These assemblies are attended by from 20,000 to 30,000 teachers and friends, and it s confidently expected that 40,000 vis- tors would come to Washington. The board of school trustees will take up the matter first, after which the board of trade is expected to act, and the Commis- sioners then will be asked to extend the formal invitation. This year the assembly meets at Milwaukee and in 1900 it goes to Paris. Arrangements are being made to take out a big delegation from this city to Milwaukee to extend the invitation. Dr. Whitman, Superintendent Powell. Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, Mrs. Spencer and many others will be in the delegation. Mr. J.

Prosecution such es that of ler Booth-Tucker in New York city by some of the neighbors of the Salvation Army headquarters, because of the band music at meetings held in the hall, are rarer as the spirit and work of the army become better appreciated.

But unfortu- nately for the local authorities, a jury in the Crirairal Court acquitted his alleged accomplices, and it is believed to be use- less to send to Providence to bring Demp- sey here. “Billy” Williams, who would have been the principal witnats peainst Dempsey, has been arrested since the acquittal of the other men alleged tozhave participated in the crime, and he is}now serving time for highway robbery: Se “Jack penver rs PS Bishop Whipple of Minnesota will preach | rest was known : jought by the in Salisbury Cathedral June 3, commemo- | Pclice to bave’ asst; in blowing ‘open rating the 1,200th anniversary of the bap- | 8efes in Georgetown and bt Clark’s saloon, tHe mian under ar- JOHN GIBSON’S FUNERAL The Well-Known Printer Laid to Rest in Oak ance at the Services at the House— Business Associates Tribute. The funeral of the late John Gibson, the well-known printer, who was a member of the firm of Gibson Brothers, took place this afternoon from his late residence, No. 1208 15th street northwest. There was a very large attendance of the friends of the dead man, including many of the oldest and most prominent citizens “of Washing- John Gibson. ton. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, exceptionally fine being the tributes from the employes of Gibson Brothers and from the employing printers of the District. There were delegations present from the various Masonic and Odd Fellow organ- izations of which Mr. Gibson was such a zealous and prominent member, and the esteem in which he was held was plainly shown by the evidences of sorrow among the gathering. The funeral services at the house were conducted by Rev. Dr. Elliott of Ascension Church, who extolled the qualities of the dead man in feeling sen- tences. The burial will be at Oak Hill cem- etery, where services will be conducted by Acacia Lodge, No. 18, F. A. A. under direction of Worshipful Master E. B. Hesse. The pallbearers were Thomas Somerville, John H. Small, Daniel Fraser, William R. Smith, W. T. Walker and Dr. J. J. Little. Action of Business Associates. Appropriate action on the death of Mr. Gibson was taken yesterday by the employ- ing printers of Washington, who met at 5 o'clock in the afternoon at Judd & Det- weller’s office. Mr. F. M. Detweiler pre- sided, with Mr. John L. Prosise of the E. Morrison Paper Company as_ secretary. Among the other gentlemen present were McGill and Wallace, W. F. Roberts, P. Harr, Franc Sheiry, Everett C. Rapley, Daniel Fraser, Rufus H. Darby, Byron 8. Adams, W. T. Elliott, T. R. Mitchell, W. W. Moore, Stormont and Jackson, Hartman and Cadick and William H. Easton. Many feeling tributes were paid to the memory of Mr. Gibson, and resolutions were adopted declaring that the employing printers had heard with deep regret of the death “of our fellow-craftsman, John Gibson, who for the past thirty-five years has been actively identified with the printing business as an employer, and who, as a business man and citizen, has ever been found in the front rank—a man of fairness and integrity.” It was resolved to send a copy of the proceedings of the meeting to the family and also to the surviving members of the firm of Gibson Brothers, with assurances of sincere condolence in their sad bereave- ment. Messrs. Prosise and Roberts were in- structed to secure a suitable floral offering for Mr. Gibson's funeral. > INSTEAD OF TEA AND BEER. Bank Checks, Deeds, Mortgages and Other Papers May Be Taxed. The republican members of the finance committee of the Senate are considering a proposition to substitute for the duty on tea and the proposed tax on beer a tax on bank checks, deeds, mortgages and other conveyances, which will compensate for the loss of revenue which those two articles would produce. The first proposi- tion was to provide a tax only on bank checks, but this has been broadened so as to include other instruments indicating a money transaction. The committee has not definitely decided upon the substitution, but it has gone so far as to ask that an in- quiry be made as to the amount of revenue that could be counted upon from the source indicated, and senators familiar with the situation predict with the utmost confidence that the change will be made. ee Lord Salisbury made an injudicious joke in one of his speeches on the eastern ques- tion recently. By it he implied that Mr. Gladstone and Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett were about equal authorities on Turkish matters. A flood of condemnation from the press has descended on the head of England’s premier Yor this ill-timed and unkind slur. “Want” ads. in The Star pay because ; they bring answers. 2c. CHINA MATTING.

Judge Bradley to Decide Tacsday Upon Motion to Acquit. The arguments in the case of John E. Searles, the indicted secretary and treas- vrer of the American Sugar Refining Com- pany, charged with having refused to an- swer certain questions asked him by ine Senste investigating committee ir June, 1894, were concluded at 3.30 yesterday afterncon, when Judge Bradley 2djourncd the trial until Tuesday morning, stating that he will then announce his decision in the matter of the motion to direct a ver- dict of not guilty. SEARLES’ District Attorney Davis’ reply to Mr. Johnscn, the senior counsel of the million- aire defendant, a rather brief one, during which he earnestly contended that the investigating committee should not be held to have beea bound by the common law rules relating to the examination of witnesses. If such rules were followed, said Mr. Davis, investigations of this kind would fail in every instance. Therefore, he argued that the rules of examination fol- lowed by a chancellor in an equity pro- ceeding, where the witness is examined upon his knowledge, information and be- lief, should be held to apply. “Suppose, Mr. Davis,” asked Judge Brad- ley, “that Mr. Searles had replied that the company had placed money in the hands of a certain person, and that tracing it through its various channels it had found its way into the hands of a United States senator, isn’t the court bound to hold the question impertinent unless that ultimate fact appears affirmatively?” Mr. Davis replied in the negative, and he cited the decision in the Chapman case in stpport of his contention. It is the belief of those who have fol. lowed the Searles and Huvemeyer cases that Judge Bradley will grant the motion Tuesday morning and will direct the jury to acquit Mr. Searles. — Presidential Nomina Confirmed. ‘The Senate yesterday confirmed the fol- lowing nominations: Kenneth R.
