DEMAND IN FAVOR OF THE EAST An Effort Will Be Made to Have This City Selected. INFLUENCE OF SILVER ‘There promises to be a pretty lively fight over the place of holding the two national conventions next year. The national com- mitteemen are already being presented with arguments, printed and written, in favor of various cities which want the benefit of the big crowds and the honor of starting the “ball rolling” in the presidential cam- paign. The question of section will be the main one in the contest. "The silver men of both parties want to get their respec- tive conventions as far away from the Atlantic as possible, and to subject them to the liberalizing influence of far western atmosphere. The last several conventions have been held in the middle western states, but in these times, when the people at Devil's Lake and Denver talk about the “west” as if it were a place still remotely toward the setting sun, St. Louis, Chicago and Minneapolis are counted as the center of eastern civilization and subject to eastern Influences. They want the conventions to go decidedly ‘‘west,” and even San Fran- cisco, standing on the brink of the conti- nent, does not seem to them to be too far. The San Francisco people are very se- riously arguing the advantages of that clty over all others, and the novelty of the long trip for the eastern coasters is not counted the least of the attractions. The people of the far west and those of the eastern cities find equal cause.of complaint on account of the favoritism that has been shown toward Chicago by the national com- mittees of both parties, and there is a general demand that some other city shall be selected this time. Argument Against This City. It has been a long time since New York or Philadelphia has had a national conven- tion, and none of the New England states have ever had one, nor has either party ever met in convention in this city. The argument that has always been effective against holding the conventions at the latter place is that the influence of the President and government officials would be too much felt. There is very little to that. The influence of the administration is about the same wherever the convention may be held, and at this time, if there is any difference, the President's influence would probably be less strong at Washing- ton, where all statesmen seem. a little smaller than they do elsewhere and where the executive ie regarded with least ven- eration. Up to 1872 Baltimore hed the monopoly of conventions. From 1832 eight democratic and five whig or republican conventions had been held fn that city, when in 1872 Greeley was there nominated. That ended Baltimore as a conventicn city. Beginning with the republican convention in 1860, Chicago has had five republican conven- tions and three democratic. in ’St she had both parties under her roof. Cincinnati has bad four national conventicns, ending with the democratic of 80. The democrats Met at St. Louis in 76 and ‘s8. In '48 the whigs met at Philadelphia. In '56 the re- publicans and know-nothings held their conventigns there, and the last and only other time that city was selected was by the republicans in ‘72. The cnly- national convention ever held in New York city was that of the d2m9crats in '68. The Public to Be Excluded. The central location and abundant ac- commodations of Chicago have made it the favcrite place of meeting within the past twelve years, but it is regarded as extreme- THE OFFIOIAL WEATHER MAP. iid all i sh EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations token at 8 f.m., 75th meridian time. olf lines are fsobars or lines of equal air pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch.

Yesterday was another of those quiet Sundays for which Alexandria has become famous. There were tRe regular services in the various churches during the day, and resident rectors officiated. Mrs. Stephens of Baltimore, secretary of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, delivered a missionary address in Trinity M. E. Church yesterday morning, and again yesterday afternoon. In her remarks she paid a tribute of praise to the Sisters of Mercy of the Catholic Church, who, she ly doubtful that she will be selected by | said, were numbered among the good mis- either party this time. At the last demo- cratic convention a resolution was adopted recommending to the national committee that thereafter no provisions be made for slonaries of the world.

