Probably 20 large sale of merchandise fn the last five years has attracted such Widespread attention as the 60-day im- provement sale of Bradbury Pianos— the circumstances are unusual—it is unusual for fine Pianos to be sold at such low prices, but the great and primary necessity of moving every in- strument in stock before February Ist, even if only the bare cost of manufac- ture is realized, is paramount to all other considerations.

TELEGRAMS TO THE STAR THE ARMENIAN COMMISSION. Another Constantinople Report Re- warding the President’s Intentions. CONSTANTINOPLE, December 18.—It is now stated that President Cleveland will after all accede to the Porte’s request to send a delegate with the commission, pointed to inquire into the stories of cities upon the part of Turkish soldiery in Armenia. The sittings of the commission will probably be held at Moosn. VIENNA, December 18.—It is reported that the sultan is contemplating inviting the signatory powers of the Berlin treaty | to send delegates to Kurdistan for a period of five years, in order to superintend the introduction of reforms there. This idea is stated to have originated at the recent council of ministers held at Constantinople. No Change, Says Secretary Gresham. Secretary Gresham said this afternoon to a Star reporter that there had been no change whatever in the policy of this gov- ernment in regard to the Armenian affair, and that Consul Jewett would investigate the recent outrages unless, he is prevent- ed from so doing by Turkish authority. enna Cath nb REFUSED THE APPROPRIATION. Chicago Councilmen Not United for a Lexow Investigation. CHICAGO, December 18.—The city coun- cil last night, by a vote of 41 to 24 (not the necessary two-thirds), refused to pass Al- derman Kerr's resolution appropriating $3,000 for an investigation similar in char- acter and scope to that of the Lexow com- mittee of New York. The resolution goes to the committee on judiciary under the rules, ——._— WILL PROSECUTE LIEBKNECHT. Action to Be Taken Against the Ger- man Socialis BERLIN, December 18.%he Prussian diet has been summoned to meet on Jan- uary 8. The government intends, after the close of the session, to, prosecute Herr Liebknecht, the socialist” member of the reichstag, who took such a prominent part in the demonstration against the emperor upon the occasion of the opening of the reichstag. —_———-.—— BRISSON ELECTED. ‘The Former Premier Chosen President of the French Deputies. PARIS, December 18.—M. Brisson, who was prime minister on the fall of M. Jules Ferry, in 1885, was elected president of the chamber of deputies, in succession of the late M. Burdeau, today by a vote of 249 to 213 cast for M. Meline, the French protec- tionist leader. —__—> PRESIDENT ST. JOHN’S POSITION. He Favors Free Coinage of Silver Regardless of Other Nations. NEW YORK, December 18.—William P. St. John, president of the Mercantile Na- ticral Bank of this city, writes to the As- sociated Press today as follows: “Will you please correct the impression, widely disseminated, that I advocate bi- metallism by concert of laws? On the con- trary, I advocate, urgently, unlimited coin- age for our present standard silver dol- lar, without the least regard to other na- tions’ coinage laws.” SALT LAKE, Utah, December 18.—The president of the Salt Lake clearing house has sent the following telegram to W. P. St. John of the Mercantile Bank of New York: “The bankers of Salt Lake, through the clearing house, heartily indorse your finan- cial views in favor of the resumption of silver coinage, as expressed before the con- gressional committee on banking and cur- rency, and believe their adoption in form of law would check the ruinous decline of values, the paralysis of business, and re- store universal prosperity.” —— a WILL SINK OR SWIM. Naval Experts Cor lete Pla: Submarine Torpedo Boat. The board of naval bureau chiefs has practically completed the plens for a sub- marine torpedo boat of the Holland type. The construction bureau has been engaged in gathering data to show what the thick- ness of the shell of the craft should be to resist the explosive effect of the torpedoes discharged at short range. In this connec- tion recourse was had to the old Lay tor- pedo shell, which was used in the Newport experiments about a year ago. It was found that the shell bore the force of the explosion very weil until the range was brought within eighty feet from the torpedo, when it began to show signs of disruption, being severely battered. As this shell is scarcely thicker than ordinary tin plate, the constructors estimate that the shell of the submarine boat—which must be about half an inch thick to with- stand the water pressure at considerable depths, will be amply strong enough to resist the explosion of a torpedo at very short range. These facts will be laid be- fore Secretary Herbert, who is expected to thereupon issue the necessary orders for the building of the boat. PSS CERES Se DEBS WILL NOT APPEAL. He Will Take the Penalty Imposed by Judge Woods, CHICAGO, December 18—Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway Union, and his colleagues, have decided to take, without appeal, the penalty im- posed by Judge Woods, for contempt of court, in ignoring the court's injunction against the strike lgst summer. They will go to the Cook county jail next Monday. The officials reached this decision today without the advice of their attorneys, and their decision is positive. Debs says an appeal would be probably of no avail. The worry and expense were also considered. THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY. Postponement of Action by the Em- ployes Until February Next. The consideration of the