THE. EVENING SPAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. motion and communication was declared to be less important than the ownership of the newspapers by the people. “Opinion,” said Miss Willard, “is manufactured by the newspaper just as scientifically as cloth is woven by the loom.”’ The editorial “we” she thought should be abolished and every writer stand on his own merits. The strongest thing that reformers could do would be to buy space in the great papers of the country in which to put their ideas before the great humanity that beats its life along the stony streets. It was urged that a committee be ap- inted by the convention to ascertain in jow many capitol buildings in the different states strong drink is sold, either covertly or openly. | ‘The personal statement was made that | any announcement indicating a lack of loyalty to the pledges assumed by our leaders’ is Mkely to be faise, in the future as in the past. “I have Hot turned populist,” said Miss Willard, “though I hope that populists and prohibitionists may be agreed and walk together before long; I am a teetotaler and expect to be one always. I am opposed to ynching at any time, and in any place, ind whethcr the person lynched is black, brown or white I believe his taking off to | be a crime against nature and against . God. It is my earnest desire and purpose to extend the work of organizing local W. C. T. Unions in the south. I am not a Unitarian, but a loyal Methodist, and, so far from favoring a union of church and state, as has been said, I have hardly made speech in twenty years in which this statement -of my views does not occur: | Christ shall yet reign in custom and in law, not ecclesiastically, but spiritually, not in form, but in fact; not in subStance, but in essence. And the organized love of | the White Ribbon women seeks to bring that day, for we believe that only the It was maintained that the call for com- pulsory arbitration resulting from the Pullman strike will, if it is but heeded, be worth to this country all that the strike cost, financially and every other way. The position taken by the labor unions in deploring the disposition of those in authority to increase and centralize the number of state and federal troops was heartily indorsed; and the declaration made that the W. C. T. U. has no fear of the working classes in this country, but be- jieves they are the bone and sinew of the nation, and will seek to better their condi- tion only by means of arbitration and the ballot box. Topics Discussed. On other topics Miss Willard said: “The practical method of relieving the labor market of the competition of women is to make their wages the same as the wages of men.” It was declared that the Boys’ Brigade, im so far as it fosters the military spirit and encourages the bearing of weapons, is @ retrogressive movement, and should not be encouraged by the home people. “The National W. C. T. U. had made a better showing in its aggregate member- ship and in the gifts received this year, than the last, which was a remarkable token of the vitality of the movement in a period of unequaled financial depression.” “A law is pending in Great Britain which cought to be duplicated here, by which in- dustrial homes for ‘alcholites’ are to be es- tablished by the gevernment. We are rapid- ly approaching the time when drunkenness will not longer be tolerated, for it is te- coming understood that the danger involv- ed in harboring the drunkard in the home ig as great as if he were a lunatic. The state must relieve the home of this intoler- able bondage, must relieve the drunkard from the overmastering temptation, and must set him at work to earn his own liv- ing. Every state W. C. T. U. was urged io petition the legislature for an appropria- tion to this end.” No Compromise. Miss Willard didn’t beltey mises. She said: “Half-way measures blur the straight Ime of ethical perception and set back movements that can only be carried to success by out and out methods. The W. Cc. T. U. is the old guard that never sur- renders. It is not beguiled by high license nor tax; by the Iowa mulct !aw, nor the South Carolina dispensary; by non-parti- sanism, nor the Scandinavian system. Any or all of these may serve the turn of poli- ticians or dim the vision of well-meaning, but non-expert workers; but we have learn- ed by the logic of defeat and the argu- ment of experience what not to do, which as lesson no less important than what to “It is idle to talk of personal liberty. The day is long gone by when that slogan could rally a corporal’s guard among the intelli- gent and thoughtful. The trend of social- istic thought, which makes the good of the community the prime factor in govern- tment, has so far outrunked the unbridled action of the individual, that in England no one is allowed to build a wooden house, in compro- nor is such permission granted in this | country within the fire limit of our large cities. In Germany, to cut down a tree is an offense against the state; permission must first be secured, because the value of the trees as a whole is greater to the people than the interest of any one person im any one tree. In France, so strong is the sease of beauty that ro one is allowed to make an alteration in his house til the plan has been passed upon by the authori- ties appointed by the city. It is of more importance that Paris, as a whole, should be beautiful than that the personal whim of any individval concerning the sort of doo= or window that he prefers should be considered. On the principle that every member of the social compact must be Protected from possible injury by any mem- ber is based the rationale of every law on any statute book.” The loss of several leading workers was feelingly referred to In the address, that of Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge, corresponding secretary of the society, being specially dwelt upon. In conclusion, Miss Willard said: “I remember that no one subject puzzled or vexed me more in my youthful days than why it was that men could range toe whole world at their will, and then have the home beside, while women did not have the world, but the home only. I.did not think this fair, and never have and never shall, and I think those early broodings over the subject helped to determine my Yoeation, for i resolved to ouild in my life to help make the world so homelike that Women could freely go out into it every- where, side by side with men, and also to help bring it about that men should share in larger measure than they have ever yet done in the hallowed ministrations of the fireside and the cradleside, through whic! as I believe, they are to reach their hig est and holiest development.” Applause for Miss Willard. In the course of her address Miss Wil- lard referred to the Non-partisan W. C. T. U. ond sent It greetings with the wish that the two great bodies may come together. This expression was indorsed by the con- vention with hearty applause. Again when Miss Willard spoke of the Genouncement of a Breckinridge and the dethronement of a Tammany tiger, the ap- Plause was tremendonrs. The mere mention of Lady Henry Som- erset evoked a storm of applause. After a rising vote of thanks to Miss Wil- lard, Mrs. Alice Harris, national s' jperin- tendent of music, sang the verses “Throw Out the Life Line,” the audience joining in the chorus. ‘Then numerous cablegrams and telegrams of creeting were read by the secretary. Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, recording secre- tary, presented her report. Corresponding Secretary's Report. “The National Women’s Christian Tem- peranice Union has great cause for thanks- giving in this year of grace that brings us to our majority.

