Platt delivered her an- nual address as president, and the reports of the treasurer, Mrs. T. A. Williams, and auditor, Miss L. C. Kessler, were sub- mitted and referred to an appropriate com- mittee. Reports as to the work of the following departments were read: By Mrs. R, E. Law- son, 2n “Work Among Colored People:” Mrs. Hannah Crosby, on Foreigners;” Mrs. H. A. Gillenwater, on “Legislation and Petition. Mrs. F. G. Jones, on “Flower Mission,” and Mrs. Grace Spencer, on “Scientific Temperance Instruction.” An interesting mass meeting, under the auspices of the convention, was held last evening, the president of the District W. C.T.U., Mrs. M. B. Platt® presiding. After prayer, by Rev. G. G. Markham, a Scrip- ture lesson was read by Mrs. M. E. Cohen. The prize banner was presented to the headquarters “*Y" branch for having se- cured the largest increase of members dur- ing the year. The banner was received for the unfon in an appropriate address by Mrs. Gillenwater. An address on the theme “Loyal Unto Death,” the emblem of the delegates, was delivered by Rev. Dr. L. B. Wilson, pre- siding elder of the Washington district of the Baltimore conference. Music was fur- rished by a choir from the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, Prof. Layton, leader. ee 1ORPEDO BOAT CONTRACTS Second Day of Woman’s Christian Temperance Union Convention. NEW OFFICERS =WERE ELECTED “Work Among Report of Treasurer Was Exceed- ingly Encouraging. TALKS BY VISITORS seit eee Pe ere eee The last day’s session of the twenty-sec- ond annual convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the Dis- trict of Columbia, which began yesterday at Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, corner of 5th and F streets northwest, was con- tinued today, and the final adjournment will take place tonight. The convention was called to order by the president, Mrs. M. B. Platt, at 9:50 a.m. Prayer was offered by Mrs. A. S. Gray, after which the minutes of the srevious sesrlon were read by the recording secre- tary, Mre. Emma F. Shelton, and approved by the convention, The reports of superintendents, which were not concluded at the session of yes- terday afternoon, were next taken up, and Mrs. H. H. Hendrickson read a paper, e! titled “Peace and Arbitration—Temple. Mrs. Hendrickson stated that several bands whose purpose was to advocate peace and arbitration had been organized during the past year in Washington, but that they were for the most part composed of girls; it being difficult to get the boys interested, as they liked to take the drill in the public schools. Relative to the temple fund, Mrs. Hen- drickson reported that fourteen “wheeis” had been sent in, twelve of which were trom Chapin, and two from South Washing- ton branches. Will Not Be Awarded Until the Return of Secretary Herbert. Difierence of Opinion Between jureaa Chiefs—Legal Difficulties Submit- ted to the Attorney General, As a result of a difference of opinion be- tween naval bureau chiefs, the award of contracts for the construction of torpedo boats will not be made until after the re- turn to the city of Secretary Herbert, who is expected to arrive at New York on the Paris tomorrow. Chief Constructor Hich- born and Ergineer-in-Chief Melville joined in a recommendation that the contracts be awarded to certain ship builders, already named in The Star, and held generally that there was no occasion for further delay in the matter. Capt. Sampson, chief of ord- nance, did not entirely agree with their conclusions. He protested against the award of contracts for the 30-knot vessels to the Bath Iron works and the Union iron works of San Francisco. He favored the acceptance of the bid of Herreshoft of Bristol, R. L, for this type of vessels, as being more advantageous to the govern- ment than either of the other proposals. He believes the Herreshoff boats are the superior of either the Bath or the Union Iron Works mo¢els. The amount of the awards for these boats as recom- mended to Bath for two of them is $4 000; the amount of t ef bid is $227,500, or a total of $697,500. The Herreshoff bid for three boats of thirty- knot speed is $612,000, The question of price does not enter into the matter so much as other more technical features. The experts who sustain the Hichborn-Melville recommendations point out that the Herreshoff bid was informal and might have been thrown out on that ground in the first place, but they con- sider the Bath and Saa Francisco model# better suited to the needs of the service than the Herreshoff boats. Several interesting legal questions have arsen in connection with the bids, and they have heen referred to the Attorney General for determination. The matter will probably be settled next week. Treasurer's Report. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. T. A. Wiliams, which was the special order of the day, was taken up and accepted by a unanimous vote. The repert stated that the receipts for the fiscal year amounted to $2,073.95, and disbursements to $2,029.07, leaving a balance on hand of $44.08. In- Ciuded in the disbursements was a contri- bution of $155 for the proposed and greatly desired tempie for the W. C. T. U. in the Disirict of Columbia. Miss Lizzie Kessler made an earnest ad- arcss indorsing the report of the treasurer aid appeuling to the deiegutes to rally to the fullest extent of their ability in suppori of the District W. C. T. U., and to assist in currying out its plans. L. S. Weightman, corresponding sec- retary, read a communication from. the co.esponding secretary of the Natlonal Christan Temperance Union, Mrs. Catha- rine S. Stevenson, at Chicago; ulso a tele- gram of greeting from the Maryland W. C. T. U. Messages from Mrs. Johnson, a for- Mer president of Lincoln Memorial, now among the Indians, and Rev. 1 W. Can- t D.D., pastor of Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church South, this city, were also presented. Reports and Addressen, s Jennie Smith of Montgomery Lake Park, Md., national superintendent of rail- road work, was introduced. Miss Smith, who is known by members of the W. C. T. U. and by railroad men almost every- where in the United States, but especially amorg those of the latter employed by the Baltimore and Ohio, as “Sister Jennie,” mace a brief address, which was frequeni- ly_interrupted by applause. Mrs. 8. M. Hartsock, by request, spoke of the uarrow escape of her husband, her- seif and children at their summer home c ee neyr Savage during the recent storm. Application of Civil Service Princi- Mrs. Maria Merrick read a report on ples. “Work Amcng Firemen,” which was closely listened to and contained matters of in- terest principally to the members of the W. C. 'T. U. present. Mrs. M. E. Hartsock read a report of evaneelNstic work conéucted under her superintendence since the last convention. Mrs. Hartsock stated that 1% local unions € evangelistic superintendents, there had been 50 chureh services held by the W. C. T. U., 25 sermons preached in aid of the cause by pasiors, (0 meetings were addressed by members, 7,620 pages of Iiter- ature were distributed, visits were made by unions, 3 district conventions were held, 332 gospel meetings held in various places, there were 26 outdoor services, 380 Pible readings and 144 persons were in- duced to sign the pledge. Mrz. Hartsock’s report further stated that services were held at headquarters without cessation on district days, except during the warm summer days. She had aise, she said, personally responded to the calis of the different unions in giving Bible rea tings, which have been mutually profit- abie, and had likewise addressed several Sunday schools and secured a number of signers of pledges at each of them. Ou motion, Miss Jennie Smith,Mrs. Tatum and Mrs. Hartshorn, who were visitors to the convention, were unanimously elected members. A small application of civil service prin- ciples to the navy is indicated in an order made by the President placing ships’ writ- ers in line of promotion to the grade of chief yeoman, whose compensation is $60 per month. This was done by simply desig- nating the first, second and third-class writers as yeomen of similar classes, and hereafter vacancies in the grade of chief yeoman will be filled from the men of first- class grade, who formerly found it im- possible to rise above the rank of first-class writers. The order is expected to stimu- late the zeal of these officers, who have heretofore been subject to degradation at the whim of the commanding officers, by making them permanent members of an established corps. + e-_____ An American Suicide in Chile. Minister Strobel at Santiago, Chile, re- ports to the State Department the suicide of William C, Hoge, an American citizen, at a boarding house, No. 5 Calle de la Roses, Santiago, August 19. Mr. Hoge was a civil engineer sixty-five years of age. It is said he was a native of Kentucky. For seventeen years he was a resident of Chile, and was successful in the exercise of his profession. About four years ago he left there with some money, to reside at Mon- terey, Cal., but returned in about three months. It is supposed that he had either spent or lost the money he had accumu- lated during his previous residence in Chile, and wes disappointed in his efforts to ob- tain employment on his return. He leaves a widow, a Chilean by birth, in Santiago. He did not take her to tht United States, and did not live with her after he re- turned to Chile. He shot himself twice with a Winchester rifle, the first shot not beirg fatal. —______-«-+-—_____ Pardon Application Denied. The President has denied the application for pardon in the case of Irving A. Pulse, sentenced in Illinois to one year’s imprison- ment for embezzling postal and money or- der funds while