SPEAKER WALSER COMES 70 MEDIATE He Has a Conference With Both - the Statesmen. FUSION IS NECESSARY A flag of truce has been raised under which Senators Butler and Pritchard of North Carolina may agree upon terms of Peace. When it became known to North Carolina Populists and republicans that Senator But- ler had declared war on Senator Pritchard through a circular letter he proposed to send out to his constituents, practically ap- pealing to them not to support the repub- lican Senator of that state for re-election rext fall, consternation was created in the ranks of both of these parties: Many prominent leaders believed that such a course would result in the downfall of the two parties In the state an@ the a3éendency of the democrats, who have only been beaten by the fusion between the two parties opposing them. eae At first it was supposed that Mr. Butler was confident that he could carry the state Without republican support, and not only elect a governor, but dictate the senator- ship. But when this course was fully made known through the columns of The Even- ing Star Senator Pritchard showed himself to be ready for the pending battle with as much confidence of victory as was possess- ed by the populist Senator, while the demo- crats throughout the state were jubilant over the prospect of a three-cornered fight, which they believed would allow them to control the state. A Mediator Arrives. In this dilemma Zeb Vence Walser, speak- er of the house of representatives of North Carolira, was chos2n by his political friends to come to Washington on a mission of peace. Mr. Walser arrived here yesterday, and found a deplorable state of affairs. He found that Mr. Butler had his cfrcular letter manifolded and in envelopes ready to send out. He realized that, if that circular should be formally distributed by the popu- list Senator, it would be almost impossible to effect a reconciliation between the popu- lists and the republicans. What made the circular of the greatest importance was the fact that Mr. Butler was chairman of the North Carolina state populist committee and that it appeared to be an official deliverance of the sentiment of the committee, although it was well known that it was only a per- sonal letter written by Mr. Butler. Mr. Walser is-a republican. Still, he has been on intimate relations with Senator Butler, and could readily approach him in such a crisis. He called at the Capitol and sent his card to Senator Butler, who re- ceived him in the Marble room, and for two hours a most interesting conference was held. The importance of the situation was shown to Mr. Butler, and last night the North Carolina Senator consented to with- hold his circular until after a conference 1s held between the North Carolina state pop- ulist committee and the conference commit- tee of the republican state committee. This meeting will take place on the 15th instant, and the feeling among the populists and republicans is that concilatory measures will probably be adopted. Mr. Walser also had a two hours’ confer- ence with Senator Pritchard, but he did not find Mr. Pritchard in a humor to forgive and forget the assault made upon him by Sen- ator Butler without carefully weighing the matter and until he should receive assur- ances that he would have the support of the populists during the coming campaign. The Necessity for Fusion. Mr. Walser has strongly urged upon the North Carolina Senators the necessity for fusicn in their state during the coming campaign, and he is still here, hoping that before he goes home he will be able to bring both of the Senators to a similar view on tke situation. The embarrassing feature of this political tempest is that Senator Butler’s proposed action had been communicated to a number of his political friends in confidence, and some of these gentlemen, taking his suggestion as a cue, have begun to open fire on Senator Pritch- ard by the publication of statements re- garding the situation. Mr. Butler, as chairman of the populist state committee of North Carolina, will at- tend the conference to be held on the 15th instant, 2nd until after that meeting he will do nothing to fan the flame of dia- cord between populists and republicans. The peacemakers think that Senator But- ler has acted prematurciy, and that if the populists and republicans are to antag- onize each other such a course should not have been adopted by Senator Butler until after the conference to take place next week has been held. These peacemakers think that Mr. Butler can be persuaded to compromise on an agreement which will give to his party the governorship, in re- turn for which Mr. Pritchard will be sup- ported for re-election. If !t should be Possibie to bring about such an agreement the fusion which existed in North Carolina in 1894 will be re-established, and the fight next fali will be made on the same lines that existed during the last campaign. Senators Butler and Pritchard sre not now on speaking acquaintance, but Mr. Walser hopes that before he goes home to bring them together in a friendly con- ference, and if he can do this he thinks that an important crisis for both the popu- Ests and republicans will be overcome. Collecting Bilis. Joseph H. Lloyd, who keeps a grocery store in South Washington, has a new way of collecting his bills. His way is effective, but this time he got in trouble. Edward Ccoper, a colored boy, who had been cred- ited for pies, cakes and cigarettes, went in the store recently and made a small pur- chase. The proprietor asked for his money, but Cooper said: “You'll have to wait, "cause I ain’t got it. “I must have it,” said the grocer, who pulled a gun from behind the counter and frightened the colored boy almost into a fit. “Here's the money,” said Cooper, and the exciting episode was ended. “You must know,” said Judge Miller to ee grocer, “that this is no way to collect bills. He was required to give bond in the sum of $100 to keep the peace. —_.—___ bg Received the Maximum.

