It also showed by the many prizes captured by Mr. Oliver that Wash- ington In one respect has not been asle for the last four years, for it has at least hatched out some fine ducks, though no “ducat: I now wish, through your col- urens, to reach some one who will start a dog show, and as an ardent admirer of ca- nires I know from’the great number of fine dogs in Washington that it would meet with even greater success than the poultry show. Let your columns but shout this and I doubt not of success. AN ADMIRER. paste eal Telephone Conduits. In a recent letter to the president of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com- pany the Commissioners asked what au- thority existed for the issuance of certain permits for the laying of underground con- duits, which application they had refused. President Bryan replying stated that it was never the intention of Congress to proribit the natural growth of the system, and that the law which was cited by the Commissioners was merely intended to act as a stay until the report of the electrical commission was received and acted upon. That report having been received and not acted upon, the authority to issue permits came into force again. FAVOR THE CONDUITS Central Labor Union Acts on Electric Light Trouble. SENATOR SHERMAN'S CONTRACTS Street Pavers Ask to Have Their Old Wages Restored. OTHER BUSINESS The Central “Labor Union held a largely attended meeting last evening, and much important business was transacted. Presi- dent Milford Spohn occupied the chair, and Mr. J. J. Crowley was secretary. A preamble and resolutions respecting the Potomac Light and Power Company were adopted, as follows: “Whereas the laying of conduits in th streets of this city by the Potomac Electric Power Company, under legal permit, from the District Commissioners, is now being considered by Congress, and “Whereas, the work now being done by the Potomac Electric Power Company re- quires the employment of several hundred mechanics, who, under the present de- pressed trade -conditions, in the midst of winter, would be forced into idleness, and many to absolute want if this work is sus- pended and the permit of the District Com- missioners is revoked by Congress, and “Whereas, knowing that at least a thous- and residents are now dependent upon this work for the means to supply the com- mon necessities of life, and that the laying of these subways and the use thereof in competition with a company which claims exclusive privileges of the streets of Wash- ington, is a public benefit and an enter- prise which should be promoted by every citizen who favors equal trade privileges and opportunities; therefore, “Resoived, That we regard as invidious any legisiauion which will prohibit the ex- tension of subways now being constructed, and which wiil thus maintain the exclusive privileges of a corporation, thus fostering monopoly, to the injury of the best in- teresis of the people. “Resolved, That the Central Labor Union, representing the organized labor of the District, for the reasens herein stated, and in the name of the labor of the District, earnestiy protesis against the passage ot the Senate joint resolution, whicn will pro- hibit the further construction of the sub- ways of the Potomac Electric Company, and respecttully petition Congress to con- firm the action of the District Commission- ers, and the judicial decision in the matier involving the quesuon of law and the night of the Potomac Eiectric Power Company to continue to completion the pian of sub- ways now being constructed.” The resolutions were referred to the leg- islative committee, who will bring the mat- ter to the attention of Congress. Pavers’ Wages. The following communication from the Pavers’ Union was indersed and also re- ferred to the legislative committe “Ata special meeting of Pavers’ Protec- tive Union No. 1 of Washington, D. C., the following resolutions were adopted “it being a fact well known to all per- sons interested in paving that the wages of practical pavers prior to July, 18M. were $3.25 per day, when Mr. Moss, the superin- tencent of pairs, reduced the pay lo per gay, and made a further reauction in January, 18%, to $1.75 per day, therefore be it “itesolved, That the Central Labor Union, through its proper commitiee, request that the Congress of the United States inquire into the authority of Mr. Moss to so reduce pavers’ wages; and be it further “Resolved, That Congress pass a bill peremptorily fixing the wages of practical pavers at $3 per day, and that none but practical pavers ‘be employed on District work.” The pavers also reported that non-union pavers were being employed en the con- duit work now being done by the Potomac Electric Power Company, and the matter was referred to the grievance committee. it was reported that the work on the apartment houses to be erected at 16th and U streets northwest by the National Cap- ital Construction Compgny was being con- tracted for, and the committee was con- tinued with instructions to procure the work, if possible, for union labor. Delegate Gompers of Typographical Un- jon reported that at the last meeting of that body a committee had been appointed to actively urge the use of the union-made blue label cigars by the members of the organized crafts. Delegate Weber reported that his organi- zation had withdrawn from the National League of Musicians, and had applied for clans, which is allied Federation of Labor. Delegate MeCrink of the Engineers’ Tnion stated that the engineers had lately form- ed a national organization, which was affil- jated with the American Federation of Labor, and that at the next meeting of his union they would apply for a charter from that body. A resolution was adopted condemning the amendment to the bill now pending in the Senate, which restores flogging in the mer- chant marine service. Mr. Andrew Fure- seth of the Lake Seamen's Union, who is interested in the bill, was invited to