Meetings Held Last Night—The trical Workers. President Berger being unavoidably ab- sent from the meeting last night of Local Union, No. 26, of Electrical Workers, Mr. R. F. Metzel was called to the chair. The attendance of members was large. Mr. H. C. Wilson was elected an active member and F. C. Lutz and M. B. Gilbert were ad- mitted as apprentices, Letters were read from the local unions at Atlanta, Ga., and Philadelphia, stating that each had voted for Washington as the place of meeting for the coming national convention. Secretary A. C. Balser tendered his resig- nation, and Mr. D. H. Carr was elected to succeed him. 4 Messrs. George A. Malone and A. C. Balser spoke briefly on “Dynamo Construc- tion and Bell Circuits,” and it was stated that hereafter one of the features of each meeting will be an address by one of the members on a*matter of, interest to the craft.. The address of next week will be for the especial benefit of honorary mem- bers and apprentices. The journeymen house_painters at their meeting iast night initiated three new members and received tw@ applications for membership. ig Three new members were admitted to membership in the Bricklayers’ Union at the meeting of the latter last night. Rut little outside of routine business was trans- acted. * The stonecutters held their regular meet- ing last night and approved the appoint- ment of Mr. William Kreiter as their rep- resentative in the labor ‘bureau. They also approved the course of the Federation and D. A. 66 in placing the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway on the unfair list. Elec- LOCAL REPUBLICANS Discussing Validity of Calls for the District Convention, AARON BRADSHAW'S CHAIRMANSHIP What Was Settled by the Last National Convention. THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE es “Is Aaron Bradshaw the chairman of the republican central committee, or has, he the right to call the convention for the s2- lection of the delegates to the next na- tional convention?” This is the question that is now perturbing the minds of some of the local republican politicians. The friends of Mr. Andrew Gleeson are saying that Bradshaw is not the chairman; that he has no authority more than any other republican to call the conventions; that, if he does call them, the national con- vention will be calied upon to decide by what authority he dees so. These are some of the interesting complications that have arisen in the republican ranks during the week. The Carson-Bradshaw people make the claim that Mr. Bradshaw is the chair- man, and that the national convention at Minneapolis so decided. The Glees.nites’ version of the matter runs like this: Disaffections having arisen in republican ranks here, and the question as to who should call the District conven- tion for the selection of delegates being undecided, the national committee was call- ed upon to decide the contest. A committee of the national committee after listening to the two factions decided that Perry Carson and A. H. 8. Davis, the chairman of the central republican com- mittee, should call the conventions for the selection of delegates to the central com- mittee. The cail was issued, but resulted in the selection of two sets of delegates to the central committee. One convention made Aaron Bradshaw its chairman, and Frank Aldrich was selected as the chair- men of the other. Both chairmen called conventions for the selection of delegates to choose delegates to the national conven- tion. The Bradshaw delegates elected Carson and Gleeson, and the Aldrich dele- gates selected Simon Wolf and Calvin Chase. The contest was then transferred to the n:-@onal convention, and while that convention seated Carson and Gleeson it did not, the Gleeson people claim, decide that Bradshaw was the chairman of the cortral committee, or that he should call future conventicns for the selection of del- egates. The Gleeson people claim that as the national convention did not decide as to the question of who was chairman of the central committee that Afdrich, or in His absence any other member of his certral committee, may call the conven- tions. The Gleesonites, therefore, say that they shall, wnen they think proper, see that calls are issued for the selection of dele- gates to the convention, and shall, if the Bradshaw people disregard them, call upon the national committee again to decide the matter. They further say that Bradshaw bas no records us to who are members of the central committee, and that all the records in existence appertaining to the eelection of the committee are in their pos- session. Marcellus West is acting as the spckesman of the Gleeson people in this matter, and says that they will spring some tevelations on Mr. Bradshow shortly. The Bradshaw people say that the con- ver.tion at Minneapolis decided that he was cheirman of the central committee, and that, as such, he will call the convention. Mr. Bradshaw's Side. One of Mr. Bradshaw's friends gave to The Star reporter today the following as his version of the affair: “Prior to the republican ognvention of 1892, A. H. S. Davis was chairman of the republican: central committee of the Dis- trict of Columbia. When the national con- vention met in the winter of 1502 the ques- tion of calling mectings in the different legislative districts was agitated, and much dissatisfaction being expressed at Mr. Da- vis’ course, the Whcle -matter of calling meetings for the new central committee was referred by the national committee to @ committee of its members, composed of J. H. Manly of Maine, Chauncey I. Filley of Missouri and Gen. Fessenden of Connec- ticut. “That committee recommended that the member of the national committee from the District of Columbia (Carson) and Da- vis, the chairman of the District republi- can central committee, join in~g call for the different districts to meet and elect the delegates to the central committee, which was done. Two committees was the result, one of which Aaron Bradshaw was elected chairman, and Frank Aldrich was elected chairman of the other. Both committees, through their respective chairmen, ordered elections in the different legislative dis- tricts to elect delegates to send delegates to the national convention at Minneapolis. The Bradshaw call resulted in the election of Perry Carson and Andrew Gleeson and the Aldrich call resulted in the election of Simon Wolf and Calvin Chase as dele- gates. “The controversy was thus transferred to the national committee and the convention at Minneapolis. When the matter reached the committee and conventian the Brad- shaw delegates were seated by resolution of the committee on credentials, which re- cited ‘fhat the delegates from the District of Columbia bearing the credentials sign- ed by Aaron Bradshaw, the chairman of the central committee of said District of Celumbia, be declared the duly elected delegates, and that the committee of which he is chairman is the republican central committee of the District of Columbia:’ It was by this action that Carson and Giceson voted in the convention, and Car- son became the