PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL There wax a subtle odor of perfume lin- gering about the Grand Opera Houfe this morning, which was a reminder of some grand opera on an opening night. The cos- tumes, the lights on the stage, the flower: the boxes filled with the fair occupants and the tout ensemble led to this effect. There was a chattering in the auditorium, how- ever, throughout the proceedings of the annual congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution which wouid hard- ly ha been permitted in a grand opera production. The aisles were filled with the delegates, decked out in dainty gowns, and the only thing which took away the idea that it was really grand opera was the absence of evening costumes. The curtain did not rise at the appointed time this morning, as it did not yesterday, as the president general seemed to have Mrs. J. Harvey Mathes. business elsewhere. To fill in the interval “Americ s sung before the conven- tion was called to order. The audience rose ner Which, in, and it to their feet and sang it in a m: if there had bi war with had been h the Sp would cert had a ard inly effect op them. When the singing was finished Mrs. Ste- have to order with venson called the congr three sharp raps of the gavel. There was a continuous buz in the audience. The delegates had evidently been so much taken up with themselves and matters concerning the candidacy of the president general, and perhaps social matters, that they did not notice her presence. The president general apparently forgot that she was calling the convention to order, and turned her atten- tion to semething else. She finally return- ed to a consciousness of her duties and rapped with her gavel again. She then begged the house to come to order and re- quested the del to stand while the chaplain general delivered her prayer. Even this did not seem to check the noise of con- versaton at first, but it finally died down. Star Spangled Banner. The exhortation was but a short one, concluding with the Lord's prayer, which was repeated by all the delegates. “The Star Spangled Banner” was rendered in a most patriotic manner, which seemed to show that while the singers might not be able to carry muskets and attend the guns, they could at least attend the wounded and comfort the afflicted. To still further create the idea of patriotism it was follow- long-continued applause. Mrs. W. of Lock Haven sang the solo part ong, with the audience joining in the chorus. When the rey read there we from the delc s yanted te lose no portion of them, or pe: haps to incidentally emphasize the fact that they were on the fleor. A hymn tf the Daughters of the American Revolution : Mr. John Bell Bouton. dedicated to tie Winthr hapter, D. A. R., Cam- “s., Was sting to tne tune of Printed slips of this hymn ven out to all delegates, and it med to make a hit. bly after this morning some of the hters will realize that the prevailing sentiment against the theater high hat is just one. In other words, the re ated to a dose of their own medic the work of the morning was con- iseussion of them. One of from the rear of the audito- in sume the dele rium ar; nd made a decided complaint that the handsome blue silk banners with the names of the delegations in gilt them obstructed a view of the sta the delegate had been a male it could be said properly that she made a decided sick against th obstructions. She wanted banners lowered or removed so that the would be plain of the officers, the nt general and the stage in general. ction for this removal was nade by Kimball of Wisconsin. This seeme create great confusion among the ghiers, much or more so, In fact, as would occur in a house full of women watching an active theatrical perform- ance if they were all commanded peremp- torily to remove their hats. ‘+ From President General. Mrs. Stevenson then declared that tne ners must be removed from the stan- ds. This created still more confusion, and the auditorium was in an uproar. In fact, it seemed for a time as if there would be a strike against this order, but most of the banners were pulled down. “It is a snost unpatrictic thing to do,” remarked a daintily gowned little brunette, with white kid gloves and a lorgnette in her hand. “I don't believe in ever pulling dewn the flag. Dear re, if I was cut in the avdience*I am sure I would rather leave than have the one under which I was represented taken down.” This seemed to be the opinion of some of the delegates, as the New York banner, that of New Jersey ard those of Oregon and Pennsylvania remained and would not be reraoved. An amendment was offered to the orizinal th .t after the morning ses- sion the staffs should be cut off four feet, se that the banners could be lowered and a good view of the stage obtained. It was thought this would take up too much time and trouble, and an amendment to the amendment to the motion was made that the hooks on the standards should be low- ered so that the banners could be attached to them. This was put to vote, and, as far as could be seen, was carried. Extension of Amendments. Mrs. Miils of New York offered an amend- ment to the amendment to the amendment to the original motion, that the staffs should be removed and the banners fixed to the sides of the aisle seats, #0 it could be seen where the d2legations should sit. This appeared to be lost and a delegate in the rear rose and objected to the ladies in that part of the hous? talking. “It is just as bad here as it is in other congresses,’ the delegate stated, with some show of feeling. The president general thin ordered that business be suspended unul perfect quiet reigned. This seemed to have little effect on the delegates, wno cyi- Art Students’ League, Drawing a18 ogttt SE.

