Daniel Kenny Got Money Pretending He Was a Voter in Balti- more—Other Cases. The presidential election made its pres- ence felt today in the Police Court. The first of the line of prisoners was Dantel Kenny, a young white man, who, it was apparent, had seen better days. He was arrested last night as a suspicious person, on complaint of the democratic congres- sional committee. According to the testi- mony, Kenny, with a companion, last even- ing visited the committee headquarters, and showing a certificate to the effect that he was entitled to a vote in Baltimore. se- cured a dollar, ostensibly to pay his fare to the monumental city. The man returned later on the same errand, and growing sus- picious, a member of the committee caused his arrest. “Guilty,” said Kenny, when the clerk had read the information. “Were you going to Baltimore to vote?” sked the court. No, sir.” Didn't you know that your action was unlawful? “Yes.

There was a time when the line of coun- ‘y people at the market was very short on election day, because the farmers remained ir homes to vote, but now it is dif- ferent. Scores of farmers, who have an idea that there will be a good mafket be- cause of the ‘ity of countrymen on the ke ad se of the supposed op- portunity with the result that the supply is larger than on ordinary days. This morning there was a fine display of farm produce along the line and many of the countrymen had come snly a short dis- tance, so that after market hours they could reach home in time to cast their bal- lots. Many political discussicns were heard u:is morning, although there were too many Bryan people to make any exci ment. McKinley people were scarce, and, course, the voters from Maryand and rginia were extremely confident. One old farmer, who had voted for many a presidential candidate, said he was going to stay here to hear the returns tonight. He lives In the old dominion, and he said he was not bothered about voting, because he knew Bryan would sweep the state and have thousands of votes to spare. With the Marylanders it was different for they felt that their votes were neces- sary and were therefore going to return in time to cast their ballots. So far as could be ascertained there was only one bet made, and this was one of seven cents and an apple between a colored man from Maryland and a bryan man from the old minion. There were other Bryan men who wanted to bet produce, horses or hats on their state, but because of a scarcity of McKinley men the bets were not taken. Different Feeling Inside. Inside the market the dealers, both dem- ocrats and republicans, generally favored the election of the Ohioan from a business standpoint. Most of them seemed to think that the election of Bryan would have a depressing effect on business, and some of them were really anticipating a reduction in orders tor goods in the event of Bryan's election. Among some of the dealers in meats and fish the prediction was ventured that several failures might follow the suc- cess of Bryan, while one of the florists said he hoped McKinley would win, for, he said, Bryan men don’t buy flowers. On the other hand, of course, some few Bryan men were confident that the success of the tree coinage party would mean better busi- ness and more money, but these men were scarce compared with those who favored the election of McKinley. A Light Fish Market. The fish market, although well stécked, shows the effect the election is having on the dcwn river fishcrmen. Most of the fish- ermen leave the river and go to their homes to vote, and in doing so take a week's holiday. It is during thie season that the fishermen repair their nets and boats and allow the small netters an op- portunity to reap a harvest. This morn- ing the suppiy of fish on the river steam- ers was smaller than it has been at any tme sinc2 the cpening of the season. There are several hurdred fishermen down the river and their votes may change the re- sult In some of the counties. AMUSEMENTS, — Lafayette Square Opera House.—Miss Ada Rehan appeared at the Lafayette Square Opera House last nignt in “The Taming of the Shrew” before the most distinguished audience of the season. The President and Mrs. Cleveland, Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador; the Austrian minister, Lord Westmeath, and Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle occupied boxes, while a number of other well-known society people were pres- ent in the gathering. Miss Itehan’s recep- tion was enthusiastically warm, and the applause which greeted her first appearance was continued at every throughout the production. The company, which is one of the best that has ever supported the popular star, also came in for its share of the popular appreciation, and the whole productioa was one lorg to be remembered. The part of Katherine, as portrayed by Miss ltenan, is effective in every word and action, and she probably never played it better than she 41d last evening. Mr. George (larke, as Petruchio, came very close to the siar at several times in point of honors, and at all times was impressive, his work being worthy of all the applause that was showered upon it. Miss Maud Hoffman, as Bianca, Kath- erine’s sister, was preity, and her love scene with Mr, John as Lucentio, was cleverly giv Tranio, and Robert Shepherd, as Grumio, supplied the comedy in an excellent man- ner, while Sydney Herbert, as Hortensio, who fs in love with Bianco and is reiected by that individual for Lucentio, have an intelligent and spirited reading of his pert. Miss Marie St. John, as the widow, ond Mrs. Join Gilbert, as the old housexeep- er, Curtis, were both exellent, and Mr. Dean Pratt, as the aged suitor for the hand of the’ fair Bianc da hit. from the very beginning. Truesdell and Hazeltine were acceptable in their respect- ive parts. The bill for tonight 1s ‘ Assurance, and those o attend have the pleasure of hearing the full ¢! tion returns read out from 2 special wire which has been run direct to the thester.

