The friends of the government say that the moderate senators desire a settlement of the disputes, and, according to the Rappel, the radical deputies will not raise a debate on the subject when the chamber meets to- morrow; but, it is added, the moderates will do so, and the members of the extreme left intend to stump the country in protest against the attitude of the senate. M. Bourgeois, the premier, has informed the members of the left that the government does not desire to again raise the question of confidence in the chamber of deputies tomorrow, preferring to wait for further action upon the part of the senate. The Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette of London telegraphs that the po- litical situation in France is growing more serious. i “Those who are best informed,” this cor- respondent writes, “consider that the cab- inet has a card’ up its sleeve which will cause considerable surprise. It is certain that the ministry means to stop where it is, and there is a possibility of a coup d'etat, the government may declare its intention to govern without the senate. A states- man tells me that the obstacle is Gen. Saus- sier, the governor of Paris, and generalis- simo in case of war. Saussier is old, op- posed to a change and prepared to march against a revolutionary movement with the utmost vigor. A few months ago he sald to cne of the moderate ministers in power: ‘Keep me so long as you possibly can. You will need me and one regiment to master the Parisian populace, and, with Saussier, the soldiers obey their chief.’ “Henry Rochefort remarked to me yes- terday: ‘Seven years ago, two lines in “the Intransigeant (Rochefort’s newspaper), headed “Down with the senate!” would have sufficed for 200,000 men to immediately march upon the Luxembourg (the building formerly a palace of royalty and also used by Napoleon, which in i870 was named the Palace of the Senate. That body now oc- cupies it during its sions). Now, there is such lassitude that a column would not call a dozen men to arms.” “A radical leader sald to me today: ‘If a pretender is willing to riek his life he would now have a chance of winning the game.’ “The radicals prove that they regard the situation as revolutionary by deciding that the parliamentary bureau shall sit en per- manence. This is an echo of the great rev- olution. : “The latest information is that the sen- ate hopes, on Friday, to pass a vote of cen- sure against the government by even a more crushing majority than on Saturday. oo—____ Another Chance for His Life.

GATHERING Annual Enoampment of ithe De- : partment of the Potomac, PROGRAM OP BOSIESS EXPECTED Tke Commander-in-Chief: to Be Present and Make an Address. THE COMMITTEES The annual encanfpment of the Depart- ment of the Potomac, G. A. R., will open next Monday, February 24. These yearly gatherings are always occasions of much moment to the veterans, and special in- terest is to be added to the coming en- campment by the presence of Commander- in-chief Walker. ‘The assistant quarter- master general, James E. McCabe, is at present busily engaged in the preparation and fitting of. Grand Army Hall for the business of the encampment, and the chief of staff, James B. Carter, has his hands full attending upon the committees con- nected with the encampment, keeping in communication with the several chairmen and seeing that the committees have the necessary facilities and accommodations till they have respectively comipleted their business. Program for the Encampment, Department Commander Anderson ex- pects to open the encampment as early as 6 o'clock Monday evening. The first busi- ness transacted will be the receipt of the report of the committee on credentials. The annual address of the department com- mander {is to follow, after which the nomi- nation of officers is booked to take place. During the eveniug Commander-in-chie! Walker will be cscorted to the hall by the Old Guard and the Mt. Pleasant Field Band, and, after being formally received, will ‘ address the encampment. Gen. Walker will in all probability reach thia city Sunday afternvon, and in that event he will be met at the depot and properly escorted to the Ebbitt Hofse. Monday evening about 9 o'clock the encampment will adjourn to the hotel mentioned and there tender Gen. Walker a banquet on an elaborate scale. It is expected that Gen. Walker will be benqueted both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of rext week, on the latter date by the Priscners cf War, companions of Gen, Walker, while confined in Libbey prison. In view of these circumstances the second session of the encampment will noi occur until Thursday evening, when the election ef officers will take place. There will be another night devoted to the busi- ness of the encampment, and it ts hoped to get through by that time, although the annual encampments have been known to extend through seven days, The business to be transacted includes the reading of reports of all the departmental officers, but so far as is now known, nothing spe- celal will be brought up for éonslderation. Commander Anderson, however, is to make vera] recommendations of an tmportant nature in, his address. be The Election of Officers. The election of officers, for some weeks past, has been the cause of considerable discussion. The only candidates in the field for department commander ‘are John McElroy and J. H. Howlett, both of whom gre confident of securing ‘the bffice. Dr. Hamilton is the only candidate, up to date, for the office of senior vice commander, while Dr. Raub is the solitary aspirant for ors of junior vice commawiler, as is §. Johnson for the medical director- skip. No one, as yet, is in the icld for the office of chaplain. Capt. James M. Edgar of the Old Guard Will serve as officer of the day, and Lieut. W. H. Fuss as officer of the guard during the encampment, and they will make such details and arrangements as .they- deem best for excluding unauthorized persons from the encampment and for preserving order during the proceedings, Members of the staff of the coaimander-in-chief res!dent within the Department of the Potomac will be admitted to the platform in the hall of the encampment on application to the cffi- cer of the guard, leaving with him their names and addresses.

