DETAILS OF THE GREAT GATHERING Washington's Notable Delegation to the Event. AN ATTRACTIVE TRIP A week from tomorrow several hundreds of the Knights Templar of Washington will enter upon a week of what is intended to be a series of uninterrupted pleasures. The occasion is the twenty-sixth triennial con- clave of the Knights Templar of the United States at Boston, and for the entertainment of the visiting knights who are expected to be at the “hub” during the week of the meeting the Boston Knights Templar have made the most exhaustive preparations. For many weeks past the triennial com- mittee, headed by Right Eminent Sir Knight Samuel C. Laurence, grand com- mander of Massachusetts and Khode Isl- and, have worked night and day, for they remember the conclave of 1889, at Wash- ington, when there were 30,000 swords flashing in the sunlight on Pennsylvania avenue, and that at Denver, three years ago, when there were even a greater num- ber in line, and they are predicting that there will be at least 50,000 knights in line and fully three times as many sightseers along the line of march. Going From Here. The representation from this city will be large, and, althougi the names of all who will go to Boston to attend the great event are not as yet known, still it can be safely stated that the aggregate will reach into the hundreds, not including the larger number of ladies who will accompany their husbands or fathers. Of this great gathering Washington Com- mandery, No. 1, Eminent Sir Harrison Dingman, P- C.,” will contribute about 200 knights; Cotunci@ Commandery, No. Eminent Sir Frank 2. Thomas, com- mander, 250; Potomac Commau® Eminent Sir Webster Vinson, comm.cnder, and De Mol: . 4, Eminent Sir W. alliher, commander, 150, The entire party will be in charge of’ Samuel C. Thompson, generalissimo. The knights will assemble In citizens’ dress at the Baltimore and Ohio station at W am. Sunday, August 25. Here two s cial trains of the Royal Blue line, ¥ Pullman s! ten minutes th pers, which will be started at interval, will be in waiting, and, by making a very fast run, will land the pilgrims in Providence, R. L, shortly before $ o'clock Monday morning. Washington Commandery has secured the of the Mount Pleasant Drum yhich will accompany them from hington, and Columbia Commandery engaged the Germania Band of Boston, which is said to be the finest band in New England. De Molay and Potomac Com- manderies will also each have a band, but have not as yet secured any, feeling conti- dent, as they have been assured that they will be able to get what they want when they reach Boston. Arriving at Pro dence at § a.m. Monday, the knights, after a brief delay, will pro- ceed to Boston, where the commandes 3 will be received by Boston Commas The Knights en assured ze in the pil- the headquarters of the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, w will be at the Hotel Bruns- wick, will be open at all times, and, with all the other visiting Sir Knights, they will be furnished with tickets for themselves and ladies who accompany them io ex- and escorted to its hotel. Templar of Washington have that to all of them who eng: grimage cursions which are to be giyen on the €ygnus, a large steamer, and one of the most magnificent running cut of Boston. The Grand Parade. The great parade will take place on the following day, and in the procession the Washington commanderies have been as- signed a very henorable and conspicuous place. The line will be made up into thir- teen divisions, and the knights from this city will be in the second and immediately in the rear of the carriages containing the officers and members of the grand encamp- ment. The route of march will be through some of the most noted streets in the city, among which may be named Common- Weaith avenue, Boylston street, which is sald to be the most crooked of Boston's many crooked streets, Huntington avenue equally as well known. At Blackstone Square the column will be reviewed by Gov. Greenhalge of M. chusetts and the officers of the Grand En- campment of Knights ‘Templar of the United States; and at Adams Square by Mayor Curtis of Boston and the officers of the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The Competitive Deitl. The grand exhibition drill, in which Co- lumbia Commandery ts to participate, and, it is hoped by the members, will carry off ail the honors, begins on the Boston base ball grounds at 10 a.m., Wednesday. In this there will compete besides Columbia Commandery of Washington Detroit Com- mandery, No. 1, Detroit, Mich., Eminent Sir Arba M. Seymour, commander; St. Bec- nard Commandery, No. 35, Chicago, Ill., Eminent Sir Adam Henry Johnston, com- ander: See , No. 15, Troy, ‘an Pelt, com mander; Reed Comma vo. 6, Dayton, Ohio, Eminent Sir George F. Kuhns, com- mander; the Minneapolis Drill Corps, Min- Minn., Right Eminent ‘A. M. commander, and a drill corps in mplar uniform, known as the Little Commandery, from the Masonic Widows and Orphans’ Home at Louisville, Ky., un- der the direction of Sir H. B. Grant. Tt is expected that in this drill Columbia will make a magnificent showing. Some years ago the commandery had a drill team whose fame, although it never entered any prize contes was known throughout the length and breadth of the United States. As a commandery Columbia enjoys the reputation of being one of the best drilled In the entire country. Of late years Co- lumbia has rot F very great attention to the tactics, but having received an in- vitation to take part in the drill the mem- bers do not Intend that their friends shall be disappointed in any respect. As a mat- ter of considerable preparation has been made by them for the drill, and for some time past they have been drilling several evenings each week. Columb Gain. Columbia Commandery will also have at the encampment a jewel which, It is ex- pected, will attract much attention. This, which will be worn by Eminent Commander Sir Frank H. Thomas, was presented by Palestine Commandery, No. 18, of New* Yerk to Columbia Commandery as a me- morial of the love and esteem between the two commanderies. The jewel is of gold set with diamonds and rubies, and {s said to he one of the most valuable jewels be- longing to any commandery in the United States. But the Boston commandertes are not to be allowed to do all the entertaining for the thousands of visitors to their city. The Californta commanderies will have the latch string on the outside at the Parker House, and all who visit them will be Invited to partake of the rich wines and ious fruits of their gold ate. Each the stock will be replenished by the arrival of a special car filled with fre fruit from the valley watered by the Sac- ramento. ‘The Colorado delegation will be quartered in the Hotel Denver, and they, too, will old oper house.