FIFTH BATTALION Company D Won the Prize Drill Last Right Lively Competition and Excellent Work Shown—Individual Con- testa—The New Band. That the fifth battalion, District of Co- Iumbia National Guard, does not lack friends was most thoroughly attested last ‘evening, when Convention Hall was crowd- ed to the docrs with interested spectators to witness the annual company competi- tive drill of the organization. The occa- sion was a gala one, and during the even- ing it was demonstrated that the fifth is as large in membership as any battalion in the guard; that it has advanced farther in a certain line of dritl than any other com- mand, and that its four companies have made creditable progress in company drill in an exceedingly short space of time, and while handicapped by lack of drill facili- ties. The annual competition was instituted last year, when company D won the prize cup. Great rivalry exists between the four companies, and as each has hundreds of friends, the contest last evening was of decided interest. In tue audience were of- ficers of the army and the National Guard, as well as several well-known officials. The Contests. ‘The recently organized Second Regiment Band, in the regulation band uniform, en- tered the hall shortly after 8 ‘o'clock, took station at the north end of the hall,and Milled in the time with popular selections uniil the appearance of company A, under Capt. Guy E. Jenkins. Capt. Jenkins reported to the judges, Capt. William E. Horton, Capt. J. M. Williams and Capt. Edgar A. Shil- ling, and a moment later the strife had be- gun. The company was put through a rigid inspection, and then drilled in the manual of arms, loadings and firings, and foot movements, incluaing the- evolutions of the platoon. As company A marched off the floor the band played the “Encamp- ment March,” and there was loud cheer- ing and waving of handkerchiefs and col- ors. Company B, Capt. George Phebus; company D, Capt. George W. England, and company C, Capt. Clarence V. Sayre, drilled in the order named, and but very slight difference in their work could be perceived by the ordinary spectator. All were loudly applauded, the noise becom- ing so great at times as to interfere with the drill. Company C, the baby company of the battalion, mustered in February 24 Jast, showed up in excellent shape, and its maneuvers were thoroughly appreciated by those present. Between the drill and dur- ing the inspections the band, of which John Shepherd is leader and John Vogel drum major, rendered a number of selections, including a cornet solo, by Mr. Mohler, and a euphonium solo, by Mr. Henney. - An individual competitive drill for a gold medal, donated by Lieut. James L. Mock, adjutant of the battalion, then took place, with Major Suess in command. Out of a hun dred or more contestants Sergt. Harvey Bryan proved the winner,and he was carried about the hall on the shoulders of his com- rades. The Winners. A battalion drill, to bugle commands, proved of decided interest, especially to the guardsmen present, after which a dress parade was held. The board of judges then returned to the hall and handed a folded paper to Major Suess, who introduced Major E. R. Campbell of the fourth battalion to officiate in the presentation of trophies, in the absence of Col. Ceéil Clay of the second regiment. Company D, the holder of the cup, was again declared the winner, and Capt. England, with his first sergeant, marched to the front, received the hand- some trophy and listened to some compli- mentary remarks from Major Campbell. Sergt. Bryan was then presented with the Mock medal, and the enjoyable affair was at an end, the audience dispersing a few moments before midnight with the cheers of the winning company ringing out, -_—— Reeves, Poole & Co., 1209 F St. N.W., are making a new taffy called Caladonia; the flavor is delicious. 25c. per pound; 15c. half pound.—Advt. = oh Sane ae Doors,1% thick, all sixes, 90c. aptece. = New York city, | All white pine.

