It was almost 4 o’clock yesterday before the District committee secured the floor in the House, and then succeeded in passing but one measure, the bill requiring the re- moval of snow and ice from all sidewalks. The bill providing sanitary regulations was then called up, but was bitterly op- posed by several members on the ground that it confers too much arbitrary power upon the Commissioners. The bill was with- drawn on account of a point of no quorum being made against it. The bill to reduce the tax upon the gross receipts of sub- urban railways was considered, but the House adjourned without action. T! the last District Congress. wi GENERAL NEWS NOTES. The Chicago iron pipe works at New Philadelphia, Ohio, were burned yesterday. The fire started from a match carelessly dropped. The loss is $100,000; insurance, $18,000. The Earl of Cowley is dead in England. He was born in 1834 and succeeded to the title in 1884. The German government does not intend to increase the number of sea-going iron- clads above fourteen, but seven second- class cruisers and one first-class cruiser will be built. The Chicago board of trade has offered to supply the destitute farmers of Ne- braska with seed grain, to be paid for when the crop is sold. The offer has been accepted. George W. Prince of Galesburg, Ill., was nominated for Congress by the republicans of the tenth Illinois district at Galva yes- terday on the 1,476th ballot. Prince Lobanoff-Rostovski, Russian am- bassador to Austria, has been appointed Russian minister of foreign affairs in suc- cession to the late M. de Giers. The prince was governor of Bulgaria before the elec- tion of Prince Alexander of Battenberg. —____+e+—___ American Horses Abroad. Secretary Morton has received a report in regard to the demand for American horses in the United Kingdom. This re- port shows that from fifteen to twenty-five thousand horses are imported annually into that country, most of which have in the past come from the continent of Europe. During the last three years, however, some. of the demand has been met by Canadian and United States supplies. Great stress is laid by British dealers in American horses upon the necessity of meeting the demand as to the character of horse required. One dealer says: “There is no sale for what we call leggy, narrow horses. A short, striding herse is better adapted for London paving. The horses must all be quiet in harness and sound, with as much weight as can be got and on short legs.” Wallace Ruflin, a colored man wanted in Baltimore on a charge of pessing bogus checks, was arrested here last evening by Detective Horne. He was taken to Balti- more this morning by Detective Gault of that city. as day of the Fifty-third | THE WHITE METAL|THEIR MEMORY STIRRED. The Probability of an International Silver Agreement. WHAT MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE SAY Substantial Results Beneficial to Silver Hoped For. SOME OPINIONS GIVEN Talk of the probabilities of a bimetallic conference, which has been more or less active since the parliaments of Great Brit- ain and Germany have agitated the ques- tion, has been given fresh impetus by the adoption of Senator Wolcott’s resolution providing for the appointment of interna- tionat conferees. The discussion is not confined to elther party nor to any par- ticular factions, and in the House the feeling was a decidedly hopeful one all around that the movement under way will be productive of results. The United States has only been waiting, it is gener- ally said, for other governments to take the initiative, or manifest a disposition to meet us half way, to co-operate with them in the inauguration of a plan for more extensive use of silver. If foreign powers show that they are in earnest in the mat- ter, it is said, and proceed to demonstrate the sincerity of their utterances by action the sentiment of the United States would impel the government to act with them. Representative Quigg’s Views. Representative Quigg of New York, one of the working republican members, said, in speaking of the matter: “The vote in the Senate showed substan- tially that the members of that body who are in favor of fiat money or inflation are populists. This is a most encouraging sign of a healthy state of public sentiment on the currency question. The republican party has always claimed that sooner or later those foreign countries. whose finan- cial systems are on a gold basis would tire of pursuing a course of hostility to silver and that the way would open to interna- tional bimetallism. This prediction is be- ing verified, and in the course of the repub- lican party in doing what. it could to sus- tain the use of silver as a money metal without undertaking to bear the whole bur- den of its complete rehabilitation is being vindicated. Of course no one can say what the issue will be of another international conference, but it is certain to be a step in the right direction, and to hasten the day when all the first-class powers will use silver freely on a ratio common to all. “The republican party is going to do everything it can to bring forward this day. In the next Congres3, or as socn as it isin a position to legislate, it will go at the ques- tions of bimetallism and currency reform mindful of the fact that this country is 8,000 miles wide; that it contains a popula- tion, with interests more or less diverse, and that all wise and prudent legislation involves compromise; and it will endeavor to secure a result that will safely reflect the sound sentiment of the whole country and secure the best interests of all.” What Mr. Springer Thinks. “This movement that has recently started in Europe,” said Chairman Springer of the committee on banking and