The headquarters of the Republican Na- ticnal League will continue in Chicago fon the next two years. The Chicago men won @ decisive victory at the meeting of the ex- ecutive committee, despite the fact that the general officers of the committee favor- ed_a removal to Washington. The vote by which Chicago was retained was as follows: For Chicago—Henry M. Cooper, Arkan- sas; Albert Campbell, Hlinois; F. R. Cono- way, Iowa; John Goodnow, Minnesota; BE. C. Gray, Kansas; Percy F. Powers, Michi- gan; Albert M. Lee, Mississippi; T. Eng- land, Oklahoma; W. D. McWilliams, Col- lege League, Michigan; A. B. Humphrey, New York; H. H. kand, Wisconsin—11. For Washington—L. J.

Dowling, Minnesota; treasurer, A. T. Bliss, Michigan, who were said to be in favor of Washington, did not vote. Ex-Secretary A. B. Humphrey of New York, who was a chief factor in moving the headquarters to Chicago, two years ago, was again on the side of the western city. Mr. Humphrey asserted that Chicago was the best adapted location in the Unit- ed States for a political headquarters. It was the most central and surrounded by the leading republican states of the coun- try, including the doubtful ones, in which the presidential battle is either lost or won. Mr. Humphrey was seconded by Mr. Camp- bell, the Illinois representative; Mr. Goods now of Minnesota, and Mr. McWilliams of the College League. The committee on educational methods presented a report which was unanimously adopted. The Iowa plan of district and county leagues was recommended; the Michigan plan of publishing pamphlets on local issues was commended. The general officers were instructed to get out a hand- book next year. Republican editorial con- ventions were favored, and the secretary was instructed to attend the meetings of the various state leagues. As the question of location of the head- quarters was the principal object of the meeting, an adjournment followed the af- ternoon session. = Chosen as a Bank Director. Mr. William B.

THE MYSTIC SHRINE The Sessions of the Grand Council Began Today. ANNUAL ADDRESS OF THE POTENTATE Delegates of Colored Masons From All Parts of the Country. BUSINESS TRANSACTED eee A two days’ session of the Grand Council of the Ancient Arab‘e Order of Nobles of the Myst‘c Shrine of North and South Amer- fea, a high body of colored Masons, was begun this morning at Odd Fellows’ Hall, M street near 17th street northwest. Delegates were present from temples in various portions of the United States and Canada, as well as the following officers: John G. Jones, most imperial grand po.en- tate, Chicago, who presided; Joseph H. Shreve, imperial grand deputy potentate, Chicago; D. W. Dempsey, imperial grand chief rabban, Chicago; Robert H. Hucless, imperial grand assistant chief rabban, New York city; J. W. Dunmore, imperial grand high priest and prophet, Chicago; W. W. Madden, imperial grand oriental guide, Bai- timors . P.

