W. NITCHIE, The House District committee gave a «| heering today on the Sunday rest bill. This bill, Introduced by Mr. Morse of Massachu- setts, provides as follows: ‘That on the first day of the week, known as the Lord’s day, set apart by general con- sent in accordance with divine appointment as a day of rest and worship, it shall be unlawful to perform any labor, except works of necessity and mercy and work by those who religiously observe Saturday, if performed in such a way as not to involve or disturb others; also to open places of business or traffic, except in the case of drug siores for the dispensing of medicines; also to make contracts or transact other commercial business; also to engage in noisy amusements or amusements for gain, or entertainments for which admittance fees are charged; also to perform any court service, except in connection’ with arrests of criminals and service of process to pre- vent fraud. Sec. 2. That the penalty for violating any provision of this act shall be a fine of not less than $10 for the first offense; for sec- ond or subsequent offenses, a fine not ex- ceeding $50 and imprisoument for not less than ten nor more than thirty days, and one year’s forfeiture of license, if any is held by the offender or his employer. That this act shall take effect upon passage. Some Objections Stated. Mr. Allen Moon,of Washington objected to the bill as being distinctly religi i character and violative of the provision of the Constitution, in that it creates a re- hment.

B. Woodbury, secretary of the National Spiritualists’ Association, opposed the bill. His associates are pledged to a secular form of government and against all Sunday laws.

They had too much to do trying around through the various scet of the Distriet and consulting with faithful who are suppos in the'r respect all-a March 10, and the conv. follow two days later. There were secret meetings here and deep consultatior there all over the city, and the men who were engaged in them went to bed last night with a feeling of greater uncertainty campaign than they had hitherto experienced. To the perplexity of these gentlemen was no ceeper, for the rumor was again in cireula tion this morning that the A. P. A. was eadily at work organizing tickets in the us legislative districts that would vom- mand good support, and prove factors of considerable importance in fixing the com- plexion of the convention. The @'ssatisfaction which was shown over the make-up of the “straight-out” ticket in a few places a week or so ago has been persistently fomented by those. who oppos that combination, and has grown in conse- quence. It is not believed, however, by the stra:ght-outs” and their friends that this feeling will lesd to any substantial de- fection. It is evident, though, that if the ticket which the tlemen are now ar- dently supporting discovered to contain any clements of weakness after the pri- maries are ccncluded on the night of March 10, that a new slate will be fixed up for the consideration of the convention Which will meet at the Academy of Music two days later. The Case of Ex-Congressm: The crycsition which has been shown to the active participation of Congress- man Turner of New York in the direction of local derhocratic affairs has In no wise abated, but it is prebable that he will not be such a factor as was at lirst supposed. At the last meeting of the democratic cen- tral committee Mr,, Edward Cleary was admitted as proxy £) D. Cleary, who is how dent of New York. Mr. Cleary Annouficed that he ex. pected to x0 to Caljfornia,in a day or two and thereupon sojje of Mr. Turner's friends, it is sald, got My. Cleary to give the ex-Congressman, his proxy, thus _mak- ing the latter a proxy fay a proxy. There is no doubt that the tral committee would admit Mr. ‘Turney,on such creden- tials, but it was saiq'today that Mr. Cleary Was still in the city'and would be present in person at the meeting tomorrow night. This mecting will be held at Costello's Hall, and it is expected that the members of the committee who desire to appoint judges of elections in their rdspective districts will make known their wishes in that respect, while those who prefer to have the judges selected at the primary meetings preceding the casting of votes on élection evening as in former years will algo make this fact known. A number of committeemen will report upon the polling places selected in their districts and cértain financial mat- ters will come up for consideration. Not Afraid of Two Conventions. The leaders of the “strajght-out” move- ment do not appear to place much cre- dence in the declaration frequently heard that there will be two conventions. They say that while a call might be issued for a second convention it would have no more binding effect than if some individual or individuals kere should issue a call for a national convention regardless of that pub- lished by the democratic national commit- tee. They declare that the central com- mittee of the District committee 1s recog- rized as the custodian of the affairs of the demecratic party at the national capi- tal and that its actions will be upheld by the big convention at Chicago. the ed to have a pull} e ne ghborhoods upon the | orbing question of the primaries of | ntion which Is to ay Turner. ‘or hjs' brother, Mr. W. re FIGHTING STRENGTH The Fleets of the United States and Spain Compared.

Commodore Hichbern said that in tion to the above list the United S: navy could be increased in a few months by two adcitional fighting ships, the batile ship Iowa of 11,410 tons displacement and the Brooklyn, an armored cruiser of the New York type, but larger and more pow- erful than that splendid vessel, of 9,271 tons. There is also the Chicago, whica is now undergoing repairs, and nine other veasels, mostly of the gunboat class, which could be used at that time. Our smail fleet of torpedo bozts on October Ist next would be supplemented by seven others now puild- ing. According to Commodore Hichborn, we would be more embarrassed in the eve:tt of war by the want of guns than by the lack of ships. He said we haven't got guns enough for the ships we already have, and there are no means of arming the mer- chant vessels that could be utilized as an auxiliary navy. speed.