member of the national committee from this District. Thus it will be seen by the action of the national com- mittee in 1892 the regularity of the com- mittee presided over by Aaron Bradshaw was settled, and consequently there is no organization but the Bradshaw committee which has authority to issue a cail for eny purpose within the republican party in the District of Columbia, “When, in the opinion of Chairman Brad- shaw ard a majority of the commi pre- sided over by him, the time has arrived a call will be made by him for the clubs in the various legislative districts to meet. and after the election of new presiden‘s, mew members of the central committee will be selected, and after the reorganization of the central committee and the election of a new chairman, then a call will ie made by him for the different legislative dis- tricts to meet and elect three delegates to @ general convention, which convention, when organized, will elect the two dele- gates to the next national convention.” > WOULD ADVISE REPUDIATION. Serator Peffer Agninst Another Bond Issue. “If another Issue of bonds is made with- out the authority of Congress I shall ad- vise. their repudiation,” These are the words Senator Peffer used in speaking about the probability of anoth- er bond issue to an Associated Preys re- porter at Topeka, Kan., yesterday. Senator Peffer has kept his eye on the figures which tell of the condition of the gold reserve. None have watched it sliding down below the $100,000,000 mark more anxiously than he. It, was he who objected very emphatically in the United States Sen- ate when the first and subsequent bond is- sues were made. “I considered the bond Issue fraudulent and I have not changed my position, since then. I stfll think that the government has no authority to issue bonds without the coreurrence cf Congress,” said he. “I am satisfied that there will be another bond issue before October ‘1, because the sy1dicate has been given the privilege of tuking all the bonds issued before then. There is only one thing which may prevent a@ bond issue, and that is the fear that it wil weaken the democratic strength.” —___+e+-____ Marriage Licegses. eae Marriage licenses were issued today to the following: Benjamin R,.

Manifestations of Unfriendliness — Verdict of a Former American Ambassador—London Talk. (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, September 14.—Starboard tacks, rules of the road “at sea, the right of a yacht engaged in a race to claim a course free from the impediment by pleasure craft and, principally, the Earl of Dunraven’s conduct in refusing to finish the races for that most famous of international sport- ing trophies—the America’s - cup—have formed the principal topics of discussion in London the last few days. It must be admitted, despite the fair comments of the best among the London newspapers and the polite assurances of such a power in the yachtg world as Mr. Ormonde, vice commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, that American yachts and yachtsmen wili always be welcome here, that this will not be the case. There has always been a feeling here against Americans, as has fair- ly been shown in all the recent internation- al contests, Every American who has length of time in England come familiar with this feeling, which crops out on all occasions. A former American ambassador, who was one of the most popular men whoever came to Eng- land and who was received upon terms of greater intimacy by the most exclusive cir- eles in England than any of his successors have been, once said to a representative of the Associated Press, alluding to an ar- ticle in the ‘St. James Gazette, a paper which has always been noted for its hos- tility to America: “I regard that paper as a true exponent of the feeling of the Brit- ish people with regard to America. They don’t like us, and it is of no use trying to persuade ourselves otherwise.” LONDON, September 13.—Dixon Kemp, the yachting expert, writing in the Field, says: From the cable account of the cup races which has reached this country we are able to understand with something like certainty the happenings. The obstruction of the excursion steamers, laden with fran- tic Irish-Americans, who do not know a yacht from an oyster boat, was the usual pattern. It was denounced by the club and t® press in the usual “perfunctory meni but what was the use of this when the transatlantic of sport is to prevent its being carried out in the dull routine of sportsmanlike methods. The fact is that the whole history of the cup, from the initial race to the last contest, has been mere pantomime of yacht racing, with a sportsman on ,fe side and a sporting man on the other. As to-the foul, there is not much doubt that Valkyrie was in the wrong, and the committee had no option but to disqualify her if the facts were as now represented. All who have the interest of yacht racing at heart will rejoice that the committee of the New York Yacht Club firmly and fear- lessly upheld the rule of the road, as they did in the Genesta-Puritan case a decade ago. Thursday the rabble maintained the pantomimic character of racing off Sandy Hook. Lord Dunraven very properly de- cided not to continue the contest. The result will be the venue of races will have to be changed. It was a brusque and suminary way of ending his enterprise, but it was the best vay, and now that Lord Dunraven realized the fact that a fair con- test for the America’s cup cannot be se- cured, he not only stands on his own dig- nity, but represents the broad and square whole of British feeling on the situation. Englishmen have been beaten too often in these contests to be cowed by defeat, but the accumulated unfairness of the whole business and the impotency of the New York Yacht Club to carry out its own conditions as to what is fair, renders it desirable that no more set international contests should take place between yachts representing Great Britain and the United States. The whole conditions require to be remodeled, notably that which requires the challenger to cross the Atlantic in her own bottom, which means that she must be stanch and well built, while the defender can be any lightly rigged rattle-trap which will hold together for four or five matches, LONDON, September 14.—The Pall Mall Gazette this ‘afternoon contains an article on the subject of international yacht rac- ing, in the course of which it is observed that if the rules prevented the New York committee from declaring void the race of last Tuesday between Valkyrie III and De- fender it is high time that the rules should be revised. In the same article the owners of De- fender are reminded that there is an inte: national cup offered by the Royal Victoria Club of Ryde, awaiting a challenger, and it is suggested that if the Americans have any fault to fird with the conditions under which competition for that trophy is to be conducted they would better state their ob- jection without delay. ———.—__ CLOSING THE FESTIVITIES, ved for any lust have be- A Ball at the Auditorium Winds Up the Encampment.