Tubman of Baltimore, having died sinc® the last annual meeting. The Grand Potentate’s Address. As soon as the necessary formalities rela- tive to organizing for business had been ccmplied with, Most Imperial Grand Po- tentate Jones read his annual address, After referring to the claim of others to do shrine work and denying It he said: “We have temples of the Mystic Shrine established in the following places: Pales- tine at Chicago; Mecca at Washington, D. C.; Medina at New York city; Persian at Indianapolis, Arabia at Louisville, Ky.; Al- gerian at Champlain, Ill; Diana at Mon- mouth, ill.; Eureka at Cairo, Ill; Armenia ac Jacksonville, Ill.; King Solomon at Cieve- land, Ohio; Syrian at Chatham, Ont.; Belot at Kansas City, Kan.; Adell Kader at Kan- sas City, Mo.; Egyptian at Dallas, Tex.; Joppa at Water Valley, Miss.; Damascus at Omaha, Neb.; Mt. Sinai at Davenport,lowa; Pasha at Leavenworth, Kan.; Hussein at Topeka, Kan.; Constantine at Providence, R. L; Kailif-Alee, Brightwood, D. C.; Jeru- salem at Baltimore, Md.; Mahomet at Lex- ington, Mo.; Fezzan at Minneapolis, Minn.; Summit at Sacramento, Cal. In conclusion I would urge that each noble of the Mystic Shrine make a renewed effort to make the Mystic Shrine one of his chief agencies to elevate and better the condition of the whole human family.” Condition of the Order. The report of Imperial Corresponding Re- corder Seville gave an interesting review of the condition of the order in general, stat- ing also the amount of Arabic information imparted by him during the year. He like- wise submitted a number of recommenda- tions for the good of the Shrine, among which were the revision of the ritual in several important particulars and the form- ation of an adoptive branch of the order for the female relatives of the members or the Shrine,to be designated the Grand Court of. the Daughters of the Pyramid or Daughters of the Sphinx. The report of the treasurer showed the financial affairs of the Shrine to be ‘n a healthy and prosperous condition. Reading of other reports occupied the attention of the delegates up to the hour of adjourn- ment. The Grand Council of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America was instituted at Chicago June 10, 1893, and the present chief officer, John G. Jones, was the first colored man in the United States to receive the degree of Mystic Shrine, which was conferred upon him by several members of the Grand Council of Arabia, who were in that city at the time in attendance at the world's fair. ‘The most imperial grand potentate arriv- ed here last evening and was met at the depot by a committee of Shriners from Kalif-Alee T2mple and, headed by the Cap- ital City Band, escorted to the residence of the imperial corresponding grand recorder, Noble D. F. Seville. The band rendered several fine selections and the grand po- tentate held a reception. SS MR. ROOSEVELT AND MR. GORMAN. The New Yorker Tells Why He Said the Senator Was Untrathfal. New York Cor. of the Baltimore American. President Theodore Roosevelt of the board of police commissioners, explained today that part of his Baltimore speech in which he said- Senator Gorman was untruthful. “It is an old story,” he said, ‘and you may read all about it in the eleventh report of the civil service board. Senators Gorman, Plumb and Stewart joined in an attack upon us, and I cornered them all three. They are all enemies of civil service. Sena- tor Gorman led the attack upon the floor of the Senate. “He took occasion to say, in order to ridi- cule us, that in examining applicants for the position of letter carrier in Baltimore, we had asked one whom he knew. and whose recommendations from his Sunday school were particularly good, such ques- tions as what was the length of the Yung- tsekiang, aud how far it was from Balti- more to Ho-hang-Ho. From that sort of geographical posers, we had branched off to trigonometry and upset the man. *I wrote to him that he had been misin- formed, and, receiving no answer, wrote again, offering to let him examine the ex- amination papers and all the questions ever asked of letter carriers in Baltimore, so that he might see that not only there were none such as he had stated, but none even remotely resembling them. For an answer, he attacked me in the Senate, charging me with imprudently takirg him to task for statements made upon the floor of the Senate, where his constitutional privilege expressly secured him against challenge. Senators Plumb and Stewart came to his aid, the one declaring that the merit system was a fraud, and that when we needed a man for a position, we sent for the man we wanted and passed him. The other added that it was a regular thing. “] wrote them a letter then, all three, telling them that their conduct wus saved from being infamous merely by being con- temptible. And there the matter rested, rests yet, as far as I am concerned. I merely took occasion to say last night that I hadn't changed my opinion. —__— free Real Estate Sales. C. G.