postmaster at Glen Ellyn, ti. “The embezzlement of government funds by postmasters,” says the President, “is so common that I do not feel that I ought to interfere with the lenient sentence imposed by the court. * * © I believe that any deliberate embezzlement of public money by a postmaster is lightly punished by one year’s imprisonment.” —__-«-—____. Inspection of Consulates. ‘The result of the personal inspection of United States consulates in Europe by the chief of the consular bureau, Mr. Robert Chilton, have been so satisfactory to the State Department that Acting Secretary Rockhill has authorized him to extend his work into the east. Accordingly, Mr. Chil- ton, who is now in England, will, after vis- iting the consulates in France, Belgium and Holland, proceed by way of the Med- iterranean and India to China before re- turning to the United States. —— Minister Baker Here. Mr. Lewis Baker, minister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San Salvador, is now in this city on leave of absence, where his family reside, on Maryland avenue north- east. He will return to his post the latter part of this month. —_e.—_____ Nominated for Congress. The democrats of the sixth Kentucky district have renominated Mr. A. S. Berry for Congress. The silverites of the third Pennsylvania congressional district have nominated Sam- uel ©. Hudson (silver democrat), a well- known local newspaper man. Mr. Hudson is opposed by Congressman Frederick Hal- Officers Elected. The election of officers resulted in the re- election of Mrs. Margaret Platt, as presi- dent; Mrs. L. S. Weightman, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Emma F. Shelton, recording secretary; Mrs. T. A. Williams, treasurer, and Miss L. C. Kesler, auditor. Mrs. Platt returned her thanks for the honor and confidence displayed toward her by the fact of her re-election, and when she had concluded her remarks she was greeted with the Chautauqua salute, the ladics ris- ing to their feet and each waving her hand- kerchief several times in the direction of the chair. The other ladies named also briefly thanked the delegates for their re- election. Mrs. M. E. Cohen was re-elected vice president-at-large, Mrs. M. E. Hartsock delegate-at-large, and Mrs. Robert Andrews delegate from the District W. C. T. U. The choice of alternates was, on motion of Mrs. R. E.

WOLCOTT AND CRANE The Ticket Named by the Massachu- setts Republicans. os ONE RESULT OF GREENHALGE’S DEATH An Interesting Contest for the Second Position. A CANDIDATE’S RECEPTIONS — Special Corres; ondence of The Evening Star. BOSTON, Mass., October i, 1896. The career of Roger Wolcott, nominated teday for governor by the republican con- vertion, has been one of the most interest- ing and at the same time surprising one’ that Massachusetts has seen. He started out in it as a theoris! and reformer, as an avowed opponent of political machinery; today he te the idol of the Boston politicians, the men whe constitute the greatest machine in the state. Five years ago Wolcott made his first real appearance in politics. He had been, it is true, a member of the lower branch of the city government, and had represented his ward in the state legisia+ ture. But five years ago he was made the pres ident of a new republican club that started out to make the politics of the state cleaner. The club held a big dinner, and there Wolcott made his first great political Speech, and in this speech he attacked Quay and other prominent republicans, The speech caused a sensation at the time, and the politicians all predicted that it would end his political career. Besides. he had voted for Cleveland in 18s4. and the Blaine men—and they are still a legion in the old bay state—were against him to a man. He was too aristocratic also to suit the average politician, too much above them, for he can trace his ancestry back for centuries, and he comes from the very flower of fine old New England stock. A Surprise. To the surprise of the people he was nom. inated for Neutenant governor in 1Sv2, and has been renominated every year since that time. Then he started to travel through the state, speaking in its different sections, He began to win friends and change per- sens who had sneered at him as an aristo crat into admiring followers. Each year hus 2dded to his popularity among the people. His political experience has alsa changed him. He ts far tess of a theorist. He appreciates the force of pract y in politics. He has improved in pu. speak: ing, until now he is one of the best speak- ers in the state, snd no man in Massachu. setts today, not even Henry Cabot Lodge, has the hold upon the people that Roget Wolcott has. Had Greenhalge lived, Wolcott would have been nominated just the same thig year. Nothing could have prevented it, But there would have been a contest in the convention over his nomination. Since Greenhalge’s death he bas