BAPTISTS ADJOURN. Close of the Convention Held at Alex- andria. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 16.—The session of the Baptist Association opened this morning with greatly reduced attend- ance. ‘The committee on new boards made a report recommending Mrs. A. M. Gathaway as president and Miss Daisy Hudson as secretary of the woman's cen- tral committee. ‘he report was adopted. A special prayer was offered by the as- sociation for the meeting now in session at the Southern Baptist University at Louisville. ‘The report of the committee on educa- tion was read by Rev. John Hart and adopted. A resolution was adopted recit- ing the fact that large sums of public money had been appropriated for sectarian schools and protesting against any fur- ther appropriation of this sort, and asking Congress to discontinue the entire con- tract system and substitute national pub- tic schools in which Indians may be prop- erly trained for American citizenship. Rey. Fields Cook, pastor of one of the colored churches in this city, delivered an address. é The hymn, “God Be With You Till We Meet Again,” was sung as Rev. Mr. Cook descended from the platform.

CHICAGO, November 16.—A meeting of base ball players and magnates was held at the Grand Pacific today for the purpose of forming a new American association. Those present were Messrs. Becannon of New York, Barnie of Brooklyn, Kames and Richter of Philadelphia, Quinn of Mil- waukee and Peffer of Chicago. Fred Pef- fer said that the convention would probably last several days, but all of those present refused to talk of the project. The meeting today was behind closed doors, and great effort was made to prevent any hint of the deliberations betng made public. NEW YORK, November 16—The pro- posed American Association was diycussed by the base ball league magnate this /ore- noon. President Young told the reporters that there was little probability of the or- ganization of assuciation clubs in cities where there were already league clubs. Mr. Young also sald that the meeting was considering the contracts of some players, which would soon run out, where the players had signified an intention of join- ing the new assoviation should it be form- ed. Mr. Young said that these players would be disciplined. Sake cageecaeciok FOUGHT FOR THEIR HOUSES.