AFFAIRS IN" ALEXANDRIA Democratic Politics is in a Very Mixed Condition. Before the Mayor’s Court—A Bad Case of Disorderly Conduct—Other Local Notes. A meeting of the city and county demo- cratle committees was held in the commit- tee rooms at the Market building last night for the purpose of adjusting matters which were left in somewhat of a tangled condi- tion by the recent adjournment. Mr. John T. Sweeney, presiding, stated the object of the meeting and that he boped that some- thing would be done by which the demo- cratic party could put a solid ticket in the fleld at the general election. All four of the candidates were present and their views upon the matter were heard. Mr. Bailey said that he opposed holding another convention, but wanted a primary. This was opposed by the three other can- didates, and after a good deal of heated discussion upon the subject had been heard Mr. ‘Carter made a motion that every one except the members of the committee and press be excluded from the room, after which the committec decided to hold another convention Monday next at Serepta Halil. What will be the outcome of this action is hard to say, as there is a great deal of dissatisfaction expressed, and it is safe to say that if some influential repub- lican enters the field he will easily carry off the honors. Mayor's Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: John UnJerwood. charged with being drunk and disorderly, assault on Henry Strauss and resisting an oflicer, was fined $27 and placed unde $200 bond to keep the peace for one year. Eight small colored boys, charged with throwing stones in the street, fined $1 each. Emanuel Corbin and Ella Washington charged with interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty, fined $15 and $> respectively. Ed. Davis and Simpson Thompson, charged with disorderly con- duct, fined $5 each. Charles Foley, charged with stealing clothing from James Mayhew, case con- tinued. Ex-Mayor Strauss Assaulted. Yesterday afternoon, at about 5 o'clock, John Underwood went into Herbert Tancil’s barber shop, cn King street, and began cursing everybody and everything. Ex- Mayor Henry Strauss, who was being shaved, ordered him to be quiet, whereupon Underwood assaulted him. Officer Atkin- scn appeared upon the scene and put him under arrest. This mornirg Justice Sin- clair fined Underwood $27 and put him un- der bond for $200 to keep the peace for one year. They Oppose It. ‘The ci:y street committee at its meeting tenight will hear the views of the prop- erty owners on Fayette street in regard to granting the Washington Southern Rail- way Company the right to put a double track on Fayette street. Many of the property owners contend that the paving of the street by the railroad company would not pay them for the depreciation in the value of the property when the street is entirely taken up by railway tracks, as it wili be should another track be put down. The committee will make its report tc the city council on Tues- day night. : Elected Its Officers. Friendship Chapter of the Epworth League of the Trinity M. E. Church at tts meeting elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Samuel Stokely, presi- dent; I. C. O’Nell, first vice president; Miss Maggie O'Neal, second vice president; L. Wolford, third vice president; Charles Pierpoint, fourth vice president; George Dix, secretary, and Mrs. Thomas Dix, treasurer. The reports of the committees showed the league to be in a flourishing condition. ‘The Teachers’ Class. ‘The public school teachers’ class had a very, interesting meeting last night in their rcom in Peabody building, with rearly all the white teachers in the system present. ‘The subjects under discussion were of un- sual interest to the teaching profession and interesting papers were read by sev- eral of the teachers on the duties of a teacher.

His Plea of Poverty Did Not Go This Time—Did Not Want Counse! Assistant District Attorney Mullowny bas at last succeeded in landing in jail one of the best knewn polloy.men in this elty, and some firm In, Gov. O’Ferrall’s gambling country will no doubt fail to roll up their regular daily average sum ofWash- ington money. Edw. Conover ‘s the name of the man, and not more than two years ago he escaped punishment by:springing a plea of poverty on the jury. “This time he attempted a repetition of that, dodge, but it did not work, for the prosecuting attor- ney was not so deeply affected this time that he refrained from presenting his side to the jury. ¥ In the other case Conover made a good showing and succeeded in getting the sympathy of the jury. When he appeared in court he did not wear his diamonds, but was plainly dressed and had but little to say. He told the jury that he was penniless and that bis counsel had forsaken him at fee lest hour because he could not pay the fee. To this plea the jurors listened more at- tentively than they did to the evidence of more than the vsual number of witnesses heard in the case. When the prosecution had closed the pauper prisoner refrained from making a statement, as in the light of what had happened he did not have the heart to make a speech to the jury. ‘The result was that a verdict of not guilty was returned. But today the prosecutor pursued a differ- ent course. Conover got up and made an effort to enlist the sympathy of the jury. He told them that he had retained counsel, but, as he had no money, he could not ex- pect him to defend the case. Mr. George Curtis, assistant librarian of the Capitol law library, was in court, and he kindly volunteered to defend the policy man, who was apparently without money or friends, but his kindness was all lost, for Conover promptly declined his of- er. The case proceeded and witnesses were heard. Among them were Sergeant Daley and Pr2cinct Detective Hartigan, who told of the exciting arrest and finding of policy Papers. Other evidence was heard, and when the proof was all ir the policy man declined to go on the stand. He had nothing to say further than to plead poverty. Mr. Mullowny made a short argument, in which he pointed out to the jury the di- rect evidence in the case, and the jury re- turned a verdict of guilty. Conover told the court that he had a Aamily: consisting of a wife and four chil- ren. Judge Miller thought he had no excuse whatever for engaging in this business, for he had had ample warning. He was sen- tenced to sixty days in jail and was fined $250 or sixty days additional, which 1s equivalent to a three months’ sentence, for he will get out under the poor convict’s act for the non-payment of the fine. ——.__ THE COURTS. : Court of Appeals—Present, the Chief Jus- tice, Mr. Justice Morris ‘and Mr. Justice Shepard.

