Dead Hole Thinks They Should Be Open Part of the Day. DETROIT, Mich. November 21.—Very Rev. S. Reynolds Hole, dean of Rochester, England, and now lecturing in this coun- try, belleves in saloons being kept open part of the time on Sunday. In an inter- view he spcke on the subject’ thus: “While I cannot agree with the opinion of many that saloons should he open all day Sunday, I certainly think they should be open a part of that day. I don’t know to what extent your laboring people drink beer in this country, but the workingman England must have his beer with his junday din and I cannot see any wrong in that. So: say, ‘let him buy it on Sat- urday night,’ but he wants It fresh. The rich man can get his sod1, his brandy, his whisky, his wine, at his club on Sunday. Why must he have privileges the working man may-not have?” » “Therefore, I say, have a certain time before the customary dinner hour when he can get it as he wants it.” ———__. ROBBING GRAVEYARDS.

May Be I enced by Germany's Threats to Retaliate on Account - of the Sugar Duty. President Cleveland is himself likely to introduce the tariff question into Congress by a recommendation in his message that the discriminating duty of 1 cent. a. pqund upon all bounty-paid sugars imported into the United States shall be aboHshed by the repeal of that portion of the new tariff law. This will be done, nominally, because of complaints which have been received from the German government that these discriminations, if not in contravention of treaty obligations, are certainly likely to result in retaliation on the part of the Ger- man government. Republic: Not Likely to Assist. If the republicans, who have already ex- pressed themselves as to the financial policy of the administration, however, shall adhere to their views, and the rest vf the republican Senators shall be in accord with them, this recommendation of the Preai- dent will recetve no more consideration than the numerous popgun tariff bills which have been sent to the Senate by the House of Representatives. Senator Platt, in :he interview recently published in The Star, has already indicated that, in his Judgment, the republicans will not even assent to any change of the sugar schedule, objectionable as it is to them, in any of its features. ‘The reason is assigned that the tariff ques- tion cannot be opened at any one point, un- less the whole subject is brought up for con- sideration, and the republicans are deter- mined that tinkering with the tartff shalf not be permitted at this session. ‘The German Government's Threats. How influential the threats of retaliation by the German government may be re- mains to be seen. The opponents of a change in the sugar schedule have already been furnished with an adequate answer by a member of the administration. The Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Morton, who has just returned from Europe, and who has given the subject of retaliation careful consideration, has recently said that the threats of Germany tn this particular ought not to alarm the United States, for this government has it in its power to retaliate against Germany by a law already in ex- istence, and that all that it js necessary for the United States to do to retort uy Germany fer any avowed policy of -eta' tion for President Cleveland to issue his proclamation imposing discrimination against the products of Germany. Existing law gives the President authority for such course. ———__ + e+ THE DETROIT’S OFFICERS. Regret Their Reported Treatment. Senor Don Muruaga, the Spanish minis- ter at Washington, expresses surprise and regret at the cable reports from Madrid that the officers of the Detroit have been shabbily treated. The minister says any inattention must have been due to the recent cabinet crisis in Spain, which oc- curred about the time the Detroit arrived. At that time Premier Sagasta was select- ing new ministers, and the one chosen for colonial minister was absent In Parts. As the colonial minister would have charge of the formalities attending the reception of the Detroit his absence and the cabinet crisis would together account for any ap- parent inattention. Senor Muruaga is’ sat- istled, however, that the incident is pur- posely magnified for personal purposes by the conservative party aud. newspapers of at Spain, which is opposed to the govern- ment. The Count Casa Valencja.is a con- servative. The minister says Spatn has feit honored in having the United States send the Co- lumbian relics home in a man-of-war and that it has been the dedire of the govern- ment to show every coertesy: to the: ont REJECTED BY THE K.

