Big cata: SSOSS SBS O95 OS9S50 THE CHESAPEAKE BAY. ‘A Resurvey and New Charts Said to Be Needed. According to the chief of the coast and geodetic survey, the charts of Chesapeake bay issued by that office are defective by reason of their antiquity’ and because of the many changes that have occurred since the surveys on which they are based were made. It is said that the chief of the coast survey will make an effort during the present session of Congress to secure a special apprepriation for a resurvey of this !mportant water way. The changes in recent years in Chesapeake bay, he says, are due to the erosive action of the tides, which have washed away entire points, eaten Into the shore and deposited the m\- terial in the channels, so that neither the shore line nor depth of water shown upon the charts of this bay agree with the true condition of affairs at the present time. The charts ure, therefore, misleading to mariners and may be regarded as worth- Jess, If not dangerous. It is Mkely that among the first hydrographic work of the year under the coast survey will be, there- fore, the resurvey of Chesapeake bay. See Japan Has Conferred Orders. The Emperor of Japan has conferred the order of the Sacred Treasure upon two citi- zens of the United States in recognition of their valuable services to Japan. These gentlemen are Mr. H. W. Dennison, legal adviser of the foreign office at Tokio. and Mr. D. W. Stevens, American secretary of the Japanese legation in Washington. Mr. Dennison was formerly employed in the Treasury Department in this city. He went to Japan with a number of young Men about twenty years ago for the pur- pose of assisting in the application of modern methods on the civil service in that empire. He has been employed in various capacities until now he holds a responsible and lucrative position. Mr. Stevens was formerly Secretary of the United States legation in Tokio, but has been in the employ of the Japanese gov- ernment as counsellor to the legation in this city for many years. o——_____ A Amendment. ‘The President has made an amendment to the civil service rules, bringing about forty-five additional employes within the classified service. The rule as amended is as follows: “Special department rule, No. 1, 1s amended hy striking from the list of places excepted from examination in the department of labor statistical experts and temporary experts. So much of executive orders as provides for the appointment of special agents in the department of labor by non-competitive examination is hereby revoked.” ———— Mystery Story Fi Chapter. The final chapter of the mystery story, “Before They Were Married," will be pub- shed in next Saturday's Star. Guesses as to the solution of the mystery may be forwarded to The Star office until Wed- nesday evening at 6 o'clock, when the Polls close. As is well known the $250 of- fered in prizes are to be awarded only for explanations sent in by women and girls according to published cenditions. Ser ALLEGED PATENT INFRINGEMENT. Answer Filed Today by the Metro- politan Railroad Company. Answering the suit filed several weeks ago by Elias E. Ries and Albert H.

Saturday afternoon a young man went into Brodt’s store, on 11th street, and pur- chased a $3 hat. He tendered in payment for the hat a check for $15, to which the name E. W.

Complaint was made to the police, and the young man is now wanted for prosecution. ee Want to Be Policemen. There was a civil service examination of candidates for positions on the police force Feld this afternoon, at which six candidates were examined. There are no vacancies on the force at present, but it is Maj. Moore’s Gestre to have a number of eligibles on the list, so that there need be no reason for delay in filling vacancies as they occur. It is also thought that Congress will make pro- vision for an additional number of men, and Maj. Moore wants the city to have the benc- fit of their services as soon as possible. A Dollar n Bottle. Thomas A. McAllister, who keeps a gro- cery store ifi Southeast Washington, was in the Police Court today because he vio- lated the law Intended to protect bottl who have their bottles legally stamped and registered.

