Eight trade union organizations and thir- ty assemblies of the Knights of Lapor were represented at last evening’s meeting of the Federation of Labor. The greater part of the session was de- voted to the consideration of the practica- bility and wisdom of reducing the “unfair list” by lifting the boycott from :nany firms ard individuals. The matter was brought to the attention of the body by some rot dissatisfied with the action of the Federation in removing the boycott from the Washington Brewing Company. Delegate Brown of the marine engineers claimed that as no satisfactory reasons had been given to the delegates for the action taken in that matter, he offered a series of resolutions which were tabled by a decided vote. These resolutions recited that the action taken by the Federation in boycotting the local brewerles was Ill- advised, and proposed that all the Wash- ington breweries be taken from the un- fair list. Delegate De Nedrey asked that the boy- cott declared against mercantile firms be declared off. This was very vigorously cp- posed by several delegates. The matter was finally disposed of by the adoption of a substitute, submitting the question to the locals, the Federation recommending that the unfair list be reduced to two for each organization. The question of removing the boycott from the brewers was again brought up, and was referred to a special committee, which, it was stated, would meet the brew- ers and their representatives today and set- tle the matter. The Amalgamated Carpente ters’ Association, Stereotypers’ Union and Steam Vitters' Helpers’ Association an- nounced that, having formed the American Federation of Labor, they would no longer be represented in the iocal Federation. Chairman Blake of the legislative commit- tee reported having received a letter from the District Commissioners in reply to one sent by them, in wnich the Commissioners said they would be willing to hear the com- mittee upon matters of general Jegislation on a date to be her2after named. The probably fatal accident yesterday at the new post office was referred to, and it was decided to call the attention of Sec- retary Carlisle to the condition of affairs there, and a letter will also be sent to the pe uens of the United States on the sub- jec Delegates from the Enzaustic Tile Layers and Gambrinus Assembly were admitted. Sees FISH MARKET, Steam Fit- THE Busy Scenes v Wharr. Shad and herring are more plentiful this week, and consequently they are much cheaper than they have been during the earlier part of the season. The largest catch thus far this season was landed at the fish wharf yesterday on the sloop Mary of Onanceck, Va. There were more than 50,000 herring and about 2,000 shud They came from the trap nets of D. M. Faunce, off Ragged Point, not far from Piney Point. Large roe shad brought from $15 to 8a hundred, while smaller varieties brought much smaller prices. Herring sold at from 7 to 80 cents a hundred. Rock fish, white and yellow perch and catfish were also plentiful and low prices prevailed. The sea- son for shad and herring will last about five weeks, and during this time there will be busy scenes on the wharves and in the houses. At present a great many shad and herring are packed and shipped to northern markets, and this has the effect of keeping the prices a little higher. By rext week, however, the supply in all Probability will be largely in excess of the demand, and both shad and herring will be very cheap. Then those who pack fish av-ay for the win- ter trade will begin operations, and the men and women, cutters, offbearers and wash- ers, will find employment. Those who are experts at the business earn from $30 to $60 @ week, and some few earn even more than this. There are some fast workers who will not work for the packers, but who prefer the work they pick up from the country wagons, for from them they earn large wages, and do not have to work 80 con- stantly. Catfish skinning has also become @ good-paying business, and the small fish of this variety, which were thrown away several years ago, now find ready sale. A man named James Barry, who works about the wharf, it is claimed, is the fastest man in the country at skinning these fish. For this work 1 cent a pound is paid. About the fish wharf now there are as many as two hundred wagons at a time, mostly hickster wagons, as at this season many hucksters give up the fruit and vege- table trale to get the berefit of the large profits in the fish business. Thousands of small fish are thrown away every day, and these, to some extent, are gathered by men, women and children. In this way many poor people get their focd, and many smail boys embark in the fish business and get a iow cents for large bupches of the smali ish. Most of the large seines, it 1s expected, will be in operation not leter than the last of this week, and then will come the shad and herring in quantities, which will lower the prices. Down at the —_->_—_ NOT A RAID. ed Excitement, However, in the Division. There was a scare in the “Division” last night about midnight, when Sergt. Acton and Policemen Warren