Great Anxiety Prevails at Con- stantinople. STRENGTHENING FLEETS CONSTANTINOPLE, September 12.—The British fleet, which has been strongly re- inferced, is now at anchor in Kavala Bay, nerthwest of the Island of Tnasos, off the coast of Salonica. The warships arrived off Kavala yesterday. LONDON, September 12.—Lord Rosebery, the liberal leader and former premier, has written a letter condemning in strong terms the recent massacres at Constan- tinople. In this communication he says: “It is far above party question—one of ¢cmmon Christianity, humanity and civill- zation. 1 do not doubt that her majesty’s present advisers share with the rest of us in detestation of the government under which such things are possible, and I think more can be accomplished by diplomacy than by public meetings. I found hopes on the natural sentiment of the young em- peror soon to be among us, who has such pewer and such responsibility for well do- ing.” Fhe Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone has Written still another letter denouncing the Sultan of Turkey. In this communica- tion Mr. @ stone says: In my opinion, the assassin and rot his Mahommedan subjects is the author of the massacres. From first to last their atrocity has no The concert of aceful mockery given t countenance and support to the assassin. Indeed, the presence of the at Constantinople is in itself I countenaace of support to him and his guilty proceedings. The coercion which should long ago have been applied to him might even now be the means of ner series of massacres.

The Turkish government yesterday an- swered the note of the powers in a long tion. The ministry, m trying to arges made, practically denied testimony of the representa- the ocular tives of the powers, and this is now, with od reason, regarded as tantamount to a flance of Europe. As usual, the porte is relying upon the alov existing among the six powers save the sultan once more and at the t moment from being brought to terms, as Abdul Hamid has. so frequently aped punishment during the course of bis long and much-troubled reign, it has grounds for beleving that even now Eu- rope will not step In and put an end to the disgraceful conditions prevailing in the Turkish empire. Meeting of the Powers. The representatives of the powers met again today and discussed the situation, but it is not known that they came to any decision, although communications with their respective governments are being con- stantly exchanged. The inaction of the embassies continues to be sharply criticised here, and redical measures are demanded in order to pre- vent a renewal'of the disorders. Unless such steps are taken, it is believed, it will not be long before there is another out- break here, and it may be of @ much more serious nature than those which have pre- ceded it, in spite of the- fact that the streets of the sultan’s capital are hardly dry with the blood of the thousands of un- fortunate people who were victims of the massacre of about two weeks ago. A Stock Exchange Rumor. LONDON, September 12.—A rumor on the stock exchange today to the effect that a cabinet council had been called for tomor- row caused consols to fall 1 1-4; they closed yesterday, for money, at 110 15-16, and are now 10911-16. For the account consols closed yesterday at 1111-16, and are now 109 12-168. The rumor upon investigation was foual to be incorrect. Prices pn the Paris bourse were lower on the rey that very bad news had been received from the east. This, however, is believed to be a reflection of the London stock exchange rumor that a cabinet coun- cil had been summoned for tomorrow,whicn Tumor has since been officially dented from gn population here, and has | | over entirely to the demonstration. BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION. A reference to the statement be- low will show that the circulation sworn to is a bona fide one. It fs easily possible for a news- paper with an elastic conscience to swell its legitimate circulation enor- mously, in order to deceive adver- tisers, by sending out thousands of Papers to newsstands, which are re- turnable, and which are in fact re- turned, but nevertheless are in- cluded in what purports to be an honest statement of circulation. Intelligent advertisers, - however, judge by results, and bogus circula- tions don’t give them. The family circulation of The Star is many thousands in excess of any other Washington paper, and is be- lieved to be fully five times that of our afternoon contemporary.

