THEY MUST APPLY. Request Must Come From Officials Be- fore Troops Will Be Sent. If the Colorado people rely upon the na- tional government to use {ts military forces against the Cripple Creek strikers without application in due form from the governor or legislature they will be sorely disappoint- ed. Although no applications for federal intervention have yet come to the War De- partment they will be absolutely without result if they do come. The reason, as ex- plained at the War Department, is that there is no authority to be found in law for federal action. The issues involved are regarded as purely state and not national in their present aspect. The suggestion that the national government might inter- vene between Gov. Waite and the sheriff's! forces under cover of section 5299, Revised | Statutes, wes soon disposed of. That statute was framed in reconstruction days to permit the national government to g0| into a state and protect any of its citizens | when they were denied protection by their | own state officers. It was embodied in the army regulations, but in the first case/ that arose the courts held that the act was unconstitutional, and so it is of no avail at present. The opinicn prevails in the War Depart-/ ment that if Gov. Waite violates the law he can and will be restrained by the state | judiciary, and they are looking for some such termination of the present ditficultle: This may be done by a restraining order, or, as has been intimated in private ad- vices from Colorado received here by a very high official, by an application for a writ de lunatico inquirendo. The success of such proceedings would result in the lieutenant governor's succeeding to the chief office in the state. Of course, in case of threatened dis- turbance at Denver, the people would be amply protected by the preserce of the military regardless of any action of the governor's, for there is sufficient warrant for the use of troops to protect United States property in the city limits, and this would involve the maintenance of good order. ' re THE Y. M. C. A. IN LONDON. Papers Read and a Reception at Guild Hall. At yesterday's conference of the Young Men's Christian Association at Exeter Hali, London, Richard C. Morse of New York.) secretary of the American international committee, presented a paper on association work in America. C. M. Hobbs of Denver spoke of the rail- road work of the American associations. He said it had been growing steadily since {ts Inception, 1877. There were now ninety- eight rafiroad associations, with 25,000 mem- bers. John R. Mott, college secretary of the international committee, sald that for the last seventeen years the college Young) Men’s Christian Associations had been ex- ercising a wide and hopeful influence in the religious life of American colleges. Claus Olandt, jr., secretary of the inter- natfonal committee, in charge of its work for German young men, said that in| America the associations ‘were making an effort to reach the German young men, who| had come from the fatheriand in great mul- titudes. Sir George Williams read a telegram in! which Sir Henry Ponsonby, the queen's | secretary, conveyed her greeting to the con- ference.

This sfternoon at 4:30 o’clock Rt. Rev. William Paret, bishop of Maryland, will lay the corner stone of St. Thomas’ Prot- estant Episcopal Church. The new edifice is at the corner of 18th and Madison streets, and gives promise of being one of the most attractive in the city when it is finally completed. Ever since Washington got well | into its phenomenal growth toward the northwest there has been felt a pressing need for an Episcopal Church in that sec- tion of the city, and the rew church, even as it is now, occupying a small chapel on the rear of its lot, has been most successful since its inception. With its enlarged ac- commodations its field of usefulness will be even further extended. The prosperity that has marked the church since its start is largely due to the | interest and efforts of the rector, Rev. J. A. Aspinwall, and his assistant, Rev. Geo. H. Johnson. The structure is already well advanced, and the walls in some parts are above the lower tier of windows. The cor- ner stone is to be at the northeast corner of the church, adjacent to the present brick chapel. Impressive Ceremonies. The laying of the corner stone this after- noon will be performed with suitable and impressive ceremonies. The service will be conducted by Bishop Paret, assisted by the rector of the church and his assistant, and @ large number of the clergy of the city, who will wear the full vestments of their office. The rafters of the church have been partially floored over, so as to accommodate the crowd that is expected to be in attend- ance, and suitable provision will be made for their comfort. The program has it that the ministers and people of the church are to assemble in the chapel and thence, to the music of the organ, played by Prof. Sherman, march around Madison street to Isth, and in through the main door on the west side. The procession will be headed by the children of the Sunday school, then will come tMe people, the vestry, the clergy ! and finally the bishop. They will open ranks, and the bishop and clergy will march through to. the point where the stone {s to be laid. After a short service the rector will announce the contents