the Proofs of It.
THAT FEDERATION MEETING
Members of the Press Committee Did
2s ox State tlie Reason Alleged ?or
Their Resignation! E idenoc That
the Star Climbed Advertising Hates
For Labor yews.
The publication in the Evening Star of
yesterday of what purported to be a re
port of the proceedings of the Federation
of Labor meeting, held Tuesday evening
at the hail, on the corner of Four-and-a-half
street and Pennsj lvania avenue, has met
with the oluntary and prompt condemnation
or leading members of that organization.
The purpose of the publication, they say,
was so manifestly an attempt to throw dis
credit Miwn The Times, the only Washington
paper that ever showed labor unselfish
firar, and was ateo so obviously in the
Jn4erct of the StRr. that its object will
defeat itself.
They deny that Messrs Rea and Clem
ent, assigned any such reasons for their
resignations from the press committee
as were given in the Star.and that is sub
stantiated bj the fact that neither or the
gerteiuen quoted is financially interested
In The Times Mr Spohn, a member of
press ooainiiuee, nays that upon this point
he gave no such information as that quoted
in the article
It is admitted by gentlemen who were
preet that something wag said about
'eleventh hour lepentance," but this re
mark wat. a pplied to the Star, not th e Times
It is Weil known by the workmgnien
who recommended the pressman referred
to by he Star that he was never in the em
ploy ot The Tmie
He sought a position, which was promised
at the earnest solicitation of ins friends,
but as the a gent for the press just purchased
for The Times office requested that tome
one else be emplojed, he was paid for his
troMttle in seeking the position and in
formed of the reason why his services were
net wanted.
The (secretary of the federation and sev
erul others of that organization are fully
informed of the circumstances connected
with the case The sratement of the Star
is falte and contains not one iota of fact.
The story as given in the Star is charac
terised by labor leaders as mischievous and
misleading, and in the main essentials
wholly false, and it publication lias brought
to the surface the proof that in times past,
prior to the appearance of The Times, its
evening contemporary did charge organ
ized laitor for the publication of labor
news, and the further fact appears that
since the advent or The Times there has
been a decided change in the policy of that
paper When that fact is proed there
seems to be but little left of the Star's
lalMred story.
The Times will permit those interested
to speak for themselves
IMPLIED AN ANTAGONISM.
T resident James F McHugh, or the
Federation of Labor, when his attention
wens called to the publication in the Star,
expressed rogrct that it had ever appeared
in prtt, because it implied an antagonism
to The Times, which does not exist.
"It was not fettled that there should be
consultation or the press committee," raid
he, "concerning what should apjwar in
pntot, but it is underttood, aud amounts to
a rale, that no one member shall gie out
news without advising his colleagues,
where practicable.
"The Times is a consistent friend to
labor, and its reputation m Washington Is
that of a pioneer m the cause. It deserve
the hearty support of every man connected
with every labor union in the District.
The paper and its recognized head hae my
highest regard "
When atked if Messrs. Rea and Clements
resigned for reasons published in the Star
when they declined to serve on the press
oanitHUtee, Mr McHugh said no He re
inemliered having heard no such remark.
They did not say what was charged.
CONCILIATING OCR ENEMIES.
"There is an old Grecian sajing," said
Mr. W H G Simmons, District master
workman of the Knights of Labor, "that
'the wise man conciliates his enenij ' That
is a good thing to act upon and to perpetu
ate, bat in so doing it docs not follow that
we must sacrifice our friends. In concil
iating our enemies we often do such a
thtog. and the result has alwajs been
disastrous. Workmgmen know this by
oostty experience.
"Before Tlie "Washington Times entered
thelocainewnjwperfieldwi'hadno champion
Gli&iunioiiehip was only bought at regular
advertising rates Bu t Mnce The Times was
established the entire tone of the local press
has very materially changed in everything
pertaining to labor matters Not only have
editonaleoinmentsbeenmolamorphosedfrom
open orunderhand antagonism to siguiticanb
friendHiiess, but the news columns have
been placed at the disposal of representa
tive workingmrn Not that I think tho
local press is actuated by any more love for
labor than it lias shown m the past, but
that tlie commercial instinct has instilled
into it the Tear that The Times will fill the
very long-felt want that labor has known,
and so draw to it itsexcluivesupport.
