Mission to Be Establish- ed in Other Cities. For some time a plan has been under consideration for an organization to pro- mote evangelization and plant missions in other cities, patterned after the Central Unien Mission of this city. Among promi- nent progressive men the Central Union Mission is regarded as a model, and many persons from other cities have urged that its work be nationalized. Rev. John C. Collins, secretary of the International Christian Workers’ committee, has always held that the great work done in this city should be systematically extended to other cities. Before Mr. Moody came here last winter representatives of the board of directors of the mission conferred with Dr. Josiah Strong, secretary of the Evangelical Alli- ance; Dr. “Louis Klopsch, editor of the Christian Herald, and others in regard to the advisability of organizing a nationa’ evangelistic society on non-sectarian lines. ‘The plan met with hearty approval. Or. Klopsch bas expressed a willingness to be- come personally identified with the associa- tion as a charter member. Since that time individual consultations have been held to fcrmulate plans. The Directors Chosen. Last Thursday a conference was held at the Central Union Mission and an organiza- tion was effected, to be known as the Na- tional Gospel Mission Union. The constitu- tion as adopted provides for a society com- posed of members from all parts of the country, the management to be vested in a board of directors not to exceed thirty in number. Thirteen members of the board were chosen, representing eleven states and two from the District. The directors chosen are: E. D. Bailey of Massachusetts, chairman; Geo. W. Wheeler of New Jersey, secretary; Dr. J. C. Car- penter of Ohio, treasure A. Robbins of Maine, Dr. Louis Klopsch of New York, A. L Swartwout of Illinois, Maj. Geo. A. Hil- ten of California, A. S. Pratt of the District Columbia; O. B. Brown of lowa, P. S. ter of Maryland, Rev. J, D. Smith of the rict of Columbia, Geo. W. Havell of Tennessee and W. C. Tyler of Connecticut. The other places were left open to be filled hereafter, as the work develops. The executive committee of the board will be ccmposed of men in this city, who can ceme together frequently. The headquar- ters have been established at the Central Union Mission. The union starts with nine evangelists in its membership, and it is expected that many others will identify themselves with the organization. Rev. J. D. Smith was chosen corresponding secre- tary and placed in charge of the office cor- respondence, while Maj. Geo. A. Hilton was elected superintendent and charged with the task of looking after the establishing of missions and the sending forth of union agents and workers. With the Churches. Scme funds will be needed for incidental expenses, and as fast as the income will warrant evangelists will be commissioned and sent out. Most of the missionaries and missicns will draw their support from the communities where they are located or where they labor. In no case will they be permitted to antagonize churches, but they will follow the spirit and method of the Central Unien Mission in co-operating with the churches and seeking to aid them in their work. A training institute is to be es'ablished in this city to prepare young men and young women for rescue work. It is expected that pastors of the city churehes will aid in instructing the classes. e students are to be given instruction 23 es as well as in bible studies they may minister to beth the phys spiritual wants of the people. A gift has becn tendered the Central Union Mission of a small tract of land near this city, and it has been suggested that a summer train- ing scool be established there, but as yet th s is only a suggestion. The promoters of this national evangelization movement are very hopeful that it may prove to be a strong and healthy agency in Christianiz- i he country. The constitution has been drawn with a view to international work if the way should open. i Jackson Day Celebration. ‘The eightieth anniversary of the battle of New Orleans (Jackson day) will be cel2- brated tonight by the Interstate Demo- cratic Club with a musical and literary entertainment at Nationu Rifles’ Hall.