grievances of the employes of the Southern railroad was indefinitely postpored today by mutual agreement of the representatives of the roa@ and the employes. The delegates were in session behind locked doors all day. The conference between Vice President Baldwin of the system and the ‘full com- mittee of over two-score representatives of the conductors, engineers and firemen was held during the forenoon, and lasted over an hour and a half. The vice president said that at present the condition of the road would not war- rant the concessions the delegates wanted. He was not in readiness, he said, to discuss the matter now, but pledged himself to meet the men on or before February 13 next and endeavor to adjust the differences and enter into an agreement regarding the new contracts, new schedules and rates of pay that would be satisfactory to the road and the men alike. The proposition was accepted by the delegates, and they agreed to defer proceedings until the time agreed upen, The conference was brought to an end late in the afternoon, and all but Grand Chief Conductor E. E. Clark and several cf the other delegates immediately lefi .for their homes to resume work. Dr. Browne's Denth, At a meeting of the directors of the American Security and Trust Company resolutions were unanimously adopted ex- pressing the deep sensibility with which the members had heard the announce- ment of the death of their late colleague, Surgeon General Browne of the ne whose fidelity to duty and high charact had won for him their profound respec They extended their sincere sympathy to the family of the deceased and provided that a copy of the memorial resolution be submitted to Gen, Browne's widow. —_— Her Will Filed. The will of the late Bridget Ann Cowan, dated July 8, 1893, was filed today, ard makes her niece, Mary Sweeney, the sole beneficiary thereunder, DISTRICT. GOVERNMENT. An Appeal. The trustees of the Hope and Charity Temple, which was condemned as unsafo and ordered to be torn down by Building Inspector Brady, called upen the Commis- sioners this morning and appealed from the decision of the building inspector. They requested the appointment of a committee to examine the condition of the building. They Complain. A large number of residents and prop- erty owners residing on the Anacostia road between Deanwood station and the Balti- more and Potomac railroad and the Dis- trict line have joined in a petition to the Commissioners protesting against the man- |mec in which the Anacostia road is being repaired. The petition states that the sur- face of the road being much worn and cut in many holes, ts now being filled in in many places with the sand and sod from the rcadside and in other places by gravel; th> smaller holes receiving no attention whatever. They have called the attention of the Commissioners to the condition of the road, believing that the Commissioners did not give authority to make such repairs as are being made, and they do not fecl that such slipshod methods are either chargeable to the Commissioners or to them. They have requested an early in- apecticn of the repairs to justify their as- sertions. Public School Changes. J. G. Falck, secretary to the board of schocl trustzes, nas reported to the Com- missicners the following changes affecting the pay rolls of the public schools of the District of Columbia: Second division B—A. P, Cunningham, Janitor, Madison School, services dispensed with. division—For J. P. anaes Fourth teacher, reduced from $550 to $4) $515. to’ 475, and promote Minnie Harpe teacher, from $475 to $575 per annum. High ‘School (seventh and eighth divi- sions)—J. L. Love appointed teacher at $750 per annum, vice M. C. Terrell, tempor- ary at the same salary. New York Avenue. Relative to the complaint of Poundmas- ter Einstein that New York avenue, lead- ing to the pound, from 224 to 28d streets, is almost impassable, Health Officer Wood- ward, in hig repogt to the Commissioners, recommends that for the convenience of the public, as well as the employes of that office, steps be taken to at least put a foot- walk from the nearest paved street to the pound. Condition of Pavement. Herry M. Earle of 1405 F street north- west has addressed a communication to the Commissioners relative to the condition of the pavement on the west side of 14th street betwee F and G streets. He states that after each rain a pool of water stands for several days at the northwest corner of 14th and F streets. The matter has been referred to the engineer department for examination and report. Permanent Private. G. W. Kettlet, having satisfactorily serv- ed his probationary term, has been ap- pointed a permanent private in the Dis- trict of Columbia fire department. Dangerous Building. Building Inspector Brady has condemned the Law and Charity Temple on the south side of B street between ist and Dela- were avenue, and ordered it vacated within five days and torn down. From the per sonal inspection of the building Brady says he found the east and west wall so far out cf a true perpendicular as to make the building dangerous for oc- ctpancy as well as dangerous to pedes- trians passing adjacent. to the building. , Not Eligible. Application for registration was recently made to the health officer by a graduate of the American Health University of Chi= cago. The application was denied by the health officer pending an opinion from the attorney for the District. The latter holds that in view of the fact that the applicant ‘eceived a degree not recognized by the state board of health of Chicago he is not eligible for registration. Private Stables. Building Inspector Brady has recom- mended to the Commissioners that an amendment to the