of the stone. Within the stone will be placed a copy of the Bible, the revised prayer book, the church almanac, copies of The Star, Post and News of today, this year’s issue of coins, and a copy of the sermon on St. Thomas delivered by the rector at the time the name of the church was changed from Calvary to St. Thomas. There will also be placed in the stone a copy of The Evening | Star of May 5, 1894, which contained a long description and history of the church. There will also be a list of the names of the| rector, the assistant rector, the vestry, and | all the teachers and members of the Sunday school. After the corner stone is put in place there will be a brief responsive service. ‘The exercises will be closed with the bene- @iction by the bishop. The singing will be under the leadership of the choir, a quartet, consisting of Miss McCulloch, Mrs. Mauro, | Mr. Crosby and Mr. Hoover. It is very appropriate that the Sunday school children should be urged to take such @ prominent part in the exercises of the la; ing of the corner stone, for ever since the organization of the church Rev. Mr. As- pinwall has sought to make them have a feeling of personal ownership and interest in the church. The children have been very generous in their subscriptions for the work and have taken an active part in raising funds for the building. 3. St. John’s a St. Andrew’s Vestries. Among the laymen who have been invited to participate in the exercises this after- noon are the members of the vestries of St. John's and St. Andrew's, the two churches from which the new one has been carved out. Originally, St. John’s parish extended as far north as the boundary, but when that section of the city began to fill up so rapidly it became evident that the district allotted to it was too large, and the propo- | sition to organize a new church in the neighborhood of Dupont Circle met with in- stant and deserved favor. mew church was begun last October, but was interrupted about Christmas tme. It is intended to expend about $81,000 on the church. A new idea is being followed out in that the walls are being put up only as fast as the work can be paid for. About $15,000 have already been expended, and as there are several thousand dollars still left in bank, it is expected that the present number of workmen—five masons and three stonecutters—can be kept working steadily at least until October. The dimensions are VUx1lU feet, and there will be seating ac- commodations for %0 people. The present chapel seats 48) and has been overcrowded for some time past. Mr. Aspinwall was asked yesterday whether he did not think that the new church would soon prove too small for its | needs. In reply he said: “I think that the congregation of a thousand people is as much as a pastor, even with an assistant, can hope to attend to properly and fully. My own feeling is that it is better to have a small church well run than a large church not so well attended to. If in the course of a few years it should be evi- dent that the church is inadequate for the demands put upon it, my own idea would be to construct another parish and erect a new church in this part of the town.” The name of this church originally was Calvary P. E. Church, but there was so much confusion with the ‘older church— Calvary Baptist—that the convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the diocese of Maryland, heid last week in Baltimore, Was petitioned to change the name, and the request has been complied with. The wardens of St. Thomas’ Church are Col. George S. Woodward and Mr. Melville Church. The vestrymen are Joseph K. Mc- Cammon, Maj. B. P. Mimmack,Boyd Smith, 8 H. Gelsy, Col. John M. Wilson, Maj. B. F. Rittenhouse, Theodore W. Noyes and P. E. Chapin. The New Church Described. The new St.Thomas Church will be Gothic in its style of architecture, wil! be built of Port Deposit granite and trimmed with In- Giana limestone. There will be but one story, with no gallery. The whole edifice will be built entirely of stone and oak, with no plastered walls. Inside everything will be finished in an artistic and beautiful man- ner with hari woodwork and handsome decorations. The building now occupied for | chureh purposes will remain standing in the rear of the new edifice. Part of it will be divided off, giving a room, with a seating capacity of about two hundred people, for a parish hall, to be used by the Sunday schoo! and other societies of the church, while the rest will be utilized for a vestry room, office and other purposes of the church. The whole of the new church, outside and in, will be a splendid structure, beautiful both |in finish and design. The ceiling of the church will be spanned with massive oak timbers, giving a fine effect, while the num- erous arches will tend to heighten the Goth- ic and rich appearance, BLACKMAIL BY BLUECOATS, Sensational ‘Testimony Regarding New York Policemen. In the investigation of the charges of blackmail against the New York police de- partment before the senate committee at New York yesterday, Mrs. Thurow, keeper of a disreputable house, testified, after The Star’s telegraphic report closed, that she went to the station house one day and founé other women there. They were keepers of bad houses and had been sum- moned by Capt. Dougherty. The captain told her that she must run qutet, as central office