Aims and Purposes of the World’s Congress Auxiliary. ‘The initial reunion of the World’s Con- gress Auxiliary was held at the Chicago Auditorium last night. The auxiliary was formed for the purpose of renewing: the friendships and reviewing the achieve- ments of the world’s congresses of 1893. It is also proposed to continue the work and extend the influence of the congresses. The meeting was called to order by C. C. Bonny of Chicago, who was the president of the congresses held during the fair. In his opening address Mr. Bonny dwelt at considerable length on the work ac- complished by the congresses in the past, ana spoke in confident terms of the good that they will do in the future, if. they only are carried on in the same manner as were the meetings of two years ago. Addresses of welcome were then made by Mrs. Charles Henrotin, Mrs. Elizabeth Boynten Hargert and Mrs. Caroline K. Sherman. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus of Chicago followed with en address on ‘The Ministry of Culture, Literature and Art.” Dr. Henry W. Rodge! of Northwestern University dwelt on igher Education and Good Government.” Mrs. J, M. Flower discussed the public schools and good government, and Professor Harper, president of Chicago University, spoke on “Higher Education and International Peace.” ‘A greeting from the orient was read by Professor S. Choyo, late of the University of Tokio. “The Religious Congresses of 1893, Crowned by the World’s Parliament of Re- ligions,” was discussed by Rev. Frank M. Bristol, Rabbi Hersch, Rev. L. P. Mer- cer, Rev. J. L. Jones and others. : “The Brotherhood of Science and Faith” was the subject of which Dr. Andrew Morrissey of Notre Dame University, Dr. J. M. Coulter of Lake Forest University and others spoke at some length. A num- ber of addresses were made by speak- ers not on the regular program, and let- ters of regret were read from Cardinal Gibbons, Prince Wolkonski and a number of clergymen who took part in the con- gresses of two years ago. *The platform of the auxiliary was set ferth by President Bonny: in his opening address, as follows: “We would make the social purity and the moral power of which woman is the divinely appointed represeniative as potent in public as it is in private life. We would exalt and establish all the useful industries of the world and crown them with blessings aid honors for. the services they render mankird.” Other objects of the auxiliary are to es- tablish just and equal relations between labor and capital, and provide for a system of co-operation between them. Similar meetings to that held last night are to be held for the same objects in other cities in countries which participated in the world’s fair congresses, apa arrangements have been made for the holding in Chicago in the near future of world’s congress ex- tension meetings in the departments of science, literature and religion. CLOSED IN CONFUSION. Exciting Sessions of the Legislature of Newfoundland. The sessions of both houses of the New- foundland legislature Monday night were stormy ones. In the upper house the final vote on the bill guaranteeing the Commer- cial Bank’s notes at twenty cents on the dollar resulted in a tie—five to flve—but the measure was passed by the chairman cast- ing his vote for it. Messrs. Thorburn and Angel, Whitewayites, bolted their party, which is now in power, amid the plaudits of the audience. In the lower house the government intro- duced a bill abolishing the four years’ dis- qualification for bribery and corruption, which renders ex-Premier—Whiteway and sixteen of his followers incapable of hold- ing office. The opposition obstructed the measure and the crowd present indulged in loud hissing of the speakers. The latter demand- ed that the galleries be cleared. The speak- er gave an order to this effect, but it was found impossibie to carry it out and finally the speaker had to summarily close the session. o*¢-——___ Think They Have the Murderers. The Cleveland police believe they ha’ the men who murdered Wm. H. Price, a prorainent citizen, three weeks ago while burglarizing his house on Hawthorne ave- nue. They give‘their names as Charles P. Benz, a coachman; Thomas Grant, a la- borer. J: Johnson, a carpenter, and Harry Gruninger, a small merchant, were also arrested. The names of none of them, ex- cept the last two, can be found in the city dir-ctory. Johnson, who was at one time a private detective and later a Detroit po- liceman, made a full statement of what he knows yesterday afternoon. He im- plicated Benz and Grant. They broke into the house and were surprised by Mr. Price, who awoke. Johnson says one of them shot and wounded Mr. Price, who still pressea them closely, whereat the two shot several bullets into him and killed him. The detectives will not yet reveal who Benz and Grant really are. ee The new justices of the supreme court of North Caro ina, William T. Faircloth, chief justice, and Walter Clark, David M. Fur- ches and Walter A. Montgomery, associate justices, were sworn in yesterday. THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1895-TEN PAGES. REFORMS NEEDED Gov. Morton’s Message to the New York Legislature. A CAPIROL THAT HAS COT MILLIONS —_>—___ Multiplicity of Expensive Com- missions. NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED ALBANY, N. Y., January 2.