It has not been observed that the oppo- nents of civil service reform whe were driven to desperation by President Mc- Kinley’s improvement of the civil service rules, and his manifest determination to yield nothing to the spoi!smen, have se- cured much popular support of their anti- reform policy. The public appreciates that these anti-reformers are disappointed office seekers and practical politicians, and rather rejoices than manifests distress at their disappointment. —_~ +e England's Mosle: Frem the Chicago Record.

Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 4, 1397. Col. Jo. Lane Stearn, inspector general of the Virginia state militia, inspected the Atexardria Light Infantry and 3d Regi- ment Volunteer Field Band at the A. L. I. armory last night, in the presence of a large number of the friends of both organi- zations. That the boys passed an admirable in- spection is believed by all who saw them last right. They never looked better, and the atterdance was far above the average. The per centage was lowered somewhat, hewever, by three or four men on the left of the hne without uniform. They were old members of the company, and it is hoped by the friends of the organization that Capt. Bryan will at once take steps to weed the compary of men who take no mcre interest in it. In fact, it is current rumor that the captain has already ap- plied for discharges for twenty or more who have been inattentive to their duties and lax fa their interest in the affairs of the con.pany. Col. Stearn visited the armory yesterday for the purpose of giving it a thorough in- spection. It is urderstood that he found the equipment of the company in a very di- lapidated condition,. not from any fault of the command, however, but from extreme 4 old age. The rifles are out of date and the uniforms too cld and worn for comfort. It is understocd that he condemned both the guns and uniforms, which means that at an early day the company will be fur- nished with a complete new equipment, which, it is claimed, they certainly de- serve. The showing made by the Ficld Band was certainly a creditable one, and the citizens are proud of this organization. Their percentage cn attendance wiil be high, as well as the percentage for per- sonal appearance. The boys showed that they had worked hard to look as neat as possible. They are well equipped. Capt. Henderson’s Funeral. The funeral of the late Capt. O. C. Hen- derson, whose death has been mentioned in The Star, took place from St. Paul's Chureh this afternoon, and was attended by a large number of the friends and ac- quaintances of the deceased. Among these were a number of members of R. E. Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans. The beau- tiful and impressive service of the Episco- pal Church was said by Rev. P. P. Phil- lips. Elmo Davis’ Friends Uneasy. Some little uneasiness is felt by the friends of Dr. Elmo Davis of this city, who is located in Gandon, B. C., on account of the newspaper reports to the effect that the people are fleeing for their lives on account of cholera. Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpson disposed of the following cases: Mattie Payne, charged with aiding a fugi- tive from justice, was dismissed; John Clark, charged with shooting a gun in the street, was disinissed; Walter Pleasant, Edward Bryant and Loving Washington, three smali negro boys, charged with steal- ing’ fruit, were fined $1 each; Georgie Thornton, charged with disorderly conduct, was fined $2 Mary Lee, charged with petit larceny, fined $5, with the alternative of serving thirty days in the work house. Suspicious Characters. Capt. Windsor, a well-known river man, picked up two tramps in the marsh just across the river this morning and brought them to this city as suspicious characters. When the captain landed on this side one escaped. Mayor Simpson gave the other thirty minutes in which to leave town. Amazons fn a Row. Ancther row on North Lee street last Wgkt was the cause of Bertie Gibbons, ore of the inmates ef Rosie Moore's house, being again in the toils this morning. She and a woman named Silvina Berto got into a muddle, in which the Berto woman came cut second best. Mayor Simpson fined Ber- tie Gibbons $5 for the assault. Labor Day. Tabor day will be observed as a holiday in this city, and little or no business will be transacted. The banks will be closed, and the post office will observe Sunday hours. There v.ill be no public demonstra- tien. eS $2.00 to Atlantic City and Return, B. and 0. 3 p.m. Saturday; return until Monday, ple GETTING READY TO RUN. 'Y; good to alectric Sul Soon Be & Twe New irban Railroads wi Operation, ‘The tron for the crossing of the tracks of the Metropolitan branch of the B. and O. railroad at Silver Spring by the tracks of the Woodside and Forest Glen railroad, which has been manufactured by the Penn- sylvania Steel Company, has been shipped from Steelton and will arrive at Silver Spring Monday or Tuesday. The crossing will be immediately put in place and the cars will begin running regularly through from Boundary avenue and 7th street to Woodside as soon as the work is completed. The tracks of the Baltimore and Wash- ington Transit Company are complete from their connection with the Brightwood elec- trie road at Takoma to Glen Sligo Park, and cars will begin running regularly next week. These two new suburban électric roads will give rapid transit through some of the most attractive country around Washington. ed August Revenues, From the Providence Journal. It is of course true that the shrinkage in the August revenues was in part due to the large anticipative importation prior to the enactment of the new tariff law. But it should be observed that the loss was much greater than it has ever been before under similar circumstances, Just before the Wilson law was passed, for example, there were heavy importations of sugar to an- ticipate the coming increase in duties, but the deficit during the first month of the operation of that law was nearly two mill- jons less than that of the past month. On Chairman Dingley’s estimate, allowing for the delay in the passage of this year's tar- iff bill, there would be an increase of cus- toms revenue this year amounting to $54,- 000,000, but with a decrease of six and a half millions the first month it is difficult to believe that this estimate will prove ac- curate. It is said that reviving business will Increase imports and pull us out of the hole. That happened in the winter of 1879, but times have changed since then and, even under the most prosperous con- ditions, we no longer need to buy so freely of foreigners. ———~e-____ Made Restitution.

