A special dispatch to The Evening Star, dated Richmond, Va., June 23, says: R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, had a stormy session last night at their regular weekly meeting, over the oration of Rev. Dr. Cave, delivered here on the 30th of May last. A letter addressed to the camp, and sent by a G. A. R. post in Chi- cago,was the occasion of the unusually spir- ited debate. The letter sought to secure from the camp a statement as to whether or not that body indorsed the utterances of Rev. R. C. Cave in his address. A clip- ping from a northern paper containing a denunciation of Mr. Cave’s and Gen. Hoss- er’s remarks was inclosed with the let- ter. As soon as the letter was read the mem- bers of the camp began a discussion as to what disposition they should make of the communication, Before the debate had proceeded very far fuel was added to the little flame of indig- nation that was beginning to manifest it- self by statements made by members to the effect that business men in Richmond had, as individuals, received similar letters from northern people. One gentleman sald that in a business communication from a northern firm was asked if he approved of the sentiments expressed by Mr. Cave. He said he made a respectful reply, but that he did indorse all Mr. Cave had said. It developed that a good many similar communications, some half threatening in their character, had been sent to Rich- mond. Some members were in favor of making a reply to the inquiries of the post in Chicago, telling that body that the camp approved of every sentence of Mr. Cave’s address. There were many veterans who argued that the post was out hunting for Political capital, and that nothing would please them more than to receive such a letter. Those who took this view of the subject thought the letter should go unanswered. They thought it would not be wise or ex- pedient for the camp to become involved in what might turn out to be a long con- troversy with the post. The discussion was at times heated, and alweys to the point. Finally a motion to lay the subject on the table until next Fri- day night was made, and, after a sharp fight, was carried. eee Faneral of Chas. H. L. Lemon, The funeral services of Mr. Charles H. i. Lemon took place Saturday, at 2 p.m., from his father’s residence, which was crowded ‘with relatives and friends. A large number of ministers were present. Dr. William Osborne read the Scriptures; Dr. Joel Brown of Union Chapel, who had krown Mr. Lemon for years, and who vis- ited him during his illness, enumerated the virtues of the deceased, and spoke words of comfort and consolation to the family; Dr. L. B. Wilson, presiding elder of the Washington district, read an appropriate selection from the Scriptures, and Dr. Pcy- ton Brown offered prayer.

WATCHING THE BEACH FOR BODIES Adjournment of the Coroner's In- quest. THE IDENTIFIED DEAD HIGHLAND OF NAVESINK, N. J., June 25.—Coroner Wm. Morris of Long Branch arrived here this morning to hold an inves- tigation in the case of the sinking of the tugboat James D. Nichols, having on board seventy-four men, members of the Herring Fishing Club, whose headquarters are at 55 2d avenue, New York. Coroner Morris took charge of the body of a man which Ss washed ashore at this place this morning, impanelled a jury, ad- journed the inquest and had the body re- moved to the morgue to await identifica- tion, An undertaker from Long Branch has men stationed along the coast between Atlantic Highlands and Sea Bright on the lookout for the bodies of the victims as fast as they are washed ashore. The coro- ner will remain here until night, as he ex- pects that more bodies will be washed ashore during the day. Those known to have been drowned are: John Dunn of West 43d street, New York; body at the morgue. Frank McAleer of 95 Washington street. Wm. Moore, a bartender; residence un- known, Herman Everard, residence unknown; bedy recovered. -—— Keyser, residence unknown; body re- covered and is at the morgue. Thomas Masson, 15 De Graw Brooklyn; body recovered and is morgue. Bucgridge, 982 Halsey street, at the Walter Brooklyn; body recovered and is morgue. The story of th> disaster, as learned to- day by the coroner from the survivors, 1s to the effect that the sea was running un- usually high when Capt. Wm. Hyatt started for the Horse Shoe. The high waves broke over the tug, and the crowd on board, to try to escape getting wet, shifted to one side of the boat, which caused her to careen. While in this positign the tug took water rapidly, and when there were several feet of water In the engine room some one cried out that there was danger of the boiler exploding. This caused a panic and a general rush for life-preservers. ‘The tug was righted by being struck by a blg wave, but she had taken in so much water that she serk in a very short time. Many of the men on