The Dawes and Choctaw commissions have met and adjourned, with no better understanding than before the meeting. The Dawes commission has returned to Fort Smith, and will soon return to Wash- ington to make its report, which will un- doubtedly be adverse to the present tribal relationship, but it is reported the com- mission will recommend the formation of a territorial form of government, the ter- ritory to be controlled exclusively by agents appointed by the United States gov- ernment.

THE PEOPLE ARE THINKING Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina 1s in Washington on a house-hunting mls- sion. Mr. Butler will lease a house in the northwest section of the city, and will bring his family here about November 15. During the political upheavals in North Carolina of the past two years Senator But- ler has been one of the most prominent and energetic political fighters of iis state. As the leader of the populists he has established @ reputation for shrewdness and courage, and his friends expect that he will cut quite an important figure when he takes his seat in the United States Senate next month. Mr. Butler has the appearance of a college professor who has led a retired life us a student rather than of a political worker. He has prominent features* dark brown hair that is allowed to grow longer than is cater a is parted very far over on e side of his head. H. i and mustache, the front view of his face showing considerable reséblance to Sena- of nls Sotees ee not resemble in any r. Butler was seen b; today. He conversed freely on’ political matters, talking in a quiet and reserved manner, often as if weighing nis words. But he makes no attempt to tone down radi- cal views when he believes them to be prac- tieal, and he feels that the populisis as a nu- tional party have suffered accusations of impracticability more because some of taeir tenets are too little understood and because they are somewhat “in advance” of the times rather than because the; a faulty in prinetple. y are really The Populist Plaiform. “I fought some portions of our platform,” said Mr. Butler, “when it was adopted be- cause I did not think it was good politics to construct it just as it was finally adopted, though I indorse the principles contained in it I would be willing to meet any one in a discussion of the question of th nali- zation of our railroads, for instance and would fear no argument that might ve ad- vanced against the proposition if I could only have an unprejudiced uudience, ‘The same Is true about the subtreasury system, but I thought it was a mistake Zor the plat. forme on ore any system rather than merely declaring in favor of the principle “I believe the platform to be ado, next national convention will contotm proce closely to that adopted by the populis:s of Kentucky. The Kentucky platform makes all other issues subordinate to the financial issue. which is the most important thing be- fore this country at the present time. I have no idea that the populists will desert any of the planks which form a part of its plat- form now. That doesn’t seem to me to bea Proper thing for a party to do. When its principles are laid down and people attach themselves to the party because of those principles they have a right to stand up for them. But for practi e important questions that are well understuod by the people should be put in the foreground, ard the free coinage of silver stands out prom- inently as the great issue that 's to be fought over in the next campaign. Must Conciliate Silver Men. “I notice that there is some talk alk of the friends of Gen. Harrison displacing Senator Carter from the chairmanship of the na- tional republican committee because of his views on silver, and because ine is not sup- posed to be friendly to the renomination of the ex-President. I can hardly think this is true, and I expect to see a denial of the statement. It seems to me to be such bad politics for the gold men of the republican party to drive out the silver men of their party that I cannot think the report is true. The only hope of both the denperatic and republican parties Is to conciliate the silver men and to persuade them to stay with them. There is no doubt that there 1s a large majority of the vozers of the coun- try today in favor of silver, and party lead- ers must recognize this. “There never was a time in the history of our government when so many people were thinking on political questions and dolrg so little talking about it as today. In North Carolina, for instance, cen years ago very litde thought was given to pol.tical matters. The average voter knew little of what was going on in Washington, and they felt that the leaders would take care of tha:. Now the situation is changed. I have applica- tions