A Lively Debate Over St. Vincent
Abbey Beer.
RESOLUTIONS REPORTED
NEW YORK, August 9.-The delegates of
the Catholic Total Abstiner.ce Union met
early today, Pres'de'st Rev. James M.
Cle'ary in the chair. A letter of regret from
Rt. Rev. James McGoldr'ck. bishop of Du
luth, was read, at:er which Rev. P.
O'Brien, chairman of the committee on
resolutions, presented the majority report.
It was a bitter attack on liquor sellers,
and asked those engaged in the business to
give It up. It also advocated a s;trict
Surday rocial law. 'The resolution attack
ed the press, Archbishop Corrigan and Mgr.
Satolli.
Father Zurcker of Buffalo presented a
minority report.
The main portion of his report was the
same as the majority report, but he at
tacked the St. Vincent Abbey beer end
Catholics generally for making beer.
"That's the darkey behind the fence in my
repcrt," said he.
Rev. Father Ward moved that the ma
jority report be received and Father
Zurcker's reference to St. Vincent's beer
be incorporated therein.
Fathe- Zurcker said the people of Amer
ica would respect Catholis more if they
took a bld stand on this question.
Father Walter Ross of Ohio said they
were a national body and sould pass res
olutions dealing with the national ques
tion and not designate any particular place
or diocese. He moved the following reso
lution: "Recognising the inconsistency of
declaiming against Catholic laymen in the
liquor business, while passing over in si
lence the unseemly spectacle of religious
men and clergy managing and encourag
ing the unbecoming traffic, the union de
plores the continuance of this un16lfying
example and hopes for its speedy suppres
sion."
Father Kelly said there was no sincerity
about this. for Father Ross at the ma'tting
of the comnmittee voted against his own
resolution.
. The ch irn mn said that this could not
be allow 'I.
Delegate Magaa of Minnesota, a colored
man, was the next speaker. He was vo
ciferously cheered.
"The darkey," said he, "has been smoked
out of the wood pile and crossed the fence."
It seemed to him that this disgrace had
been tolerated too long. In his state tisey
were told: "We can drink the St. Vincent
beer; it's holy and won't db us any harm."
lHe urged the passing of the minority
resolution.
Father Doyle, in reading the resolution,
asked the delegates it. they were willing to
say that religious men and clergy were
managing and encouraging the liquor bus
iness.
There was a prompt "No," and then
Father Doyle said: "You cannot pass that
resolution."
Mrs. Lake s'aid such a resolution could
not be accepted, as It would cause a mis
conception in the minds of many people.
After further discussion the majority re
port was adopted.
St. Louis, Mo., was selected as the place
and the first Wednesday of August as the
time for the next year's meeting of the
convention.
Father Cleary of Minneapolis was unani
mously re-elected president, and J. Wash
ington Logue was re-elected vice president.

SUGAR BOUNTY HEARING.
Senator Caffrey Appears Before the
Controller.
Senator Caffery took the floor when the
sugar County hearing was resumed today.
He began by eliciting from Mr. Bowler a
brief statement of his position, which that
gentleman. said was based principally on
the- belief that the law was unconstitu
tional.
Mr. Caffery then laid down the following
propositions as containing in brief . the
points that he would attempt to make:
1. That the judiciary power lodges by ex
press constitutional grant in the judicial
department, and that alone.
2. If any judicial function lodges In any
other department it must -be by express
c-rstitutional grant, and if it lodges in
the executive department at all it iust
be in its chief alone, and .not in his subor
dinates.
3. Conceding for argument's sake that
the bounty law is not constitutional, it Is
rot so clearly so as to warrant the inter
pretation that it is unconstitutional even
fr.m a court, much less from a ministerial
officer. It is not prima facie unconstitu
tional.
4. Even conceding the unconstitutionality
of the law, the power lies in Congress to
appropriate money, especially where it is
appropriated for the purpose of 'reili-ih'g
a wrong or injury inflicted by Congress
itself.
He then proceeded to elaborate these
pcints in an argument devoted .almost
exclusively to the constitutionality of the
bounty law. At 1 o'clock a recess p
taken.
ANTIMONY AND PLATINUM.
,-. Mt.
The For mer is Found, but the OtPut
of the Latter is Small.