detectives might raid her. She hand- ed the captain $25, and he said: “It is un- usual for me to take money directly. Write John Hock on this envelope and put it in a pigeonhole in the desk.” “I did so, Afterward I learned John Hock was the name of the new wardman, who! had taken Barney Meehan’s place.”” She afterward paid $100 to Senator Roosch, she said, to try and have the monthly pay ments to the police stopped. Capt. Dough- erty, who was in court in full uniform, was asked by Counsel Goff to stand up for identification. He did so. The woman said: “That is the man.” Recess was here taken. District Attorney Fellows came in during the giving of the woman's testimony and entered intu a consultation with Delancey Nicoll. It is said he desired to hear if the evidence was strong enough to indict the police captains. Then the witness told about a protection club which was organized by the “girls” to insure them against spending the night in acell. When they were arrested they drew on the club’s exchequer for funds to bribe the sergeant to admit them to bail. The accounts of the club were kept In a book, which was produced before the committee. The witness had put in $10 as a nucleus and the “girls” put in $1 regularly every week. The “girls” got ‘“jugged” so often, however, that it broke the bank. The witness rented a 2d avenue house and paid out a good deal of money. a would be $1,000 for the captain and $250 for himself. I said that was too much, and asked him to see the captain. He did so and said that the captain wanted $500 down, $50 a month for pr@tection and $50 to pay off the debt in installments.” The witness paused, and then said, scorn- “That was the last I saw of Mr. The witness said she pawned her dia- monds to raise money to pay the police blackmail, and when all her money was gone she was shut up. She tried to get some of the money back, without result. Then she went to Dr. Parkhurst and told him how shabbily she had been treated. On cross-examination the witness gave the names of several policemen to whom she had paid money. Kate Schubert testified that she owned and ran a disorderly house on Chrystie street about three years ago. Inspector McLaughlin, then captain, was com- mand. He and his wardman, Burns, called on her and demanded $500 and assured her of protection. She paid it and the ward- man called every month and got $0. Then Capt. Cross came with his wardman, Smith, called at her house and said: “I am the new captain; fork over the initiation fee.” She paid Capt. Cross $500. Wardman Smith called every month and collected $50. Then came Capt. Devery to the Eldridge street station, with his wardman, Glennan. He called and said: “You know, $00 please.” She told him to call in a few days later. He did and. received the money in small bills. In return for this, she says, her house was never raided by the police. Capt. Cross was present and the witness identified him. She said she paid $2,900 for protection. . Mr. Nicoll wanted to put Capt. Cross on the stand. Mr. Goff objected and was sus- tained. “It may be necessary to put every captain on the stand, and Capt. Cross will have his day with the rest,” said Counsel Goff. “And meanwhile the public will suspend judgment,” said Chairman Lexowk. An adjournment was then taken until to- day. Dr. Parkhurst said: “I regard this as a complete justification of my charges.” Dr. Parkhurst has issued an appeal to the patrolmen, in which he urges them to come forward and tell what they know about the blackmailing system conducted by their superiors, and assuring them that if they testify they will be amply protected. ———__ ++ Won His Cabin Boy at a Raffle. From the Philadelphia Record. Capt. Barratt of the American bark Carrie Winslow, which tied up yesterday at pier 70, South Wharves, has on board one of the strangest prizes ever captured in a raffle. It is nothing less than a boy, a swarthy young Argentine, Juan Baptiste by name, whom the captain won in a raffle at Buenos Ayres. Juan is only seven years old, and was an inmate of a Spanish orphan asylum at Buenos Ayres when the Winslow reached there on her last voyage. Juan desired his liberty, but under the laws of the Argen- tine Republic that could only be secured by the payment of a cash sum that would go to a fund for the prosecution of persons taking out the orphans and then treating them badly. In Juan's case the amount re- quired was $46, and in order to secure this the enterprising boy decided to put himseif up in a raffle, and sell the tickets himself. Capt. Barratt became interested In the poy to the extent of $5 spent for tickets, and when the drawing was announced was somewhat surprised to find himself the winner, The youthful prize has been installed on the Winslow as cabin boy, and though he has now been away from his native land several months, shcws no desire to return to It. He is bright and intelligent, and as he evinces a decided disinclination to as- sociate with the crew, Capt. Barratt treats him as one of his own family. +o Attorney General Ellis, who is charged with forgery in connection with the salary amendment vote, was put on trial at Mason, yest Work on the | ecess- | | Diven, New York; Fred Ober Fish, Maine; | George Nelson Goddard, Connecticut; Louis National University. . ‘Winners of the Prise Medals and the Ceremonies Attendant on a