HADDAWAY, 521 Tabet ewe For the Klondike in dently had the spring f2eling developing among them and may have been discussing the latest tints and styles in bonnets, or discussing the question of “How to enter- tain properly without becoming a misan- thrope,” or “Should a pink tea be given when that color does not match the intend- ed hostess’ complexion?” It finally ended in the president general appointing one of the delegates to walk up and down the aisle to see that no talking was indulg2d in during the session. z = Mrs. Nash of Washington arose and wanted the matter of the first vice prasi- dency brought up. This was left over last night,' it being agreed that it should be brought up this morning at 11 o'clock. The matter was submitted to 4 ris.ng voie as to whether it should be tak>n uj just then by the delegates or not, and it was apparent- ly defeated. Mrs. Avery of Ohio offered a resolution at this time, which was read. It was that the national officers b> allowed to take their seats on tne stage at once, and that the honorary and cx-oficers of the congress be invited to the lower buxes. The r2solution was put to a vote and adopted. Just after this one of the delegates arose and said she thought the original motion in regard to the standard snould be post- poned a while. Matter Had Been Disposed Of. “I beg pardon,” said Mrs. Stevenson, who had not caught the drift of the dzlegate’s remarks. She expressed surprise when she finaliy understood It, and stated that she thought all the delegates were awar2 of the fact that the matter had been disposed of some time before. Strange to say, this lit- tle occurrence s2emed to create little amusement among the delegaies,as if they, too, had been in great doubt as to whether the maiter had been s2ttled or not. It was finaly settled satisfactorily, now ie Bees Trapped with her ga: was here stated chat announce would b> in order. roenie The following telegram, addressed to the president general of the Was re- ceived from the Arkan: of the Bons omthe Americ “L ROCK, ry 22.—Arkansas Society, Sons of the American Revolution, celebrating Washing sends greeting.” This was signed by Fay Hemp- ptcadsecte ary.

Th> matter which was ieft over from last night, and was to have been brought up at 11 o'clock this morning, finally was admit- ted. This was a motion of Mrs. Walker that hereafter the discrimination now ex- isting between the first vice president of the congress and the nineteen other vice presidents shall cease, and that the title was that Senator Hawley, Mrs Mr: first vice president be dropped. The ex- planation was made that there are twenty vice presidents provided for by the consti- tution, and giving a distinction to the firsi vice president which the others could not have, was objectionable to some of the members. It was said they would like to see ull of the vice presidents known only as vice president. There w considerable discussion on this point. It seemed to be regarded by a ma- jority of the delegates that nothing should be one which would tend to detract from the position of Mrs. Rose Brackett, the first vice president, who regarded as one of the most estimable ladies, the most lov able and best beloved of all the offi Some of the delegates seemed so fearful that it would be painful to Mrs. Bracket to leave this matter acted upon, although she had made no protest whatever, that they rose on the floor and stated that it as simply the office to be discriminate against and not the officer. After considerable _ discussion voted to abolish the office of fi ident general. Banquet Provokes Discussion. The matter of the reception at the Ar- lington tonight caused anoth discu: ny which promised to be long continued and severe. Some of the delegates wanted all of the daughters to have the privile attending this. It was found, however. that this would not be possible, and a mo- tion was passed that only those having white tickets could be admitted.

Progress of the Work. Mrs. Albert D. Brockett, vice president in charge of organization, reported that the work in the west was growing rapidly. The chapter in Honolulu is increasing steadily, numbering twenty-six members now. It is named “Aloha.” A chapter in the City of Mexico is now projected. Mrs. Brockett has written $00 letters during the year. There are 624 chapter regents and 420 formed chapters, an increase of 74 since last 2 Teports the uncestors and up to date. .

The report of Mrs. Jane Seymour, regis- trar general, was full of interest. She has verified the papers of 3,080 applicants dur- acrimony ing the year. Of this number, sixty-five have been “veal daughters of revolutionary soldiers.” The whole number of “real daughters” is now 268. At the October meeting of the board Mrs. Seymour pre- sented the names of ten real daughters. The sum of their united ages was 921 years; thelr average age was ninety-one years. One of the real daughters, Miss Mary Spooner, a member of Ruth Hart Chapter of Meriden, Conn., celebrated her 104th birthday on the 4th day of February. She is the oldest real daughter living, so far as known. Her faculties are unim- paired. She has never ridden in a steam car and says she will not do so at this late period of her life, but she takes her con- stitutional walks every day. Banner Chapter. ‘The Susan Carrington Clarke Chapter, also of Meriden, Conn., is the banner chap- ter, for she has twelve real daughters. Four have died during the year. The state of Connecticut has eighteen. The Le Rayde Chaumont Chapter of Watertown, N. Y., has three who are sisters, and the Elizabeth Benton Chapter of Kansas City, Mo., has five real daughters. Mercy War- ren Chapter of Springfield, Mass., has the youngest real daughter. She is fifty-six years of age. Mrs. Jane G. H. Webber, whose husband 1s a mine owner in South Africa, resides in that country. She is a real daughter. = ‘The registrars have the bound volumes of the application papers under their charge.