THE TRIAL ‘OF THE TEXAS. ‘Saturday to Sea, but Met ith mi Accident. The result of thei preliminary (run of the battle ship Texas Saturday ts given in.a letter frem Capt. Glass to Secretary Her- bert, received today. The captain says the vessel. got urder way from her anchorage ‘off Tompkinsvillé at 6:30 a.m., and proceed- ed to sea. After running the engines -at full power for a short time it was ascer- tained that the crosshead journal of the starboard low-pressure @ngine was heating. The corditicn of the journal and eccentrics rerdered it necessary to perform some work on them before the engines could be run at full pewer. This, however, can be done by the force on poard the ship, and it is ex- pected that tle Texas will go to sea tomor- rew morning to continue the trial, If not prevented by bad weather. SS ee The San Francisco at Beyrouth. A cable message was received at the Navy Department today saying that the flagship San Frarcisco arrived at Beyreuth, Syria, on her way to Alexandretta bay. She Start AFTER A CONVENTION (Continued from First Page.) the committee that the convention would go to the city making the highest financial bid. Chairman Carter shortly after 10 o’cloek let it be known that the speeches of the various orators selected to present the attractions of the different cities would be heard this afternooa, so that the national cecm.mittee would be free at the meeting to- morrow to merely decide where the con- vention should be held. Shortly afterward it was learned that Mr. Sam Allerton of Clicago and Mr. Levi Z. Leiter of Chicago were engaged with committeemen in as- certaining tha financial necessities of the committee. Mr. Allerton is worth $15,000,- 600 and Mr. Leiter $28,000,000. Mr. Leiter is a democrat, but he loves Chicago, and ineidentally owns the South Side railroad. In view of the fact that money was under- steod to be the prime factor in the selection o? a city, and that both Messrs. Allerton and Leiter were strong and willing bidders, the gossip in the Arlington began to take a decided Chicago tinge. Consultations the Order. The announcement of Chairman Carter that the committee would hear the speeches of the representatives of the various cities this afternoon was not at all relished by the Pittsburg and St. Louis contingents, who had depended largely upon their ability to persuade the individual members of the committee as they arrived today and tonight to come around to their way of thinking. Accordingly, consultations became the order of the morning, and rumors of combinations began to fill the air. It was said that St. Louis and San Francisco would join forces, but this was denied by Powell Clayton of Arkansas, wif declared that such a thing ¥-as an impossibility. Then it was asserted that the Pittsburg and St. Louis forces would come together, and this was met by the counter declaration that if any such agreement was entered into that Mr. de Young would immediately throw his in- fluence in favor of Chicago, of which city he is tlmost as much a resident as he is of San Francisco. New York seemed to he left entirely out of the calculations of all the wire pullers while these various deals were being talked of, and it was declared by those who were spoken to about it that Gotham was too far east for convention purposes in any event, Votes Necessary to a Choice. The total number of votes cast in the committee will be fifty-three, one from each of the forty-four states and the seven territories, inctuding Alaska, .Oklahoma and the District of Columbia, and the votes of Chairman Carter of Montana and Secre- tary Bliss of New York. Twenty-seven votes will therefore be necessary for a choice, and it is believed that there are more than that number of committeemen who will be influenced solely by the amounts of money offered by the various cities. A Chicago man declared today that so far as he was able to judge, Oshkosh or Duluth would have as ‘clear a field for se- lection as any metropolis if the checks ac- companying their bids were only large enough, and this sentiment seemed to be general. The Pittsburg defegation had its head- quarters in the new reception room, which was prettily decorated. The delegates were not chary In expressing their indignation at the action of Chairman Carter in cail- ing a meeting tais afternoon. One of them sald their prospects a week ago had been excellent, and that they were sure they would have improved them had they been given a chance to present their city’s quali- fications to the individual committeemen before the meeting, but they felt that they had been brought down merely to attend an auction sale from the developments to- day. While not altogether hopeless, it was evident their spirits were very much de- pressed. Another of the Pittsburgers said he was sure Chairman Carter’s pessimistic observances last night on the chances of republican success in 1896 were in the line of a hint for big campaign ccntributions from the contesting cities, and that the entranee of Mr. Leiter, a democrat, into the lists in behalf of Chicago, showed be- yond any question that the size of the check offered would alone dezide the ques- ton. Who Will Do the Talking. The Chicago delegation decided that the claims of the windy city should be presented by Mayor Swift and Mr. Sam Allerton. St. Louis would be put forward by Chauncey I. Filey, Mayor Walbridge and others, and Pittsburg will be introduced by Congress- man Dailzell, who will be followed by Chris L. Magee, Percy F. Smith, J. V. Patton, John Campbell, J. D. Flynn and others. After the announcement was made that tkere would be a meeting of the committee at 2 o'clock the St, Louis delegation held a meetirg and determined to play what it considered a trump card. The members discussed the new condition of affairs and a resolution declaring that all the hotels and other places of public accom- modation in St. Louis during the conven- tion week, in case the convention was Held there, would extend the same courtesies to eclored people as to whites, ard make no distinction between them. This was given publicity by Samuel Kennard of the dele- gation, and it was represented to be very gratifying to the colored members of the national committee, who were aware that similar treatment would not be extended in Chicago. Consequently, St. Louis stock took a slight boom. Col. Carson’s Experience. Col. Perry Carson, however, happered along at this time and ridiculed the idea of the action having any effect. “The colored people ain't botherin’ about their hotef 2coommodations,” said he. “I've been to a good many conventions and pave always been taken