New National Theater.—Tkere have from time to time appeared insinuations that the city of Philadelphia Is behind the times. This assumption does not form the ground wondon will work of the merry satire, entitled “Miss Philadelphia,” which was produced at the New 1 ‘Theater last night. It is an entirely fin de slecle producticn, Far too modern to have etther a plot or a scene which demands the serions efforts of an or, it sparkles along with effervescent ditties and scintillant dances, with here and there some humorous conversation just to rest the performers from their more arduous endeavcrs.

The men are good vocalists, and the girls are pretty and vi iou: The quartet, composed of O. M. Scott, Arthur Earle, Joseph Swickard 4 Lynn, did some pleasing work. Their melange in the second act, in costumes representing Li Hung Chang,’ Svengali, a Teuton and a nondescript, was unusually good. Mr. Kel- ly and Miss Ollie Evans presented in the second act a travesty on grand opera that caught the house, especially when Mr. K ly began to improvise, to the demcraliza- tion of the duet. “A Good Thing" is just the kind of show for people with cares that they want to forget for three hours. Bijou Theater—As a scenic production few can equal J. Z. Little's version of “The World.” As a stirring melodrama it stands at the head of the list. So there 1s little wonder that the play Is a favorite and that the Bijou was crowded last night at the opening of the week's engagement. The plot centers about a wayward boy who runs away from home in search of adventure, and finds {t, winding up at length with happiness all his own. The realism that is attained in the tableaux 1s startling, and demonstrates the won- derful strides taken in stage mechanism. ‘This was particularly so of the raft scene, with the mighty ocean rolling and tossing {t about. ‘The supporting company is com- petent, and a number of clever specialties are introduced to enliven the show. Manager Whitesell has made provision for his patrons to hear the latest election returns tonight, and during the evening performance a ‘special operator will read dispatches from the entire country. At 11:30, just when the best returns are com- ing in, another show will start, and con- tinue until the wee sma’ hours. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The Howard Athanaeum Company outranks most of the vaudeville shows before the public. This week it {s filling an engagement at Ker- nan’s, and the performance last night demonstrated that this season it was fully up to the requirements of a first-class ag- gregation. It is a variety show, pure and simple, without those unnecessary ad- juncts of afterpieces and senseless bur- lesques. From the rise of the curtain there is not a dull minute. Kaye and Henry, who open the show, are clever in their comedy skit of “Capital Against Labor; Falke and Semon, those clever mtrical specialists, do an entirely new turn, and introduce several new instru- ments. Sam and Kitty Morton do a neat dance and sing several popular sungs. Eddie O'Dell proved himself a first-class ymnast, and Collins and Collins, the Tyro- lean warblers, were well received. The Levinos contributed an entirely new act, and Dolph Levino demonstrated his capa- bilities as a crayon artist. Morton and Mack were refreshing in their character sketch. They are without doubt the best Hibernian delineators on the vaudeville stage. Grovini and Murray did an acro- batic dance, and Ben Harney, with Strap Hill, was clever in his new specialty. The performance closed with an exhibition on a new vitascope. Tonight there will be a midnight show, during which the very latest returns from the election will be re- ceived and read. ——__.

