fear such a course would split off from the party a large num- ber who are anti-Catholic in sentiment, but who Would still vote the party ticket but for such a course as this. On the silver question he will be opposed by the adminis- tration democrats, led by ex-Gov. Camp- There is not the shadow of a chance for the democrats to carry the state this year, So it does not make much difference what they put in their platform, so far as results are concerned. No steps have been taken yet by the dem- ocrats calling a state convention. They act im regard to it as though they would be glad if the convention, campaign and elec- tion were all over with. The republican state convention meets here on the Sth of next mon’ than two weeks from now. Congressional Districts. The democrats have made but one nomi- nation for Congress in this state so far. Congressman F. C. Layton has been re- nominated in the fourth district, that in which Senator Brice lives. It is significant that the convention which nominated him adopted a platform that did not refer to the national administration in any way what- ever. It declared for free silver and ad- ministerea a slight rebuke to Secretary Smith by declaring that to remove an old soldier from the pension rolls without first giving him a hearing was an outrage. It is safe to say that there will not be as many democrats in the next House from Ohio as there are in the present House. They will probably elect only four Repre- sentatives—possibly they may carry five dis- tricts. They now have eleven of the twen- ty-one members of the delegation. An old democratic politician, who, it is but fair to state, is thoroughly disgusted with the work of his party in Congress, said to The Star correspondent a few days ago that he did not believe his party would carry five counties in the state this fall. It is not at all improbable that Common- | wealer Coxey will be elected to Congress. The district in which he has been nom- inated by the populists—the eighteenth—is the strongest labor-union district in the state. However the Coxey movement is looked upon elsewhere, and by other people, the peopie who make up the city trades as- semblies in Ohio are in sympathy with it. He will get far more votes in the district than any democrat could. The democrats realize it and will probably make no nom- ination. Naturally, the democratic vote would go to Coxey, and if so he would prove no mean rival to any republican in the wie. Nearly a Scandal. The legislature, which has just ad- journed sine die, narrowly avoided a scan- dal at its close. Indeed, the evidences of the use of money in influencing legislation are sufficient to make the matter good cam- paign material for the democrats. The great national questions and the general discontent will entirely bury such matters this year, but a year hence they will, no doubt, bob up to materially aid Senator Brice to elect a democratic legislature. The measures that tended to make the legisla- ture malodorous were many, but the crown- ing bill of this character came almost at its close. It was the Earnhart bill to sell the part of the Hocking canal that lies between Nelsonville and Carroll to a railroad com- pany for a roadbed. The vigor with which the project was pushed in the senate, where it was first considered, was sufficient to in- dicate that there was big capital behind it. It passed the senate with but little stir, but when it reached the house it found the Hocking Valley Railroad Company arrayed strongly against it. That company saw that the new company intended, by getting this valuable franchise, to build a parallel line at very small expense. The bill provided that the company should pay the state for the canal $30,000 cash and $6,000 per annum. In vain did a few mem- bers urge that the property ought to be sold to the highest bidder, and that all should have the privilege of bidding on it. ‘The Hocking Valley Railroad Company then organized another company within itself to counterbid for the franchise. It was organ- ized in the office of Senator Brice, one of the Hocking Valley directors, in New York. Before the House committee the rival com- panies quickly ran the bids for the canal up to $75,000 cash and $15,000 annual rental, and the Hocking Valley Company seemed likely to run its would-be rival out of the field in this way. Then came the sensational scene in the House between Representatives Sleeper and Griffin over the matter, fi: which each called the other a liar, and Mr’ Sleeper declared that he had been offered $5,000 to withdraw his support from the bill. The effect of this was to Insure the passage of the Earnhart bill. The House at once took steps