for a hundred copies of the Con- gressional Record for the next Congress where I will be able to get ten covies. The people in my state want to know what is going on here, and they waat it first-hand.” “Do you think there will pe a reorganiza- tion of the Senate?” the reporter usked. Senate Reorganization. “I think there ought to be a reorganiza- tion. Why shouldn't the silver men in the Senate reorganize that body? There are enough of them to do so, and they could then control, Men have been sent here year after year upon their declarations in favor of silver, and it seems to me that if they re- fuse to come together and organize the Sen- ate, they will have to answer to their con- stituents later on.” “Do you mean an organization on a ron- partisan basis?’ Mr. Butler was asked. “Certainly. Why no:? Why shouldn’t the silver men simply get together in the in- terest of the one sreat issue before the country, and for which they all claim to be working? They could orgunize the Senate, and I see no reason why they should not do so.” Mr. Butler is now stopping at the Shkore- ham, and will return to his home in a few days. ———___—_-o+—__\{__ “Black America” Thief Sentenced. William C. Berry, the young colored man who was discherged in Montana from troop Cc, tenth cavalry, and arrested here after he had served in the “Black America” show, was taken before Judge Miller in the Police Court today and given a hearing on four charges of larceny. Berry, it was shown, robbed Thorrton Richardson, a tailor who had befriended him, and he also robbed others. In each case he stole arti- cles of clothing. Richardson was one of the soldiers who escaped with his life dur- ing the Custer mussacre, and had kept his suit of soldier clotres as a souvenir of the exciting occasion. Some days ago he met Berry on the street, and the young man told him such a pitiful story of his distressing circum- stances that Richardson took him in and eared for him. One day Richardson had oecasion to leave home, and when he re- turned he found Berry's old clothes piled in the middle of the room, while his (Richard. son’s) soldier clothes were missing. These were the elothes that Berry wore on the occasion cf his arrest. The four charges against Berry were sub- stentiated, and he was sentenced to two years in jail. —— A New Mystery Story. The mystery story now running in The Star having proved so popular, arrange- ments have been made to follow it with an- other. The new one is “Before They Were Married,” by Henry C. Parker. It Is of com- manding interest, and those who read the first chapters will follow it eagerly to the end of the absorbing mystery. The first in- stallment will be published on Saturday, No- vember 9. Two hundred and fifty dollars in gold will be given for a correct solution of the mystery by a woman reader, according to the conditions printed elsewhere. = The Young Will Case. The entire hearing of the Young will case today in Judge Cole’s court was occupied with the introduction of testimony tending to show that the testator, James B. Young, was of sound and disposing mind at the time he signed the will now in dispute. THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP. EXPLANATORY NOTH: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.

SPEED OF WAR VESSELS Admiral Ramsay Believes They Can All Make Their Record Speed. He Has Been Misreprésented im the Treatment of the Table in His Report. ‘Admiral Ramsay, cMief of the bureau of navigation, was asked by’ a Star reporter teday If he desired to: make any statement with regard to the newspaper publications about the low rate of speed made by naval vessels in their recent cruises. He said he didn’t care to depart from his usual rule to ignore newspaper criticisms of naval affairs, but inasmuch’ as in this instance he had been put in the extremely unen- viable position of discrediting the capabil- ities of our own naval vessels, he was will- ing to say that instead, of pelieving that they are failures in the matter of speed, as was covertly represented, he held ex- : opinion. actly the, cPhosteaid. in a cool, deliberate way, “that every one of the ships men- tioned in the article as having made such a poor speed showing during the year can make its record speed whenever there is occasicn for it.” Entirely Misrepresented. Another officer of the bureau said that the admiral had been misrepresented entirely in the matter. It would appear from the arti- cle that he had gone out of his way to ob- tain data to show foreign governments that our naval vessels were not. what they were cracked up to be in the matter of speed, whereas the fact of the matter was that the record of the ships had been taken from their logs in accoraance with the practice of tne bureau of many years’ standing. The bare figures of the cruises of the vessels were put in Admiral Ramsay's report as an appen- dix, and he made no comment on the sub- ject one way or the other. The record show- ed that the ships had merely been engaged in every-day cruising from port to port un- der ordinary conditions, and that the only instance in which the least effort for speed was made was when the cruiser Columbia made her naval record-breaking trip across the Atlantic. ——___+-e.