BANDITS ESTABLISH A REIGN OF TERROR : Pel Organized Bands Plunder and Mur- der at Will. MARSHAL’S POWER WEAK Se SS LITTLE ROCK, Ark, November 16.—In the opinion of Maj. C. B. Mcore, a promi- nent attorney of this city, who has just re- turned from a trip to the Indian territory, where Bandit Bill Cock and his reckk followers hold sway, the situation in the territory is indescribable. There is practi- cally no such thing as the enforcement of the law, and the bandits are virtually un- molested in their appalling depredations. Maj. Moore spent several days at Musco- | gee and Fort Gibson, and he says the busi- ness men and property owners there are panic stricken at the complete commercial paralysis resultant from the reign of law- lessness. Not half of the crimes committed find space in the newspapers; in fact, the half has aot Leen told of the terrible condi- tion of affai Organized gangs go from place to place, plundering right and left, and adding mur- der to their category of crimes when re- sistanee ts offered to them. Marshal Cremp and his men are sparing ro efforts to protest property and life, but they seem to be powerless to check the sway of the bandits. Maj. Moore says the situation is growing werse all the tims. Crime is congenial to a heavy percentage of the territory population, hence there is, of course, strong opposition from a certain ecntingent to a change in the present cor- duet of things. The Vv Educator Away Calmly and Trastfall erable Passing PRINCETON, N. J., November 16.—Dr. James McCosh passed a quiet night, but is gredually sinking, and has not long to live. Professor Hunt offered prayer for tha venerable doctor at morning chapel, after which Dr. Francis Patton made =: few re- marks, in the covrse of which he said: “Dr. McCosh is suffering no physical pain, but is dying of weakness resulting from cld age. The doctor is very low, and in all human probability will not lite throughout the day. He approaches the gates of heav- en calm and peaceful, with Christan forti- tude and an unshaken faith.” This afternoon it was reported at the house that Dr. McCosh was gradually sink- ing. Dr. Wykoff, the family physician, is in constant attendance. Andrew McCosh, the son of Dr. McCosh, is by his father’s bedside. THE ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR. Expected to Be Made Yesterday or ‘Today.

A number of applications have been made of late for a sewer to be constructed under the assessment system in alley in sqvare 38, Georgetown. Today Capt. Beach, in his retcrt to the Commissieners, says that the sewer cannot be constructed, for the reason that the health officer Is unable to certify that this sewer is necessary fo> public health, safety or comfort, and for further reasons that the owners of the bal- ance of the property, which would be as- sessed for this sewer, object to its con- struction under the assessment system. Continuing in his report, he says: “This sewer is under the provisional schedule of sewers to be built during the fiscal year 1846, provided Congress appropriates funds sufficient, but can be constructed without delay, provided the applicants deposit with the collector of taxes of the District of Columbia the sum of one-half the es- timated cost of sew Infected Animals to Be Killed. The chief of the bureau of animal in- dustries recently made an inspection of the herd of cattle at the Washington Asy- lum and found that nine of them had tuberculcsis. He recommended that they be slaughtered at once and the stable inspected. The bureau allowed $150 for the cows destroyed. The slaughter of these animals was found necessary for the fol- | lowing reasons: There was danger of.the | attendants contracting tuberculosis from inhaiing the dust of the stable. There is danger to the consumers of milk,because al- though the instructions are to boil this milk before using there is always a possibility that careless help may not carry out these instructions in all cases. New animals breught into the stable while the diseased ones are there will contract the disease, and in that manner it wil be kept up in- definitely. It is not consistent to require individual owners to maintain -heir herds in a healthy condition while herds belong- ing to the District are in such a deplorable ecndition. The Commissioners in acting upon the recommendation issued an order for the killing of the animals.