While a motion to reconsider was perd- ing, the convention took a recess. => An Elmira Man Missing. SAN FRANCISCO, November 21,—Dantel Murpky, who came from Elmira, N. Y., six months ago, has been missing for five days. Murphy had a letter of Indorsement from J. Sloat Fassett. He seemed to be insane, and, fancying he was a millionaire, ordered thousands of dollars’ worth of Jewelry and other goods. ELMIRA, N. Y., November 21.—Daniel Murphy was formerly a well-known and well-to-do merchant of this place. He sold out his business here and went west two years ago. Since his arrival in California he has been arrested several times for financial irregularities. This, he claimed, was brought about by his ignorance of California laws. He is about sixty years of age, of a nervous temperament, and many of his friends here believe that his | mind has been more or less affected. He | has a wife and two daughters residing here and a son, who went to California with him. >— Repnirs Are Needed. Lieut. Mason, the officer in charge of the naval proving grounds at Indian Head, has made a report to the Navy Depart- ment on the condition of the grounds and the operations there during the past year. He says the water supply is very defect- ive, especially during the dry season, and that the sewerage and drainage system is far from what it ought to be. The maga- zines and filling house are falling into de- cay, he says, and should be rebuilt on a larger scale, of brick and fire-proof mate- rial. Lieut. Mason says that the various improvements and repairs needed at the station could be made for about $20,000, and he advised the expenditure of that sum, as being in the true interests of econ- omy. This would also permit the lighting of the station by electricity and its heat- ing by steam. —_————_ ++ uate Committee on Rules to Meet. Before the Senate adjourned last August a resolution was adopted authorizing the committee on rules to sit during. the recess for the consideration: of the various pro- posed amendments to the rules, but no session of this committee has so far been | held and Senator Blackburn, chairman of | the committee, said today that none would be held before the convening of Congress on the 3d proximo. He stated that it had been his purpose to call the committee to- gether on the 10th of the present month, but owing to the absence of Senator Ald- rich, the senior republican member of the committee, in Europe, he had not doue sa.

J, Shadd, John R. Francis, Daniel H. Will- iams, John C. Norwood, Thos. Martin and A. R. Watts has issved a call for “all mem- bers of the madical professton”in the Dis- trict of Columbia” to attend a meeting at the Freedmen’s Hospital this evening at 7:30 to consider the advisability and plans for the organization of a medical society in the District of Columbia. Bradley Brown, colored, a countryman, was fined $5 in the Police Court teday for selling a load of hay that had not been weighed on authorized scales. Me &. ~ r ‘+ 4 be THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, Sak ee Oe Vries MUST PAY IN GOLD A Bill Requiring a Percentage of the Revenues in That Coin. How It is Proposed to Keep the Gold Reserve From Being Depleted. It.is expected that very soon after the meeting of Congress a bill will be introduc- ed to provide that a certain percentage of the revenues cf the government (the exact rate not yet determined) shall be paid in gold. It is doubtful whether during the short session this measure.can be got through Congress, but a very determined effort will be made in that direction. It is universally appreciated that the issue of bonds is but a temporary means of replen- ishing the gold reserve, and that soon that will become an utterly ineffectual measure unless some plan is adopted by which the government can hold a considerable per- centage of the gold so acquired. Simply a Transfer of Gold. As the present policy operates an issue of bonds takes gold out of one of Uncle Sam's hands and puts it in the other, and part of the gold, and all eventually, which is raised on the bonds comes out of the hands of the goyernment. If the gold re- serve Is Increased to elghty or one hundred millions by the present issue of bonds, it is recognized that that will be but a tempor- ary condition, and it cannot be very long before the demands for gold will draw this out again in exchange for treasury notes. As long as the treasury notes are in the hands of bankers who are disposed to draw on the treasury for gold there is nothing to prevent the depletion of the reserve. Redeemed Notes Pat Out Again. The notes presented for redemption in gold are immediately put out again by the government in payment of ordinary obliga- tions, the current revenue being insufficient, and the same notes are again available to draw gold from the treasury. All are not at once presented for redemption, but a certain percentage of them come back in a steady stream of rotation, each time taking out some of the gold. The Scheme Proposed. The scheme proposed to compensate for | this in @ measure is to compel the payment | of such a portion of the revenues of the government in gold as to meet the ordi- nary demands of redemptions. Wheth- ther this plan wili work, even if its advocates succeed in enacting the law, is another question, since the guld for the payment of these taxes muy be first drawn from the treasury, as is part of the gold with which the bonds are pur- chased. The administration 1s in a dilem- ma, however, and