UNUSUAL INTEREST All Classes Looking Forward to the Hutchins-Davis Debate. DIVIDED INTO CONFIDENT CLANS Sketches of the Men Who Will Fight a Duel of Argument. THE ARRANGEMENTS Public interest in the joint debate which is to take place at Convention Hall tonight between Mr. Stilson Hutchins and Mr. Hen- ry E. Davis is very great. The sen- timent {s not confined to any class or either sex. Lawyers, bankers, bus- iness men, clerks, mechanics and labor- ers have all been ineager pursuit of admission tickets ever since the assurance that the debate would take place has been established, and women never displayed more anxiety to secure matinee tickets than they have been showing in their ac- tivity to procure cards to Convention Hall.

The unusual sight of harvesting by moon- light was witnessed on many farms in Lin- coinshire when operations were continued up to midnight. It was the first fine day experienced for upward of three weeks, and being anxious to finish, farmers made most of the opportunity. A considerable acreage of corn was gathered in, but a great deal of it has been rendered worfh- less by recent heavy and protracted rains. tives, Messrs. Lawrence Gardner and C. V. Gates, have been simply overwhelmed with requests for the coveted tickets. They have been personally pleaded with by ear- nest legions, and their mail has been load- Mr. H. E. Davis. ed down with correspondence to the same effect. Silver and sound money men as well as those who want any old thing with a government financial promise tagged to it have been courting for the favor of admis- sion to Convention Hall as ardently as though they were seeking exaltation in the hearts of their fair ones, and the more zealous have even sought to purchase tick- ets at prices higher than Italian opera or- crestra stalls bring when the speculators have looted the box office. All Are Partisans. All these people are divided distinctly into two factions. The silver men and the close friends of Mr. Hutchins are proudly ccnfident that he will simply wipe up Con- vention Hall floor with Mr. Davis and leave his remains like a bedraggled dish rag hanging over the footlights of the stage. The sound money men and the intimates of Mr. Davis, on the other hand, declare with emphasis that indicates abso- lute assurance that he will not do a thing to Mr. Hutchins but put him through an intellectual threshing machine and pulver- ize him to such an extent that nothing but the finest sort of chaff will be left. Six or seven thousand people holding these views with a tenacity that is unyield- ing will gather tonight to Hsten to the duel of argument, confident in their own minds that their particular champion will make his side of the discussion a demonstration that cannot be assailed or controverted even were Demosthenes to come again to try it on the one or Cicero be resurrected to attempt it on the other. No other two men in Washington prob- ably are more widely known than Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Davis. Both have been log prominent in the affairs of the’ com- munity. Mr. Hutchins is the founder of the Washington Post, which he began pub- lishing here in 1877. At the same time he entered actively into other business ven- tures here, and took his place in society. He has besn successful in his material af- fairs, and is generally credited with bemg several times a millionaire. He is large and powerful of physique and active and athletic as a youth. While he has never figured as a public speaker, he 1s noted for his intellectual ability, and is famous a3 a brilliant _conversationalist and after-dinner talker. He has been a democrat all his life and en equally firm believer in the double standard of metal money. Mr. Davis is a much younger man than Mr. Hutchins, and is a native Washington- jan. From his earliest boyhood ne showed evidences of mental attainments of a high “character, and a thorough education, re- ceived at the best schools and universities, where he reaped honors unstinted, added fine accomplishments to his already rare Mr. Stilson Hutchins. abilities. As soon as he was graduated in the law he attracted the attention of learn- ed jurists by his comprehensive knowledge of the niceties of the law, and soon came te be regarded as one of the leading mem- bers of the bar. He showed himself as apt in argument as he was familiar with legal subtleties, and swiftly achieved distinction. He took an active part in public affairs, and his reputation for brightness and his ability to discuss the social and political problems of the day was soon established. Mir. Davis is below the medium neight, but is strongly and trimly built. He has been ar ardent democrat all his life until the present financial issue was brought to the front, and has been prominent in the local democratic politics. Program of Proceedings. The debate tonight will begin at 8 o'clock, after several selections have been rendered by the band in attendance. Ticket holders alone will be admitted at the main entrance to Convention Hall, on New York avenue. Mr. Hutchins will proceed to the scene ac- companied by Mr. Lawrence Gardner and a party of friends. Mr. Davis will be escort- ed by the officers and the members of the executive committee of the Sound Money League. These gentlemen will meet at the Raleigh at 7 o'clock and proceed in car- tiages, with a band, to the Concord flats, where Mr. Davis resides. There a seBenade will be given and the march to the ha’l commenced. Senator Charles J. Faulkner, chair.aan of the democratic congressional committee, will preside, and the official ——— will be Messrs. Robert Bos- well and Hunter Gait. The debate will oo- cupy two and a half hours. Mr. Hutchins will open with an address of fifty-five min- utes. Mr. Davis will follow for a similar period. Mr. Hutchins will then devote twenty minutes to closing his side of the debate and Mr. Davis will bring the dis- cussion to an end by the same length of time. Only Two Surely Fatal. From Tid-Bits.