The Commissioners recently promulgated an order for the opening of a minor street through square 69 pursuant to the act of Congress providing for the opening of al- leys. ‘The Commissioners were in doubt as to the proper proceedings to take in the matter and they have requested their at- torney to pass upon the matter. This he has done, saying: Having satisficd yourselves that the petition for the opening of this street has been ‘signed by more than one-half of the owners of real esiate in the Square, the next thing to do is to have the surveyor for the District distinctly mark off the proposed street, in the manner in which it is designated in the petition, and make duplicate plats of the square, showing the streets, its course and the quantity of land in square feet which may be taken from the lot or parts of lot in the square by opening the street. The next step, in the event you close an alley, or alleys in the square, which are rendered useless or unnecessary, and the fee of which is in the United States, is to enter Into an agrey ment with the owners of the lots or parts of lots contiguous: to such alleys for the purchase by them of the land contained in said alley to be closed, at a price to be agreed upon by the Commissioners and the sald owners, which price shall not be les: than the assessed value per square foot of the contiguous lots. This agreement is to be in duplicate, one of which is to be filed in the office of the recorder of deeds and the other in the office of the Commission- ers. The law provides that the sum agreed to be paid by owners shall be assessed severally against the lots or parts of lots to which the land so purchased shall be annexed, and that the assessment shall bear Interest ‘at the rate of 10 per cent per annum until paid, and shall be col- lected as other taxeg are collected. The next step is to make the application in writing to the marshal of the District to summon a jury of twelve citizens, who have no interest ia-the matter, to ascer- tain and appraise the damages which may accrue to the property of any person or persons by the opering of the street. The verdict of the juryimwhen returned to the Commissioners ts the basis of assessment, end it is then your duty to prepare assess- ments and place them upon record, and proceed to collect them as other taxes are collected.” SERIOUSHY INJURED. ic way owit in Front of a Street 1 Gar.

There was one suspicious case of small pox reported to the health office this morn- ing, but whether or not it is genuine is not yet known. Dr. Woodward stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that he feels con- fident that the threatened contagion has been stamped out. He bases this opinion on the fact that the period for possible in- cubation from the cases that developed about two weeks ago has passed. The only sources of danger, according to Dr. Wood- ward, are the Drayer and Williams cases, those patients being ensconsed in private houses, not in the hospital.

OUTSIDE INVESTORS NOT DRAWN IN Manhattan the Feature of the Railways. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS od Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 16.—The profes- sional element was practically unassisted in its efforts to make values in today’s stock market. The day's trading was, therefore, void of any significant feature and lacked purpose. The occasional cover- ing of short contracts marked prices up fractionally from an irregular opening, but attracted no new business.. The loaning rate on nearly all active stocks 1s all that stands between the aggressiveness of the bear party and lower prices. The street has been disappointed in its efforts to at- tract the attention of outside investors, and the unfavorable comparison between pres- ent prices and those of a week ago is directly attributable to this cause. The after-election flurry was unwarranted by actual conditions and the investment public was not to be deceived into purchasing stocks from pools at advances resulting from manipulation and sentiment. When intrinsic merit can be pointed to as the bas for improvement in stock values the much needed outside support will not be longer withheld. This improvement musty of necessity, be gradual, and all sudden movements can be relied upon as a device of the present controlling element to tempt the unwary. Menhattan was again the feature of the railway lists, selling down 1 3-4 per cent on turth: atiacks from the bear element, identified with all recent movements in thi property. The inroads into the company’ earnings, resulting from surfece ccmp.c- tion and the supposed liquidation of long stock, are the arguments used by the sell- ing party. Purchases of stock at the de- cline have been made by strong interest: who rarely act unadvisedly in such mai ters. Jersey Central was marked up 1 per cent on Jovering, as was also Delaware and Hudson. The coal situation has not chang- ed, and the cutlook for a profitable winter business is far from encouraging. Sugar sold down 5-8 per cent at the open- ing, but rallied on later purchases for an advance of 1 per cent. The bearish feeling in this stock, growing out of the probable action of Congress, is not abated. American Tobacco sold down 31-4 per cent under a@ bear attack, and Chicago Gas re- acted 5-8 per cent from a similar move- ment. The market for foreign exchange opened firm with rates fully 1-82 in advance of those quoted yesterday. A fair demand from both bankers and importers is reported. . Rumors of gold imports were characterized as preposterous by bankers, as the move- ment of gold from the other side could only be conducted at a loss of nearly 3 per cent to the local importer. The week's operations at the subtreasury have resulted in a gain of nearly $750,000 to the banks, and a slight gain is also ex- pected to result from the interior cur- rency movement. The shipments of cur- rency have been principally to southern points. The market rallied during the last hour from previous low prices, afid the pres- sure to sell stocks was materially lessened.