building regulations relative to the locatio. of private stables be made so aw to forbid a private stable from being erected within twenty feet of eny dwelling fronting a street or avenue, except the dwelling of the owner of such stable, nor within twenty feet of any buildings other than those used for me- chanical or storage purposes, and pro- hibiting the erection of a private stable within six feet of the building line of any street or avenue, if door openings are de- signed to be placed on the street or avenue front. A Sewer Wanted. Property owners in square 937 have sent a petition to the Comimissioners praying that a sewer and water main be laid on the north side of D street between 9th and 10th streets northeast. Mr. Dismer Must Move His House. Mr. S. T. Thomas, attorney for the Dis- trict, has rendered an important opinion to the Commissioners in the matter of the alleged encroachment of Mr. Dismer’s house on an alley in square north of square 508. He says that the alley in question is a public one and the encroachment of Mr. Dismer’s building upon it gives him no title to that portion covered by his buiid- ing, which he should be required to move. Brewers May Sell Beer on Sunday. The attorney for the District having re- considered the question whether brewers may be prosecuted for selling beer on Sunday, not to be drunk on the premises, in an opinion te the Commissioners holds that no prosecution can be maintained against a brewer who sells the product of his own manufacture ‘n original packages on Sunday, not to be drunk on the prem- ises. By section 6 of the act of March 8, 1888, regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, it is provided that “on Sundays every bar room and other place where in- toxicating liquors dre sold shall be kept closed, snd no intoxicating liquors shall be sold.” Sections 12 and 13, which im- pose penalties for the infraction of this statute, are limited to the case of those who engage in the sale of intoxicating liquors and who are required to have a license, without having first obtained a ll- cense, and to persons who having obtained a license to sell liquor violate the terms and conditions of their licease. Wants a Reference. Mrs. E. C. Raymond of 706 i7th street northeast, who recently complained to the Commissioners regarding the assessment of the alley corner of lot 23, block 30, Rose- dale, upon 91 feet of side irstead of its 20 feet of front, writes to the Commissioners, stating that she has taken legal advice in the matter. In her letter she says that the law requiring the assessment upon the fronts of all corner lots is so clear and concise that the assessment upon the side of the lot is an imposition, the enforce- ment of which no honorable person would insist upon. She insists that as she is en- titled to the courtesy and wisdom of the district attorney's opinion as to whether an excess of 91 feet can be assessed upon its side when that excess forms a corner only 20 feet wide upon its front, that the matter be referred to him. For Investigation. F. L. Campbell of 1439 Howard avenue, Mt. Pleasant, writes to the Commissioners calling attention to the urgent necessity of the construction of catch basins at the corners of the streets in Mount Pleasant and also the laying of flagging across gutters at the intersection of all streets. In his letter to the Commissioners today he seys that at a recent meeting of the Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Association, as chairman of the committee on streets and sidewalks, he was requested to present to the Commissioners and urge upon them the urgent necessity of these improve- ments. His letter has been referred to the engineer dey nt for investigation and report. Work Ordered. ‘The Commissioners have made the fol- lowing orders for work: ‘That order of July 30, 1894, for laying a water main in E street northeast and in 15th street northeast be amended so as to include fireplugs. That a sewer be constructed in O street between 33d and 34th streets, Georgetown, under the provisions of the permit system.

RESIGNATION CALLED FOR. School Trustee Bowen Asked to Step Down. ‘The Commissioners this afternoon uske@ for the resignation of Mr. Paul T. Bowen, trustee of the public schools for the second division. This action of the Commissioners was prompted by the speech made by Mr, Bowen at a recent meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association, in which Mr. Bowen was reported as having said, if discussing the subcommittee on appropria- tions of the District of Colum>ia of the House cf Representatives: “The haphhzard and indifferent way in which the contractors’ business is con- ducted, and the pomposity and egotism of their manner is enough to arouse any man’ dignation.” The Commissioners as soon as their tention was called to the matter wrote a letter to Mr. Bowen and asked for a state- ment from him upon the matter. In. ny 4 to this letter Mr, Bowen said: e language quoted in your letter of the Tien instant is substantially accurate. “It was used, however, conveying my im- pressions, acquired through considerable experience, of the general methods and manners of congressional committees be- fore whom citizens of the District seek to advocate measures for the public and to draw a comparison with what might be expected if such citizens had to deal with representatives elected by and responsible to the people of the District.” pS Ak a DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, “ae Restoring Printers’ Wages.

Since then an increase has been made in the wi of everyone except printers and bookbinders, and the abolition of piece work limits their wages. A Trunk Sewer to Brookland.
