UNION VETERAN UNION Important Work-Transacted at the Reoent Meson pete. Weak Strong. Proposition to Tsansfer the Pension Bureau to the War Department—A YER’S Monument te Gen. Smith. THE ONLY GOLD MEDAL > Sarsaparilla At the national convention of the Union Veteran Union, held at Lima, Ohio, from August 6th to 10th, inclusive, resolutions Has Cured were adopted thanking Public Printer -| Thomas E. Benedict for the manner in Others which he has treated the veterans of the late war, especially members of the union. And Will Cure You. Resolutions were also adopted expressing the appreciation of the veterans of the sys- tem introduced in the War Department by Col. F. C. Ainsworth, officer in charge of the records and pensions bureau, which make a prompt adjudication of claims of pensioners possible. Also a resolution fa- voring the transfer of the pension office to the War Department, where the military and medical recoras are now on file. A committee was appointed to urge upon Congress the necessit¥ for some legislation in reference to pension matters. This com- mittee is composed of the following: Gen. Baker, ex-member of Congress of Rochester, N. Y.; Gen. George J. Oaks, past national commander, U. V. U., of Rochester, N. Y.; Gen. Long, Department of Michigan; Gen. Bond of District of Columbia, Capt. ‘Whit- ney, District of Columbia; Gen. S. S. Yoder, national commander; Gen. Wood, depart- ment commander, of Massachusetts; Gen. Jacklin of Michigan, Gen. Ritchey of New York, and others. Work of the New Commander. Gen. Louis F. Ellis of Lima, Ohio, was elected commander-in-chief, U. V. U., for the ensuing year; H. L. Street of Washing- tos, D. C., deputy commander-in-chief, and Col. Bissell, second deputy commander-in- chief. Gen. Ellis was directed by the union to order the committee appointed to urge upen Congress the necessity for transfer- ring the pension office to the War Depart- ment, and other matters to call upon the committee of pensions of the House and Senate, and present to those bodies their views in reference to the transfer of the pension office, and to prepare a bill some- what on the lines of the service pension bill, which would result, if passed, in doing away with the pension egencies, an officer being detailed from the retired list of the regular army not higher than the rank of captain, who would be assigned to the var- icus congressional districts of the country, and who would muster the pensioners every two months, making returns to the War Department, whereupon the paymas- ter of the army would pay these pension- ers according to returns. It is claimed that this transfer of the pension office to the War Department would save the gov- ernment at least $11,000,000. A Morument to Gen. Smith Gen. Ellis was also directed to take such means as might be necessary to procure requisite funds to erect a monument 40 Gen. Green-Ciay Smith, late chaplain of the national command, this monument to be a fitting tribute to the dead general as well as a credit to the organization. Gen. Ellis has instructed his deputy commander in this city to transmit a copy of the resolutions referring to Col. Ains- werth and Public Printer Benedict to those gentlemen; also a copyjof the resolution re- ferring to Gen. Smith-to Mrs, Smith. The veterans were @reatly pleased with the character of their reception at Lima, nearly every house of the town, whether of the rich or of thelpoor, being decorated for the occasion. Ar_impressive feature of the ceremonies of the union was one con- nected with the chaplain’s chair, which had been occupied by. the late Gen. Green Clay Smith. This chair was decorated with a suitable floral emblem in memory of the late chaplain, and was) ¢arried through the streets while a dirge Was rendered by the band. It was directed) that the chair be ferwarded, as a memento, to Mrs. Green Clay Smith. cai The meeting at Lima is regarded as one of the most important~ever held by the Union. Veteran Union, and as a result of the resolutions there adopted, it is expected that an important moye will be made dur- ing the coming winter to influence Congress to carry out the wishes of the union,as indi- cated in the resolutions adopted.

United States Minister Willis sent to the Hawalian government July 21 a request for reparation to be made to one James Dur- rell, an American citizen, on account of his causeless arrest and imprisonment, during the prevalency of martial law last January. Minister SWANSDOWN TRIMMING, 50c. YD.

