Tlertz’s S FEDERATION OF LABOR. Considered at the Meeting Last Night. ‘The roll call of delegates at the meeting of the Federation of Labor last night showed about 108 present. The committee on credentials recommended ‘the accept- ance of credentials from nine organiza- tions which were presented. Complaint was made by the Carriage Workers’ Union that while over seventy- five skilled carriage and wagon workers are walking the streets in idleness, work was sent from the city. A communication was read from the in- augural committee inviting the federation to take part in the parade. This provoked considerable discussion, as it was cl that union labor would not be given the assurance tNat their interests would be protected in the construction of the stands, &c., also that, although the money collect- ed for the inaugural exercises was con- tributed by Washingtonians, the committee let the contract for the supper at the ball to a Philadelphia firm, who proposed pre- paring it in Philadelphia, bringing it over, with help, &c., the day of the ball, and not leaving a dollar of the money in Wash- ington. Remarks were made by several delegates ever the system which, it was claimed, is practiced by the police of arresting honest workmen coming through Washington for mo other reason than that they were out of work. Delegates from the Tailors’ Union re- ported that their union intended celebrat- ing the anniversary of their organization with a banquet February 27. The committee on legislation was in- cted to prepare a lien law bill to pre- nt to Congress. As it is now, it was claimed, a laborer or mechanic’ can be cheated out of his pay by any unscrupu- Matters | lous contractor who chooses to do so. The delegates from the plasterers reported that their sembly had applied for a charter from the international body at the same time as the new so-called plasterers’ union had; both had placed their cases in the hands of the general executive officers of the International Union at Chicago and Boston. The decision was that the new organization was not a legitimate labor union. A charter was refused them and sent to the ol¢ and parent organization, “the K. of L.” It was reported that the eight-hour law Was being violated at St. Elizabeth Insane Asylum. An invitation was extended to the delegates to attend a discussion at Typographical Temple between the single taxers and the socialists. —_—+ SEALERS ARE DISMAYED. Prices in London Many to Tie Up. Private cablegrams from London state that at the Hudson Bay Company's sale of Low Determine furs yesterday salted fur seal skins sold per cent less than last month. The average price for all skins sold was £1 10s, 44. The above information has created con- sternation in business circles at Victoria, and busir men say that it means the fetal extinction of the sealing trade as far Victoria as is concerned.

WINE, SONG AND JEST GENTLE REMINDER Celebration of the Minetieth Birthday of The Bricklayers Trying to Use Moral Suasion Robert B. Lee. Fhe Confederate Veterans’ Associa- tion Enjoys an Inspiring Reunion and Recalls Army Experiences. With feasting, song and oratory the nine- tieth anniversary of the birthday of that shining light of the lost cause, General Robert E. Lee, was last evening most ap- propriately commemorated by the members and friends of the Cohfederate Veterans’ Association, Camp 171, U. C. V. To the number of several hundred they assembled at National Rifles’ Armory, and from 8 o'clock until long after midnight paid trib- ute to the deceased hero. Not only the confederacy, but the Union as well, joined heartily in the celebration, and perhaps the most enthusiastic applause of the evening Was acccrded those of the speakers who Curing the troublous days of 1861-'65 had fought against Lee. The assembly took place in the upper hall of the armory, which was artistically dec- orated with bunting and flowers, the stage being a veritable forest of palms and other Potted plants. Many ladies were in attend- ance. After a pleasant social session the party proceeded to the lower hall and took possession of six long tables. ‘he presi- dent of the association, Capt. R. Byrd Lewis, who officiated as toastmaster, sat at the head of the center table, and on either side of him were Messrs. John Goode, J. McDowell Carrington, ex-Senator M. C. Butler, W. E. Morsell, Representative H. W. Cgden, Capt. H. P. Littlepage, Frank- lin H. Mackey, “Corporal” James R. Tan- rer, Representative Charles J. Boatner, Benjamin S. Minor and Rev. Randolph H. McKim. The Speeches. After the chaplain of the association, Rev. Dr. McKim, had invoked divine bles: ing the attention of all for the two hours that followed was directed to the discus- sicn of a sumptuous repast. When the coffee was served snd cigars had been passed around President Lewis announced the toasts and introduced the speakers, all of whem were continually interrupted by applause. ‘The day we celebrate,” “The artillery” and “The cavalry” were ably handled, respectively, by Messrs. John Goode, J. McDowell Carrington and Gen. A song by Mr. W. E. Mor- sell