Louisville will send its crack drill corps, De Molay Commandery, and At- lanta will be represented by the gallant sir knights of Coeur de Lion Commandery. Other Commanderics. Tiinois will send a whole division; Chi- cago Commandery, No. 19, Sir Charles Wm. Kukn, eminent commander, with 300 sir knights; Galesburg Commandery, No. 8, Sir G. W. Thompson, eminent commander; Everts Commandery, No. 18, of Rock Isl- and, Sir Henry Clay Cleveland, eminent commander, and Sterling Commandery, No. 87, Sir T. W. Beckwith, eminent com- mander. These sir knights will be accom- panied by ladies, and will make the journey in a special train of elght of the finest Pullman sleeping and drawing room cars, with the necessary commissary and bag- gage cars. It is estimated that besides these there will be at least 1,000 air knights from Illinois, and that fully 1,500 from that state will take part In the grand parade. New York city will send 3,000 sir knights, headed by the Palestine Commandery, and every commandery in the state has sig- nified its Intention of being present. ‘The middle states will all make a gellant show. As for New England, every sir knight who can manaze to get away will be in Boston on the 27th. Elevated Headquarters. ‘The New Hampshire Grand Commandery, recognizing the fact that a large number of the Knights Templar will visit the beau- tiful White mountains during the week of the conclave, has established headquarters at the top of Mount Washington and at Fabyan’s, and will be prepared to receive and refresh the many weary pilgrims traveling from afar. Arrangements have already been mide with the Boston and Maine railroad offi- clals for 1,600 sir knights to ascend Mount Washington, and {t is expected that there will be large additions to that number. The grand conciave, which is made up of the grand commanders and grand re- eorders of the Grand Commanderies of the states and territories, will hold a two days” session {n the Masonic Temple on August and 28. The grand oilicers for the next three years will then be elected, and, after necessary legislation has been disposed of, the committee of arrangements for the next triennial conclave will be appointed. There will, it is expected, be a contest for the honor of holding the next encampment between the old-time rivals, New York and Chicago, but the opinion prevails that as the coming conclave is to be held in the east, the western city will be selected. In the el lon for officers of the Grand Commandery there will be few, if any, con- ests. —— RSIONS. All the German societies of the city wil take an outing at River View tomorrow.

A IN LABOR’S: RANKS Electrical Workers Tndloree the Press of the Gity. FIGHTING THE EGRINGTON ROAD Bricklayers. and Carpenters. Settle Troubles Happily. LABOR DAY NOTES The members of Local Union No. 26, Electrical Workers, were more than pleased to hear read at their meeting last night a letter whick had been received from Mr. H. W. Williams, a member of the union here, but at present residing in Atlanta, stating that he has been able to get Local No. 29 of that city to reorganize. The charter of this union was allowed to lapse nearly six months ago, on account of the hard times and depression of business then prevailing, but; in response to the appeals made by Mr. Williams, the Atlanta unioa begins its new career with forty charter members, or twenty-five more than were necessary to sign the application before the union could be recognized as a member of the National Brotherhood. At the conclusion of the reading of the letter the news contained therein was given a round of applause, and, by a unanimous vote, Local Union No. waived all claims to Mr. Williams’ services as a mem- ber, and the secretary was directed to send him a letter of congratulation on his suc- cess. Delegate to the National Convention. The matter of selecting a delegate and alternate to the national convention, which it had been decided should take place at this meeting, was postponed until the first meeting night in October, and the names of Messrs. John M. Berger and R. F. Metzel were placed in nomination for the former place. The fact that through the efforts of Pres- ident Berger and his immediace associates Washington has been selected as the meet- ing pace of the next convention makes the positions of delegate ard alternate much more desirable than they would be were the convention to be held in Minneapolis, as was originally intended. It is thought that one of the general cffi- cers of the National Brotherhood will be taken from Washington. ‘A resolution to indorse the entire press of the city was passed by a unanimous vote. The resolution declared that the elec- trica: Workers deprecated the narrow pol- icy of anguc’ discrimination against the ' favor of one new: Washington press . i aper. It further salay “We desire to place ourselves on record ad mus TDS 2 papers in the city which empl labor exclusively and will impartially fur- nish all proceedings of this union of gen- eral interest to the public to all papers alike.” A Dollar a Ride, Similar action was taken on a resolution indorsing the action ofthe Federation of Labor placing the Eckington and Soldiers? Home railway and its