In addition to the allegations set forth by Mr. Willis Durrell claims damages for $25,000 on account of injury done to his bus- iness, his feelings and his reputation. Mr. Hatch read the letter of Mr. Willis in the Senate July 26. In answer to a ques- tion on the subject, he stated that the gov- ernment would investigate the matter and send a reply to the communication. Mar- shal Hitchcock has been compiling the evi- dence on record in his office against Dur- rell, but declined to state the nature of it. He stated, however, that his report would show that the evidence against Durrell was abundant and would fully satisfy the Amer- ican people that he was properly arrested and confined. He said that Durrell was three-fourths American Indian and one- fourth negro, having kinky hair. The mar- shal added that the affidavit contained false statements about the diet and the treat- ment in the prison, as well as being untruo about the complainant's innocence of trea- sonable language. ‘The store specified in the affidavit is a small shed, a few feet square, on the cor- ner of the Queen Emma premises, renting for $12 a month. The business in soda, milk shakes, cigars and fruit may have amounted to $5 or $7 a day. It belongs to the grade. of the proverbial peanut stand. Minister Castl> Coming. Major J. H. Wodehouse, formerly the British minister at Honolulu, left for Eng- land August 1, accompanied by his fam- ily. Previous to his departure he requested permission to see Queen Lilloukalani. The request was denied by Minister Hatch. The principal reason for not allowing Wodehouse to see the prisoner is on ac- count of his attitude toward the govern- ment. He is charged with having repeat- edly meddled in its affairs, and has treated it with contempt on different occasions. Wm. R. Castle, the new Hawailan minis- ter to Washington, left for Vancouver the same day en route to Washington. ‘A resolution was adopted on the 20th of July by the legislature reciting that the senate and house of representatives of the republic of Hawail declare anew their fealty to the policy of annexation of the country to the United States of America. To Relieve the Baltimore. The cruiser Olympia will leave San Fran- cisco about the middle of this week, going by way of Henolulu'to the Asiatic station to relieve the Baltimore as flagship of the station. It is stated at the department that there have been no orders given the Olympia to make a rapid trip across the Pacific, or even part of the way. It is probable that the report to that effect originated in the talk of the officers, who assert that the Olympia is as fast as the Columbia. At the ee it Is said that the Olympia ts fo remain on the Asi- atic station for three years and that the department will rot risk an injury to her by sending her at.full speed across the Pa- elfic. rate BEDS, & Brass 9 Up. —They're the neatest, cleanest and most desirable beds for any season.

Consul Grimke, at Santo Domingo, has sent to the State Department a translation of a new tariff law which went into effect July 1. This provides for a 3 per cent ud- dition to all taxes laid on imports to the Domirican republic. The additional tax is to be maintaired serarately from other taxes and intrusted to the consul of the King of the Netherlards, or by order of the executive to a consul of any other friendly nation until the payment of the obligation for which it was levied. Consul Grimke says the new tax is intended to discharge certain French claims against the republic. Col. Corbin Better. Col. H. C.

The acting secretary of the navy today filled the vacancies at the New York navy yard caused by dismissals resulting from irregularities developed during the recent investigation conducted by Lieut. Knapp. The appointments are as follows: John B. Cawthorne of Philadelphia, to be master shipfitter outside, at $7 a day; Thomas E. Crossley of New York, to be master ship- fitter inside, at $6 a day, and Wm. H. Rahn of New York, to be master plumber at $0 a day. These appointments are the result of competitive examinatiors. ————+e+ Thought It Was an Earthquake, From the New York Tribune. Something broke a large number of panes of glass at Coney Island yesterday and the residents there declare it was the concus- sicn from the big guns at Sandy Hook, which were in use testing armor plate. There was ccnsiderable excitement at Co- ney Island until this explanation was given. Mony thought an earthquake had occurred. At the Palace Beach Hotel many panes of glass were broken, and on the western exposure of the building some of the sashes were started. There was con- siderable excitement about the hotel at the time, and every one left the building. The glass was all blown inward, and in some cases the pieces were thrown against the opposite walls. ALMOST A RIOT Great Excitement Oreated on the Steamer Gity of Richmond. Excursionists Object to a Man’s Im- prisonment and Release Him—A Lawyer Held for Trial. There was an exciting scene on the steam- er City of Richmond last night while she was making her way in the direction of this city. That there was not a serious riot is not the fault of those who participated in the trouble. The difficulty originated in the bar room, and started between the colored man behind the bar and a customer named Taylor. Like every other story, there are two sides to this one, and both sides will be fully heard if the case ever comes to trial in a court of competent jurisdiction. The man Taylor was put in the hold, but he remained there only a few minutes, for a crowd, alleged to have been led by James A. Taliaferro, the lawyer and real estate man at 503 E street, were with the prisoner, and at their earnest solicitation Taylor Kicked a panel from a door, so it is claimed, and then he was rescued. As already stated, the affair started in the bar room, when Taylor went in and bought beer. There was some question about paying for the beer raised by the bartender, and it is alleged that the colored man used insulting language. This Taylor resented by using force, and the bartender retorted by using a heavy beer mallet. Then the fight was on and the