His Advoency of Free Silver—A White Cap Order—Other Matters of Interest. The Bryan mass meeting in the opera house last night was one of the largest and most enthusiastic that has been held dur- ing the campaign, fully 1,000 people being-in the hall. ‘The gathering was composed of many of Alexandria’s prominent citizens. Senator Morgan spoke for more than two hours and created much enthusiasm as he spoke of the bond issues. On his arrival in this clty he was met by a committee, composed of J. T. Beckham, sr.; Capt. W. H. Smith, M. B. Harlow, President of the Bryan-Sewall Rixey Club, and Geo. T. Hopkins and es- corted to the Opera House. M. B. Harlow presided, and introduced the Senator, and upon the stage most of the leading citlaens were gathered, includ- ing J, T. Sweeney, chairman of the demo- crati¢ committee; Frank Hume, William H. Smith, Leonard Marbury, Mayor L. H. ‘Thompson, ex-Mayors Henry Strauss and J. T. Beckham, S. H. Uunt, J. H. Strider, J. T. Henderson, W. F. Carne and Major Robert Hunter. Senator Morgan said that “as President George Washington signed a bill for the free coinage of silver, which stood for ¢ighty-one years until it became an ob- struction to the gold policy of John Sher- man ard England. They repealed the Washington law, and we are trying to re- stere it. That is the offense for which we are denounced as anarchists, repudiators, thieves and spoilsmen. Joe Pulitzer, Jim Bennett, Mark Hanna, Perry Belmont, Pler- pont Morgan, Pullman, Benedict, Carnegie, Carlisle and’ Cleveland decry Washington as a lunatic, and his followers as a frenzied mob. Would Washington have paid Roth- schild $12,009,000 to purchase six months of financial independence of Great Britain? Did Washington ever propose to use his great wealth so as to grind the people who lived and fought with him, by destroying the money they used, and compelling them to buy gold from him, which he got for his crops in England?” He referred to the decrease of values in the south and quoted ex-Senator Walsh of Georgia on statistical values. He referred to the support of trusts by McKinleyism. “Great Britain,” he said, “destroyed free inage of rin 1816, causing an enor- mous debt to be left on continental Europe. “McKinley asks you to ratify the Washing- ‘ilimore.

Save him- self who can. “Panics will cease when the banks have no further need of them to depress prices of property and labor. After Bryan’s elec- tion the panic factories will be closed for the want of raw material. If we should call in and pay off all our bonds, as the de- mocracy fntend to do, the banks will be in @ panic to get a silver underpinning for their shaving shops. Senator Morgan received a great deal of applause at the close of hts speech. The Bryanites will have nightly mass meetings until the close of the campaign, and will leave no stone unturned to carry the city. White Caps After Him. Yesterday Mr. S. Heyman, who recently epened a shoe repairing shop on King street, called at police headquarters and turned over to Chief Webster a threatening letter, which he had received by yester- day's mail. The letter is without date, but the postmark en the envelope says it was nailed in this city at 6 p.m. October 28, nd reads as follows: S. Heyman: I feel it_my duty as a citerson of this Common Wealth, to inform you that your lite is in danger; there is Big Sceams in to overthrow the building in which you occupie. It will be done in daylight, and while you are at work. Now if this is ot sufficient warning for a man what is. e been warned before by another K. K., and don’t seem to heed it.

Chief Webster is now endeavoring to lo- cate the writer, and ff he ts found the case will be turned’ over to the United States authorities. The matter is regarded as a jcke by the police, but the receiver is much concerned. Won His Suit Against the Railroad. The corporation court was engaged all day yesterday in the trial of the suit of Charles Quayle against the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon Electric Rail- road Company for $10,000 damages by be- ing injured by the cars of the defendant railroad company on November 15, 1804. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs. S. G. Brent and Edmund Burke, and the railroad company by Mr. J. R. Caton, At 5 o'clock the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, allowing him $%,27) damages. Police Court.

