His Transfer May Elevate the Post to an Embass: The Russian legation here has received no confirmation of the cable report that Prince Cantacuzene, the Russian minister, will be transferred to Vienna. If the change is made it will bring exceptional honor to the prince, first, in assuring his elevation to the rank of ambassador, as the post at Vienna is an embassy; and second, in accrediting him to one of the most important stations in Europe, Austria being a member of the triple alliance. The importance of the post is indicated by the fact that the present ambassador, Prince Lobanoff-Rostovski, has just been made Russian minister of foreign affairs. If he is now succeeded by Prince Canta- cuzene, it is thought probable that the latter's rank will be advanced to ambas- sador before he leaves the United States, thus concluding the long-contemplated change, which would also affect Mr. Breck- inridge, the United States minister to Rus- sia, by advancing him to the rank of am- bassador. FIGHTING IN CHURCH. Mass is Interrupted and Several Per- sons Are Wounded by Pistol Shots. During the early morning mass at St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church at Omaha yesterday a party of Poles, who were for- merly members of the congregation, but who were ousted by Bishop Scannell, en- tered the church and attempted to take possession. Father Karminski was saying mass and resisted the attempt to capture the church. One of the invading parties opened fire. Father Karminski at once drew a revol- ver and fired into the attacking party. Af- ter a long fusillade the invaders withdrew, leaving their wounded in the church. Those who were wounded were: Dargaz- zewski, shot through both legs; John JKos- zicka, shot through the knee; Joseph Inda, one of the priest’s supporters, stabbed and beaten over the head. The police were at once summoned ind after a hard fight they took possession cf the church. Several people were arrested, among them Father Karminski, and they are now in jail. The trouble was the outgrowth of dis- sensions which have torn the church for two years. Bishop Scannell removed the priest in charge in spite of protests of the leading men of the congregation, and the matter was carried into the courts. For a time the church was guarded by the po- lice whenever services were held, but three weeks ago the district court decided that the bishop should have possession and the trouble was supposed to have been ended. When the ollicers arrived at the scene yesterday morning they found an infuri- ated mob surrounding the church, and it s necessary for the police to fight their ay into the building." There they found the priest in possession backed by five altar boys and the wounded men lying in the aisles. The leaders of the mob were placed under arrest. —_—_—__+--+_____ A GOVERNOR’S ILLNESS. It Causes Much Anxiety Among Dela- ware Politicians. Gov. Joshua H. Marvel is seriously ill at his home in Laurel, Del., although word comes from there that he is in no imme- diate danger and that his condition is slightly improved. The governor has, for many years, been a sufferer from heart disease and dropsy, but in spite of this he has been in almost daily attendance at the sessions of the leg | islatuce in Dover until last Friday, when he took to his bed. The resident physicians yesterday sent for Dr. William Pepper, ex- provost of the University of Pennsylvania, who went to Laurel. The governor was to have gone to Philadelphia, but he was un- able to do so because of an unfavorable turn. The illness of the governor has caused much anxiety in political circles. He is more than seventy years of age. All the state officers are appointed by the governor, and should his illness terminate fatally he will be succeeded by Speaker William T. Watson of the senate, who is a democrat. This would throw all the state patronage to the democrats. If Speaker Watson be- comes governor a new state senator would have to be chosen from Kent county. Witn Mr. Watson governor, the senate would stand four democrats and four republicans. The democrats carried Kent county last fall by about 100 majority. If a new elec- tion were ordered it would be very exciting, as the control of the legislature would be involved in the election of this senator. ed Unpoliced Reservations. To the Editor of The Evening Star: 0 In your valuable paper of the lith in- stant, under the heading “In Hotel Corri- ridors,” a Mr. R. S. Judd gives his views upon the “freedom from molestation wo- men are accerded in Washington,” as com- pared with other large cities in the states. Permit a Chicagoan to give you an in- stance. Friday evening last my wife, ac- companied by a lady companion, a resident of your city, had occasion to pass through Judiciary Square, on E street. While walk- ing along they were confronted by a man, who exclaimed in a cemmanding tone, “Ladies, stand where you are.” Of course the ladies did not “stand,” but quickened their pace, but could not get-out of the fellow’s way until he had asked for the usual few nnies. Now, I simply relate this to say that in a small square