THE SILVER MEN'S STRENGTH The Administration Somewhat Discour- aged, But the Fight Will Go On Advices Received Have Not Been Ac- curate—Sound Money Leaders Who ‘Will Go to Chicago. The printed stories representing the ad- ministration as in a panic over the recent shew of strength by the silver men are pronounced an exaggeration of the situa- tion. Some discouragement is admitted, but no panic. The fight is going on, and will be made as hot as possible. Not Accurately Advised. The administration has not had accurate advices from a distance. The result in Ala- bama is a case in point. Reports from that state, prepared for administration con- sumption, were strongly in Clark's favor up to the day of the primaries. The sound money champion was declared to be mak- ing a wonderful race, and as likely to win it. This in the home of Morgan and Pugh was full of the happlest promise, and was accepted as a sample of what was to be expected in other southern states. But, as has-now been shown, there was no justifi- cation whatever for such reports. Mr. Clarke developed very little strength, and was distanced in the race. He carried only a baker’s dozen of counties. Anxious About Other Localities. One of the discouraging effects of these Alabama returns is to bring into question administration advices from other local- ities. Is Secretary Smith's estimate of the Georgia situation correct? Has it been in- fluenced to any degree by his hopes? Is Kentucky as safe as Mr. Carlisle has been led to believe? The convention there will not be held sooner than the middle of May, and maybe not until later, and will the action of that body be influenced by the solid front put up by the silver men in Tennessee, Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, and maybe, Georgia? These are regarded as important ques- tions, and, warned by its experience with Alabama, the administration, from now on, will endeavor to secure the most trust- worthy information obtainable from locali- ties where contests are in progress. Roseate hopes, founded on goosebone predictions, are to give way to hard facts, no matter how unwelcome. Learning Another Lesson. The sound money men are also learning another lesson. Some of the ablest of them had determined at one time not to attend the Chicago convention. Personal dis- gruntlements of one kind or another had operated to make them indifferent to the work to be transacted by that body. Sen- ators Gorman and Brice and Mr. Whitney were quoted as among those certain to re- main at home. It looked, indeed, as if Sen- ator Hill might be the only man of the highest tactical skill present to do battle against free colnage. The silver men were quick to seize this point, and forthwith aranged to send their most experienced men to the convention. Mr. Vest and Mr. Cockrell ef Missouri, and Mr. Harris of Tennessee, have not been ac- customed to attend national conventions, but they are going to Chicago, and will be joined there by many other free coinage democrats of eminence, and all will work together to force the white metal on the party. Leaders Who Will Go. There is reported now a change of pur- pose on the part of the leaders of the sound money side. It is said that both Mr. Whitney and Mr. Brice will attend the convention, and some pressure may be brought to bear to Induce Mr. Gorman to do as Maryland democrats are for sound money, and, regardless of divisions over local affairs, are reported to be anxious to have Mr. Gorman take en active hand in what promises to be the most largely attended and {mportant party gathering since the Cherleston meeting in 1860. Things Will Be Interesting. Hill, Gorman, Brice and Whitney, op- posed to Vest, Cockrell, Harris and Jones of Arkansas, ought to make the Chicago meeting interesting from every point of view. Tactical skill, parliamentary ma- neuvering, pugnacity and oratory will be in evidence from the jump. o—___ HARDLY IDENTIFIED. The Body Found in the Potomac Be- HMeved to Be Young Mazzocchi. The mother and brother of Bunfiglio Mazzocchi, who disappeared December 6, 1895, visited the morgue this morning to look at the body found in the Potomac near Georgetown yesterday and, if possible, identify is as that of the missing boy. While the Mazzocchis are not entirely convinced that the body found is that of Bunfiglio, they are inclined to think it is, and will give it burial. There was nothing by which to identify the body, except the clothes. The missing boy had on a suit of blue clothes when he disappeared last De- cember. The clothes on the body were old, drenched and faded, but it was clear that they were once blue. The missing boy was seventeen years old, and as far as the family know, had no motive or reason for running off. He disappeared between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening of December 6. He was out on the sidewalk playing with the little children of the family when last seen. The sister showed the reporter a little framed photograph of the lad, who ap- peared to be about 5 feet 4 inches tall, stout, smooth-faced, with light hair, cut’ short. He had been