A fire-proof safe is also considered necessary. Session Yesterday. At the afternoon session yesterday Mrs. Rose Brackett presided first vice presi- dent general of the society. There prom- ised to be some fun over the report of the ccemmittee on credentials, as Mrs. Donald McLean, one of the candidates for the of- fice of president general, was watching every move, but the business passed off quietly. It was 6 o'clock before the roll call was properly made. It was discovered that about 800 of the Daughters are in ° 1 pert. attendance, with about 707 persons entitled to vote. i be € Amusement was created} @t thle evening session, when it was found that ho motion had been made for an adjournment from the afternoon session. A motion was made to adjourn, and then the evening session was called in proper form. = Mrs. Daniel Manning, the, chairman of the program committee, presented her re- It was merely a preSentation of the printed program. A motion was made to accept it, when Mrs. Robert Walker of Weshington inquired if the acceptance of the program meant that alt of fhe officers of the cor gress whose nathes dre printed upon the program raust be accepted with it. The chair said that she supposed that the acceptance would amount to that. Mrs. Walker then made 1 motion thai hereafter the discrimination now existing between the first vice president cf the congress and the nineieen other vice presidents cease, and that the title “first vice president” be dropped. On motion the matter went over. Mrs. McLean’s Query. Mrs. Donald McLean rose to a point of inquiry as to whether the acceptance of the printed program meant the acceptance also of the page of “general information.” It was the opinion of the chair that this would be the case. The objectionable page con- tained suggestions for the instruction of the convention in nomination of officers, par- liamentary work and similar matters. The motion to accept the program in full was amended immediately by the insertion of the words “for the days.” It now reads that the program be “accepted for the days.” That portion of it not relating d!- rectly to the proceedings of the congress is emitiod. Mrs. Fowler of Boston discovered that the program for Wednesday provided for the election of officers, and the program fer Thursday provided for making changes in the constitution. The proposed changes 11 the constitution may dispense with some of the offices,and Mrs.Fowler thought it would Lot be very wise to elect officers on one day and legislate them out of office on the nevt. She proposed an amendment to the amend- ment, substituting the program of Wedres- day for that of Thursday, and that of Thursday for y. The chair put this question, and division was demanded. The vote resulted in ninety-eight for the affirmative and eighty-six for the negative. Questi; of Quoru ‘The qvestion was on the amendment as amended, and right here somebody raised the question of quorum. The constitution wa but it was found that no reference quorum was contained In that document. hair finally decided that a quorum would be a majority of those delegates who have presented their len- tials to the convention, and a majority of that number was present.

Anthony, who occupied a seat on the platform, Was presented to the corgress and made a short address. After this it was meved that the page in the pro- gram relating to general Information be ac- cepted. Mrs. Manning made a few remarks zbout this, and it was accepted without ob- jection.