+___—_ TO OPPOSE CARSON. L, C. Bailey Materializes as a Caudi- date for the Convention. Perry Carson, who has long posed as the representative of the colored republicans of the District as a delegate to the national convention, is not finding it all clear sail- ing this year. He may yet encounter some rough water before he reaches the goal he seeks. Some of the other active politicians aver that he will never reach the conven- tion at all next year. The latest aspirant for political honors is L. C. Bailey, a weil-known colored man, who has for years been more or less active in republican affairs of the District. Ac- cording to the promises of some of his friends he is going to be a formidable can- didate. He is the treasurer of the Capital Savings Bank, which is largely supported by the colored people of the city, and is also actively connected with a number of other business ventures which have as a rule proved successful. The boom in Mr. Bailey's behalf started a week ago last night, when a meeting was held at 60) F street for the purpose of 01 ganizing a republican club. Represent, tives of sixteen districts were in attend- ance and took the necessary steps to form an organization, which has since taken shape under the ramé ofthe Republican Campaign Club of the District of Columbia. J. W. Freeman was elected president. Five vice presidents, a recordiig and a corre- sponding secretary, a board of managers and two sergeants-at-atms were also chosen. z It was decided to support Mr. Bailey as delegate to the national convention and to hold a meeting in his interest every Mon- day evening until after the campaign is over. f Al the meeting last! evening twenty out of the twenty-two districta were represent- ed. Bailey and Cargon are on friendly terms, and it is said they have discussed ‘he situation together and‘have:decided tnat the battle between them shall be fought fair, and that it shall be a éampaign not of vituperation, but of education and oratory. Mr. Bailey Says that he started out to see if he could not win back some of the men who were formerly Carson’s friends, but have since become estranged. He saw he could not succeed, for there were too many who said they would vote and work for any one rather than Carson. “We will work for you,” they said, “but not for Perry.” ——.- Fires Last Night. About 7:30 o'clock the fire department called to the residence of Mrs. Peck, No. 1742 F street, where a boy threw a lighted cigar in a pile of rubbish. The fire was extinguished before any damage was done. Three hours later an alarm of fire was scunced irom box 142 for fire in the house of J. R.

Growing out of an effort of the Navy De- partment to hasten the construction of naval vessels, the shipbuilders have nar- rowly escaped the imposition of a series of penalties that might have been very oner- ous. As shown in the recently published an- nual report of Chief Sampson of the naval crdnance bureau, much of the delay in the completion of armcred vessels in the past has arisen from the failure of the ship- builders to deliver the detailed plans for the armor to the armor makers in proper season. In consequence, the vessels would sometimes be a full year at their docks after launching, waiting for the armor, without which they are unfit forgervice. Penalties Proposed. At a recent meeting of the board of naval bureau chiefs attention was called to this state of things, and Capt. Sampson suggest- ed that in all future contracts a clause be inserted requiring the delivery of these plate plans by the builders in a certain specified period, under heavy penalty for failures. This brought out another proposition from the engineer in chief, that penalties be also impored for any excess of weight in hull construction, so as to guard against the overdraft which many naval vessels show. He urged that as a similar set of penalties was imposed for excess weight of engines and boilers, the same rule should be applied to the hull of the vessel. Commodore Hichborn’s Opposition. These propositions were brought hefore Secretary Herbert for his approval, but were there met with a strong argument in opposition from Chief Constructor Hich- born. He asserted that the shipbuilders al- ready had to contend with three sets of penalties—one for delay in completing