Important Incrense of the Work of Preparation—Pians fer Enter- taining the Coming Delegates. The regular monthly meeting of the Di: trict of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union executive committee was held last evening in the Calvary Baptist Church. Reports of the committees of the union were received, and through the’ committee of ‘06 the outline of the program to be followed at next July’s great gathering, publication of which was made in last evening's Star, was read. Miss Ruth Marie Sites, a returned missionary to China, and Rev. Minot Shaw Hartwell, an active Bos- ton Christian Endeavorer, made addresses. The Treasurer's Report. Devotional exercises opened the meet- ing, President Miles M. Shand in the chair, and Mr. Hermen C. Metcalf at the secre- tary’s desk. The treasurer’s report show- ed a balance in the treasury of &35. and the other committees reported continued progress in their lines of activity. Espe- cial attention was directed to the series of articles descriptive of places of interest in and about the city, which are being pub- lished in the official organ of the union for the press committee. Two such chapters, one on Mount Vernon and the other deal- ing with Arlington, have already appeared, with illustrations, and the ort of the press committee stated that portions of the matter had been reprinted in various Chris- pan Endeavor papers throughout the coun- Ty. Increase of the Work. The work accomplished by the commit- tees in charge of the various branches of the preparations for the coming conven- tion were summed up in a comprehensive report of the committee of '96, the features of which have been made public through The Star from time to time as action was taken. The work of the committee, says the repert, has assumed such proporti that it Eas been deemed necessary to in- crease the time devoted to it in order to keep It thoroughly in hand, ‘and as a conse- quence the headquarters office hours will hereafter be from 4 to 6 and from to 9:30 every week day. Miss Sites and Rev. Mr. Hartwell spoke Interestingly to the Endeavorers, Miss Sites upon her missionary labors in Chin: and Mr. Hartwell upon phases of conven- ticn work. See, Extension for the Metropolitan. Mr. Curtis of Iowa, a member of the Dis- trict committee, has introduced a bill in the House providing that the charter of the Metropclitan Railroad Company is amended so as to authorize said company to connect with its present tracks and ex- tend its rcute by double tracks from Con- necticut and Flor‘da aventies in a north- erly direction along Columbia road until it intersects 18th street: Provided, that the said railroad be completed within six months after the passage of this act. All parts of said routes north of Florida ave- nue shall be underground. electric and in the center of the street.;; « That no more than one fare shall be charged by said company for one continu- ous ride over any part ofthe said routes avd the present lines of ‘said railroad. That so much of the aet approved August 2, 1894, repealing the charter of said rall- road on default made +by. said company in completing its underground electric roads on its horth and south and on Its east and west lines by the dates therein mentioned, are hereby repealed. S That the time to complete its undecr- ground electric railrgad on its east and west line is hereby extended for an ad- ditional period of ninety days.

UNION IS PROBABLE Movement for Consolidation by the Revolutionary Societies. IMPORTANT MEETINGS APPROACHING Review of the Situation and the Existing Conditions. THE SONS AT SAVANNAH ‘The annuel general meeting of the Sons of the Revolution will be held in Savan- nah, Ga., beginning Monday, April 20. This meeting is one of unusual {mportance, owing-to the fect that the question of union between the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution will, after a lapse cf four years, be prominently pressed to the front. The society in this city has emphatically placed itself upon record in favor of the proposition upon broad grounds, and its delegates have received imperative instruc- tions to spare no effort to bring about the desired result. A few years ago it was supposed that the District of Columbia society stood alone for union. Although this was not the condition then, it certainly is not now. Correspondence in the hands of those who are giving the matter material attention shows that the societies in illinois, West Virginia, Connecticut, Ohio, North Dakota, California, Massachusetts,' Missouri, Min- nesota and Kentucky have already made favorable expressions in behalf of union, with a number of other states decidedly inclined in the same direction. New York’s Opposition. As far as cun be ascertained the princi- pal objection to this movement comes from New York city. It appears that questions of social prestige and other considerations foreign to the purposes of the two organi- zations have been made prominent there and engendered a disposition on the part of each soviety to adopt a system of ex- clusiveness ihat now, ow!ng to the posi- tion taken by the societies elsewhere, must within a comparatively short time be aban- doned. In the reorgar@zation as proposed the petty questions of prior organization, names, badyes and buttons cut but a very small figure. The idea