East Washington Citizens Want
Them for Commissioners.
A PRECEDENT SUBMITTED
Tlio Committee of Fifteen Agrees
Upon Suggehtioiit to the X resi
dent Gen. Mrney, Gov. Ordwny,
and Dr. Croffut to Urge lue Ap
pointments Cuso of. Gen. Payne.
So far as lite citizens of Enbt Washington
are concerned, tlie successors have been
named to Commissioners Q'ruesdcll aud Ross.
It is not a new thing that district oT the
city should ask for territorial lepresentu
tion, as .such a plan was advocated in 18S1
and was approved by President uarneld.
The committee of fifteen, whose object
has already been noted In The Times, met
ieslerday afternoon at the city hall, Geu.
IJirneyprchiumg. The con unit tee had bclure
it a number of names as suggestions to tlie
Pret-ldent lor appointment. One of those
iiiohtproniineiitlymenHoiiedasaprobnhllity
was Mr. M- I. Wellcr, but he gave the
committee to understand before the meet
ing that lie was in no .sense a candidate
and that he could not serve it nominated
by the President.
The committee, after a long session and
consideration of nil the claims, agreed on
Mr. W. C. Dodge as the Republican Com
missioner and Mr. Ross to succeed liinnelf
as the Democratic Commissioner.
Gen. Birney said that the committee
represented about two-thirds of the area
of the District and about one-half of Its
population.
The committee selected Gen. Biruey, Gov.
Ordway and Dr. Croffut to .see Secretary
Porter olid arrange for a, conference with
the President, at which the gentlemen
nominated by the committee jhall be
urged for appointment.
Gen. l'lrney said that Mr. Ross was in
every sense a citizen of East Washington.
He is A resident of that section and owns
property there. Mr. Dodge Is also a well
known citizen and, of course, a resident of
East Washington.
As above Doled, the principle for which
the East W.tshiugronians aie contending
was i (.-cognized not long after the estab
lishment of the present form of DIstiict
government. When Gai field was President
there was an effort made to change,
as It w;ih even then claimed, the dtirt of
tilings to the noithwcst, and the people of
East Wa.-hiugioi) centered on'Gen. Payne
as tlie Commissioner to represent that
sectiou. Gen- Payne was advocated before
Gai field, who agreed to appoint him, but
this was not done on account of the tiagic
death of the Piesident.
It is not unlikely, now that the East
Washington people have acted, that the
matter or the indorsement of Uie idea by
the board will be pushed. At the last meet
ing or the board the question came up in
cidentally in the discussion or home rule
for the District, but a resolution offered
covering the Comrnlssloiicrship for East
'Washington went over until the next meet
ing. Inthemeanwhilcthe other candidates arc
not losing any time, or their friends are
not, in getting their cases in shape. It is
ft matter of some importance to the people
or the District, and there is no prospect of
a surprise at least , as to the time when the
nominations will be scut to the Senate by
the President.
MYERS AT FLOOD TIDE
Hundreds of People Have Been
Ruined and Rendered Homeless.

Down the Levees.
Memphis, Tenn., March 1G So far as
reported with reliability tonight there
have been but two diownings in the flood,
both being colored, in the vicinity of
Marion, Ark. Stories of jescue by the
half dozen or more steamers engaged in
the work and vessels arriving fioni above
and below have, however, added highly
thrilliug features to the situation.
From refugees arriving from back of
Marion it was learned that hundreds of
people in that sectiou were in the water
and without means to escape. Accordingly,
h light draught steamer was pushed in that
direction as far as possible and skiffs
imnetrated even further. The rebult was
the rescue or scores of sufferers. On Prcsi:
dent's Island, below here, a large number
were foundinthewaterandtaken on board.
On Island Forty, above, a report came
that there were between fifty and a huu
dredpeoplc in between three and four feet
of water, and a steamer was dispatched to
their relief.
The steamers Mary Morton and W. F.
Nisbet, from above, brought tidings of
desolation and distress all along the river
for 100 miles or mo&. The latter's of
ficers declared that there were certainly
hundreds of people for whom there was
no prospect of relief. Every piece of
ground along the river above water was
crowded with people and Ii?c stock, and
in one Instance their place of refuge was
a sawdust mound which was being stead
ily swept away from under them.
The Yazoo river at Greenwood, Miss.,
is at flood tide with the Tallahatchie and

