The case has been reported to the police and the officers are locking for him. ‘The Virginia Democratic Association held a meeting last night and adopted resolu- tions urging democrats in Virginia to se- lect only free silver candidates who in- dorse the Chicago platform for governor, eutenant governor and attorney general. The Woman's Army and Navy League is in want of books, magazmes and especially beoks for children. Donations may be sent te 1620 P street northwest. Recent rains have been followed by un- usually large crops of mushrooms in the fields and lowlands about the Eastern branch. This has resulted in a harvest for the scores of colored women who gather them for market. One of the mushroom hunters brought in nearly a bushel yes- terday, among them being one that weigh- ed nearly twelve ounces. Miss Mary V. Powers of Martinsburg, W. Va., was in the city doing some shop- ping yesterday, and during the afternoon she discovered that she had deen robbed. Her pocketbook, containing $20, a gold stud, a silver collar button and a railroad ticket from Martinsburg to Inwood, was taken. She reported her loss to the police, and the detectives are now looking for the thief. Although the river is in a muddy condi- tion, there were some large white perch caught at Four Mile Run yesterday. These fish rise to the surface of the water in quest of minnows, said one of the lucky anglers, and the muddy water only lessens the number caught. Several black bass rave been taken there this week, but these Were marked and returned to the water. Several of those marked were caught a second time. The Wilhelm bicycle found on the street Wednesday night was claimed yesterday by its owner. He reported that the wheel had been taken from the sidewalk in front of his house. The police found it where it had been abandoned. “Want” ads. in ‘The Star pay because they bring answers. Miss Opal. Le Baron McGauhey of Tos Angeles, Cal., has left for. Topeka, Kan., where she willl remain for the summer. Miss McGauhey favored Washington au- diences on various occasions with her: fin- anew recitations, which were much ad- n.ired. Mr. E. A. Moseley and Mr. M. S. Decker, secretary and assistant secretary, respec- tively, of the interstate commerce commis- sion, today returned from St. Louis, where they attended the annual convention of the national board of railroad commissioners, which met in that city this week. This morning about 12:30 &clock Police- men Bryarly and McGrath found the win- dow of the National Mortar Company's building, on South Capitol street, open. The condition of the window indicated to their minds that a robbery had been com- mitted, and they made a search of the premises, but there was no robber found. Later in the morning, when one of the company’s employes was found, he made an investigation, which resulted in the dis- covery that a bag of oats and a bag of corn had been taken. a WILL DE NO DUEL. Gen. McCook Says He May Seek Satin- faction -in Another Way. The Logan-McCook controversy becomes daily more ridiculous as additional devel- opments come to light. Gen. Alex. McD. McCook, who is now in New York, is quoted in an interview as saying that he has not received Mr. Lo- gan’s letter. He scouts the idea of a duel with Mr. Logan, but intimates that he may seek “satisfaction” in some other way. He denies circulating the rumors of which Mr. Logan complains, and this would seem to leave the whole question as a matter of veracity between Gen. Mc- Cook and Mr. Logan's informant. Col. John J. McCook did not take the matter so philosophically as his brother, and showed considerabie temper at the .tenor of the Logan letter. Other Americans who were present at the coronation of the czar add their tes- timony to the current gossip, all of which goes to show that there was an unusual amount of jealousy and rivalry among the Americans present at the ceremonies, and that the majority of them succeeded’ only in making themselves supremely ridicu- lous. There are accounts of dress rehearsals for receptions, awkward masquerading in borrowed and purchased toggery of royalty and nobility, and altogether a pot pourri of gossip concerning the exploits of rich aspiring Americans which is scarcely cal- culated to raise them in the estimation of their countrymen. The wife of a rich Chicago hotelkeeper is represented as wearing at a reception @ second-hand crown purchased from ex- Empress Eugente at a cost of $25,000, and stubbing her toe and dropping it from her head as she made her bow to her royal ost. Another eyewitness recounts that Mr. Logan wore the uniform of a colonel of United States cavalry instead of that of the Ohio National Guard, and that other regular army officers protested against suth action, and that these protests led up to the present difficulty. Still another insists that the whole trou- ble came up through the jealousy of some rich New York society people who aspired to outshine all others at the Russian capi- tal, and who were left in the shade by the resplendent appearance presented by the handsome Mr. Logan, who was taken by many to be the very biggest military functionary in all America.

Contract Awarded to the Potomac Electric Power Company. Gen. Wilscn, chief of efigineers, award- ed the contract for lighting with arc elec- tric lights (thirty-two lamps, in all), Lafay- ette, Franklin, Judiciaty “and Lincoln parks to the Potomac Eléctrit Power Com- pany. ‘This action was based on the recommendation of Col. Bingham, commis- sioner of public buildings: and‘grounds, and in view of the belief that ther course was possible under the Jaw. The lowest bid received for Jighting three of the parks mentionetl;\ vis., Lafayette, Franklin and Judiciary farks; was that of the United States Electftc Tjghting Com- pany, which company fd ‘fot, however, submit a bld for lighting Iincoln Park, doubtless owing to the fact ‘that its con- duits do not extend to that, park. It Is furthermore’ stated that’ thig "company has no conduits within the jet of the three parks it proposed’to Nght &t the rate of $10 per lamp per afinum.

The Police Court this morning might easily have been mistaken for the hall of the House of Representatives, owing to the gathering of congressmen there. Among the statesmen present were Representa- tives Sayers, Burke and Cooper of Texas, Adamson, Tate and Livingston of Georgia, Henry of Mississippl and Berry of Ken- tucky, while others were arriving at short intervals. The meeting was in the nature of an extraordinary session, for the con- gressman had been summoned as wit- nesses to prosecute a young man, well dressed and of eminently respectable ap- pearance, named Hugh C. Howard, against whom an information had been filed, set- ting forth vagrancy. As has been stated in The Star, Howard Was arrested late yesterday afternoon by Policeman Sinnott of the Capitol police force, on complaint of a large number of representatives, Howard having been hanging about the Capitol for several weeks, it is claimed, engaged in fleecing the distinguished gentlemen. His plan was to claim to be related to some prominent Texan, and then tell a hard-luck story, in the hope of obtaining money. His scheme Was usually successful. Howard will not be prosecuted, however, the representatives who visited the Police Court. assuring Prosecuting Attorney Pugh that they did not carg to appear against him. He ts said to be a member of a prom- Inent Texas family, and is a victim of the morphine habit. One of the complainants agreed to take steps. to send. Howard to his heme, and the prosecuting attorney con- tinued the case until Thursday next. The young man will be committed to jail until that time, when a release is to be ordered “for want of prosecution. eS ITS ANNUAL BANQUET. Calvary Baptist Sunday School In- dulges in Festivities.