ARRESTED AND CALLED VAGRANTS Visit the Police Court and Then the Workhouse. OTHER CASES TODAY ——— Soutuward is the course the tramps are taking now. here just in time to get put away in a warm home for part of the winter. There are in the city a number of persons classed as local tramps, and they, too, are being taken up by the police. Some of them were in Judge Kimball's court this morning, where a dozen persons figured in the prccession. First in line came James Kelly, who said he was born in the city of Albany in New York state. “Not guilty,” said the men, who pretend- ed to be indignant because a policeman had charged him with the humiliating offense of vagrancy. Kelly reached the city yesterday, and was scon under the influence of liquor. He had a few dollars, tut he thought he would like to increase his wealth before he called on his brother at the Soldiers’ Home, and so he proceeded to beg. “I met him near Pennsylvania avenue and lith street,” said Policeman Hibel, who does duty at the White House, “and he asked me for money.” - “Was he drunk?’ interrupted Judge Kim- a es, sir,” answered the officer. “And,” he continued, “I told him to go away and niind his own business. He walked cff, but returned and asked me if I knew who he was ard what he could do to me.” The officer said that his conduct was such that he had to arrest him. “I’m a boilermaker by trade,” said Kelly, “and I came here to see my brother.” “And got drunk and begged?” queried the court. 5 = “I got drunk, your honor,” said the man, “but if I begged I don't know it. I had no occasion to beg, for I had $5 and some change in my pocket. I don’t know how I could beg when I carry them things with me,” showing his five dollars. “Where are you from?” “Albany is where I was born.” “How did you come here?” “On a train.” “Freight?” “No. your honor, T paid my fare.” “This Is not a good place to come when you get drunk and beg,” Judge Kimball to'd Kelly. A sentence of fifteen days was imposed. Th-mas Conway, a young man who was experiencing a bad case of “that tired feel- ing,” rested against the rail and listened to the clerk read a charge of obstructing the sidewalk with his rerson, and then he ed h’s head and said, “I’m guilty.” ‘he court fines you five dollars.” Found on the Flats, William Johnson, an old colored man who is known as “King of the Flats,” was in. the procession, and with him was William H. Alexander, a younger colored man who says he lives in Queen City, near Arling- ton. These men were found on the govern- ment freservation near the monument, where there were five other men. But the other men were not caught. “Last evening,” said Police Officer Bruce “complaints of men begging on the streets were received at the station, and it was sad that they had been going to this reser- vation ard cooking what they begged. Two of us went down there and found these men seated about a fire, and they had a number of couking utensils.” “That's Johnson's favorite place," re- marked the court. “He has been found there before.” Johnson sad he had nothing to say, but Alexander told the court that he wanted to make a defense. “T live over in Queen City,” he said, “and was on my way home. I’ve had chills in the summer, and last night, when I had a shaking chill, I saw the fire, and stopped until the chill was over.” “That’s a bad place to go when you have the chills,” the judge toid him. “I know it,” said Alexander, “but when a man’s got a shaking chill, he hasn’t got time to pick his place.” The old man was sent down for ninety days, and Alexander was given five days on the farm. Sent Down Again. Theodcre Scrivener is the name of a resi- dent of East Washington who spends most of his time on the farm. He was released from the farm last evening, and when he went home, it Is sald, he was under the influence of liquor. Theodore has been addicted to the use of intoxicants for so long a time that his health is badly shattered, and he has fits. “This morning,” said the officer, “he was very noisy and troublesome at the house and I arrested him.” Theodore thought the police were not giv- ing him an opportunity to reform. He had orly been released last evening, and was arrested when he