looking to the investiga- tion of the statements made by Mr. Sleeper, but the next day it was all stopped upon modified and apologetic statements being | made by both gentlemen. This peculiar ter- mination of the matier led many to suspect | that the parts taken by Sleeper and Griffin | were mere byplay, enacted for effect, and | that they were both in favor of the bill. | However this may be, it is certain that the scene they put on was what carried the bill | through the House and made it a law. | Now comes the story that the scheme to | build this new road has been conceived by Judge Stevenson Burke, against whom the Hocking Valley Company is pushing an $8,000,000 suit in the courts, with good pros- pects of getting a judgment that will stick. Judge Burke is a financier of wonderful resources, and the story that he has in- | vented this scheme of cheap paralleling the line owned by the company that is pushing him so hard in the courts is at least quite | Probable. The passage of the bill had the | effect of sending Hocking Valley stock down several points, and such a cudgel as this in the hands of Judge Burke over the head of the Hocking Valley would, no doubt, enable him to secure a much more favorable settlement of the sult than he would be likely to get in the courts. Selecting National Delegates. An attempt will no doubt be made at the republican state convention to have a reso- lution adopted indorsing the plan of select- ing national delegates, proposed by N. B. Scott of West Virginia, and explained and advocated in the letter sent out recently | by Mr. Manley of Maine, making the num- | ber of delegates to which a state {s entitled | depend in some degree upon the number of | republican votes it casts, instead of solely | upon the number of representatives in Con- | Stess, as now. It would, of course, cut off a large part of the strength of ex-President Harrison in the southern states. This the | Ohio friends of Gov. McKinley would like to see done. ‘The matter will come up for discussion at the national convention of republican clubs at Denver next month. Ohio is en- titled to ninety delegates in that conven- ticn, and arrangements have just been made with the railways to go in a body and in great style. Gov. McKinley is now making another investigation of one of the state institu- | tions. This time it 1s the state prison—an institution that has given a great deal of trouble all through his administration —and facts have been developed that will probably make a reorganization necessary. The trouble seems to be that the man elected by the governor to be warden has no tact in dealing with men, and is inordi- | rately jealous of his official prerogatives. The result has been continual friction in the management, and complaint from those organization. Even while a candidate last | who have had business to do with the prison. So far no person has been spoken of as a candidate for a state office this year. It is altogether likely that a draft will be necessary if even fairly good men are se- cured. W. A. Taylor, who came very near defeating the present Secretary of State two years ago, could probably be induced to enter the race again, and it is not un- Ekely that he will lead the democratic state ticket this year. —— CAMPAIGN LAID OUT. Plans of the Kansas Populists Com- pleted. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., May 28, 18%4. ‘The populist party {n Kansas has teen the butt and ridicule of the republican and democratic papers of the nation, and par- ticularly is this true of the Kansas con- tingent, but the fact remains that the lead- ers of the new movement in this state never allow the work of proselyting to cease for a day. They are constantly at work strengthening their lines, and when they shall have held their state conven- tion on June 12, they will be ready for the | most aggressive campaign ever made in any state. Their organization is the most complete of any political party in any state in the Union. The machinery is per- fect, because the leaders have not stopped the work of organization for a single day since they won their victory in 1892. John W. Breidenthal, ¢hairman of the state central committee, is the best poli- tician in Kansas. The republicans concede this, and while they find it impossible to ertain what he is doing, they cannot ak a move without his full knowledge of every detail. How he finds out the secret plans of the republicans no one knows, but | he is posted on every move made, and uses the information to the detriment of that party. He has in his possession now the | name and post office address of every voter | in the state. He has lately collected this data from