PITTSBURG, Pa., September 12—Thirty cars of Homestead steel workers left Homestead at 9 o'clock this morning for Canton, Ohio, to visit the republican presi- dential candidate, Major McKinley. About 2,000 men were in the delegation. This af- ternoon the Pennsylvania railway employes of the western lines will leave on a special train for the same destination. Col. Sam H. Church will make the address to Major McKinley. McKinley Democrats at Ca CANTON, Ohio, September ‘Two train ads of the Commercial Travelers’ Demo- cratic McKinley Club of Chicago reached Canton this morning, the last section arriv- ing at 9:40 over the Baltimore and Ohio. They came to call on Major McKinley. They were met at the station by the Can- ton Commercial Travelers’ escort and the Canton Troop. Heading the party were President D. Hoffstadt, Chief Marshal Frank Higbee, First Vice President E. Dodd, Second Vice President John Devlin, Third Vice President W. F. Grafton, Secre- tary Harry H. Levy and Treasurer A. F. Olger, all of Chicago. Brooks’ Second Regiment Band of Chica- go accompanied the party. Marshall Field and company, the J. V. Farwell company and Carson, Pirie, Scott and company rep- resentatives and the band ocupied the first section, numbering over 400 on this train alone. The second train carried a larger number. The party numbers between 900 and 1,000. ‘They were escorted to hotels for breakfast, and prepared to call on McKinley at 11 Welock. There was great enthusiasm all over the city, as this entirely democratic McKinley delegation, 1,000 strong, marched over the well-paved streets of McKinley's home city. At McKinley's Home. The thousands of people joined the dem- ocratic Chicagoans at the McKinley home at 11 o'clock. The greeting was most en- thuslastic when Maj. McKinley appeared on the doorstep of his house. Following closely upon the call upon Maj. McKinley of the Chicago commercial men came the beginning of Pennsylvania's dele- gation. It surpassed In size, noise and en- thustasm’ all of its predecessors. The first division to arrive was the steel workers of the Carnegie mills at Homestead. They came in a special train of three sections aggregating thirty-three coaches, eac! packed to the platforms. A parade was organized at once, the hcrsemen, the citi- zens’ committee and the Pennsyivania so- ciety of Canton leading. ‘The men marched four abreast, and as tne last were falling in line at the depot the first were almost at the McKinley res- idence. Cheers from thousands of throats all along the line mingled with the music of a dozen or more bands, and the noise all over the business section of Canton was simply deafening. ‘The crowds of Cantonians and of people from surrounding towns and country of the morning had teen swelled to more than double their original proportions, and the crush and jam about the McKinley resi- dence is beyond description. Every department of the big Carnegie steel works was represented in the parade, presided over by Chief Marshal Schwab. J. Molanthy, a workman in the milis, was the spokesman. As he was speaking the trains at the depot were pouring out _a new and steady stream, composed of Pennsylvania com- pany employes and the McKeesport, Pa., McKinley and Hobart Club. These came on special trains, run in sections, and it will be several hours before the las: ar- rives. The railroad company estimates from eastern Pennsylvania this morning were | that from 8,000 to 10,000 people would be | carried to Canton. Indications are that these figures were too low. Pandemonium reigns thrqughtout the busi- ness section of the city.

BOSTON, Mass., September 12.—Barnado Ambrosoll, fifty-four years old, proprietor of the Philadel Philarmonie Hotel, 150 North street, the principal hotel and res- taurant in the Italian colony here, was murdered by Charles Bacigolupo, forty- eight years old, his confidential clerk and devoted companion, at 4 o'clock this morn- ing. The murderer has previously been subject to fits of insanity. It is supposed that a recurrence of the trouble promoted his _ act. The murder took place on the third floor of the hotel on the landing just outside of Ambrosoli’s sleeping apartments. Ambro- scli opened the door and was about to step into the hall when Bacigolupo, who, it is thought, had been on watch all night. Prompted by some wild delusion, stepped forward and fired two shots from a re- volver. Both bullets took effect, one in the right shoulder and the other in the region of the heart. The second shot caused in- stant Jeath. When the murderer saw he rushed from the house and has not been seen since. The police were summoned immediately after the affair happened and they have taken steps to prevent Bacigo- lupo from leaving the city. They expect to capture him within a short time. —— Fer Divorce. Arthur Briscoe, through Attorney Alex. H. Bell, today petitioned for divorce from Jane Amelia Briscoe, to whom he was married at Deposit, N.Y., September 3, 1890. They lived together, says Mr. Bris- cce, until July 29, 1894, when, he charges, his wife deserted and abandoned him, Mrs. Briscoe removing to the place of their marriage, ard his entreaties that she live with Fim, No harm to tham. his victim fall, children have been | Ralph THE NEW CUTTER GRESHAM. British Naval Experts*Regard Her as a Man-of-War. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 12.