GERMANY'S EMPEROR AND THE NAVY The London Athletic Club’s Trip to America. LATE FOREIGN NEWS ——— = LONDON, January 9.—The meeting last evening of the meat and cattle section of the London chamber of commerce in Me- morial Hall has served to bring out a storm of jealous abuse in regard to American meat and American business methods. The Daily Telegraph’s statement that the “American beef kings, after half ruining British husbandry, now coolly propose to take an additional million from British traders and consumers” is repeated on all sides. In an interview with Chairman Cooper of the cattle trade section of the London chamber of commerce he 1s quoted as say- ing: “If it was merely a question of no abatement there is no doubt that the retail- ers would have accepted the situation. But it is viewed by many as marking the be- ginning of a series of other encroachments on trade. ‘fhe Americans go so far as to say that not only shall the salesman be de- prived of the pound and a quarter allow- ance in every quarter of meat, hither- to allowed in order to compensate for the loss by shrinkage in transit and in cut- ting up, but he must not make such an al- lowance to his customers. This is only the first step toward obtaining control of the market, and, when it suits their fancy, to corner trade. he reason the Americans have obtained such a hoid on the English market is that they have sent meat to it perfectly regard- less of the price at which it was sold. This was merely to create a demand. But in so doing they have practically forced their meat upon the market, and, what is more, they have forced English meat clean out of it. “There are only two sources of meat supply available for the Lcndon market, excluding of course the frozen stuff. One is America and the other is Scotland. Eng- land itself is not in it at all. The Ameri- can importers have their principal centers at. Liverpool and at Deptford, near Lon- don, where their stock is landed and slaughtered. “What they are aiming at undoubtedly is to drive everyone out of the trade if they can possibly do so, in order to cre- ate a monopoly. They regulate not only the wholesale, but the retail prices in America. At one time they fairly cor- nered trade in New York. To overcome this the legislature was compelled to in- troduce a bill to the effect that all meat sold in New York state must be killed in it.” Referring to the cost of meat, Mr. Coop- er said: “The American has. to pay nearly as much for the carriage of meat as the En- glishman. It costs less to bring a ton of beef from New York to London than it does to bring the same quantity from Aberdeen to London. The native producer is not placed on anything like a fair foot- ing and the American capitalists, realiz- ing this, are making every effort to con- trol the English market. We, however, feel that they ought not to be allowed to do so withcut a great struggle. I main- tain that if the trade here sticks together they can bring the American importers to the ld terms, because their meats must be sold.” — THE KAISER “LOG ROLLING.” Winning Legislators to the Stend for a Stronger Navy. BERLIN, January ¥.—At today’s session of the reichstag a motion was adopted suspending the prosecution of Herr Stadt- hagen, a socialist member of that body. The debate on the anti-revolutionist Lill was then resumed. ‘he national liberals have decided to interpellate the gcvernment on the charge that it has failed to afford adequate pro- tection to Germans abroad.

Gorsip Regarding the Composition of Te London Club Tenm. LONDON, January 9.—After the meeting of its committee last Wednesday the Lon- den Athletic Club cabled to the New York Athletic Club that the latter’s challenge was accepted, subject to arrangements, and that a letter followed, as already an- nounced by the Associated Press. A sub- committee was appointed to draft a letter, which was posted the same night. This letter stated that the London Athletic Club regarded favoral:ly the challenge of the New York Athletic Club, and that it would do all it could to bring about the prcposed meeting. The letter also asked for details, the consideration of which would be taken up at the next meeting of the committee of the Londen Athletic Club. The latter's communication to the New York Athletic Club did not centain any suggestion as to the list of events, it merely being supposed that the ordinary university list would be adopted. But nothing will be done ofli- cially until the reply of the New York Athletic Club fs received. The secretary of the London Athletic Club, in an interview, said that EF. C. Bre- din, the English quarter and half mile champion of the London Athletic Club, and Godfrey Shaw, the English hurdle cham- pion, also of the London Athletic Club, in spite of the assertions made in certain New York pepers, had always been members of the London Athlette Club. As C. B. Fry of Oxford, the best broad jumper in England, suffered recently from the failure of one of his knees while play- ing foot ball, he is not expected to go to America. In’regard to J. M. Barry, the English weight and hammer thrower; F. S. Horan, president of the Cambridge Unl- versity Athletic Association, the famous three-mile runner, and W. E. Lutiens, the crack mile runner of Cambridge Universi- ty, no replies have yet been received. ._ oo Commission Merchants Meet.

