It took several hours to settle the election at St. Mark’s Church last evening, and the parish meeting did not adjourn till after midnight. There were apparently two rather distinctly marked parties. The meet- ing was largely attended. The discussions that prolonged the contest last night were over questions of order of church law re- garding the qualifications of voters and methods of procedure. Whatever differ- ences existed between the parties as to matters of parish ‘policy did not transpire in the meeting or form the subject of dis- cussion. The original differences, it is ciaimed, arose a year or so ago over the establishment and support of a mission in the northeast, one party being opposed to undertaking the work while the parish was heavily burdened. Since then other ques- tions have arisen on which the parties have taken sides. At the meeting fast night the senior warden, Mr. John B. Torbert, seem- ed to be recognized as the head or repre- sentative of the anti-mission party, while the other side was referred to in conversa- tion as the Parkman party, Mr. Chas. B. Parkman being regarded as the head and front of that par@y. The most notable re- sult of the election was the defeat of Mr. Torbert for re-election as senior warden. Mr. Torbert had neld the office for a great many years. On the first ballot there was a tie vote of 53 each for Mr. Torbert and his competiter, Mr. Bennett. When the bal- lot was taken over again Mr. Bennett re- ceived 53 votes and Mr. Torbert 49. It was claimed by Mr. Torbert and his friends that a number of persons never before regarded as members of the parish had been brought in to defeat their ticket, their required con- tributions of $2 each having been paid at the last moment, and their names not ap- pearing on the registrar’s list, though they did appear on one kept by the rector. It was on this account that there were long discussions as to law and qualifications, and letters from the bishop were read, it finally being decided to recognize both lists. The Parkman party carried the election, Mr. 8S. B. Roane being elected junior war- den over Mr. Kent, and _ the following vestrymen being chosen: Wm. R. Hillyer, Adam Gaddis, W. S. Nicholson and E. K. Lundy. The vestrymen holding over are ‘W. H. Marlow, C. B. Fonda, R. J. Earn- shaw and L. A. Wood. Reorganization of St. Luke's. The Easter election meeting at St. Luk@s Episcopal Church, corner of 15th and Madi- son streets, lasted from 7:30 till 11 p.m. ‘THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP. cae EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 &.

The following were the readings of the thermometer at the weather bureau today: 8 a.m., 46; 2 p.m., 54; maximum, 55; min- imum, 40. and was one of the most eventful in the history of the parish. The proceedings were marked by thorough order and pre- vailing quiet. Rev. David Barr, the visit- ing missionary of the diocese, presided. Mr. Barr has acted as rector of St. Luke’s since New Year. The work of the meeting was to reorganize the vestry. This led to the election of four of the old vestry to retire. Those thus voted out were Arthur Collyer, John Van Brakle, Clarence Comp- ton and Johnson Coilins. Four new vestry- men were elected, as follows: J. C. Nor- wood, Daniel Murray, Eugene Brooks and R. H. Nugent. Those who hold over are W. A. Lavalette, F. C. Revells, Charles Lane and James F. Allston. Charles Mur- ray was chosen senior warden and Frank Upshur junior warden. R. H. Nugent was re-elected treasurer. R. D. R. Venning was elected register. Mr. Eugene Brooks, in a happy little speech, presented Mr. Barr, on behalf of a number of members of the church, a fine robe case. The most important businebs of the even- ing was the action taken by which a suc- cessor to Rev. Dr. Crummel, for so many years rector of St. Luke's; was chosen. Dr. Crummell having reached an advanced age is retired by Bishop Paret, and under the beneficent provisions of the aged clergy fund will receive an annuity for life. The new rector chosen last night is Rev. John Albert Williams of Omaha, Neb., who comes at the unanimqus request of the vestry and with the ‘urgent desire of Bishop Paret. Mr. Williams visited Wash- ington last October as a delegate to the convention of the Brotherhood of St. An- drew and preached at St. Luke's. He is a native of Canada, about thirty-five years old, was educated at- Detroit, is now rector of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon at Omaha, and is known as a high church- man. The vestry gave’ considerable time last evening to the consideration of the debt of the church, which is not large, but in the present hard times must be carried for several years. The total debt is about $4,000, which will be refunded with the church property as security. : . —_——_—_. CELEBRATING AT LOS ANGELES. The Whole City and Its Guests Devote the Time to Pleasure. The opening of the second annual cele- bration of La Fiesta de Los Angeles took place at Los Angeles, Cal., yesterday. The hotels, public houses and many private residences ave filled to overflowing with people, who are gathered here from all parts of the country. It is believed there are 50,000 visitors. The entire city is given up to this re- view. No business will be done except that pertaining to the festival and that abso- lutely necessary, and the whole population of the city will devote the week of the carnival to the enjoyment of the splendid pleasures prepared and the entertainment | of the city’s thousands of guests. A novel feature of-the fiesta is the lavish street decorations. Merchants and property own- ers along the line of march and on all the principal streets have buried their build- ings beneath masses of palm leaves, pine boughs, flowers and buntings. Flags are flying from every post and are draped on every pillar. The city is a sea of color, in which the colors of la fiesta, yellow for the orange, the green for the olive and the red for the wine, predominate. Besides the decorations of buildings by private indi- viduals, the Merchants’ Association, under which the festival is given, appointed a committee on street decoration, and its work is very much in evidenee. +e.