—At. half-past 2 o'clock this afternoon the rev- enue cutter Walter Q. Gresham was launched from the works of the Globe Iron Company. British naval experts are of the opinion that the new vessel should be classed as a man-of-war, and not as a rev-| erue cutter. It is known that the naval attaches of the British legation at Wash- ington have made a complete report to the government of Great Britain upon the char- acter of the new craft, and that they have classed the new ship as a gunboat. If this report is accepted by the British govern- ment as final, the launching of the Gres- | ham will be contrary to treaty regulations pee the United States and Great Brit- ain. By existing treaty relations each govern- ment is permitted to keep but one war ves- sel on the great lakes. The Michigan serves this government at this time in this capacity. It is not known whether the British government will enter a protest against the presence of the Gresham in the great lakes or not. It is understood here that no complaint -has been made by the British government to the State Depart- ment. In case that complaint is made, the defense of the government would undoubt- edly be that the Gresham and two similar craft were constructed simply for revenue marine service. Should objection be made by the British government on the ground that a revenue cutter simply engaged in preventing violations of the revenue laws could have no possible use for torpedo tubes and rapid-fire guns, such as the Gresham, it {is quite probable that the State Department will call attention of her majesty’s government to the fact that England was first to adopt this novelty in the construction of the revenue cutters which were built two years ago for the Canadian revenue marine, and that in ad- dition to the novelty of their armament, the Canadian vessels carry heavy steel rams. Quite unofficially the officials of the rev- enue cutter service concede that the three new cutters for lake service will be pretty formidable vessels. They will carry bat- terles of light rapid-fire guns, but they are planned to carry a much heavier battery if necessary. They will be more than twice as large as the vessels now in the revenue cutter service, and are expected to steam over sixteen knots an hour. Contracts for the remaining two cutters will be let in November. The Gresham was designed for service on one of the upper lakes, it being the intention for the craft to replace the Johnson. The English government during the past few years has violated the treaty between the two governments, and possibly the United States officials are unable to see any reason why this country cannot main- tain revenue cutters on the great lakes that are as formidable as those which patrol in the inland seas for the Britons. Boats like the Michigan are virtually use- less. Every time a gun is fired aboard of her the woodwork of the vessel is dam- aged. The Gresham is 205 feet over all, 188 feet water line, %2 feet beam, and 16 feet depth of hold. Her displacement at a mean draft of 10 feet 10 inches will be about 900 tons. She is expected to maintain an average speed of sixteen knots an hour when the engine is developing about 2,000 horse-power. She is built of the best open hearth steel, the requirements for which were that it should have a tensile strength of at least 55,000 pounds per square inch and an elongation of not less than 25 per cent in a length of eight inches. 2 ee FUSION IN COLORADO, Silver Party and Populists—Democrats and Silver Republic: DENVER, Col., September. 12.—Late last night an agreement was reached for fusion between the national silver party of the state and the populists at Pueblo. Negor lations were conducted by telephone. The populists were given governor, attorney general, state treasurer snd the two regents. Ag soon as the agreement “wa perfected the silver convention ‘made the following nominations: Lieutenant ¢ov- ernor, B. Clark Wheeler,: Aspen; secretary of state, William Scott Lee, Denver; audl- tor, George Seibert, Puebio; state superin- tendent of instruction, L. S$. Cornell, Den- ver. The union silver, Bryan and Sewall elec- tors, were indorsed. The state ticket was filled by the indorsement of the populist neminee. ‘The conference committees of the silver republican and the democratic parties-at an early hour this morning agreed on the following fusion state ticket: For gov- ernor, Alva Adams, democrat; lieutenant gcvernor, Simon Guggenheimer, republican; secretary of state, C. H. S. Wipple, demo- crat; treasurer, G. W. Kophart, republi- can; aucitor, J. W. Lowell, republican; at- torney general, B. L. Carr, republican; superintendent of public instruction, Miss Grace Espey Patton, democrat; regents of the State University, Dr. O. J. Pfeiffer,dem- ocrat; William J. Orange, republican. Mor- ton S. Bailey, judge of the district court at Canon City, was nominated by the popv- lists by acclamation for governor. Horace G. Clark of Weld county, :etirirg state chairman, was 1 ominated for treasurer on the first ballot. ‘The efforts to consolidate the four silver parties of Colorado in support of the state ticket in the coming election proved a failure. The democrats and silver republi- cans, however, have combined forces in support of a ticket, headed by Alva Adams, democrat, for governor, and the populists effected a fusion with the silver party, their joint ticket headed by Judge Bailey, populist. These four parties, however, have all united in support of the Bryan and Sewall electoral ticket. There remains one state convention yet to be held—that of the McKinley republicans. SS THRONGING TO LOUISVILLE. Trains Bring Large Crowds for To- night's Ceremony. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Septemoer 12.—In- coming trains this morning bring large crowds from all directions to attend the rotification tonight at the Auditorium, of Generals Palmer of Iilinois and Buckner of Kentucky, of their nomination by the national democracy for President and Vice President, respectively. Col. John R. Fellows of New York, who will notify General Buckner, has heen in the city for two days, and Senator Caf- fery of Louisiana, who notifies General Palmer, arrived this morning with a dele- gation from his state. Ex-Congressman Bynum arrived at 1 o’clock from Indianapolis, from whence a special train bearing a delegation arrived this afternoon at 1 o'clock. At the Galt House the candidates for President and Vice President have their headquarters, and this morning the two old men, smiling and in vigorous health, mingled with the crowd in the lobby and were most enthus- jastically received. In the crowd was United States Senator Lindsay of Ken- tucky, who has just recovered from a pros- tration by the heat. He announces he will take the stump for the national democratic ticket. From 11 o'clock till 1 o'clock the wives of the two candidates, assisted by local ladies, held an informal reception in the parlors of the Galt House. The Auditorium has been appropriately decorated for the occasion tonight. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 12.— Russell Club, a national democratic organi- zation, formed since the meeting of the Indianapolis convention, went to Louisville today to participate in the notification ceremonies. The club already has a mem- bership of more than 300, and is composed of prominent democrats of Indianapolis. About 150 members went to Louisville. ‘The club was accompanted by a band. ——— LAURADA’S CAPTAIN ARRESTED. Charged With Violating the Neutral- ity Laws. : WILMINGTON, Del., Septemper 12.— Capt. Murphy of the notorious steamship Laurada was arrested this morning by Marshal Lannan en a charge of organizing and setting on foot a military organization against the King of Spain, in Philadelphta, August 5 last. ‘The warrant was sworn out by the Spanish consul in Philadelphia. Capt. Murphy, with H. H. Ward, his counsel, was taken before United States Ce Smith for a hearing. Dis- trict Attorney Vandegrift asked for a con- tinuance until next Saturday morning, which was granted, and the captain was held in $1,000 bail, which was furnished by DeSoto, leader of the Cuban sympa- in this city. THE CAPITOL. FRONT é Spoak There. s Te exe earn ser Speaker" ‘Reed's. Reply ‘to: Senator Faulkner Eagerly Awaited. - a THE POLITICS OF IT It leaked’out this’afternoon that the Joint democratic committee at’ the meeting at Meyer’s Hotel last *night transacted busi- ness of a good deal more importance in regard to’ the proposed réception of “Mr. Bryan than the members of thé body cared to divulge. The fact Is that they deter- mined upon what Col. Jamés Oliver 8f Par- adise Park would call at “coop day tay- tay” in regard to the place of nolding the ratification meeting next Saturlay night. When the discussion over this subject hag waxed warm and signs of irritation had, be- guri to be evident it was suggested that Mr. Bryan should ‘be invited to make his address from the east front of the United States Capitol. It was pointed out that the entire, population of Washington could gather in the vast area fronting the na- tlon’s' bufding, and ‘that all could at least see Mr. Bryan, even if they could not hear what he had to say. : This proposition was hailed with what would be termed in the far west as “wild acclaim.”’ -But when’ the enthusiasm sub- sided sufficiently it was remarked that per- haps some. permission might have to be obtained in order to hold the ratification meeting in the Capitol grounds. Rowers That Could Give Permission, A committee was delegated to ascertain what was necessary in the premiges,“and found that the taw relating to such matters provided that the Capitol grounds could: be used for public purposes on occasions of national interest and: for the passing of processions arid parades, ‘provided the per- mission of the president of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representa- tives was secured. 2 The law further provided that in ¢asg of the absence of the two officials named such permission could be granted by the board of Capitol guardians, which consists of the architect of the Capitol, the captain of the Capitol police force and the sergeant-at- arms of the Senaté. Vice President’ Ste- venson and Speaker Reed being both ab- sent, if was at first intended to réquest the desired permission from the Capito] gugr- dians. as designated. : The importance of the question, however, Was so great that the democrats on the Joint committee concluded that it would }be “better to approa¢h the Vice President and the Speaker of the House and decided to_have recourse: tothe telegraphic.-wares for that purpose: 3 $ -The Vice Puesident Says .¥es. This - morning, >aevordingly, ~Senator Faulkner, the chatemah of the democratic congresstonal committee, at the request of the local. democrats, “telegraphed: to: Vice President Stevenson and to Speaker Reed explaining the situation here, apd request- ing their. permissjon:4o use the Capitol groinds next Satyrd yj afternoon for the Bryan gathering, “and’also permission for Candidate Bryan to’ speak from the steps of the Capitol bullting.

