To the Editor of The Evening Star: The shoe clerks of Washington have noted with pleasure the active ald given to all reform and to labor measures in the District by The Evening Star, and would like to invoke its assistance in the early ement. With the influence of ning Star and the co-operation of its readers the success of the movement would be assured. About the Ist of July a movement looking to the uniform closing of shoe stores at 6 Pp-m. was inaugurated by “Shoe Clerks’ Assembly, Knights of Labor, which, how- ever, had a temporary setback by the re- fvsal of an avenue firm to join in the move- ment, but after the clerks had correspond- ed with the main house in Boston, setting forth the conditions of the trade in this city, the firm recognized the practicability of the movement and readily agreed to give it a trial. The sentiment expressed by many mer- chants is uniformly satisfaction with the result of the new order of things, among which is closer application to their duties on the part of the clerks in appreciation of the shorter hours, which, at the same time, entailed no loss of trade to the merchants, but only condensed the same amount of s in a shorter day than heretofore, is merely repeating the argumenis qucted from a cireular issued to the mer- chants previous to the starting of | the movement—that while the merchant would suffer no loss of trade, the extra time gain- ed by the clerk was of considerable benefit to him, in that it gave him what he lacked before—needed time for rest and recrea- tion and the enjoyment of home comforts after a laborious day spent at the store. Many persons doubtless have but a faint corception of the work and consequent fatigue that is undergone by the shoe salesman, who, did they but try the busi- ness for a week, would then have a better understanding of his duties and would gladly extend their sympathy, which can be done in a most substantial way and without any imconventence to the public— simply by doing all their shoe shopping before 6 p.m. except Saturday, when they have until midnight to make their pur- chases. This is only a slight raquest to make of the shopping public, who can, by very little or no inconvenience to them- selves, render an immense service to the clerk. This movement ts being thoroughly agi- tated among the allied labor organizations, and the: ing it their hearty support and act peration. The local Federation of Labor and Dis- trict Assembly, K. of L., are also pledged to ald this movement by all legitimate means, and the federation now has a com- mittee instructed to wait upon those mer- chants who have not yet joined the move- ment and endeavor to convince them that the co-operation of the merchants with the labor unions can only accrue to their ad- vantage.

The Senators lost Saturday's game to the Quakerites through an inability to hit Jack Taylor after the first inning, and because of rank errors in the field. Norton started in to pitch for the home team, but was taken out after the second inning and Ger- man put In. The latter was not satisfac- tory, however, and McJames and Flynn were substituted in rapid succession. A3 Selbach, Farrell and Wrigley each took a turn at the bat, this made fifteen players in the game for the Senators. The Quakers were out to hit, however, and nothing could stop them, although the game might have been better played in the field. The fea- ture of the game was a double play by Cartwright and O’Brien.

Brooklyn today. The coming four games will decide the holder of ninth place. The east wins the National League cham- piorship for the ninth consecutive year. Burke is reported to be so ill that he may not play again with the Reds this season. In Baltimore they will bet 3 to 2 that Jennings will carry off the batting honors. Ed. Hanlon made a wager some time ago that the Baltimores would win with a per- centage of .690 or better. No beating that man. The Giants won fourteen of their twenty games from the six western teams in the latter’s recent series at the Polo ground, which was excelled by no eastern club. Hanlon has signed a young outfielder named Slagle from the Texas League. Either Quinn or Donnelly will not be re- taired for 1896. Quinn will probably be released. Jerry Neps, the Wilmington southpaw, has been signed to pitch for Baltimore. He kept the Brooklyns guessing on Saturday. Pitcher Garvin’s work in the box against the Athletics yesterday was almost mar- velous. In the first game only six scat- tered hits were made by the visitors, and errors alone saved them from a shut-out. In the second not a single safe hit was made off him, aud in the seven innings played before darkness came only twenty- one men faced him. Annual National Meet on Manhattan Field.

