A K. OF L. VICTORY What Mr. Hayes Has Succeeded in Accom- plishing for the Order, Return of District Assembly No. 3 of Pittsburg, the Backbone of the Independent Order. General Secretary Treasurer John W. Hayes of the Knights of Labor, who re- turned Saturday night from a trip to Pitts- burg, succeeded during his absence from Washington in accomplishing one of the greatest victories in the history of the order. = This was the settlement of a fight which has lasted for about three years between the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor and District Assembly, No. 3, In- dependent Order, Knights of Labor. The action produced by Mr. Hayes’ efforts re- sulted in an addition to the Knights of Labor of 20,000 members,and, it is said, the wiping out of existence of the Independent Order Knights of Labor, which has been a source of considerable annoyance to the general officers in this city. In speaking of the matter this morning at his office In this city Mr. Hayes said to a Star reporter: “District Assembly, No. of Pittsburg was suspended from the Knights of Labor at the New Orleans con- vention in November, 1895, because the assembly refused to obey orders concerning the Brewer Workers’ Local 92. Three lccals. the cigar makers, theatrical me- chanics and toby makers, deserted Dis- trict_Assembly, No. 3, and remained in the Knights cf Labor, while the remaining locals of the district joined the Independent Orcer, with headquarters at Tiffin, Ohio. he Pittsburg assembiy was the back- bone of the Independent Order. The latter expired November 22, 1896, but its demise was kept a secret for several months. Neil McFarland, district master workman, im- mediately opened negotiations with the parent body for the reinstatement of the assembly. The locals comprising the dis- trict assembly voted to rejoin the parent body, and it remained only for the dcle- ates to the quarterly district convention to ratify the vote to make the step legal, which was done at a meeting of the as- sembly in Pittsburg Friday. No conditions were attached to the re- admission of the Pittsburg district, and it will continue in the same line as for- merly and will gain in membership, as the cigar makers, the oldest local in Pittsburg; toby makers and the theatrical mechanics vill be affiliated with the district assembly, as well as all new locals organizing within a radius of fifty miles of Pittsburg. “The locals comprising District Assembly 2 are two locals of traction employes, brew- ery workers, a large number also of team- sters. salesmen, coopers, pavers and ram- breom makers, and a mixed local. Efforts will be made to regain many of the iccals which were lost to the order through the strikes and other disturbances.” uing,Mr. Hayes said: “The Knights of Labor organization is stronger today than it has been for years. The New York Central railroad strike. the Missouri Pacific strike and other big strikes throughout the country took away many of our members ard served to partially disintegrate the order. It took a lot of hard work to place the blame where it belonged and reorgan- ize the men. During the disintegration reriod the main assemblies have main- tained eir organizations, and in some in- stances increased instead of decreased. Af- ter it had been proven that my accounts were all right the work of reorganization began that has increased so rapidly that during the past year alone the membership has been doubled. “Last week District 30 of Boston, num- bering between 9,000 and 10,000 members, was reinstated. This assembly lost its membership in the national body through internal dissessions. District No. 5, com- posed of southern miners, will be represent- ed by three delegates this year in the na- tional convention at Louisville, in Novem- ber next. Last year it had no delegate. District S1 of North Carolina has doubled its membership. New districts have been organized in Iowa. Michigan and Indiana. Last year only fifty-nine delegates were seated in the general assembly, while today mcre than one hundred delegates will be entitled to seats, meaning that the order has gained more than 5,000 members in the past year.” _ Broke Window: Palmer Cox was in evidence today in the Pelice Court, or at least the spectators thought that his familiar character, the fat Brownie, had suddenly 1ppeared when Frank Anikim was arraigned for destroy- ing private property. This impression was strengthened mightily when the clerk cail- ed “P. Cox,” to summon the policeman who made the arrest. The supposed Brownie wes a white boy and the specific charge against him was smashing a glass in the coor of Moy Sing’s laundry, on H street. Some thought that the window might have been broken dur- ing one of the characteristic midnight revels of the boisterous Brownie band, but several witnesses testified that the de- fendant was alone