The Ex-President Argues a Case
Before the Supreme Court. '

He Loves Washington When
the Streets Arc Clean.
Ex-President Harrison aud ex-Attorney

hour.
Gen. Harrison was seen at his hotel a
little later. He looks to be in remarkable
good health much better than he did
.vlien he w.-is President. He is not so
fleshy and there is more color iu his
face. He unid he came strictly on busi
ness and has not made any social calls.
"What do you think of the President's
message" to the extra session?" ho was
asked.
"Now," he -said, as he put his hands
behind him under a long, blaek frock coat
and posed wisely, as the cartoonists ured to
pose him under that big hat. -'really, I'm
not making calls aud I'm not being inter
viewed on any subject. But I'll say one
thing," he coutiuued, '"the city is not very
clean."
"The parks look a little rusty and I
fancy there has not been a good cleaning
bince the inauguration. When Washing
ton is clean it is a beautiful city, and 1
love to fee it so."
"Do, you think, general, you will ever
come here to live permancnUy?"
"Never." lie renlied. emnhntically. "In
dianapolis is the place to live and 1 have
never had an' desire to live here per
manently." Neither Mr. IlnriiMin nor Mr. Miller
called at the White House yesterday.

Opening of the Continental Clothing
House.
Washington has a new Clothing House,
and a fine one, in the "Continental," on
F and Eleventh streets, the opening of
which attracted much attention on
Saturday last. Tlie enterprising proprietors,
Mc-sr."1. Godfrey, Moore & Co., made things
very pleasant for the troop of visitors "who
"took in" tlie new stoie. Every visitor was
presented with a pretty floral Mntvenir as
a menionto of the occasion. The store has
beeu transformed entirely, quite extensive
structural alterations being -necessary to
achieve the really artistic ideas of the
partners.
As itstands, the re is certainly not a more
admirably arranged store In town, and
Saturday's crowds showed how keenly ap
preciative ill such matters Wushington
ians are. The staff is composed cf
gentlemen who are all old friends,
Messrs. W. E Shckcll, A, T. Barbee.W. J,
Moran ( formerly with Parker, Bridget & Co. )
and Mr. J. B.Welkcrt, formerly with Messrs
Saks and McKncw. Courteous attention is
assured with such a staff, and the Conti
nental will doubtless become a favorite store,
fromnow on. It is intended that the whole
of the ground floor shall be devoted to
boys' aud children's clothes. This will be
welcomed by mater familias, who as a
rule buy for young America, as a sensible
and considerate plan, to save her trouble
and stair climbing.
LABOR CIRCLES AGITATED
Tlie Charged Against Hayes Af
ford F6od 'for Gossip.
AN EXPLANATION GIVEN
It Th Sold That the Charges Were
Instigated by a 3Iouibcr of the
General Executive Hoard Who
Is a X'ersonal Enemy of the See-retury-Troiisjurer.!
There were no new official develop
ments in tlie "Hayes suspension" matter
yesterday. All the parties interested were
6een, but they refused to talk on Uie sub
ject farther than to state that it would
amount to nothing.
The statement however, thatcnarges had
been preferred against the General Secretary-Treasurer,
and that he had beeu sus
pended was the general topic of conversa
tion in labor circles.
The denials made by leading officials
are not surprising, for at the last meeting
of the general assembly of the order au
order enjoining the strictest secrecy on
all matters pertaining to a business of the
knights of Labor was adopted
There arc members of the order, however,
who do not cousider that personal griev
ances should be classed as "business,"
especially when the result is calculated to
seriously effect the progress aud welfare of
the Knights ot Labor.
One of the most prominent among these
said to a Times reporter:
Whilethechargesttgainst Secretary Hayes
were preferred by District Assembly No.
66, "K. of L., they were instigated by a
member of the general executive board,
who wants Hayes beheaded for the good
the general secretary did not do the mem
ber referred to, in the past. Tlie charges,
he was Informed, accused Secretary Hayes
of. attempting to gain control of the local
assembly for his own personal benefit, to
the detriment of tlie order in the District
Tbis charge, the spealcer said, is abso
lutely false, for it Is well known tbafin
the execution ot the last order or the Gen
eral Assembly Secretary Hayes was ex
tremely lenient and construed the order so
as to allow District Assembly No. 66 more
time to consider and take final action In
regard to the conditions Imposed. And so
far as Secretary Hayes doing anything
to the detriment of the order,, either lo
cally orelsewhcre.ifc.iH mere nonsense, for,
lie said, it is a well-known fact that he
has doue as much, if not more, for the ad
vancement of the order than any one man
in it.
It was also learned last night that the
matter of Secretary Hayes has been hang
ing fire for some time. It was said that
one member of the general executive board
was in favor of suspension, and that another
had agreed, If the charges made could be
substantiated, ,he, too, would favor the
decapitation or.AIr. Hayes. The other three
members of the-board, who, it is. said, were
thoroughly conveisant with the circum
stances which led to the making or the
charges, make light of the whole arfair
and do not even consider it serious enough
to discuss.
The general, executive board will meet
this morning at 0 o'clock, and will prob
ably be in session all day. Master Work
man Sovereign will go to New York to
night to tnko partiu the arbitration meet
ing', and will return on Friday, when the
board will continue its work.