Steps Taken at the Meeting of the Central Labor dinion—A Biack List Digupproved. The regular weekly: meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union «phich was held last evening was the most interesting that has been held for several months. It was made notable by the fact that President Milford F. Spohn, who was in the chair, championed a series of resolutions which had for their object the creating of a more harmonious spirit among the labor so- cleties of the District than has existed for some time past. The preamble and _ resolutions, which were read by Secretary Pro Tem. M. P. Canty, were adopted by a practically unani- mous vote, there being but one in the nega- tive. They were as follows: “Whereas, a condition of discord now exists between the bodies of organized labor in this city which tends to intensify factional feeling and destroys to an extent the efforts of legitimate trade organiza- tions, and “Whereas, desiring that harmonious rela- tions should exist between all bodies or- ganized and maintained for the benefit of labor, and recognizing the fact that help- ful and friendly relations are necessary to secure the full and best results of organ- ization, therefore, “Resolved, That the Central Labor Union select a committee of five, and here- by requests District: Assembly 66, Knights of Labor; the Federation of Labor and the Building Trades Council to appoint each a committee of five to-meet in conference on Sunday, November &, 1406, at 2 p.m., at Electrical Workers’ Hall, No. 5S ith street northwest, to consider and devise some plan by which all relations will be harmonized, and those methods pur: which will result in the general gooc the organized labor of the District “Resolved, That a copy of these resolu- tons, properly attest be forwarded by the secretary of the Central Labor Unien to the secretaries of D.

Delegates from the Electrical Workers’ Union to fill vacancies were admitted and obligated. ge THE PARKING CASES, Chicf Points in the Decixion of the Court of Appeals, The Court of Appeals yesterday after- noon affirmed the judgment of the court below in the cases of the District against Frank Libbey, Benjamin Miller, Francis A. Belt and Willlam Dyer, lumber dealers, who were prosecuted in the Police Court under the municipal ordinance of Novem- ber 22, 1862, for using public spaces (park- ing adjoining their property) for private purposes. ‘The cases were carried from the Police Court to the District Supreme Court by writ of certiorari, the latter court giving judgment against’ the District, whereupon the District appealed to the Court of Ap- peals, In disposing of the cases the latter court, in an opinion written by Mr. Justice Morris, holds that as the Police Court has concurrent jurisdiction In the matter with the District Supreme Court, no writ of certtorarl should have been granted. ‘The appellate court also calls attention to the fact that in the absence of specific statute the District has no right of appeal in a criminal case. Finally, the court holds that as Congress had fully legislated on tne subject by the organization of the park- ing commission, it was withdrawn from municipal ccntrol, and the corporation was without authority to enact the ordinance of 1862, so far as the ordinance applied to streets and avenues improved in whole or in part by the United States. a RAILROADS BEHIND TIMP. Mandamus Proceedings to Compel Them to Show! Their Reports. At no time since the interstate commerce ccmmission came into existence has there been such delay om: the part of railroad companies in sending in their annual re- ports as seems to prevail this year. The law requires theee reports to be filed not later than September 18. All the leading reads have complied with it, but many roads have not. The cause of this delin- quency is eupposed to have some connec- tion with the general depression and dimin- ished earnings which may affect railroad stocks, As a rule, freight rates remain as usual, but shipments-have fallen off. The commission is preparing petitions to the United States courts for mandamus writs to compel the roads that are in de- fault to file their reports at once, WHAT CAN CUTICURA DO?