STRIKERS HAD CLUBS Testimony of Witnesses for Defense in Martin Trial. FIRED TWO SHOTS AT M’GRAW Mrs. Edmondson and Her Husband on the Stand. gg THEY WERE TERRORIZED WILKESBARRE, Pa., February 22.—Ow- ing to the mass of business in court, Judge Wocdward decided there should be no hol- iday tcda, “But,” said he, ‘I deem it ap- propriate that we observe the day by hear- ing Washington's farewell address, and 1 requested Mr. Scarlet to read it.” There was a burst of appla) at this an- neuncement, and the reading was given careful attention and was followed by pro- longed applavse. first witness of the day was Mrs. James Edmcrdson, who lives at Harwood. he sald that on the day of the shovting she heard a reighbor shout: “Skin out, the are ccming.” Continuing, witness Strikers Had Clubs. “I saw the men. They all had clubs. M man and my boarders hid behind the shan- ty and I went to protect my sick boy in the hevse. Bet they found my husband and tried to get him away. I grabbed him, and, after a lot of words, they let him go. They said to me: ‘Wait until we come back; we'll fix you.’ A neighbor gave me a big stone, and said I should throw it if they tried to get my man again. They did try, and I threw seme stones. They threatened to knock my brains out. Some tried to get into my e to take my sick son, but I told them that If they came in they'd be dead when they went out. They went away then. imonson, husband ef the previ- his neighbor, hout to him that the strik- and that he'd better get O'Donnell, were coming out. Continuing, witness said: “I went with my two boarders, but hardiy had we got it before the strikers caught us. They dargged me along for a couple of hundred nd then my wife rescued me. All trikers were armed.” Wolfe Fooled the Strikers. Peter Wolfe, a driver at the Harwood col- liery, said: | “When the McAdoo men came to Har- wood on Tuesday, September 7, one of them said: ‘How would you like to be made go to McAdoo?’ I id, ‘Let me put the mules away first.” He waited, but I did not go. “On Friday the strikers gathered to march to Lattimer. I went down to the company’s store, and we locked ourselves in. Afterward, when we thought the strik- ers had gone, we went out. One man chased me with a big club for a long dis- tance, and I finally escaped by jumping through the window of my house. I saw Joe Muhall that day with a club about four feet iong. He was one of the leaders of the strikers.” John Boyle of Harwcod, who saw the strikers approaching his house, armed him- self with a billy ard hic upstairs. When liis daughter told the strikers he was not home they satisfied themselves by calling her names and then went away. — Shot at McGraw. James McGraw of Harwood said he was pursued by the strikers, and as he could not run because of his advanced age, he hid in the bush, and as he dropped two shots were fired at him. He remained in hiding until the men had gone. Charles Mullen and two friends were pursued by the strikers who shouted: “We will shoot you,” and finally they fired two shots at them as they got into the bush. John Ripple, the last witness of the fore- noon, said he was followed cn the night be- fore the shooting by four men with clubs, who threatened to kill him if he did not stay awny from work the next day. He told how he was ¢hreatened the next day by armed strikers and was very much afraid of them, but they did him no harm. Court then adjourned.

BY ELECTRICITY a a.m., Cars Run by New Motive Power on 14th Street. SYSTEM OPERATED SUCCESSFULLY Officers of the Road Pieased With the Test. Se THE AVENUE LINE NEXT eg Cars were run today by electricity on the 14th street line of the Capital Traction Railroad Company. Shortly after 12 o'clock last night the first car was started from the car hovse at the nerthern terminus of the lire. It made the entire run to avenue and 15th street and back again Without a hitch, except at one place where a bolt had been left in the slot by one of the werkmen. The plow of the car struck this obstruction, but the rate of speed was The bolt not high and so no damage was done. car was, of course, stopped, and the removed. This morning for the f cable power house was des: the th of September moved along the entire length of 14th by another motive power than horses, Had lis Defects. As is well known, the have been run by the underground system from U street northward to the terminus of the line sir the 10th of January last, and from that point southward passengers have been car- ried by horse cars. It was a system of operating the road that was supposed to be only temporary, and had all the defects that are apt to connected with that character of railroading. Thus, perhaps, the application of the underground system in the operation of the entire line which began this morning becomes an event of unusual importance to the patrons of the line, and they no doubt will have oceaston to look backward to Washington's birthday of 1808 as the beginning of their freedom from the annoyances and inconveniences which followed the destruction of the cable power house last fall. Mr. Carll, the engine: intendent of the Capi on road, as well as those who h en connected with the installation of this system, are, of course, very much pleased that the test of the system proved to be such a complete success. The connection with the power house of the Potomac company, where the current ptained, and which is located in Georgetown, and the wires running up lith street were completed last evening. Then the current was turned on, and, as the experiment demonstrated, the ¢lec- tricity ran without hindrance from the power house up 33d street to M street and thence over the P street bridge, along Pennsylvania avenue to New York avenue and 15th street, and from that point up lith street. zeneral super- The Schedule. Tweive cars are being run on a schedule of three minutes. On New York avenue near 15th street the cars are switched over on the other track and are then ready to make the return trip. The horse cars which formerly ran on 14th street began at this point, and made the regular trip down the avenue to the B. and 0. station. As soon as the power house of the com- pany in Georgetown is completed it is ex- pected that cars will be run by the under- ground system on the Pennsylvania avenue line. No definite date has been fixed for this event, but it is thought probable, if there are no unforseen difficulties, that the power house will be completed by the Ist of March, and in that event the additional portions of the line will have the electric cars. It is the purpose as soon as this is ac- complished to place horses on the 7th street line and to begin the work of installing the underground electric system on that branch: . ———— Marriage Licenses.