To facilitate the business and economize the time of the encampment all posts and comrades haying resolutions to bring be- fore the encampment are _ requested by Ccmmander Anderson to deliver them to the assistant adjutant general as early as possible. For the convenience of the com- mittee on resolutions it is further requested that each resclution, or set. of resolutions, shall contain a brief explanatory:statement at the foot thereof. Such an explanatory statement would, in many cases, ft is ex- plained, do away with thei necessity for formal preambles to proposed resolutions. The committee on credentials and resolu- tions will meet at headquarters on Friday, the 2ist instant, at 7:30 mame Priday. P. S. E. Faunce, historian ‘be tte depart- ment, has requested that all;comrades hav- ing or knowing of anything, in print or manuscript, relating to the Grand Army of the Republic in the Department of the Po- tomac before 1869, will please address him at headquarters. ood —_——___.

OF L, AND TRADES UNION President Maghan Answers General Fore- man Bishop Attitude of the Trades Union in the District — The Building Trades and the Beer Boycott. The publication in The Star of the fact that preparations were about completed for the organization of a branch of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor in the District, and the interview with General Worthy Fore- man Bishop of the Knights of Labor, printed subsequently, have caused a great deal of talk in labor circles. In reference to the matter, President Maghan of the Brick- layers’ Union, a prominent trades union man, today said to a Star reporter: “Of course, Mr. Bishop is not disposed to think favorably of the proposition to form a cen- tral body of trade union organizations in this District. As a consistent and very much interested K. of L. man he should be Opposed to trade unionism on general prin- ciples. This indisposition to tolerate union organization and recognize union ¢ontrol has resulted in the disintegration of the order. “Mr. Bishop's statement that relief for labor troubles can best be found in follow- ing out the principles of the Knights of Eabor is honestly questioned from a political standpoint. while the methods pursued have in most instances resulted In failure and dis- organization. During that period when the crder was at the flood tide of power, when the directive intelligence of the body had under control and management a larger array of workers than was ever enlisted un- der a single standard, when it was possible to demonstrate the ability of the K. of L. to successfully manage the trade relations of the membership, the most disastrous fail- ures in the history of the labor of this coun- try occurred. “These were the series of railway strikes and boycotts on the Gould or Southwest- ern system, which involved 25,000 employes, a large number of whom were forced into idleness and want. From that period to the present ill-advised strikes have been hastily ordered and ill-judged boycotts have been imposed, the result of which has been the disorganization of the order. Ill-Advised Boycotts, “It has generally been the policy of the Knights of Labor to organize an assembly of those who have rever had experience as organized workers, and a very short time thereafter declare a boycott—avowedly In the interest of the unsophisticated local-- ard involve all labor bodies in the trouble against the better judgment of those who have had years of experience in trades or- ganization, and this has very remarkably been the case of this District. “After the experience of the Anacostia railroad strike the gentiemen who engineer- ed that move, which resulted in d'sgrace- ful failure, should have considered a while before involving the labor of the District in an uncalled-for boycott. “The fact has been abundantly demon- strated not only here, but elsewhere throughout the country, that the Knights of Labor, if unrestrained, can precipitate enough trouble in twenty-four hours to engage the active attention of labor for a year. ‘The statement by General Worthy For2- man Bishop that it was impossible for trade unions to accomplish any good results prior to the organization of the snights of Labor has become a threadbare asser- tion, which has been frequently disproved by the industrial history of the country. That the methods of trade unionism are more practicable and effective is evidenced by the enormous increase of union org nfortunately, the ‘well-defined princi- of the Knights of Labor have more of sentiment than busi ; trades unionism has more of business than sentiment. Had the order of the K. of L. been confined to the education of the masses along the lines marked down by Uriah Stevens, and not attached the trade feature and entered the legitimate field of trades unionism, it would perhaps have accomplished te some t the political purpcses of the order. It has failed in both instances, and has ceased to be an important factor either in politics or trade. “The charge that the American Federa- tion of Labor is based upon the selfish idea of assisting only members of the some craft is untrue, if the avowed purpose of that organization to unify and solidify the labor of the country for mutual support is correct. The truth is, the Knights of Labor have opposed that A. F. of L. for years, and this opposition has resul*ed in the ‘survival of the fittest.’ The Building Trades Council. “The criticism of the action taken by the Bricklayers’ Un‘on of this ‘city in refer- ence to the beer boycott ordered by D. A. 66, K. of L., is uncalled for. It is under- stood that that organization has no apol- ogy to make to any one for the position it has taken. It has been neither bribed by the brewery bosses nor bulldozed by the bosses of D. A. 66. Neither is it an at- tempt, as alleged by Mr. Bishop, to betray the interests of the labor organizations of the District. They very sensibly recognize the fact that the interests of that organiza- tion are closely allied with the interests of other labor organizations, and that any ef- fort on behalf of a few ‘self-appointed ad- visers and manipulators to involve them in unnecessary trouble by intruding their offices upon the men of Gambrinus Assem- bly shouldbe rebuked. “The Bricklayers’ Union is composed largely of men who have had years of ex- perience in.organizations. They have been through strikes and lockouts, and have learned those lessons which it would be well for others to learn who presume to dic- tate and criticise. They are capable of at- tending to matters relating to themselves, and are not disposed to be dictated to or controlied arbitrarily by those who, not- withstanding the experiences of the past, are yet in the kindergarten stage. “The reminder to the Building Trades Council that they are bound by the action of D. A. 66 is entirely gratuitous. That body is composed of representatives as in- telligent and as honest as that of the Fed- eration and D. A. 66, and are as capable of wise counsel as either of these bodies. Why the council should be chargei with attempt- ing to break the soifdarity of labor in this instance trades union men cannot under- stand, when the very fact of its existence breaks the solidarity which exists in this District—the solidarity which has been maintained by an entire submission to the control of the Knights of Labor. “The organization of that council insti- tuted a representative body controlled by trades union organizations, and for the first time in this District has broken the so! darity of an organization whose member- ship 1s solemnly sworn to maintain the supremacy of the Knights of Labor above that of any other labor organization on earth.” —_—._—_ : BOLD BANK ROBBERY. Threw a Lot of Gold in a Sack and Escaped. = Three masked men entered Market Street Bank, a small institution in the Spreckels building, in San Francisco, shortly after 10 a.m., yesterday, and ordered Cashier Hop- kins and Bookkeeper Hayhurst to throw up their hands. — ‘ Hopkins, who was at the counter, refused, and one robber fired, a bullet passing his head, but striking neither official. The robbers then climbed through the hole in the wire screen at the cashier’s win- dow, and seized the two bank clerks and hustled them into the vault. A piece of carpet caught in the door of the vault, and the robbers did not take time to fasten the vault door. Hastily dumping a pile of gold on the cashier's counter into a sack, they escaped. Although Market street was crowded with passing people, the robbers made their es- cape. It is supposed they secured only $800. SHOT AT HIS OWN DOOR. Strange Murder of a Banker at Barrie, Ont. J. A. Strathy, manager of the Bank of Commerce at Barrie, Ont., for the last fif- teen years, was shot and fatally wounded yesterday by an unknown man, who called at his house, and upon Strathy’s appear- arce drew a revolver and shot him. The assassin then fied. Strathy was one of the most popular and well-known bankers in the province. Chicago Representatives, THE NAMES THAT ARE MOST FAVORED New Features That Have Been Added to the Lively Campaign. SILVER GETS SCORCHED ee The Chicago slates are being arranged. Democrats with soapstone pencils in one hand and a piece of sponge in the other are assiduously engaged in putting down Tames ind showing them to one another and then wiping out this or that one in an effort to make all the lists agree. All democrats are not seeing all the slates, however. 7 There are several sets of democrats, as is well known, and any number of slates, but all are in industrious activity, and the scratching and wiping is widespread and incessant, The Most Popular List. It is possible for a rank outsider to catch a casual glimpse of what is now re- garded us the popular slates, and upon these ara to be fornd several well known names, Ivbeled respectively, “for delegate from the District of Columbia to the demo- cratic national convention at Chicago.” Upon these, like Abou Ben Adhem’s, that of John Boyle leads all the res! ‘East side, west side, all around the town.” Mr. Boyle scems to be the, favorite candidate with those democrats who are fond of describing themselves as being dyed-in-the- wool. Then comes Chairman William Hol- mead of the democratic central committee, and E. L. Jordan, whe is one of the lead- ing powers in the Liquor Dealers’ Associ- ation, and Franklin Pierce Morgan of