Up and around Williamsport particularly there is an unveual lull in the canal coal trade, according to the best reports. The Pennsylvania Raiiroad Company, it is claimed, have filled the section about there with competitive agents, who are lower- ing the price to such a figure as to affect seriously the sale of the Cumberland pro- duct. The rival coal is coming from the more scuthern fields of West Virginia, and is brought.in over the West Virginia road— the Baltimore and Ohio company’s rival in the soft coal section. For miles these two roads run parallel. The West Virginia is eentrolled by Gorman, Elkins, Davis and the Blaine representatives. The road con- trols vast coal fields. The price of the product has been so cut that the territory which has heretofore drawn its supply from the canal has gone over to the in- ducing dealers in alarming numbers. It is believed here that the West Vir- ginia road is endeavoring to control and then destroy the coal trade on the tanal. This will further its long desire to get pessession of the highway for railroad pur- peses. Several years ago the West Vir- ginia owners tried in every possible way to get possession an adapt the canal to railroad uses, but at every definite turn the Baltimore and Ohio checkmated them. The West Virginia got so far as to ob- tain a charter from the legislature, of Maryland giving them the right to use the canal for railroad purposes, provided a certain sum be annually paid, to be applied toward the satisfaction of the claims of the state and bondholders. Here, however, the Baltimore and Ohio stepped in, and using Miss Garrett's interest in the canal bonds and their own succeeded in securing an injunction or restraining order prevent- ing the charter from becoming effective. It was decided by the court to allow the bondholders to hold the canal for a suffi- cient time to enable them to see if they could not make it pay, and also cancel cer- tain indebtedness then existing. On the failure of those now having con- trol to accomplish this, the West Virginia company’s charter becomes effective. The trade on the canal has received a very sudden setback. The opening of the year brought predictions of great prosperi- ty, but the last two weeks, dealers say, have brought about a big change. Masonic Entertainment. The combined Masonic bodies of George- town are arranging through their repre- sentatives an entertainment, designed to bring all members together for a particu- larly enjoyable evening. Last night the ap- pointees of the various bodies met at Ma- sonic Hall and selected committees on tal- ent, invitations, dancing and refreshments. May 8 was fixed upon as the date of the affair. A limited number of the friends of the members will be admitted. The pro- gram will be one of excellence, some of the best artists in the city having volunteered their talent. Seriously Tl. - Mr. John M. Athey is lying very ill. Two weeks ago he was violently attacked on the street with the mest serious form of ver- tigo and fell. He was taken home, where he has lain ever since. Owing to Mr. Athey’s advanced age and previous poor health, his complete recovery is very im- probable. Successful Entertainment. The “Kamptown Soshul Klub” of the Western High School had a flatteringly successful appearance last night at the Linthicum Hall. The features were all of minstrelsy. Those who furnished the fun were Joe Taussig, Wm. P. McKee, Ray Kigtland, Ed. Duckett, Geo. Thompson and all the others whose recent work at the High School Hall brought forth such com- There were solos, vocal and instrumental, choruses, duets, concerted instrumental numbers and the _ usual sketch. The latter was entitled “‘The Ser- enade,” and spluttered with fun from start to finish. There was a big crowd in at- tendance. Notes. Mrs. Octavia W. Turpin, daughter of Mr. Geo. Thos. Woodward, died last night at about 9:30 o'clock at the residence of her father, 1409 29th street. There are only three tombstones now in good condition in the Presbyterian grave- yard. All the others have been destroyed or stolen. ——_. ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION. The Fund of the American University Growing Larger. * Five thousand dollars, the gift of a friend in California, have been addéd within the past few days to the fund now being raised by Bishop Hurst and Vice Chancellor Beiler to erect the hall of history of the American Uriversity. The amount needed for the purpose is $150,000. The work of collecting this sum was beguh January by Bishop Hurst and Dr. Beiler, and up to this morn- ing they had secured $106,000 of the amount. It is hoped by them to get the remaining $44,000 by May 15, and that they shall be able to report the full sum contributed to the trustees when they meet in semi-annual session in this city on May 22. Drs. Hurst and Beiler were in Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday and yesterday, where they preached on the day first referred to at Epworth Methodist Episcopal Church in the morning, and at night, respectively. Yesterday the ministers of the city gave a reception in honor of Bishop Hurst. Vice Chancellor Befler will probably extend his trip farther west, but the bishop is expected to return to Wash- ington this week. See It Was Easy.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS NEWMARKET, England, April 16.—The Newmarket Craven meeting of 1895 opened today with brilliant weather, but a small attendance. Mr. Richard Croker’s Eau De Gallie, for- merly Utica, won the Crawfurd plate. Ten horses ran. Estar (4), carrying 6 stone 8 pounds, the property of Sir J. Blundell Maples, was second, and Erin (5), carrying 7 stone, 12 pounds, the property of Capt. Machell, was third. The starting prices were 8 to 1 against Eau de Gallie, 7 to 10 against Estar and 9 to 4 against Erin. Eau de Gallie, formerly Utica, is a bay colt, three years old, by Iroquois out of Duchess. Willie Sims was on Eau De Gallie and made the running throughout. The boy rode in masterly style and won with com- parative ease. At the drop of the flag Sims was first away and was never headed. The favorite ran almost even with the American horse, and the latter seemed to tire a bit coming up the hill, and toward the. finish it looked dangerous for the son of Iroquois. But Sims applied the whip just in time, Eau De Gallie responded gamely, fairly jumped ahead and captured the prize. The following were the conditions of the race: The Crawfurd plate (handicap) of 15 sovereigns each, 10 forfeit, or 5 only if de- clared by April 9, both forfeits to fund, with 300 sovereigns added; the second horse to receive 50 sovereigns out of the stakes, for the three-year-olds and upwards; win- ners after publication of the weights, 5 pounds of a handicap, 7 pounds of any two Faces or one of 300 sovereigns, 10 pounds extra. Bretby stakes cou six furl 5 26 subscribers. rial coe The entries included in addition to the American horse mentioned,Baron de Roths- child’s Medicis, Baron de Rothschild’s Amandier, Prince Soltykoff's Woolsthorpe, Baron de Rothschild’s Harfleur II, H. Mc- Calmont’s The Lombard, M. R. Le Baudy’s Acrobat, Capt. Machell’s Erin, Mr. B. L. Barnato’s Beggar's Opera, Mr. Oswald’s Mena, Mr. Daniel Cooper’s Paprika, Col. North’s Quickly Wise, the Duke of Hamil- ton’s The Nipper, Sir J. Miller's Lord George, Prince Soltykoff’s Cameo, Col. North’s Rabicano, Mr. B. L. Barnato’s Marble, Sir J. Blundell Maples’ Estar, Mr. T. L. Cambie’s Telesinus, Sir J. Blundell Maples’ Dancing Bells, Mr. Dartmooi's Tarrare, Mr. A. L, Duncan’s Miss Vi, Sir J. Miner’s Millennium and Mr. T. Jen- nings’ Sauteur. Messrs. Richard Croker and Michael F. Dwyer saw their horses exercise this morn- ing, and were early upon the scene. The American horses had been entered for the double trial plate for two-year-olds, for the Crawfurd plate handicap for three- year-olds and upward, and for the ap- prentices plate for three-year-olds and up- ward. Mr. Dwyer’s Stonell and Harry Reed had been entered with Eau De Gallie for the Crawfurd plate. Harry Reed look- ed fit, but it was reported that he was off his feed. Mr. Dwyer is satisfied with the appear- ance and training of the horses. He says that they never looked better, but added: “Of course, the conditions are new to us and we are pretty heavily handicapped. 