tributary lines on the “unfair list.’" It was detided to impose a fine of $1 on every member of the union who shall ride on the cars:of the company. A personal letter to President Berger from Grand Seeretary-Treasurer J.T. Kelly of the executive board at St. Louis wa: ad by Secretary Balser, in which it was stated that Washington is so far ahead of all other cities in the convention that it will be hopeless for any other to expect to secure the honor. Mr. Kelly congratulated President Berger and the members of Local Union No. 26 oa their achievements in this line up to this time, and from the tone of the letter it Was inferred that some of the western unfons, which itv sed would pre- fer either Chi have also voted for W this action on the unions was not necessary convention for this city, the members cf Local Union No. 26 are none the less grateful that the action indicated was taken by them. ‘An application to be enrolled as an active While western, to secure the member was received from Mr. H. Db. Miller, and Mr. John Prescott was rein-. stated. Labor Day. It was voted to rescind the resolution passed some weeks ago in regard to the kind of uniform to be worn in the parade on Labor day, and a motion was adcpted that on that occasion the members shall appear in a civilianssuit with white high hat, and each shall carry a cane. The offi- cial badge of the union will also be worn. Announcement was made that it was ex- pected that the union would be able to haye at least seventy-flve men in the pa- rade, and that a meeting of the convention committee will be held tomorrow afternoon at 830 13th street northwest. Settled Without Trouble. A Gifficulty which arose between the members of Carpenters’ Council and Mr. John Prescott, the contractor for the erec- tion of the new warehouse of Messrs. House and Herrmann, has,it is understood, been settled amicably, and hereafter none but union men will be employed on that structure. It was reported that non-union men were engaged on the work at the meeting of the council Thursday night, and a com- mittee was appointed by Chairman pro tem Mason to investigate the maiter, The committee ascertained that Messrs. House and Herrmann, with whom Carperters’ Council had been in correspondence for a long time in reference to the matter of the construction of the new building, had taken eve precaution to pro-ect union labor and had had Inserted in the specifi- cations a clause which provided in the most imperative manner “that none but union men shall be employed on the struc- ture and that these men must he pai union wages and work only union hour: It was alleged that as soon, however, as the contractor got hold of the work he employed a number of non-union men at a lower rate of puy than is demanded under the union rules, and it was against these and the violation of the terms of the contract that the Carpenters’ Council pro- tested. As soon as the attention of the firm was called to the matter, Mr. Herr- mann, acting, it is sald, for the firm, de- clared that specifications for the construc- tion of the building must be complied with in every particular. It is‘ »elieved there will be no trouble in the matter hereafter. The members of the council during the meeting, had quite an interesting discus- sion in reference to wearing a uniform in the Labor day parade, it appearing that two of the four carpenters’ nodizs ‘n the District want to «dept a distinctive dres3 for the day, while the others, it would seem, do not. Without coming to a decis- fon on the ques:ion the further considera- tion of the subject was postponed until the next meeting. The Bricklayers at Fort Myer. Much satisfaction is expressed by the members of Bricklayers’ Union, No. 1, that the threatened difficulty in reference to a violation of a law of the international union on work at Fort Myer, Va., by some of the members of that union, which has heretofore been explained in full In The Star, has been averted. Stone Masons’ Union, No. 2, which is a branch of the International Bricklayers and Stone Masons’ Union, in whoge hands the decision lay, at thelr meeting last night decided to waive their prerogative on the matter. In ac- cordance with the report of a conference committee of the two unions, it was de- cided by a unanimous vote that the unien bricklayers may continue to work on their present job. Had a different conclusfon been reached by the Stone Masons’ Union not less than fifty men would have been thrown out of employment. Laundry Workers Organize. The proposed assembly of persons who are employed in the laundries of the Dis- trict was launched last night, when, afte more than fifty girls and about a dozen men had signed the roll of membership, the following officers were elected: Master workman, W. H. Wilder; worthy foreman, Miss Lizzie Hoesch; almoner, Miss Grace Gooding; recording secretary, Miss Marie | THE a E. Clark; financial secretary, Charles W. Cropp; treasurer, Misi 2 Annie Foley. The Painters, ‘The regular weekly meeting of Painters’ Assembly, No. 1798, Knights of Labor, was held last night. After voting to take part in the Labor day parade, they decided upon a uniform, to consist of white pants, dark coats and white soft hats.