be present and address’ the Central Labor Union on the subject at the meeting Mun- day evening next. Senator Sherman’s Contracts. Delegate Shandley of the committee hav- ing charge of the questions growing out of the proposed erection, by Senator Sherman, of nine houses in Northwest Washington reported that they called on the senator Ja second time, ard he again referred to the American A that Masons’ Union, now in convention at Wer- a charter from the Federation of Musi- | them to the architect, Mr. Frank Schnei- der, who, in turn, referred the commitice to the duilder The latter told the com- mittee that the contract for the brick work had been given to a non-union firm. M: Shandiey also reported that {t is under- stood Senator Sherman contemplates buili- ing thirty-four other houses in the san section of the city. The committee was continued and instructed to secure the work for union men, if possible copy was read of a digpatch stating the International Bricklayers H cester, Mass., had indorsed charges pri ferred here by the Central Labor Union against Senator Sherman because he had not given the work on his new houses in Washington to union men, The dispat created some talk, as no such action as that mentioned in the dispatch had been taken by the Central Labor Union. President Spohn," speaking of the matter, after the adjourr ment of the meeting, said: I don’t think the dispatch is correc No charges were made against Sherman. Senaior The ccmmunication sent by U! brickiayers to the national convention stated the simple fact that the contract for the brickwork was given to a fi which, being non-union, worked their men long hours and paid them less than the current wages. It is possible that Mr Sherman did not know that his work wax being done under these conditions, and possibly he would not have given any al- tention to the matter. “The national convention was requestal .0 communicate with Senator Sherman and remind him that in contracts personal to himself that it would be regarded as Father inconsistent in the representative of political party which favors better itions for the working people to coun- any contractor who pays his labor the lowest wages. No one has any per- sonal feeling against Mr. Sherman, and politics is not in it. It involves a question of principle and the interest of unionism.” s ing Committees, Delegate Silver of the committee ways and means reported that the commit- tee had decided to give a ball under the auspices of the Central Labor Union in the near frture. Z A request from cne of the delegates jfrom the Brewmakers’ Union to send a committee to organize the brewers in H. rich’s brewery was referred to the com- mittee on organization.

Judge Locke of the United States cour fer the southern district ef Blorida re dered his decision yesterday at Jacks ville in the Three Friends case upon exceptions of the defense to the libel of government for violating neutrality laws. The point was raised by counsel for the in- defense tnat inasmuch as surgents had not been ’ United States government, they were neith- er a pecple y politic, as defined by section 5283, under which the libel was the Cuban drawn, This was sustaind by Judge Locke, and the district attorney was given ten days in which to file an amended libel. The point was one that ha@ never been raised before. mment at Department of Justice. The officials of the Department of Justice are unwilling to discuss Judge Locke's de- cision in the case of the suspected filibuster the Three Friends, beyond the statem that if the judge at the final hearing sus- tains yesterday's decision an appeal will likely be taken to the United States court of appeals at New Orleans, and if an ad verse decision is rendered there an appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme Court. As understood here, Judge Locke's de- cision is to the effect that the indepen ence or the belligerent rights of the © ban insargents, not having been recogni: United Stat they are not a “state, district or people” within the mean- ing of the sections of the statute under which the bel was brought. Although these sections in the revision of the stat- utes are placed under the Utle “neutrality that word does not appear in the act itself. The original act was passesd in 1794, and was entitled “An act in addition to the act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States.” In ISIS, during the Monroe administration, this act was revised, and the words “foreign prin: state, colony, district or people,” were in- serted, with 'a view to making it apply to the South American insurrection then progress; but the question whether, in fa these designations properly apply to th Cuban insurgents or others in a like situa- tion, never before has been decided by the courts. Should Judge Locke's decision b« sustained by the court of last resort, it would appear that every inhibition in che J act against fitting out hostile expediti of every character against a foreign sta with whom the United States are at pea: becomes of no effect. These inhibitions against enlistment, acceptance of comm sions to serve a foreign state, people, in a8 and against the arming and fitting out of raval expeditions, and declares that all such vessels, together with their cargoes, etc., shall be forfeited to the United States. The question decided by Judge Locke, therefore, is of the highest importance, as if It is sustained, every act restraining (he fitting out of expeditions to aid the Cut insurgents in their struggle against Spar ish authority becomes inoperative. smemretirs ae Left Her Infant. Frances Hall, colored, twenty years old was turned over to the police of the fourth precinct yesterday by Agent Lewis of the board of children’s guardians and locked up on a charge of abandoning her infant. One evening last week the infant, which was only about two weeks old, was left on the front doorstep of a house on Sth street southwest.