Commercial Trsyelers Ask for Better - Rates, The officials of the Southern Railway Company have awakened to the fact that it does not always take a rival railway sys- tem to get it involved in a war. This time the trouble is with that section of the great army of commercial travelers belonging to the National Travelers’ Protec- tive Association who are located south of the Potomac and east of the Rio Grande rivers, and who want railroad fares reduced not only for those who can afford to pur- chase 1,000-mile and 2,000-mile books, but also to those whose travel is limited usual- ly to short distances and perhaps but few times during the year. It is also, it is stated, the desire and in- tention of the promoters of the movement to, if possible, get the Southern to reduce its freight tariffs between Baltimore, Wash- mgton and Norfolk and non-competitive points, as well as between the places where the system enters into competition with other lines. Under the superintendence of Mr. E. E. Smith of the national railroad committee of the Travelers’ Protective Association the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis- sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky have been flooded with pamphlets designed to work up a sentiment which will eventually induce the Southern Railway Company to grant the favors named, and among others interchangeable mileage books such as are in vogue in the north, but whose use have not yet reached the south. The salient points of the pamphlet outside cf a large number of statistics introduced are as follows: “The Travelers’ Protective Association of America is an organization of business men for the purpose of rendering more cordial the relations between firms and their agents, of promoting the interests of domes- tic and foreign commerce, and of providing protection in ease of injury or death for the relatives of those men daily traveling in every section of our country. .“The officers of the various southern di- visions and local posts desire to call your attention to some matters of profound in- terest to every citizen in the south—it mat- ters not what his occupation. “In order that our purpose may neither be misrepresented nor misunderstood, it may be proper for us to say that we are plain business men, and that we are citizens of the south, and that we believe that we are actuated by a desire for just and ccnsider- ate treatment only, by loyalty to the spirit of the southtrn progre: and by a pa- trlotism that would promote alike the pros- berity of all sections of the country. “We are the friends of the laboring man, cf the farmer, the fruit grower, the retail merchant, and seck the good of these as well as of the traveling man, the jobber and the manufacture What benetits one will benetit all; what hinders the sucess of one affects the prosperity of all. Nor could we consistently be the enemies of. corporations or of organized capital, as has pecn sometimes represented. ary to carrying forward great enter- and those in’ charge of them shall our most loyal support in all meas- ures consistent with the public good.” The pamphlet is signed by the officers of the divisions of the Travelers’ Protective Association in all the southern states above named, These are ————— OBSTRUCTI TE STREETS. Railroad Train Delayed Passengers for a Long Time. During the past few weeks citizens of East Washington, as well as those who reside in South Washington below the line of the Baltimore and Potomac rail- road, have made complaints of the ob- struction of the grade crossings. In South Washington the New Jersey avenue cross- ing causes most trouble, although other crossings there have been’ complained of. On the Ire of the Baltimore and Ohio road there are several crossings, in the sixth and ninth police precincts, where trouble of this kind is expertenced every day. The Massachusetts avenue crossing in the 6th precinct {s probably obstructed more than any other and hundreds of people who are employed in the govern- ment printing office are delay Some- times some of them are delayed so long that they are late getting to their place of employment. Only yesterday afternoon the cro: was obstructed more than five minutes and the teamsters and pedestrians who xrew impatient called to the trainmen to open the crossing, but the men on the train only laughed at them. Policemen have ever been among those delayed, but they failed to do their duty in the matter and ing institute proceedings in court. In the fifth precinct Tuesday night, where Policeman W. E. Oweas met an obstruc- tion in the form of a long freight train, he raade an ineffectual effort to play the part of a good citizen and then he asserted his legal authority. He had heard of other instances in which these obstructions had been caused, and so he called on Prosecuting Attorney Pugh and swore out a warrant against Eugene Hancock, who was conductor of the train, charging an obstruction of the street cross ing. The section of the police regula- tions under which the prosecution was brought reads: “No train, locomotive or car shall be al- lowed to stop or stand on any street cros: ing for a longer period than two minutes at any one time, nor shall any such train, locomotive, car or cars be parked or stored on any street, avenue or other public place for an unreasonable time. This morning the warrant was returned to the Police Court, where Judge Kimbail heard the case. The conductor entered a plea of guilty to th charge. The policeman stated the facts in the case. He reached the crossing at twenty- eight minutes after 10 o'clock, and when he saw that the train was going to stand there a long time he called upon the rail- road men there to cut the train and clear the crossing. The conductor, he said, he could not find and the engineer said he could not move the train without orders. He saw the train on the crossing for twenty-eight minutes, but he could not tell how long the train had been there be- fore he arrived. In his own behalf the conductor said he had his train there waiting for a pas- senger train. His train was to follow the passenger train. Judge Kimball remarked that this was a gross violation of law and imposed a fine of $10, which was patd. ———— AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—Until last night the center of the stage had by natural right belonged to the senior star of the Keene-Hanford combination. in Julius Caesar the virlle Mare Antony is a figure of more interest than the subtle Casstus. Mr. Hanford is well known in that role It is pehraps his best effort. The character idealizes the orator,, and Mr. Hanford’s oft-noted resemblance to W. J. Bryan gives the performance an accidental interest which is interesting, although ir- relevant. Mr. Keene gave to the part of Cassius the grace of diction and the en- ergy which his experience enable him to command. Mrs. Hanford assumed the role of Portia and won approval. The play was mounted in a liberal and attractive manrer, the supernumeraries being sufti- ciently numerous to prevent the impres sion of sparseness, which so frequently mars ihe effect of scenes in which mobs are supposed to participate. The produc- tion was made in the same painstaking and intelligent spirit that made the previous performar-ce of the week enjoyable. Tonight Mr. Keene will appear as Othel- lo, Mr. Hanford as Iago and Miss Hopkins as Desdemona. ae Take through car for Falls Church at Mt.