"Ih my estimation, tlie workingman who
would turn his back on The "Washington
Tmoi after what it has done for linn is
meawr than a common snake in the grass;
aud would indeed be sacrificing his friends
to ids enemies. Even the snake in the
grass knows now to fight for protection.
"The workingman should not forget how
to do so. All (support is welcome, but we
-will insist ou an analyzing its quality. Tne
support of tho Star lu particular given
to tho laboring clement of "Washington is
undoubtedly an effort to destroy The
Times, which it now rccogniresas adanger
ohs and successful competitor for "Wash
ington popularity.
"If organized labor gives its substantial
Eupiort to tiie Star there can bo but one
cowjlttsioo drawn, the injury of its best,
truest, aud only sincere friend."
STAR CHARGED FOR IT.
Mr. George KeJthlcy, for years a promi
nent member of the Carpenters' Assembly
of it Knigliis of Labor, but now a con
tractor and builder, who resides at No.
612 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, was
asked last night whether he had ever known
the Evening Star to charge a labor organi
zation for publishing a statement in the
Interest of labor, and said:
"Yes; I am personally cognizant of it,
end have a copy of the article, written
by myself, now in my possession."
Mr. Keithley produced it, and it is now
in the possession of The Times. It is a
statement that appeared in the columns
sfThe Star May 11, 1689, under the sig
nificant caption of "Tho Other Side."
Mr. Keithley said:
"For about eighteen months I served
Carpenters Assembly No. 1,748 and Lo
cal Dnion No. 1 of Carpenters and Joiners
as their business agent. It was a matter
of commoa comaliunt among, labor jicasJA.
that the newspapers were unwilling to
publish anything for them or in their in
terests when it could be avoided, while tlie
corporations and capitalists were seemingly
having eerything printed iu their col
umns that in any way served thorn.
"I distinctly remember that ou one oc
casion ft stat-nient appeared in the Evening
Star of this city that was veiy obnoxious
to laboring men generally, especially the
carpenters, and we sent a communication
to th" manngerts of the paper in which we
attempted to refute and otherwise answer
the allegations which the oilier article
contained. After some delaj what pur
ported to be the communication was pub
lished, bat it had lieen so mutilated as to be
very unnsalisfactory.
ONLY FOR PAY.
"I afterwaids wrote another communica
tion on another subject and personally
carried it to the Star office, with a re
quest for its publication. It was the
article I just gae jou. After it was in
spotted by some one in the oifice I was
informed that it would not be published
except for pay. I asked what the expense
would be and was told it would cost $30.
Seeing no other way to get the matter
before the public, I told them to publish
it and present their bill The amount, $30,
was afterward paid by the organizations,
and tlie receipt Is doubtless now on file.
"This statement is made simply in the
interest of Justice and right and for no
other purpose, and if it is necessary I can
make affidavit to the pajment of the $30
for the publication."
In regard to the Star's statement con
cerning the resignations of Messrs E. J.
Ilea aud S A Clements, of the press com
mittee, Mr Miirord Spohn, one of those
appointed to fill the vacancies when seen
by a Times reporter last evening denied
that either Mr Kea- or Mr Clements, in
stating the cause of their resignations,
saidnnyihing in regard to being financially
interested iu the paper, only to which they
were willing to luruish information about
the Federation
"They both stated," said Mr Spohn,
"that tlie cause of their action was that
they were not willing to furnish any in
formation to tlie reporters of any other
paper but The Times; but that was all
"I do not think that The Times has ever
asserted that the Star is unfriendly to
the laboring people, although that senti
ment exists among hundreds of laborers"
Mr. Spohn said that ho furnished tho
Star with a part of the material upon
which its publication was based, bjt there
were portions of the article that were in
accurate, and were not supplied by him.
Mr. Arthur Keep, a member of the Fed
eration press committee, and a tailor by
occupation, said:
"I have read the article in the Star, and
consider it very ingeniously gotten up.