Jas. Tharp, 812 F St. JaS-124 DEATH OF JOHN McDERMOTT. An Estimable Citizen and Highly Re- spected Business Man. The anncuncement of the death of John McDermott was a source of genuine sor- row to all who enjoyed the pleasure of an acquaintance with the deceased. His degth occurred last evening at his residence, 315 Missouri avenue, where he had lived for so many years, and where he decided to spend the balance of his life, in spite of the changed character of the locality. Mr. McDermott had not been sick long, and it will be two weeks tomorrow since his last appearance at his place of business. Then the pneumonia, the disease which finally ended his life, made its appearance, and it was found to be a seriousiy acute attack. Mr. McDermott's age—he was seventy-six years old—was against him in the struggle against the ravages of the disease, and when death came as a relief from his suf- ferings last night those about his bedside ‘were not surprised. ~ To most of the present generation of Washingtonians Mr. McDermott was prac- tically a stranger. During the later years of his long and honorable career he had gradually dropped one interest after an- other which connected him with the cur- rent of the city’s life and devoted himself exclusively to his large business interests and to the management of his property. As is well known, he was the senior mem- ber of the pioneer carriage manufactoryin this city, and one of the oldest ‘establish- ments in that line in the country. Mr. McDermott was recognized by the trade throughout the country as one of the vet- erans in the business. He had a record of sixty-one years continyously in this line of business. He had been a continuous resident of.this city for nearly three-quar- ters of a century. Went to McLcod’s School. He was born in Ireland in the year 1818, and was brought to this country by his father, Michael McDermott, when he was between three and four years old. After landing in America Michael McDermott stayed for a short time in Baltimore, and in the year 1821 came to this city with his family. During the early years of his res- idence here Michael McDermott kept a hotel in a building on the site where the present St. James Hotel building stands, at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street. During these years Mr. John Mc- Dermott was spending his time as boys usually do, and acquiring an education at Mr. McLeod’s school, a well-known school teacher of those days, and an instructor of many of the older citizens of the city. As all trdvel was done in those days by carriages, Mr. Michael McDermott, as the proprietor of a popular hostelry in the na- tion’s capital, found that a good many vehicles reached his stable in a dilapidated condition. The id2a of establishing a car- riage manufactory was suggested by his experierce in the hctel business, and in 1833 he retired from the management of th3 hete! and opened a carriage shop on the site where the present business is carried on, 310 Pennsylvania avenue. The founder of the house has row been dead nearly forty years, and at that time the business passed into the hands of his four sons, with the eldest, John McDermott, as the senior member. The firm was then known as John McDermott Brothers. One broth- er died, one retired from the business, and until the death of John the firm has been ccmposed of John and James Mc- Dermett. Familiar With Local History. The deceased leaves one son, J. Arthur McDermott, who was associated with his father in business, and two daughters, Mrs. J. F. Riley of New York and Miss Aca Mc- Dermott. % In his earlier years Mr. McDermott was more actively identified with local affairs than he was during the latter years of his life. He was the president of the Perse- verance Fire Company, a well-known vol- unteer organization for the protection of property before the date of the organiza- tion of the paid department. He also com- manded a company that was formed in this city during the late war for the protection of the city, and on account of this mili- tary experience he was called by some of his friends Capt. McDermott. He was ex- tremely well posted on the history of the city. and his memory of men and events of the past was remarkably strong and distinct It gave him great pleasure to converse with old friends in regard to the early days of the city and his recollections were large- ly drawn upon by those who had occasion to write of the pas' Mr. McDermott was twice married. In addition to his interest in the bu ess he was an extensive owner of real estate in this city and his property interests were mainly in houses. For a long time Mr. Mc- Dermott attended St. Dominick’s Church in South W ngton, but latterly he had been a member of St. Patrick’s parish. The funeral services will be held at the latter church on Friday morning at 10 o'clock and the interment will be at Mt. Olivet. The