The review of the mineral resources of
the United States, now being issued by the
geological survey, gives a short account
of antimony and platinum. It says that
antimonial ores have been found in a num
ber of the western states, chiefly in Ar
kansas, California, Idaho. Montana, Ne
vada and Utah. It is usually found in
the form of a sulphide, but also occurs
combined with Iron, topper and lead. The
product of the United States has risen
from sixty to's In 1382 to 250 tons in 1D04,
valued at $45,000O. Nearly the entire supply
is from California, and is smelted at San
Francisco. A lesser but considerable quan
tity came from Nevada. The imports were
small in 181)4, being talued at only $213,00,,
about two-thirds the usual amount.
The production of platinum is still insig-'
niticant. The results of the examination
of the black sands of the Oregon beaches
have proved a disappointment, theamount
of platinum being scarcely noticeable, al
though the sand contains $1.55 In gold per
ton.
Charged With Criminal Libel.
A warrant was issued this afternoon from
the Police Court for Andrew J. Boyer, pub
lisher and editor of the United American,
known as the local A. P. A. paper, for al
leged criminal libel. The warrant was
sworn out by Hamilton G. Pant and
charges that Cornelius D. Kenny, the tea
merchant, who has stores in Baltimore and
this city, was libeled in an, article published
in the paper.
The warrant states that in the publica
tion of the paper there was a statement
to the effect that Kenny had openly stated
that he would never employ a Protestant
clerk, and that in posting a notice for the
employment of a clerk - he posted "No
Protestans need apply." The article
charged is alleged to have concluded: "Let
Americans steer clear of this Papist boy
cotter."
These statements the complainant alleges
are untrue.
The warrant will probably be served .his
evening.
Without Bills of Health.
The Secretary of the '[reasury today re
ceived a report from Capt. Roberts of the
revenue cutter Morrill, now at Tampa,
Fla., stating that en the 8d Instant, while

partmental instructions of the 19~th cf
July. he boarded both of the vessels, end,

Recognition of Their Protective
Union.
tOCiI DEFRJBDS ITS EBR
Presidens illips Wants Hand
some Motormen.
OTHER RAILWAY MATTERS
At the meeting yesterday afternoon of
the Protective Street Railway Union a full
report Wias mode in regard to the discharge
of a driver on the Anaccatia line. Presi
dent Griswold of ti-at line has entirely
changed his attitude toward the members
of the Railway Union, and now does not
dismiss a man without giving him ample
opportunity to present his side of the case.
One of the drivers of an Anacostia bob
tail car a few nights ago "loafed" on the
car following until be was running on the
other's time and had picked up twenty-six
passengers- in ?11, leaving none whatever
for the second man to haul. e
The driver, after hauling his load of pas
sengers as far as the.stables of the line in
Anacostia, and, although he should have
taken his car to the terminus of the line in
Hillsdale, to which point many of them
wanted to go, deliberately drove into the
stable and ordered the passengers to take
the next car. The driver of the latter, al
though his car would get no credit for
hauling the'load, cheerfully told the pas
sengers to get aboard, and he took those
who ranted to go there to the end of the
line.
The remarkable action of the first driver
was the subject of general talk among the
employes (.f the railroad company, and
the stcry soon reached the ears of Presi
dent Griswold.
Given a Chance.
Instead- of summarily dismissing the
man, without giving him a hearing, Mr.
Griswold sent for him, and asked him in
the most kindly manner to make a full
htatement of the affair. The man did so,
and then President Griswold asked him if
he had ever known any of the other men
to adopt a similar course with his pas
sengers. The driver replied that he had,
and named three of his colleagues as those
whose course he had, he said, followed.
Mr. Griswold then sent for the three men
whose names had been given him, and they
were questioned at length. Each succeeded
in proving that the charge made by the
offending driver was unfounded in every
particular. '
President Griswold then informed the
offender that he could no longer continne.
in the service of the Anacostia Railway
Company, and his course in the matter
was unanimously indorsed by the employes
of the road.
Subsequently the dismissed man made an
appeal to various members of the Protec
tive Street Railway Union to try to induce
them to get the union to interest itself in
his behalf in. order to get reinstated in
the Anacostia Company's employ. But the
men replied, tphat the offense of which he
was, by his own admission, guilty, was of
too glaring a character to afford a hope
that the union would intercede in his be
half...
Reports ubinitted sho6e 4that the Ana
&o<tia rod' Is carrying more passengers
than ever'beforte fe.a.4eng-thne, and much
awtisaetion Was -expressed 4y the mem
1s,a,,gsne allp that the public is carrying
out the impie intentfon made known dur
f~tl tesir'ike, that with bettqr tregtnpent
for its mob the company might reasonably
expect better, and 'mbre' liMi'al' trikt'ment
from the traveling.pablki,,,. , .