This is what the Commissioners insist upon, and this is what they are going to see is done, even though it involves action in the courts to forfeit a charter. Recently it was brought to their attention that the Anacostia and Potomac Railroad Company had ceased to operate its branch line to the Congressional cemetery. In- spector Beggs was sent to investigate the situation, and reported Saturday that it was true that the railroad had ceased to operate the branch in question, and that President Griswold declared tat the tracks were so covered with dirt and snow that it was impossible to run a car over them, and that anyhow the road didn’t pay its run- ning expenses. Later in the day Mr. Gris- wold appeared at the District building and corroborated what Inspector Beggs had re- perted, and did not seem inclined to do anything to help matters. The Commissioners also received infor- mation that the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company was not operating its North Capitol street branch. The Commissioners have notified these companies to continue the service on these roads immediately or they will be proceed- ed against. One Citixen’s Complaint. A citizen who uses the cemetery branch of the Anacostia railroad almost daily when it is running in discussing the situa- tion with a reporter of The Star today said: “The citizens who reside beyond 12th street, and who depend upon this railroad, are up in arms over the stoppage of the poor, miserable Httle car that plied its weary way over the line about once an hour from 9 o'clock in the morning until about sundown. When this road was built there was no opposition to it, for we were tcld what fine facilities we were to get. At first the cars ran fairly well. Then the service fell off, and instead of every other cer on the main line going all the way through to the work house gate, we had to content ourselves with two cars that ran from the intersection of the main line to the work house gate every half hour. Then the hours were cut off, and like a poor, weak child the cars were put to bed at sundown, and if any of us happered to go to the theater we were compelled to foot it. Things went from bad to worse. After a while cre car was taken off, and the poor, miserable, dirty one that remained made a trip about once an hour unul sun- down. It seemed as if a big rain or a lit- tle cold weather would work its disap- pearance. We have suffered in silence, but there is an end to everything, even human endurance, and now we demand that some- thing be done. “Time and time again we have appealed to the Commissioners. They make a big bluff about sending an inspector out, and then we hear nothing more about it. This company obtained a valuable franchise and is not giving the citizens any kind of decent service. Let The Star take up the fight and I am certain we will get results.” Why the Authorities Go Slow. A prominent District official who has given this subject of street railroads con- siderable time in investigation, said he un- derstood why it was the Commissioners did not resort to drastic methods to compel a strict observance of the railroad charters. ‘There were instances every day or so where railroads violated the terms of their char- ters, but the authorities, profiting by the experience of the Metropolitan railroad, were slow to act. It was a difficult matter to take away a charter. He thought a regulation should be passed, or better still a provision incorporated in every ratlroad bili providing that in case of violation of charier the offending road should pay a fine of $00, This would remedy all complaints and be only just to the traveling public. —— SINKING OF THE DALE. She Settles Into the Mud of Balti- more Harbor. The United States sloop-of-war Dale, which arrived at Baltimore from Washing- ton Saturday to go into service as the practice ship of the Maryland Naval Re- serve, sank yesterday at her wharf, foot of Charles street. The Dale {fs now resting on the bottom, the water just covering her main deck. There are eighteen feet of water at the wharf, and the ship ordinarily draws four- teen feet six inches. She is in an upright position, her upper deck being above water. Several cayses for the sinking were given, says the Baltimore Sun, one of them being that the water which had washed into the boat during the trip from Washington had settled her enough to permit more water to enter through seams which had not previously been below the surface and were opened by shrinkage. If this proves true the sloop will not have to be docked, as she can be pumped out and caulked where she is. One of the sailors who came from Wash- ington on the sloop said she would have bad luck during this commission, and gave as his reason the fact that a black cat had boarded her just before she started from Washington. The cat was not to be found yesterday. Some of the sailors also regarded it as a bad omen that she had left Washington Friday. The Dale has not been in active service since she went on duty at the Naval Acad- emy soon after the close of the civil war. Just ten years ago she was relieved from service at Annapolis and assigned to the Washington navy yard as a receiving ship. On her last cruise, in the summer of 1884, she encountered a severe storm, and for three days grave fears were held for her safety. ‘The navy has been careful to provide the ship with all the equipment neces- sary for the proper instruction of the re- serve in seamanship, navigation, gunnery and boat drills. Except that she has no masts and sails, she is practically a war- ship yet. ~~ + How Tow Reed Sprained His Ankle. From the Boston Daily Globe. WASHINGTON, January 4.