board had fishing lines out at the time, and it is believed that some of the drowning men got caught in the fishing lines. Meny of the survivors censure Capt. Hyatt and his crew for mismanagement of the boat. This will be thoroughly investi- gated by the coroner. It will probably rever be known just how many persons were on board the ill-fated tug at the time of the accident. Few of the pessengers were acquainted with each other, and the only way in which the names of the lost can be obtained is from the ap- plications of their friends and relatives for information at police headquarters. The passengers came from all over the east side, from College Point, from Brooklyn, and even from Hoboken, and it is probable that some of those drowned will never be reported or heard from again. The list of the missing men has been swelled to thirty-six, and it is belleved that this number will be increased to fifty or more when the names of the strangers who were on board become known. Capt. Hyde's Story. Capt. John Hyde, commander of the ill- fated tug, was seen at the office of the owner of the tug. He is a young man, twenty-five years of age, and says that he has had a master’s license for the past four years. Hyde told the following story: “I could count but fifty-eight passengers on the tug when she left the second stop- ping place at pier 3, East river, the first being at the foot of 5th street, East river. There were five men in the crew, making @ total of sixty-three all told. “The sea, when we started, was not very heavy,and hardly any spray came on board. The passengers, thinking that they might get wet, all crowded to the port side. 1 ask- ed them to divide up and part take the star- board side, but no attention was paid to my request. The sea was somewhat choppy, but not what would be called heavy. Out- side, some distance from shore, it appear- ed much calmer than in shore. “I thought if we ran out for some distance we would make better weather. We were in no apparent danger, except for the peo- ple crowding to the port side of the boat. I suddenly saw a heavy swell or sea bear- ing down on us, closely followed by a sec- ond one. I called again to the passengers to take the starboard side of the boat, but as in the former case, this was not done. The first sea boarded us clean over the bow and rushed aft. The second followed closely, also boarding us over the bow and washed down the port side. This was caus- ed by the heavy load on the boat. When the first wave hit us, I cried, ‘For God's sake get over to the other side!’ I pulled the whistle rope then as a signal of distress, and, seeing the great danger, tied it down. It kept blowing until the Nichols went down. After the boat had careened under the second swell Al. Hammond, a deck hand, and myself climbed through the starboard windows of the pilot house and went overboard. There were a number of people struggling in the water all around. The Ife raft was near the spot where the tug sank and I made for it. There were a number of passengers on it and hanging to it, and their struggles soon capsized it. As it went over I was struck by it and went down. When I arose to the surface I man- aged to grasp it again. “I was at the wheel from the time we left the dock until the accident occurred, except @ short time while at anchor, when I went below for dinner. “It has been stated that I was intoxicated. I wish to say that I am not a drinking man and touched no Mquor whatever. The life preservers were nearly all on the upper deck, but how many were used I cannot say. I did not see anybody entangled by fishing lines or ropes, as was reported. “I did not lose my presence of mind, but acted at the time with my best judgment. There were thirty-four, I think, taken on board the Sayre, including the crew. “I do not think the boat was overcrowded, and had the passengers acted I told them, I think we would have come through all right, as 1 think we would have rode over the two swells if the boat had been on an even keel. I did the best I could under the circumstances.” street, at the ——_-— ON THE MOSQUITO COAST. Zelaya Describes the State of Affairs in That Troubled Country. BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, June 19, via New Orleans, June 25.