good care of, and Pex- pect to go to the next und get the same thing. All this talk obout our people want- ing first-class bridal-chamber hotel service is foolishness. I think Pittsburg will make a good showing in the race.” Col. Carson was warmiy greeted by sev- eral of his white colleagues on the com- mittec, and expressed to them his belief that he would bé a delegate to the coming convention. New York Not in the Race. It developed during the day that New York was not really in the race for the convention. Ex-Senator Platt said he had left New York yesterday and had not been made aware of any concerted movement in behalf of having the convention held there, and Col. Swords, the sergeant-at-arms of the national committee, said the same thing. Col. Swords said he beileved there would be a very earnest effort made to secure the democratic convention for New York, but he did not believe the republican gathering was very generally wanted thare. because he had heard nothing to that effect. Gen. Chipman Warmly Greeted. Gen. N. P. Chipmen, who is at the head and front with Michael de Young in the effort to have the convention in San Fran- cisco, is the same gentleman who repre- sented tae District of Columbia in Con- gress as 1 delegate during the territorial form of government. He has been receiv- ing much attention from his former friends and admirers, and is astounded at the de- velopment made in Washington since his departure from the city. He is now a lead- ing man in California. Financini Considerations. The constant talk about the various cities bidding for the convention caused those most interested to endeavor to ascertain the amount really needed by which its presence could be secured. Inquiry devel- oped that first and foremost the national republican committee owed $54,000, which amount would have to be provided before any other matters would be even consider- ed. Jt was also learned that the expenses of ithe committee until next November would be at least as much more, and it was said that any city entering the contest would therefore be compelled to start off with an offer of over $100,000 before it would even have so much as a chance, as the committee was determined to run into no more debt, and intended that the city chosen by it should make such a thing im- possible. It was freely rumored’ that the Chicago millionaires had offered, at the early morning conference, to give the com- mittee any sum it named which was within the bounds of reason, and some loungers in the corridors put the sum offered by Chi- cago at $250,000. This gossip, of course, made the visitors from other cities feel still more depressed. In conversaton with a Star reporter a well-known member of the committee said he was bound to follow his party leaders, of whom he regarded Senator Quay as the foremost, so far as he was personally con- cerned, and that he consequently would vete for Pittsburg, unless there were such strong arguments presented on behalf of $7.00 is 000006000 00000000000 sacrifice. as Suits that have selling all season long at $13.50, $12.50 and $10 = = morning—but we’ve never had ferings.

When askei if money was an argument he would consider, he promptly replied in the affirmative, und added that he believed nearly every other meniber of the committee would be influenced in the same way. May Be No Meeting Today. Along about half-past 1 o'clock it began to look as if there would be no mecting of the committee this afternoon. There had been a general and vigorous kick all along the line at what was regarded as an at- tempt to take snap judgment on the ques- tion, ‘and the influence of the antagonism began to be felt. It was declaredsthat the committee had been calle] to meet Lecem- ber 10, and that therefore an earlier meet- ing would be unfair to a number of the committeemen, who would not reach Washington until tonight and tomorrow morning, and therefore unjust to the cities which claimed to have their pledges. Then it was also pointed out that the New York delegation would not leave that city until this afternoon, and a meeting in its ab- sence would be disastrous to a large bedy of representative and influential repub- licans. Col. Swords told a Star reporter that he did not think there would be a meeting this afterncon, and the opinion soon grew general. None of the committeemen could, how- ever, tell anything definite about it. Mr. R. C. Kerens of St. Louis sald the meeting would probably be in the nature of a conference to let the speechmakers have their say and clear away prefiminaries for tcmorrow’s gathering. Mr. Manicy's Idea. Mr. Joseph Manley, however, managed to convey an intelligent idea @f what the com- mittee proposed to do. He said the mem- bers would meet, and if any of the repre- sentatives of the contesting cities desired to present their claims, they would be listened to, but there was nothing mandatury about it, and they could, if they desired, postpone their appearance until the regular meeting tomorrow. A Secret Seaston. At 2 o'clock Sergeant-at-Arms Swords an- rounced that the committee would meet in the barqueting hall, and that all except members of the committee would be ex- cluded at first. When the names of the states would be called, any member from a state having a city which desired to pre- sent its cleims for the xonvention would be permitted to bring in the gentlemen se- lected to present its claims, and the repre- sentatives of the other cities would also be admitted to hear the arguments they would afterward be called on to answer. Mr. De Young Ready to Bid. ‘The sssurance expressed by Chicago that the corvention would go to the city making the highest bid, and that the windy city would get it, received a little set back shortly after the committee room was got- ten ready for the gathering of the clans this afternoon: Some one asked Mr. Mike de Young of San Francisco if it was true the convention would go to the highest bidder. “I hope it is,” he replied, with strong ard significant emphasis. “I'd like to see any of them dluff me.” It was remembered when this episode was related that four years ago, when Mr. de Young was here on a similar mission, and another city offer- ed $25,000 for committee expenses, Mr. de Yeung tmmediately offered to personally give it $40,000 for “axle grease’ in case San Francisco was selected. At 3 o'clock the committee adjourned ur til tomorrow. —— ae THE TREASURY REPORT. Secretary Carlisle W Ready for Two or Three Dayan. Secretary Carlisle spent the day at the ‘Treasury Department, but excused himself to ali visitors, on the ground that he was very busy on his report to Congress.