Cap- itol Hill and the newspaper world. The name of Edwin Forrest of Georgetown, wid2ly known and popular personally, and higily thougkt of by bis fellow lawyers, is on miny of these slates, aud some of them contain Michael J. Colbert and others Jas. F. Shea. Much Secrecy Observed. Other slates of other sets of democrats vary in their contents, but they are quick- ly hid when anybedy unfamiliar with the peculiar grip of those who are manipulat- ing them comes anywhere in what threat- ens to become intimate proximity. These jiates will not be exposed to public view, even of a surreptiticus character, until the local convention meets March 12, and then they will be brought cut, and there is no telling what a smashing time there may be. New elements are creeping into ‘the dem- ocratic campaign, however, besides the per soral popularity of this or that candidat and those behind him. Just now the ques tion of the held-up liquor licenses fig Ing in it. It was-hinted last week that cer- tain influences were at work to secure the granting of many of th applications with a view of sccuring the support of those who were made fortunate for cei candidates in the various assembly triets for the corveniion of March 12. Silver Receives a Set Back. A movement was commenced a shert time ago to secure the election of free silver delegates to Chicago from the Dis- trict, and was gaining considerable strength, but the conservative leaders of the party here, who ure doing all in their power to secure peaceful primaries and a enial convention, agitation. They argument t the democratic national conventicn had weys placed in the platforms adc ognizing the ju: and laid expec a money meta! siress upon the fact that it was the non. observance of this principle by these lected to uphold it thet had been respons ble for the ignoring of silser. ‘They al nied out that every rea! democrat would favor a silver plank at Chicago, and by; this means called a halt in the effort to send a pronounced silver delegation to the July convention. The fact that Mr. Henry E. Davis has announced to his friends that he ble to Mr. John Boyle's cand will do all in his power to help to Chicago has, it is said, James L. Norris, and it is declared th the member of the democratic nationai committee from the Disirict is consi the matter and giving it much reflection. The result may be that a strong effort will be made to send Mr. J. Fred. Kelley along too. is favora- ‘y and nd him reached Mr. Liquor Men and the Excixe Board. It was rumored in well-informed circles this rornlag that it was the intention in certain quarters where substantial influ- ences exist to use the liquor licenses which are row keld up by the excise board a: powerful levers in the ccming primari The gcasip hed it that these strong influ- ences would be brought to bear upon the excise berrd to grant mszny of the applica- tions now under consideration, and the: enlist the fortunate saioon keepers securin: the favors in behalf of certain combina- tions of assembly disirict delegates. It was also cald that this rumor was to be called to the atiention of District Commissioner Ross toda: d that he was to be request- ed to prevent the suggested action if it was found to be true that it was to be taken for ary pclitical purposes whatever. Con- sultations are being held every day by the vavious leaders of the scycral wings of the local demecracy, and tcmorrow It is confi dently expected that the slate to be pre- sentod and vigorously supported in the con- vention, Iced by the names of Boyle, Hol- mead and Jordan, will be finally completed and the word sent out alcng the line. Who Will Be Committceman. The question of who will represent the District of Columbia on the next national democratic committee has been injected in- to the campaign, and, w it Is not now being very generally discussed in an open way, It is liable to cut a considerable figure before the delegates to Chicago are selected. M1. Norris now occupies that position in the present national committee, which expires when the national convention adjourns. It will be remembered that the contes' tween Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis at Ch: in 1892, and renewed in New York at the crganization of the committee, was com- menced over the question as to which one of them should represent the District in that kody, and resulted in the selection of Mr. Norris as the member. In _ the acrimonious- discussion that followed it was developed that Mr. Norris had written a letter to Mr. Davis, in which he agreed that if Mr. Davis would nominate him in the convention for national committeeman Mr. Norris would resign in thirty days in favor of Mr. Davis. When the committee met for organization in New York, and the agreement of Mr. Norris be- came known, the other and older members of the committee informed Mr. Norris that, while he had a perfect right to resign, he could not designate his successor, and that the question of such successor would be left to the decision of the central committee of the District of Columbia. There were two bodies here claiming to be central commit- tees at this time, and, fearing there would be a further wrangle over the