CURRENT LONDON’ GOSSIP (Copyrighted by the Associated Press.) LONDON, Avgust 10.-It is more than probable that his in-perial majesty of Ger- many, Ksiser Wilhelm, hes enjoyed him- self more than ary dozen persons have at Cowes this week. His ficating palace, the imperial yacht Hohenzollern,was, as usual, the attraction of all, and the emperor, bearing with good health and spirits, browred by tke sun and full of energy, went here and there and everywhere, ob-' served by everybcdy, admired by even the most dyspeptic. It is difficult to feel anything but ad- miration for the handsome young ruler of. the German empire, who seems to slip into different perscnalities with the ease that he cherges clothes. One day he Is a Ger- man general, stern, finely trained, posted on all the tricks of war; the next day he is a Germar admiral, a British dragoon or a British admiral, a yachtsman or an engi- neer, a boat builder or a warship con- structor, a canal builder or a song writer, an author or a musician—everything; but always perfect in-his part, well posted on everythit g. é Indeed, it would seem that the kaiser en- jJoyed this year’s visit to Cowes more than his previous visits. His comings and go- ings during the past week have been of a far less fcrmal character than those of other years. Consequently his majesty has been able to devote a great deal more time to yachting and to private visits to the va- rious yachts assembled at Ccwes, and he has become more popular than ‘ever be- fore. The first impressions formed here of Em- peror William were that he was a very much stuck-up yourg man, of little or no real ability. Now people are beginning to see that the German emperor is, when the occasion demands it, keenly interested in everything happcr.ing, a student of almost everything under the sun, and a “hail fel- low, well met,” when necessary. But, al- though Emperor William has been enjoy- irg himself immensely at Cowes, he has, at rroper intervals, been as hard at work as ever 07 affairs of state, rothing, appar- ently, escaping that untiring mind. Immediztely atter his urrival off Cowes he hud a private cable laid between the Hohenzollern and the post office at Cowes, the latter, in turn, being connected with London and the cable to Germany. So his magesty was able to keep himself con- stantly well informed upon state affairs, and ihe messages exchanged between him- self and his representatives In Germany were forwarded and teceived as promptly and as safely as if the emperor had Leen at Potsdam instead of at Cowes. The Kaiser's Ten Party. The tea party which the emperor gave on Thursday on hoard the Hohenzollern, arranged by himself, was to have been a most charming function, but, like many others, it was marred hy the rain. His majesty invited the elite of yachting so- clety to his “afternoon tea” on the prom- enade deck of the imperial yacht. This deck was luxuriously carpeted for the oc- casion and dotte1 with pretty litde tea tables, while the whole vessel was fragrant With the perfume of a rich profusion of chotce flowers sent by Queen Victoria from the conservatories of Osborne House. The fine band of the Hohenzollern played as only that marine band can play, and every- thing possible was done to make the re- ception a brilliant and memorsble event. His majesty personally received his guests at the Hohenzollern’s gangway, and they included the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of York, the Princess Louise and her husband, the Marquis of Lorne, and all the members of the aristocracy now at Cowes, particularly those who were introduced to the emperor during the re- cent series of festivities at Hamburg and at Kiel, upon the occasion of the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal. ‘The brilliant costumes of the ladies, how- ever, did not show up to great advantage beneath the leaden sky and moisture- laden air, and though the event passed off very ‘well it would have been much more lively and attractive had the sun deigned to smile upon the Solent and its adjacent shores. The emperor could have been seen nearly every day in the grounds of the Royal Yacht Sgggdron Castle, lookimg a thorough yachts: in his serge jacket? yachting cap, white duck pants and russet leather shoes. Mr. Gladstone's Speec! Mr. Gladstone's speech at Chester on ‘Tuesday last on the Armenian question has, naturally, attracted considerable attention, not only in England, but throughout Eu- rope. In many quarters it is looked upon as being a sharp slap at Lord Rosebery, the ex-premier, and as directly supporting Salisbury in any steps the new government may take toward coercing the porte into doing something toward reform in Armenia. On the other hand, some of the London newspapers, the Post for instance, class Mr. Gladstone’s utterances as being “dan- gerously mischievous,” and as likely to Kindle civil war in Turkey, which, accord- ing to the Post, may spread into an Kuro- pean conflagration and eventually threaten India with a renewal of the horrible scenes witnessed during the Sepoy mutiny of 15 But the Times took an entirely differen’ view of the speech, remarking, editorially: “He did net say a word calculated to hamper Lord Salisbury’s government. His impassioned rhetoric did not go beyond facts. If the speech assists, as it doubtless will, in bringing about the desired consum- mation, he will be rewarded for an effort, CHURCH NOTICE: BAPTIST.

Shaded areas are regions where rain or snow has fallen during preceding twelve hours. Small arrows fly with the wind. areas of high and low barometer.