It 18 believed m republican circles, which became .acquainted-with the inten- tion, of the locat democrats, that ‘Mr. Reed will not regard the visit of Mr. Bryan to Washington ‘and his delivery of a political speech here ag an: event of ‘national in- terest inthe sense intended by the law regulating the use df the “United States Capitol grounds. Some of the more: bitter partisans among the republicans do not hesitate to declare that as the Coxey army and its leader were excluded from the Capitol grounds there'1s no reason why Mr. Bryan afd his followers should not be treated in the same way. Importance of the Answer Some other republicans, however, Tegard the question submitted to Mr. Reed as one that might be productive -of -Hiresults should it be negatively answered. They are aware that the leading demo- crats who are in charge of campaign af- feirs would seize on’2 declination of Speak- ex Reed to grant Mr. Bryan permission to speak in the Capitol grounds as a plausible argument by which they would endeavor to show that Mr. Reed had used his high office to visit partisan displeasure on his political opponents and their leader. It is: understood that several telégrams were sent to Speaker Recd this afternoon, the majority of which advised him to grant the request of Senator Faulkner, ana thus prevent any of the excited discussion that must follow in case of his declination, oo DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

He Resumes His Addresses From the 5 Rear Platform. KANSAS CITY, Mo., September: 12.—Mr. Bryan began his work early this morning. ‘He arrived in Kansas City at 6:30, and at the depot were gathered early a thousand vorkingmen, who surrounded the car and awoke him immediately. A reception committee had met the train at Leaven- worth, but did aot wake the nominee. The workingmen were from the car shops and the packing houses, and they demanded a speech from Mr. Bryan. From the rear end of the platform he addressed them as follows: a “Fellow citizens: This is little earlier then I usually commence my morning’s werk. I am very glad to be able to speak to you, even for a moment. Our oppo- terts tell us that the thing to do is to open mills instead of mints. That reminds me of the man who said that his horse would go all right if he could just get the wagon started. (Laughter and applause.) ‘It is putting the cart before the horse. What use is there for mills unless people can buy what mills produce, and how can you start them as long as those who pro- duce the wealth of this country, particu- larly the farmers, are not able to get enough out of what they raise to pay thei: taxes and interest? (Applause.) There is no more effective way of destroying the markets for what the mills produce than to lower prices upon the products the farmer has raised, so that they will not bring him enough ‘to pay him for raising em. “There was a report once filed by Mr. McKinley in 1890, along with the McKiniey bill and that report declared that there was great industrial depression, and that while there was depressicn in agriculture there could be no prosperity anywhere. It was true then, and it is true today, that while there is depression in agricultural products there can be no prosperity any- where. You must commence at the bottom and work up through the other classes. You cannot commerce your prosperity at the top and expect it to work down through all the classes of society. (Applause.) “You gentlemen who live in this city, surrounded by an agricultural country, know that there is no way of bringing prosperity to Kansas City until you first bring presperity to the toilers upon whose success Kansas City rests. “It does not require financiers, it does not require a railroad attorney to tell you where your prosperity Hes. (Great ‘ap- plause.) Nor can these men prevent you from exercising the right of sovereignty as you please. (Applause and a voice, ‘They are trying to do it.’) “My friends, I met a railroad man _yes- terday who told me that while he did not agree with me on the silver question, an issue had been raised greater than the sil- ver question, and that was whether he lived in a republic, where a man had the right to vete as he pleased, or whether his vote was the property of somebody, to be used as somebody else pleased.” (Applause. A voice, ‘Missouri gives you 100,000 ma- jority, you bet.’) Another volce, 60,000." Another pretty well hersel Earnestness of the People. Mr. Bryan—“‘That sounds very much Ike one of those meetings where they take up a collection. (Laughter.) When you talk about the results of an election, the people from the various states vie with each other to see who can make it the nearest to unanimous. My friends, there is one char- acteristic about this campaign, and that is the intense earnestness of the people. Sometimes in a campaign you find men lukewarm, who do not know whether they are going to bé at the polls or not; and sometimes you find it necessary to get car- rlages to take the people to the polis. Un- less all signs fall, the people are going to be at the polls before the bootas open and stay there'until they close, and there won't be a man-who can get to the polls but who willbe sure to be there. What does it mean? It means that the people are tak- ing the interest in the election that the people ought always to take.