a trusted populist in every vot- ing precinct in the state. He also knows the politics of every voter, and if he would, eould tell within two or three tho just how the situation stands in Kansas today, but he declines to tell even his close political friends. If this poll should show ten, fifteen or even twenty-five thousand republican majority no one would know it and he would not become discouriged. He would simply renew his energies and evolve a scheme that would change four | republicans in edch of the 3,500 voting pre- cincts in the state, which take off 14,000 from the republicans and add them to the populists, making a difference of 23,000, which would elect the ticket. Breidenthal has a scheme on foot now that will discount Indiana politics fa its palmiest days. Gn the day of the state convention 10,000 people will come into ‘Topeka in lumber wagons, drawn by four and six-horse teams. Every neighborhood for one hundred miles will be represented. ‘The populist farmers are planning for the | éxcursion now. Banners of every descrip- | tion are being printed for the parade. Ten thousand farmers are coming in this way and they propose to bring their food and feed for horses along and camp out and have a good time. They propose to make a parade up and down the streets of Topeka that will paralyze the “upper crust society’ of the capital city. The farmers’ wives and chil- dren will participate in this jollification. It 1s to be the outing of the year and the grounds around the state capital, em- bracing twenty acres, will be turned over for camping purposes. From this “vantage ground” the tillers of the soil will sing “Good bye, old party, good bye,” while Jerry Simpson or some other populist leader will tell them, pointing to the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad general office building across the street, that the government of the state has been trans- ferred to this capital building and that the common people are in the saddle. This {s not all of Breidenthal’s scheme. He has requésted every person who comes to the convention to bring at least $1. | Then when the convention is in session in Representative Hall a call for money to run the campaign will be made. Instantly a shower of silver dollars are to be piled up on the speaker's desk and $10,000 will be given for the cause of the people. Many are expected to give more, but $1 is the popular assessment. ———_._._ , COLUMBIAN COLLEGE. Notes of Events Among the 5: Faculty. President Welling 1s absent on a short trip north. Treasurer R. H. Martin and Dr. . A, Stakely, pastor of the O Street Baptist Chutch, both members of the board of trus- téés, afe attending the Baptist assembly at Saratoga, N. Y., as delegates, Queen Victoria had not the monopoly of last Thursday for her birthday. Professor Munroe, the professor of chemistry and dean of the scientific school, lays claim to the same day, and a display of beautiful roses in the rooms of the chemical depart- ment evidenced the occasion. Dr. Otis T. Mason of the board of trustees and lecturer on anthropology has been in- vited to address the annual convention of southern governors at Atlanta, Ga. The senior engineering class has completed an elaborate map, embodying the results of their railroad fleld work season at Harper's Ferry last fall. It is a map of the line of the “Lake Quigley, Bolivar Heights and Great Northern Railroad,” about three miles long, and laboriously winding its way through the hills of that historic country. ‘This work was executed under the direction of Mr. Frank L. Averill, C. E., captain com- pany C, engineer corps, D. C. 'N. G., and in- structor in engineering field work. ‘The fol- lowing were the members of the class: Messrs. W. H. Aspinwall of Pennsylvania, H. J. Davis of Onto, W. I. Deming of the District of Columbia, J. S. Johnson of Texas, ec jones of West Virginia, J. Meigs, jr., Geo. F. Perry, P. E. Stevens, all of the District of Columbia. W. Aspinwall has been the draughtsman to give the finishing touches to the map, and all are proud of ‘ts professional appearance. More work of ‘he same nature is contemplated for this sum- mer. The Fitch prize, for highest excellence in all branches of chemistry, has been won by Mr. C. Preston Phelps of the District of Columbia. This prize, which is a foundation of Mr. J. E. Fitch, the well-known real es- tate agent in this city, consists of fifty dol- lars in gold. Examinations for the degrees are closed, but all undergradvate courses are stiil in progress, Some of the special courses have closed. Among these is the course in as- saying, which has been conducted by Mr. Cabell Whitehead, the assayer of the bureau of the mint, and