THE Meeting of the Board of Directors to FIN the Vacancy. The board of directors of the Emergency Hospital will mest at 4 o'clock p.m. today to fill vacancies in the board caused by the expiration of the terms of several of the members. Under the present by-laws the directors who hold over will select the new members. There were rumors prevailing recently that several of the gen- tiemen who had been contributing mem- bers of the institution, under the clause formerly existing in the by-laws, but which was recently rescinded, allowing such members to vote for directors et the an- nual meeting. would present themselves at the meeting today and demand the same privilege. It was also declared that they would take legal measures if their demand was refused. It is not believed, how- ever, that any one will pursue this course, as the right of the board of directors to change the bylaws has been pronounced absolute by leading !2gal authorities. The chief interest in today’s meeting, therefore, centers around Dr. James Kerr and the question as to whether he will be elected as a director again or not. His term expires today. In case he is defeated, which is regarded as highly probabie, his connection with the institution will cease, as a physician, to be a member of the hos- pital staff, must be also a member of the board of directors. The newly organized board will meet immediately after the meeting, and the probabilities are that the oll system which originally goveraed ine institution will be readopted, and Dr. William P. Carr will be chosen surg2on-in-chief. An examinatiin of candidates for the positions of senior and junior assistant Surgeons at the hospital was held lust night, and was contacted by Drs. Wm. H. Hawkes, H. L. E. Johnson and E. L. Tomp- kins. The recent incum)ents of these posts were Dr. Turner, senicr assistant, who will become resident’ physiciin in place ¢f Dr. Lawrence, whose term expires today, and Dr. Hooe, junior assistant, who has re- signed. The caadidates who preseated themselves to be quizzed were Drs. Hutton, June m, Street, Dunn and McLaughlin, graduates of Columbian University; Dr. Johnson of Georgetown and Dr. Barr of the Indiana State Medical School. SS ees THE COURT ROOM PACKED. Large Crowd Present During the Closing Hours of the McEthone Case. The question of whether Philip McElhone is or is not guilty of stealing certain pa- pers from the ‘Peter Force collection in the Congressional Library between the Sth of last November and the 7th of February, will be decided not before late this after- noon, if then. As stated in The Star, the testimony in the case closed yesterday morning, the rest of the day being devoted to arguments on the proposed instructions to be submit- ted by Judge Bradley to the jury. After Judge Bradley had announced that the young defendant could be held to trial on but one of the three indictments, that charging him with the theft of United States property, Assistant District Attor- ney Laskey made the opening address to the jury on behalf of the government. Upon the conclusion of his remarks, the trial was adjourned until today. On behalf of McElhone, Messrs. Douglass and Shiilington respectively addressed the jury today until near 2 o'clock this after- neon, when District Attorney Davis com- ed the concluding argument in the McElhone’s counsel eloquently con- tended that of the alleged stolen papers but three were shown to have been in his ession, the roll of artiticers, the Cort- land commission and the William Williams letter. Those three papers, they submitted, the defendant had shown to have been in. neeently received by him from Turner, his co-defendant. While on one hand they In. sisted that there never was any conspiracy between the two young men, they referred to Turner as an accomplice, and begged the jury to piace no faith whatever in bis testimony. Mr. Davis’ address, listened to by a pack- ed court room, was an unusually effective one, and he argued that if the jury put aside all feelings of prejudice or partiality, deciding the case alone on the testimony, they could render but one verdict, that of guilty. District Attorney Davis was still Tris bode STS wae cl ‘ge 1 the conclusion of Mr. Davis’ and the case will then go to the jury. LATE NEWS BY WIRE Searching for Dead for Miles Around Guthrie. FARMERS - RECOVERING LIVE STOCK Thieves and Pillagers Looting the Wreckage. $< FLOODED DISTRICT IN THE GUTHRIE, Okla., April 30.