Som-2times people kave com- plained that the laws were bad, and have allowed them to remain ad. They have complained that they cught to be better, and have done nothing to make them bet- ter. If the laws are bad, themselves are to. blame, and if they wish good laws they must secure them themselves. And this interest means’ something.

Mr. White's Denial in the Harewood - Park Suit. The answer of Robert E, L. White, one of the defendants in the suit recently insti- tuted by Lusannah A. Crandall, Emily F. Hort and others of the Harewood Park Land Syndicate, has just been filed. In this answer Mr. White, who appears as his own attorney, sets forth at length the cir- cumstances of the organization of this syn- cate, through the purchase of about 135,- 308 square feet of land from John H. Glick. He denies that Mrs. Crandall is the owner of more than two shares of the stock of the syndicate, whereas she claims in her com- piaint that she owns six shares. He goes on to assert that complainants Crandall and Hort have undertaken, “with their small holdings, namely,three or four shares, to dictate and control the action of the syndicate, without regard to the officers or any member or members thereof, and fail- ing therein in the co-operation of the other stockholders, have brought this suit.” He declares that two of the shares held by Mrs. Crandall were bought in the open market, if at all, and not by subscription the syndicate. ae White in his answer asserts that the complainants had full knowledge of all the transactions of the syndicate, and of the reasons which operated to make it impos- sible to realize on the investment by sale, and he sets forth in detail the unsuccessful efforts to dispose of lots. ‘Answering further the various items of the complaint, defendant White declares that Mrs. Crandall oa one occasion pre- sented to him a written paper purporting to be a call for a meeting of the syndicate signed by the members, “which developed upon a close and scrutinizing examination of the sald complainant Crandall, to be a fcrgery of certain names, as was shown by the admissioa of the said Crandall ia the office of the defendant, and upon the examination and statements of the persons whose names were written upon said paper at that time.” The answer continues: “At the time when said paper was presented to this defendant by said complainant Crar- dall, the complainant, upon beiig exposed, stated to the defendant that if she were a iran she would ‘thrash’ the defendant, and the complainant threatened then and there to ‘get even’ with the defendant.” Mr. White therefore believes, and so states in his answer, that the filing of the suits and the utterance of what he charac- terizes as ‘numerous false statements therein known to be false at the time of the filing of the bill,” are in conformity with this threat to “get even.” He further believes, so he states, that Mrs. Crandall brings the suit because the dull times and the depression in real estate have depre- ciated the property of the syndicate, and she now desires by this method to induce the defendant to buy from her the shares of stock she now pretends to own. To this effect he cites language used by the com- plainant since the filing of the suit to the effect that all she wished to gain by the suit was to make White take the shares off her hands. The defendant therefore submits that it would be unjust to continue a restraining order issued on the basis of this suit, and he prays that the order which now siands be dissolved, and the suit dismissed with costs assessed on the complainants, ——— BELIEVED TO BE JOHN SITEs. Murderer of Conrad Plock May Be in Custody. The police have every reason to believe that John Sites, the murderer of Conrad Plock at Heurich’s brewery several weeks ago, 1s in custody. A dispatch giving in- formation of his arrest at Sykesville, Car- Md., was received at police headquarters this afternoon. The dispatch was signed by Deputy Sheriff L. P. Schultz, and asked for a full description of the man wanted. ‘This morning J. S. Hyatt, postmaster of Sykesville, notified the officers that a man supposed to be Sites was working near there, and Inspector Hollinberger sent a re- qvest for his arrest, together with the offer of a reward of $50 for his apprehension.