which has been attended by the following students: E. Milton Greene of the District of Columbia, N. Monroe Hop- kins of the District of Columbia, Jos. 8. Mills of the District of Columbia, assistant in chemistry at the Central High School; Geo. B. Pfeiffer, B. S., of Maryland, asstst- ant in chemistry at the Eastern High School; E. Sherwood Wilron, J. Emil Blo- men, Ph.D., of the University of Upsala, ee Harry W. Shepherd of Marylan ete. The Rev. Samuel M. Shute, D.D., profes- sor of English, who has been ill a few days, has fully recovered. In his absence Mr. J. 8. Johnson is conducting his examinations. Standing of Annapolis Graduates. The standing of the first twelve of the six-year graduating class of the United States Naval Academy ts known to be as follows: Line division—1, Campbell of Wyo- ming; 2, Day, Vermont; 3, Evans, Florid: 4, McNamee, Kansas; 5, Sawyer, Illinois; 6, Hussey, New Hampshire; 7, Blakely, Pennsylvania; 8, Jewell, at large; 9, Daw- son, Missouri; 10, Davidson, Missouri; 11, Thompson, Ohio; 12, Hines, Kentucky. All of these are sure to be appointed en- signs in the navy, except Evans and Blakely, who have physical disqualifications that may interfere. In the engineer division, Porter of Ten- nessee, Crank of Texas, Moses of Georgia and’ Hasbrouck of Idaho passed in the or- der named. Crank failed physically, as also did Gambol of Indiana. ¢ — Peril of the Patterson. It ts learned from a private letter from S'tka, Alaska, that the United States reve- nue steamer Patterson had a narrow es- cape from being wrecked on the 3d instant. The Patterson was engaged in surveying alcng the northern coast, and on the date mentioned experienced a storm in Queen Charlotte sound. Notwithstanding the en- deavor to get her out in the Pacific she was driven on the rocks near Point Simpson. When the storm abated the vessl could not be moved. The U. S. S. Hassler hove in sight the next day and took off the officers and crew. Twenty-four hours later the Patterson was hauled off, but as she had several holes in her bottom she was beach- ed until temporary repairs could be effect- ed. She then proceeded to Sitka. +o+ Lyman C. Hull, the New Haven brewer, was a on Saturday by falling through the hatchway of a vessel there, LATE SPORTING NEWS HAVE STRUCK THEIR GAIT. The Senators Bat Hard and Play a Pretty Fielding Ga Manager William Barnie and a number of Kentucky “Colonels” sited National Park yesterday afternoon and amused Manager Schmelz’s base ball aggregation and about 1,000 spectators for a couple of hours. The visitors appeared very tmpos- ing with such old-time stars as Jerry Den- ny, Fred Pfeffer, Danny Richardson and Twitchell in their ranks, but the “Un- knowns,” who have twenty-five defeats and @ grasp on last place to their credit, didn’t do a thing but play all around the Louts- ville team and take the game without diffi- culty. To Mercer’s excellent pitching is due a large share of the credit of the victory, but two hits being made off his delivery. Neither of the Louisville's two runs w: earned. Washington batted Hemming al- Tost us it pleased, and with the exception of one error by Kadford in the thii in- ning, fielded faultlessly and brilliantly. The base running could not have been excelled, and all in all the much abused tailenders Played gilt-edged, winning ball. Washington scored three times in the first and followed it up in the third with five more, after two men were out, a three-buse hit by Mercer having much to do with the tallying. Another was added in the seventh, and an inning later by hard hitting the scoring ceased with three earned runs. For Louisville Grim took first in the third on Radford's error, and by two bases on balls and on a force out at second, two runs came in, which was all the other side could do during the game. Abbey and Jerry Denny made difficult catches that earned applause. The game demonstrated that the Washingtons can play ball, and now that they have struck their gait a creep up the ladder out of last Place is confidently expected.

The Columbia Athletic Club will hoid its first club regatta of this season Saturday evening. There is much rivalry between the several crews in training, and this will, in a measure, decide which crew will represent the club in the coming regatta. There will be races between the eights and between the fours, and probably a gig crew will be out. it is also likely that sev-| eral ambitious oarsmen will row in the working boats, which will be a decided novelty. The course will be from the Sis- ters down, with the finish off 32d street, so that the balcony of the Columbia boat house will ve an excellent point from which to view the contests.