—The Cotton- wood and Cimarron rivers are not yet within their banks and searching parties have gone out in boats and rafts to coast both banks for sixty miles from Guthrie, or farther if necessary, to search for the dead bodies knowr to have been carried down stream. Thieves and pillagers looted the wreck- age last night, entering many of the dis- mantied houses in the absence of their owners. Guards were placed everywhere porsible and there were threats of lynch- ing of any of the guilty ones, but none were caughi. No additional bodies have been recovered since last evening in the vicinity of Guth- rie. A man was reported floating down the Cimarron last night on a log, and a party has gone out to intercept him if possible. Farmers along the bank recovered a large amount of live stock and furniture and are gradually bringing order out of chacs. The destitute are being cared for in gcod shape and their sufferings have been materially ameliorated. THE SOUTHWESTERN FLOODS. Waters Receding in Oklahoma and Farmers Returning Home. EL RENO, Okla., April 30.—The flood of the North Canadian river is falling almost as rapidly as it rose, and this morning the water has so far receded from the bottoms that the farmers are returning to their homes. All bridges have been swept away, however, and, as the highways are prac- tically impassable, it will be some days before ordinary business can be resumed. There has been no railroad traffic in or out of this city since the flood. It is be- lieved that general wheat has not been injured by the excessive rains, but corn will mostly have to be replanted. Oats and potatoes are unhurt, except in places where the floods washed away the soil. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., April 30.— Owing to washouts and destruction of bridges by floods, neither the Santa Fe nor the Choctaw railroad has run any mail trains into or out of the city during the past sixty hours. Both roads promise to resume traffic on Sunday next. On the Lower Mississippi. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 30.—The river is 19.4, but the highest water is still far off, and the engineers predict that from 20 to 21 feet will be reached. There was a third break in the Buras levee, near the gulf, but all are being leisurely closed. Up at Bayou Des Glares, in the Atchafalaya district, there were two small breaks, but they were closed with wonderful rapidity. These were the only real openings in the levee line. But there were other events more serious. The levee in front of the telegraph office at Gouldsboro, the Texas and Pacific ter- minal across the river, sloughed and cracked and looked like it did not have an- other day's existence. The railroad forces went to work at once, built a wooden breakwater in front and filled in behind, and by night It was comparatively safe. But the place ts not solid and work will be resumed today. A crevasse there would inundate the three towns of Gretna, Gouldsboro and Algiers; the residents not only helped yesterday, but arranged for an alarm signal, which would send the whole population to the rescue. There are a number of cther low and weak spots on the La Fourche board side and the levee and railroad officials and Capt. Derby of the United States en- gineers. made a tour of the line and decided to raise the entire system three feet, the government forces going to work today. On this side of the river the Pontchai train supply train has been going from 5 in the morning until 7 o'clock at nigh:, nswering the many calls for help. The Planters are more than awake and work is going on in every direction. The situa- ticn on Bayou La Fourche has once more become sertous. Upper Missourl and Mississippi. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 30.—The river gauge registered 29.9 feet today, just one- tenth below the danger line, a rise of 1.2 feet during the twenty-four hours. Points above here, on both the Missis- sippi and Missour! rivers, show a decline, but Local Forecaster Frankenfield says that ‘the rise will continue here until to- mcrrow morning, when the gauge will show 30.5 feet of water. For a day or two the river here will remain stationary. The Missour! will fall slowly, and the upper Mississippi will fall, except at Clarksville, south to where a further slight rise will occur today. — WORKINGWOMEN’S CLUBS. Organization Was the Principal Topic of Discussion. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 30.—Tcday's session of the convention of workingwom- en’s clubs was devoted almost wholly to the discussion of the sub§ect of club or- Sanization. A number of paper3 reviewing the subject from various points of view were Tead. “Successes and Failures of Club Life” Was the title of a composite paper from Massachusetis. ‘Men and Women in Club Life” was pre- sented by Mrs. Henry Ollesheimer of New York. Hartford, Conn., clubs presented a paper on “Inside Organizations and Civie Rela- tions in the Club.”” “Self Support” was read by Miss M. B. Chapin of the Steadfast Club of New York, and a@ paper entitled “Two Inner Circles,” prepared by Miss Grace H. Dodge of York, was read by another delegata Among others who real papers or par- ticlpated in the discussion were Miss 8. D. Lowrie, Miss