The city now has its much-hoped-for sewer, running through King street, and in a few days the “traps” and ‘catch basins” will have been put in and water rushing under the ground “slick as grease.” From what can be learned of the mat- ter it is said not to be the intention cf many of the adjoining property holders to tap the sewer, which would have given the city a revenue that would have, to say the least, paid the interest on the money expended in erecting the sewer. Its sole duty now will be, as The Star reporter learned, to carry off the waste water on King street and the streets crossing it at right angles, as was done before by the surface drainage. Alexandrians are first to call for improvements, but last to use them. It is said that an ordinance -e- quiring property holders to tap the sewer for closet purposes will be passed. Many think that the money spent on the sewer could have been better spent in im- proving the streets, which are in a very bad condition; many of them need renew- ing from end to end. An effort has been made by some of Alexandri: leading cit- izens to have better streets, and the last legislature authorized a bond sale to the amount of $200,000 for street improve- ments, but the city fathers have not seen fit to take advantage of it. It is hoped that ere long some change will be made in the material used in building the streets, for they are certainly rough and disagree- ride over. Street improvements Ex-Dean Joseph Packard of the Theo- logical Seminary Wednesday celebrated in his home on Seminary Hill the sixtieth an- niversary of his coming to that institution as a professor. The professors and stu- dents of the seminary called on the doctor in the afternoon to present their congratu- lations. Dr. Packard was one of the Amer- ican committee on revision of the Old Testament. Rev. T. H. Rice Returns. Rev. Thoron H. Rice, pastor of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church of this city, who has been in Atlanta for the past week look- ing over the parish there to which he has been called, returned to his home in this city today. Mr. Rice has not said whether he will accept or decline the call to At- Janta, but it is hoped by his many friends that he will conclude to remain in Alex- andria. Political Meeting Postponed. Owing to the Hutchins-Davis debate in Washington this evening, the meeting of the Bryan-Sewall-Rixey Club, at which Messrs. James R. Caton and Joseph E. Willard of Fairfax were to have made speeches, has been postponed until tomor- Tow night. Registration Books. The registration books of the city will be opened on Saturday, October 24, for the purpose of receiving the names of those who desire to vote on the 3d of November. The books will be found on that day at the verious voting precincts. It is ssid that a large number will regis- ter. Those who have moved out of one ward to another will have to secure a transfer in order to vote. Police Court.

Business men and residents along F and G streets between 5th and 15th streets northwest are much gratified over the suc- cess which has attended the new order of sweeping the thoroughfarés by hand in- stead of machines. The ‘concrete and gut- ters, they say, present 4 new and strange appearance, being kept free, from dirt and debris. It is also said thatthe cost of this work, which is Leing done under the super- vision of Inspector Robert E. Doyle, is m0 greater than that for machine work, while it is eminently more satisfactory. Business men on streets intersecting F and G streets are ccnsidering the advisability of asking the Commissioners to adopt’ the same s; tem on their streets.

