MILWAUKEE, Wis, August 2—The committee of the Knights of Pythias which has in charge the revision of the constitu- tion of that order have completed their session and adjourned. The committee con- sists of Representative George B. Shaw of Eau Claire, chairman; George BE. Seay of Gallatin, Tenn.; John H. Alexander of Leesburg, Va.; W. A. Radcliffe of Hender- son, Ky., and M. L. Stevens of New York city. The committee will report at the annual encampment of the order, to be held in Washington August 27. The re- port will recommend sweeping changes and a complete revision of the constitution of the order. The titles of the order will be changed and they will simply be designated as a president, vice president, secretary end treasurer. A new constitution is an ap- plication as far as possible of the simplic- ity of the United States government to a secret organization. The executive power is in the president; the senate will be the governing power, and there will be a tri- bunal to consist of judges who shall try all disputes which may arise in the order. The ritual has also been revised and mod- ernized. ANDREW JACKSO: GRAVE. An Attempt Made Last Evening to Rob It. NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 2.—Informa- tion was received today from the Hermit- age, where Gen. Andrew Jackson's remains are buried, that his grave was disturbed last night by some urknown person or per- sons. A hole eighteen inches in depth and three feet in length was dug at the head of the grave, but the parties were frightened away before they accomplished their object. pore Hermitage is twelve miles from this city. ——— KILLED BY HIS SON.

LATE TELEGRAPHIC NEWS > TACOMA, Wash., August 2—A Reosiyn special to the Telegram says: ‘The miners and drivers tn the employ of the Northern Pacific Coal Company, who went out May 1, on account of a proposed reduction of 20 per cent, have learned that they will not be taken back, although they decided to return to work on the company’s terms.

Probably 300 men here will be obliged to seek employment else- where. Many are destitute. PORT HURON, Mich., August 2.—The merchants of this city are protesting against a discharge of Grand Trunk em- ployes who took part in the strike. They estimate that $15,000 has been spent with them monthly by local employes of the road. A meeting has been called, which the officers will be formally asked to rein- state the men. Otherwise, the merchants threaten to boycott the road. KANSAS CITY, Mo., August 2.—Most ex- traordinary action was taken at last night’s meeting of the A. R. U. at Argentine, when 400 Sante Fe railway employes, who were recently summoned to appear before the United States court at Topeka, refused flatly to obey the demands of the court. Secretary McFadden was authorized to send the following letter to Judge Scarritt of the United States court at Topeka, and it was sent last night: “In behalf of myself and other men at this point, who have been served with re- turnable orders made on the first week of August, I beg leave to say we are not con- scious of having violated any law, and we do not feel justified in paying railroad fare to answer them in person, nor will we em- ploy an attorney. “If the decrees of the court can be invok- ed against us with no more justification than in the present cise, then our boasted justice and liberty Is simply a jug-handle affair, and we will not attempt to resist it. You will find us at Argentine whenever you want us,”” Work Resumed. CHICAGO, August 2—The Pullman works were started today quietly and without demor stration on the part of the employes. But 250 reported for work, although the compary expected 800, About 1,000 strikers gathered about the building, and good- naturedly chaffed the returning workmen, but no attempt at violence was made. A heavy detail of police was on hand and re- mained at the works all day. ST. PAUL, Minn., August 2.The Omaha shops epened for work today with eighty- five men, and will soon have a full force at work. All the A. R.