1ihe Eckington Road. .
In regard to the troubles with the Eck
ington road, it was stated and determined
by the members of the union that as there
is no antagonisin on part of the union
against ai1y'road in the District, and as
the uhibn'-does not admit as members any
men who are not sober and industrious,
the union. intends to make a stand when
the roads exercise an unjust or prejudiced
rule of discharging men, and the union
will not pass the matter unnoticed.
It Is said the union has received a great
many accessions lately, and its member
ship is now represented on every railway
line in the city.
The Columabia. .
Report was made, tb the sfheeting that
the committee which, hd, calle$ on Presi
daiet 'alier of the Columbia .Railway .Com
apry in reference to the reinstatement of
twedischarged men" had found that Mr.
Baker is not opposed to the union, and
is willing for the employes of the com
pany to become members of that body, and
that the dismissed employes would, he
said, be re-employed.
Handsome Motormen.
A recent act of President Phillips of the
Metropolitan Railway Company, which was
spoken of informally, though seemingly of
but little importance of itself, has won for
Mr. Phillips lots of praise among his em
ployes. It seems that' President. Phillips,
who like every one else connected with the
company, or who rides on the new electric
cars of the 9th street line, feels a special
pride in the matter, and wishes the com
pany the most abundant success, has re
cently, unobserved by the men themseLves,
teen taking note of those conductors whom
he regards as the handsomest men in his
employ, and in a number of instances he
sent for those he had determined were the
best looking, and said to them:
"I have no fault to find with you gentle
men as conductors, but you, are so good
looking that It will give me pleasure to see
you on the front of an electrIc car. Now,
will you oblige me by learning to be a
motorman."
Of course, after this very complimentary
speech by the president there was nothing
for the conductor addressed to do but
comaply, and all who were so selected are
row beIng broken In as motor men.
Among those so honored was Mr. F. M.
Dent, the secretary of the Protective Street
Railway Union.
As stated in The Star yesterday, the
Railway Union will take care of the con
ductor of the Eckington road who was
discharged because he Is a member of the
union. It is also understood that the union
will use Its- influence to get the man em
ployment elsewhere.

INVOLVED LABOR QUESTION.
Can Union Bricklayers Build on Non
Union Stone Work?
The Stonemasons' Urdcn will at their
regular meeting toright have before them
a very important question which involves
a question of Internatloral law and the em
picyment or non-employmcnt of a large
number of bricklayers.
According to the repcrts submitted at a
conferience meeting Tuesday night of the
bricklayers' and stenemasons' unions, the
store fcundation of a building at Fort
Myer is being done by Contractor Mahoney
with non-unian stot emarons. The fact has
raleed a very serious qucsticn involving the
trade relations of the members of. the
bricklayers' and sicnemasor.s' unions.
The stone work is ndt yet ccmpleted, and
ur der an international law governing the
bridklayers' and stonemasons' organiza.
tiors, neither Is permitted to work upon
any job where non-union men of either
craft are employed.
The contract for the brickwork to be
erected upon the non-union work has been
secured by a Snion contractor, and the very
important questi)n of the employment of
union bricklayers is Involved.
At the meeting of the conference com
mittee of the two organizations it was
agreed, without dissension, that the brtek
layers should work upon the structure pend
ing the submission of the matter to the
Stonemasons' Union at their meeting to
night, when the whole subject will be ccn
s'dered and probably finally disposed of.
The question is of much importance to
the bricklayers, as favorable action of the
stonemasons will pravide employment for
fcrty or fifty bricklayers upon this struc
ture alcne.
If, however, the stonemasons should re
fuse to waive the international law in the
interest of the bricklayers, the latter will
be called from the work and non-union men
will be substituted. There Is .a disposition
on the part of the stonemasons to decide
the matter liberally and fairly, and it is
quite probable that the action of the con
ference committee will be approved and
all trouble averted.
PJOMPT VIRGINIA' JUSTICE.
Clark County People Want a Man
Identified Before He Dies.
Frank Tilford of the lumber firm of Tay
lor, Tilford & Davis has received word
from Berryville, Clark county, Va., that
illustrates the promptitude of Virginia jus
tice. Monday, as he was about to take the
early morning train for. Washington, as
published in The Star, a gang of negroes
assailed him at the Berryvile station and
demanded his watch, whereupon, having
his hand in his right-hand coat pocket and
his 'evolver in his hand, without more ado
he fired through the coat at his foremost
assailant. The whole gang ran, and one
fell on the other side of a fence. The train
came along in a moment, but the conductor
could not stop to investigate and brought
Mr. Tilford on to Washington, where he
has hold himself in readiness to answer for
his action.