in the center of a “large city” such a ‘‘molesta- tion” should not occur, and would not cc- cur even in a city so badly governed and policed as Chicago. Might a suggestion be Offered to the local police that a closer watch be kept upon the “gentlemen” who inhabit the shrubbery lined walks of Ju- diciary Square, in order that ‘“‘women unat- tended” may pass through after night- fall “unmolested? CHICAGO. ————— Canned Goods Packers. ‘The Atlantic States Packers’ Association, in annual convention at Baltimore, has condemned the use of all coloring matter in canned goods. The delegates to the National Packers’ convention, to meet in Baltimore May 7, were instructed to favor a uniform brokerage rate of 2 per cent, the organization of canned goods brokers in large cities and confining business to them as much as possible, to discourage the selling of small lots directly to retail- ers and denounce the practice of improper- ly branding inferior goods. The local as- sociation entertained the delegates last night, and today will take them to An- napolis. —— Distinctive Garb Prohibited. 'The Pennsylvania house has passed final- ly, by a vote of 151 to 26, the bill prohibit- ing the wearing of any religious insignia or garb by teachers in the public schools. Before the bill came up yesterday after- noon the republican leaders of the house and some of the officials of the patriotic orders held a conference. Some of the former feared that the measure would prove to the party a gun that kicks, and favored its withdrawal. They were over- ruled, however, and the bill was kept on the track. In defending the bill Mr. Spangler of Cumberland made a speech denouncing the Roman Catholic Church. In closing he took from his desk a small American flag, which he waved triumphantly until called down by Speaker Walden. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN The Catholic Union Has a Debate on the Subject of Suffrage. Low Water in the Reservoir—The Anti-Cigarette League—Other Interesting Items. At the Georgetown Catholic Union quar- ters last night there was an interesting debate on the subject, “Resolved, That a Representative Form of Government Would be Beneficial to the District of Co- lumbia. The debate brought together many members, who evinced the most de- cided interest. The affirmative side of the question was championed by Messrs. J. B. Waters and Thomas Connors, while negative arguments were put forth by Messrs. Thomas Smith and Charles R. Murray. The formal discussion lasted forty minutes, each speaker holding the floor for ten minutes. Then followed a general dis- cussion of the subject, about one hour being consumed. The affirmatives based their arguments on taxation without repre- sentation being unjust and undemocratic. The negatives contended that our present District government was provided for in the Constitution of the United States, and is. therefore, constitutional. Suffrage in the District would be detrimental under the present conditions, owing to the very mixed population and the presence of so many who vote in other districts. The ar- guments were various and forcibly han- dled. On a general vote being taken they decided that the affirmatives had cham- pioned their side in the most effective man- ner and rendered a decision accordingly. On next Tuesday, after the regular busi- ness meeting of the union officers, there will be presented a musical and literary program. Some of those who will assist are Messrs. Waters, McIntee, Inglehart, Cole and Keliher. Low Water in the Reservoir. It is reported that the water in the high- service reservoir here this morning is ten feet lower than usual. There is no force in consequence in the upper stories of the residences cn the heights. Many efforts have been made to have this high service perfected, but as yet no practicable plan has been devised. The water rises and falls at unequal intervals. Anti-Cigarette League. The Anti-Cigarette League of this di- vision has now a membership of about one thousand. Supervising Principal Janney rules over 3,200 students, about half of whom are girls. This leaves in the neigh- borhood of 1,600 boys, two-thirds of whom have pledged themselves to refrain from smoking and to exert their influence to quell the habit in others. There is a very perceptible decrease in the number of cig- arette smokers on this side of the creek. Heturn of Rev. Stitt. Tomorrow when Rev. Dr. Stitt, who comes back to the Dumbarton Church for another term, arrives he will find the la- dies of the congregation in charge of the parsonage and everything wearing a wel- coming aspect. On Friday there will be a formal reception at the church in his hon- or. There is much satisfaction over the re- turn of Mr. Stitt. He has made a most popular pastor. Notes. OnwMonday evening there was a public meeting at Williamsport to further the building of the bridge across the Potomac at that point. Nine thousand five hundred dollars of the necessary $40,000 have been subscribed to. The mecting was presided over by Mr. Victor Cushwa. The regular meeting of Faith Tent of Rechabites was held last