active pall-bearers will be selected from the employes in the establishment, some of whom have been employed there for thirty years. The pall-bearers will con- sist of personal friends of the deceased. ——— Commanders, Not Pilots, Responsible. ‘The grounding of the Cincinnati off Exe- eution Rock, N. Y¥., last November having made it expedient, Secretary Herbert has issued a general order fixing the respon- sibility of pilots on naval vessels. The order reads: ‘‘A pilot is to be considered merely as an adviser to the commanding officer, and his presence on board a naval vessel shall not relieve the commanding officer of such vessel or any of his subor- dinates from full responsibility for the proper performance of the duties with which they or any of them may be charged concerning the navigation of the vessel.” The Marine Band’s Southern Tour. Secretary Herbert has given his consent to the departure of the full Marine Band, under ihe leadership of Prof. Fanciulll, on a tour of the prircipal cities of the south next March. The application of the band for this permission has been pending fer many weeks and was reinforced by person- al appeals from many prominent southern men. The band will leave Washington about March 15, in the Lenten season,. when there will be no demand for its serv- ices at the White House. INDEX To ADVERTISEMENTS, COUNTRY REAL ESTA‘ DEATHS .

THINKS: AN EITRA: SESSION LIKELY Senator Aldrich Says Democrats Are Shifting Responsibility. THE REPUBLICAN POSITION It is worthy of note that some of the most distinguished ‘democrats doubt very much whether there will be any financial legislation at this session. Chairman W. L. Wilson of West Virginia says: do not now see how it is possible that any financial or tariff legislation shall be accomplished by this Congress. The action of the steer- ing committee of the republican Senate would seem to indicate that it is not pos- sible to repeal the one-tenth differential on sugar, which, it is claimed, is the basis of the opposition of the Germans to our tariff law, and which has resulted in the embargo upon the importation into the German em- pire of American beef products. There scems now to be no reason to believe that the republican Senators will co-operate to secure the passage of the bill which I have introduced to repeal this one-tenth differen- tial. That being the case, of course, there is no possibility that any legislation of that sort can be adopted. As to an Extra Session. “And as for the currency legislation, “it does not seem to me to be practical to pass any law to reform the currency. In fact, as I look ut the situation, I do not see how it is possible to avoid an extra session of the next Congress. I have had no conver- sation with the President upon this sub- ject. I do not know what his views may be. I do not assume to speak with any au- thority of him. But, speaking as I would if I were in the place of the President, I must say that I can see no way in which an extra sesion of the Fifty-fourth Con- gress can be avoided. I certainly, if I were the President of the United States, would not remain here for nine months, and as- sume the responsibility for the continued issue of bonds, in order to maintain the government. It seems to me that the proper democratic policy is to enact some currency legislation in this Congress which will relieve the government from its em- barrassment. But if that shall prove to be impossible, it seems to me that the only cecurse for the President to pursue is to call the next Congress together, ana to in- form them that he has appealed in vain to the Fifty-third Congress for legislation which {is necessary to save the government from embarrassment, and that, having failed in that, he will ask the Fifty-fourth Congress to attempt to do the work which the Fifty-third Congress has failed to ac complish.”” This statement of Chairman Wilson is of very great importance,; as indicating what some of the gentlemen, who are very near to the President think of the situation. Senator Aldrich’s Views. As to the proposition of Chairman Wil- son, and of some of. the western cattle men, for that matter, that the German embargo could be removed ff thé one-tenth differen- tial upon sugar should be repealed, Senator Aldrich of the Senate, finance committce and of the republican.steering committee sald today: 1 “The agitation in foretgn countries, which is taking the form of rétaliatory measures against American- exports, is caused, in my opinion, not by*theimposition ef a dif- ferential rate on sugar, but by the demo- cratic abrogation of.thg reciprocity treaty. And in this connestiee ys is well to remem- ber ‘one fact. The differential against sugar imported from bounty-paying countries ex- isted in the McKinley law, but it formed no cause of complaint from Germany or Aus- tria, or any of the bounty-paying countries. There was then no