ANACOSTIA ROAD Efforts to Reorganize Mattera With a New Management. The Strikers’ Ultimatum and the Bonded Indebtedness—Capitalists Investigate—Mecting Tonight. Invitations have beet! sent to a number of the business men ahdmoneyed citizens of Anacostia requesting them to attend a Meeting tonight for ‘the purpose of dis- cussing ways and means, to secure a con- trolling interest in the Anacostia Railroad Company in order that ‘the opefations cf the road may be resumed at an early day. Much good is expected to result from this meeting, but, meanwhile, Rev. H. T. Stevenson, pastor of the Baptist Church in Anacostia, 1s trying to effect a compromise and get healed all the differences between the Protective Street Railway Union and the citizens on the one side and President Griswold on the other. At Mr. Stevenson’s request President Lawrence of the Railway Union has given the former the ultimatum in the matter from the members of that body, to wit: The re-employment of all the men in the service of the company on the day that the strike was begun, and the payment of $1.50 per day as wages to each one here- after. The citizens are determined not to be satisfied with less than the demand as promulgated by President Lawrence on the authority of the union, with the addition of a better schedule than has been in use for a long time past, and for a better equipment of cars for at least that part of the line between Hillsdale and Anacostia and the terminus at 11th and G streets, Washington. \ Having obtained the unalterable demand of the union, Mr. Steverison will, it is un- derstood, call upon Mr. Griswold and ask him to raise the pay of the strikers to the sum demanded, and if_Mr. Griswold will not do this (and he has said repeatedly that be will not), then Mr. Stevenson will, it is expected, make a canvass of the business men of the town and ask them to subscribe a sufficient sum to pay the striking em- Ployes the difference between what the president of the road says the company is able and willing to pay and $1.50, as de- manded by the union. But little confidence is expressed in Ana- costla in the success of Mr. Stevenson's creditable and self-imposed mission, as the merchants and citizens generally say that they can see no relief ahead, except in a change in the management of the railroad company. The Rond’s Debt. The great reported cost for building the Anacostia Railway Company's lines seems to present the greatest barrier in the way of an early deal, and a gentleman who is expected to be present at tonight’s meet- ing and become a subscriber to some of the stock of the new company if one shall be organized told a represen- tative of The Star that he was informed by the best of authority that the bond and mortgage debt of the road amounts to $871,000, on which interest has hereto- fore been paid at the rate of 6 per cent per year, which required the annual expendi- ture of $22,200. The same gentleman said that he had it from the same authority that just previous to the strike the company ‘re- ceived blank bonds which they had had printed, representing $100,000, also to bear 6 per cent interest, which It was proposed to put upon the market, but which, owing to recent occurrences, principally the strike, are now quietly reposing in cne or more of the company’s big safes at their office In Anacostia. It is understood that during the last few days a very careful examination of the property of the compaffy Has been made at the instigation of some ‘persons who are inclined to invest money in the stock of the road provided there,is a change of management, and these gentlemen have ar- rived. at the conclusion ‘that the various lines can be duplicated! in every particular at an outlay of not more than $150,000, and that this will be theiz.oytside bid if they make any offer at all for the road.

Mrs. Chase Seeking Financial Aid in New York City. Mrs. Kate Chase, who is in New York, Is reported, in an interview published in the Press of that city, as saying that she is making an effort to secure money to pay off the incumbrance on Edgewood, her home here. The holders of the trust have grafited time in which to redeem the prop- erty, and Mrs. Chase says that she is anx- fous to keep the place on account of the associations connected with her father. A CHINESE PROBLEM Said the Grand Jury Ignores the Ah Sing Shooting. LAUNDRY RATE CAUSES TROUBLE Police Look for Another Celestial * Qutbreak.. AH SING IS SORRY The grand jury seems to have given the Chinese shooting case a full hearing in- stead of looking fcr probable cause in: the case, so it is rumored, and if the report put in circulation is tree Laundryman Moy F. Chew has been exonerated, so far as it is in the power of the grand jury to do 80, and Ah Sing will be recorded as having shot himself. When the shooting was done on the night of the Fourth of July all “Chinatown” was excited, and the stories of plots and conspiracies were numerous. Detectives Carter and Gallaher reached Chinatown soon after the shooting occurred and placed Moy Chew under arrest because of complaint that he had fired the shot Following the arrest of Moy Chew and his release on $1,000 security the detectives made a careful investigation of the case. They found evidence enovfgh to convince them that Ah Sing did not shoot himself, for in support of. the charge against Moy Chew they found a colored woman in the employ of the Sam Lee Company, which is represented by Ah Sing, who declared in most positive terms that she knew Moy Chew, and that she saw him shoot Ah Sing. Then a white boy saw a Chinaman run through the park across the street from where the shooting occvrred. In addition to this evidence Soo Gow, who is also em- ployed by Ah Sing, gave direct evidence against the accused. Then came stories of the work of alleged “highbinders,” each side claiming that the other was composed of bad Chinamen. One after another of the celestials repeated stories concerning mem- bers of the opposing ccmpanies. On one side there was the Sam Lee Company, while it was stated that the Hop Chung Lung Company was represented by those who were friendly to Moy