—Gov. Mor- ton’s inauguial message was laid before the legislature today. It opens with refer- ence to the legislation made necessary by the revised constitution, which, the mes- sage observes, demands the closest care that no hasty, incomplete or ill-advised measures be enacted. The finances of the state are in excellent condition. There is no state indebtedness whatever, while the permanent funds, in- cluding the United States deposit fund, ag- Gregate $9,210,304.30 of principal. The amount realized from the transfer tax (otherwise known as the inheritance tax) during the last fiscal year was 31,688,954.24, and from corporation and organization taxes, $1,796,640.87, making a total of $3,- 484,585.11. The income from both sources is below expectation. It is estimated that the transfer tax will not, for years to come, yield more than two million annually. The governor recommends the legislature to devise ways and means, if practicable, for the enlargement of the field of direct taxation. The fact that in the manage- ment of some of the state charitable insti- tutions expenditures are made before ap- propriations have been enacted to meet them is a condition of affairs that requires remedy. The governor points out the ne- cessity for a treasury surplus. He also calls attention to the need for the most rigid economy in the management of the different departments of the state govern- ment. From year to year, and especially during the past twelve or thirteen years, these expenses have grown until the burden is becoming grievous and unbearable. In- direct forms of levying taxes have been re- sorted to with the idea of relieving or shift- ing the burden of taxation. One great ex- travagance, he says, arises from the multi- plicity of “commissions,” which have in- creased so rapidly in number and expense since about the year 1880. “From an ex- penditure for the duties covered by the six ecmmissions of less than $4,000 in 1880, we have seen a growth from year to year until the cost of three commissions alone amounted last year to nearly a million and a quarter of dollars. Some of these commissions are unnecessary, and should be abolished. Some of them should be con- solidated with or made bureaus of correl- ative departments of the state govern- ment.” The governor notes that although about $21,500,000 has been expended upon the new capitol that structure is not yet completed. The people, he adds, are thoroughly tired of this seemingly endless drain upon the treasury. Governor Morton reviews the new consti- tution and specifically recommends legis- lation to give each provision effect. As to the greater New York, it is suggest- ed that a commission be at once created, to be composed of the most capable cit!- zens of the various localities interested and to be charged with the power and duty of framing a charter to be reported to the present legislature for the government of the new city. In the meantime, the gov- «rnor says, the duty is incumbent on the legislature, under the express will of the people of the metropolis, to give to the mayor of New York the requisite power of removal and appoimtment without wait- ing for the full details of the reform plan. The experience of several years has made it clear that the system of providing a separate ballot for each group of nomina- tions is cumbersome and unsatisfactory. The “blanket” ballot so called, which has been successfully used in many states of the Union, should, in the judgment of Gov- erner Morton, be adopted in New York without further delay. It is, moreover, the opinion of the governor that the use of the “blanket-paster’’ ballot should be at once prohibited, for through its instrumentality the purpose of the law has been to a large extent defeated. In the interest of the pure election attention is called to the fact that while sworn statements of ex- penses are required of candidates for of- fice, there is no provision for ascertaining the expenses of political committees. Fish Chosen Speaker. The state legislature met and organized today by the election of the republican cau- cus nominees. Hamilton Fish was chosen speaker of the house. The inaugural mes- sage of Gov. Morton was read in both the senate and house. In the state senate Mr. Lexow introduced a bill giving the power of removal to the mayor of New York and a bill to allow the mayor to give notice for hearings on all legislative bills relating to the city. Senator Raines introduced a blanket bal- lot biil. Gov. Morton nominated Alvah H. Doty of ‘New York for health officer of the port and he was immediately confirmed. Other appointments made and confirmed were G. W. Aldridge of Rochester, to be superintendent of public work; Charles Z. Lincoln of Little Valley, to be commission- er of statutory revision. The senate has ordered the printing of the Lexow committee testimony. It will make 5,000 pages. Mr. Conkling of New York introduced in the assembly a resolution authorizing the appointment of five members of the assem- bly to cet as a special committee, in con- junction with a senate special committee, investigating the “corruption and infamous crimes” disclosed by the Lexow committee in the New York police department. Both houses have adjourned until Wed- nesday evening. —__ ASSASSINATED THE GOVERNOR. Keported Death of a Turkish Offictal in Armenia. CONSTANTINOPLE, January 2.