was well received, and then Repre- sentative H. W. Ogden of Loulsiana was called upon to respond to the toast, “The infantry.” Representative Ogden described at some length his desire at the beginning of the war to enter the cavalry, but added that he was compelled, finally, to join forces with the infantry. “That turn of affairs,” continued the speaker, “is re- sponsible for my presence here this even- ng.” Capt. H. B. Littlepage, who was an ofti- cer of the Merrimac at the time of the encounter between that ram and the Moni- tor, looked after “The navy.” He briefly outlined the growth, progress and suc- cess of the confederate navy and described in a graphic manner a trip of the steamer Arkansas through a double line of Union vessels. Capt. Littlepage eulogized the officers of the confederate navy who en- rolled their names on the scroll of fame in endeavoring to uphold the cause of the south. Honor to Corporal Tanner. Mr. Franklin H. Mackey of the District bar, but formerly of South Carolina, spoke of “Our Battle Flag,” concluding with a stirring, original poem, dedicated to the flag, which evoked much enthusiasm. “Corporal” Tanner was welcomed with three cheers as he arose to respond to “The American Soldier.” His remarks varied from the humorous to the pathetic, and were apparently greatly enjoyed. “The Women of the South’ were galtant- ly complimented by Representative Charles J. Boatner, and Mr. Benjamin $. Minor spoke for the “Sons of Confederate Vet- ans." A toast to “Our Dead Comrades” was drunk standing and in silence, and with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne” the celebration, one long to be remembered, was reluctantly brought to a close. The committee in charge of the affair consisted of George H. Ingraham, chair- man; C. C. Ivey, M. S. Thompson, J. D. Dodd, Franklin H. Mackey, J. H. Hobgood, J. W. Fite and Thomas ‘A. Howard. In addition to those mentioned, there were present Miss Drew, Miss Louise Suter, Miss Rose J. Scott, Mrs. Fite, George S. Donnell, Col. William E. Rodgers, Capt. Hugh Wad- dell, Col. William D. Peachy, John T. Cal- laghan, George H. Ingraham, Findlay Har- ris, Mr. and Mrs. Magnus Thompson, Dr. Buddath, Dr. Mitchell, Dr. Manning, A. G. Holland, Ed. Buckley, Miss Wilson, Mrs. Belt, Col. S.

The members of the Iron Brigade will erect a monument to its old commander, Gereral John Gibbon, who lies at Arling- ton. The design for the monument has just been completed by General E. 8. Bregg, the president of the Iron Brigade, and it is hoped that the cost of the shaft— between $1,200 and $1,500—will be raised in time to allow the unveiling ceremonies to take place next May. The regiments con- stituting this brigade were the 2d, 6th and 7th Wisconsin, the 19th Indiana’ and the 24th Michigan, together with Battery B. ‘The movement for this token was started at the St. Paul encampment, when there were many members of the Iron Brigade present, and since that time has received hearty support in every direction. The design is a low, solid block of Wis- consin granite, four side@, with a low cap, on the face of which is to be a bas relief of General Gibbon, and on the reverse ¢he iror: Maltese cross of tie brigade, with the narres of the five regiments and Battery B, which at different times constituted the brigede. On the face of the monument will be inscribed, “John Gibbon, brigadier gen- eral, U. 8S. A., and major general of volun- teers. 1827-1896.” On the reverse of the monument will be the following: “The Iron Brigade rears this block of Wisconsin gran- ite to the memory of a loved commande There are now about 700 members of this famous organization remaining, and each ore is working with all the spirit possible to advance the project and allow the mon- ument to be unveiled at the desired time. General Bragg will shortly prepare a cir- cular letter, which will be sent to every member of the brigade, stating the inten- tion of the association, and soliciting sub- seriptions for the monument, Eagle Brand BE op They Say His Architcrt is Opposed to Union Labor and He Gives the Matter No Consideration. ‘The regular weekiy mepting of the Build- ing Trades Council washeld last evening, President William Sllygt presiding, with Mr. J. M. Boyce as secretary. Nine trades were represented. Cfefentials were re- celved from the delegates of the Brick- layers’ Union and the delegates were ad- mitted. Delegate Healey of the contract comrmittee made a report relative to the Senaior Sherman contract for building a number of houses and read a copy of the now celebrated letter from the Bricklayers’ Union of Washington to the Bricklayers and Masons’ International Union, now in session at Worcester, Mass. He stated that there was evidently much misappre- hension as to the intention of the Erick- layers’ Union; that the letter explained itself; that the request’ of the union was perfectly legitimate and only in the in- terest of organized labor. The Bricklayers’ Letter. Following is a copy of the much-talked- of letter: : “Brothers: Senator John Sherman, who is a large owner of real estate in