currency, “must not be construed into an effort for the re- monetization of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. On the contrary, there are few, if any, Eu- ropean statesmen who believe that re- monetization is possible. Their object is to secure a ratio so near the intrinsic value of the two metals that the ratio established will be the basis of international exchange both of gold and silver. A fixed ratio which could be maintained would greatly facili- tate business and utilize to the fullest ex- tent of commercial possibilities both metals. What the ratio shall be is of little conse- quence except to silver mine owners, Silver is now being produced at a profit at 60 cents an ounce. With the ratio 16 to] it would be worth $1.29, and it is very doubt- ful whether, if all countries could agree upon 16 to 1, such ratio could be maintain- ed, owing to the fact that production would be stimulated to such an ‘extent that silver would be as plentiful as copper. This move- ment for a new monetary system ought to receive the support of commercial interests regardless of any opinions on the use of gold and silver, for it can only result, if any result is achieved, in reaching a basis on which exchange could be carried on a fixed basis.” Hopefal of Results. “I am very hopeful that the movements in Germany and England will be produc- tive of results,” said Representative Hep- burn of Iowa, who is accounted a silver man. “Only the politicians have been heard from before. The former movements for bimetallic conferences have come from governments. This is a rising of the peo- ple, the masses who have not been heard from before, They have not clearly realiz- ed the tendencies of financial legislation. If the matter could be put to a vote there weuld be an overwhelming majority in Germany and in England, I believe, against destroying one-half of the money of the world as @ money of ultimate redemption. Even in New York city the people are against it. I do not believe there is reason to hope for any action friendly to silver from President Seapscany § for if any man has been outspoken and honest in his op- position to silver he is the man. He has even gone out of his way to express his convictions, when it required courage to do so, and if it was in his power he would place the country on a basis of absolute gold monometallism.” Said Representative Strauss of New York: “A smal) but very active coterie is work- ing in London to bring about a monetary conference. I am hoping that their efforts will succeed, for if anything is to be done to increase the use of silver in our cur- rency it must be done by international agreement—that is, unless we are to go on to a silver basis as the free silver men would have us.”” Representative Cobb of Missouri, who is a prominent member of the House commi tee on banking and currency, said: “If the agitation in Europe is continued, as I hope it will be, it will probably result in g conference. Although I am called a gold bug I am a hearty and enthusiastic bi- metallist, and I believe that bimetallism is the true monetary system. But this nation cannot take care of all the silver in the world, and to make it practicable other governments must carry their part.” —_—___-«-+_____. Complicated Situation. A. R. Alvord, the son of Hiram Alvord of Rockville, Ind., has filed notice of contest in the matter of the estate of the late Mary A. Stocking. The deceased left four wills; that dated December last left the estate to Eliza Townsend, another left it to Sarah J. Dennett of Portland, Me., an- other left it to the Home for Friendless Women and Children, Springfield, Mass., and a fourth one left it to the father of the contestant. It is claimed that the will of 1894 was not in the writing of the de- ceased; that she was mentally incompe- tent to make a will, and that undue influ- ence was exerted by Eliza Townsend. It is claimed that the persenal property is worth about $25,000. SS To Settle an Old Grudge. Jack Williams and John McDougal en- gaged in a fight to a finish, with gloves, at Steubner’s old road house on the Bladens- burg pike last evening. The two men are employed in a florist establishment of this city, and bear each other a grudge of long standing. They came to blows about a month ago, without, however, settling the question as to which was the better man. Last night’s meeting was for the purpose of deciding that point. The men. fought hard and savagely, without much regard to science, for fourteen rounds, when Wil- liams was too weak to continue further, and the referee gave the decision to Mc- Dougal. Neither man was badly hurt, ———-——_ His Last Will. The will of the late Salome Holmes, dated August 9, 1894, has been filed, and the personal property is given to a niece, Alice E. Chesley. The real estate is to be divided between the sons of the latter, Emory ard Octavius. Mrs. .Chesley and her husband are named as executors. A Benefactor of Other Years, Being Needed Again, is on Hand for Duty. A nation threatened with war looks bout for leaders, and, naturally, turns its eyes to veterans who have fought well in previous contests.

To hasten com- plete recovery after the grip Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey was employed. That the same remedy is doing the same good work today appears from a letter written by Mr. Thomas Barrett of Seammon, Kansas, who says: “Having been continually coughing, with pains running through my body, and being unable to work, I took two bottles of Duffy's Puce Malt Whiskey, T am now able to work. The cough and soreness on my chest are almost gone.” ‘The cough, headache and soreness of muscle fol- and stimulated, so that no organ does too much nor too little.