Ever since college athletic contests have earned the right to attract the public atten- tion it has been the ambition of university teams—especially of Yale University teams —to meet their English cousins on the tield and try their strength against them. Time and time again it has been reported that an American crew would go abroad and row Oxford or Cambridge, but every year some objection has stood in the way, and so far no benefit has resulted from this en- thuslasm. But it now looks as if the stars and stripes might be abie to meet the cross of St. Andrew on an equal footing. The victorious track athletic team of Yale pro- Doses to meet the Oxford men at London in uly. Upon assurances of Mr. MacLane Van Ingen, Yale '¥3, who has been in England, that Oxford is almost certain to consent to a match, the Yale team is now in training preparatory for their departure for Eng- land. It appears now beyond any doubt that the Americans will go, and all the preparations have been made. They will sail on June 15 and go directly | to Oxford, where they will take up their | training quarters, and train during the two | weeks which will precede the international match. This will be held at the Queen Club grounds, in London, about the middle of July. All the English interuniversity contests are held on these grounds, and the event will come off in the height of the London social season. It is not an unusual thing in England to have 20,000 persons at- tend an interuniversity match. English athletic contests differ in the list of their events from those of America. The | interuniversity program comprises but nine | events: The 100-yard run, 440-yard run, one- | mile run, 12-yard hurdle race, throwing | the hammer, putting the shot, high jump, | broad jump and three-mile run. This last event does not appear on our American in- tercollegiate card. For that reason when Mr. Sherrill entered into negotiations with the Oxford men he proposed that the three-mile run be re. ; ton Inn, Placed by either a bicycle, walking or pole- vaulting event. It is not yet known which one of these the Englishmen have selected as the ninth event. The scoring abroad corresponds to the method formerly in use in our intercollegi- ate games, namely: The college winning tae most first prizes being the victor. There- fore, Yale must win five events out of the nine to conquer Oxford. Only two repre- sentatives in each event are allowed to each university. They are called the fi and second string. Each university de- clares its best man the “‘tirst string.” Another peculiarity of English running ts that the lap races are run with the right hand to the pole, instead of the left, as in this country. Their hurdle races, too, are run on turf, instead of on a cinder track, as with us. We throw the hammer from a circle seven feet in diameter, whereas they allow a thirty-foot run. Otherwise the methods are the same. The make-up of the Yale team thus far decided upon is as follows: One-hundred-yard run—E. H. Cady, ’95 S., first string; G. F. Sanford, L. S., second string. Four-hundred-and-forty-yard dash—G. F. Sanford, first string; ———, second string. Mile run—J. E. Morgan, ’#4, first string; + second string. Hurdles—E. H. Cady, '95 S., first string; L. P. Sheldon, '96, second string. Hammer—W. O. Hickuck, '% §S., first string; Alexander Brown, '96, second strin, Putting the shot—W. O. Hickock, 95 first string; Alexander Brown, '9¢, second string. High jump—E. H.Cady, '9 S., first string; L. P. Sheldon, '96, second string. Broad jump—L.P. Sheldon, '9é,first string; E. H. Cady, '9 S., second string. ee The Cornell-Pennsylvania Race. The Cornell-University of Pennsylvania boat race will not take place until June 15. It will be rowed on the Delaware river, four miles straightaway, beginning near Andalusia and finishing in front of Morrell- Pa. Experts pro- of the finest in the Torresdale, Corbett Ready to Accept an Offer. James J. Cépbett said in an interview yes- terday at Glasgow that it was his desire to fight Jackson this year. He is ready to ac- cept the terms of the National Sporting Club of London, and if the fight should take place there, it will be his last fight in Eng- jand, whether he wins or loses, as when he takes his departure for America it will be for good. Get-Away Day at Gravesend. In the Fort Hamilton handicap at Graves- end yesterday they had it hammer and tongs all the way, and as hard as Doggett worked with Henry of Navarre John Coop- er had a little better of it, winning handily by a half length in good time. The Tremont stakes was well run and Gotham was returned to public favor by the commanding way in which he won. Pickpocket ran kindly all the way through the first race, and won easily with a big weight up. In the second race there was a Gelay of thirty minutes at the post, and the horses got away to a very bad start. Lib- ertine, who was backed down from 10 to 1 to 4, took the track and was never headed, wis aing as he pleased.

The plano recital given at the Univer- salist Church on Saturday evening by Mr. John Porter Lawrence and his pupils was attended by a large and cultivated au- dience, who testified their appreciation by emphatic applause after each number. All had memorized the compositions se- lected and they therefore played with more freedom than would have been the case had they been confined to a reading of the music.

The work of Miss Young also deserves praise for its conscientiousness and a technical * Miss Char- | skill that is unusual in one of her years. Besides these numbers there were two songs by Mrs. Jenny C. Hight, one, Deli- bes’ “Charnson D’Almee” and a “Salve Regina” by Dana, both of which were sung artistically. A Grieg sonata for violin and piano, played by Messrs.