Newark’s Double Victory Over the Athletics Gives Them the Pennant. ‘The Newark team is champion of the At- lantic League. It concluded its season yes- terday with a double bill, and winning a double victory, took first honors. The Athletics were the victims. JOYCE AND BECKLEY. How They Have Strengthened the New York Club. 0. P. Caylor In the New York Herald. No base ball team has ever played more satisfactorily for its patrons than have the Giants since the accession of Joyce and Beckley made it possible to close up the weak points on the nine. During this time they have met every other team in the league, except the Baltimores and Philadel- phias, playing thirty-three games and win- ning twenty-four of them, or a percentage ef .727, which exceeds the standing of the champions in the pennant race. The list of victories includes three straight from the Chicagos and Brooklyns, five out of seven from the Bostons and six out of ten from the Clevelands, Cincinnatis and Pittsburgs. It has not been so much the winning of all these games, as the up-hill, aggressive style !n which nearly half were won. * This great work by the Giants comes too late to greatly affect the club's position in the championship race, but Joyce claims that if he had a month’s more time he'd get into the one-two-three class sure. Previous to the acquisition of Joyce and Reckley the nine was like a boat crew with two un- skilled oarsmen in it. One might as well expect to win as the other. There is no doubt that the team which the club now has it will have next spring. It will, however, have another catcher, and probably Rusie, on the pay roil. The Giants have won four series, tied one, lost three and have three unfinished. Only one of the latter can be won or tied. They won 8 to 4 from Brooklyn, 7 to 5 from Chicago, 8 to 4 from Louisville and 9 to 3 from St. Louis. They tied Cincinnati and lost 5 to 7 to Cleveland, 4 to 8 to Pitts- burg and 5 to 7 to Boston. The Philadel. phia series stands 2 to 7, the Baltimore 1 to 8 and the Washington 5 to 3. They have nearly a certainty of winning the latter, but the Philadelphia and Baltimore series are already lost. A great deal of interest centers in the Philadelphia-New York series at the Polo Ground tomorrow, Wednesday and Thurs- day. If the New Yorks can win two of the three games they will thereby almost “cinch” seventh place. Both teams will play desperately for the vantage. ——— as In Moses’ furniture sale 99 cts. buys a Hft-out-fount banquet lamp.—eAdvt.

The event will be a merry one in the history of the organiza- tion, and a large number of the clerks will go up. A large four-horse "bus will leave 32d and M streets at 7:30 o'clock this evening, and arrive at the hotel an hour later. No regular program will be mapped out, though Mr. Willlam Bornheim will act as master of ceremonies. No speeches are down, but a number of those present will be called upon to make a few remarks. The committee in charge of the banquet consists of Messrs. William Bornheim, William Schwartz and Maurice Baer. At the last regular meeting of the assembly there were two members admitted and the applications of four more candidates te- ceived. Hit by a Brick. William Correll, a young white man, while walking through Warehouse alley Saturday night was knocked in the head with a brick by some unknown assailant. The blow was delivered with terrific force on the back of the head, and the young man was lying unconscious tn the alley for some time before being discovered. There is not the least idea as to who threw the brick. The police were notified, and on account of his condition the young man was taken to the Emergency Hospital in the patrol wagon, where his injuries were attended. Correll’ is twenty-two years of age. = A Runaway. There was a runaway on M street yes- terday evening about 6 o'clock, which, for- tunately, resulted in the injury of no one. A horse attached to a buggy, which were hired from Emory, the livery stable keeper of Washington, took fright at the corner of 34th and M streets, and dashed away. The horse had not gone far before he collided with another object, which resulted in the smashing of one of the wheels and throw- ing the occupants out, but, fortunately, not injuring them, Has Been Captured. John Parker, who escaped from the work house some time ago, was arrested in “Bos- ton” Saturday night by Policeman Har- rison. The negro escaped from the insti- tution about six weeks ago, and since that time has been keeping himself out of sight. Saturday evening he appeared around his favorite haunts, and was mak- ing himself hilarious when arrested. A charge of disorderly was preferred against him. "An additional charge of larceny was entered against his name by Policeman Cornwell, for the theft of a suit.of clothes from a patfent by the name of Anderson who was in the work house at the time of the escape, ‘ Death of Mins Hens. Bessie Hess, the beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louls Hes§ of $168 Q street, died Friday evening atvher parents’ residence. The young lady Was Hut three months over twenty years of age, and popular among a large circle of aequaintances, who knew and admired her for her many: vir- tues. She was an ‘éxceedingly bright girl. s held this afternoon at 3 jock from her parents’ residence, and was attended by a large number of people. Bicycle Accident. Ralph Holland, #, white cyclist, while riding over the Conluit road yesterday af- ternoon, collided with another wheelma: and was thrown frouy his wheel, susta a’number of bruises, his speed at the time being quite fast. He suffered a contusion of the hip, and his forchead was badly cut. lie was removed to town by his friends, and a cab carried him to his home on Capitol Hin. Fished Out. Richard Coleman, colored, while drunk yesterday lay down among some weeds on the bank of the canal and went to sleep. While snoring soundly he rolled over into the water, the ducking serving to awaken him and bring him to*his senses. His cries attracted the attention of Captain Forney of a canal boat, who succeeded in fishing the negro out, more dead than alive. Robbed the Store. The store of Robert Daniel, on 3lst street, was entered early yesterday morning by thieves, who suceeded in getting away with considerable plunder, among which was a quantity of shoes and clothing. Though there is no clew to the burglars, the matter Was reported to the police, and they expect to shortly arrest one of the culprits, sus- picion being strong against him. Notes. Rev. Father McCarthy, assistant pastor of Trinity Church, received a telegram yes- terday morning of the serious illness of his brother, who is at Pittsburg, and asking him to come on at once. After celebrating the early mass, Rev. Father McCarthy left on the next train for Pittsburg. James Cartright, a local fisherman, spent yesterday at “Stubblefield” Falls, near Seven Locks, and succeeded in catching a string of a dozen bass, weighing from one pound to two and a half pounds each. ae ages Se Hotel Arrivals.

