Iloosevelt Ordered tlie Scarlet- ' Coated Gentlemen to Discourse Sweet, iiut-ic at the Lecture, But Soon Found That in Doing bo He Vns Doing "Wrong. The management of the Universal Postal CongrCfcS has rtm Into one more washout. It has'become tangled up with the Marine Band and organized labor. The commit tee of arrangements for the Pictorial Con tinental Transit, to be given by Post office Inspector John P Clum at the New National Theater on Monday night, for the entertainment of the Postal Congress, de bired to have the Marine Band play during the show. This committee waited on At, Blttant Secretary Roosevelt and made itb request. "Certainly," said Mr. Roose velt. He Issued an order that the hand should attend the lecture Organised labor heard of this. H also heard, that although the members of the Postal Congress, President, Cabinet, and Justices of the Supreme Court were invited guests, yet the general public was expected to pay the usual price for admittance to the show. Then organized labor re minded the Navy Department that it had been agreed that the .Marine Band was not to be ordered out in aid of any Invest ment enterprise. Then the Navy Depart ment recollected that this was so. Yes terday Assistant Secretary Roosevelt re Yoked the order he had Issued, and last night It appeared that the Marine Band would not play, though efforts are being made by the managers of the Postal Con gress lecture to have the second action of llr. Roosevelt undone. All the invitations 6ent to the delegates have been accepted, and the whole con gress will unbend its dignity, dress itself In swell clothes, with necklaces, ribbons and swords, a"nd give the people of Wash ington a chance to look it over. Many of the delegates will be accompanied by their ladies. The diplomatic corps will also at tend and the private boxes will be occu pied by President McKinley and the mem bers of the Cabinet The committee of arrangements Is endeavoring to make this a very swell affair and It is .said at the rostofrtrcDepurtmentthatlnbpecUrClum, who is to be the hero of the occasion, has consented to wear a white collar and a pair of cuffs.

SECRET CONFERENCE" HELD Messrs. Dolliver, Corliss, Tawuoy iinrt Other, Put on War Paint and Propobe to Rent HouseH for the Summer-Mr. Diugley Temporizing-Where Thlfeu-Schedale Hurts. "Well, gentlemen, w might as well rent houses for the summer;" was a inopoition which was assented fo by a number of Republicans who met Ja1 secret ec-nclnvcln a committee mom of the Capitol un Thurs day afternoon. It wasfonly a new way cf saying that they intended to light It out all summer, the subject of the conference being the tax on tea imposed by the Senate At this conference were Mr. Dolliver, Mr. Dingley, Mr. Tawney, Mr. Coiliss and some others. Two of these present had been telegraphed to lor 'ti.e puiposes of the meeting. It has been felt by Republicans ever since the reporting o"f the-. tariK bill bj the Senate committed that a serious blunder was made when tea was taken from the free list It was argued at the the time the bill was being prepared under the supervision of Mr Dingley that the placing of a tax on this article would be directly in opposition,- in the main, to the theory of protection, that Is, of home industries. It was argued then, as It is now, that tea is- not a produc-t of the United Statesand that there was no detriment to any home industry by keeping it on the -free list. The levying of a tax on it, it was said, was an ad vantage to be taken of every class of people lu the United States, and es pecially tgainet the poorer class, and that the effect of it would be, politically, very serious on the Republican party Mr Dingley hud reported a bill which he thought would raisesufficicnt revenue, and yet a 10 per cent tax was laid on tea, the most unpopular levy that could have been made. The object of this conference was to dis cuss this tax on tea. It resulted In the determination of all. present, including some of the most representative Repub licans, to fight the tac when it camu back to the House. One exprcs!on of opinion which was indorsed was that such a tariff snoukl not go through, even at the cost of the whole tariff bill, Mr. Dingley, of course, did not express himself so radically, but he is opposed to the tax He was rather In favor of tem porizing and defeating the obnoxious sched ule by reason, and In conference, than in pro-cipitatlng a fight in the House. He understands the danger of the situation considering the aid to be expectrd from the solid Dcmocratfc opposition , and knows that the indefenslbllltv of the tax -nill cause a greate-r defection among the Re-1 puDiicanstnaa is represented by those who attended this conference. Mr. 'Dolliver was called upon by a re porter of The Times at the Hamilton yes terday afternoon and an attempt was mode to get from him the plans of the opposition in general terms. Mr. Dolliver declined to be interviewed, although he was told of the reports which ha leaked dntrfromthls con ference. All he would sa5"r however, was significant. He said thaj; there had not been a tax oh" tea. filnce the war lndleatii:r very plainly -what he thought should be the j Wctj AM CROCKER'S- A Steady Stream Shoe Buyers. MBA m Men's $3 Shoes, $1.98.

A. $5 value for 939 TEN GIRLS OH A BIG LARK They Took an Impromptu Ride iu a Stonecutter's Wagon. One of the X.nssie Played Jehu uud the Colored Driver Thought It a. Great JoUe. A luncheon was given to ten lively youmj girls on Wednesday afternoon In a certain ied brick dwelling on ; Eleventh btreet ju-t above?C, northwest. It waspresuiuafjly a success, judging ircm the satlcfied and Jubilant appearance of the girls when they rubhed out ou the irocti.oiLu, giving tlie house a maikcd resemblance to a le uiale seminary There wcie all sorts, the tall, the shoit, the lean, the stout, and a chariuiig picture thej made, giouped in an affectionate schoolgiil manner, each munching abalineorolive. All vrent well until theze anived on the scene a stonecutter's wagon, drawn by a handsome .specimen of horseflesh, driven by a riegio man. The wagon drew up m front of a 1 oute a few doors above the teinale seminary, and the dusky driver weut beiow to bee Mary Jane. The girls made a -wild rush for the deeerted con veyance. There was a pause and a little ' argu fication' between them, when suddenly a tall, dignified young lady, diesscdin black, mounted the diiver's box, and, with feet swinging in the air and a most businesh iike manner, grasped the lines and shouted: "All aboard " Evpry girl mounted that wagon and with numerous shrieks and hysterical shouts of laughter clung to one another in tht-ir efforts to retain their footing, as with a pull at the reins the big grey stepped boldly on with his load of human freight. One slender young miss in bicycle attire fell flat across the dusty wagon, but the fair maiden who handled the nutans smiled not, nor heeded the cries to stop, but rattled on. over the cobblestones. The shouts aud laughter o the girls, and tl'e rumbling noise of the old wagon drew every head to windows and doors, and the conductors and drivers on the "Belt Line" even drew rein to give the passengers a chance to see the "Passing Show." To add to the excitement, the dusky driver made his appearance on the cene, and, seeing Avhat had occurred, imme diately gave chase- The faster he ran the more the girl with the ribbons clucked at the horse aud urged htm on. There 13 no telling -where it would have ended had not the street beeu obstructed When the girls found the driver was catching them they started to run, but did not wish to deceit their friend on the box, who could not get down without as sistance. The driver considered It a good. Joke, and not only helped the drier "pro tern." from Iht elevated position, but drove all the young ladies back to the "female semi nary."
