Viscassing a New Form of Lense at the Grove. * At a meeting of the Washington Grove Camp Meeiing Association held in the @rove's tabernacle last evening a new form ef lease was adopted, the principal differ- ence between it and the old form being the brevity of the former, that form con- ‘taining about G00 words less than the old one... Dr. M. D. Peck of the board of trustees eaid he was the only member to oppose She. lease, the. other trustees pretending to ‘be able to meet the expenses of the asso- <@iation by oné method of taxation, whereas they knew, he said, the levying of an as- sessment would be required to raise the Z funds.’ He was opposed to a re- taxes, although in Bniform system of taxation. A reduction it now could not be afforded, as all the ‘Céliected last year and more was ni and levy taxes as they were levied this President Gee explained that there was Ro intention on the part of the trustees to @o as Dr. Peck haf pointed out, and Mr. Platt thought the old lease was good enough and moved to lay the new form on the table. His motion was lost, however, and Upon the motion of Mr. Tracy the matter wi recommitted to the trustees for im- Mediate revision. After a recess of twen- ty minutes, during which the trustees re- YVised the form to the satisfaction of the Stockholders, it was adopied, and the mest- ing adjourned subject to the call of the President of the association. -—->-— Whe Reces at the Bathing Beach Post- poned.

Early Monday morn- ing the grocery and provision store cf Mrs. Bryant, on the Falls Church road near Rosslyn, was broken open and the entire stock of groceries carried off.

The rain, naturally affected the attendange,,,but did not other- wise interfere w‘th the proceedings. There was considerable uncertairty as to the hour when they would begin, Most of the people | interested assembled about 5:30, and at that time it was estimated: jthat. there. were nearly 4,000 pecple—men, women and chil- dren—congregated “i> thé "vidinity:" The weather, while warm, was fair, with no in- dications of the storm that was about to burst upon them. As a matter-of fact, how- ever. it had been,arranged, by those in charge that thie ceremonies should not begin. until 6:30 o'clock, dnd tt-was' fully:haif an hour beyond that time before the different uckily, however, it did not last very iong, amd gradually the i the scene to about two- thirds the original hamhber. > 160 vt Masons Who.

Thé rain ¢ame down in a steady drizzle; and their beautfful re- galia suffered severely, but they did not falter, and took the places assigned them with excellent grace. lt was then nearly 7 o'clock, end the storm -having spent its ferce the program of the occasion was be- gon ani carried out faithfully, notwith- standing the lowering clouds and the fact that the shades of night were falling fast. The exercises opened with the playing of Coates’ ‘National Columbia" by the Marine Band. Worthy Grand Chaplain C. B. Smith ¢ffered an appropriate prayer, after which @ case containing the articles for deposit was dropped into place, and the huge brown stone,which is to be the corner piece of the building, was gracefully swung into position. The usual tests w ve applied, and the stone was found to be “well formed, true and square,” and the corn, wine and oil, representing nourishment, refreshment and gladness, were brought into requisition. M. W. Grund Master Henry D. Merrill used the trowel and added the mortar, and the brethren gave the usual honors of the or- der. vT Corner Stone. The corner stone fs made of Hummelstown brown stone. It is an exact cube, inches to the side. It bears the inscription, ‘Laid July 23, 1894, by Henry S. Merrill, M. W. grand master. Washington Naval Lodge, No. 4. Organized May 14, 1805; reorgan- ized as Navel Lodge, No. 4, January 19, isi." ‘The trowel used by Grand Master Merrill is the same one ysed by President Wash- ington in laying the corner stone of the Capitol. It is the property of Potomac Lodge, No. 5, of Georgetown, and when not in use is sacredly guarded in the vault of the Bank of Commerce of that city. During the ceremonies of laying the stone appro- priate odes were rendered by a choir com- posed of the foliowing brethre: + D. Me- Farland, E. C. Gill, Wm. H. Daniel, 8. A. Sawtelle, Henry Eberbach, Jno. F. Black- mar, I. L. Johnson, R. H. Boswell. The beautiful anthem “Old Hundred” was well rendered by the Marine Bard, after which Past Grand Master L. C. Willlam- son delivered the oration of the day. The lateness of the hour caused him ta.sharten- his address.