It Is entirely misleading, for it would
appear from reading it that there is a
change of sentiment in labor circles to
ward The Times. This is not true. The
Eentiment on the floor of tho Federation
during the so-called debate Tuesday even
ing was overwhelminglj in favor or Tho
Times, and that 1b true of District labor
organizations generally.
TAILORS PAID THE STAR.
"Besides, I know that the tailors have
had to pay the Star for articles which they
wanted published. One was concerning
Barnuni. tho tailor, and I am informed that
after the managers accepted the manuscript
at advertising rates they cut it so badly
that it was practically valueless to or
ganized labor.
"Another thing: From n reading of the
publicition in to-day's -Star one not ac
quainted with the facts would believe that
arter a lengthy debate an amendment was
made to the resolution in question. That is
not true. A motion was made to sub
stitute the -word 'earnest' for 'undivided,'
but it came before there was any discusfion
whatever It is an exaggerated story all
through.
"So far as I am personally concerned, I
shall give The Times my undivided support,
and the great majority of laboring men will
in my opinion do likewise. They know The
Times to be their jfriend."
Mr George W. Glasgow, the sergeant-at-arnis
of the Federation of Labor, says that
during the progress of the meeting Tuesday
eenmg the sent imenLs expressed were over
whelmingly in favor of The Times , and that
workingmeu generally will she it their
support.
Representatives of the Painters' Assem
bly say they can submit proor in support of
the Labor Advocate's charge against the
Star, as they have that paper's receipts
forpjbllcationsof labor news atadvertlsmg
rates.
It was also stated on the floor of the
Federation Hall Tuesday evening, and ha
since beeu reiterated, as the belief of leading
representatives of the local unions that
ir the publication of The Times should by
anj mischance be discontinued, the Star
would re-establish its old rule of charging
advertising rates for anything that laboT
wanted introduced into its columns.
The plasterers, in addition to the carpen
ters, painters and tailors, also recall that
they were not long ago required to pay
advertising rates for the expression of
their labor views through the Star, and say
they have cause to be grateful to The
Times for the radical change that has been
effected in this particular.
THANKS FOR. THE TIMES.

LITTLE IS 1
Flames Completely Gutted the
Y. Ifl. C. A. Building.
PLANS FOE THE EEBUILDING
Two Committees Appointed to Pre
pare Plans for Raising the Fund-.
General Secretary Pugh Ih Hopeful
That a Magnificent Structure "Will
Soon Bo Erected.
The handsome structure, No. 1411 New
York avenue, belonging to the Young Men's
Christian Association was completely de
strojed Tor all practical purposes by fire
and water early yesterday morning. It
was a Tierce, rabid, uncontrollable fire,
which some delay In turning in the proper
alarm gave opportunity for its work or
destruction. Tho loss is estimated vari
ously between $30,000 and $50,000, the
insurance being about $14,000.
The heavy loss to the association has
given a spur to its desire to recoup at the
firat opportunity. Tho preparation for
rising from the ashes was made literally
jesterday morning in the smoke of the
burning building.
Just as soon as it had been ascertained
by the ofricers and directors or the organ
ization that tlie building would be an utter
wreck President L. Cabell Williamson
Issued a call ror a meeting or the directors '
at his ornce yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. All the directors in the city re
sponded to the call.
A telegram had in the meantime been
sent to Seeretary Pugh in western Pennsj 1
vauia, who received it when he was about
to go out for a spin on his bicycle He post
poned his rido aud took the first tram for
Washington , where he arrhed last night
ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC.
President Williamson presided at the
meeting of the directors with Mr J. H.
Lichliter as secretary In the absence of
Mr S. W. Woodward, the chairman of the
finance committee, the discussion partook
largely of a general nature, but the opinion
was unanimous that the association should
be pu ton its feetagain m a handsomer build
ing than tho one destroyed.
The need of a new headquarters was dis
cussed and there were several good offers
from which toselect.theFirstCongregational
Church, the Toundry M E. Church, and the
Western Presbyterian Church " The head
quarters were fixed temporarily atFoundry
Church, on G street, near fourteenth,
where the litter that was saved from the
building was scut.