had been disorderly on one occasion. Judge Kimball sent him down for thirty days. “Guilty,” responded John Crane, against whcm there was a charge of profanity, and the usual fire was imposed. “Washington is a bad place for tramps,” Judge Kimball told John Wilson. Wilson was in court before, so a policeman told the court, and he was sent down, but since his release he has been hanging about the streets the same as when he was at large before his first arrest. “How many days did you get when you re here before?” the court asked. "Fifteen day: he answered. “You will have to go down for a month this time,” the judge told him, “and when you get out you had better leave the city. If you don’t leave, you will have this sen- tence doubled.” “Won't your honor please let me go?” plead the young man, who did not want to go back to the farm. “No, sir,” the judge told him, “you will have to go down.” Charles Wilson, a small colored boy from Alexandria, was arrested with him, and his personal bonds were taken. Alice Marshall, a colored woman who lives in the “Division,” was sent down for thirty days as a vagrant. Judge Kimball holds that all these women are vagrants. Henry Banks, a colored clam man from the disreputable section, was given a trial. “He doesn’t sell a bushel of clams in a week,” the policeman told the court. “What does he do?” “He stands about the corner and almost every woman who-comes along he begs for money for whisky.” The man made a statement in his own behalf and was discharged. Was Not Driving. William L. Wells, the South Washington saloon kecper, was before the court. He was arrested last evening and required to leave collateral on a charge of fast driv- ing. Policeman Greer gave evidence against him, and when the defendant got on the stand he denied that he was driving the animal. “When I was arrested,” he said, officer told me if I would apologize would let me go, but I didn’t “apologiz Mr. Merchant, a friend of Wells’, ad- mitted that he was doing the driving and Wells was dismissed. Se Leased for the Winter. Fitch, Fox & Brown, real estate dealers, have leased houses to the following, among others: The residence of Maj. M. Wheeier, southwest corner of 16th and K streets, to E.

McDevitt, twenty-four years old, an actor out of a job, and “on his up- pers,” is at present the occupant of a police cell, and tomorrow he will probably be sent to jail. He is a confessed thief, and says that starvation drove him to take other people’s property. In addition to this unfortunate chapter in his life he is addicted to the use of morphine, and is said to be otherwise disreputable. Ai he has left to remind him of his theatrical life are his bad habits. McDevitt is a son of a wealthy widow, who owns considerable property in the county, In the neighborhood of Lincoln avenue, but the young man says his mother will no longer assist him. During the course of his theatrical ex- perience he played minor parts with Down- ing and Emmet, so he says, but he has now given up the stage forever. It is charged that he robbed his mother of about $200 worth of clothing and other articles, and Frank Barr and Lawrence Steadman are his other alleged victims, and they, too, were robbed of clothing. McDevitt rented rooms in the houses where these men lived and robbed their rooms. The cases will be tried in the Police Court tomorrow. William Coleman, John Louman and Samuel Johnson, colored bootblacks, are under arrest on a charge of burglary. They were arrested by Detective Lacy on com- plaint of J. B. Cooper, whose house was robbed, and the officers suspect them of having been connected with other robberies. ag ere MARK’S ELECTION. sT. A Probability That the Case Will Be Argued Next Wee The case of John P. Torbert and others against Jos. B. Bennett and others, which arcse out of the election last spring of vestrymen in St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, will probably be heard in the Equity Court some day next week. The election, it was claimed, was irregular, and the complain- ants sought, by an injunction, to restrain the defendants from exercising the rights and performing the duties of the offices to which they claimed to have been elected. The