—P-esident Zelaya, by request of the special correspondent of the Associated Press, has written a letter out- lining his position concerning the Mosquito reservation. The letter is dated Managua, May 26. At the outset the president says: “The present state of this coast does not corres- pond with the demands of life with which it is endowed, and I am sorry to say that the conservative party, which before the revolution of July, directed the politics of this country, may not have lent any atten- tion to these rich regions, to the extent of not having profited by the magnificent ways of communication with the United States and Europe which nature so cheerfully gives us. Their negligence may have gone so far as to have almost lost the bay and city of San Juan Del Norte (Greytown). “In order to promote the advancement and civilization of those regions, Special Com- missioner Dr. Jose Madriz » sent person- ally to gather data and documents relative to this affair, to dictate the measures n essary, to maintain order and give guaran- tees to all inhabitants of that region, and finally to point out what he believed ex- pedient to give impulse to commerce, to favor national and foreign interests and to make of this extensive and rich territory a civilized district, where immigrants can come with all confidence to promote its ma- terial and intellectual advancement by means of honorable labor and the p-zofes- sions usual in cultivated countries. “Minister Madriz has already returned to this capital and is preparing his tnforma- tion, which will be extensive, minute and detailed, as is required by the many ob- servations made in these places for the bet- terment of their condition; he has studied what they need to hasten thei> progress, and the multitude of documents which jus- tify the measures adopted by Nicaragua in this reserve.” A little later President Zelaya discusses the Nicaragua canal subject at some length. In the course of this he says: “I believe it opportune to say, now ‘that they agitate this question warmly in the United States, that the government has the best disposition to enter into arrangements with the old construction company, notwith- standing that they, perhaps from causes {n- dependent of thei: w! not i comply with one of the principal sttpula- tions of the contract, which was the cutting of the canal at Zipitapa. But it rests with Americans, with whom our commercial re- lations have been very close and advanta- geous; the commerce of the world already needs this communication; Nicaragua will agerandize herself with the opening of this canal, and for these considerations the gov- ernment is animated with the best inten- tions in favor of this colossai enterprise. The president concludes his letter as fol- lows: “I am grateful for the interest which you take in the republic of Nicaragua, and giv- ing you now my thanks, I sign mysel your servant, . 8. ZELAYA.” Commissioner Locayo states that he is going to Greytown. The general impres- sion is that he will be superseded by a com- missioner who will be more acceptable to the government of the United States. The present government is very much in need of money, and the signed agreement of the merchants not to pay any moze duties ex- cepting in the scrip of the Mosquito group will result in complete financial ruin of the provisional government. ——_— GATHERING OF REPUBLICA’ Thronging to the National League Meeting at Denver, DENVER, Col., June 25.—Fully 1,200 re- publicans are already here to attend the meeting of the National Republican League, and more are expected. Delegations came in yesterday from Iowa, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana and New Mexico, the Ohio delegates arriving about 11 o'clock last night, and later in the evening dele- gations arrived from Pennsylvania, Ken- tucky and Tennessee. P The attendance bids fair to be much great- er than anticipated. The Indiana people, for instance, had engaged twelve rooms for their accommodation, but thelr num- bers were so great that forty rooms were necessary to accommodate them, and some difficulty was found in securing comfor- table quarters. The Iowa delegation arrived yesterday aftarnoon. The members attracted con- siderable attention as they marched through the streets to Brown Palace Hotel, headed by the Iowa State Band. The delegazion is a large one, and with it are all the state officers, except the governor. The people of lowa are anxious that the republican convention should be held in Des Moines and the delegation has al- ready begun operations in the way of win- ning delegates over to their way of think- ing. Colorado people are here in large num- bers. But little work has been done so far, but the large attendance from the silver- producing section indicate that the friends of the white metal are ready for a vigorous campaigh. —--.—_— CATHOL! KNIGHTS, Every Train Taking Them to the B io Convention. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 23.