The directors requested the president,
General Secretary Pugh and Mr. J II. Lich
liter, in combination with the finance com
mittee, to prepare an address to the public
in aid of a new building, after which the
directors adjourned.
Nearly a thousand young men and 25,000
citizens intimately and the whole city gen
erally have a deep interest in this disman
tled building. It was. visited by thousands
upon thousands of people yesterday, many
of whom remembered it only as the Y. M.
C. A., and others as tho old Chanibcrhn
Hotel and the Club House.
There were beveral tenders or finan
cial assistance berore the smoke had rolled
away. Tho rirst contribution to the new
building Tund was made by a member of
tho association, who handed a dollar to As
sistant Secretary Harris for that purpose.
ARRIVAL OF MR. PUGH.
A great deal of interest was attached to
the coming of Mr. Pugh, who came iu at
9 p. m. oer the Baltimore and Ohio, and
was met by a delegation fiom the associa
tion, headed by Mr. H. W. Olmstead, his
brother-in-law, one of the directors. He
at once went to tho site formerly occupied
by tlie association, and viewed the ruins,
afterward going to the Hotel Ardmore,
his temporary headquarters, where a con
ference was held Tvith Messrs. Lamer
and Lichliter.
It was concluded that the building com
mittee, Mi. J. B. Larner, chairman; and
tlie finauce committee, Mr. S. W. Wood
ward, chairman; should make all Uie
arrangements for the rebuilding. Noth
ing will, however, be dorje until Mr. Wood
ward's return to the city from Newport,
R. I.
Mr. Pugh said to The Times that tho
association would use Toundry Church at
present, but it was not expected that they
could domorethnn conduct prayer-meetings
there. It would bo impossible to do any
or the educational or other work of the
Institution, as all of the books and para
phernalia had been destroyed, and it is
absolutely impossible to duplicate them
at this time. In fact it was liiadUsablo
to enter upon any mo omenta until the
affans of the association wero settled.
"We have to buy everything anew," he
said. "The association Is poorer than
poverty. The fire has simply placed ua
in the position where Ave have to begin all
over again. "
ALMOST NOTHING LEFT.
"The insurance," said Mr. Pugh, "Is
$14,000; the Indebtedness on the lot and
for current expenses is between $7,000 and
$8,000. The dlf Terence is all that the as
sociation has, which is practically nothing."
Mr. Pugh's errecta were in the building
and were destroyed. The insurance oT
$750 on them was a small amount com
pared to their value. There was one pic
ture the value or which could not be ex
pressed in money. AH orchis bookB which
ho had spent a life time in gathering have
been destroyed.
As to the origin of the fire, Mr. Pugh
said he doubted if It ever would be known,

PICTORIAL EVENTS OF THE
FATHER AND SON SHOT
Daring Work of tlie Mafia in As
sumption Parish, Louisiana.
Were Stricken Down "While Sitting; at
tho Supper Table Tho Boy
"Was Mortally "Wounded.
(By United Press )
Donaldsonville, La., July 24 Another
Italian shooting, something similar to the
St. John and St. James Mafia cases, took
place on the Elm Hall plantation of Leon
Godchau, in Assumption parish, near Na
poleonville. On Monday night about 8 o'clock, while
seatedaroundthedinlng table eatingsupper,
Phillip Russo, aged fifty jears, and his son,
aged five jears, were both shot from the
outside with buckshot.
Only one shot was fired, the father being
slightly wounded in the right shoulder,
while his son was mortally wounded.
SherifT St Martin, of this parish, imme
diately after the shooting was summoned
to the sceno with his bloodhounds, and
assisted by Deputy Sherirr Joseph Gouax,
of Assumption, started Jn the search for
the assassin.
On suspicion they arrested an Italian
whose house was searched and there was
found therein a shotgun, with a barrel dis
charged and the contents of tho undis
charged barrel loaded with buckshot, slugs,
and other missiles which corresponded
withthatroundinthebddicsorthowoundd.