Forecast till 8 p.m. Sunday—For New England and eastern New York, generally fair; slightly warmer in the interior Sunday morning; southwesterly to westerly winds. For the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, generally fair, pre- ceded by showers this afternoon on the coast; continued high temperature; south- westerly winds. An examination of the map shows a marked change from yesterday's map. To- day a ridge of high pressue extends from the south Atlantic coast and the north Pa- cific coast. The low area in the Missouri valley has not moved away, but has filled up, and the transfer of conditions across the Rockies has given a slight high pres- sure in its place. Unfortunately, this changed conilition does not mean very much relief to the heated condition of the east- ern states. The atmosphere still continues stationary, and if this ridge of high pres- sure gradually collects in the southeast the heated term will continue. The enly pros- pect of relief exists in a possibility that ‘he Missouci valley high area may retain an independent existence and move along the lakes. In such case the counter winds from the two highs would give frequent showers and cooler weather. Rain has fallen in the lower Missouri valley and in the Red River of the South valley. J The temperature will continue high till Monday, and possibly till! Tuesday. There is a slight chance of the intense heat to- day causing a heat thunder storm, and the prospect for such storm is better tomorrow than today. Tide Table.

The letter which was published on Wed- tesday last from Mr. Justin McCarthy, ap- pealing for party unity among the Irish members of parliament, has fallen rather flat here, if only'from the fact that while making the appeal Mr, McCarthy took the cpportunity of making a hot attack upon Mr. T. M. Healy, which is not calculated to further unity to ary great degree. The well-wishers of. Ireland deplore all such discord, and look forward to the time when the Irish membeys of parliament will really come togather {and attempt to do something for the goad cf Ireland instead of fighting among themselves for the lead- ership of the Irish parliamentary party. Until all such petty jealousies are com- pletely buried, littie or'nothing can be done for Ireland by those'wh) pretend to be secking for harmony. At least this is the opinion recently expressed by a gentle- man who has some kngwledge of the inside workings of the Irish parliamentary party. Personal Notes. Ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp is staylag at, the Victoria Hotel. He visited Oxford at the beginning of this week with a party of friends, and he has, been invited to be pres- ent in the speaker's gallery of the house of commons on Monday. next, in order to wit- ness the opening of parliament, an event which is looked forward to with consider- able interest. Mr. C. L. Bonney, vice president of the Chicago General railroad, has returned to London from a tour of the chief conti- nental cities, and sails for New York to- day. He will make a report to Mayor Swift on his return home. Mr. Murat Halstead of Brooklyn, N. Y., has had a pleasant time in London. When questioned hy @ representative of the As- sociated Press upon American politics the veteran editor said: “I think that Mr. Whitney has the best chance of the democratic nomination. The question of a third term was forever set- ued when Gen. Grant’s nomination was defeated. Gov. Morton is certain _to have the support of New York, and Gov. Mce- Kinley would have an enormous majority in Ohio.” As to British politics, Mr. Halstead re- marked: “I think that England is -irifting toward an imperial policy, which, by the bye, seems to be the policy of al Europe, with the exception of France.’ AMONG LABOR BODIES.

Though Stevens has been playing fast ten- nis so far, Larned never gave him a chance, but went right at him and won eighteen games right off the reel, Stevens getting only the opening game. Larned hit the ball deep into the corners with won- derful speed and followed his drives right up to the net. His smashing was splendid and Stevens couldn’t get round half quick- ly enough. Larned displayed none of his usual list- lessness, but kept things moving through- out. The defeat of one leader was quickly followed by the downfall of the other, parade, but the making of further arrang. ments was postponed until Monday nigh when a special meeting, which has bee! called for the purpose, will be held. An- nour.cement was made, however, that the union has secured the Fort Myer Band to head it in the parade. The report of the finance committee showed that the treasury is in a spleniid condition.

Both men were in excellent form and the placing was sure and speedy on both sides. Chace kept up his good work to the end, but Wrenn’s great exertions in returning Chace’s hot drives left him rather Hmp toward the end. The champion made lots of “tired breaks” in the last two sets and Chace won them easily. Both the first and second sets on the other hand were wonderfully close. Parker lost his match with Foote in the morning, the heat being too much for the New Yorker, who has shown inability to stand a hard’ match ail through the tournament. There is now a quartet of experts tied for first prize. No matter how the remain- ing games come out it will be impossible to avoid a tie, as the leaders are the-only players schedvled. The Wrenn-Stevens postponed match will be played off as a two out of three match. Wrenn wanted to have one set decide it, but Stevens preferred to play the match over again, so a compromise was agreed upon. The scores follow: Arthur E. Foote, Yale, heat W.