the vessel, one for deficiency in speed and one for overweight of the machinery. The de- partment had deprived the shipbuilder of the incentive, formerly held out, of a bonus for excess speed, and !f new penal- ties were now provided for it would be im- possible to secure blds for naval construc- tion at reasonable figures, and the Industry would be severely discouraged. Secretary Herbert maturely considered the subject, and, finally adopting the view of Comnmo- dore Hickborn, decided against the imposi- tion of additional penaltics. SSS THE H E SOCIETY. Report of the Operations During the Month of October. There was a full attendance of the execu- tive committee of the Humane Society yes- terday afternoon at the society’s room, No. 10 Sun building. The reports of the three agents for work done during the month of October were as follows: Agents Rabbitt and Reiplinger for the prevention of cruelty to animals report: Number of cases investigated, 806; cases remedied without prosecution, 761; cases prosecuted, #5; cases convicted, 41; acquit- ted, 4. Animals abandoned to die, 8; ani- mals killed by the agent, 14. Cases of beat- ing or whipping, 3; overloading, 2; overdriv- ing, 1; driven when galled, 22; driven wnen lame, 14; lack of food or shelter, 3; amount of fines imposed was $70. Of this $32 was not collected. The report of Agent Wilson for the pre- vention of cruelty to children was: Number of children taken from parent or guardian by the society’s agent, 32; children com- mitted to church orphanage, 6; to hospit: 4; to Industrial Home School, 6; to St. Jo: eph’s Orphan Asylum, 1; to Washington" City Orphan Asylum, 3; to German Orphan Asylum, Admission Without Admeasurement. The commissioner of navigation has issued a circular in regard to the admission of German vessels without admeasurement, 4n ! which he says: “This office being satisfiel that the rules concerning the admeasurement for tonnage of vessels of the United States have been substantially adopted by the government of Germany, German vessels arriving in the United States shall hereafter be deemed tc be of the tonnage denoted in their certifi- cates of registry or other national papers, and it shall not be nevessary for such ves- sels, when furnished with such certificates, to be readmeasured !n any port of the United States. The amount of any deduc- tions and omissions, however, not author- ized by the admeasurement laws of the United States, must be added to the regis- ter tonnage of such vessels.”’ ° The Election Tonight. Full election returns will be bulletined this evening on the big screen in front of The Star buildings. Arrangements have been made for a detailed, prompt and accurate service.

THE TWO MEN FRIENDLY Some of the friends of Gen. Harrison are of opinion that some of his opponents are overplaying their hands, Reference is to the story just put out, which represents the Harrison people as anxious to see Senator Carter retired from the chairman- ship of the republican national committee on account of his silver viéws. This story is characterized by these mien as pure non- sense. And for three reasons: Why Bring on the Fight. () Why bring on the silver contest with- in the party over this place? Such would be the effect of an effort to depose Mr. Carter, and such would be very bad poli- tics. There would be no justification for such a step. Mr. Carter has shown no dis- position to abuse his place. His silver views have all along been well known, but he has not sought in any manner to forward the silver cause through the prestige of his office of chairman. And even were he dis- posed to do so, his opportunity would be small. There will be little for him to do between now and the holding of the next national convention. The question of a chairman—either of selecting a new one, or of continuing Mr. Carter in his place—will come up then, and will be decided in con- junction with the candidate chosen and the platform adopted. The other procedure— that of undertaking to influence the matter of selecting a chairman by overt action at this time, or at any time soon—would be to put the cart before the horse—not to say the Cart-er before a possible dark horse. It is to nobody's interest to undertake to hurry this matter. The best republican leadership advises kindly negotiation rather than a club in dealing with the silver con- tingent of the party. In union only will be found strength and success. Friendly to Carter. (@) Gen. Harrison personally has never been inimical to Mr. Carter. Their rela- tions, on the contrary, have always been friendly. Mr. Carter was not General Ear- rison’s choice for chairman in 1892; but, for that matter, it is asserted, General Harri- son pushed nobody for the place. He ask- ed advice on the