VIEWS OF PRESIDENT A. A. THOMAS As Expressed in a Letter Received by the Commissioners. UNDER AN OLD ORDER A letter from the president of the United States Electric Lighting Company to the Commissioners today recalls a matter of considerable interest to the citizens of Washington. It refers to the removal of the overhead wires along F street between 9th and 15th, and their burial in under- ground conduits. Away back in 1883, June 83 was the exact date, the Commissioners issued a permit for the burial of these wires. The company at the time did not avail itself of the privilege, which was granted in accordance with the act of Con- gress, Three years later, on June 22, 1896, the company expressed a desire to place these wires underground, and made application to the Commissioners for a permit. This was refused. Then the company exhibited its permit of three years prior and claimed the right under it to place the wires under ground. The question was submitted to the attorney for the District for a legal opinion as to the Commissioners’ right to recognize-the permit. He held that the permit was valid and had not been re- voked. Nothing was done by the Commissioners, and today President Thomas submitted the following letter upon the subject: “Referring to your letter of September 14, 1896, advising me that the board had directed a permit issued to the United States Electric Lighting Company to re- place a wooden pole at the corner of Yth street and New York avenue northwest, with an iron pole of the kind used for public arc lighting, and requesting the company to show cause why existing over- head wires attached to such wooden pole should not be removed, I am pleased to advise you that the charge of poles has been made and all of the overhead wires referred to have been removed. 4 Wires Under Ground. “The United States Electric Lighting Company has always been and is now not only willirg but anxious to place its en- tire system of wires under ground, in ap- proved conduits of the very best kind known to science, in conformity to the de- sire of the public, as well as to correct business principles. In compliance with this policy, and under the sanction of various acts of Congress applicable there- to, the company has already, at great ex- pense, placed under ground almost all of its former overhead system. The remain- ing overhead wires are only an insignifi- cant fraction of the original plant. It is the desire of the company to place these remaining wires under ground at the earli- est posible date. “Among the wires still remaining over- head is a line upon the south side of F street between 9th and 15th streets north- west, one of the most congested business thoroughfares of the city. Every objection ever urged to an overhead wire is peculiar- ly applicable to this particular line. For the convenience and safety of the public the company is particularly anxious to place it ur der ground. “June 22, 1896, for the purpose of affecting the removal of this overhead line, I ad- dressed your board a letter, calling your at- tention to the fact that, upon June 3, 18%, the board had issued a permit to the com- pany authorizing it to place this particular line, with many others, under ground; that this permit, however, required that the par- ticular location of the conduit, in the said street, should be subject to your approval; that the company was ready and des‘-ed to remove the line and place it under ground to the end that the street might be entirely relieved from all overhead wires, and that the company respectfully requested you to fix the exact location in the street fo® the contemplated conduit or subway. Location of the Conduit. “No response to sald letter having been received I have the honor to again invite your attention to the matter and again re- quest that you will, at the earliest conveni- ence of your office, inform the company what particular location in said street is satisfactory and will be approved by you for the construction of the conduit or sub- Sand authorized by the permit of June 3, “In view of the recent loss of life and property by the tornado of September 29, the possibility of the repetition of that dis- aster at any time, the obvious desirability if not necessity of removing all overhead wires, the universal public sentiment, which cGemands such removal, and the repeatedly declared intention and will of Congress in this regard, the company assumes that your honorable board will hasten to unite with it in speedily removing the objectiona- ble overhead wires now existing upon the above mentioned thoroughfare. “To accomplish this result no further ac- tion upon your part is necessary than the simple designation of a location upgn the street for the construction of a conduit un- der the permit already granted; but even if further permit be necessary the company infers that your honorable board is satisfied of its