A home for boys that wus recently opened at 3416 M street northwest, under the aus- pices of Bishop Satterlee and Sister Sarah of St. John’s Orplianage, is attracting the favorable attention of those who are inter- ested in this form of charitable work. The object of this institution is to receive or- plan and destitute boys between the ages of elght and fifteen years; to provide them with a home, gcod moral and religious training end schooling and fit them to be- come good citizens in after life. Boys are received from any other religious denomi- nation as readily as from the Anglican Church. The work is in charge of the Brothers of Nazareth, an order founded and incor- porated in the Anglican Church ten years ago for works of mercy. The home is in charge of B-other James, O. B. N., assisted by Mr. Sylvester Hone, candidate for holy orders in the diocese of Columbia, in the school. The work owes its start and pres- ent maintenance financially entirely to the Kindness of Dr. Mackay-Smith of St. John’s Church of this city. There are seventeen boys in the home at present. Some have been placed in positions, and many applica- tions have been received asking for the re- ception of others, which the lack of neces- sary means alone prevents. The house has been kindly loaned until one with more spacious grounds can be secured, by Mrs. Benjamin H. Warder of this city.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 12.—Opening prices this morning were fracttonally lower in sympathy with the continued declining tendency in London, consols again being reported weak and active. The concessions in the foreign market were not confined to American securities, the entire list suf- fering from realizing sales, prompted by the increased rate of discount. An ad- vance of rates in the open market to meet the new bank rate was announced during the morning and added to the activity in speculative enterprises. An engagement of £100,000 gold at the Bank of England for export to the United States Indicates the presence of a continu- ous demand, notwithstanding the stiffening of money rates at that center. The foreign tnarket can no longer conceal tne concern occasioned by the return movement of gold, since a further advance in the rate of dis- count incident to such a movement might become embarrassing to some of the larger operators. After the first half hour local prices were impreved by an increased demand from the trading element, based on forthcoming po- litical developments and the prospects of a more encouraging bank stat . Ad- vances varying from 1-2 to 1 1-4 per cent were recorded in many instances, on a small volume of business. Rumors of later disturbances i the London market, caused by the reported issuing of a call for a spe- cial meeting of the British cabinet, resulte4 in an active selling movernent right at the close of business. All the early improve- ment was destroyed, prices closing irres- ular, within a fractional radius of the opening level. The weekly statement of the associat banks reflects a partial return to more normal conditions.

Democratic Primaries Throughout Massachusetts. Democratic primaries for the selection of delegates to state, congressional, councillor, senatorial and county conventions were held pretty generally in the cities and towns around Boston last night, as well 2s in that city. The result of these, combined with the caucuses held Thursday night, shows that the eastern Massachusetts democrats have declared for Bryan and Sewall, for the ratification of the Chicago platform, and is determined for George Fred Williams as its standard bearer in the coming gubernatorial camp: Caucus reports indicate also that the younger democrats have come to the front and taken up the reins of local party politics.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will not the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, by locating and operating a garbage crematory on the selected site near the old observatory, greatly imperil th health and lives of the distinguished oc cupants of the White House? Even if it were true that there are no escaping fumes from the burning offal, it is too apparent for denial that gases in- jurious to health do arise from such matter, and the gathering of large quantities daily in ore locelity, in many cart loads, greatly befouls the air, which the west winds will watt to and across the premises of the E ecutive Mansion, rendering less habitable and healihy the only place provided by the government for the resicence of the chief executive of the nation. While the Commissioners may not further regard tre protest of Sec etary Herbert, who perhaps had in view the health of those employed in the Navy Department, and who remain in their offices during a small porticn of the day, surely they wiil, if they have not already done so, give care- ful consideration for the comfort, health ‘ind lives of those who are obliged to live G in the White House night and day.
