OF L. A Long and Stormy Mecting of Dis- trict Assembly 49. A special meeting of District Assembly 49, Knignts of Labor, was held last night in New York for the purpose of receiving reports from the delegates who attended the convention of the General Assembly held recently in Washington. The meeting convened at 7:30 o'clock and did not adjourn until midnight. The meeting was probably one of the most stormy in the history of District 49. That a disruption had occurred no one would deny, and ex-General Secretary Will- iam MacNair, when questioned about the action of a large number of the members who surreptitiously left the hall at 10:30, said it was optional with any one to leave District Assembly 49 if he feit so disposed. No one wonld explain why General Master Workman Sovereign left the meeting at the same time. Mr. Sovereign refused to be interviewed, and meanwhile pandemonium reigned in th@ meeting. Thomas B. McGuire and Charles B. French of the executive committee of D. A. 49 were reticent, and would not say that a disrup- tion had actually occurred, and added that the business of the meeting was simply to hear the reports of the delegates who at- tended the last general convention. Great confusicn arose as to the nature of the attacks which the socialists have made within the last two weeks upon the general officers of the Knights of Labor. Grave dissensions have of late arisen in D. A. 49, and a number of the leaders are said to be in favor of keeping out the dis- gruntled element, while the latter threaten to sever their connection with District 49. Already 2,50) pants and vest makers in N York, Brooklyn and Brownsville have with- drawn from D. A. 49 and become affiliated — the United Garment Workers of Amer- ica. ‘That the officers of D. A. 49 were threaten- ed with disruption at the meeting last night no one would deny, but at the same time it was said that after the present crisis had passed away D. A. 49 would still live. soe i DID MR. GOULD PAYt His Attorney Refuses to Make Any Statement. In regard to the reported settlement of the Gould-Nicolaus case, in which a check for $40,000 was involved, and which, it is said, has been settled by the payment by George Gould of $10,000 in cash to Zella Nicolaus, Mr. Wins- low Pierce, who acts as attorney for George Gould, Saturday: ‘To say the least, I regar this asea most extraordinary statement. Acting, as I do, as counsel for Mr. Gould, any statement from me would be improper, and I cannot, nor do I intend, to thake one.” +--+ e+ ____ An American's Gift to Paris. Bright weather yesterday shone upon the unveiling of the group of statuary of Washington and Lafayette, modeled by the sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, and presented to the city of Paris by Joseph Pulitzer of New York. A notable assem- blage witnessed the unveiling, among the company present being Mr. Henry Vignaud, first secretary of the United States em- bassy; Major Sanford C. Kellogg, military attache, and Lieut. R. P. Rodgers, naval attache of the embassy; William E. Quin. by, United States minister to the Neth lands; Samuel E. Morse, United States con- sular general in Paris; Gen. Anson G. M Cock of New York; M. Bertholdi, the sculp- tor; the prefect of the Seine; M. Fromige, designer of the pedestal; a number of French officials and many ladies. The site of the bronze group is at the west end of the Place des Etats Unis, in the most fash- fonable quarter of Paris. = —— A WASHINGTON WOMAN’S SUCCESS, Miss Molly Elliot Seawell Awarded a Three-Thousand-Dollar Prize. The New York Herald announced yester- day that Miss Molly Elliot Seawell of this city had been awarded the prize of $3,000 for the best novelette, entitled “The Sprightly Tale of Marsac,” submitted in competition for the money prizes for stories offered by. that journal. Miss Seawell has a large circle of friends in Washington, who will heartily congratulate her on her success. In an- nouncing the award, the Herald says: “The winner in the novelette competition, Miss Molly Elliot Seawell, is another young woman who is not unknown to fame, and who has fulfilled the promise of her earlier works in the matured performance of ‘The Sprightly Tale of Marsac.’ It is well named. No better adjective than sprightly could have been chosen to characterize it. It is full of a mischievous and elfish humor. I describes the shifts and straits of a couple o! students jn Paris, and details the extraor- dinary manner in which they lifted them- selves to affluence and fame and made friends and adulators of those worst foes of student life—creditors. “Miss Seawell began to write almost from the nursery, ard was a contributor to periodicals in her teens. Her first signed story was ‘Maid Marian,’ which was subse- quently dramatized by her for Rosina Vokes and played with great success by that ac- tress until her untimely death. She followed this up with other sketches and stories, and with the novels of ‘Threckmorton’ (18%) and ‘Children of Destiny’ (1893). It is a note- worthy fact that the winning of prizes is no novelty with Miss Seawell. Her first story for boys, ‘Little Jarvis,’ won a prize of $500 offered by the Youth’s Companion. So great was the popularity of this story that it was made the first of a series entitled “Young Heroes of Our Navy,’ published by D. Apple- ton & Co. The succeeding three volumes were all written by Miss Seawell and main- tained the success won by the first. “Another noteworthy fact is that Miss Sea- well contributed an article to the Critic in 1891 on “The Creative Faculty in Woman,’ which created discussion -that raged in the magazines for months, and was joined in by no less a person than Andrew Lang. Miss Seawell took the negative side of the ques- tion. It is certainly odd that the one woman who disbelieves in the creative faculty in woman should take a prize over a thousan competitors, of whom presumably one-hall were men.” The other Herald prizes were awarded as follows: Fiction contest.—First prize, $10,000, to Julian Hawthorne, for novel entitled “Be- tween Two Fires;’’ second prize, $2.000, to Rev. W. C. Blakeman of Islip, N. ¥., for novel entitled “The Black Hand;” third prize, $1,000, to Edith Carpenter (Mrs. Bond. Valentine Thomas) of Millville, N. J., for novel entitled “Your Money or Your Life.” Short story contest.—The prize of $2,000 to Edgar Fawcett, for story entitled “A Ro- mance of Old New York.”* Epic poem contest.—The prize of $1,000 to poem entitled “Abraham Lincoln,” by “Sane gamon” (unknown). ADMIRAL CARPENTER'S RETURN. Hurrying to the Bedside of His Sick Wife. Rear Admiral C. C. Carpenter, late com- mander of the Asiatic squadron, arrived at San Francisco Friday. He is hastening homeward to the bedside of his wife, who is very ill at Portsmouth, N. H. He took the first eastbound express he could get. The admiral is to retire from the rlavy in February, as he will then be sixty-four years of age. It Is not the intention of Secretary Herbert to relieve him until then. However, his wife, who has been in failing health for some time, became worse recently and when the news was cabled to Admiral Carpenter he asked for immediate relief on that score. Secretary Herbert granted the request, and at once ordered Commodore McLain to relieve him. That gentleman arrived a few days ago, accompanied by Lieuts. Reamy and gan, and sailed Saturday on the City of Rio de Janeiro. TO PRISON FOR LIFE. A Spanish Officer Sentenced for Yield- ing to the Cubana. Lieut. Feijo and Sergt. Canovas, who were tried by court-martial in Havana on the charge of having surrendered Fort Pelayo, on the Zaza river, to the forces of Antonio Mac€o without a proper defense, were sen- tenced Saturday. The IMeutenant was con- demned to imprisonment for life and the sergeant was discharged from custody, us it was shown that he only obeyed the orders of his superior officer. “The tree is known by the fruit it bears.’ so Dr. D.