Permission of the Turkish Govern- ment Thought to Have Been Ob- tained—Interest in the Matter. Censiderable interest is shown in naval circles in the cruise of the Bancroft, the miniature warship designed as a practice ship for cadets under instruction at the Naval Academy. As already stated in The Star, she has been detached from duty at | the Naval Academy and assigned to the European station for service as a guard ship in the Bosphorus opposite Constan- tinople, with the view of being of special | the | use to the American residents of ‘Turkish capital in case of emergency There is no longer any doubt as to her mission, and the very fact that she is to make the long trip is gencrally accepted as an indication that the sublime porte has reconsidered its previously expressed opposition to the anchorage of an Ameri- can warship in the Golden Horn. She was fitted out under hurried orders, and will start on her voyage in a few days. A Three Years’ Cruise. ‘The Bancroft left the Brooklyn navy yard Saturday afgernoon for Tompkinsville, S. I, to take on ammunition and have her coal Lunkers trimmed. She is being fitted out for a three years’ cruise, and many things have yet to be done to put her in condition for active service. It is said that Com- mander Belknap, who commands the vessel, has no specific Instructions with respect to the voyage across the Atlantic beyond gen- eral orders to procezd to Gibraltar without unnecessary delay and report to Admiral Selfridge, commanding the European squad- ron, who is now en route to that port on | the flagship Minneapolis. Although not set tled, it is probable that the Bancroft will stop at the Azores for coal. The vessel should easily cover the 3,202 miles from New York to Gibraltar at the rate of nine knots an hour, which would take just fif- teen days. If her commander decides to stop at Fayal, 2,098 miles from New York, she can be speeded up to ten knots and reach there in eight days. A three days’ stop there for coal and four days’ steaming at twelve knots over the remaining 1,200 miles would fetch her to Gibraltar Septem- ber 27, the same date as if she had sailed straightaway. The stop at Fayal would, however, be safer, and if the weather should be extremely fair, as it usually is at this season, she will be heard from at the Azores within ten days after leaving Sandy Hook. Smallest Warship in the Navy. The Bancroft is the smallest warship in our navy, and is not so large as some ccean-going towboats. She can cross the ocean in fifteen days. Werkmen have been busy for several days rigging her sails, for she is to be provided with the means of ccntinuing on her way in case her engines should break down or her limited coal sup- ply give out. The sails may also come in useful in case she meets with heavy weath- er on the Atlantic. When a small ship is pitching and tossing in the trough of a heavy sea sails can be spread and the ves- sel held steadier before the wind. Besides her seven officers, the Bancroft will carry 102 sailors and ten marines. Twenty-four additicnal sailors for the ships o* the European squadron will be taken as far as Gibraltar, where the Bancroft ex- pects to meet Admiral Selfridge’s flagship, the Minncapolis. It is expected that the tiny warship will reach her destination about the middle of October, and confidence is expressed that everything will have been arranged by Minister Terrell by that time for her to pass the Dardanelles and to take her sta tion near the Turkish capftal for the sup- port of the United States minister and in emergencies to serve as a place of refuge for citizens of the United States. The Right in Turkish Waters. This country was not a party to the treaty of Paris of 1856 or to the treat of London of 1871 which regulate the rights of foreign ships in Turkish waters. Al- though the Turkish government recently refused permission for an American war- ship to proceed to Constantinople on the general ground that such privilege belong- ed only to the signatory powers, this gov- ernment has consistently maintained the right to send ships into the Black sea, con- tending that such sea since the Russian conquests on its shores can no longer be regarded as a Turkish closed sea. While asserting this right, this government has never sent a ship past the Dardanelles without having first secured permission from the Turkish government. The bat- tery limit of the European guardships at Constantinople is six guns. None of the United States vessels now on the European station carries less than eight guns. The Bancroft has but four guns in her main battery, and she was selected as our rep- resentative at the Turkish capital almost solely on that account. It is hardly likely that the small vessel would be sent to Con- stantinople against the wish of the Turk- ish authorities and of the treaty powers, and, although not officially admitted, it is generally believed that the administration has received assurances that no further opposition will be offered to the United States having a guardship at Constantino- ple for the protection of its people and their rights. _————e—_____ Colored Democrats for Bryan.