hay steadily grown that if these patriotic societies stand tor anything it is for a specific purpose, whose ends can no longer be served by a con- tinued separation, and the cross purposes ‘that such a separation must necessarily en- gender. The Scope of the Plan The plan of the reorganization, which will be discussed at Savannah, 1s not yet definitely completed, but the movement will be along the lines of a general amalga- mation of the societies. In the cities where the two organizations exist, as in the Dis- trict of Columbia and many other places, each society will have the privilege, if de- sired, of examining the credentials of the other, and where questions may arise the matter will be referred to a joint com- mittee for investigation and settlement. The members of the two saciezies through- out the country who are irspired by purely patriotic purposes have grown weary of the continual introduction of petty per- sonal matters into the affairs of the organ- izations, and believe that the formation of ene strong society will permanenuy re- move all such questions fr the field of future discussion. Coming Convention at vannakh, The general meeting of the Sons of the American Revolution will be held at Fich- mond on the 30th of April, and this same quesiion of union will be presented with equal fervor. Of course, the action of tne meeting will to a considerable ex- tent, influence the sentiment at Richmond, and it is among the probabilities that a general convention of both organizations will be called to meet in Washington some time in June to finally consider and settle the question of union, The District of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolution, will be represented at the Savannah meeting by C.F, E. Beale, Will- jam B. Gurley, Albion K. Parris, Henry T. Kemp and A. Howard Clarke. The delega- tion will probably leave Washington Sat urday, April 18, by the Southern railw The northern and eastern delegates will rendezvous here, and all will leave to- gether, arriving at Savannah Sunday after- noon. The meeting will be held at the De Soto Hotel. The delegates will be the guests of the Georgia society, which will entertain them at a banquet on the even- ing of April 20. It is probable that the party on returning will spend a day in Charleston, a es Hotel vals. Willard's.—J. Cooper, New York; J. S: ling, Newark, N. J.; H. W. Greenleaf, Syra- cuse, N. Y.; G. R.

It is charg- ed that they had control over the rooms in which poker games were raided Satur- day night. Conway and Moore, who were arrested at that time, and sentenced, claim that these men had guaranteed them po- lice protection. But the protection proved to be the kind which does not protect.

A Proposition to Be Brought Before the Federation of Labor. Mr. E. M. Blake, chairman of the legis- lative committee of the Federation of La- bor, proposes to bring to the attention of the federation at its meeting tonight a plan for securing the co-operation of organiza- tions representing different interests in se- curing needed legislation for the District. He has drawn up a resolution that he will offer to the federation, authorizing the legislative commitiee “io Invite the co- operation of the different citizs ocia- tions in the District of Columbla in form- ing a legislative council, consisting of a joint committce from each of the organiza- tions, for the purpose of considering and drafting such legisiation as the mutual in- terests of the community may require; such proposed legislation to be sulmitted for the approval and ratifi of ihe several bodies represented, ¥ > view of me- morlalizing Congress in support of such measures as may be ultimately agreed on Mr. Blake, speaking of the plan to a Star reporter today, said: “Why not organize a legislative body of a character to entitle us to the respect of Congress? Such a body will at least be more capable-of shaping legislation than the District Commissioners, who, for want of time, can take so little note of measures submitted to them. These different or- ganizations are now working separately on propositions ef interest to all Classes, but being pressed by representatives of but one body, these measures receive but slight consideration, whereas if pressed by all in- terests in the the chances of their adoption by Congress would be multiplied. This body, if composed of representatives of the central labor bodies, the board of trade, citizens’ assoctations, suburban as- sociations and reform bodies, would com- mand the attention of Congress. It would bring the people together and do away with the fecling of distrust now so often mani- fested between different classes of the community. “Many bills of urgent and important char- acter have practically been pigeon-holed because of the lack of co-operative effort to secure their passage. The labor organiza- tions have now pending sevcral measures of a character that wouid at once reccive the approval of a body such as the resolution I propose to offer contemplates. These meas- vres, however, have suffered the delay usual to District measures because there has been no cne to urge them except the. representa. lives of the labor organizations. If thes bills had been backed up by a representa- tive body of citizens, they would have been enacted into law long ago.” —— Indastrial Misston.