REMARKS AT A LABOR MEETING Addresses Made Last Evening to the Electrical Workers. DANGEROUS LEADERS “There are men today in this city at- tempting to appear as labor leaders who had they lived three centuries earlier would have carried the fagots, lighted the fire and gladly joined in the howls of the mob around the burning victims,” said Mr. Milford Spohn of the Bricklayers’ Union in a speech last night at an open meeting of Local Union No. 26, Electrical Workers. The statement was applauded to the echo, as were many other of the most striking portions of Mr. Spohn's effective address. The subject of Mr. Spohn’s speech was “The Advantage of Thorough and Har- mcnious Urio1 He warned his hearers against so-called labor leaders who ally themselves to labor organization from se!fish motives, who lend themselves to others outside for re- ward, and who by that means create dis- sension within the ranks of labor and de- feat the great object for which organiza. tions should be maintained—harmonious, honest, business-like relations. “They presume to tell you,” Mr. Spohn said, “where you shall purchase; what paper you shall read; what kind of litera- ture you shall favor; what they dislike you must dislike; what they approve you must approve.” Labor Organizations and Newspapers. After the applause which followed Mr. Spehn’s address had subsided, President John M. Berger introduced Mr. E. M. Blake of the Typographical Union. Mr. Blake spoke on “Organized Labor in the District.” He talked at some length of what has be2a accomplished in the past by cohesion and co-operation of the various societies of organized labor in the District, especially in the matter of legislation, but also in other directions. “But lately,” said Mr. Blake, “some of our members seein to have lost their heads, judging from the position they have taken in regard to the Washington press, for it must be apparent to every one who exer- cises his common sense that the proper course of organized iabor lies in the direc- tion of diplomatic dealing with those forces which, to a greater or less extent, control public sentiment and public act‘on! “Principal among the powers by which the mankind of today is swayed is the newspaper press, and in this city The Star is unquestionably the most intiuential journal. Among some of us there has ex- isted a fiction which had it that The Star was opposed to organized labor, but not until recently has there been much of utterance to that effect. If we want to be fair we must bear in mind the solid sup- port given us by The Star extending back for many years. Let us remember that it was the journal that aided us in securing important legisiation. It was with us em- phatically and persistently while we fought for the eight-hour law; it was just as fre- quently and as strongly in evidence when we demanded free text books in the public schools; its support never wavered when we called upon Congress to give us increas- ed school facilities; it has never ceased to argue in favor of a free public circulating library. Other Washington papers, too, have been our friends on occasions when we needed every friend we could get, so that it is not too much to say that we owe a great deal to the Washington press gener- ally. ‘It is undouotedly true that at times the press hes declined to publish statements given it by offices of labor organizations, and these refusuls have uroused a great deal of animosity. Investigation has satis- fied me that there was behind those refus. els a business policy to which we could not righteously offer any objection. Acting urder the advice cf their attorneys, the press has refused and doubtless will contin- ue to refuse to publish any matter which is libelous, and it does so for the good and sufficient reason that a judgment against it would certainly be collected. Many a man who knows notaing of the law of libel writes a statement for a newspaper and then wonders why the newspaper will not print it without alteration. When we are indignant because of the injusiice of an employer and express ourselves in terms personal and libelous, we must not expect a carefully conducted newspaper to take precisely our view of the matter and give publicity to language which would surely result in bringing the editor of that news- paper into court. The editor has to look at both sides of the question. I hold, then, that it is impolitic to antagonize the press, because the press has been, and, I believe, may be in the near future, of great service to us in assisting us to secure increased school facilities; text books for higher grades; investigations of the violations of the eight-hour law and its rigid enforce- ment; abolishment of contract system on public- works; wiping off the statutes of what is known as the organic law that now governs the Commissioners in the let- ting out of contracts, said law compelling them, in estimates of $5,000 and over, to ad- vertise for bids in at least three cities out- side the District, thus importing labor into the District at the expense of the home mechanics and laborers; protecting life and limb of mechaaics in the construction of proper scaffolding; and a great many need- ed reforms can be secured if we have the influence of the press behind us.” In conclusion Mr. Blake said: “He con- sidered the most important matter of leg- islation of interest to the District was the abolition of the present contract system.” Like the speech of Mr. Spohn, that of Mr. Blake was punctuated with applause, and after Mr. Blake had concluded his vigorous and pointed remarks, several of the members of the union made speeches indorsing what had been said by both fpeakers, and upon motion the latter were given a rising vote of thanks. Some Business Transacted. ‘The business of the union transacted last night was large in volume, but mostly of an executive character. Mr. George Posey was elected an honcrary member, and Mr. John C. Rau was elected and initiated as an axtive member. A letter was read from Grand President of the National Brotherhood H. W. Sher- man of Rochester, N. Y., congratulating Local Union, No. 26, of Washington on hay- ing secured the coming national convention of the order. It was announced that the vote cast at its last meeting by Local Union, No. 38, of Cleveland was the first that passed the number necessary to secure the coveted prize for Washington, and a letter will probably be sent to the Cleveland union thanking them for having been the means of breaking a weste-n combination, which was trying to secure the convention for either St. Louis, Chicago or Milwaukee. It was also announced that the election of a delegate and alternate to represent the local union of Washington in the coming convention will pve held Friday evening next. The convention committee will meet tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Se A New Buyer. S. Kann, Sons & Co. have engaged the services of Mr. Heber Gerow as buyer.