The wounded man Russo demos that the
one in custody did the shooting and claims
that Charley Menuso, alias Marcouo Notaro,
who has disappeared since the ehooting.is
the guilty one. Like all Italian assassina
tions, the origin or the shooting cannot
be ascertained. Tho., wounded man and
other Italians on the place refuse to givo
any inrormation concerning the occurrence.
Assumption authorities are doing their ut
most to capture Menuse, who, it is claimed
by Russo, did tho shooting. In the mean
time the suspected party under arrest has
been imprisoned in tho Napoleonville Jail
to await preliminary examination.
BEAM'S LAST HOPE IS GONE
President Deolines to Interfere With
the Execution,
Xlis Changed Demeanor o Longer
Profane, But Appears to .Realize
the Gra'vity of tho Situation.
Thelast hope or Murderer Joseph A. Beam
that he might not eud his lire at the end
or the hangman's rope, was taken away
yesterday afternoon when his counsel
received a telegram from President Cleve
land, in which the latter refused to inter
fere in tho case and unless something un
foreseen takes place, Beam will be hanged
to-morrow morniug.
The President's message, addressed to
Beam's lawyers, Messrs Truitt,, Cran
shaw, and Dufry, is as follows:
"Since the receipt of jour letter I have
made an investigation which satisfies
me that interference in the Beam case is
not justified.
"GROVER CLEVELAND."
BEAM'S CRIME.
Beamshothi&fatep daughter, AnnicLeahy,
on the morning of December 22, last.
The woman was standing in the door
6r her home, at No. 220 Maryland aveuue
northeast, and refused Beam admission
to the house to see his sick wife.
After he had fired a bullet mto her
abdomen 6he ran partly around the house
with Beam following close upon her hceH
Ho Jumped upon her and most cruelly
kicked her when she fell.
The trial began March 18 and continued
four days when the jury returned a ver
dict of guilty.
Beam's counsel have worked faithfully
from beginning to end bn the theory con
scientiously held that die man is insane.
Tho thirty-three witnesses who appeared
Tor the dereudant each testified to his
insanity.
HIS LAST ATPEAL.
The last appeal to tlie President was
made last Monday, when Beam's counsel
sent him all the papers in the case, in
cluding the affidavits Of five experts, to
the effect that Beam is of unsound mind.
They asked the President that if a com
mulation of the sentence could not be
obtained he at least grant a respite. Mr.
Cleveland's answer was embodied in the
above dispatch.
The cold, indifferent and profane man
ner in which the primmer lias carried htm
seir ever since his incarceration is begin
ning to give way, and he now turns Ins
thought to the condition or his soul. He
has accepted Father McAtee, or St. Aloysius,
as his spiritual adviser, and for the past
three days the priest has spent much time
in Beam's cell. The condemned man Is ap
parently deriving much consolation from
the ecclesiastic's visits, and now declares
he will leave this for a better world.

American Schooner Stopped by
a Spanish Gunboat.
SEAMAN NEAELY KILLED
Spain's Mim-of-War Looked Like a
Ilugo Tug Boat, But She Could Aim
"Well Tho Philadelphia Vessel
Hoarded by a Lieutenant and Four
Marines All Very Polite.
(By Associated Press.)
Breakwater, Del., July 24. Capt. Quick,
of the American schooner Carrie F. Lane,
upon his arrival hero to-night had a tale
to tell about a thrilling encounter in Cuban
waters with a Spanish gunboat.
Two shota were fired at the Lane by the
man-of-war, and one or the schooner's
crew narrowly escaped being killed by one
of them.
The vessel was made to heave to and.
give an account or herseir before being
allowed to proceed.
The schooner was of r Port Antonio , and
making good time berore a stitr breeze when
on the 14th instant she sighted a. sreanier
flying the Spanish flag following her.
Capt. Quick at first paid no attention to
the steamer, but after an hour or so, no
ticed that she was signalling him to stop.
He then examined her more closely but
could only make out that she looked like
a large tug boat, such as is usually to be
roundmtheharborsaboutPhiladelphia.New
York, and other American seaports.
A SECOND SHOT.