at the time of the oc- currence and that the glass was broken by a stone thrown by him. “Five dollars fine,” ruled the court, and The Star reporter looked up half expecting to see all the Brcwnies pour in through the dcorways and windows to rescue their comrade. The fine was promptly paid, so an onslaught was unneces- ee Lively Crap Game. According to Policeman Reith, a decided- ly healthy crap game was in progress in an alley in the rear of P street yesterday when most folks of Christian tendencies were in attendance at Divine worship. In passing through the alley the policeman came full against the bone-rolling engage- ment, so to speak, and after the manner of an octopus, stretched out his arms and Srasped firmly Charles Jackson, William Davis, Edward Clark, George Taylor, Tony Brooks and Joseph Washington, gmall coi- ored boys. \ “I wasn’t there, jedge, ‘deed I ‘wasn’t,” said Jackson, betweeen weeps, when the party was arraigned today before Judge Kimball in the Police Court for disorderly conduct. “I wasn’t, neither,” declared Davis, and that was the plea of the remainder of the defendants. The grandmother of Washington, an old colored woman of the plantation type, ask- €d permission to say a word. *“Lemme tell yer, jedge,” she began pomp- ously, “if dat boy Joe Wash’tun took any part in any crap game I'd whop him till he couldn't stand on his laigs, dat I would, and dey wouldn't be no necessity for bringin’ him to co’t.” “Is there any mistake about the iden- tity of these boys,” asked the court of the policeman. “Absolutely none, sir.” “On account of ‘the youth of these de- fendants,” then said the court, “I shall make the fine half the usual amount. “Ten dollars each.” “Step back, all of you,” said a bailiff, con- cluding the proceedings. —_. —___ Army of Tramps, “With the approach of warm weather you men begin a migration north, similar to the one from north to south that occurs in the fall,” remarked Judge Kimball to- day in the Police Court, addressing him- self to several men arraigned as vagrants. “It seems that you all make a point of stopping off in this city. Sooner or later you will realize that a visit to Washington is worse than conjact with a bumblebee.” Charles Vilhelm, William Moore and Shirley Hill were arrested in a bunch on 14th street by Policeman Marshall. Hill produced papers to show that he has been employed in another city, and, promising to leave town within sixty minutes, was released on his personal bonds. Vilhelm and Moore were not so fortunate, being required to work for the District, for board and keep at the workhouse, for ten days to come. Policeman Marshall was also responsible for the appearance of Fred Austin and Harry Smith in court. They wanted a chance to leave town, but the court thought that ten days in the workhouse = just dues. “This man is one of our regulars,” ‘said the court, when Thomas Keller, a young white man, was arraigned. “Is it the same old trouble, drunkenness?" “Yes, sir.” How does he plead?” “Guilty.” “Bixty days.” AMUSEMENTS. Bronislaw Huberman.—Bronislaw Huber- man, who was heard by the public in this city, and not many of the public, either, at the Columbia Theater last night, is a won- der. Very few juvenile prodigies ever amouut to much, but it is hoped that he will be one of the exceptions. Theresa Ca- reno is ore. As a child she was a remark- able ptanist, and she has developed into the foremost female virtuoso in the world. Huberman is remarkable not only for his technique, his perfect command of himself and his violin, but for the breadth of his musical intelligence and his power of inter- pretation. He stands before his audience a boy of, say, sixteen, in knickerbockers, with an uncatny expression on his face, which is emphasized by a profusion of black hair, rebellious of systematic ar- rangement, but his playing is that of a matured musician. His bowing is firm and graceful, his tone full and true and his ex- ecution remarkable in every respect. His opening number, Bruch’s G Minor Concer- to, was performed in a masterly manner, and stamped the boy at the outset as justi- fying all the praise that had been bestowed on his playing elsewhere. In the Wagner Romance he wes, perhaps, more satisfy- ing to the non-technical portion of the audience, but his interpretation of Sara- sate’s ‘Witches’ Dance,” with which the concert closed, created such a furore that the people refused to leave the theater, and continued to applaud until, after bow- ing his acknowledgments again and again, the boy returned with his violin and played “Schumann's familiar ‘’Traumerie” in the most exquisite manner. It is a matter of regret that the audience was not larger in numbers, for Huberman is really a ge- nius, surpassing in the early maturity of bis powers even the Hcffman boy pianist who created such a furore here a few years ago. It is to be hoped that another oppor- tunity of hearing him may be given, at which the prices shall not be placed at so high a figure. Miss Heyman proved an excellent pianist, each one of her numbers being encored, and Mr. Simmons was a thoroughly effi- cient accompanist. Grand Opera House.