this city and who has invested largely in building construction, is now preparing for the erection of nine houses in the northeast- ern section of the city. “The central bodies, through the con- tract committee's ascertaining the fact, called cn Mr. Sherman and learned that the contract had been let to a builder who had sublet the brickwork to a notorious firm of non-union bricklayers. “It is evident that the firm secured the contract through the favor of Mr. Sher- man’s architect and agent, who is opposed to union labor. This matter has been brought to Mr. Sherman's attention, but he does not seem to regard the matter as deserving his consideration. “The matter being reported to the Ericklayers' Union, No. 1, Washington, D. C., it was considered of ‘such importance that the undersigned committee was in- structed to communicate with the Brick- layers and Masons’ International Union and respectfully request that your body officially request Mr. Sherman to recog- nize union labor in the present construc- Uon and also in the future. It is also re- quested that the delegates representing the unions in Ohio courteously remind the senaior of the desire of the union of the District. “A public official as prominent in the nation’s councils as Mr. Sherman, who should represent that better cl: of work- ing citizens who demand those industrial conditions which will secure to men oppor- tunities to labor and the largest reward for their toil, should desire to favor and patronize those who are organized to main- tain a principle which js declared to be cardinal by all political parties—the highest | remuneration of the wage workers of the country. “In he District of Columbia men are po- litteal aliens, and in instances such as cited the force of moras suasion and gentle reminder must come from those of our brotherhood who, having.;the ballot, can command respectful heaging. With frater- nal greeting, (Signed) William H. Maghan, J. B. Dowell, Milford, Spohn, John P. Healey, John Shanley.?7'"" It was the sense of dhe“touncil that the contract committee ofthe’ council should see Senator Sherman and request that in all future contracts he would provide for the employment of union. jabor. The Worcester ‘Resolutions, Information from tke Bricklayers and Masons’ International Unign convention at Worcester, Mass., received today, states that at the meeting of,the eonyéntion held there yesterday the request of the Brick- layers’ Union of Washiaptetr was compiicd with and the following preamble and res- olutions adopted: = 1°89 7TA “To the Honorable Joky,Sherman, Wash- ington, D.

C., has been award- ed to a contractor who has sublet the brick- work to a non-union firm of bricklayers, namely, Messrs. Grant & Myers of the Dis- trict of Columbia, therefore, be it “Resolved, That we, the delegates repre- senting the subordinate unions of the Bricklayers and Masons’ International Union, now in convention assembled, do most earnestly and respectfully petition you, as our konored senator of the great state of Ohio and representative of the People at large of our republic, that you annul or cause to be arnulled the contract for said work, so that it may be construct- ed by a contractor who will pay a fair rate ef wages and employ organized and unior labor id be it further “Res ed, That we respectfully request you, when contemplating any further con- struction of buildings, that you cause to have inserted in the contract and_specifi- cations for such work a clause stating that nene but union labor shall be employed on such construction.” Inauguration Contracts. A reply to the letter which was sent to Chairman C. J. Bell of the inaugural com- mittee relative to the construction of stands to be used during the parade on March 4 was read. This was as follows: “I am in receipt of yours of the 14th in- stant. In reply would state that the con- tracts fer the erection of the stands have already been given out by the chairman of committee in charge of that work. I have, eS er forwarded him your communica- tion.” ‘The resolutions adopted at the last meet- ing of the Central Labor Union protesting agairst the passage by Congress of the Cockrell resolution relative to enforced suspension of work by the Potomac Elec: tric Power Company in the matter of lay- ing conduits in some of the streets of Washingten were indorsed by a unanimous vote. A copy of these resolutions was pub- lished in The Star of yesterday. A committee of three, Messrs. William Maghan, Joseph A. Woodworth and G. W. Owens, was appointed to‘act with the com- mittee appointed for a similar purpose by the Central Labor Union, and the joint committee will today call at the Capitol and see the proper committee: there: in ref- erence to the objects: which the Central Labor Unicn and Building Trades Council are seeking to obtain jm this line. it was also the intentionlof the commit- tee, it was’ stated, tolrdquest President Gompers of the Amer; Federation of Labor to interest himséjf {n this matter. —— os COLTON TOOK BAGH: HIS RING. — els A Washington Youjhis Love Afatr Ends in a» Charge ef Burglary.