Hop Wo, Fong l'o Kning and Moy Bing
Fun, the interpreter. J. C. Campbell and
Thomas A. Keough, of San Francisco, are
with the party to pilot them through the
intricacies or the law aud sec that their
case is properly presented.
The local Chinamen disclaim any knowl
edge of the coming of their countrymen,
but they are doubtless aware of their com
ing visltas well as the mission which brings
Ui em here, and many high jinks may be
had In their honor.
Fong l'o Kalng is the presldcnt'of the
See Tup Society, a mutual benefit organi
zation, incorporated under the laws of
California. His companions are all members
of the society, and this is what got them
into trouble. The See Yups are the rivals
of the Sam Yups. Both have close rela
tions with the powerrul Six Companii-h.
The Six Companies maintain a sort of
society for the suppression of vice and
crime. This is the Wee Hai Lung. Its busi
ness is to keep the run of all the dark do
ings of the Chinese in this country, and to
give testimony against lawbreakers when
it Is needed. The Sam Yups got control
ot this society, Mr. Campbell, the attorney,
says, and had several Chinamen who had
been convicted of crime and had "done
time" appointed on the board of inspec
tors. These men act as agents. The See
Yups protested against these appointments
to the Chinese consul at San Francisco,
Fung Yeong Heug, but be refused to inter
fere. The controversy ended in a boycott
between the two societies. The consul
ordered this to be declared off, aud the See
Yup3 obeyed, but told him that there would
be trouble while the Inspectors remained.
The consul then sent to Minister Ynng
Yu, in Washington, a story that the See
Yups were rebels, full of treason, and that
they were plotting the overthrow or the
emperor, tor which purpose they were col
lecting munitions or war. The minister pre
pared an indictment containing the charges
aud sent it home. The result was thatthc
emperor caused the property of seventeen
or the Bee Yups to be seized, imprisoned
many or their relatives, condemned Lee
Kaing Chow and Ching Wang Way to be
beheaded, and sentenced the others to im
prisonment for life if they ever set foot in
the empire again.
It is to secure the release of their rela
tives and get their property back, as well
as to secure the revocation of the sentences,
that an appeal will be made to Minister
Yu. They will tell him that Consul Heng,
after the boycott, offered Chief of Police
Crowley, of San Francisco, $10,000 in
demnity if he would break up the See
Yup headquarters, and that when tlie chief
refused he hired a band of white men to
go at them with axes and do $8,000 worth
of damage. One man has been tried and
convicted for the offense.
The Sec Yups have no doubt that Min
ister Yu will be convinced of the justice
of their case as soon as he has given
them a hearing. Ills term expires April
11, and his countrymen hope he will inter
cede for them when he goes home.