Commencement. Wives, mcthers, sister and sweethearts, with a fair representation of fathers, broth- ers and friends, gathered in the Academy of Music last evening to see the objects of their admiration take one further step for- ward in pursuit of the covered prize—suc- cess in life. The occasion was the annual commencement of the law department of the National University. The exercises of the evening were preceded by the rendition of the overture, ““Mavourneen,” and the selection “Isle of Champagne” by the United States Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof. F. Fanciulli. As the strains of the “National University Law School March” broke upon the ear the, members of the graduating classes filed upon the stage and took their seats on the right-hand side. On the left were the regents and faculty of the university and the speakers of the evening. The invocation by Dr. Milburn, chaplain of the Senate, opened the exercises. His prayer was followed by a selection from the band, and then the presiding officer, Chancellor Arthur MacArthur of the uni- versity, introduced Representative William J. Bryan of Nebraska, who delivered the address to the graduating class. The fundamental principles, thought the speaker, which must underlie true success in the sphere of the law were strict honesty and earnest and persistent industry. Natur- al ability and educational advantages were of great assistance, but were not to be too much depended upon. Success was a thing attendant upon duty performed, and should not be the main object of the lawyer's ef- forts. Mr. Bryan called attention to some of the defects in the legal system of today, and suggested to the young lawy that theirs was the opportunity to correct abuses and remedy defects. After the band had played several patriotic airs, the degrees were conferred by the chancellor of the university. Degrees Conferred. The following were given the degree of master of laws: Clifton Montague Bigelow, LL. 8. Russell Bowen, LL.B., Edwin Campbell, jr., LL. B., Shelby Clarke, LL.B., District of Columbia; James H.

Claughton of the faculty read out the list of those who had received the medals which are yearly awarded by the school. Medals Awarded.

Mr. Jim: ith Repulses an Agent. from the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Jimsmith, the lawyer, whose name is a household worl in Chicago, recently moved into a beautiful suburban home. He is highly pleased with it in « general way, but so many agents call upon him that he finds it rather a bore. The other day he opened the door to twelve agents before the afternoon was half over, and when he was jummoned to the door for the thirteenth time he was mad enough to fight a herd of porcupines. A tali, sad-eyed man, dressed in black, confronted him and started to say something, but Mr. Jimsmith interrupted him: “You don’t need to tell me what you have to sell, because I don’t want it: I don’t need @ burglar-proof clock, nor a bootjack that has a music box in it, 20r a stemwinding can opener; I don’t——" “My dear sir, your are mis——" “Oh, you don’t need to ‘dear sir’ me; it won't work. I tell you I don’t want a gate that may be taken from its hinges and used as a folding bed; I have no use for a com- bined currycomb and mustache cup; I have a full supply of furniture polish, cough med- icine, and hair restorer; and, what's more, my wife doesn’t need a recipe for preserving codfish or frying billiard balls.” “Really, sir, this is a most extraordinary “Oh, of course, it's extraordinary, but I don’t want it. I suppose it can be used to grate horseradish and tune the piano, but I tell you I don’t need it. Perhaps it will take the grease spots out of clothing, pare ap- ples and chase dogs out of the yard, but you'll have to go somewhere else to sell it. I am surprised that a man of your age and respectable ap ance should go around trying to sell pocket cornshellers when the whole neighborhood ts full of wood that ought to be sawed. What's the use of try- ing to sell a man a fire escape when you can make $1 a day baling hay?” “I'm not an agent.” “Then what are you?” “I'm the pastor of the Orthodox Brethren Church, and I came over to get acquainted, not knowing that you were a private mad house. Good day.” Called Long for Short. | From the Boston Post. A young man who had not been in this country very long applied for work in a certain establishment in Albany. He was a skilled mechanic and was given employ- ment. The cashier, with his eye on the pay roll, asked the man what was his name. The foreigner speaks and understands English to some extent. He told the cashier his neme and the cashier nearly fainted. It Was one of those curious ten-syllable names which could never be pronounced by any one except the owner, after weeks’ practice. ‘Long, isn't it?” gasped the cashier. “Yes, yes,” said the man, smiling and showing his teeth. “Long.” He understood from the cashier’s remark that his name, converted into English, was Long, and so he has continued to call him- self Mr. Long. Senator McPherson Explains His Connection With the Street. HIS SON DID THE BUYING Intimates That Senators Have a Right to Speculate. MR. CARLISLE’S TESTIMONY About the most interesting portion of the testimony before the Senate gating committee, reported yesterday afternoon, was McPherson in regard to sugar stock. He