Effingham Perot, Mrs. Kirk- Lride and Miss L. N. Platt of Philadelphia, Miss Irene Tracy of New York, Mrs, Scs- ns of Brooklyn and Miss Sanford of Troy, N. Y. ee PROPOSED CUBAN REFORMS, Outline of the Plan Approved by the Queen Regent. The announcement from Madrid that the queen regent has signed a decree applying the reform laws to Cuba is considered by officials here as a realization of the plans under negotiation for many months to give Cuba an autonomous form of government, or home rule. The home rule plan about to be applied was made public in detail by THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1897-16 PAGES. STREET LIGHTING BIDS|FINANCE AND TRADE The United States Underbids the Riva}. Company if a Stipulation Pro- posed is Agreed To. This was the day set aside by the Com- missioners for the opening of bids for light- ing the streets, avenues and alleys of the city for the next fiscal year. A goodly num- ber of interested bidders were present, and Participated in the big surprise sprung by the United States Electric Lighting Com- pany in outbidding its rival, the Potomac Electric Company, for lighting the city by electricity, and going into the field occu- Pied by the latter company and offering to Ught the lamps lighted by it at a much re- duced price. This last bid, however, being centingent upon the grant by the Commis- sioners to the United States Electric Light- ing Company of the right to occupy and use the duct set aside in the conduit of the Potomac Electric Company for the use of the District. Proceedings of the Bonrd. e board met promptly at noon, and CWairman Lakenan opened the proeeedings by reading the advertisement setting forth the purpose of the Commissioners to award @ contract for lighting the city. The first bid opened was that of the Washington Lighting Compan >» and was for 1,000 naphtha lamps, which it agreed to furnish at $15.80 per lamp per annum. The Pennsylvania Globe Company also submitted a bid of $20 per lamp per annum for 1,000 lamps to be lighted by naphtha. Both gas companies bid, but they were the same as of yore, $20 per lamp per an- Next came the bid for incandescent light- ing, the only bid received being from the Potomac Electric Power Company, which bid $20 per lamp per annum. There are orly a small number of these lamps in ser- vice, and they are west of Rock Creek. Scme one remarked that the Potomac company was going to have a walkover, and this remark seemed to be strengthened by the reading of the next bid, which was alzo from the Potomac company, by which it agreed to light ali existing Iam; ei of Hock Creek at 25 cents per lamp per annum, and do the same with those lamps west of Reck creek. ‘This was a low bid, and those who remembered the fight of last year between the rival companies pre- dicted more hostilities, The Surprise Comes. Then came the surprise. President Thcmas sat at one end of the room, wear- ing a self-satisfied smile when the bid of nis company, the United States Electric Company, was opened. ‘The first sentence of the bid was a bomb. He agreed to light all existing electric lamps in the city of Washington at $91.25 per annum. The next prcposal carried him into the camp of the enemy across Rock creek. Here he proposed to light the streets now lighted by arc lamps, in which the United States Company hes conduits, for $25 per lamp per year, and to put up and maintain the twenty-four additional arc lamps now light- ed by the Potomac company for $20 per lamp per annum. The next bid that he submitted was char- acterized by one of the bidders as “a nervy bid.” He mentioned In detail_all the lamps now lighted and maintained “by the Poto- mac Electric Power Company c.st of Rock creek, and agreed to lignt them for $20 per year each. ‘The bid of the Potomac Company is 25 cents per lamp per year for these lamps, which amounts to $01.25 per annum, a difference in favor of the United States ‘Company of $71.25. A Clause That Promises Contest. There Is a stipulation, however, «ttached to this bid, over which there promises to be a wordy war. President Thomas says in ending: “That the Commissioners of the District ef Columbia shall furnish to the United States lectric Lighting Company duct room free of charge in the conduits now laid by the Potomac Eleciri: Power Com- pany, and which are understood by the United States Electric Lighting Company to be under control of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and reserved in a certain contract with the Potomac Electric Power Company for the ‘ise of the District of Columbia for the placing therein of any electric cable to be used for public serv —_—-- SEARCHING FOR SCOTT. The Alleged Murderer Believed to Be in This Vicinity. ‘The police of the elghth precinct who are on duty in the county are making a search of Rock Creek Park and the woods in the