Any one who has had a living experience in those states and territories which show an excess, and who is at all familiar with the departments in Wash- ington, can readily account for such ex- cess, and from personal observations, I be- eve the following to be a pretty correct statement of the case. It must be remem- bered that these excesses are the results of time, and not of recent appotntments. Pass- ing for the present the District of Colum- and the states of Maryland and Vir- sinia, it will be seen that all of the states and territories having an excess of ap- pointees He west of the Mississippl, and that the percentage increase: the west- ing. The territories generally have a great- er excess than the states, but where a state is high, that state was a@ recent ter- ritory, or has present conditions of popula- tion, settlement, ete., that are territory-like. Utah is the only territory having a de- ficit. Of the appointees accredited to those states and territories having an excess, It is within the bounds of truth to assert, though, from the nature of the case, hard to prove, that fully 30 per cent are not bona fide residents. They have simply claimed such residences because, too often, the appointing power had not the knowl- edge to check them to the contrary, as he would have in cases of the older settle- ments. Twenty-tive per cent more consists of those roaming, unsettled spirits who could find no conget abiding place in the newly opened territories. The remain- der are appointees who are residents of the places from which they hail. Utah ts an exception to the excess side; first, because some of her Mormon usages have rendered her name an unpopular “Shibboleth” with which to juggle in Washington and second, because her resi- dents are largely of the hard-working. honest, plodding kind, who are content to stay at home. ‘ The large excess of the District of Coluni- bia, is, in a sense, more apparent than real. The mass of appointees charged to it, cer- tainly the older ones, carne from elsewhere to serve the government. They bought homes, lost interest in their.old places, and like honest men, at the next registration, gave the District of Columbia as ‘their resi- dence. This same cause also accounts for the excess of Maryland and Virginia, large- ly; while their balance is readily explained by thelr contiguity to the United States all-right, and the District should always have a large excess in all of the departments. Othetwiie t Pportionment must be to the letter,,and the government must furnish barracks for its employes.

The Question to Me Agitated and a Campaign of Baycation to Be at Once Gemmenced. At Rechabite Hall last evening there was @ fairly well attended meeting of those who believe that the people of the District should be given the right of franchise. The meeting was under the auspices of the pro- visional committee appointed at a recent ineeting, and it was decided to issue a man- ifesto to the people of the District setting forth the form of government thought to be most desireable. It was also decided that clubs for the purpos: of promoting suffrage here should be formed in the old legislative districts, and a comgnittee of fifteen ap- Pointed to place the matter before the peo- ple of the different states for the purpose of enlisting their sympathies in the cause. To Define the Form of Government. President Milford Spohn, president of the Federation of Labor, called the meeting to order, and Patrick H. Loughran was ap- pointed secretary. The first speaker of the evening was Mr. F. L. Siddons. He thought the most. important thing to be done was to define ‘the form of government to be ad- vocated. Calling attention to the comments of the newspapers of Washington for and against suffrage, he said that it would be necessary to issue a manifesto which would clearly inform Congress and the people of the District of all that was proposed. To draw up such a manifesto he moved that a committee of five be appointed by the chair. Before that motion was put, however, it was decided that a permanent organize- tlon of the provisional committee be effect- ed, and the presiding officer was made per- manent chairman, and Mr. R. B. Parkman was made secretary. Suffrage Based uw Individual Respon- _ aibility. - Mr. . Joseph Steer then proceeded to discuss the motion, and depicted the virtues and vices of government without suffrage. The government of the District, he de- clared, should be a model to all the rest of the country. Suffrage here should be based, he urged, upon individual responsibility. To make it otherwise would be to make it ten- tative and frag nentary, which would in the end result in failure. Evils of state govern- ments should be avoided, and the only rights to be considered were the rights of all. What the people of the District most needed, sail Mr. Steiner, was the right to determine just how much they should be taxed. While every man should bear a part of the burdens of taxation,the people should have the right of the initiative and the referendum, At the conclusion of Mr. Steiner's re- marks a motion to limit the debute to five- minute speeches was carried. Mr. C. P. Hemingway explained that he believed the details of the form of government should be submitted to a constitutional conven- tion or by an original bedy to be chosen by the provisional committee. He thought the most important question was whether @ municipality or representation in Con- gress would be fayored. The question, he believed, could be settled by a yea and nay vote. Mr. S. H. Bell believed that a campaign of education was necessary. He favored Nr. Siddons’ motion, and also favored state- bcod, claiming that the District, with 40,000 or 50,000 male voters, was as much entitled to statehood as Neyada with only 11,0W. Various Views Expressed. Mz. Siddons explained that he had learned from conversations with many people of the District that some form of suffrage was favored by a large number of them. Mr. R. J. Beall declared that the old gov- ernment was an honest one, and that only scheming to obtain power opens the, way to fraud. He belieyed that at the present time a military despotism prevailed in the District, a matter which he denounced in severe terms. He wag-not in favor of any property qualification,’ for he belleved that those who paid rents were ih fact taxpay- ers. Mr. Spohn explained that the advocates of suffrage did not want a title deed to the earth, as had been charged, but they did want to share in the government of the United States with its 13,000,000 voters. T. J. Foley and R. B. Parkman favor- ‘ed.a city council, with as few members as possible, in order to measure the fixed re- sponsibility. Mr. M. P. Canty urged that the question of suffrage be submitted. to the people of the District at an election, to be held early in the coming fall. ing .was_ further addressed by S. E. Jones, W® H. Cromlein, Wm. McCabe and others, after which the motion by Mr. Sid- dons was carried, and the chair appointed : Good As Gold! An honest» man’s promise. is just as good here as cash.

A suggestion made by Mr. Wm. McCabe that members of the labor organizations shiuld on next labor day carry banners advocating suffrage was also adopted. An- other motion was also adopted, made by Mr. Hemingway, for the appointment of an agitation committee, composed of fifteen members from various organizations, to have in charge the agitation of the ques- tion of suffrage in the District in the differ- ent states of the Union.