night. Several new members were initiated and an inter- esting “good of’ the order” held. The box entertainment of the tent will be held next Tuesday evening. It will be a unique af- fair. Novel features will be introduced. The Rechabite Trio, Johnson, tenor; Bait, baritone, and Taylor, bass, will sing dur- ing the evening. ‘ The Linthicum Students appear for char- ity tonight, at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Navy Yard. The Eastern Dispensary will’ benefit directly. —E WARDEN WRIGHT'S BRAVERY. A Revolt in the Western Pennsylva- nian Penitentiary Suppressed, What appeared to be a revolt of the pris- oners in the western penitentiary, at Pitts- burg, Pa., was promptly quelled by the coolness and bravery of Warden Wright and his guards on Sunday last, the fact only being made public last night. It seems that John C. Dugan, sentenced for three years for larceny, from Clinton county, took advantage of the rule permit- ting convicts to speak to the warden im- mediately after chapel services on Sunday to prefer any special request. In this case Dugan asked the warden to have him re- turned to the mat department, from which he had been removed during the week. The officer informed the convict that he would see him on Monday about the matter. Dugan said he wanted it settled then. The warden ordered him to his seat, and Dugan, apparently in obedience, half turn- ed, and as the warden’s attention was at- tracted to something else, the prisoner hit him a terrific blow in the face, breaking his nose and blackening both eyes. Instantly every convict present in the chapel, 800 in number, sprang to his feet and the excitement was intense. One man yelled, “Now is your time to break for liberty.” The warden, with blood stream- ing down his face, confronted the mob, and calmly ordered every man to his place. One by one the prisoners obeyed, but not until all the available guards had been summoned, and, it is said, displayed their revolvers. All sorts of stories are going the rounds, among them one that a regularly organ- ized conspiracy had been planned and frus- trated. The prison officials, however, say there was no signs of conspiracy, and the only trouble was the viciousness of one man. They say the excitement attending the scene has been exaggerated. ++ —___ Why the Building Fell. The jury investigating the résponsibility for the fall of the tenement house in Orch- ard street, New York, by which four labor- ers were killed, brought in a verdict yes- terday. They find the disaster due to faulty planning, the weight of 100 feet of a five-story wall being concentrated by girders on a 16-inch wall, with templates smaller than the law requires. The work also, they say, was badly done and the material poor, It was the duty, it was pointed out, of Messrs. Waite and Horman, who examined the plans, to call attention to this overloading and to report the devia- tion from law involved in the construc- tion going on under the plan. They are found guilty of gross carelessness in failing to do so. Timothy J. Ormsby, building in- spector in the district, is found guilty of “criminal carelessness of the worst kind” in having made a false report on the work. The contractors and the owner are found criminally guilty for ‘willfully violating the law for the evident purpose of saving expense” and for using bad material. A thorough reorganization of the building de- partment is recommended by the jury. Building Inspector Ormsby was released on $7,500 bail, Comes, Cleaves and Lennon, out on bail, were not rearrested. Waite and Horman will not be arrested. 400) Naval Orders, Pay Inspector R. W. Allen has been or- dered before a retiring board. Assistant Surgeon L. L.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Action Taken at the Meeting of the City Council Last Night. Interest in Revivalist Meetings—Other Matters of Interest Told in Brief Paragraphs. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council was held in the council cham- bers in the market building Jast night, with a full attendance in each branch, Several bills of minor importance were introduced and referred to the proper committees, and several bills were reported. Some little dis- cussion was had in thé lower board on the ordnance creating the office of building inspector, and after several amendments to the original bill had been adopted the whole matter was, on motion, laid over, and the ordnance ordered to be printed. The lower board made an appropriation of $600-for the purpose of testing the thirty- third section of the charter of the city, which is intended to prescribe the manner in which taxes for the improvement of the streets may be collected. Their action was not concurred in by the board of aldermen, and the whole matter was laid over until the next regular meeting. The sum of #) was appropriated for maintaining the chain gan: The chain gang, as a rule, averages m twelve ta fifteen able-bodied men, and it has often- times been suggested to the city fathers that they be employed in repairing the streets, but no action has ever been taken in this matter. The