—Ex-Speaker Reed is still confined to his rooms by his sprained ankie, but he is recovering nicely, and his physician thinks that he will be able to get out next week. Many stories have been published as to the, manner in which the injury was in- flicted, none of which have been correct. The fact is that Mr. Reed is suffering from the result of his gallantry. He was ing in one of the 5th avenue stages in ew York, and the vehicle was comfortably filled. A woman entering the stage was un- able to find a seat, and Mr. Reed, with a graceful bow, arose and tendered his place to her. Just as she had availed herself of his kindness the stage gave a sudden lurch, throwing Mr. Reed forward. In his efforts to save himself from falling full length in the vehicle his ankle was twisted severely, and the lameness from which he has been suffering resulted. This version of the accident comes from Representative Dingley, his colleague from Maine, who called this morning upon the ex-Speaker to inquire after his condition. —_—_-+0«--____ Killed an Electric Light Wire. For half an hour last evening a helpless and horrified crowd stood on 10th street, be- low Carpenter, at Camden, N. J., and watched the full force of an electric light current pass through the dead body of a man who had been killed by stepping upon alive wire. While Harry Schaifer, a young silk weaver, was walking along 10th street 1ast evening he stepped upon a broken electric light wire that was trailing on the pavement. In falling Schaffer was thrown upen a mass of broken telephone wires that had peen left lying in the street since | the recent storm, and his feet remaining | across the live wire his body complete:! the circuit and the current constantly pass- ed through him into the heap of wire.

Mr. Gamble of the Theological Seminary conducted serv. + at the Railroad Read- ing Rooms, and Mr, John Scott of the same institution conducted services at Mead’s Chapel. Rev. Ramsey Smithson preached an interesting sermon at the Southern Methodist Chu-ch last night. The police report no arrests during the day, and everything generally was very quiet. The electric cars hauled but few out-of-town passengers, and the Sunday attendance at the driving park was smaller than usual, The Alexandria Jail. ‘The records show that there are at pres- ent contined in the Alexandria jail twenty- four prisoners, which is a falling off in numbers during the past several months. Twenty of the inmates are colored and four are white. Might are subject to the chain gang for petty offenses. Five prisoners are held for the action of the county authorities. Eleven are held for the action of the grand jury at the coming term of the corporation court. 1t is said that the mild weather up to the last week or ten days is the reason that the number of prisoners is Not as large as usual.

The thaw of ice and snow which set in Saturday night as a result of a rain, which continued all yesterday, resulted in con- siderable damage to property at Johns- town, Pa. The damage was reported so seriously that the police were sent out to warn merchants and others to clear the ice from their buildings. A more threaten- ing danger last night, however, was the rapid rise of the river. The great snew of a few days ago is melting on the mountains and reinforced by a heavy fall of rain is swelling the Conemaugh and Stoney creek. There was an additional danger of a gorge of ice at the Pennsylvania stone bridge. ECZEM of this disease. I visi ings and was treated by the best medical men, but was not benefited.

The steamship China arrived at San Fran- cisco yesterday from Yokohama, bringing the following advices: TOKIO, Japan, December 21, 1894.—All trustworthy signs now point to a speedy peace. Everts have marched with great rapidity in the last two weeks. The Chi- nese hopes of resistance have broken down and a formal offer of direct negotiations has been made. Little progress was made until after the capture of Port Arthur, when the Chinese at last appeared to realize the necessity of immediate action, and they declared their readiness to appoint a representative of sufficient rank and to invest him with full powers from the central government, The choice of an appropriate place of meeting remains to be considered. The Chinese have designated one of their own ports, Shanghal, as a desirable rendezvous, but to this Japan will not consent, amd con- siderable time has been lost in discussing the locality, but the movement toward the place is proceeding, however, in apparently good faith on the Chinese part, and with sincerity by the Japanese. The Japanese ministers are thoroughly aware that the in- terests of their country will be most worth- ily served by bringing the war to am end with the least possible delay. The task before them is not an easy one, for the strong and active military classes are bent on further conquest on a large scale, and the public feeling is all in favor of inflicting additional punishment on the enemy and demanding inordinate terms of settlement.