CHICAGO, August 2—President Debs presided over the A. R. U. convention which met here today. The neighborhood of the hall was thronged with men, mostly work- men, who were deeply interested in the meeting, but many of them were not dele- gates to the convention. The meeting began behind closed doors, and President Debs said before going in admitting the public. Vice President Howard entered the con- vention hall just before the meeting came to order. He sald that it was impossible to tell what matters might come before the delegates. The strikers’ boycott would, he sald, be the Lg? subject considered. There were about 250 delegates present, represent- ing 512 unions. ae GEORGIA DEMOCRATS, The Meeting of the State Convention Today. ATLANTA, Ga., August 2—The meeting of the state democratic convention, fixed for noon today, has attracted to the city the largest attendance of democrats from all over Georgia Known in recent years. Be- sides the 350 delegates entitled to seats in the body as the representatives of the 137 counties in the state, there are delegations of citizens, many of them from remote sec- tions, swelling the number of visitors in the city to fully 800. The convention is called to nominate candidates for governor, secretary of state, controller general, treas- urer, attorney general and commissioner of agriculture for terms of two years each. For governor, W. Y. Atkinson, ex-speaker of the house of reprecentatives, and former chairman of the state democratic executive committee, has no opposition, his sole com- petitor in the primaries, Gen. Clement A. Evans, having retired from the Race when the result was pracuically decided in the local elections several weeks ago. The only contest ts for secretary of state, for which office there are two candidates, Allen D. Candler, the incumbent, and Wm. Clifton of Chatham. The chief interest of the convention cen- ters about its attitude on the silver question and toward the administration. Talk with the delegimgs betrays wide differences on the financial issue, but a general disposition to harmonize, if possible, in view of the strong populist opposition to be met in the coming campaign. The free coinage element is aggressive, but the advocates of the Chi- cago platform are determined, and a warm contest over the financial plank is expected. Half an hour before the opening of the con- vention the hall of the house of representa- tives in the state capitol was crowded to discomfort with delegates and spectators. Promptly at ncon Allen Fort, chairman of the state executive committee, called the body to order. THEIR MODE: Y SHOCKED. The People of Okia Against Ind PERRY, O.

Letters have been recelved in this city this week from Mr. Walter Wellman, who, with his expedition, is somewhere between Washington and the north pole. The letters are by no means of recent date, but at the same time they bring some definite informa- tion as to the welfare of the party, and would seem to prove that some, at least, of the statements contained in the alarming reports as to his safety were false. Further- more, they make it look almost as though some studied attempts were being made to discount the success of the expedition. It seems rather curious that the letters should have been brought down from Dane's Island by the yacht Saide, the very vessel that brought the most alarming rumors. Totally Different Statements. According to the storfes brought by the Saide from the north, the ice is unusually thick and bad this season, and it was con- jectured that Mr. Weliman’s ship, the Ragnvaid Jarl, must have been crushed in the floe. The letters just received contra- dict the first statement entirely and bear out Mr. Wellman’s statements made in his newspaper letters, already printed in The Star, to the effect that rarely has such an open season been known as the present one, and that he hopes to be able to go farther ncrth before leaving his ship and taking to the ice than he had supposed would be pos- sible when he left Washington. The letters were addressed to Mrs. Well- man, who is still in the city with their little girls. The letters are two in number—one dated May 6 and the other May 10—and were received here day before yesterday. The firs® letter was written when the Ragnvald Jarl was tied up to an iceberg at Spltzbergen. Her arrival at that point was considerably ahead of the date given by the experts in Norway as the earliest she could possibly be expected to reach there, Conditions Favorable. Both captains on board sald that never in all their experience had they known the conditions to be so favorable for arctic sailing. They were confident that they would be able to make a record for their ship by going farther north than any ship had ever gone before, and it {s this prob- ably that accounts for the delay in return- ing to Tromsoe, the delay ‘that gave rise to the rumor that the party had been lost. They said that they intended to go as far north as the Seven Islands, if they could before disembark!ng the members of the party on tie ice. If they did reach there Mr. Wellman and his expedition probably took to their aluminum boats and sledges at that point. All Right at Dane's Island, It was expected that the trip to Dane's Island would be accompanied with some dimiculties, but this did not Prove to be the