The court disposed of the case by requiring Bouch to pay Reidlinger the sum named. —_.+__ They Stole Whisky. - George Bell and Jeremiah Jones, charged with the larceny of a bottle of whisky from Henry.

His Presence Might Have Committed Trade Union Movement to Domina- tion of Irresponsible People. Presicent Samuel Gompers of the Amer- ican Federation of Labot, in’ absenting hims2If from the conventigh of’labor lead- ers held this week in St. Lpuis,,has led to much criticism of that gentleman in cer- tain quarters, and late last evening Mr. Gompers gave out the following state- ment, in reply to questions Jp reference to the matter: te “In regard to the convention held last Mcnday at St. Loufs I havé been placed in a most peculiar position. The ¢all for the convention contained my name_as offictally irdorsing it. This was certainly a mis- take in the first instance.’ It=was placed there by Mr. Ratchford, unter the impres- sicn that knowing my intense. sympathy with the mirers in their ‘just struggle, I would go to any lengths in order, to help them to success; but my name was placed there and the official indorsement given to it without my knov-ledge or consent. Terms of the Call. “As you will see, the call was issued to ‘organized labor,’ its various divisions and subdivisions, and to all reform, social, educational and scientific bodies, who con- Gemn government by injunction. Under this call any body of men who € opposed to government by injunction Would be en‘itled to a seat 4n the con- vention. In other words, persons entire remote from and having no connection with labor movements, could have been in attendance and by overwhelming pumbers directed the course, mapped out the pol: and dominated the trade unicn movemen As president of the American Federation of Labor, a responsible office in the trade urion movement, I would not dare hazard the interests of our fellow workers at the handse of persons who might be wholly irresponsible. There are numbers of people who are opposed to governnent by injunc- tion, and who are yet hostile to the clear- cut and well-definec purposes of the trade union movement. = “J shali say nothing in criticism of the action of the St. Louis convention, and I did not say anything eartier, because I did not wish to interfere- with the pro- gram it mapped out, not even its appeal for a contribution of this day’s wages, and I am glad t what I now say will not pear until after the result of this appeal has been acted upon. Union Labor Responsive. “I do know that the trade unionists of this country have responded most liberally in aid of the miners: they are doing so now, and will continue to do so on this line in order to help the miners to win. So far as I am concerned, I-have not lost one jot of interest. On the contrary, if possible, I am more intensely interested in having the miners win, and anything I can do without hazarding the interests of labor and our movement, will be cordially performed to attain that end. “As in the beginning, I stand ready to- day to follow Mr. Ratchford’s lead in this strike in everything except to place the destinies of our new movement in the hands of persons representing ‘reform, so- cial, educational and scientific’ or other bodies, who are simply agreed in their op- position to government by injunction. We ask the ussistance of all to attain that end, but ednnot permit either domination of our movement nor the direction of its policy, with the possibility of diverting it into irrational and improper channels. —_—__— The Pennsylvaniu Railroad Runs The only through trains to' Atlantic City—a $2,000,000 bridge the conneeting’link.

THE WEEK. The United Mine Workers’ officials and the Pittsburg district cperators agreed to submit to a miners’ convention next week two propositions, one to pay 64 cents in the Pittsburg district pending arbitration, the result of which shall not exceed 60 cents or be lower than 60 cents; the other to call the strike off and accept 65 cents; Judge Hogans of the Marion county, W. Va., court issued injunctions against sev- enty miners and other persons, including Rev. W. H. Wiley, who had been holding services in the strikers’ camps; President De Armitt of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company said that, even if the strike is settled, their miners’ will have to carry out the contract legally made by the workmen. Fusion was planned by the silver factions of the three political parties of Nebraska, meeting simultaneously in Separate conventions at Lincoln.

Woodford, United States minister, September sons were killed derailing of a pas enger train at Mayfield, Sussex, England. The Indian council sus- pended the sale of bills of exchange on Calcutta, Bombay and Madras: this action, it fs thought, may be a forerunner of the gold standard for India.