complaint from them about the differential rate of the McKiniey law, and if the objection had been made to that phase of the tariff bill! Germany would, undoubtedly, have undertaken retaliatory measures when the McKinley act was en- forced. But that was not the case. The reciprocity provision of the McKinley bill was enforced, and under it the countries which are now affected most seriously by the repeal of these reciprocity features were greatly benefited. The republicans in the Senate and in the House warned the dem- ecrats what ld happen if the reciprocity treaties or agreements, or whatever they may be called, which were entered into by virtue of the reciprecity provision of the McKinley law, should be abrogated. But the democrats did not heed these warnings. They persisted in carrying out their the- orics and in abrogating all of these reci- procity provisions. The result is now ap- parent; and the democrats are endeavoring to shift their ground and to evade the re- sponsibility for their actions by claiming that this whole situation is created by the imposition of the one-tenth differential up- on the sugar from the bounty-paying coun- tries. They are not frank enough, or candid enough, to admit that that very differential existed before, when the rela- tions between these countries and the United States were friendly, and when, un- der the beneficent operations of the reci- procity provisions of the McKinley law, and the treatfes which were framed under it, the markets of the world were open to the United States. Value of the Reciprocity Treaties. “The democrats are endeavoring to shift the responsibility by claiming that, if this one cent differential should now be re- pealed, the old relations would be restored. Yet they make no proposition to restore the reciprocity features of the repealed McKinley law, which was the basis of the prosperity of the United States in the matter of its trade with foreign countries. The democrats are entirely mistaken in thinking that they can cause this for- eign oppcsition to be withdrawn and can raise these embargoes upon the cattle trade of the United Statés if only this one-tenth differential duty on sugar from bounty- paying countries shall be repealed. Such would not be the case. No such relations would be restored by the repeal of this provision. But the attempt to repeal it would have a very different effect. The in- troduction of the question in Congress could not fail to reopen the entire tariff question, to precipitate a tariff debate, to unsettle the business of the country, which is only just beginning to reach a normal basis, and to destroy any benefictal results from what it had been hoped was to be an adjustment of ;the ,tariff situation for at least two years; 1 The Republican Position. FpeOte “This, in brief, is the republican position on this general question on the proposed amendments to thé’tarfff bill. The republi- cans do not see thé witdom of that. They feel that it would, bezidle to enter upon such a course asthe democrats propose. And they feel tbe more confident that they are correct in their opinions from the fect that. exactly the state of things now has come about which they predicted would result if thelr warning as to the repeal of the McKinley act and of the reciprocity treaties which were created under it should be insisted upon. “The‘troubles are much deeper seated andtiare very different from what the democrajs supposed. The repeal of the one-tenth differential on sugar would most certainly. not relieve the German embargo upon the cattle trade, and the in- hibitions upon the United States which have been imposed by leading countries everywhere. The trouble lies at the very basis of the democratic policy. It is to be explained chiefly by the repeal of the re- ciprocity features of the McKinley law. Yet the repeal of those features and of the law itself lies at the very basis of the entire present democratic tariff and com- mercial policy. The differences between the two parties are differences of princi- ples and policies, And the ill effects of the general democratic policies cannot be cured by a mere tinkering with the tariff and the change of one more item in the sugar schedule. On the contrary, a move- ment in the direction which has been pro- posed by the democratic party could only result in widespread. disturbance of the business conditions iff this country with- out benefiting ‘at all the foreign commerce of the United States, which is being ruin- ed day by day by the®policy which the democratic party has inaugurated.” ‘his speech Judge Daly said: CELEBRATING JACKSON DAY. Banquets in Memory of the Battle of New Orleai A gathering of prominent and influential members of local commercial circles as- sembled at the Plaza Hotel, New York, last evening to attend the annual banquet of the Business Men’s Association in com- memoration of the battle