Chew. It was not a difficult matter to find Chinamen who would say that certain other celestials had beer in prison or had committed murder or some other serious offense, and concerning. one member of the Sam Lee Compary it is openly stated that he has been three times a murderer. Gos- sip of this kind was repeated from one to arother until even those who had received it second or third-hand believed they knew of the actual killings, Very few of the Chinamen were found who were willing to admit they could even understand Engl’sh, and the services of an interpreter were necessary in almost every instance. : Catting Rates. While there were “highbinder” stories hard on all sides, it soon developed that this particular establishment of the Sam Lee Company had cut the price of laundry wcrk and this had caused the others to ignore them. In the social gatherings Ah Sing, Charlie Bing, Hip Lee Sing, Moy Foon and others were not wanted, while the several hundred others, it was stated, had formed what was known as the Hop Chung Lung Company, and ha‘l issued a menifesto concerning cheap laundry work aad made an announcement as to the prob- able ending of those who cut the rate. These things all came to light during the investigation, and when the case reached Judge Miller's court there were additional facts which not only caused surprise, but which, it was claimed, showed that there Was a big conspiracy among the Chinamen, and the fact that there had not been more trouble was surprising. It was claimed by the defense at the out- set that Ah Sing shot himself, but as the case progressed they called a witness. who attempted to show that Soo Gow, Ah Sing’s workman, inflicted the wound, and that he was seen to have two pistols and a hatchet, which he hid beneath the floor. a The floor was examined, but no place was found where the pistols and hatchet could Baveibocn put, nor were any such weapons ‘ound. The case was evidently one of great im- portance in Chinese circles, for the publi- cation in, the newspapers of the story of the shooting resulted in bringing several prominent celestials here from New York, among them ‘two interpreters for Chinese cleties and the courts. Not Wanted. During the hearing of the case there was a series of revelations which puzzled Judge Miller and all others who heard the testi- mony, and in holding Moy Chew for the grand jury the judge was not entirely sat- isfied with the case, and would have in- vestigated still further had he had final disposition. But he found that probable cause had been shown and the defendant had made what were considered damaging admissions. It was conceded by witnesses hot members of the Sam Lee Company that the other Chinamen had met and pass- ed resolutions denouncing the cheap-rate laundrymen. And Moy Chew and another celestial Known as Lee Tuck had been ap- pointed to attend to the Sam Lee Com- pany’s people, Ah Sing being mentioned as the one who was certainly not wanted. One of the witnesses said they were to be “done away with,” and that $2,000 had been subscribed to assist the families of Moy Chew and Lee Tuck in event of their be- coming injured or killed. This informa- tion was elicited from witnesses who ap- peared in the interest of Moy Chew. The probable action of the grand jury was not known to Ah Sing until this md?n- ing, when a Star reporter called on him in “Chinatown” and told him of the rumor. He Felt Badly. “It makes me feel velly sick,” said Sing, who went on to say that bribery had been resorted to by some of his enemies to de- feat the ends of justice. He said he was a poor man and could not pay witnesses, al- though he said he could get some as cheap as $1 each. The “highbinders,” he said, have plenty of money and can afford to pay witnesses big sums of it, but as he is poor and unable to do it, he cannot get justice. Ah Sing was very much surprised at the rapogt of the grand jury’s conclu- sion in the case, and said he wculd hurry up to the otfice of his counsel, Lawyer Aughinbaugh, and see if something could not be done. It 1s known that the granc jury spent several Jjeys investigating the case, and the evidence of a large number of witness- es was heerd. Included in this list were several Chinamen, the detectives, the col- cred women and others. Lawyer Carroll W. Smith, who represents Moy Chew, was also called and questioned. He answered questions asked him about the Chinese so- cleties, but said nothing that had been said in his confidential relations to his cli- ent. It is sald that a man who claims to be familiar with the conduct of Ah Sing when he lived in Caiifornia gave evidence which it is thought had ccnsiderable weight with the graud jury. According to reports, this man said he krew Ah Sing in San Francisce, and that he was associated with those who were kncwn as “high- binders.” All this, of course, Ah Sing de- nies. Not the End. It is thought likely that the grand jury's reported action in the case will by no means end the trouble or heal the breach between the two Chinese societies. The restoration of the union rate is what a ma- jority of the celestials want, and that alone will satisfy the members of the Hop Chung Lung Company. The Sam Lee Company conducts several laundries in the city, but has not cut the price at all of them. So far as outward a@ppearances are concerned, the company seems to have cut the price where their laundry came in competition with one of a member of the other company, and, it is said that some of the 10-cent shirt washers have been forced out of neighborhoods where the cut rate places were established. Charlie Bing, who seems to be one of the principal members of the Sam Lee Com- pany, has talked freely about the Chinese labor troubles and of the alleged conspira- cies. Charlie, who is known in Chinese cireles as Shing Bing, does not do any laundry work himself, but he.depends on the work of the laborers employed to do the washing. Like most Chinamen in the company, he has ne queue and dresses well, presenting the appearance of a Chinese INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS FOR RENT (Rooms). FOR RENT (Stables) FOR RENT (Stores).