deck hands and others assisted :n dropping Taylor out of sight, and it was claimed that he fell through into the hold with such force that he was severely shak- en up. Others Join in the Fray. Lawyer Taliaferro was there and wit- nessed the affair, which in no manner met with his approval. There were others there and all seemed of the same opinion, for there were cries of “Hang him” and “Kill him” when Special Officer McCauley was getting Taylor in the hoid. 5 A speech was made by the young iawyer, in which he called upon the passengers to liberate Taylor. He denounced the action of the steamboat men, and> his hearers sancticned every word he said. While he was thus engaged the prisoner was liber- ated and even after that Taliaferro con- tinued his speech. When the boat reached Alexandria, which is a port of entry, no one was turned over to the authorities, but when the steamer reached here, Taliaferro and Francis Page were placed under arrest and taken to the fourth precinct station, on a charge cf in- citing riot on the high seas. This morning Lawyer Taliaferro was taken before United States Commissioner Cc. S. Bundy and arraigned on a warrant charging in a generaf way the alieged of- fer mentioned. The warrant charged the violation of no particular statute and when the case was called the defendant asked fer a continuance until he could prepare his defense, but this application was denied, the commissioner thinking he had no such power in the matter. Under the circumstances the defendant was forced to have the case disposed of in some way or go to jail, and so he decided to waive an examination. The Boat Captain’s Story. Capt. Posey and Special Watchman Mc- Cauley were present, and they told the commissioner of the case as they under- stood it. When the trouble started Capt. Posey was at dinner, and he went out to quell the disturbance. Taliaferro, he said, made threats that he would shoot, and put his hand behind him, as if he intended to draw a pistol. McCauley followed the captain, briefly of what happened. Taliaferro then told his story, but not under oath. When he saw McCauley and others throw Taylor down the hold his in- dignation was excited, and he conchided that the man had been unjustly treated. He admitted that he indulged in speech- iaking and told of the rescue of Taylor. Commissioner Bundy he!d him in $500 se- curity for the action of the grand jury, and John A. Butler became his surety. After the case had been thus disposed of Commissioner Bundy had some doubts about his jurisdiction in the matter and made a search of the statutes for a law to cover the alleged offense, but had not found any when a Star reporter called on him, about noon. He said that he sent word to the district attorney's office for a representa- tive of the government to be present at the hearing, but no one responded, and so the hearing had to proceed without the presence of a prosecuting attorney. The commissioner said that if he failed to find a law he would not send the papers to court, but wouid destroy them. Mr. Colegrove's Siatement. “We have carried over 20,000 people on our steamer this season,” said Mr. Russell Colegrove today, “and have had occasion to make only five arrests. This man made an unnecessary and unprovoked seene on the boat. The person he was proposing to de- Yend needed no defense; he was an employe of the company, and as he was unruly we put him in the coal hole to take care of him. He niakes no complaint of his treat- ment, and is at work today. I would like to add that erder will be maintained on our steamer at all cost, and ladies and children will be fully protected.” —_——__ ROBBERIES REPORTED. telling How Mrs. Carroll's Burial Money Was ‘Taken. Saturday night burglars entered the house of Mrs. Carroll, No. 469 L street southwest, and stole $85. Mrs. Carroll is an aged woman, and was saving the money to defray her funeral expenses when she dies. The money was paid her by an in- surance company at the time of her son’s death and she kept it in her trunk. When the thief visited her house he took the trunk out in the woodshed and robbed it. Complaint of the robbery has been made to the police. E. R. Madden of 1036 New Jersey avenue northvest has made complaint of a bold robbery. According to his statement the slats were cut from the front blinds of his house, and when an entrance had been ef- fected the thief went to the room where Mrs. Madden, his wife, was sleeping and took $40 from her stocking. She was wear- ing the stocking when the robbery was committed. A..B. Frisby of 222 Jefferson street, Ana- costa, complains of the theft of $200. The money was taken from his store at No. 151 Harrison street. W. 8. Carrington would like the police to recover for him his umbrella. The um: brella, he reports, was stolen from thi Metropolitan Hotel lobby yesterday. Last week a colored woman was given a situation at the house of A. F. Kingsley, No. $03 °H street. She remained there only a short time, and after she left it was dis- covered that some clothing was missing. David Epstein of 483 I street southwest hired a colored man Saturday to carry a valise for him. He now wants the man arrested and the valise recovered. The valise contained some wearing apparel. John F. Ferris, No. 314 Pennsylvania av- enue, complains that his house was ent2red Friday and robbed of $4.75. ———— Microscopists Furloughed. The light business now carried on by pork-packing establishments in various cities has resulted in the furlough of about 150 assistant microscopists of the Agri- cultural Department. Their work is restricted to microscopical examination of pork intended for export to Germany and France. All are women, who receive $50 a month, and their fur- lough will expire on the resumption of or- dinary activity in the trade with the two countries. The following offices are affected: Chi- cago, Cincinnati, South Omaha, Milwau- kee, Kaneas City, Buffalo and Hammond, Ind. —___—_-e—____ Gone to Atlanta, Dr. Dabney, assistant secretary of agri- culture, has gone to Atlanta to assume his duties there as chairman of the govern- ment board of management of the exposi- tion.