Moral Forces Considered im the Sete tlement of Industrial Disputes. Yesterday afternoon Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, gave a lecture on “Ethics in the Labor Question,” in the lecture room of the Catholic University. In the course of his remarks he stated that the endeavor had been to settle loabor con- troversies, and, in fact, to deal with the labor question as a whole, on the basis of Political economy, without the introduction of the power of moral forces; but so far political economy had proved inadequate, and now the other element, ethics, is being brought into the discussion and is vitaliz- ing the whole question. The old political economy has been, he said, content to limit itself to things and tkeir relations to individual and national wealth, more particularly the latter, rather than to include in its sphere of creed the vital relations of men. It is because of this hard, unsympathetic nature of the so- called science that the labor question has come to be considered as distinct from it, and there has sprung up, within a few years, a new school, which seeks by legiti- mate means, and without revolution, the amelioraticn of unfavorable industrial and social relations wherever found, as the surest road to comparatively permanent material prosperity. The New School. ‘This new school of political economy will, in the near future, deal largely with the family, with wealth, with the state, as the three features of its doctrines, and not confine itself to wealth alone. Under family it will take cognizance of the rela+ tions of the sexes, marriage and divorce, the position of woman and the education and employment of children—the latter forming the most vital element in the eco- nomic considerations of the scientists, as well as inviting the ardent sympathies of the philanthropist. Under wealth the old chapters will be revivified in the nen of moral discernment in relation to the delicate, but always reciprocal, relations of labor and capital. Under state political ethics will be taught as a direct means of securing the loftiest material and social prosperity. Such considerations in the future will be demanded to answer the question, con- stantly put, how labor may be rendered more generally attractive and remunerative without impairing the efficiency of capital, so that all the workers of society may have their proper share in the distribution of profits. This I consider to be the true labor question of today. Of course, it is not that or the socialist, but it is the sober question of the sober, industrious and thrifty workingmen and the humane, large- hearted employers of our country. In the sacredness of the family is found the strength of the people. The desire to see a family growing up begets the indus- try and frugality which allow of its sup- port, and any industrial condition which Se the young ‘men from becoming he heads of families is in direct opposition to the best economical prosperity of the state. Statistics prove conclusively three things—first, that for the past decade mar- riages have decreased in proportion to the increase of population; second, that di- vorces have increased; third, that illegiti- mate births have increased. ‘These incon- trovertible facts are either the results of definite causes or the causes of results not yet made clear, and I contend that in elther case society has the right to demand their recognition in the science of political economy, as directly affecting the equita- ble distribution of the profits of produce, and the condition of all engaged in the work of production. Capital and Laber. The new school of political economy will insist upon the liveliest activity on the part of capitalists to see that their employes are put upon the best possible footing as to all the material surroundings of life; that they have all the advantages to health, morals and happiness which come from sanitary regulations and practical education. It will teach employers that a larger dividend can be drawn from the products of a commun- ity comparatively free from crime, intem- perance, poyerty and vice of all kinds, than from one where these are tolerated. It will teach labor to demand of society the conditions I have described as the surest means of raising wages, sho! hours and giving them the most attractive and remunerative employment. The new school will demand that every one who, in his = lic or private capacity, can do anything to relieve misery, to combat evil, to assert rights, to redress wrongs, shall do it with his whole heart and soul. Mr. Wright emphasized the spirit of his lecture by referring to a practical ened lesson, the settlement of the differences be- tween the employes of the Southern Rall- way Company, in which the company had met the. men on an honorable and ag basis as men, had explained to them the condition of the system, had been willing to listen to what the men had to say, and in this way they had adjusted all the differ- ences, the men going home with a new dignity, the dignity of having been treated as honorable auxiliaries in the business of railway transportation, and the managers having a new dignity added to themselves as well, for they can feel that they have been honorable and manly. Se The Maynard Prise Debate. An interested audience listened to the Maynard prize debate of the Theological Department of Howard University, which was held in the chapel Wednesday evening. The point about which the arguments of the able disputants was focused was the ques- tion “Ought Female Suffrage to Prevail in This Country?” The affirmative of this question was maintained by R. B. Bagnall, A. L. DeMond and G. A. Jones, while the following spoke for the negative: P.C. Dilts, J..N. Soanes and A. T. Clark. The ju who were Maj. Geo. H. Harries, Prof. J. W. Chickering and Maj. F. 1. Campbell, de- cided that in weight and force of argument the affirmative won the debate. The first prize was awarded to A. L. DeMond and the second prize to J. N. Soanes. The uni- versity choir, under the direction of Prof. W. J. Stephens, rendered several selectio! and a song, entitled “‘Hail, Alma Mater,’ written by President Rankin, was sung by, the students. ———————— ‘Women’s Relief Corps. At the fourth and closing session of the annual convention of the Women’s Relief Corps papers were read by the treasurer, inspector and delegate-at-large. The instal- lation services of the new officers will be held jointly with those of the Grand Army in the near future. The reports of the meetings of the council during the year were read and accepted. On motion of Mrs, Gladys Thompson it was yoted that if the corps do the relief work there will be no necessity for a large department relief fund, and, as entertainments given by the department occupy time, tax the energies, demand receipts of cash and withdraw, patronage end influence that properly be- long to the corps, it was decided that the corps do the work.