Committee of Citizen Appointed—The Bricklayers and the Work on the New University. The regular weekly meeting of the Street Railway Protective Assembly was held Saturday evening, and was well attended. Mr. F. M. Dent presided, Master Workman Lawrence being absent from the city. The executive commitice reported that they had attended a meeting of prominent business men at the boerd of trade rooms Friday evening for the purpose of discuss- ing a proposition to erdeavor to use the efforts of those present toward bringing about a settlement of the pending trouble between the Metropolitan Railway Com- pany and its discharged men. Mr. A. A. O'Neill, who was secretary of the meeting referred to, today told a Star reporter that there were about fifteen or s:xteen persons present on that occasion. Among these were Messrs. Simon Wolf, George T. Build, Frank Hume, G. G. C. Simms, F. M. Griswold, P. H. Sheehy, W. O. Denson, Charles H. Hale, Frank J. ‘Tib- betts, Dr. R. Stewart, who presided, and several other business men, also Messrs, F, M. Dent, H. B. Martin and John W. Hayes of the Knights of Labor. After addresses by Messrs. Dent, Martin, Hayes and others a committee was, on motion of Mr. Wolf, appointed to wait on the direct- ors of the railroad company at the con- venience of the latter and see if a satis- factory settlement could not be reached. The chair designated as the committee Messrs. Wolf, Budd Hume, Simms and | Griswold, to which the chair was, on mo- tion, added. At the request of the committee, Secre- tary O'Neill at once sent a letter to the directors of the railway company inform- ing them of their appointment and its ob- ject, and asking them to name a_ time when the committee can have a talk with the directors in reference to the matter. No reply to the letter has as yet been re- ceived. Stonework at the University. At the last meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union the conference committee of that body reported that a conference had been held with a committee of the Stonemasons’ Union, and that the bricklayers were re- quested to aid the stonemasons in their ef- fort to compel Richard Mahoney, the con- tractor for the stonework at the new American University, to sign an agree- ment with the Stonemasons’ Union to em- ploy only union stonemasons on all work in the future. It is stated by the stonemasons that Mahoney has on other work employed non-union masons, but on the work at the University only union men will be em- Ployed. This, however, is not satisfactory to the stonemasons, as the work is being done under conditions which preclude the stonemasons from employment on it. Since the announcement of the work, about ten days ago, none but stonecutters have been employed to set the stone. This would not be objected to by the stone- masons, as the members of both unions work together as stonesetters, b masons regard the action of the cutters as rather Inconsistent, as the stone now being set by the cutters has been de- clared as an unfair product by the Stone- cutters’ National Union. A member of the Stonemasons’ Union, speaking relative to the matter, said: “The stone uted at the university is a marble from the Proctor quarry in Ver- RELIABLE SHOE HOUSES, 930 and 932 7th St. N & CO.’S mont, which has been declared unfair for years, as the wa Ss paid sn r bee the standard rat hay the tone ae by resolution have refused to handle the stcne.

Rater Rn Up to Contract Requirements. Commodore George Dewey, president of the naval inspection board, has completed the report of the board upon the recent per- formance of the cruiser Brovklyn upon her trial trip, and it will be formally submitted as soon as signed. While some small items are mentioned as requiring change, the Brooklyn as a whole is found to be thor- oughly up to the contract requirements, and a magnificent warship of her class.