—It is repcrted that the governor of Bitlis, Tan- im Pasha,,who commanded the military operations in the Sassoun district, where go many outrages have been-reported, has been assassinated by an Armenian, who afterward committed suicide. The latest letters received here from Bit- Hs show that the Armenians of that dis- trict were exasperated at the conduct of the authorities and that they were ready for any violence. In regard to the disturbances at Ezin, in the district of Erzinghian, it is stated that the governor recently summoned the Ar- menian notables and informed them that the Kurds were planning an attack and advised the Armenians to take measures for their defense, as he did not have the Means to protect them. The Armenians consequently tried to obtain a supply of arms, which was difficult, owing to the conditicn of the country. According to a dispatch received here yesterday the Kurdish attack has already eccurred. The result is not known. No letters from Sivas, where fresh disturb- ances have been reported, have reached Constantinople for a fortnight, as the mail is being continually confiscated by the gov- ernment. Dispatches have to be sent in a roundabout way in order to insure de- livery. The porte continues to positively deny the atrocities reported from the Sassoun district, but the main facts are generally considered to have been established. The commission of inquiry was due to Icave Ezeroum yesterday. ‘The election of the Armenian patriarch Ismirlian has not yet been ratified by bul- letin. pee A A Big Athletic Contest Likely. , LONDON, January 2.—The Sporting Life says that it is quite probable that there wi be a big contest this summer between Ox- ford, CambriMfige, Yale and Harvard. The Sporting Life says: ‘“‘The Yankee (New York Athletic Club) challenge to the Lon- don Athletic Club is sportsmanlike in the extreme, showing plainly that real business and business only is meant.” sant Se Fire in the West Winfield, N. Y., post office Monday night spread to and destroyed several business houses, including the na- tional bank. The loss will amount to $35,000, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. To Investizate. G. Brown Goode,,assigtant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, has requested the Commissioners to investigate the as- sessment fcr a water main laid in the sub- division known ag Connecticut Avenue Heights levied upon, him, Vote of Thanks. S, 8S. Daish of the firm of S. S. Daish & Son writes to the Commissioners today, requesting that some one investigate the matter in regard to the Herdie Company’s scraping snow off 16th street, which, in Bis opinion, would result in the Commis- sioners giving to the Herdie Company a vote of thanks for thé part they have taken in providing a foot walk as well as @ carriageway on lUth ‘street and other streets. The facts, he says, are that every- dedy in that neighborhood has profited by the action of the Herdic Company, and they should have a vote of thanks as pub- lic benefactors. Repzir Damages. Messrs. H. Rozier Dulaney and A. Walton Fleming of 1320 F street northwest have written to the Commissioners, stating that they have received notice from the health department that water stands in the alley- way north of their building known as “The Grafton,” situated on the corner of Connecticut avenue and DeSales street nerthwest, and that the matter must be remedied. They say that the Electric Light Company in connecting their system tore up the asphalt and reiaid it so imperfectly that the water will not run off. They fur- ther state that they have notified the Electric Light Company of the receipt of the notice from the health department by them and have asked them to repair the alley, their reply being that they “do not recognize their right to instruct them as to their duties in the smatter.” They have requested that the Electric Light Company be required to repair the damagé they have done. 2 Not Eligible. Relative to the communication of Ellen Sheahzn of 720 Charlotte street, Kansas City, Mo., mother of gx-Policeman Daniel Sheahan, who was shof by a burglar on the night of December 23, 1886, while perform- ing his duty, which was referred to the pension board for report as to facts in the case, Maj. Moore, in his report to the Com- missioners upon the matter today, says: “x-Private Sheahan voluntarily resigned from the force, without making an appiica- tion for pension on the ground of disability, and he did not serve the length of tume required to make him eligibie for a Pension under the statute. The law pro- vides that pensions shall be pa:d to a po- liceman, his widow or children under six- teen years of age, and does not, therefore, apply to a dependent parent,” Petition Answered. Relative to the petition submitted” by Mr. George A. Prevost of 610 F street of the owners of the majority of the property in square 205 for the opening of a street through that square, Capt. Fiebeger, in his report to the Commissioners today, recom- mends that the petitioners be informed that the opening of this street cannot be taken up untli the opening of the street through square 69 is completed, as it will