Henderson, jr., who is now campaigning with his father, ex-Senator Henderson, in the west in the sound money cause, has written to his mother in this city, dated Linneus, Mo., last Monday, in which he says: “I think I can truly say that we are in the thickest of the fray—right where the bands play the liveliest, the people shout the loudest and where enthusiasm borders upon riot. Father is at present addressing the third meeting today—about 1,000 people. I can hear the noise two squares away. This morning our special car was dropped from the regular train at La Clede and a special engine took us to Milan. There at 1 o'clock father addressed a meeting of several hundred farmers in the court house. Mr. Polaski, a speaker from Chicago who is traveling with us, followed in a ringing speech. At the next stop several hundred people crowded about the car with a brass band and called for ‘Uncle John.’ Father sloke unusually well. Then we came here just in. time to reach the meeting where father is now holding forth. I shall prob- ably speak later. “It is a mistake to believe that Missouri is solid for Bryan.

Judge Hagner today, as was predicted in The Star several days ago, refused to order the adrainistrator of the estate of the late Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt to pay over to the heirs-at-law one-half of the estate minus certain allowances to the exe- cutor under the contested will of February 7, 1873. The judge, however, directed the administrator to render an account. Judge Holt died in August, 1894, and un- til more than a year later it was generally believed that he had died intestate. The latter part of August, 1805, the alleged will of February 7, 1873, was received by the register of wills from an anonymous soure; The instrument named Mr. Luke Devlin as executor, and divided the estate, estimated to be worth between $150,000 and $200,000, between Miss Lizzie Hynes of Kentucky and Miss Josephine Holt Throckmorton equally. The next of kin of Judge Holt contested the validity of the document, and last summer, after a long and determined legal fight, a jury declared that it was not made by Judge Holt. The beneficiaries under the so-called will noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals, but some time later Miss Hynes, for a val- uable consideration, assigned her interest in the estate to the next of kin, after hav- ing withdrawn from the contest over the alleged will Before that document made its appearance the Probate Court, upon the assumption that Judge Holt had died in- testate, appointed the National Safe De- posit Savings and Trust Company admin- istrator of the estate. So, after Miss Hynes had withdrawn her appeal, and after she had assigned her interest in the estate to the next of kin, the latter asked the Pro- bate Court to direct the administrator to pay over to them one-half of the estate, less certain reservations in favor of Mr. Devlin. But while the other side did not object, the administrator, through Attorney R. Ross Perry, did object, for the reason that the contest over the estate Is sill pending, and because it is not certain that there is not another will in existence. In refusing today to grant the desired order, Judge Hagner referred to the fact that during the trial one of the next of kin, Washington Holt, testified that he had been told that Judge Holt had ma @ subse- quent will, in which he w amed as ex- stor. Although this second instrument has not yet been found, Judge Hagner said, it is by no means certain that it is not in existen Then, again, the judge thous no sufficient reasun for now ordering vision of the estate has been shown. But, while he refu 1 to grant the order at this time, he said he would, nevertheless, direct the administrator to r Tan fount, The appeal of Miss Throckmorton and Mr. Devlin in the contest over the alle will of February 1873, is now pending in the Court of Appeals, and will probably be considered by that tribunal some time next month.