affair, Mr. Norris decided that he would continue as a member of the committee. The feeling en- gendered over this episode has diminished but little, and was given additional emphasis when Mr. Wm. H. Manogue, who was the candidate of Mr. Davis, was appointed col- lector of customs at Georgetown, over Mr. Wm. Hutchins, whom Mr. Norris ardently supported for the same place. There is an impression abroad that Mr. Norris desires to continue as a member of the next demo- cratic national committee, and in order to do this he must be nominated by the dele- gation from the District at the Chicago con- vention, Methods of Selection. The methods pursued in the selection of the rational committees of both parties in their national ccnventions are similar. When a state or territory is called in the rational convention the chairman of the delegation arises and presents the name of the person decided upon to represent that state or territory as a vice president of the convention, national committeeman and member of the committee on notification. Wren there are only two delegates there is scmetimes a considerable difference over which one will get the honors. The point can be aptly illustrated. Several yeers ago, FIXING THE SLATES/GALVE THEIR IDOL, Local Democrats Working on Their Opera Lovers Hail Her as the Queen of Song. - Her Success as “Carmen” Eclipsed by the New “Navarraise,” How the Great Singer Practicesand Works— Her Diet Simple. The idcl of opera lovers this year is Emma Calve. “No singer ever possessed the fire of dramatic art to the extent which she possesses it, and none has ever taken a greater hold upon the hearts of the Agnerican public. Wherever Calve has appeared her audiences have gone wild with de- light over her performance. As Car- men she has immortalized herself. She will be seen this season in other roles, for her genius by no means limits her in this respect, and her ad- mirers will be treated this season to what critics declare is’ her greatest creation, the leading role in “The Navarraise.” 5 There is something so magnetic about Calve that one cannot help but admire her from the moment she comes upon the stage. She is a born actress. Mile. Calve is French by birth, her mother being a Parisian, although her father, a civil engineer, was of Spanish ancestry. She has five isters, all of whom are said to be beautiful. She had no idea of follow- ing music until the death of her father, which occurred when she was’ about 16. Her girlhood had been spent in a convent. She made her debut as a singer at the Theater de la Monnaie in Brus- sels, in 1882, where she essayed the part of Marguerite in “Faust” and achieved a marked success. On the days Calve sings she break- fasts at 10 am. Underdone broiled meat and a little wine goes with the repast. At 3 p.m. she dines, again on underdone meat roasted, and usu- ally a glass of champagne. Wine she considers good for the voice in mod- erate quantity. Nothing must touch her lips from the 3 o'clock dinner be- fore she sings, except a little beaten egg and some of JOHANN HOFF’S GENUINE MALT EX- TRACT, taken just before going on. She may also take a few sips of the extract in the entr'acte, but no solid iood until her return from the opera. Of the famous extract which sus- tains her during her trying work be- fore the fooilights she writes as fol- 1 The JOHANN HOFF'S \E MALT EXTRACT has done wonders for me.

The Pall Mall Gazette says ‘Mr. Ather- ley-Jones’ amendment (deploring the ab- sence of @ pronouncement in the queen's speech in favor of arbitrating the Venez- uelan dispute) could not do good and might do a great deal of harm. Mr. Atherle: Jones is old enough to know that the inter- ference of the house of commons in mat+ ters under diplomatic treatment must be in« tolerable. The amendment, implying cen- sure of the government, would infaliibly have been negatived by a large majorit and would thus have defeated its own ends and have conveyed to the United States an entirely fallacious impression of hostility, This, op the morning of the very promising suggesffon of Mr. Smalley, might have been a very serious calamity. Fortunately, no harm has been done. The house saw it had been on the vesge of an indiscretion, and wisely began to talk of something else. The Westminster Gazette says that it en- tirely sympathizes with the object of Mr. Atherley-Jones’ amendment, adding, how- ever: “But it was clearly desirable, after Mr. Balfour's appeal and William Har- court’s speech, that it should not be perse- vered “in, for its certain rejection would have been interpreted in America as demon- strating that the house of commons did not favor arbitration. This would have been a thousand pit with the delicate negotiations proceeding and with every hope that a modus vivendi will be found.” The St. James Gazette agrees that Mr. Balfour's intervention in the debate yester- day, in order to end it, was justifiable, and says: “But Sir William Harcourt’s utter- ances on arbitration go a great deal furtaer than is justified by the feeling he; The Chronicle and Sir William Harcourt most mischievously declare that the country is unanimous fer arbitration, without specify. ing what arbitration.