While he was making up his mind what
course to pursue a puK of smoke curled up
o ver the steamer 's port bo w and a rou nd shot
whistled uncomfortably close to the schoon
er's mainmast and plunged into th ewater on
the lee quarter
Capt, Quick gave the order to haul in j
sail and bring the vessel to, and while
this was being done one of the crew ran
out ou the bowsprit. As he stood there
the gun on the Spanish warship boomed
again and another shot sped on its way
toward the American craft, this time
coming so close to her that tho sailman on
the bowsprit swears ho distinctly felt the
wind caused by its rapid flight.
The Lane soon eamo to a dead stop,
and the gunboat drew up under her
quarter. A boat was lowered and four
Spanish marines, under tho command or a
lieutenant in the Spanish Navy, came
aboard.
The were fully armed, and their leader
very civilly lifted his cap and demanded
to know from what port the Lane had
sailed, and whither she was bound. Capt.
Quick gave the required Information and
produced his clearance papers in proof
of his assertions.
No further search was made and the
vessel was permitted to continue on her
couurse without further molestation.
TnE NAME UNKNOWN.
Capt. Quick sajs that he could not get
the name of the gunboat, although he
tried to do so, and can give no further
description of her than that she resembled
an American tugboat. He adds that after
the first shot was fired at the Lane he
caused the stars and stripes to be hoisted
at the peak, but the only response the Span
ish vessfl made to this was a second shot.
Tho gunboat did not hoist her colors
until after the first shot was fired. As
6oou as Capt. Quick reached here to-night
ho wired to his agents, in Philadelphia,
and will await advices from them berore
determining upon what course to pursue
in regard to what he considers an out
rage. He thinks that the Lane must have been
mistaken for a filibustering craft, but in
sists that there is nothing in her appear
ance to j ustiry this belief. Besides this
the vessel is well known to West Indian
waters.
DYING FROM A XARCOTIC.

His Home in Turner Place.
A call about 10 o'clock last night brought
out the police ambulance to No. 1508
Turner place northeast, where Joseph H.
Davis, colored, lay unconscious and seem

The apparently lifeless body was taken
immediately to Freedman's Hospital, where
the surgeons worked on him for several
hours vainly trj ing to restore consciousness.
It wa5 discovered that Davis had swallo wed
laudanum or opium an dthcre was but little
hope of recovery.
Whether the man had taken the poison
with suicidal intent or it had been given
him could notbe learned. '

CARLISLE IS OUT OF IT
Does Not Want a Presidential Nom
ination and Election.
Cle eland Did 2sot "Want to Ban in
1802, and Will Not Be a TVH1-
ing Candidate Again.
(By Associated Presr.)
Richmond, Va., July 21 A representa
tive of the State had an interview with
Secretary Carlisle yesterday. The inter
viewer iald to Mr Carlisle that many Demo
cratslooked on him asa strong manforl'resi
dent and regard him as the only legitimate
successor to Mr. Cleveland.
"Well," responded the Secretary, "not
withstanding the fact that the Presidency
is the greatest honor that can be bestowed,
I do not want the office. I have seen too
much of the hard work attaching to i
The responsibility is not only tremendous,
but the work multiplies and becomes more
exacting every -year.
"A man rau&t have an iron constitution
to stand it. I am sincere when I say I do
not want the nomlnationand election. I will
certainly do nothing toward getting the
nomination. "
Mr. Carlisle then went on to say that not
since the government was founded has any
administration had such trying times in
warastbisadministrationbasbadto contend
with.
"How about tho third term talk? Many
people ate expressing a desire to see Mr.
Cleveland nominated in 1896," the cor
respondent said.
"As close as I am to the President," said
Mr. Carlisle, "ho has never referred to the
subject in my presence. I know no more
about it than you do. But as Mr. Cleve
land did not seek the nomination in 1S92,
it seems needless to say that he will not be
a willing candidate In 1896. I know he did
not want to rmi that last time."
TRIAL TRIP SUCCESSFUL.
First Run on the Metropolitan Road's
Line.
The first trial trip over the whole length
of the Metropolitan Electric Street Railway
Road was run early this morning.
Two cars were sent out, Nos. 2 and 3,
the first in charge of Chief Engineer Con