—Every train brings uniformed Catholic knights to town to attend the sixteenth annual coavention of that order. Many of them are accom- panied by their wives, who are being en- tertained by the ladies of the officers of the Buitelo battalion. In Canisius College yes- ternoon afternoon the delegat2s assembled for the first session, being called to order by Supreme President Wm. Wilhelm of Cleve'and, Ohio. Committees were ap- pointed on credentials, resolutions, cohstitu- tion, military and auditi The president mede his annual report, in which he urged the necessity of revising the constitution, of providing for a fund for the relief of widows and orphans by a graded assessment, and of providing a fra- ternal code for the conduct of secret busi- ness. His recommendations were referred to the committee on constitution. At 8:30 o'clock this morning the delegates assembled in the hotel and were escorted to mass in St. Joseph’s Cathedral, After this act of worship they entered the con- vention hall, and were addressed by the Right Rev. Bishop Ryan and Mayor Bishop. President Wilhelm responded to both ad- dresses. These exercises over, the conven- tion adjourned for the parade at 2:30 p. m. The decorations along the line of march are as profuse as this city ever displayed in honor of any visitors. The parade con- | cluded with a drill in the state arsenal. This evening a reception will be held in the arsenal, in which the prizes won in the drill will be distributed. a DISCUSSING A SETTLEMENT. Miners’ Delegates in Conference at Altoo: ALTOONA, Pa., June 25.—Fifty delegates representing th> coal miners’ organizations in central Pennsylvania met in this city this afternoon in secret conference to hear reports from the different delegates, and to discuss the strike situation. National Pre: ident McBride arrived last night, and is presiding over the secret sessions. A large majority of the delegates come in- structed to hold out for 50 cents a gross ton, and are even more determined in their demand than at the previous conferences. District President Bradley openly favors @ compromise, and National President Mc- Bride is supposed to lean that way. Some Prominent delegates think the convention will arrive at no conclusion, und that the strike will drag along indefinitely. ——— ONLY THE BABY SURVIVED.

A NATION'S REGRET — (Continued from First Page.) people of France in its terrible calamity. The brief remarks which Senators Morgan and Sherman made are, I think, expre: of the sentiments of the people in ge: in America, and are but an echo of my own thoughts. 1 feel that this entire nation ts shocked at this tidings, not only on ac- count of its deplorable nature, but because of the close ties that have always bound the two countries, ties that have insepara- bly linked the names of Washington and Lafayette, of America and France. It is an event such as shakes the brotherhood of nutions to its center. I do not believe, however, that the assassination of Presi- dent Carnot can in any way affect the stability of the French republic, or in the least tend toward the restoration of mon- archical conditions there. The people of France will, 1 think, peacefully and quietly elect a successor to their murdered chief and the republic will be fully as strong notwithstanding this disaster. Nor do I think that the dagger stroke of the assas- sin will plerce tne American system of government nor stimulate similar senti- ments and temptations on this side of the ocean. The republican idea is too strongly imbedded in the soiis of France and Amer- ica to be uprooted by the blow of a single individual.” Senator Manderson. Senator Manderson said: “I hai no per- sonal association with President Carnot at any time. I was in France fifieen years ago, before he was made president, but 1 have always been acquainted with his rec- ord and have recognized in him a safe and responsible leader of the great people. 1 b lieve that this assassination will show al! countries the necessity for adapting more Severe measures of restriction againgt these devils and miscreants, who infest our social system today. The nihilist, who seeks to abolish everything, the anarchist, who seeks to destroy, the communist or the socialist, Who seek to equalize, all are of the same Species of social evils that must be eradi- cated, or, at the least, tamed. I believe that this event in France, sad and deplorable though it may be, will eventually have a tendency toward better conditions by dem- onatrating the need of more and more se- Vere ,overnmental measures against those Who threaten the stability of society. Senator G wer. Senator Gallinger remarked: “From what I have read and heard of the late President Carnot I have always entertained a feeling of high respect for him and his administra- tion of the political fortunes of France. Carnot came from a great family, and his loss will be felt in France very deeply. The assassination will, I think, have two results. First, it will strengthen the republic, rather than weaken it, and, second, it will resuit in legislative enactment there, if not here, also, to prevent the growth of the socialistic doctrines and encouragement of murderous reformers. I think the republic will be strengthened because I do not believe the people of France will be willing to recognize in this act of an infuriated Italian any symptom of