power in the premises from the fact that upon the 17th day of September last you issued to the Postal Telegraph Com- pany a permit for the construction of an underground conduit for electrical purposes cn F, 14th and E streets northwest, partly in the very street covered by our existing permit. If the Postal Telegraph Company is entitled to such a permit, either by way of placing existing overhead wires under ground or by way of extending an existing underground conduit, there can be no pos- sible doubt of your power, if necessary, tv issue a new permit to enable the United States Electric Lighting Company to bury its overhead wires, especially as that will be done by an extension of existing con- duits. ’ “Asking your immediate attention fo this matter as much in the interest of the pub- lic as that of the company, I am, very respectfully.” a THE EMRICH ASSAULT CASE. Phillips’ Alibi Fails and He is Held for the Grand Jury. Today in the Police Court, when the hear- ing in the Emrich assault case was re- sumed, Lawyer Kuhn appearing for Chas. Phillips, the defendant, called Fannie Gib- son, colored, and her married daughter to prove an alibi. They live on Capitol Hill, and they testified positively that Saturday night, September 19, he came home at 11:3¢ o'clock. They were sitting up, waiting for the return of another member of the fam- ily, who was expected from the country. ‘When the defendant came in they looked at the clock. Counsel for the prisoner, during the course of his argument, referred to the fact that two shots had been fired, while the pistol produced in court yesterday oe that only one shot had been fired 7m “That makes no difference,” said Judge Miller, ‘for I am of the opinion that there were two men there.” g “That is undoubtedly Precinct Detective Hartigan. certainly two men there.” Judge Miller there was enough to hold the defendant for the grand jury. The alibi was not erough to clear Phillips by » remarked “There were any means, for tle wi at home an hour before the shooting. ‘The case was sent to the grand jury and bond was fixed at $3,000.

A Case of Alleged Violation to Be Tried Next Wednesday. Next Wednesday in the Police Court Mr. R. A. Golden, dealer in fish and game in the Center market, will be tried on a charge of violating the game laws. The charge against him is that he had exposed for sale four quail. Under the law the season for quail opens November 1, and the law provides a penalty of $5 for each bird found in possession or exposed for sale. Mr. Golden is sick and the case was continued until he is able to appear in court. Although the District law pro- hibits the sale of certain birds at certain seascrs of the year these birds are some- times shipped here from a distance so that their sale, it is claimed, does not in any manner interfere with the birds in this sec- tion of the country except so far as it may affect the gunners who make their living in this way. ‘Che bird laws in the different states very considerably, and although a bird legally killed in one cf the states and shipped here, if it is out of season here the dealer is not permitted, under a penalty, to expese or sell the game. It is likely that in this case the defense will set up the plea that the birds were legally killed and that the law here cannot interfere with commerce between the states in this manner. Dealers in game are very much interested in the case, as the result may seriously affect their business. ae ‘TO SUCCEED BISHOP KEANE. Three Names That May Be Presented at the Election Next Week.

The District Supreme Court Will Do No Business That Day. Judge Cole announced in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning that hereafter Satur- day will be regarded by the District Su- preme Court and its various branches as a dies non so far as the holding of court for any purpose is concerned. That is, the judge explained, court will be hereafter held on that day only when it is absolutely necessary to do so. While it has in the past been the rule to dispense with the trial of cases on Satur- days, that day has generally been devoted exclusively to the hearing of motions, but hereafter, in order to make that day a hol- iday, or one to be entirely dévoted by the judges to consultation or the consideration by them of cases of motions previously ar- gued, motions and arguments will be heard on such other days as the judges of the va- rious courts may individually designate In his court, said Judge Cole, there will be no particular motion day, motions to be heard at 3 o'clock on days other than Sat- urday, and Sunday, of course, that counsel interested may agree upon. ‘This making of Saturday a virtual holi- day hereafter will not, of course, close the various offices of the court. They will be open, as heretofore, on every week day not @ legal holiday, from 9 to 4, for the trans- action of business. a Reasonable Request.