—There will be no performance at the Grand Opera House this week, owing to the fact that the “Cuba's Vow" company, which was to have commenced an engagement there to- right, is stranded in New York. Next week “Fabic Romani” will be presented. pale eae TAKEN TO HIS HOME. Last Resting Place of the Late Rep- resentative Holman. Brief funeral services were held at the residence of the late Representative Wil- liam S. Holman previous to their removal from Washington Saturday afternoon, prayer being offered by Rev. Dr. Henry N. Couden, chaplain of the House. Many handsome floral offerings sent by friends were placed upon the casket. One of those most appreciated by the surviving members of Mr. Holman’s family was a piece sent by the messengers on the old soldiers’ roll at the House. These men were especially attached to Mr. Holman on account of ef- forts in their behalf by him. The train bearing the remains of the dead statesman left the Baltimore and Ohio sta- tion in Washington at 3:40 o'clock. Besides the family the cortege consisted of the members of the committee appointed by Speaker Reeed, and comprising Messrs. Mc- Millin, Alexander, Crumpacker, Ellis, Brom- well, Danforth, Robinson of Indiana, Zenor, Stark, Bland and De Armond. Upon reaching Cincinnati yesterday morning the train was met by a commit- tee of citizens of Aurora, Ind., who accom- panied the party to Aurora. It was here that Mr. Holman was born in 1823, and where he lived throughout his entire long life. When the train reached Aurora the body was taken to the First Baptist Church —an immense crowd of citizens following— when, after lying in state for several hours, the remains were conveyed to the Holman residence, where the funeral services were held. The interment was made in Riverside cemetery. =e Elected Secretary. The election Saturday for secretary of Co- lumbia Typographical Union, to fill the va- cancy caused by the resignation of Mr. C. M. Robinson, the latter having accepted the position of chief proof reader in the government printing office, resulted in the election of Mr. William M. Garrett by a majcrity of 128 over both his competitors, Messrs. W. W. Maloney, who has been sec- retary pro tem. for several weeks past, and Mr. E. B. Kelly. The returns showed that the vartous chapels cast 1,212 votes, of which Mr. Gar- rett received 670, Mr. Maloney, 479, and Mr. Kelly 45. The new secretary is a native of Washington and is about thirty-five years of age. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and holds a number of positions of responsibility in the various organiza- tions with which he is connected. aS If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

Mel- bourne, John W. Ryan, Charles Vermill‘on and Daniel Reiff were arraigned for tres- passing on the flats. Policeman Burlingame explained that the men were disorderly on the flats, and the court imposed a fine of $10 on Vermillion and $5 on Melbourne and Ryan. Reiff for- feited collateral. ————— Two Fires. Last night’s wind storm was of short dvration, but it caused two fires, which re- sulted in the destructicn of more than $200 worth of property. In each case the fire was caused by the lace curtains being blown against a gas jet. One fire oceurred at the house of W. P. Wilkins, No. 1906 9th street northwest, where the damage amounted to about $200, while the other happencd at the home of J. M. Dunn, No. 1324 Sth street northwest. Mr. Dunn's loss emounted to about $20. NEW CHINESE MINISTER He and His Suite Are-Mow at the Arlington Hotel. Will Cali on the Bresident sent His Creéemt in thefWeek. a Pre- Later The new Chinesel/ Minister, Wu Ting Fang, and his retinue arrived here Satur- day evening, and wexe quartered at the Ar- lington. The party comprises Minister and Mme. Wu and their iittle son, Ti Wen; Mr. and Mrs. Sheu—Mr. Sheu will be first secretary of legation—Mr. and Mrs. Ho and Mr. Chou, Mr. Shon Ting. Mr. Shon was here with Minister Yang Yu when he first came to Washington, and spent some time as s1 retary of legation. He will only remain a few days, as he is to join the Chinese lega- ticn in Spain. Mr. Chou is another mem- ber of the party. He comes from a very wealthy family, and is a scholar of rare ability. He has come to America for the purpose of study and travel. There are tifteen other gentlemen of the retinue, be- sides the ladies and their maids, the chil- dren, and the servants; but most of them will go in a short time to their positions in the Chinese legations in Spain, Peru, er Cuba. Minister Wu comes from Hongkong, and belongs to the