The WorW of Business
The Wall street market would have been
most satisfactory to the bulls yesterday
oxcept for tho trouble with Missouri Pa
cific. Railway and industrial stocks gath
ered strength all day, and near the close
tho best figures for a longtime past were
recorded in many instances. The Van
dcrbiltslcd the advances as usual recently.
New YorlcCentral, Big Four, Canada South
ern, Northwest, all showing great firmness
from start to finish. The confident buying
of these issues was the subject of much
comment on the street and had much to
do with tho firm front presented by the
other railway stocks during the Missouri
Pacific raid. Speculation closed strong
in tone, net ciianges allowing gains of
1 1-4 to 2 3-4. Tlie total sales for the
day were 238,131 shares.
. Tlie street is very much interested in the
remarkable strength displayed by the Van
derbllt stocks. New York Central got
up to 100 yesterday; Canada Southern to
50 5-8, and Big Four to 33 1-2. The
public Is really getting into the market on
the Vanderbilts. There Is much commission
buying'going on. This continued activity
in these stocks and the desire or the public
to participate ill it seems to mean that the
public would invest now if it got a little
more assurance of a McKinley boom. If
Mr. McKinley can pass his tarflf bill, and
if the tariff bill brings revenue, railroad
stocks will go up, market sharps say.
The sensation yesterday iu Wall street
was a break In Missouri Pacific from 19
to 15 on unusually heavy trading. Tlie
old report of a receivership was freely cir
culated. The rumor was received with a
most emphatic denial on the part ot Presi
dent Gould and Director Sage. Mr. Gould
gavo a statement to the public directly
after the slump in the stock, expressing
his willingness to cash April coupons of
the company at their face value, less the
usual rebate at the Tate of 6 per cent per
annum. He stated that the earnings ot
tbe road were improving, the net for Jan
uary showing an increase of $148,000 as
compared with the corresponding month of
'96. In his opinion the attack on the stock
and the reports of a receivership were the
result ot a desire on the part of the bears
to cover short sales in other stocks. The
denial alarmed the shorts, and a rush to
cover followed. Missouri Pacific closed
at 18 3-4, having regained almost all of
Its loss.
In the afternoon risein'the stoclrmarket
Manhattan and Western Union were con
spicuous, moving up 1 12 per cent each.
Sugar was traded in cx-divldend of 3 per
cent yesterday. The stock sold down to
111 G-8, and then rose to 113 G-8. It seems
certain that Sugar will feel very heavily
tlie agitation or the tariff question, and
the continued prophecies that Sugar will get
the worstor the deal In every wayrrom the
bill. Ofcoursethebilllsnotpaflsedyet, and
there is no certainty that it may not be
modified more to suit the views of the
Sugar people. However, Sugar seems nt
least to be a sale for the present.
Omaha contlnues-to act well and to seem
a good purchase The buying of Omaha
ot late I s said to be of very good quality.
It Is accompanied by a number of rumors
or various kinds, most ot them favorable,
some of which are very positively urged.
Omaha should go higher, nlniost certainly,
and most shrewd traders thinkseveral points
higher.
The Lexow trust bill declares illegal every
contract or combination whereby monopo
lies in the manufacture or sale of any ar
ticle ot common use are maintained, or
whereby competition In supply or price is
restricted or prevented. The next step fs
to pass this bill, and the third step to en
force it.