probably take the entire available appropri- ation to pay the awards for the opening of that street. Planting Trees. The Commissioners have approved the recommendation of the parking commis- sion of the District, of Columbia that the chain gang be employed to prepare holes for tree planting under-supervision of the parking commission on the following streets: D street from 6th to 15th streets southeast; 12th street southeast from Penn- sylvania avenue to Lincoln Park; Penns vania avenue southeast extended, and oth- er streets now ready for planting in East Washington, as has been done heretofore. ‘ : GENERAL NEWS NOTES. Ambassador Eustis’ New Year reception in Paris yesterday -was;attended by most members of the American colony and many diplomatists. Among those present were Thomas B. Ferguson, United States minis- ter to Sweden; Jules Oppert, member of the institute; Mrs. Sears, daughter of ex-Min- ister Colidge; Gen. Noyes and his nieces. The six inmates of the city jail at Pitts- burg, Kan., escaped Monday night by dig- ging through the wall of the corridor. They went to Litchficld, four miles away, and spent the night carousing. Five hired a carriage and returned yesterday morning. They demanded admittance to the jail to complete their sentences. They treated the matter as a joke. Seven hundred Slav laborers struck at the Edgar Thompson Steel works of the Carne- gie Steel Company, at Braddock, Pa., last night on account of a reduction in wages. The populist leaders of the state, about fifty in number, met in conference at Greensburg, Pa., vesterday afternoon. A resolution was adopted suggesting to Congress the establishment of a board of charities, with a cabinet official at its head, with national powers adequate for the prompt relief that calamities such as the ceuntry has lately been subjected to re- quire. Coxey’s idea of good roads and bonds was indorsed, as was Gov. Tillman's plan of dealing with the liquor traffic. A dispatch from Pekin says that Liu Kun Yi, the viceroy of Liang Kiang, who has been appointed as the head of the Chinese armies, is preparing to start for the front to assume supreme command of the troops. a ea To Revise Cuban Tariffs, The queen regent of Spain has signed a decree appointing a commission to revise the Cuban and Porto Rican tariffs. The commission is composed of members rep- resenting all the political parties in Cuba, and a number of Spanish colonial mer- chants trading with Cuba and officials of the ministry of the colonies. Her majesty has also decreed the appointment of a ! commission empowered to prevent evasion of the payment of taxes on taxable prop- erty and industries in Cuba. ‘he first business at the reopening of the cortes will be the discussion of the projected Cuban reforms, including the formation of an administrative chamber to sit in Havana.

Lincoln Post, No. 3, was first organized on the 28th of March, 1868, with sixteen charter members, with Col. Timothy Lubey as commander. It continued in existence until December, .1874, when it surrendered its charter, with a membership of twenty- two comrades. - In the summer of 1877 Comrade Samuel E. Thomason, past commander of the old post, revived Lincoln Post and its original number, “3.” At that time there were but three posts,in the Department of the Po- tomac, viz: Nos. 1, 2 and 6. On the 29th of September, 1877, the pres- ent post was formally reorganized and its officers elected, and Comrade Thomason was again its commander. The membership is now nearly 600, and the post is the largest, numerically, in the Department ot the Potomac. ——— THE COURTS. Equity Court Ne. 1—Judge Cox. Barbour agt.

Although the practice of New Year call- ing has virtuaily fallen into disfavor it is by no means a thing of the past on the east side. The young people there look forward to the first day ef the year with much pleasure and prepare for it in advance. The young girls save their pennies weeks Lefore in order that they can buy candy and cake and wine for their many friends. Tke young men, on the other hand, pro- vide themselves with most elaborate New Year cards for the occasion. The store windows along Avenue A are at present filled with a great display of various kinds of suct Seme contain all inanzer of , others again are made in imitation of playing cards, and the new is to have a small photograph of the caller in the corner of the card. Everybody on the east side makes a call. The young men usvaliy go in groups. Of ccurse each has zbout ten calls on the list, and the whele party never goes home until every Cait i anauc. Howeve s m the east side like a large party to cail at once, for it makes things the merrier. Invariably, one of the young men has his accordion or concertina with him, and, after the cakes and wine have been handed around, there is danc- and singing. = The merriment continues far into the right, and the singing of songs on the street is -heard long after midnight. But though there is naturally some_intoxica- ticn after so much indulgence in New Year wine there is seldom #ny disorder, and everything passes along merrily. Surely it will he many years before the east side looks with disfavor upon the prac- tice of New Year calling. insomnia Curcd by tle Electropoise. writes: “After Insomnia, whici Mr. P. A.