and Purks called at the house of Jernie Javins, No. 1225 C street, to investigate a complaint of alleged robbery in the house. “The house is raided,’* sald one of the frightened women, and this statement was repeated from house to house and the great- est excitement prevailed. There was a scampering of men from sev- eral of the houses, who feared they might get caught in the police “drag net,” and soon all evidence of violation of law was dispelled. In some of the houses the men and wo- men had been having a gay time, celebrat- ing the verdict of acquittal in the Grace Ferguson case, and this accounted for the presence of a number of young men, who do nothing other than live*on the proceeds of the women’s ill-gotten gains. There was really no occasion for alarm, for the police had only gone to the house to arrest a young woman named or known as “Mamie Casey.” She-.is only about twenty- three years old, but Henry Balderson claim- ed that she had robbed him of $9.50.Balder- son is a sailor, so he says, and lives at No. 837 M street southwest. Last evening he called at the house men- tioned, and Minnie Casey, he says, invited him to her room. As he had not gone there as a reformer, he accepted her invitation, and when he put his clothes on a chair the .woman, he says, grabbed his trousers and took the mcney. Then she crdered him out of the house, and he had to go. ‘When the officers reached the house they found Mamie there and placed her under arrest. She denied the charge, but as the man had made the complaint, she was lock- ed up and the man was summoned to ap- pear in court as a witness. This morning he appeared and related his story to the court, and the girl not only de- nied the charge, but she also denied that Balderson had even been in the house. “I've been in there fifty times,” interrupt- ed the man, “and I knew her when she lived on 18th street.” Policeman Warren said that Balderson told him the girl's name and the room she occupied before he went to the house. The girl repeated her derial, and Judge Miller told her that she might go farther than the District jail. A sentence of ninety days in jail was im- Posed. THE PACIFIC RAILROADS The Joint Committee Awaiting Data From the Treasury Department. Provisions Which Will Re Incorporat- ed im the Bill to Be Finally Drawn Up. The Pacific railroad committees of the two houses have suspended their work in order to procure certain data from the Secretary of the Treasury to enable them to proceed intelligently in the preparation of the bill which they propose bringing in. So far the proceedings of the com- mittees have been based upon a bill con- taining the following provisions: The Union Pacific and Central Pacific systems are to be recognized separately, but subjected to generally similar re- quirements. The Secretary of the Treasury is to ascertain the amounts of the gov- ernment lien, principal and interest, in each case up to January 1, 1897, deducting pay- ments already made; the sinking fund of each of the roads is to be credited on the debts to the government; the entire prop- erty of the two lines is to be mortgaged to the government subject to the first mort- gage, covering the entire government debt, including principal and interest, and bonds fesued to the government bearing 2 per cent interest, payable semi-annually; there is to be in each case an anaual payment of principal, amounting for the first ten years to $300,000, the next ten to $500,000 and thereafter to $750,000, until the entire indebtedness is wiped out, but this rro- vision Is likely to be changed so as to in- crease the annual payments and to lessen the time; the companies are authorized to refund their other debts and to issue a first mortgage to secure them, with 4 per cent bonds to run for fifty years, this mortgage, and this only, to take precedence over the government lien; the companies are to be allowed to issue preferred stock and to pay not to exceed 4 per cent divi- dends on it, and this only when earned and after full payments of principal and interest due on bonds; foreclosure under pending proceedings and the formation of new ccempanies are authorized, with the sume privileges, immunities and obligacions as the existing companies; in the case of the.Central Pacific the mortgage is to in- clude the lease to the Southern Pacific, the Southern Pacific is to guarantee prin_ cipal and interest, and the debt of over $2,000,000 due the Southern Pacific by the government for services is to be used for the cancellation of Central Pacific bonds; the President is authorized, through the Secretary of the Treasury, to at any time clear off the paramount lien for the protection of the government, or when interest or principal payments are in de- fault for six months the government may take possession of the roads without the per- mission of either Congress or the courts; the office of government director of the roads is abolished; there is to be no further re- quirement of money for the sinking fund and no more money is to be withheld wwnen due to the roads for services rendered to the government; all laws forbidding the mortgaging of the roads or their extension or consolidation with other lines are to be repealed. GEN. THOS. L. CASEY. Gen. Craighill's Order Announcing the Death of That Officer. Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, has issued a general order to the corps of en- gineers announcing, with profound sorrow, the death of Brigadier General Thomas L. Casey, retired. The order contains a full sketch of the life of the deceased, compiled from official records, and closes as follows: “No higher eulogy for this distinguished officer, of whom the corps of engineers 1s proud, can be given than is found in the follow:ng words, taken from the order of the Secretary of War issued on the day of Gen. Casey’s death: “* “His absolute honesty, thorough devotion to public duty and rugged force of char- acter won for General Cascy the supreme confidence of the country, and contributed in a marked degree to the high reputation of the corps of which he was jon, dis = guished member.’ ima “As a tribute to his memory, the officers of the corps of engineers will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.” ———__-e.____ THE PERMANENT CAPITAL. A Californian on Washington. Col. Harrison Gray Otis, who formerly occupied a prominent and responsible posi- tion in the public printing office here, but for a score of years past one of the Propri- etors and conductor of the Los Angeles Times, was recently on a visit to the At- lantic coast. On his return home he was in- terviewed by a reporter of the Capltal, the Los Angeles Sunday paper, when he ex- Pressed himself as stated below: “You visited Washington, of course?” asked the reporter. “Yes, after an absence of sixteen years, and it has been twenty years since I re- moved from there, permanently, with my family, to live in California.” “You found many changes in the capital city within that time?” “Yes, very many and very great. Splen- 6id improvements in every direction, both in public and private building and in streets and avenues. The borders of the city have been greatly enlarged, and wide tracts, which were then vacant grounds in the sub-— urbs, are now compactly built up and form part of the city. The improvements in the northwestern and northeastern sections of the city particularly struck me, especially in the region of Rock creek and the high- lands of Woodley, where the President has his suinmer home. Mr. Cleveland made a good thing oat of his venture in that di- rection, and Is understood to have cleared up $100,000 0a one real estate transaction.” ‘How did you find the weather?” “In going over we ran into a big snow storm in Chicago, followed by severe weath- er, but by the time we reached the borders of West Virginia the weather had mode: ated, and we entered Washington with no snow in sight, and the temperature very mild and even genial at midday. I am something of a champion of Washington climate, as I know it very well, having lived there for several years. For an all-round eastern climate it is a very good one; but, of course, nothing to compare with Cali- fornia.” = “Do you think the capital will ever be re- moved?” “Never. It is located in a good spot, tak- ing everything into account, and I believe it is located for all time. It is not central, to be sure, but that cuts a small figure in these days of quick transit by rail and quick communication by telegraph. The interests of the government ard of the people cen- tered in Washington are too vast to be dis- turbed for any cause save the most im- perative. My recent visit impressed me more than ever with the conviction that Washington city is a fit spot for the capital of a great nation. At a time as late even as since the war Washington was little more than a straggling southern village, un- worthy to be the capital of the American republic, but that time ts past. Now it is a modern city, with noble buildings, miles of magnificent streets, broad avenues and all the features of modern life. It has be- come not only a political center, but to a large degree a center of literature, art, science and social culture.” ———_+e+_____ An Old Robbery. Andrew Sherwood, who was arrested in Baltimore several days ago because of a Tequest sent there from this city, declined to return without availing himself of all the privileges the law accorded him, and his case was set for a hearing before a United States commissioner today. The prisoner, who was well known here, left this city more than two years ago, und scon after his departure the police were looking for him. They suspected that he robbed the house of Henry J. Canfield, corner of 7th and H streets southwest. This house was entered in November, 1893, und the robbery was committed by a second- story worker. A quantity of jewelry, worth, perhaps, $150, and $45 in cash disappear- ed from the house with the burglar. Lemuel Miller is the principal witness in the case. He is a fish dealer at present, but two years ago, about the time the robbery was committed, he was on friendly terms with Sherwood. He says that Sher- wood told him of his intentions to rob the house, and afterward