popular discontent against the existing form of gcvernment. The day for the restoration of the monarchy is past, and, in my opinion, the republic is as thor- oughly established in France as it is in America. As to the second result, I feel that the time has now come when the gov- ernment of a free nation as this should take decisive steps to prevent the growth of the anarchistic doctrines that seem to assail every government that endeavors to give its People liberty and law AT THE FRENCH EMBASSY. The Flag at Half-Mast—Official Notifi- cation of the Tragedy. A large tri-color, the flag of France, hung at half-mast in front of the French embas- sy on H street today. The news of "he death of President Carnot came to the am- bassudor and his associates with all the more bitier force on account of its sudden- ness, and the horcible manner in which the tragedy occurred. All were immensely shocked by the sad news, and at first could not realize that It was true. Last evening M. Patenotre drove in from his country home and was at the embassy when he received the news by telephone from the office of a press association. He did not ccegit the news at first, and thought that there must be some mistake, but later advices showed that it was only too true. All last evening he waited for some official notification from his home gov- ernment, but this did not arrive until this morning. All the members of the embassy have nothing but words of regret and sor- row for the sad event that closed the caree> of the head of the French government. They all looked upon him with the greatest respect, and admired him for his devotion to his country’s interests and to republi- canism. In the conversations among them today a great deal is said as to the similari- ty between the fate of President Carnot and that of President Garfield. Several of those at the embassy were in Washington when Guiteau fired his fatal bullet and well re- member the incidents of the long siege of pain that intervened between the time Pres- ident Garfield was shot and his death. The president of France was spared this long period of suffering, but he, too, met his death at the hands of a man who had noth- ing against him personally, and was ac- tuated solely by crack-brained ideas. Official Notification, The first official notification received at the embassy came this morning in the form of a brief telegram, which came from the ministry of foreign affairs. It simply ftated that M. Carnot had been wounded. It was followed a few minutes later by another stating that the president was dead. Shortly after the receipt of the sec- ond telegram M. Patenotre went directly to the State Department, where he saw Secretary Gresham, and officially conveyed to him the news, with the request that the Secretary would inform the President. This Mr. Gresham did without delay, and he was closeted for some little time’ with Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Herbert at the White House. The Secretary of State sent en expression of sympathy to the French ambassador, and shortly before noon Mr. Pruden, the executive clerk at the White House, was sent to the Capitol with a mes- sage to Congress informing the two bodies of the death of the French president. The Serate had already adjourned. Messages were also received at the State Department this morning with the news from Ambassador Eustis. The delay in the receipt of any offictal communication from the American representative in Paris is explained by the fact that all wires were probably put under governmental supe! vision immediately, as was done in this city when President Garfield was Justice Will Not Be Dela: According to the gentlemen connected with the French embassy in this city the anarchist who killed M. Carnot has but a very short lease of life left. They do not delay in matters of this sort in France as they do in this country. The fact was commented on pretty freely this morning that since the day when Prendergast shot and killed Mayor Harrison of Chicago there have been three or four dynamite outrages committed in Paris. The French police officials have their records all closed up, however, for the men who perpetrated the outrages have all been guillotined, while Prendergast's lawyers are still fighting for further delay in his case. They do not act with indecent haste in France, but they do not waste any time, either, and no one would be surprised if Santo’s head should grace a basket within a very few weeks, The French legislative assembly is now in session at Versailles, and as a call has been issued for an election for Mr. Carnot's successor on Wednesday it is not thought that there will be a very long interregnum. A prominent official at the embassy was asked by a Star reporter this morning as to who would probably be chosen to fill the vacant chair. He said that he had not the slightest