Mr.Tilford has received word that the fel
low has been caught, as was published in
Wednesday's Star, and asking him to come
up and identify him. "He is shot in the
stomach," said the message. "and may die;
but if you will come up and identify him
we think we can lynch him before he dies."

Sent to Maryland.
John W. Reed, alias Johnson, was ar
rested today in this city and sent to Balti
more on a requisition from Gov. Brown,
charging him with having obtained money
under false pretenses in Baltimore June 21
last, from Columbus J. Stewart The man
was turned over to George W. Seibold, au
thorized agent of the state, by order of
Judge Cole.
Another requisition from Maryland, call
ing for Levi Poindexter, and charging him
with receiving property in Baltimore July
11 last, alleged to have been stolen from
Dominick Rtickenbacher, a jeweler, located
on G street, in this city, was also received.
Poindexter has been confined in the D~is
tr-tct jail for several weeks awaiting trial
on a charge of larceny from Rickenbacher.
On the ground that the identity of the
prisoner had not been clearly established,
Jtidge Cole refused to grant an order of
removal. Witnesses were sent for, how
ever, and it is expected that Poindexter
will be Identified and taken to Baltimore
late this afterncon.
Tu Set Aside a Sale.
A restraining order from the court was
today asked by John A. Hughes to prevent
his eviction from a store at 1700 Massachu
setts avenue by Timothy Gannon, Edward
S. Wetcott, Walter R. Wilcox and Michael
Shea. The petitioner sets forth that he
tented the premises November 14, 1893,
agreeing to pay $50 per month therefor,
and, after establishing a thriving grocery
trade, he goes on to say, Gannon made a
pretended sale of the property to Michael
Shea. This, he claims, was done in order
to Oust him, so that Gannon might set up
a business at the number mentioned, and
Thereby reap the benefits earned by the
endeavors of himself (Hughes). The court
is requested to set aside the sale, if it was
improper, and until that is decided to grant
a termporary restraining order preventing
the defendants from entering into posses
sion of the property.
The Bleeding Patient.
Willingham, the butcher who has been
suffering at the Emergency Hospital for
three days with hemorrhage of the nose, is
still very low. The doctors have not given
him up, and think that if there Is any ap
parent change in his condition, it indicates
a cessation of the bleeding. Yet the case
i. one which has small ground for encour
agement.
WVent Ayrny in a Hurry.
Elmer H. Alexander, a young man who
was employed at the Swiss dairy, has been
arrested at Frederick, Md., on a charge of
embezzling 364 of the funds of his em
ployer. and Detec'tive Carter will go there
to bring him here for trial. According to
the infcrmation received by the p~olice Al
exander has been keeping company with a
young lady and she was looking for him.
In order to get away from her he left and
went to Frederick. not waiting to turn over

FOR THE BLIND.
District Pupils in Maryland's School
for the Amieted.
The Secretary of the Interior received the
report today of F. D. Morrison, superin
tendent of the Maryland School. for the
Blind, at 220 East North avenue, Balti
more, in regard to the United States pupils
in that institution from the District of Co
lumbia. There are now in the Maryland
School for the Blind twenty-three District
pupils. Their expenses are paid by the
United States and the District out of what
is known as "the permanent indefinite fund.
which Is always available and does not de
pend on a regular yearly appropriation.
Thus these pupils escape the embarrass
ment that sometimes befalls many govern
ment beneficiaries and employes when the
appropriation necessary for their main
tenance or compensation fails of passage
by Congress.
The pupils now in the Baltimore school
are Eleanor Dougherty, Clinton Russell,
Thomas H. Maxwell. Susie .J. Duffy, Annie
Mundy, George Washington Jones, William
Somerville, Mabel Le Due, William Leary,
Ridgaway Arringdale, John Banks, M. Ade
line Trice, Wydie Tippett, Daisy R. Mc
Bride. Thomas Jackson, Theodora J. Hall,
Rodney A. Hawkins, Lora '. Carwile,
Mary V. Waters, Ida E. Crapster, Joseph
Doyle, jr., and James R. Ford.
Mr. Morrison says these pupils are prom
ising, and some possess more than average
ability. They are pursuing a regular dburse
of stuly, wh'ch commences with the kinder
garten for the younger childrenand includes
in the full course spelling, reading by touch
arithmetic, history, grammar, algebra,
geometry, natural philosophy, physiology,
music, instrumental and vocal, and har
mony; sewing (plain and machine),
crocheting, knitting (fancy and plain).