showed him some of the jewelry. If Miller's evidence is ac- cepted today Sherwood wil probably be brought here tomorrow for trial. ms) DIVERSE VIEWS AT ST. LOUIS. What Leading Rep ficans Say of the Outlook for the Candidates. James 8S. Clarkson of Iowa, who has been. at St. Louis Icoking after convention mat- ters, said in an interview: “The situation in a nutshell is thi No- body will enter the convention with votes enough by about 100 or 150 to nominate him on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth or tenth bal- lot. The nominee, therefore, will be a sec- ond choice man. “McKinley leads today in the matter of instructions and will hold this lead. Allison is the strongest choice and will gain in strength right along. I, therefore predict Aliison’s nomination.” Referring again to McKinley, Mr. Clark- fon said: “His campaign has been s0 cun- ducted as to alienate all tht second choice states and for tha: reason he is today the weakest man in the race, conceding that he cannot be nominated on the first ballot. I don’t know a single delegation tha: will go to him when its candidate is dropped. On the other Rand, Senator Allison is the ond choice of nearly every state or district that has elected its delegates. Mr. Reed will have as much strength in the south as McKinley. “TI have just returned from a trip through the west,” continued Mr. Clarkson. “In all the region west of Nebraska the sentiment is yet unformed as to men. The people of the Pacific coast and mountain states are discussing a great issue—that of money and not men. They will send to St. Louis in June eighty or a hundred delegates in- structed solidly for silver, without reference to the views of any man on this great ques- tion, That a vote s0 massed will have to be reckoned with, and that seriously, nobody with pretensions to political foresight or acumen can doubt. “It may be that Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah will send delegates to the conven- tion instructed for some pronounced free silver advocate, such as Teller or Cameron. In fact, I have been assured that that ts what these states will d: Joseph H. Manley was more reticent,when hie attention was called to the latest esti- mate of McKinley’s strength, made at Washington by Gen. Grosvenor. He studied — closely for a long while and then said: “This only shows that they are still claim- ing. They can claim all they want. Wh. we want and what we are going to have, are votes.”” Senator Thomas Carter, chairman of the republican national committee, was asked: “Is it true that you have discerned the premonitory rumbling of a boom for Don Cameron in the northwest “It's more than a premonitory rumble. It’s roaring. I believe he will get the vote: not only of Montana and other northwe: ern states, bur that the votes of the west generally will come to him naturally. “Then you apprehend some trouble over the question in the St. Louis con- vention “Now, that is an entirely different matter and on which I will say nothing. Col. William H. Hahn of Ohio professed to be-unable to see how the opposition is to head off McKinley. ——_+e-+____ Delegates to * Louis. In the twenty-second Pennsylvania con- sressional district yesterday C. L. Magea and Wm. Flinn (both for McKinley) were elected delegates to the St. Louis tion. In the twenty-third W. A. Sto Robt. McAfee (Quay) were elected. ¢ ventions were held in all the legislative dis- tricts of Allegheny county, and in n every convention resolutions were | duced denouncing Senator J. Donald Cam- eron for his free silver proclivit pledging the delegates to the state o tion to vote and work against his nomina- tion as a delegate-at-large to the na‘ional convention. With the reports in from the cour ventions all over Virginia, the men claim nearly everything. Fy the number of instructed de state convention at Staunton, it is that McKinley will have the lion's shave of the delegates to St. Louis. The Reed men are doing no talking, but they @ considerable degree the claims of Mc- Kinley’s managers, and leave no doubt that the Reed side of the contest is not surrendered. The republican congressional convention at Zanesville, Ohio, yesterday, renominated Congressman H. C. Van Voorhis. The delegates to the convention at St. Louis are James R. Barr and David Miller. These gentlemen are for McKinley, and resolu- tions indorsing him for President were passed amid the greatest enthusiasm. The Webster faction of the republican party for the first congressional district met at Charleston. 8, C., yesterday, and elected delegates to the national republican convention. The delegates go uninstructed. The second district republican cony mn of New Hampshire yesterday met after the state convention and elected Col. John A. Spalding and Gen. John H. Brown delegates to the St. Louis convention. Senator Cullom’s congressional district, the seventeenth, Illinois, yesterday in- dorsed McKinley for President. J. A. Con- nolly was renominated for Congress. The nineteenth district republican con- ntion was held at Madison, Ill, yester- day. The delegates are Cullom men. Rey resentative.