the necessity of replen- ishing the gold reserve by other mean than the issue of bonds is recognized. MADE A MISTAKE. Mr. Horn's Deposit for a Contract May Be Returned. On June 2), 1894, Richard Horti and his son, Richard Horn, jr., entered into a con- tract with the District of Columbia for the cleaning of the streets and improved alleys in the District of Columbia. On the same day they accepted another proposal from the District for the purpose of clean- ing paved alleys upon the terms and con- ditions in the proposal set forth. The blank in the proposal left vacant to be filled with the amount of cents they should charge for cleaning 1,000 square yards was filled by Richard Horn, jr., at 30 cents per 1,000 square yards. He was instructed by Richard Horn, sr., to bid not less than 451-2 cents per 1,000 square yards. Upon ascertaining the action of his son in the matter, Mr. Horn, sr., appeared before Commissioner Ross and stated that his son had made a mistake, and that it would be impossible for anybody to perform such @ contract without great pecuniary loss. He informed Commissigner Ross that he would withdraw, and asked him to give the contract to the next lowest bidder. At the time he entered into contract with the District $200 was deposited by him with the collector of taxes, which amount he has requested the Commissioners to re- turn to him. The matter was referred to Mr. Thomas, attorney for the District, for his opinion. In his opinion rendered to the Commissioners today he says vIf the Commissioners are satisfled gn this point, and that Mr. Horn made a mis- take In filling in the price, 30 cents, speci- fled in his bid, and that his application is in good faith, they may return to him his $200, less the cost and expenses sustained ‘on account of his failure to enter into con- tract, ag required by the terms of the bidding.” ° + ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

Refore the Trial Board. Sergeant Daley was before the police trial board-again today. This time he ap- peared as @ witness in the case of Police- nien Klinger and Bruce, the officers who are, charged. with having entered James McCarthy's saloon on the 12th of this month, “In addition to this there is a sweeping charge that they were in other places where liquor is sold, but no particu- lar time or place is mentioned. The man who brought the charge is Mr. Sherburne G. Hopkins, the lawyer who recently appeared as counsel for another officer before the trial board. When the board met at the sixth pre- cinct station this morning Lieut. Vernon was acting captain in place of Capt. Aus- tin, Who is now acting chief of police. There was about the police station a large array of witnesses ‘in the case, in- cluding a.saloonkeeper, one of the dis- missed policemen and others. As the Investigation was conducted be- hind closed doors, and no reporters were admitted, the evidence in the case could not be obtained. It ts known, however, that the lawyer was in South Washington on the night in question, and was seen several times ‘by the officers charged, who claimed that he was “spotting” them. They denied the charge, and called other witnesses to disprove the allegations of the lawyer, and the officers’ friends seemed confident of their acquittal.

NO SPECIAL UNEASINESS Felt by the Steady Run on the’ Treasury Gold, k Report That Three Trust Companies ‘Will Take All the New Bonds, Pay- ing With Their Own Gold, . The steady run that has been made on the government gold since the 18th instant, when Secretary Carlisle issued his call for bond subscriptions, does not appear to cause any special uneasiness at the Treas- ury Department. The prediction is freely made at the department by persons on the inside that the loan will be over-subscrib- ed, and that the treasury gold balance jwill be materially increased in the trans- action. This apparent confidence of an in- creased gold reserve lends a strong color of probability to the report that comes from New York today to the effect that three trust companies, namely, the United States, the Union and the Farmers’ Loan, and the banking houses of Drexel, Morgan & Company, Speyer & Company, Kuhne, Loeb & Company and Brown Brothers & Company, will practically subscribe for the whole issue of the bonds at about 3 per-cent, that is, at 116.103, from Novem- ber 1,-with accrued interest. According to the story, they will bid individually, and thoy have already secured sufficient gold to make the first payment of 20 per cent on notice of the acceptance of their bids, It is also stated that the institutions named will furnish the bulk of the gold necessary to complete the purchase from their own vaults, without resource to the subtreasuries. Accounts for the Confidence. The existence of an understanding” of this character would clearly account for the confidence freely expressed at the Treas- ury Department in the entire success of the loan as a means of replenishing the gold balance. It is undisputed that Secretary Carlisle has control of the situation so far as the allotment of the bonds is concerned, and also that such allotments will be made -with the prime object of increasing the treasury’s stock of gold. Consequently miore favor will be shown to those bidders who propose to use their own, in prefer- ence to those who have drawn their gold from the treasury in exchange for legal tenders and treasury notes. This discrim- ination is almost certain to be made in cases where all the other conditions of the