SOUNDNESS AND STABILITY The National Board of Trade Demands Good Monetary System. eae 3 A Bankruptey! ‘Law is Also Recom- u mended and the Re-Establishment of Reciproetty Treaties Urged. a8 ——— Finances were the subject of the opening discussion at. the:inational board of trade this morning. The subject was brought up ky the report ofthe committee, to_which had been referred several resolution. >ear- ing upon the money and currency ques- tions.’ The report stated that the unsettled end unfortunate conditions which existed @ year ago were practically unchanged and declared that the establishment of a sound, stable and efficient monetary system is es- sential to:the restoration of confidence and the prosperity of industrial interests. Such restoration was declared to be an imme- diate and urgent duty of Congress. “Th@ essential provisions im.such a sys- tem,” gaid the réport, ‘‘shoukl include the relief ¢f the government by the retirement and cancellation ‘of the legal tender notes, under ‘safe and proper conditions as to time and method; also provision for the revision and extension of the national bank- ing system under conditions. which will maintain our monotary stan@ard and ser cure to the country a safe and ample cur- rency to take the place of the notes so re- tired.”” : By a vote of 43 to 9 the report of the committee was adcpted. The recommendations of the committee on bankruptcy were also adopted. The committee declared that the merchants of the United States had almost. unanimously petitioned Congress to enact: a law pro- viding for both’ voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy. It was not believed that an involuntary bankruptcy law would meet the requirements, and the board resolved to reaffirm its support of the Torrey bank- ruptey bill. The committee to which was referred sev- eral preposed changes in the postal laws was given until the evening session to complete its deliberations. ‘The committee to which was referred several resolutions bearing upon the recip- rocal trade relations of the United States and the Spanish-American states and col- onies, reported that the abrogation of the treaties existing previous to 1504 had been followed by very material decrease in such business. A resolution was therefore of- fered providing that the national board of trade urgently demand of Congress the adoption of such laws as will ze-establish and secure the former reciprocal trade re- lations between Mexico and the Central and South American countries and Spanish- American colonies and this country. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and a recess was taken at 1:30 for luncheon. Consular Service Reforms. The session of the National Board of Trade yesterday afterncon was devoted to the arrangement of much routine business, including the eppointment of committees and an Intelligent discussion of the neces- sity of reforms in the consular service of the United States.

Leeson ‘were added to the committee on the consular service. The reading of the report of the chairman of this committee, Mr. Jonathan A. Lane of Boston, was listened to with much attention. He de- scribed the attempts made by the commit- tee to secure an improvement in the meth- ods of making appointments in the consu- lar service and said some progress had been made, but impressed his hearers with the necessity of continuing the agitation under this. and future administrations without cessation. Mr., J. R. Leeson made a lengthy and scholarly address on the same subject and favored the appointment of a congressional committee to investigate the consular serv- ice. It was decided to publish both. Mr. Lane’s report and Mr. Leoson's address and for- ward copies to the President, the Secreta- ries of the Treasury and State and both houses of Congress. ——_ William Henderson Missing.

He is Quite Active for a Man Re- tired From Politics. HIS PLANS HAVE PROBABLY CHANGED Stories of His Future Movements Taken in a Pickwickian Sense. WHAT HE WILL DO For a man who has retired from politics. Richard Croker still possesses much that interests men who remain active in politics, In fact, there appears to be a disposition in political circles not to attach too serious @ meanirg to the announcement—made with suspicious frequency and emphasis—- that Mr. Croker has hung up his shield and will go to battle no more. The First Story. When Mr. Croker returned from England lest fall it was stated that ne would re- main at home a short time—maybe until after the November election. He had come cn short notice. Private affairs alone ex- plained the visit—so private that particu- lars were withheld. Would he take ar pert in the pending contest? Nose wha ever. He was out of politics. He wished for the success of the democratic ticket, of ccurse. The time would never come when the success of the democracy would not be dear to him. But what could he do? He had becn out of the country for months, Was aot familiar with the lines of the en- gagement, and so, even if he had time and the inclinstion to be active, could not hope to render any service. He would hurry up his business, and go back to his racing stable as soon as possible. How His Plans Changed. The situation for the local democrac: which was most unpromising when M Croker landed, soon began to improv The old leader found opportunity, under heavy pressure, to confer with his old as- sociates, and some very effective combina- tions were made. On election day the de- mocracy in New York city won, and Mr. Croker was accorded a liberal share of the credit of the victory. His plans se®med to undergo a change. The talk of his hurry- ing back to England ceaged, and the pre: sure of his private business was greatly, Croker iy i now months after the time first set—preparing to take up matters of the turf again. He goes from here to New York to dine with his friends of Tammany Hall, “and then will go abroad. It is stated that his stay will be a long one. The racing season in England will be brilliant. The bookings Promise great sport. Mr. Croker’s ho: are entered for some of the richest siake: They will need every moment of his person- al attention. And will they not command his full time? Sure thing! Neglect big money and turf fame to come hack home and help fit out a contingent for a fight almost certain to go against the democrac That would be most unwise from a_bu ness point of view. Besides, Mr. Croker 1s entirely out of politics. He will continue to sympathize wth the democracy, but he will be able to feel as much sympathy in England as at home. Why cross the ocean simply to sympathize? In a Pickwickian Sense. All of this talk has in political circles its Pickwickian signification. A key goes with it. Tae political sage, still in health and in Ligh credit with his associates, is never so much in politics as when declaring that he is entirely out of politics. It is a modest way he has of diverting the attention of the masses from himself for awhile for a pur- pose. Mr. Croker, it is predicted, will be back in New York in good time to direct the activity of his party in this year's cam- paign. He was never so necessary to his party as now. He is in touch with the leaders of all factions, His relations with Senators Hill and Murphy “are very close. He is likewise on terms with ex-Secretary Whitney. Secretary Lamont is his friend. They all advise with him. He is easily the shrewdest and most successful manager the party has ever had in New York, and not improbably, it is thought, may come to manage the state campaign as well as that of the city. + +_____ The Funeral of John Tyler. The funeral of Mr. John Tyler, a son of President John ", took place this morn- ing from his late residence, No. 1217 B street southeast. The services were con- ducted by Archdeacon Gilbert F. Williams, rector of Christ P. E. Church, assisted by Rey. Thomas O. Tongue, rector of Grace P. E. Church, South Washington. Only a few of the most intimate friends of the family attended the services, which were private: Among these were D. N. Morgan, treasurer of the United States; Dr. W. W. Hubbell, who was a member of the Philadeiphia bar with Mr. Tyler almost fifty years ago; Capt. T. J. Spencer, R. D, Mabley, James Nourse, G. Washington Ball, and others, and a del- egation representing the confederate vet- erans. Although the request had been made that flowers should be omitted, the casket was covered with beautiful floral tributes. The honorary pallbearers were Messrs. D. N. Morgan, Dr. J. E. Cox, Dr. G. W. Crop- ley, G. W. Ball, S. M. Waggaman, Dr. J. B. Porter, W. D. Brace and A. Devine. The active pallbearers were members of the or- der of Jonadabs, with which Mr. Tyler had been connected for many years, and were Messrs. J. J. Weed, A. 8. Dent, A. H. Ra- gan, J. E. Hibbs, W. A. Knapp and Edward Mullin. The remains were placed tem- porarily in a vault in the Congressional cemetery. ee, Ohio's Delegates-nt-Large. It is stated that at the conference of re- publican leaders at Cleveland, O., Monday night, was practica ettled, so far as the preliminary conference could settle it, that M. A. Hanna and James H. Hoyt of Cleve- land and Senator-elect Foraker and Gen. Bushnell will be the delegates-at-large to the St. Louis convention. There is no doubt that Ohio will be united for McKinley, and the purpose now ts to provide, against fu- ture friction and coniiicts between the two elements of the republican party in the state. Chicago's te for Art. Official figures show that the exhibition of the Dore pictures at Chicago has drawn greater crowds than in any other city in the world. In three days the visitors to the collection there numbered over 13,500. No such record has ever been made before, even in London, where the Dore gallery ‘was a permanent institution for twenty-one years. ——_—_—__+e+--____ Series of Tragedies. In a family quarrel at Kyle, W. Va., Mon- day morning Mrs. Lizzie Savage was shot and instantly killed by Thomas Burns, her stepson. After the shooting, Burns went to the barn and fired a bullet through bis left breast, causing instant death. As soon as his young wife saw ‘che lifeless body she fainted, and after betag revived, went to the house and took poison. It was with great difficulty that her life was saved. soe Fell Dead in the Pulpit. Rev. T. B. Hargrove, pastor of the Meth- odist Church at Coldwater, Miss., dropped dead in the pulpit Sunday. He had cffered prayer and given out his text, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and ye shall be saved.” These were his last words. With a moan he fell heavily, and when two phy- sicians who were in the church reached him,. life was extinct. Heart disease was the supposed caure. = ees Rarely Escaped Alive. The Hotel Broadway, the largest hostelry at Nantucket, Pa., was destroy+d by fire Mcnéday morning. The flames started in the boiler room in the basement end gained headway so rapidly that it was impossible to save anything. The inmates barely ¢s- caped with their lives, not being able to save the’r clothing. The loss of the buildirg and furniture is about $20,000, upon which there was an in- surance of $11,000. _THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY’ 29, 1896-FOURTEEN PAGES. | CHANCE ABOUT GEORGETOWN Why the Work on the Potamac Street Sewer Has Bee 8: pped. A Company Demands an Indemnity BondSpumbarion Church Building Plans—Other Matters of Interest. The work on the sewer in lower Potomac street between the canal and the river has been stopped. The sewer is only 400 feet in length, and is designed to connect with a sewer on the north, which runs under the carnal, while its mouth is at the tail race which carries off the water from the mill races of the various factories in the vicin- ity. The entire length of the sewer has been laid, and all that remains to be done is to construct the reducing sewer so as to connect with the D-shaped sewer just a few feet from the edge of the canal. The oll sewer runs directly under the old Pioneer Mill building, whichis now used by the Washington Ice Manufacturing Company, and for the entire square is inaccessible for repairs, At the north end ef the sewer three mill races are leeated,-one of which was found to be so-decayed that.a new ope has been put im. Another race, sup- plying power for the fiouring mills of G. W. Cissel, has caved in, while a third race, which furnishes power to the Washington Ice Company, is still intact, but over which some trouble has arisen. The ice company, fearing that its race wll be injured and the plant be forced to close, wants an indemnity bond, so as to secure temuncration for the lost time in case any accident of this nature occurs. Lyons Brothers, the contractors, do not feel that it is their duty to furnish the indemnity bond and the District.Commissioners are wrestling with the problem. Tae company threatens to apply for an injunction from the courts in case its demands are not granted, and to avoid this the Commission- ers are endcavoring to find out how they can furnish such a bond. In the mean- time the ice company wants the place cleared, as the excavation interferes with its business to a considerable extent. In the meantime work on the sewer is sus- pended. Dumbarton Church Edifice. The builéing ccmmittee of Dumbarton ‘Avenue M. E. Church held a meeting last evening. The plans of the proposed edifice were submitted by Architect Palmer, and the work fully explained. Members of the committee suggested a number of changes in some of the details, and these will be made. Another meeting of the committee will not be held until the revised plans have been completed and presented for adoption. The congregation expects to start the work in a few months, and push it right along. The luncheon recently held by the ladies of the church, for the benefit of the building fund, at Masonic Hall, netted over $100, Notes of Interest. With the talk of the probability of the refunding of the floating debt of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad comes the old rumor that work will be commenced on the Georgetown branch of the line. Whatever the probability may be, the indications at present do not point to any change in the existing state of affairs. The H. H. Club, a leap year organization, the membership of which is composed en- urely of young ladies. many of whom are fiom Georgetown, will give a dance this evening at St. Joseph's Hall. The remains of Capt. Nehemiah Hayden were this afternoon removed from the vault at Rock Creek cemetery and interred at Oak Hill. The funeral of Mrs. Bowles was held this afternoon from Mt. Zion M. B. Church. The interment was at Mt. Zion cemetery. —_ ONLY FOURTEEN ¥ ‘ARS OLD. Yet She Was in the Police Court and Her Infant Child. Ellen Caneday, a colored girl, fourteen years old, whose mother charges that she is incorrigible, was before the Police Court today, and an application was made to have the young infant of the child mother turned over to the board of children’s guardians. The girl's mother, who carried the infant in her arms, appeared, and told the court that she had been unable to do anything with her daughter. Officer Wilson of the Humane Society told the court that the girl had been sent to the work house because her mental condition had been questioned and while there she gave birth to the child. The doctors found that there was no in- sanity in the case, but that the girl’s con- duct was the result of her naturally de- praved condition. In court the girl's conduct was repre- hensible, for she was boisterous and pro- fane and refused to do what the court or- dered her to do. - Ellen was sent to the reform school and the child was turned over to the board of guardians.