All the officials and employes of the Eck- ington and Belt Line railroads visited the residence of Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf, the re- tiring general manager of the companies, after the Saturday night traffic had ceased, and testified their appreciation of him in a marked manner. It was 1:30 o'clock Sun- day morning when a line of electric cars loaded down with railroad men stopped in front of Mr. Schoepf's house. The visitors massed themselves in front and called for Mr. Schoepf. When he appeared, Mr. H. K. Gray, secretary and treasurer of the roads, made a neat address, ‘and presented Mr. Schoepf with a handsomely bound book con- taining resolutions which had been passed and signed by all the officials and employes of the two systems, and a massive solid silver bowl and tray. ‘The resolutions, which were read, recited the regret the men felt at the departure of Mr. Schoepf from the general management of the two companies and stated “that we take this opportunity to assure Mr. Schoepf of our personal affection for him as a man, our admiration for his steady integrity of purpose and our gratitude for his unfalter- ing championship of our best interests; that we recognize the wisdom of his man- agement and applaud the fairness and dis- crimination with which he exercised the important duties confided to him, and especiaily his eminent justice in the main- tenance of the discipline necessary to the proper management of the: roads.” They also congratulated the owners of the new electric road between Baltimore and Wash- ington, of which Mr. Schoepf has become the general manager, upon securing the services of one “whose eminent accom- plishments as an engineer, unrivaled spirit of progress, unceasing vigor and applica- tion, and splendidly balanced judgment, wise foresight and keen discernment equip him in a superlative degree to successfully administer the important matters devoted care.” Mr. Schoepf responded ina few words, in which he told the gathering that it was to the loyalty and efforts of those present that his success as general manager had been due. He then shook each caller by the hand and thanked him personaily.- The silver pieces were of exquisite workman- ship, and upon each was inscribed: “Pre- sented to W. Kelsey Schoepf, vice president and general manager, by the officers and employes of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and the Belt railway companies, August 10, 1895."" —_—>__ A Steamboat Company Incorporated.

The Aid of Congress Amplifies Its Facilitics and a Number of Sta- dents Enjcy Its Privileges. Dr. J. E. Rankin, president of the board of trustees of Howard University, today fil- ed with the Secretary of the Interior the an- nual report of the board on the conduct of ths instituticn during the year past. The report states that the year has beet one of perfect harmony and anity, not a single case of discipline having been re- ported to the faculty. The 587 students come from forty-two different states and from the West Indies and Central Amer- ica. In the theological department, sup- ported by the American Missionary Asso- ciation, there have teen thirty-nine stu- dents, of whom six. have graduated. In the medical department there have been 200 students, including thirteen pharma- ceutical, thirteen dental and fifty-five train- ing to become nurses. The latter feature is due to the work undertaken by Dr. D, H. Williams of the Freedmen’s Hospital. In the law Gepart- ment, of which the United States this year undertakes the entire support, there have been thirty-three students, with fifteen graduates and four post-graduates. Lec- tures are expected from Justices Harlan and Gray. Judge S. E. Baldwin of Con- recticut has dvring the year rendered great assistance by a course of lectures. The ccllege department had _ thirty-three students, the preparatory ninety-two and the normal one hundred and eighty-eight. In all departments good work has been the rule of the year. A large nuinber of Students received instruction in music, car- pentry, tinning, printing, bookbinding and sewing. ‘Through the generosity of Mr. Andrew Langdon of Buffalo, N. Y., prizes were given in several of the manual de- partments. Tuition is required only in the medical department. Room rent in all the departments is $15 a year and board $8 a month. In*all the academic departments aid ts given all students. The year witnessed the completion of the Andrew E. Rankin mem- orial chapel, the gift of Mrs. Andrew E. Rankin, now Mrs. H. O. Cushman of Bos- ton, and Mr. J. H. Stickney of Baltimore, each of whom gave $5,000 for the purpose. The trustees have voted $7,500 the present year for improving the facilities of the medical department, the principal feature desired being sufficient lecture rooms. Of the $29,500 granted by Congress, $23,000 has been used for salaries of officers, teachers and employes. There was spent for tools, materials and expenses for the industrial department $3,000; for the library, $1,300, including $1,000 for the law library; for the laboratory, $1,000, and for improvement of grounds, $500. The trustees express their grateful recog- nition cf the genercsity of Congress in us- suming the whole support of the law schcol, and they announce that so long as this is the case the tuition shall be free. The amount appropriated for the uni- versity this year was $36,500. The trustees ask a like amount for the ensuing year, a $1,000 additional for improving the law prary. The university received from rents during the year, $5,107; from invested funds, $8,492; fi the American Missionary Association, $4,475; from room rents, $1,364; from tuition in medical department, $6,771, and from tuition in the law department, $1,216—the total receipts being $57,610. —————2 Baby Stewart has died, being the eleventh victim of the missionary massacre at Liwaseng. — DIED.