Didg, are equal. Time Will Expire Saturday. According to the terms of the treasury cireular, the time for the submission of proposals for the bonds will expire at noon ‘on Saturday, and proposals received after that hour will receive no consideration. Until that hour all the proposals will re- main sealed, and will be treated as confi- dential. They will be opened together at noon on Saturday, and will be immediately scheduled for the consideration and action of the Secretary. The allotments will not be announced, however, until Monday, and the successful subscribers will not receive official notice of the acceptance of their offers until Tuesday at the earliest. Con- sequently the first payment of 20 per cent will not have to be made until Tuesday. What Will Be Required of Bidders. According to the circular, “bidders whose Proposals are accepted will be required to pay 4 per cent in gold coin, or gold cer- Uficates, upon the amounts of their bids as soon as they receive notice of the ac- ceptance of such bids, and to pay in like coin or certificates an additional 20 per cent at the expiration of each ten days thereafter, until the whole 1s paid; but they may, at their option, pay the entire amount of their bids when notified of ac- ceptance, or at any Ume when an install- ment is payable. The first payment, how- ever, of not less than 4) per cent must be made when the bidder receives notice of the acceptance of his proposal.” ‘ Unusual Drain Today. If any gold was withdrawn from the subtreasury at New York today on account of the bond issue or for other purpose the Treasury Department had not been inform: ed of it up to 3 o'clock. This fact is taken to mean that there was no unusual de- mand for gold at New York today, inas- much as prompt notice is usually given of such transactions. It is possible, how- ever, that there may have been some calls for gold late in the afternoon and that the assistant treasurer awill not report it to the department until the close of business today. The totul gold withdrawal from the subtreasuries todate on account of the new loan is about $5,025,000, all of which was taken at New York, with the exception of $775,000, taken at Boston and else- where. AN EARLY SELECTION. T wht New Building Inspector Wi Be Chosen Tomorrow. The succeascr of the late Thomas B. Entwisle, inspector of buildings, will he named tomorrow, and there is little doubt felt that Jobn B. Brady will be the man. He ts the first assistant inspector of build- ings, and the civil service policy of the Commissioners would make him the most eligible man. For eleven years Mr. Brady has been first assistant inspector of build- ings, and is thorovghly familiar with the duties of the office. He is a practical archi- tect, and during his incifmbency has made the plans for a large majority of the pub- Ne school buildings. Commissioner Ross will return tomorrow, and then the matter will finally be decided) Mr. Fred Pilling today informed the Commissioners that his indorsements must not be considered as standing in the way of Mr. Brady's ap- pointment. A delegation of local builders called ypon the Commissioners today to urge upon them the appointment of Mr. Thomas J. King as inspecjor of buildings, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Ent- wisle. ‘The delegation consisted of Messrs. Thomas Norwood, first vice president of the builders’ exchange; Albert Stephan, second vice president; William C. Morri- son, treasurer, and J. W, Thomas of the builders’ exchange and A. L. Phillips of the Master Builders’ Association. They spoke in favor of the appointment of Mr. King, and as local builders heartily in- dorsed the recommendation for his ap- pointment as inspector of buildings of the District of Columbia. At a meeting of the Master Builders’ As- sociation of this city held last evening a resolution was unanimously «dopted in- dorsing Mr. King. —_—~— DISTRICT GOVERNM ENT. President of the Board, R. L. Lynch, secretary of the commis- sioners of pharmacy, has notified the Dis- trigt Commissioners that at the last meet- ing of the commissioners of pharmacy Dr. Jno. T. Winter of 1528 9th street north- west was clected president of the board. Against the Law. A short time ago Alexander Bliss wrote to the Commissioners, requesting permis- sion to remove a frame dwelling house in the rear of 2025 L street northwest and locate it on the adjoining lot adjacent to a 24-foot alley. The matter was referred to Building Inspector Entwisle at the time, but not feeling authorized to grant the request he did not consiijer the applica- tlon, on the ground that the building was located In an alley, which is in violation of the law. The matter was thereupon re- ferred to the attorney for the District by the Commissioners and he rendered an opinion today, advising the Commissioners that they have no authority under the law to permit the structure to be removed. Mr. Entwisle in his report to the Commis- sioners recommended the granting of the application if it did not conflict with the law in relation to building houses in. al- leys. Mr. Thomas, however, has advised that the application should be refused be- cause prohibited by law. A Resignation, The resignation of George L. Ready as an additional private of the metropolitan po- lice force for duty in the smallpox service has been accepted, and Mark Joseph ap- pointed, vice Ready, resigned, with com- pensation at the rate of $2 per diem, paya- ble from the emergency fund. oe Range of the Thermometer.