case at all for they reached there on the following day without mishap. ‘The second ietter was dated on thelay before the ship left Dane's Island and fn it' Mr. Weilman spoke of being very b iting, s9 that it will probably not be vbry fong before the readers of The Star wifl enfoy some more of his interesting J Tigtlogs of life in the fer north. ‘She letter er? left at Dane's Island, where they were picked vp Ly the Salde. At the time of writing all the mem- bers of the expedition were,in the best of health and spirits, and more confident of success even than .hey were when they left Washington last spring? —_— AMONG THE MOUNTAINS, A Washingtonian’s Pleasant Vacation im the 4 Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. IN THE ALLEGHENIES, July 31, 1894, The valleys of Pennsylvania ure ing beauties” around which ever. To see these valleys fairly and to trace their beautiful features and outlines one must climb up on the ehoulders of these sentinel mountains and take in the picture which stretches from horizon to horizon. Money and enterprise have com- bined in making some of the summits famous and popular as summer resorts and pleasure grounds, whither multitudes go from day to day to enjoy the glorious pros- pects which are presented to the eye and to enjoy the tonic air. The Star's corres- pondent looks out from his bed chamber in the valley to one of these heights, the Wopsononock, one of the loftiest peaks of the Alleghenies in this part of the state. The breezes from this summit are the fan- that the meeting would probably continue {Ming machines which nature has set in in secret, although some were in favor of f operation to give the denizens of the val- ley refreshing slumber. It is very invigor- ating to drink in the pure currents of life and health as they come along from the mountains, untouched by city smells, and just as they are compounded in the clean laboratory of clouds and sky. Warm in the Mountains Even. And yet the heat of July has been exces- sive even amid these grand scenes and at the base of these mountains. The temper- ature has gone up to 104 degrees in the shade several days of late. We felt like going back, quickly, to Washington for a whiff of fresh air and to proclaim the mountain resorts a failure as to comfort and enjoyment. But the lovely evenings and the cool nights bring redemption, and with noiseless surroundings and refreshing sleep you sing the praises of the moun- tains with the sunlight and the new-born day, and you realize again and again that after all “life is worth living” here. Business Paralyzed. The industrial paralysis is very severely felt in central Pennsylvania. Not much improvement tn any direction as yet. The people are anxiously and impatiently wait- ing for congressional action of some sort to relieve the awful burden which op- presses the business activities of the coun- try. There are immense resources here— iron, coal, timber, fine farms, great manu- facturing plants—but men are idle in all the departments of commerce and trade, and “what next” is the question which hangs gloomily over the prospect for autumn and winter. And what of cur be- loved Washington city? Is that strange and menacing “‘commonweal” army to be fastened indefinitely on the people of the District and the ‘surrounding =communi- ties? Is there no law for the removal of such an unparalleled ‘nuisance und evil? If there be no law to: meet the case why do not our legislators at the Capitol enact some legislation by which: these irrespon- sible and troublesome hordes should be speedily scattered, and the citizens be re- heved from the burdensome and dangerous crowds of idlers that are dumped in emong them {n increasing numbers from day to day?

PREPARING FOR ANOTHER BATTLE Splendid Full Dress Parades and Sharp Guard Mounts. MANY SITORS IN CAMP Camp Blake, the temporary home of the provisional regiment of the District of Co- lumbia National Guard, was without its commandant during the greater portion of yesterday. Major Suess was called home on the morning boat by the announcement that his wife was ill. During the absence of Lieut. Col. W. J. Simmons, who was also in the city, the command of the post de- volved upon Acting Major Story, Captain Tomlinson ussuming command of the sec- ond provisional battalion, During the skort period \hat Major Story was in command he was not idle. In the middie of the day, while the rays of the sun were hottest, he called for a voluntary drill, and three companies responded and maneuvered for an hour or more. Lieut. Col. Simmons arrived on the afternoon boat and immediately assumed command of the ost. aren the arrival of the River Queen shortly after 6 o'clock, Major Suess’ gary charger was saddled, and standing in read- Iness on the wharf in the event that the popular post commandant should return. HMeut I. W. Reid. Lieut. G. C. Shaw. Major Suess was among the first to alight, and as the bugles was sounding “assembly for dress parade” the major rode up and took command of the regiment in the field. His return was a welcome one to the boys. Rifle practice was the feature of the day, both targets being constantly in use. Among those making scores of 40 or more ineer corps, 20 Private Pollard, 3; 300 yards, ldeut. : yards, 44. Lieut. Vale, sixth battalion, 40 at both 200 and 300 yards. Lieut.