Penrose, Hansbrough, Piatt a: Jones of Arkansas Also Successful—Con- tests Still in Progress. Ex-Representative William E. Mason was nominated by acclamation for United States senator at the repub- lican joint caucus of the Mlinois leg- islature last night, after one of the most bitterly contested battles in the history of the republican parcy in Illinois. His choice was the result of the sudden withdrawal from the race of Representa- tuve William Lorimer, who had held the Senator-Elect Mason. almost solld vote of Chicago and Cook county. The contest had been so long drawn out and so fierce that the !egislators were in a mood to be stampeded, and as the hour for the gaucus drew near the sudden shifting of the Cook county forces to Mason car- ried the other candidates off their feet. Boies Penroxe Elected. Boies Penrose was elected a United States senator in place of J. Donald Camcron by the Pennsylvania legislature yesterday af- ternoon. But one’ republican vote was cast against him—that of Daniel F. Moore of Chester. Both houses voted separately. The vote in the house follows: Penrose, 188; Chauncey F. Black, York, 23; John Wanamaker, 1. Absent or not’ voting, 2. Moore's vote for Wanamaker was greeted with cheers, mingled with handclapping, hisses and cat calls. In the senate Senators Penrose and Mit- chell of Bradford were absent. The vote was as follows: Penrose, 42; Black, 6. Senator Hansbrough Re-Elected. Senator Hansbrough was re-elected United States senator by a total vote of 68 to 25, for W.A. Bentley, populist, in the North Dakota legislature. Utah, The first ballot in the Utah state legisla- ture for United States senator taken yes- terday afternoon resulted as follows: Thatcher, democrat, 19; Rawlins, democrat, 18; Henderson, democrat, 16; Lawrence, populist, 4; Brown, republican, 3; scatter- ing, 2. Necessary to choic The sup- porters of the three highest candidates are very determined, and a somewhat bitter feeling exists, especially between the Thatcher and Rawlins forces. Washington. The calculations of party managers were upset by the result of the first ballot for United States senator at yesterday's ses- ston of the Washington legislature. Judge Denny, republican, headed the list of nine- teen candidates, with a vote of 25, or iess than half the number necessary to elect. Both house and senate are split into fac- tions. South Dakota, ‘The two branches of the South Dakota legislature voted separately yesierday for United States senator without result. Pickler received the entire republican vote, 54, which is 10 less than a majority. The fusionist vote was divided as follows: Kyle, Loucks, 14; Plowman, 12; Goodykoontz, 5; Kellar, 2; Weeks, Kirk, 1. Idaho. Three ballots were taken in the Idaho legislature yesterday for United States s ator. The populists left Claggett and cen- tered on Walton. Dubois held the vote of the silver republicans, while the demo- crats favored Lewis and Nelson, populists, alternatively. The first two ballots gave Walton, 28; Duboi: Lew 16. The third stood: WajJton, 28; Dubois, Nelson, 16. No choice. Kansas. After taking twenty-four ballots last night for United States senator, the popu- lst caucus of the Kansas legislature ad- journed at midnight until today without making a choice. Senator Peffer and John W. Breidenthal, chairman ot the state or- ganization, are clearly out of the race, and the popular candidates are L. P. King of Cowley county, ex-Represeniative W. A. Harris of Linwood and Ed. C. Little of , ex-consul to Egypt. The last bal- night stood: King, 35; Harris, 32; 22; Breidenthal, 3; Peffer, 2; scat- 7. Most of the ‘ballots ‘gave the Liitle, tering, highest vote to King. It takes 54 votes to nominate. Arkansas, The Arkansas cenate and house bailoted separately for a United States senator yes- terday, with the result that James Jones, democrat, was re-elected by an over- whelming majority. The ten populists cast their votes for J. R. Sovereign and three republicans voted for General Powell Clay- ton. Conneeticut. Both houses of thé Connecticut general assembly by separate action yesterday re- elected Orville H. Platt United States sena- tor for six years from March 4, 1897. The vote in the senate was unanimous—24. In the house the vote was 196 to 24 for Joseph S. Sargent (dem.) of New Haven. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. ding Committees for the Coming Year Announced.

Leslie, one of the best- bt HE greatly increased price of cream of tartar, the _ chief ingredient of a pure baking powder, has in- duced some man to substitute burnt alum (which costs but 3 cts. a pound), largely or wholly in lieu thereof, making a very low cost but a very un- wholesome baking powder; and great efforts are made to foist these inferior powders upon consumers by the inducement of a lower price and by grossly false repre- sentations as to their ingredients and comparative value. Alum baking powders have been declared by the most competent authorities injurious to health. Therefore every precaution must be taken to keep them out of the house. They masquerade under many names, and new brands are continually appearing. It is safe to avoid all new brands. Baking powders that are sold either wholesale or retail at a lower price than Royal are almost invariably made from alum, and therefore not only inferior in_quality, but_positively dangerous to health. Consumers can be more certainly protected from alum baking powders, and make the wholesomeness of their food doubly sure, by rigidly refusing all sub- stitutes for Royal Baking Powder. The Royal is cer- tified by the Government and State chemists free from alum, absolutely pure, and superlative in leavening power. It is unwise to take chances by the use of other brands.