of New Orleans in 1812. Evan Thomas presided. Secretary Julius Mahr read a letter from Senator David B. Hill, in which he said: “This is the time above all others when the democracy should get together—a time fcr faithful adherence to democratic doc- trines, a time for courage, for zeal, for the revival of the party spirit, for the election of official. standards, for reform within party lines wherever they are needed, for unity of action and faith in the ultimate ascendancy of our principles.” Henry T. Thurber, President Cleveland’s private secretary, had written in behalf of the President, expressing regrets. Vice President Stevenson, in a letter of regret, pleaded a prior engagement. - ~ Gov. Russell of Massachusetts also wrote a letter, apologizing for his absence. There was no list of toasts and the chatr- man introduced Chief Judge Daly of the court of common pleas. In the course of “I don’t be- lieve, gentlemen of the jury, that, you should meet unhappiness after our recent defeat. We are democrats now as ever. There were as many the day after election as before it.” : “I don’t believe one word of that,” called out a voice at this juncture. “Yes,there were,” retorted the judge,’“but the pity was they did not materialize.” J. Callanan called out: “Because they had not a proper leader.” Mr. Callanan is a member of the committee of seventy. ‘This interruption caused some confusion, and when order was restored, Judge Daly said: “I believe that the motto of the democratic party should be principles and not men. Party principles will survive all such defeats as we have experienced, and the democratic party will be purified by them and come out in the end triumphant. Other speakers were ex-City Chamberlain Crain, Col. John McAnerny, Controller Fitch, Col. Charles Glover, who caused a sensation by defending the police force, and others. ‘At the conclusion of the speech by Wm. Fanning, Mr. Callanan rose to his feet. ‘The chairman asked him to be seated, but he was obdurate. “I wish the Business Men’s Democratic Association to hear a resolution. I move that this assoclation send a message from this meeting to Congress and ask that body tu make the Senate a legislative ad- vantage to the country instead of a legis- lative obstruction in the councils of the nation. “If the democrats are ever to elect a democratic President again, they mtust see that our people are not to be left at the mercy of a few financiers of New York, ve got a grip on affairs in Wash- chairman declared Mr. Callunan in order, and the speaker, amid a running fire of hostile comment, said: ‘“‘We must have free iron and free coal, and we must take off the differential duty on sugar, and also what lost Connecticut to the democratic party this year—the income tax.” Mr. Callanan was again interrupted by cries of “No, no,” and ‘You're right.” He conclud2d by proposing a second reso- lution asking the chairman to appoint a committee of two to draft a resolution calling on President Cleveland to go back to the Chicago platform and save the country. The chairman submitted both resolutions and declared them adopted. M. W. Carr vigorously objected. “This 1s not,” he shouted, “a matter for such an occasion as this. It should be discussed at a business meeting.” The chairman toid Mr. Carr that if he wished to discuss Mr. Callanan’s resolu- tions he could have all the time he wanted. Mr. Carr indignantly replied: “I don’t want to discuss them here. It is no place for resolutions.” Mr. Carr was cheered by a number of the diners, while others yelled: “The resolu- tions have been passed.” Franklin H. Stevens created a diversion by moving an adjournment. The motion was seconded, but John A. Sullivan, collec- tor of revenue, responded to calls of his name. He said he did not wish to sneak, as there seemed to be a disccrdant element in the room. He expressed his agreement with Mr. Carr. Mr. Stevens yelled for an adjournment, and Mr. Carr shouted: “No, no; we won't MAR these Be surd resolutions. ler a five minutes’ interval, durin, which Mr. Callanan made futiie efforts to gain the floor, Chairman Thomas took ed- vantage of a lull in the clamor to announce an adjournment, ee THE GRAND JURY CONSIDERING. Hearing Evidence Regarding the Washington Court House Riot. The Fayette county, Ohio, grand jury is now hearing the evidence bearing upon the so-called riot of October 17, when troops called out by Sheriff James F. Cook to protect William Dolby, a negro rapist, killed five citzens and wounded twenty others, The coroner's verdict declared the killing unjustifiable and placed the respon- sibility upon Sheriff Cook and Col. A. B. Coit of Columbus, commander of the troops. It was the general belief here that Cook and Coit would be indicted for murder or manslaughter, but that impres- sion has Leen somewhat dissipated since the names of the grand jurors were made public. +o+____.