subject and showed a dispo- sition to leaxe the question largely to his friends. Mr. Carter was the third man proposed. Mr. Campbell of Illinois and General Sewell of New Jersey were unable to undertake the task. General Harrison accepted the suggestion as to Mr. Carter at once, and the latter accepted the place. The two men, it is declared, worked together in perfect harmony during the campaign, and after it was over Gen. Harrison thanked Mr. Carter for the very hard if unsuccess! battle he had directed. He never dreamed of attributing any part of the disaster met with to Mr. Carter's management, but took his medicine uncomplainingly and like a man. The two men are friendly today. ‘They met recently in New York,though not of course by appointment or for any par- ticular purpose, and spent some time pleas- antly together. They may have talked poli- tics, but nothing connected with the meet- ing is thought to warrant in the slightest degree the story now in circulation. Harrison Friendly to Silver. @) Gen. Harrison, so far from antagon- izing republicans friendly to silver, is him- self, it is stated, friendly to that metal. His record on that subject may, some of his friends believe, prove to be the basis of his strength before the next national conven- tion. He is not a free coinage man, but reither is he a gold man. He signed with- out hesitation the last piece of legislation enacted for silver’s benefit. The Sherman act, as is well known, was a compromise. The choice was between a free coinage act, which Congress seemed to have the power to pass—which the Senate actually did pass —and which Gen. Harrison as President would have vetoed, and something less than that made acceptable to the silver men. The President participated in some of the confer- ences that were held, and advised a compro- mise, and approved the one arrived at. That was the last thing done for silver by Con- gress. The next step taken by that body was the repeal three years later of the pur- chasing clause of the Sherman act, which left silver without a leg to stand on. Mr. Cleveland advised it, and the promise was made by some of his friends of the enact- ment of some remedial Yegislation. But nothing in that line has been done. Much in that line has been attempted and resisted, but the claim of the friends of Gen. Harri- son is that had he been in the White House instead of Mr. Cleveland, silver would not have been left exposed thus “naked to its enemies.” The Sherman act had failed of its purpose, and he would probably have ad- vised its modification; but he would also have advised, and have assisted in bringing about, some additional action by Congress fashioned in silver’s behalf in the light of up-to-date revelations. What His Friends Say. For these reasons—all borne out by com- mon knowledge and the record—it is idle, the Harrison men claim, for anybody to attempt to represent the ex-President as in any sense the enemy of silver, or inimical to the politi- cal fortunes of silver republicans. ————— EEE THE SUGAR WITNESSES. Trial of One of Them to Be Called Thursday. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter this afternocn that he would call for trial Thursday morning next the case of Broker Elverton R. Chapman, the al- leged recalcitrant sugar trust witness. On the outcome of Chapman’s trial will de- pend the action to be taken in the cases of the others indicted for the violation of the same statute, Henry O. Havemeyer, John E. Searles, john W. McCartney, Allen Lewis Seymour, John 8. Schriver and Elisha J. Edwards. It is expected that counsel for Broker Chapman will make a strong effort to post- pone the trial until a later date, but Dis- trict Attorney Birney will oppose such a motion vigorously and insist on the trial of the case Thursday es AN ALLISON CLUB. One Organized Last Night by Colored Citizen: There was a meeting of colored citizens at the armory, 938 N street northwest, last night for the purpose of organizing a re- publican league. G. C. Hart of Virginia was made chairman pro tem.; Capt. L. Collins of Virginia was elected permanent chairman; C. I. Taylor of West Virginia, vice chairman; E. L. Taylor of Pennsyl- vania, secretary; Geo.

Yates of Virginia. On motion of Mr. Hart the or- ganization took the name of the Allison Republican League. This motion was car- ried with great applause. It took the chair- man some time to bring the house to or- der. Sixty citizens joined the league. The chairmar® made a brief speech, urging that similar clubs should be organized all over the country. oe A Housewarming. The rew firm of Geo. E. Emmons & Co. opened its offices at 1216 F street northwest today, and from noon until 2 o'clock the members entertained many friends who calied to extend their good wishes.