The shooting today began at 0:30 a.m. and continued until 12:30, and again from 2:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. It was at 50) and 600 yards. During the afternoons of each day Camp Blake resembles a brigade encampment, owing to the daily visits of scores of offi- cers and men of the District of Columbia National Guard. Among those who spent several hours with the provisional regiment yesterday were Major Gilbert Thompson and Captain Avertil of the engineer corps, Adjutant F, W. Holt, Surgeon Munson, In- spector of Rifle Practice G. B. Young and Quartermaster W. E. Harvey. Another large crowd encircled the rill fleld to witness dress parade in the even- ing. The companies appeared in full dress uniform and won praise for the excellent manner in which they executed the cere- mony. As usual the colors were saluted as the regiment marched off the field. This morning Maj Lieut. J. C. Waters, Licut. T. V.Walker to rehearse the sham battle, which occurs after dress parade this evening. The strife is expected to be a great improvement in every respect over the interesting con- troversy of Tuesday last. At a meeting of the members of company A, fifth battalion, also known as the Union Veteran Corps, yesterday, C. B. Fenton was elected an honorary member of the organi- zation. The person referred to first saw the light of day at the time of the encampment of the Union Veteran Corps at Colonial Beach two years ago. The father of the baby has been a member of che company for twelve years, and the boys are of the opin- fon that if the little one proves half as faithful, patrioticatly, as his father has company A will have no cause to regret hav- ing made the youngster an honorary mem- ber. Sergeant S. Wallace of the engineer corps, who owns the homing pigeons used by the regiment, visited camp yesterday to look after his birds, and also superintended the start of a number of pigeons carrying mes- sages to The Star. Professor William Joréan of the drum corps, late at night, renders selections on his cornet, which are highly appreciated by all within hearing distance. It is rumored that watermelon patches in the vicinity of Camp Blake are being visited by midnight marauders, and the farmers are organizing for gvard duty until the departure of the regiment. The engineer corps was photographed yes- terday in a group by Mr. Louis G. Free- man, Private Hienberger caused considerable excitement last evening by falling into the river off the wharf. The soldier intentional- ly hid himself behind a pile, and several parties in row boats were in search of him for about half an hour. When he finally emerged from his hiding place, the private was placed under arrest and taken to the guard tent. Drummer Shepherd claims to own the only correct timepiece in the camp. According to this chronometer, mess call should be sounded from one to three hours earlier than it is. The drummer, therefore, is dis- consolate. Company C, third battalion, is deserving of special commendation for its soldierly bearing during the encampment. It ts com- posed of High School boys, and this is the first military outing of Capt.