All do not show the same talent. If there
is no aptitude for music, that study is
dropped. The capabilities of each pupil
are studied and development on the lines
of special ability pursued.
One of the District pupils, James Trainer.
has completed the course in handicraft,
and is capable of earning his living either
as a piano tuner or a maker of mattresses.
The superintendent suggests that his term
in the school expire June 30, 1895. This
would leave twenty-two United States
pupils.
The school has a new three-story building,
eighty-two feet long, nearly ready for oc
cupancy. The school is nicely equipped for
its work, has several pianos and'a grand or
gan.

Speaking for Liquor.
John M. Kammeren of Cincinnati, na
tional orgarizer of the National Retail
Liquor Dealers' Association, spoke to a
large audience at Costello's Hall cn Wed
nesday afternocn.
"The liqror dealers oppose the abuse,
not the use of liqucrs," Mr. Kammeron
said. "Guiteau, the assassin, abhorred the
use of liquor, but he put a revolver to bad
use. Why is there not a universal outcry
against the manufacture of firearms? If
a man makes a beast of himself in the'use
of liquor, why not punish him; instead of
attempting to deprive nine-tenths of the
sober, temperate people of their means of
enjoyment?"
Mr. Ka'nmeron argued that there are
215,000 liquor dealers in the United States
who pay each an average tax of $750 a
'Year. The manufacturers use millions of
bushels of corn, hops, malt, wheat, rye
and potatoes to make the liquor consumed.
Yet it often happened, he said, that the
farmer was a prohibitionist. Mr. Kam
meron was of the opinion that he had
never met a prohibitionist who was not a
far.atic, a knave cr a hypocrite.

GENERAL MARKET - REPORTS
Specil Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, August 9.-There was noth
ing doing in the London market this morn
ing in Americansand all orders to arbitrage
houses here would not have aggregated
1,000 shares. There were no indications in
the early trading that the local market
would be any improvement upon yesterday's.
Saon af14r the opening, however, an im
pression amounting almost to a conviction
prevailed that the -Messrs. Crossman, who
were to have shipped upward of a million
gold to Europe tomorrow, would not ship,
and two other smaller houses, who had ar
ranged for the shipment of $500,0110, also
said they would not ship. This encouraged
the room traders to play for a rally, and
their. efforts were fairly successful, in that
the whole Jyt was very strong and ad
vanced ma liy, on much freer trading
than for some days past. The threatened
"frost scare" failed to materialise, the
weather map, as well as prices for grain,
proving too much for It.
Manhattan was easily the feature of the
trading, both in strength and activity.
The buying was at first put down to cover
ing of shorts, but the continued strength
and character ot the buying in It started
rumors of a deal by which a new party
would gain control of the property.
The movement in sugar was confined to
rarrow limits, fluctuations-being controlled
by minor operators, in the absence of all
of the well-known manipulatcrs.
Erie securities were all weak, owing to
rumors that the new reorganization plan
contemplates an assessment of $8 per share
on the. preferred, and $12 per share on the
comnon stock.
Telegraph resumed its place as an "ac
tive." and cut through 94 on the very best
kind of buying.
There is absolutely no change in the
sterling exchange from yesterday's prices.
Brokers quote tWe market extremely strong.
with no increase In the supply of bills.
Rates are firmly held except where gold
bills are offered. Actual rates for sterling
are: Cable transfers, 4im1-:1d 3-4; de
mand, 410 1-4a41801-2; sixty days, 4811-4a
49 1-2.
The New York subtreasury's regular
daily reports of operations show as fol
lows for the week: Total receipts, $1fa,
e,tMO. including S400,000 currency from
other offices of the Treasury 1epartment,
and $1.000,0x0 for currency certificates Is
sued, showing that some banks are pressed
for room In which to store their funds.
Total payments, $id16T00,000, Including 31,
225,000 sent to other o36ces of the depart
ment. On the regulpr business of the
treasury at the clearing house the latter
has therefore mai a gain of about $100,000,
but this was swallowed up by the
loss of $2,6|0,000 by the export of gold.
This loss will also absorb all of the possible
gain of $1,000,000 this week by the regular .
movement of currency.
The stock market continued strong
throughout the afternoon, the rally giving
every indication of lasting through to
morrow. Advices from the growing crops
are of the most favorable character, and
these coupled with the curtailed gold ship
ments cause a much better feeing in the
street and on the floor of the stock ex
change.