QLD FELLOWS HAVE HAD THEIR DAY The Party Must Redeem the Pledges It Makes. BALLOT REFORM NECESSARY “A mew democratic leadership in the south is assured without taking particular- ly into account any late phase of populistic growth and discontent in that section.” This opinion was expressed to a repre- sentative of The Star today by a democrat of national reputation, who claimed not to be Mmited in his views, either by the present status of the financial question or by disappointment felt at the party’s fail- ure to satisfactorily revise the tariff. “The change will come in the nature of things. A chapter of party history has been closed. A new chapter is about to be cpened. New men are absolutely essential to a new order of things. The cld fel- lows have had their day and their course in power stands disapproved. Some ef them while in the minority achieved great reputations. Some of them performed really noteworthy things. But all of that is past. The party now has need to look out for the future, and this calls for new plans and new men. Even the old cries can no longer be conjured with, and esp2- cially in view of the fact that those who responded to them have beef most woefully disappointed in the victory achieved in their name.” Two Notable Exceptions. “But Senators Morgan and Harris have just been indorsed by their people,” was suggested. “They will prove to be excéptions to the rule,” was the reply. ‘There was a sound and sufficient reason for the retention of both of those veterans in office. No young- er man appeared in either case recognized as altogether equipped to step into the elder’s shoes. Mr. Morgan stands for a great fund of valuatle information on pub- lic questions that still are pressing, and Mr. Harris possesses both ability and par- Mamentary experience. Besides, when their claims came to. be passed upon, it was not Possible to successfully charge upon either of them any lukewarmness or change of front on “any important matter of party faith or promise. Both had stood firm for tariff reform and free coinage of silver, and both pledged themselves anew to the party’s best interests. But changes else- where have already taken place, and others are certain to follow. A-reorganization of the party is inevitable.” Young Men of the South. “Are younger men of the proper caliber within reach?” was asked. “There are a great many very capable and promising young men in the south, and an opportunity for distinction will speedily develop them. The rapid rise of Marion Butler in North Carolina, although he is a populist, will act as an incentive to the younger men in all of the southern states. The passion for politics controls in the south fully as much now as it did before the war, and as soon as the fact becomes generally recognized that a new era is at hand and that new hands at the bellows are necessary and have now their oppor- tunity a competent new leadership will ap- Pear.” “If the old leaders are doomed, and the old party cries are no longer effective, what cries will the young men adopt?” “Well, I do. know that the cries will be altogether new, but in future they must be more exact. They must carry a definite meaning. The present tumble of the demo- cratic party has grown largely out of the extravagancles Indulged in on the stump and in platforms. This evil was carried to a most reprehensible extent in the cam- paign of 1892, The platform adopted at Chicago that year committed the party to a policy that no man in his calm and serious moments—unless subscribing thoroughly to free trade—ever believed would be or could be carried out. The democratic party is not for free trade, as that term is employed and properly understood. The utmost ever desired or expected by the wiser leaders was a plain, businesslike revision of the schedules and a judicious and moderate en- largement of the free list. But the free traders took the field and succeeded, un- JERR SY for the party, in attracting at- ention. Campaign Pledges Come Back. “The campaign was one of general en- thusiasm on the part of both the orators and the audience. Then came victory and the time for business, and then our plat- fcrm and our stump speeches rose up to plague us. Legislation could not take ex- treme shape, and when a halt was made