said that on the 3ist he owned 300 shares stock in New York city, 300 i Ee Ui HL ‘il bill came over to the Senate on sugar, his son purchased 500 more shares of sugar stock, and intended to his railroad shares and invest in sugar. The Senator said that he ed to the purchase of this stock understanding that if the Sena! dicate that legislation on sugar the stock should be sold. On the February his son sold everything he The Stock Bough’ “On the 22d of February, after everything,” continued the Wanted to buy the sugar stock back He had the money then to pay for wanted an investment, and I said that I had some doubt about the of his doing it. However, as he get out of the street and have nothing more to do with it, and take his out en- tirely, I finally assented to it, and an or- der was issued to purchase it. r upon reflection we again took up the matter and discussed it, and while I knew nothing about the purpose of the committee in re- gard to this matter, as I had no consulta- tion with them upon the question of sugar, I said to my son that there were rumors afloat that the Senate committee would do something with respect to legislation in sugar, and that I did not think he ought ‘to buy the sugar stock. “He finally concurred with me in that conclusion, and we resolved that | should be no sugar stock purchased in way, shape or form thereafter; that it be quite as improper, as he and Hl 8 fe é rebel FE H thei f- thought, for him to buy any sugar = it would for me, and, inasmuch as I hed not transferred the account to him at the broker's in New York, because I had not been able to go to New York to do it, if any Stock was purchased it was simply a pur- chase for me, because it would be charged to my account.

It makes no difference which one prepared it, because @ telegram in my name would have been considered sufficient for the order. I know I assented to it at first.” Had Information. In answer to pressing questions’ from Mr. Allen Senator McPherson said his son seemed to have enough information about the situation to govern his operations with- out any advice from him. He himself knew the matter had been talked about in the finance committee and when asked if he did not believe a tariff on sugar would be a necessity he replied, “it looked as if we had to do it to get the votes.” He had previously admitted that he was aware that if the tariff was placed on sugar it would b.crease the value of the sto7k. ie prepared a partial sugar schedule on Sunday two days after the inadvertent telegram had gone to New York. Highly Improper. Mr. Allen asked the witness as to his ideas of propriety of senatorial specula- tion. Mr. McPherson said that he did mot think it would be right for a Senater to speculate in stocks which would be af- fected by legislation, and, therefore, he had not done so. At the same time, he thought that his ownership of stocks would not influence his vote in the least. Senator Allen—“You would not think it proper for the judge of a court to be pecu- niarily interested in @ case that was om trial before him?” i 3 i Eg i i g i i é itietl 3 i ie Seator McPherson—“No, sir; I do mot think that would be a proper 5 Senator Allen—“It would be considered highly improper, would it not?” Senator McPherson—“Yes, sir. Senator Allen—“Do you think it would be any more improper for a Senator who js legislating for the welfare of the entire country and whose mind should be entirely uninfluenced or unbiased by any private tn- terest to have, at that precise time, his money invested In stocks whose value may be affected by the vote he cast?” Senater McPherson—“I ink & men whose mind would be influenced if he had bank stocks or any other kind of stocks—a man who would be influenced a legislator by such consideration—has business at all here.” Mills and Carlisle. Senator Mills also appeared committee. He denied all know! of reported secret interview of Secretary lisle on the sugar question, and and Senators Jones and Vest the sugar schedules as first reported, he knew nothing of any memorandum this schedule from the Secretary. He , denied all knowledge of the alleged conference of the finance committee those interested ir securing sugar tion. He said he bad never heard of bers of the sugar trust being at the while he was acting as a mem! finance committee, and that he met any of the members of the trust. then made a statement concerning the ter of introduction. It was merely a f note, containing only two or three lines. declined to see Mr.Havemeyer. Senator Mills also denied any knowledge of contributions to the democratic campaign committee. Secretary Carlisle's statement, as it ap- pears in the published testimony, is not materially different from that given to the press officially the day after he was before the committee, but some points are sented in greater detail. His memory not correspond with that of Senator Jones as to the time and place that he was asked to put the sugar schedule into shape. He denied in emphatic terms that he had ever made a secret call upon the finance com- mittee or made a demand upon them to protect sugar because of the democratic party's obligations to the sugar trust. if See E E 4 | bie He drsieilt FOR OVER-INDULGENCE Use Horsford’s Acid Phos Taink of you: head in the morning after night's bard labor. and take Horeford’s Phosphate for speedy relief.