made a model chief executive of the state, and a very popular one. His name would have been presented to the St. Louls convention thig year as a candidate for Vice President but for one thing—the fact that he voted against Blaine. His friends felt that this acticn would be enough to prevent his nomination and to bar him out of the race. An Ideal Governor. Wolcott makes an ideal man for governor of Massachusetts. He is a scholar and an orator. He is rich to the point of million- aireism. He is the most distinguished-look- ing man in the state, and his wife one of the most distinguished-looking women. He is zealously honorable. Last year he could Lave been nominated for governor. The opposition to Greenhalge’s renomination Was strorg, and at one me looked invinci- ble. Pressure was brought to bear upon Wolcott to be a candidate for first place on the ticket; the nomination was practically offered to him. But he said no, ano siovug by Greenhalge, although it involved tha risk of nis own political retirement. Wol- cott is still Neutenant governor, although performing the duties of governor. Tne makers of the constitution of Massachu- setts, either in their wisdom or their for- getfulress, made no provision for the lieu- tenant governor taking the oath of gover- nor, and so Wolcott is only acting gover- nor. The Second Place. For the second place upon the republicam ticket there wes a very bitter fight. The two candidates were Mr. Crane and Col. Samuel E. Winslow of Worcester. Mr. Crane is the man who makes the paper upon which all of the government money is printed, and his family have been paper manufacturers for generations. For the past four years he has been the Massa- chusetts representative upon the national committee. Winslow is also a manufac- turer, a maker of roller skates. His father built ‘up an immense business In this line, and his death, a short time ago, has left if in the hands of his son. Winslow is known to all Harvard men. He was celebrated as the captain and pitcher of the college nine when they won everything that was played, and since his graduation he has regularly coached the base ball teams of his college. He served for two years as the chairman of the republican state committee, and is still a very young man. A Stepping Stone. In Massachusetts the position of lieuten- ant governor is a great prize, as it means the governorship. It is the custom in this state to promote lieutenant governors to the highest state office, amd this has been done without a break for years. Winslow has made a personal campaign. As chair- man of the state committee he acquired a personal acquaintance with the republicans in every city and town, and this acquai ance he has used in his campaign. He also started a new idea for Massachusetts. This was to go through the state and holding a series of receptions, in order that people might see him. He had the greatest confi- dence in his personality, and took this means of impressing it upon the voters. But the plan did not work well, for the cities in which he held these receptions all sent delegates for his opponent. One Bad Mistake. Winslow made one fatal mistake in his campaign. He imagined that the party leaders were against him, and he endeav- ored to stir up a revolution against them. Lodge and the other leaders were attacked on the ground of being aristocrats and political tyrants, and Winslow's friends declared that the old leaders must be re- tired. But the republicans of the ciate did not take kindly to the suggestion. Crane had behind him the real powerful men cf the party, as he had not consented to be a candidate until great pressure was brought to bear. He took no part in the contest pers nally, but his friends worked for him loyally. ee HIGGINS ELECTORS WITHDRAWN, Delaware Republicans Harmonize on an Electoral Ticket. There will be but one republican elec. toral ticket in Delaware. The republican state central committee Wednesday re- ceived and accepted the resignations of Wm. C. Spruance of Newcastle and Manlove Hayes of Kent, the electors on the Hig- gins ticket, and unanimously nominated James G. Shaw and D. M. Wilson of New- castle and Kent, respectively. The latter two were electors on the Addicks ticket. The remaining elector was nominated by both sides. Nothing was done in regard to the rest of the ticket. —___+e-+—___ Damage at Port Royal. The con.mandant of the naval station at Port Royal, 8. C., reports to the Navy Department that the recent storm did con- siderable damage in that vicinity, the sta- tion losing roofs, fences and light struc- tures. Reports are coming in of damage near Port Royal. One seaman was drowned from a vessel in the harbor, twe large schocners are ashore below the sta- tion, and one tug was sunk at the whari at Beaufort. The commandant filled the dock, and thus it escaped damage, though the waves broke heavily over the entrance,