vicinity of Pierce's mill this afterncon, be- cause of a report that a colored man aa- swering the description of John, alias “Bird,” Scott, the fugitive murderer from Baltimore county, has been seen there. Capt. Crockett of the Baltimore county police has been here this week looking for the fugitive, and Detective Rhodes has been assisting him in the search. ‘The Marylard officer had recetved information that the fugitive was here in this city, but failing to apprehend him, he returned home yesterday. Some time yesterday afternoon an engineer on an outgoing train called to a policeman at Brookland, ard gave him seme information concerning a murder, and told him that the man had jumped off the train between Brookland and Terra Satie upon this information Policeman Yetton arrested an unknown white man on suspicion and afterward released him. Today a colored man answering the de- scription of Scott got off a train at Terra Cotta, and was last seen going in the di- rection of Pierce’s Mills. As soon as this information reached the police, the mount- ed officers were notified, and they went in search of tne man. Tiere is a reward of $250 offered for his arrest, and it is tho.ght likely that some of the Maryland officers will reach here this afternoon to Join in the pursuit. An Arrest This Afternoon. This afternoon one of the officers of the ninth precinct arrested a colored man on suspicion of being the alleged murderer. ‘The prisoner gave his name as Davis, and said he belonged in North Carolina. He an- swered to the description of the man want- ed, and Inspector Hollinberger has notified the Maryland authorities to come here and identity him. —_.—_—_ The Case Continued. Hearing of the charge of perjury pre- ferred against Col. Willlam P. Wood by Mrs. Mary A. Smith was, in the Police Court today, continued until Wednesday next. Se EES Baltimore Markets.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, April 30.—Stagnation and indecision were the dominant characteris- tics of today’s stock market. Foreign houses lacked business, and the tendency of commission house activity was not in the direction of improvement. The coal shares were weak under selling by conservative interests, the decline being limited by the narrowness of the market and not by legitimate support. Rumors of an unsatisfactory mecting of the coal interests late yesterday, afternoon accompanied the sélling, but lacked cor-fir- mation. The higher prited numbers of this éroup of securities were especially weak. The general market ruled steady for a time, slightly under last night's closing parity, but subsequently ylelded to liberal engagements of goid. The total amount taken for expert by tomorrow's steamers aggregates $4,000,600. The international issues were sold by traders on the prospect of a continuation of the outflow. The market for foreign er- change continues to reflect the scarcity of bills, and « more urgent demand could only be met by the actual shipment of cola. The practical disregard of the outward movement among leading financiers does not extend to the small investor, and con- sequently confidence fails to assume pro- portions warranting material results. The bulk of the daily transactions rep- resent room operations, and neither ac- count inspires more than temporary in- dorsement. The market is in a state of equilibrium and would respond easily to azeressiveness in either direction. The street is well filled with optimistic ferecasts, but the uncertainties of tariff legislation invariably operate against their fulfillment. Under such conditions dullness seems reasonably sure to prevail, and mod- erate concessions are not unlikely. American Sugar was given good support throughout the day on the prospects of satisfactory tariff legislation. The dealings in these shares fall to assume significant Proportions, however, as the more con- servative operators attach considerable im- portance to evidences of hostilities on the floor of the Senate. ‘The committee’s recommendation will find immediate reflection in the market price of the stock, but no sustained movement is likely to follow a mere recommendation. The company is said to have loaned the city $3,000,000 from its surplus at 3 per cent interest. On this rumor traders bought the stock during the final hour. Western Union continues to !oan at a premium, but the size of the short interest is believed have been overestimated. The decision in the Bell telephone patent cases i8 expécted to throw some light on the recént weakness in the shares of the Telegraph Ccntpany. Tradims durmg the lest hour was un- changed in cusracter, but was fractionally above the day's lowest level. The cusiomary evening up of contracts at the close of tae week supplied the incen- tive to,,this fipal trading. r “ ae FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