complainants filed their petition the 25th of last June, and the defendants were required to show cause why they should not be restrained as prayed. That matter was heard before Chief Justice Bingham last July, and he discharged the rule. Thereupon testimony was directed to be taken by both sides. That has been com- pleted, and the case is now on the calendar of the court. Mr. Wm. A. Meloy, of coun- sel for the complainants, stated ‘to a Star reporter today that he would endeavor to have the case set down for trial next Wednesday, and thought that it would probably be heard before Judge Hagner. Se WII Sir Julian P: icefote Be Sent to Parist Wash. Cor. New York Tribune. It is among the probabilities that the United States may soon see the last of her Britannic majesty’s popular diplomatic rep- resentative, Sir Julian Pauncefote. It is learned- today from private sources that Lord Dufferin, the British ambassador at Paris, will shortly retire. The date of his retire- ment is still a state secret, while the name of his successor, which is a matter of frequent speculation in London, is yet unknown. The embassy at Paris is the most important dip- lomatic post within the gift of the British foreign office, and it has always been held by _an ambassador of high standing. A pre- cedent for the transfer of Sir Julian Paunce- fote from Washington to Paris was created some years ago, when Lord Lyons, the Brit- ish minister at this point, was sent as her majesty’s representative to the French capital, While Sir Julian is apparently os ignorant of Lord Salisbury’s intentions as any of the other gentlemen directly interest- ed, and declines to discuss the matter, it is believed that he would not object to the transfer, which would be a marked recozni- tion of his long official service. All the deli- cate questions arising between the United States and Great Britain of late years have been handled by Sir Julian in a spirit of great friendliness to the United States, to which country he is very partial, and also to the satisfaction of the London foreign office. He would, it is well known, leave Washing- ton with regret, owing to the agreeable in- tercourse of himself and family with the American people. Still, it is said, the Brit- ish mission to Paris is like the presidency of the United States—no one was ever known to decline it. ee Lieut. Pague to Be Tried. A court-martial has been “appointed for the trial of Lieut. 8. S. Pague, fifteenth in- fantry, for his recent attack on Col. Crof- ton with a revolver. The assault occurred at Fort Sheridan, Chicago, where Col. Crofton is in command. Lieut. Pague is said to be mentally irresponsible, and his counsel will probably make that defense. The detail for the court is as follows: Col. Simon Snyder, nineteenth infantry; Lieut. Cols. Charles ‘A. Wikoff and J. H. Gilman, Majors G. W. Baird and Henry Lippincott, Capts. Staunton, Verman, Roeman, Rey- nolds, Bacid, Mackay, French, and Lieut. Col. John W. Clous, judge advocate. It meets next Tuesday. Castoria For Infants and. Children.

The sudden closing of the establishment of the Hudson Bay Fur and Cloak Company, at 519 11th street northwest, last night, caused not a little concern among creditors of the company and many persons who had valuable articles on storage or in the keep- ing of the company for repairs. The greater portion of the contents of the store were re- moved last evening in what is described as an unusually hasty manner. Those who called this morning found the doors locked, the curtains tightly drawn and a sign on the door to the effect that the establish- ment was closed for a few days. Mr. Martin Wolf, manager of the com- pany, made the following statement today: “We wish to announce that owing to a cer- tain change in the firm I was ordered to close the store for a few days. Orders left with us will be attended to the same as be- fore unless customers shouid desire to with- draw them. Upon request, we will return any garment untouched. Garments left on storage can be had by presenting the re- ceipt at our store. The goods will be per- fectly safe in our hands and will be re- turned upon request.” ————__ The Mexican Boundary Commission.