Idea. The election will be made by the legislative assembly, and as there are about 900 members of the two bodies he said that it would be impossible even to hazard a guess. A large number of the diplomatic corps have called at the em- bassy today to leave their cards, with a suitable expression of regret, and it is probable that M. Patenotre will issue to them mourning cards appropriate to the occasion. Mr. McLane Affected. Mr. Robert McLane, who was minister to France under President Cleveland's first ad- ministration, was among the visitors at the White House today. The President was en- gaged with Secretaries Gresham and Her- bert at the time and Mr. McLane transacted his business with Private Secretary Thur- ber. A Star reporter endeavored to secure a talk from him in regard to President Car- not, but he declined point blank to say an3- thing whatever on that subject. His man- ner showed, however, that he was deeply affected by the occurrence. The American derby Saturday was won by Lucky Baldwin's bay colt El Ray Santa INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

SPOCK SYNDICATE. to June 15, 1804, as follows: Powell stated that he had given the mat- ter much thought, and while he considered } that a transfer of cars from one line to another Was impracticable, at least at the present time, he was in favor of sume gen- eral transfer, fair to the public and the railroads as well. ‘The scheme, as he un- derstood it, provided for roofed union trans- fer stations at convenient points. He no- ticed that the bill said notning ubout the herdic companies, and he thought that they should be included. A general discussion of the bill by the Commissioners and President Duniop of the Washington and Georgetown company, President Cummings of the Brightwood road, Secretary Schoepf of the belt and Eckington lines, Presiaent Griswold of the Anacostia line, and President Stevenson of the Metropolitan line followed. The discu: sion very brief one, and it was in- sisted by the railroad people that the bill was an impracticable one. They said that in no other city in this country were rail- road fares as low as here. They therefore contended that the provisions of the bill imposed a hardship upon the railroad com- panies here, in requiring them to carry a istrict to another for one fare. Commissioner Powell suggested that 2 cents adaitional be required tor a transfer from one road to another, but Mr. Dunlop emphatically stated that neither his road nor, he believed, any other road in the Di: trict could carry passengers for 2 cents. Mr. Cummings was of the same opinion, and said that it cost his road 39-10 cents to carry every passenger. So, if his road should be compelled to carry passengers from another road without additional fare, or even at 2 cents, it would mean the col- lapse of the road. Even as things were, his road last year ran behind $11,000 und this year it would probably be $14,000 be- hind. Mr. Schoepf remarked that last year the Belt line ran $35.00v behind and the Ecking- ton line $22,u00, President Griswold of the Anacostia line said that in Isy2 they carried 1,192,646 pass- engers, the receipts being $00,840. The next year they arranged a system of transfers with the Belt line, and, while they in that year carried 1,549,222 passengers, the re- ceipts amounted to but $57,574, showing a joss under the transfer system of over 000. Commissioner Truesdell said that he did not believe that it would ever be practicable to have a uniform fare in the District. The distances were too great to allow transpor- tation in the District for a single fare. In many cities in Burope the fare was regulat- ed by the distance. Mr. Dunlop intimated that such a rule would be agreeable to him, and, he imagin- ed, to the other roads in the District. The dise m Was continued informally, but the hi ing adjourned without any conclusion being reached by the Commis- sioners. —_—— CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE MEETING.

The main work of this committee today will be to hear the report which will be submitted by the subcom- | mittee on plan of work.

One of the questions to come before the Supreme Lodge at its session in this city | in August will be that of admitting the Or- der of Pythian Sisters of the World into a pesttion as auxiliary to the Knights of Pythias. This will probably be done. In| 1888 the Supreme Lodge, K. P., then in session at Cincinnati, allowed the wives. sisters, mothers and widows of Knights of Pythias to form an organization. This | permission wi taken advantage of, and now the Order of Pythian Sisters has a membership of over 25,000, scattered | throughout nearly every state and terri- tory in the Union. Large numbers of them will be here in August. They will hold a session on their own account, and will have headquarters at the Elsmere. —_—_-—_ A Heavy New York Failare.