A. R. Men Have Not Been Treated Fairly—Has a List of Such Cases. Gen. Thomas G. Lawler, commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, 1g in the city for the purpose of laying be- fore President Cleveland the matter of al- leged injustice done veterans, their widows and orphans in dismissals from the public service, His visit to Washington follows out the line of policy mapped out at the National Encampment held at Pittsburg. The Grand Aimy claims that the law re- quiring a preference to be given the class of employes indicated has been flagrantly violated, more particularly in the Treasury and Interior Departments. The reporter of The Star called on Com- mander-in-Chief Lawler at the Ebbitt this afternoon. He was then in the midst of an informal reception tendsred him by De- partment Commander Bickford and staff. A handsome bouquet bearing the card of Manager Birch of the Ebbitt adorned the center table, and a box of fragrant Hava- nas filled a conspicuous place on the man- tel. Gen. Lawler said that he was accom- panied by Adjutant General Jones, and that this officer had-during the forenoon secn Secretary Thurber, and had arranged tor an intorview at 2:30. It was aot prob- able that they would meet the dent in person at that hour. Much depended on the outcome of the interview with Secre- tary Thurber. The indications were that if he saw the President at all It would not he till Friday. He had come on a strictly business mis- sion and without any violent intentions. He thought that the administration would lend an attentive ear to the desires of the Grand Army of the Republic. He thought that if the injustice to the members of that organization was pointed out to the President that justice would be done. He could not say whether he would bring the matter of the numerous specific cases which he had as evidence to the attention of the President. He would first talk over the subject in {ts general aspect. Much vould depend upon the manner in which this was received by the President. If nec- essaty he could cite a number of in- stances in which the law giving preference to ex-veterans, their widows and orphans had been violated. Quite a list of cases of this nature had been furnished him by the local posts In this department. This is about all that he would say in connec- tion with his visit. Commander-in-Chief Lawler ts a short, thick-ret fellow, of rotund build and robust manner, with a ruddy face and brown side whiskers. He has a firm grasp in his hand and enial way that commends him to his callers. ——_ + e -- —____ WILL ASK A REHEARING. St. Apaph’s Officials Will Not Defy the Jockey Club.

ASAPH’'S, Va., November 21.—The matter of the continuation of the meeting after December 1 1s still unsettled, the published statement this morning that the club had decided last night to cut loose from the National Turf Association and continue the meeting indefinitely being a mistake.

After a steady opening, in which several advances were reflected, prices were allowed to hang idly around first figures, pending Boston ad- vices relative to the action on Burlington's dividend, A report that the regular divi- dend of 1% per cent had been declared re- sulted in an advance of 1% per cent in the price of the stock before it was declared Premature and unofficial. Later advices conveyed the intelligence thi depleted earnings made it necessary to subtract 1 = cent from the usual rate, thereby re- jucing it to 4 per cent per annum, ral selling of the stock on this announcement resulted in a decline of 4 per cent from the best prices of the morning. The recent weekly reports foreshadowed this action provided the legitimate profits of the system were relied upon tu meet the disbursement, but it was feared that other funds would be drawn on in order to con- tinue the old rate. The action of the di- rectors in. limiting their liberality to the amount of the surplus earnings ‘will Tecelve thé'approval of all conservative stuckhold- ers and will justify a belief in the ability of the present management to promote the best interests of all concerned. Northwest, about which fears of a simi- lar erry fi have been entertained of late, declined 1 1-2 per cent on selling by the professional element. The lower-priced grangers were less active, but suffered corresponding losses. Jersey Central de- clined 1 1-4 per cent under bear operations and lowers prices are predicted as the re- sult of an unprofitable coal trad Sugar was bought i bid up by the same brokers interested in the recent ad- vance to #% 1-2. The probable declaration of the usual quarterly. dividend of 3 per cent two weeks hence is being used as the incentive to the present movement. Predictions are made that the stuck will approach very near to, {f it does not cross, r on this effort. Inside intrests are be- lieved to be united in this attempt to es- tablish a good working level in case the Senate act favorably on the free-sugar measure likely to be brought up promptly a the resumption of that body's delibera- ons. The foreign exchange market opened strong, with rates fully one-fourth higher than those reported yesterday. The cun- tinued absence of commercial bills, a good demand from remitters, and the higher rate of discount in London have combined to produce this result. Arbitrage houses are practically out of the market, owing to the limited volume of foreign busin oss. The last hour's trading was active and inclined toward irregularity. The Grangers were depressed to the lowest point of the day, and Sugar advanced to the highest during this period. Final figures reflected as losses for the day in a majority of in- stances, The C. B. and Q. Divided. BOSTON, Mass., November 21.—The reg- ular quarterly meeting of the directors cf the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail- road Company was held here today, and re- sulted in the declaration of a 1 per cent dividend, payable December 15, to stock- holders of record Saturday, November 24. ———— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL ‘The following are the ing, the high- est and the lowest and closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney; members New York stock exchange.