employed in the fruit store, and was a good-natured, diligent fellow, little likely to run away from home. He had no money on his person to furnish an incentive to others to do him harm. At first it was thought he had gone to Mazzocchi’s other store, at 1420 14th street, and a girl was sent there to find him, but he had not been there during the evening. The only physical means of identification on the body found in the river was the teeth, but most of the teeth in the body are out, and none but the upper front teeth remain to judge by. The Mazzocchis took home the clothes taken from the body, believing them to be those of the missing son and brother. | ene ae For a Divorce. Richard H. Gemeny today petitioned for a divorce from Gertrude A. Gemeny, to whom he was married at Alexandria, Va., ‘January 17, 1884. He claims that his wife finally deserted him in 1893, after having previously refused to accompany him to Alabema. He also charges that she is of intemperate habits, declaring that he en- deaycred to have her accompany him to the west that she might be cured of her alleged unfortunate taste. He says he still loves her, but is forced by her conduct to institute the suit for divorce. Attorneys M. G. Bruce and W. V. R.

Milton Hatcher, a colored man, was given a trial In the Police Court today by a jury on a charge of violating the policy law. He was defended by Lawyer Carrington. For several weeks Precinct Detective Hartigan has suspected that Hatcher was engaged in the business of enriching the gamblers who are permitted to conduct their establish- ment In Virginia, at Jackson City. The offi- cer had seen him go in bar rooms and among hotel porters, and suspected that he was collecting money and plays. On one occa- sion the officer stopped him, but found noth- ing on him. At that time the officer warned Hatcher that if he worked gt the policy business he would get in’ trouble, and last week he arrested him. Hatchér had in his pocket a piece of paper, an which numbers were written, but he denied that he was in the policy business. Several other witnesses were called, but none of thent had played on Hatcher, and he was acquitted. = - Ein A Bureau of Eifucation. There 1s 4 proposition to establish in the army a@ bureau of education, to exercise supervision over all the eolleges and acad- emiles where military tactics are taught by officers of the army. The suggestion is made that the proposed board be composed of an officer from each the cayalry, infantry, ar- tillery and engineers, with the superintend- ent of the Military Acadetny as the chair- man. One of the duties of the board would be to provide suitable text books for theo- retical instruction in modern . ordnance and equipment, and all practical features of military science. ———_-.

Ex-Congressmun Posey of Indiana is in town, and reports a very confident feeling among hoosier republicans this year. They expect to carry the state, both for the local and the national ticket. Mr. Posey is a candidate for his party’s nomination for governor, and as such has fam{larized him- self with the existing political gentiment at home. In his conversation with a representative of The Star today Mr. Posey said: “The situation is best explained by the fact that for the state offices to be filled this year there are dozens of republican aspirants, but very few of the other side. Some twelve or fifteen gentlemen are com- Peting for the republican nomination for governor, while the democratic leaders are shy about offering. Mayor Taggart of In- dianapolis, on the strength of his municipal winning, was thought to be siated for the romination, but he seems disinclined to make the race. Ex-Congressman Shivley is mentioned, and may be selected. But the gereral feeling in the state is that this 1s not going to be a good year for democrats.” “What are the prosp2 of the election of a republican legislature and of a repub- lican successor to Mr. Voorhees?” “Very good, indeed. The question of ap- portionment is still unsettled, but I think the general tide in our favor insures us the legislature along with the other prizes at stake. The republican organization in the state is exceilent, and the prospects now are that we shall sweep things in Novem- ber. ° “If the republicans carry the legislature, who is likely to succeed Mr. Voorhees in the Senate?” “C. W. Fairbanks of Indianapolis and W. R. McKean of Terre Haute are at pres- ent the most prominent candidates. Both are strong men, with means and ability. Other candidates may develop as time passes. “What is the feeling in the state about General Harrison and the St. Louis nom- ination?” “The Indiana republicans are very proud or General Harrison, and of the admirable administration he gave the country as President. They would support him for another term in the White House with enthusiasm, But they know that he do: not desire another nomination, and tney consider, as he considers, that his letter on the subject takes him definitely out of the calculation. Of course, it would ve absurd for anybody to say that General Harrison would decline the honor if the