The Situation as Observed by a Wash- ington Man Now in the State. Mr. H. D. Walbridge has received a let- ter from Mr. George 8. Chase, a practicing attorney of this city, upon the situation in Karsas. Mr. Walbridge, in transmit- ting the letter to The Star, says that his correspondent was formerly a resident of Kansas and has business relations in all parts of the state, and 1s familiar with its politics; that he is not a rainbow chaser, nor likely to be deluded by appear- ances. The letter is dated at Topeka, and 1s_as follows: Kansas is unquestionably safe for Mc- Kinley by anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000. I base this on indications too numerous to specify in a hurried letter, but by facts like these: The eastern belt (by far the most populous) is simply overwhelmingly for sound money. Topeka is a city of 50,000. I have kept account of about 300 windows—residences—that I have noticed gisplaying portraits of candidates. All but nine are of McKinley and Hobart. Numerous polls are being taken on incom ing and outgoing trains. Every one that I have seen gives McKinley and Hobart a very large majority, and the average is about five to one. Many schools have been polled. Of course, the children do not vote, but they reflect the sentiment of their homes almost exactly. They have been, so far as I have seen the result about in the same ratio as the train poll A fortnight ago there was a big soldier: reunion and flower festival here, which, I am told, was a magnificent affair. Rail- road rates were nominal and there was a tremendous attendance from all parts of the state. The camps were thoroughly polic&, and resulted, as I told you would be the case, in an almost unanimous expres- sion for McKinley. In short, eastern Kansas and Nebraska are more uniformly for sound money even than Washington city. I believe the eastern third of the two states will run three to one. In the extreme west are the old soldiers, where they have settled in order to secure service commutation on their homesteais. The ratio there In Mc- Kinley’s favor is even greater than in the east. The middle belt of the state, li that of the nation, is where the only trou- ble exists. Bryan is possibly a little in the lead there, but nothing near enough to make up for the McKinley strength in the extreme east and west. ‘These are some of my reason: After looking the field over—a field, with which 1 am well acquainted, and of which, coming as 1 do fresh upon it after quite an absence, I can perhaps judye even better than those who have been in the fight from the first—I feel greatly relieved. I feel as if Kansas were at last coming to her senses and determined to vindicate herself. A few years ago she was the pet of the nation, but for the last decade she has been masquerading in every grotesque character that fanaticism could sugg I, like other “formerly of Kansas” people, have grown exceedingly tired of being eternally on the defensive in the state’s b to apologize for Kar t all times and under all circumstances, and of having Jerry Simpson and Mary Ellen Lease men- tioned with a smile every time the state is referred to. Kansas has less illiteracy than any state in the Union, except one. Its institutions are in the very foremost rank. It has sent Its illustrious men into the front ranks of all the professions, who have become an honor to the whole country. Its people are energetic and progressive, and there is no good reason why they should longer be called upon to “rise and explain” on every occasion how it came that the hirsute, the socklesa and the sans culotte got posses- sion of the state and held it so long. = EES Grand Free Flower Show Tonight.

The annual chysanthemum show of John H. Small & Sons opened yesterday at the firm's estallishment, corner of 14th and G streets northwest, whose rooms are ad- mirably adapted for an effective floral ex- hibit. ‘The arrangement of the thousands of blossoms displayed is even more artistic than in former years, and all during the day and evening admiring crowds were coming and going. All the standard varie- ties are shown, and there are some beaut!- ful new ones, notably the Mrs. Perrine, a large pink flower; the Mayflower, a mam- moth white; the Georgiana Pitcher, yellow: Lady Playfair, white; H. L. Suddenbruch yellow, and Philadelphia, a delicate canary. Perhaps the most ing feature of the exhibit is the abundance of orchids of the rarest varieties which are banked amid maidenhair fern in the 14th street window. The whole interior of the ware rooms pr2- sents a beautiful appearance, the tasteful disposition of the flowers and the draping of the walls with smilax being enhancad by myriads of colored incandescent lights. The exhibition should be seen by every lover of the beautiful. It will last all this week. — Mra. Bogue Charges Cruelty. In applying for divorce from George W. Bogue, Sallie B.