far short of what we had promised we found ourselves between two fires. The free traders charged a betrayal of trust, and the republicans charged us with a cowardly bungie. We were told on the one hand that had we set about a full redemp- tion of our campaign promiscs all would have been well, while on the other hand every specie of business depression and embarrassment was laid at our door as the result of a bill which really satisfied no- body. That is the story so far as the tariff is concerned, and nobody can_ truthfully deny it. As for silver, the difliculty was even greater there. The southern wing of the party believed in one thing, the north- ern wing another. A straddle, made up largely of denunciation of the republicans, resulted, and now when some detinite remedial action is necessary the party is helpless.” How will the new leadership express itself on these subjects?” “I shall not undertake to predict. Some éxpression will, of course, be necessary. The questions are far from being settled. The country still needs and demands a re- vision of the tariff on revenue lines, and a settlement of the financial question which shall give to silver its proper duty to per- form as a money metal. This is the demo- cratic platform today, as it has been for years past. But we must specify now what we mean. Generalities must no longer be employed. We must give more heed in future to performance than to proclama- tion. Or, put in the phrase of the more successful of the showmen, we must paste fewer allurements on dead walls and put more attractions under the canvas.” Ballct Reform Necded. “Yow about the cry for ballot reform in the south?” “The young men of the south are ready to meet that. They are ready even to force that issue. They have as much at stake on that point as the republicans or. any- body else. It is generally agreed that a reformation of some kind is necessary at the polls. The situation in the south is not what it was when the present election laws were enacted. In repealing those laws it will not be necessary to denounce them, or to throw obloquy on the men who passed them and upheld them. The ma- chnery was useful enough in its day. But a new day has brought the necessity for new election ak and it must be devised. The new democratic leader- ship would be unwise to shrink from any of the real requirements of the day. The party that is not progressive in this coun- try has no excuse for existence.” Then you do not think that the populist party will supplant the democratic party in the south?” “That is impossible. The democratic par- ty will continue to exist, and, in time, again to flourish. The populist party will be re- membered only for having assisted in fore- ing a change in democratic leadershi, And that will justify its brief existence.” Mrs. [1. C.

Mr. Carlisle at the Capitol Discussing Its Prospects. Secretary Carlisle called at the Capitol yesterday afternoon to talk with members upon the prospects of the passage of the currency bill. He remained in Speaker Crisp’s private office throughout the after- noon and saw those most active in support of the bill. No effort was made to conceal from him the doubt the House managers had as to the passage of the bill. Mr. Carlisle was apparently as hopeful as ever, however, and expressed the belief that the bill will pass. Messrs. Hall of Missouri, Cox of Tennessee and other active supporters of the bill pointed out to the Secretary the probable tactics of the combined opposition. This was to first attempt to defeat the rule closing the de- bate, and, failing in this, to move to strike out the enacting clause. The names of the prominent democrats and republicans who had combined on this line of opposi- tion were given during the discussion of their plan. They included democratic mem- bers from New York, Pennsyivania, Texas and Nebraska, representing the extremes ef eastern and western sentiment on the currency. The friends of the bill reached the understanding that they would meet the fight on the rule by insisting that a caucus was binding on matters of parila- mentary procedure, even though it was not on the merits of a bill. — Anthropological Societ “Prehistoric Works of the Southwest’* was the subject of an address delivered last evening by Prof. W.