St. Louis convention, through divisions and a deadlock, should turn to him and put the standard again into his hands. But that is not expected—is not desired by General Harrison—and accordingly the republicans of the state have made another per cent of them are f¢ jam Mr. Allison and M: Reed have admirers among cur pecple, but for this year’s race as matte! now stand the demand is for McKinley. Aa es AL ALLOWED. r Me. Chapman's Case to Be Taken to je Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals today allowed an appeal in the shape of a writ of error to the United States Supreme Court from its decision rendered several days ago, affirm- ing the conviction of Mr. Elverton R. Chap- man as a contumacious witness before the Senate sugar trust investigating commit- tee. The application for the allowance of the writ of error was made in the Court of Ap- peals by Mr. Chapman's counsel yesterday, as reported in The Star, and Mr. Chief Justice Alvey announced the decision of the court today. He explained that the court felt war- ranted in granting the writ because of the following language used by the Su- preme Court when it denied the application of Mr. Chapmun for a writ of habeas cor- Dus several months ago: “We have hereto- fore decided that this court has no appel- late jurisdiction over the judgment of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in criminal cases, or in hateas corpus; but whether or not the judgment of the Su- Breme Covrt of the District of Columbia reviewable in the Court of Appeals may be reviewed ultimately in this court in such cases where the validity of a statute of, or an authority exercised under, the Unit- ed States, is drawn in question, we have, as yet, not been called upon to determine. To await the action cf the Supreme Court, Mr. Chapman was directed to give a bord of $5,000, It is understood that the government will move in the Supreme Court to dismiss the appeal, and will con- tend that a writ of error does not lie in such a case. It is generally believed, how- ever, that the court will hear the case on its merits, and will refuse to dismiss it on a mere technicality. ——— eee COMMITTEES TO MEET. A General Rally of Workers for the Christian Endeavor Convention, A meeting of all the central committees who are making arrangements for the ap- proaching Christian Endeavor convention, together with the afds of the auxiliary committees and choir leaders, will be held this evening at 7:45 o'clock in the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Addresses will be made by Rev. Dr. S. M. Newman, Rev. Dr. T. S. Hamlin and General Secretary John Willis Baer of the United Society in Boston. Tonight's meeting will be the fifth in the series of committee rallies arranged by the committee of "4, which has for its objects the creating of an enth stic interest among all local Christian Endeavorers in the July convention, and the detailing of the plans, and the giving of instructions regard- ing the work to be done. It is what is called an “officers’"’ meeting. The central com- mittees are the executive boards of the large auxiliary bodies, subordinate to the commit- tee of '96, who are charged with the prep- aration of details in certain branches of the preliminary arrangements. The “aids,” as they are called, are specially designated members in each society, the chairmen of the contingent from the societies, which, combined, form the large auxiliary commit. tees, The central committees and aids num- ber about 500 persons. In addition, any one interested in the Christian Endeavor con- fenton will be welcomed at tonight's meet- ing. Secretary Baer arrived in the city this afternoon, and will address the gathering this evening. He will remain a few days to confer with the members of the commit- tee of '% about convention plans. As he is well known to the local members of the or- ganization, it is expected that a large num- ber of them will take advantage of this op- portunity to hear him again. The service eaudas will close with a consecration serv- ice. Policeman Edward Jack of the third pre- cinct had a lively time last night when he arrested Charles Owens and Alice Johnson, colored, for being disorderly cn the street. Owens had been drinking and he declined to go with the officer without trouble. When he resisted his female companion came tc his assistance, and during the trouble the policemar’s badge was torn from his coat and his clothing was dis- figured. The prisoner, Owe! said he had been drinking, and he hardly knew what happened. He had never been arrested be- fore on a charge of assaulting an officer, but had been charged with other offenses. Judge Miller said that while the assault was more serious than the disorderly con- duct, he thought the workhouse was the proper place for him. He did not like the idea of sending these men to jail, where they live in idleness, but he could not do otherwise. A sentence of ninety days in jail was imposed, and he was fined $10, or thirty days on the farm, for disorderly conduct. The woman was fined $10, or thirty days. — Bicycle Accident. Mr. Robert W.