ORIGIN OF THE Day| Which is Dedicated to the Memory of tle Soldier Dead. The First Memorial Day Observance ‘Was Held in 1868—The Cere- montes in This City. The origin of the observance of one day in the year in memory of those who gave their lives to their country’s cause is one full of interest. Next Wednesday, for the twenty- sixth consecutive year, the ground sacred to the patriotic dead in various parts of the country will be visited by their surviving comrades and the general public, and the fresh blossoms of spring will be strewn upon the green sward that covers their graves. This ceremony, so beautiful and so appropriate, and this day, which has come to be looked upon as sacred to the memory of departed heroes, started with what was practically a suggestion. In the | spring of 1868, three years after the close of the war, and by the time the people were just getting well settled in their new avo- cations, and had opportunity to cast their thoughts backward to the troublous days of the past, the suggestion was made of hold- ing a national memorial day in honor of the Union dead, The idea met with sponta-| reous approval, and it seemed that a pop- | ular chord of sympathy in the hearts of people had been struck. The first formal and official announce- ment of the day was made in the general order issued by John A. Logan, commander- in-chief of the Grand Army of ‘the Republic, and dated from the headquarters in this | city on 5, 1808. The order informs | comrades that “the 30th day of May, 186s, | is designated for the purpose of strewing | flowers or otherwise decorating the graves | of comrades‘ who died in the defense of | their country. In this observance,” the | order stated, “no form of ceremony is pre- scribed, but posts of comrades will, in their own way, arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances will permit.” In conclusion, the order says that “it ts the purpose of the commander- in-chief to inaugurate this observance, with the hope that it be kept up from year to year while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed com- rades.” The General Observance. In response to this invitation, the day | was observed in twenty-seven states and at 183 burial places. At the National cem- etery at Arlington Heights, where are | | buried 22,000 Union soldiers, the services were specially touching and imposing. The oration was delivered by Gen. James A. | Garfield. | In the following year still more extensive Preparations were made for observing the | day. In thirty-one states and in 336 cities and towns appropriate ceremonies were held. The President and Mrs. Grant and the members of the cabinet attended the services at Arlington. In that year the | plan* now in vogue of holding services at | all the cemeteries near this city had not been adopted, and so on the following | Sunday these cemeteries were visited and | | flowers strewn upon the graves. With the | | exception of, perhaps, more elaborate pro- grams at the other cemeteries in this city besides the one at Arlington, the observance | of the day here shows but little change in | the quarter of a century past. The ap- propriateness of such a celebration has been recognized by Congress, and the 30th of May, dedicated to the memory of the heroic dead, has been made a national holi- —_~+- e+ —____ Col.

A French Canadian at Pittsburg has had patented an invention, which he calls a “grave signal.” He is now in Pittsburg for the purpose of having his signal manufac- tired. He has worked for ten years on his idea, and claims to have solved the prob- lem of saving the unfortunates who may be buried alive. His device consists of a Piece of ordinary gas pipe six feet long, with a glass gidbe about the size of an in- candescent lamp on one end. The pipe is arranged to screw onto a brass plate at the head of the coffin. The pipe will extend be- yond the piate and within a fraction of an inch from the head of the corpse. Through the center of the pipe a plain smooth stick is placed, one end of which rests on the forehead of the person in the coffin: the jother end sticks from the glass globe, with a red cloth attached. The moment the person comes to life and moves the stick will be forced through the pipe, and the red cloth—the signal—will be displayed. The signal cannot be seen unless it is pushed up from the forehead of the person. At the | same time the signal 13 displayed a number of small apertures open at the base of the globe, end fresh air is forced down the pipe In the British house of commons on Mon- day afternoon Sir Edward Gray, under for- eign secretary, denied that the government had informed anybody that it was the in- tention of Great Britain to reconsider the | Berlin agreement in regard to Samoa. | Neither was it true, he said, that the gov- | ernment had received any communication from the government of the United States intimating their desire to retire from | Samoa. ——_+e+____ E. 8.