province of Kwonglung. He was born in Hongkong and received his early education there, but took his col- legiate course in England, where he was niade a barrister at law. He returned to China and soon made a record for hirnself as a lawyer, and later was made a mem- ber of the legislative council in Hongkong. He afterward received the appointment from the Emperor of China of police mag- istrate for the district of Hongkong, which is a position of great honor, and he filled it with such distinction that he was in- vited to become legal advisor to the gov- ernment. In connection with this last po- sition he has been the director of the im- perial railway of north China. He figured prominently in the peace negotiations with Japan, and also in the making of che last commercial relations between that country and China. In recognition cf the valuable service he had given his govern. ment in this last transaction he was ap- pointed minister to Washington. Minister Yang Yu will not leave until next month. In the meantime Minister Wu and his suite will remain at the Arl- ington. The minister remained in his rooms at the Arlington all day yesterday, and mem- bers of his suite lounged about the hotel or took short strolls. The minister had con- templated visiting New York to witness the Grant monument ceremonies, but as his predecessor, Minister Yang Yu, had not expected his successor to arrive ‘so soon, he accepted the invitation to attend as the representative of China, and, with a part of his suite, left for New York today. Upon his return the seals of his office will he turned over to Minister Wu, who will at once assume the duttes of his office, and make an official call upon President Mc- Kinley to present his credentials. —S Anniversary Celebrated. The celebration of the seventy-eighth an- niversary of the institution of Odd Fellow- ship in the District of Columbia began this afternoon with a parade of the Grand Can- ton and Canton Potomag, with members of cther lodges participating. The assembly was at: Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 7th street northwest, and under com- mand of Capt. J. A.-Shackleford, dey ment commander, ahd (headed by the band of Canton Potomac the paraders went to the Baltimore and Ohto railroad - depot, where they received about 100 visiting Odi Fellows of Baltimore, Leaving the depot,the:procession marched by way of C and Ist streets to Pennsyl- vania avenue, and a®ifar west as 17th, and turned to Odd Fellows’ Hall py way of H, th, F and 7th streets.

The Best Patents Submitted to John Wedderburn & Co Prizes were awarded by John Wedder- burn & Co. Saturday night for the most valuable inventions submitted to that firm by its clients during the past month. The award took place at the firm's offices, 6t8 F street northwest. The first prize, $150 cash, was awarded to A. M. Tyler of Rich- mond. Va., for a sesh lock, and the second, a gold medal, was presented to J. N. Brown of Muskegon, Mich., for an improvement on the graphophone. These two prizes are awarded monthly by the firm of John Wedderburn & Co. to the inventor submitting the designs of the simplest, most useful and ingenious devices among the applicants for patents during the previous month. The award is made a board, consisting of U.S. Senator Wm. M. Stewart of Nevada, Representative Claude A, Swanson of Virginia, Arthur C. Moses of the firm of W. B. Moses’ Sons, Fred. E. Woodward of Wocdward & Lothrop, and John ©. Eckloff, cashier of the Second Na- tional Bank. Examiners for the firm se- lect a number of the best inventions which have been submitted by inventors, and ex- plain the technical details to the members of the board. The board then go into ex ecutive session and consider the various inventions from the standpoint of common utility ard comm:rcial werth. Their v-rJict is that of business men considering the in- vention from its commercial value, rather than on the technical or mechanical ingenu- ity displayed in its design. The special examiners of the firm who have had charge of the various inventions which were entered in competition for the chief prize act the part of special pleaders to a jury consisting of the board of award. They bring out all the strong points of the invention, explaining all the details of its work in practice. After the board com- pleted its work Saturday night all the Buests of the firm were invited to supper, and the balance of the evening was spent socially. One cf the galleries ordinarily occupied by a force of clerks at the firm's readquarters was occupied by the United States Marine Band, which furnished music during the evening, a feature of their selec- tions being the “National Recorder March. * ‘The attendance at the monthly award included many men distinguished in the world of patent law and a number of mem- bers of both branches of Congress. —_.