INH OTEL CORRIDORS “When the death of Gen. Albert Pleas- anton was announced, @ great many per- scns thought it wes his brother, Gen. Al- fred Pleasanton, whom the Comte de Paris once characterized as being @ greater sol- dier than the Black Prince, who was gone,” said an old newspaper man at the Riggs House this morning. “The event, however, has had the effect of bringing Gen. Alfred Pleasanton into a prominence that he has for a long time desired to be free from. Up to four or five years ago Alfred Pleas- enton was one of the most prominent per- scns in Washington. I don’t suppose any one ever saw him on the street before % o'clock in the afternoon during the many years he lived here, and before he became the recluse he now is, but it was always easy to run across him in the wee small hours in some one of the resorts which kept open very late, or all night. This was par- ticularly the case in regard to Charlie God- frey’s old piace. Gen. Pleasanton could be found either there or at Chamberlin’s al- most invariably at midnight or thereabouts. A fine old gentleman he was, too, and it was worth staying up several times over to meet him with a pleasant coterie, telling Stories and exchanging reminiscences. 1 knew him weil in his best days, and a more yvable and just man I never met. je in which he took such a part left no rancor and bitter- ness with him, and I remember a thrilling incident that lilustrates his fairness, that occurred early one morning at John Cham- berlin’s place, when it was situdted in the former home of the old Washington Club, where the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion now is, Gen. Pleasanton was one of a party in which were dear and dead Rams- dell, ex-Governor Tom Young of Ohio and Gen. A. C. Jones, who had just been ap- pointed consul to Nagasaki and was going to leave for his post next da: There were two or three others, including myself. At another table were three strangers, one of whom was reviling the attitude of the south during the war. His conversation wae evidently as ar.noying to his friends as it was to us, and became particularly ob- noxious when he attacked the courage of southern soldiers. I never heard such a bloody shirt harangue even on the stump. While the fellow was talking I noticed that Pleasanton was wrapped in a deep study and evidently much perplexed. Suddenly he brightened up, and rising from his seat, with his slight figure trembling with anger, and his eyes Mashing dangerously, he walk- ed over to the other table and tapped the scuth hater on the shoulder. “Do you know me?” he demanded sharp- The man looked up end started slightly, but replied that he did not. “Well, I know you,” hissed Pleasanton. “I had you drummed out of my camp just before Antietam for abject cowardice, and I'm 4—4 sorry now that I didn’t have you hanged. Do you know me now? I'm The man turned white and red under the old general's withering glance. “Get out of this place,” continued Pleas- anton, meaningly. “You are neither a fit associate for gentlemen nor a proper per- son to remain under the same roof with them, so get out of here at once. The fellow saw that he w in danger, especially from his two companions, who were livid with rage, and preferring the door to the window he slunk out like a vhipped cur. I knew the scoundrel’s voice the moment T heard it,” said Pieasanton, when his won- derful memory was commented on, and he was about to tell the story of the fellow’s cowardice in the army, when something interrupted and we never heard it.” “Human beings are pretty apt to hold others responsible for events which their own actions have brought about,” said Con- gressman Cooper of Florida at the National this morning, “and I recently discovered that there are people in the world who are vitally affected in their lfe work by fear that somebody else is lable to do something that will prove disastrous to them. There is a very fine young man down in Florida— a machinist by trade—who was at one time a locomotive engineer. I asked him one day why he had deserted such a lucrative pro- fession, that offered steady employment at ail times, and adopted a similar, but less remuneratwe, means of livelihood. He told me that he gave up engineering because he had lost his nerve. He said that the idea got fixed in his head that an accident was going to happen to his train through the carelessness of somebody else. So far as he himself was concerned he had a sublime faith in his own infallibility in such mat- ters, but he was continually worried about the possibility of some switchman carelessly leaving the switch open or some forgetful station agent giving him the wrong signal. I have no doubt there are hundreds of peo- ple ke my young friend In this world, who make their lives unhappy simply by worry. ing about a mistake they imagine somebody else is Hable to comm! Every now and then the newspapers in- dulge in a hue and cry against the drug- gists for encroaching upon what they call physicians’ territory,” said Henry C. Van Zant, a well-known pharmacist of Denver, at the Ebbitt House last night. “I could never understand why there should be an objection to druggists extending relief in cases of temporary indisposition, 1 know of no man in my profession of good stana- ing who would attempt to treat a person suffering from a serious disease without be- ing familiar with the most approved trea’ ment followed in such cases, 1 macist of intelligence and app of course, experience, has studying the various modes of treatment | followed by physicians, and his knowle of chemistry allows him to follow the least harmful system.