Correspondents of LADENBURG THALMANN & 00., 6a An Interesting T Before the Wo- man's Indian Association. The Washington Auxiliary of the Wo- man's National Indian Association, of which Mrs. A. G. Wilkinson is president, and Mrs. Sally K. Alexander is acting sec- retary, held a meeting this morning at the Ebbitt. After the transaction of ihe rou- tine business an interesting address was delivered by Miss C. B. Pond on the Pueblo Indians of Zuni. For a number of years past Miss Pond has been a teacher in the school established among these people by the Presbyterian board of home missions, and has, therefore, had an opportunity of becoming acquainted h them. She was accompanied by @ native Indian girl, about thirteen years of age, and a number of specimens of the child's skill in needle- work were examined with a great di of interest by the ladies. Miss Pond spoke of the position of women among the Zunis, and said that the husband is not considered as alone representing the family, but the wife had a distinct personalit She held property which her husband could not in- terfere with, and the children belonged to her. In speaking of the difference in this respect the laws and customs of the whites showed, Miss Pond said that the Indian concluded that women were not very high- ly regarded by the whites. She described the houses of this particular Pueblo, which consisted of a cluster, one house or more preperly rooms, being built 0 another, and here the population of about 1,600 lived. The streets for the must part were bull: over, and were consequently tunnels. The ventilation of the houses, of course, was defective, and che filth of the place, she sald, was something indescribable. Some houses have been erected apart, and one especially shows evidences of comfort aud cieanliness, and unis was the home of the parents of two girts who had been educated at the mission scnool. — Got His Money. Mary Bush, a South Washington colored woman, who was wearing a second-hand tea gown when she appeared in the Police Ccurt today, was before Judge Miller on a charge of theft. She met Coleman Jones on Virginia avenue last night, and became rather familiar on short acquaintance. Coleman is employed under the District government, and had sixty cents in_ his pocket last night. Mary took all he had, and he called a policeman and had her ar- rested. She tried to make Judge Miller be- lieve that she was interested in a church meeting last night, but her looks did not indicate that she was much of a church- goer. Judge Miller gave her sixty days, but did not order restitution, for Mary had only five cents in her pocket, ———_—_ An Address by Mr. Sovereign. General Master Workman James R. Sov- ereign of the Knights of Labor and Mr. H. B. Martin of this city, a member of the executive board of the order, attended the meeting last evening of District Assembly No. 66, K. of L., and the former made an address on the subject of immigration.

The charge of false pretenses preferred against Harry N. Behre, the New York drummer, because it was alleged he was furnished meals under false representa- tions, as published in yesterday's Star, was nolle prossed in the Police Court to- day. ——._—_ Lamont Not a Candidate. From the New York Sun. Secretary Lamont came over from Wash- ington yesterday, and, after meeting a num- ber of democrats in Mr. Whitney's offices in the Mutual Life Insurance building, left for Monmouth Beach, where he hopes to hire a cottage for his family for the summer months. Secretary Lamont said a few words as to his alleged candidacy for governor. “It is wcll known to my friends,” said he, “that I have not been and could not be a cardidate for governor. My place at Wash- ington would preclude that, and, besides, after I retire from the cabinet I hope to re- sume my business here in New York city.” if b room provided with | |F. B. PYLE, Architect.