John Tracey, superintendent of charities, has just been issued, printed in the same volume with the reports made by the officers in charge of various charitable and correctional in- stitutions of the District. The proposed appropriations for institutions and agen- cles supported entirely by publie funds amount to $426,068; appropriations récom- j mended for aided institutions aggregate 397,950. The report states that in response to requests for information from a con- gressional committee concerning juvenile dependents, twenty-two letters. with sixty- one inclosures, were sent to the committee. In the letters there were discussed a num- ber of recommendatons for new legislation emanating from several sources. After re- ferring to the charge made that a child named George Turner had received se- rious injury from a beating inflicted by the superintendent of the German Orphan Asylum, and the exoneration of the super- intendent by a committee of investigation, Col. Tracey says: “My own conviction, based upon careful observation, Is that whipping of minor de- pendents should very rarely be resort to; that it naturally tends to produce evils greater than {t can cure, and that far bet ter results can be secure] by other pun- ishments into which the element of t or momentary irritation is Jess likely to enter, and which would be more effectivé in correcting the child,without deteriorati: of the dignity and disctplinary contrel of the institutional guardian. Neither the re= ports above printed nor facts revealed by constant inspection and inquiry show any general or scrious abuse in this regartl to be prevalent in the District. I submit the question whether general regulation# on the subject shoull be issued or prohibi- tion of bodily punishmont need be enforced by law as a conditiea of appropriations.

The National Wool Growers’ Association at its meeting last Saturday adopted @ memorial to be presented to Congress fof the relief of the wool industry. Represen- tatives of sixteen states signed the mes morial. It will be presented to Congress by a committee, consisting of Frank P, Bennett of Boston, A. E. Shepard of Texas, Calvin Cowgill of Indiana, T. B. Catron of New Mexico, B. L. Crouch of Texas, M. F, Greely of South Dakota, Joseph Tweedy Texas, J. R. Dodge and W. T. Wieder Colorado. The memorial asks for a duty on merino wools and wools of the mutto® breeds of sheep of 12 cents per pound on unwashed, double on washed and triple on scoured, thus making but one class of these two kinds of wool. It asks for a duty of 8 cents per pound on third-class wools without reference to valuation. It is de- clared that these rates of duty are abso- lutely necessary to save the American wool industry from ruin. ——__—__-e O01 Lamps vs. Gan, Superintendent Ellen of the street lights ing department made complaint to the po= lice at policc headquarters this afternooft that some of the oil lamps in Southeast Washington were being extinguished. The lamps complained of are near*3d and streets and were recently substituted for the gas lamps, which were abandoned. This action on part of the authoritics caused a number of complaints to be made; and it is thought that the lights are being extinguished by some of those who are dissatisfied. Superintendent Ellen, speaking to a Stat reporter about the change,, said that the oil lamps are of more benefit to that seo- tion thun the gas lamps, for they ar lighted every night and are kept burnin all night, while the gas lamps are light: only when there is no moonlight expected. —__ Amateur Journalists’ Club. The Capital City Club of Amateur Journal- ists held its semi-monthly meeting Saturday evening, December 7, at the residence of Miss Blanche Noble, 2524 L street northwest. After the preliminary business was disposed of the members discussed with enthusiasm the benefits of amateur journalism and of membership in a club which promotes liter- ary pursuits. The feature of the Washing+ tonian, the club's official organ, was ably treated by its editor, Mr. Gus A. Schuldt. Social amusements and a delightful colla- tion completed the evening's enjoyment. The next meeting will be held at the residence of the Misses Chambers, 1763 13th street north+ west, Saturday evening, December 21. eS A Guefitting Regulation, The Commissioners today added the fol- lowing section to the gasfitting regula. tlons: “Stop-cock boxes’ for gas servi pipes shall be of a pattern approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columb! and shall be located tn sections 55 and 57 the plumbing regulation for water stop- cock boxes.