Schoolfield Mecting. The Methodist Episcopal Church South was packed to the doors again last night by those who had come to hear the evans gelist, Mr. Schoolfield. A service of song was held for half an hour, during which Mr. Schoolfield arrived, and, after prayer, and the reading of a lesson from the Bible, Mr. Schoolfield delivered an interesting sermon, which was listened to with rapt attention by those present. The meeting this morning at 11 o’clock was well attends ed. Much interest is being manifested, and it is thought that great good for the cause of the gospel will be the result. Tha meetings will continue throughout the wy at 11 o'clock in the morning, and o'clock at night, and all are invited. Royal Arcanum. Alexandria Council, Royal Arcanum, held a regular meeting in Odd Fellows’ Hall last night and conferred the degrees of the or- der on two candidates. There was a large attendance and much interest was taken in the degree work. This council is always on the qui vive to increase its membership, The Grand Lodge of the order will meet in Staunton next week. Alexandria Council will be represented by Messrs. George Uh- ler and R. W. Arnold, and Vice Regent J. J. Jamieson of this city will also attend, The members cf Alexandria Council hoped to go to the Grand Lodge with 275 active members on its rolls, but in this they will be disappointed, as their number will fall five or six short of this mark. Notes. The insurance adjusters Have not as yet settled the George R. Hill cracker factory. loss. No trace has been found of the horse “Reiff” stolen from the Driving Park sev- eral weeks ago.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I read your recent article on licensing bicycles with great interest, but I fail to coincide in your point of view. It is not a question as to either number of cycles nor their rights alone, but the public has @ controlling interest over this, as of all other questions of safety and rates of speed and taxation of property. The safety of indi- viduals,. particularly the old and very young, those who are deaf or blind or par- tially so, in crossing streets, requires that the speed of all vehicles should be Kmited by law. Not only this, but the skill of the drivers should be ascertained before li- cense, the condition of his own eyesight and hearing, whether he is a drinking or sober man, whether he carries a bell by, day and a lantern by night, plainly audi- ple and visible, and the rules governing the right of way on the streets. These are all to be considered. To meet the first condi+ tion, that of skillful handling of his ve- hicle, I hold that he should be required to obtain a license upon personal examina- tion by an expert. I have seen young men and girls driving at full speed in our streets, heads down, without note of warn- ing by sound or light. I have seen others trying so hard to handle their vehicles that their eyes and limbs and minds were so fully taken up with their machine that they were in equal danger to themselves and others. You might as well set a herd of wild buffaloes free on Connecticut ave- nue. At present, in most of our large cities, it is a mere matter of chance to cross a street safely! There is no record of the number of accidents happening in our city from this cause. But we can judge of what ought to be done from what has been done elsewhere to mitigate the evil. In London city until last year the usual lax regulations had prevailed. But it was found that some fifty serious accidents, besides hundreds of minor injuries, were recorded and hundreds more unrecorded, So that more stringent steps had to be taken—a license tax, with registration of owner’s name and residence, speed limita~ tion, rules of right of way, number regis- tered to be large and conspicuously kept in view, and supervision of the police, with not only loss of license, but big fires for violation of rules resulting in injury to others. In the city of Basle, Switzerland, no bicycles are allowed to drive at all with- in city limits. To conclude, by all means let us require, first, inspections as to the competence of the driver; second, regula~ tions concerning speed and rights of way, bells, lights and voice warnings and li- censes to boot. Require also the rider to exhibit his licensed number plainly and make the duty of policemen to arrest par- ties in fault, as you would for any other misdemeanor, throwing the burden of preof on the cycler, as between himself and the party knocked over by the ma~ chine, for the reason that he goes “as noiseless and inaudible as the foot of time.” Moreover, it is due to the wheel- man himself to be informed beforehand, and I would guard his rights as strictly as those of other drivers or foot passen- gers. But the police force must be en- larged, as a matter of course. The addi- tional expense would be more than covered by the tax or license, which need not be laid on higher than is laid on other kinds of property—not less than a dollar a year on the lowest bicycle, which, indeed, might be the most dangerous. = SUBSCRIBER, ———_ Dr. MecVickar at St. John’s Church.