In fact, he told a reporter that he did noth- ing much except to have a good time. He says he plays fan tan, dominoes end poker, and has to send money to Boston to sup- port his white wife, who, he says, fs very expensive. He would like to get rid of her altogether, he says, and then he would have more money and could have a better time. Trouble Feared. Bing says there is no reason why the Hop Chung Lung Company should oppose the Sam Lee Company. He thinks his com- pary has a right to charge what it pleases. “What do you pay your laborers?” Bing was asked. “Oh, we give them from $10 to $15 a week and their board, and those who are real experts with the iron sometimes earn as much as $18.” ‘ The reporter suggested that the men lived on @ little rice and tea, and that their eat- ing therefore cost them but little. This, Bing said, is not true. They always have tea in the laundry, and everybody can drink it free of charge, he said, but all the Vhina- men here live well. He pointed out in a dining room, where there was a patr of ducks to be cooked for dinner, as well as vegetables and some ber- ries. ir According to Bing’s figures the pay, in- cluding board and other incidentals, amounts to about $9) for some of the iron- ers, while with others it amounts to only about $60. Irspector Hollinberger has given the Chinese problem some thought, and he sald this morning that he thought the po- lice department should have the services of an intelligent Chinaman to do detective work, as he feared in the future the celes- tials will cause considerable trouble. THE WATCHES RECOVERED. ‘The Men Who Robbed a Store in Ray- light. A Baltimore police sergeant named Bren- nan did good work for the local detectives in the case of robbery of a tray of gold watches from the store of Dominick Rick- enbacher, No. 1213 G street, last week, and now the detectives have the thief in custody and have recovered most of the plurder. When the robbery was committed Thursday afternoon and it was stated that a young colored man. had been seen coming from the store about the time the robbery occurred the police concluded that @ young colored man named William, alias “Blood,” Jones had committed the whole- sale theft, and went at work without de- lay to investigate him. Althodgh Jones is a Washington boy, asis his friend, Edward Poindexter, the police knew that they were also well acquainted in Baltimore, where at lezst one of them had a female friend whom he visited and with whom he spent considerable time. .This was also known to Sergt. Brennan of the Baltimore police force, and when the police here communi- cated with the Baltimore authorities the sergeant went in cearch of the females, feeling satisfied that the men would not be far away. The men were not there when he reached the house, but he learned from the women that Poindexter had ship- ped a satchel to New York by express, and that he had followed the satchel on the train, Inspector Hollinberger was informed of what had happened, and he sent Detective Lacey to New York to arrest the parties and recover the watches if possible. It was learned that Poindexter and Jones had started for New York together, but had become separated in Jersey City. Poin- dexter crossed the river to New York city and Jones purchased a return ticket with money he obtained by pawning some of his clothes. Detective Lacy reached the express office in time to meet Poindexter when he called for the satchel containing the fourteen watches, and both Poindexter and the satchel were taken to Chief Conlin’s office bet await the arrival of a requisition from ere. Jones returned home and surrendered to Sergt. Smith*in South Wasington yester- day. He then denied the charge, but ad- mitted that he had gone “over to Jersey City with Poindexter at the Jatter’s re- quest. As the robbery was committed in the first precinct the prisoner was taken there to be held to await developments. There he talked to Precinct Detective He- lan and Policeman Flather and to them he told the story of the robbery, making a full confession and telling where he had disposed of the missing watches. the witnesses were taken before the grand jury, and, as soon as an indict- ment ts returned, a-requisitign will be sent to New York for Poindexter. ——__ THE COURTS.