1 have no idea how we shall show up, but we ask no favors.” Later in the day Messrs. Crocker and Dwyer decided to scratch all their entries but Eau De Gallie in the events to be de- cided today. It is rather a remarkable coincidence that It was the sire of Eau De Gallle, Iro- quois, that was the first American horse to win the derby. WILL AWAIT RATIFICATION. Confcrences of the Peace Envoys Over for the Present. TOKIO, Japan, April 16.—The newspapers here announce that at the conference be- tween the peace commissioners yesterday Viceroy Li Hung Chang submitted China’s reply to the propositions of Japan, where- upcn an agreement on the subject was reached. It is added that the conference of the peace commissioners will not meet again until the ratification’ of the treaty of peace are exchanged. LONDON, April 16.—The Japanese minis- ter here, in an interview today, said that he had not received information that peace had been concluded on the terms stated in the dispatch to the London Times from Shanghai. The Japanese minister adds that the Times dispatch omits several particulars which he knew Japan had advanced, nota- bly the favored nation treatment and other ccmmercial concessions. He also said that the amount of indemnity mentioned .was very small, but he believed that the clauses referring to the independence of Corea and the cession of the Island of Formosa were ecrrect. Clauses two and three, regarding retention of territory captured, the minister remarked, were difficult to understand, while an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan, referred to in the sixth clause, was, in his opinion, scarce- ly reconcilable with the present require- ments of Japan. Sa LOCAL SUNDAY LAWS. Opinion of Attorney Thomas Regard- ing the Conditions. Mr. S. T. Thomas, attorney for the Dis- trict, has rendered an opinion to the Com- missioners with~reference to Sunday ob- servance, in the course of which he says that the only Sunday law is an act of the Maryland Assembly of 1723, which makes labor on the Lord's day, except in cases of charity, unlawful, and imposes a penalty of $3.33 for each offense. The only other law in regard to the matter is an act of the District legislative assembly of August 28, 1871, declaring that nothing in the act shall authorize any one to keep open his place of business for the sale of any mer- Spee except medicines in case of neces- sity. : ——— BLAND’S REJOINDER. Says That the President Speaks for the Gold Monometallists. Ex-Representative R. P. Bland was seen at hfs home at Lebanon, Mo., yesterday, and interviewed relative to President Cleveland's letter on sound money. Mr. Bland was shown the salient features of the President's letter, and said, after pe- rusing it carefully: “Mr. Cleveland, unfortunately for him- self, his party and his country, from the beginning of his administration, has drawn the line sharply between the friends of bi- metallism and gold monometallism. In do- ing so he has forced upon the country a state of affairs that is intolerable to the masses of our people. “Gold monometallism is a stench in the nostrils of the plain people. The gold standard may do for the bondholders and the bankers, but the sufferings of the in- dustrial masses consequent from silver de- monetization will not be endured longer without a struggle, the like of which this country has not seen since the late civil MR, He war. “Mr. Cleveland must remember that this crystallization and combination of the gold standard sentiment and methods has brought disaster to the people of ail gold standard countries, and this policy is now ruining this country. It is this state of things that has made his administration hateful to the masses of the American peo- le. uy OMe. Cleveland’s insinuations that the ad- vocates of silver restoration are based on wicked and unpatriotic purposes may do for those whose environments are such as to prevent them from seeing and knowing the utter poverty and distress that is pre- vailing among the masses of the people, but those who live in the midst of this distress and see daily that the people are suffering will repel. with scorn such insinuations.” FINANCIAL.
