in the case of comrade Ward, of Hoxie
and Hon. E. J.Turner, who had promised
themselves such a pleasure. The two
stoves failed to warm the hall, and it was
quite late before the program began,
Comrade Opfer could have found moth
ing more appropriate to open the exer.
cises than the 'HStar Spangled Banner
which he executed npon his accordion.
Past Commander Robb's address OF
welcome was heartily given, but the
many Interruptions caused it to TAIL OF
being fully appreciated. The response,
by Judge s. j. Osborn, was blending OF
touching sentiments, and laughable army
incidents. His reference to the ladies'
help being luxury the boys lacked at
their camp fires, was as the sounding OF
melodious chord in phrase already
resonant with music. Master Jesse Kes-
sler's violin solo was we'll rendered, and
added much to the program. An essay
on "The women of the United States"
was next read by Miss G.. Stickney, and
was well received A Grand Army song
was given by Miss J. Burns and Mrs.
Lorimer, and thoroughly enjoyed. In
reply to the toast, ''The Soldiers of West
ern Kansas" Hon. w. s. Tilton credited
the development of western Kansas to
the efforts of the soldiers, whose army
experiences had fitted them for pioneer
life; and that, as large share of the vet
Grams had settled in the West, their efforts
should be encouraged. The reading of
poem, entitled "The Sentinel" by Miss
Nina York, followed, but was heard by
few only, owing to the noise in the room.
At the close of the program two long ia
bles were spread, and all partook of a
nice supper, the pork and beans, crack
ers and tin-cups alone reminding the vet
Grams of the past. Supper ended, congre-
gational singing was INDUCED in, and la
ter the dancers took possession of the
floor.
In addition to the flags decorating the
rough walls, Mrs. Robb furnished the
small anchor of green leaves, which hung
in front, and small bouquet for the al
tar. A more successful and pleasant re-
union could not have been expected, con-
sidering the severe weather.

lowed the Ohio Senatorial Caucus.
Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 2O.-The testimony
before the Payne investigating committee
yesterday OF MIR. Fierce was. very un-
satisfactory to the committee. The exami-
nation was searching and Mr.. Fierce
admitted that he had borrowed money of Mr..
Fendleton before the October election. but
Claimed that he had repaid it. He emphatically
denied that he had pledged himself to vote
for Mr.. Pendleton. The most damaging
testimony that came out yesterday was that
OF Mr.. Hanna, who had q room in
Brown Bros building on north Sd street.
Messrs. Roach and Mooney, OF the Cleveland
delegation, had rooms In the same building,
and Mr.. Hanna opened the room for them
when they returned from the caucus
Both OF these members were much
under the influence of liquor and did not arrive
at their room until nearly o'clock in the
morning. Mr.. Hanna remained in the room for
some time. The gentlemen emptied their
in a hat. and the work Of dividing it
from the caucus. < large sum was divided.
and finally there was q $50 bill, an odd one
which both claimed and over the possession
OF which Mooney and Roach nearly came to
blows. Hanna interfered and prevented O
hight. The testimony Of Hanna was corrobo-
rated by Mr.. Brown.
The Dalton contempt case is now being hea nd

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR TO TRY ANOTHER

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2O.-The Knights of Labor. of
this city, are preparing for another move upon
the street car companies, with the object of OBJ
tanning better pay and shorter working hours
for the employees OF the lines. The weapon thev
will use this time will be the boycott, and it Is
expected that by its use they will be more sue
ces>ful In obtaining the concessions they desire
from the street railway companies than thew
were last October, when they relied upon gem
eral strike to accomplish their ends. 1t has
been learned from NJ. w. Sullivan, master
workman of District Assembly No IL, which
includes the st. Louis knights Of Labor lodges.
that this plan OF action had been greed upon
AMI that II would be put into operation very
soon, with all the knights OF st. Louis enlisted
In It's execution. One road is TO be boycotted at
"A time and brought tn terms if the boycott is
successful The executive committee OF the
knights has not decided when the boycott is to
begin, but it is said the time will be set about
the middle Of March, and that the 9TH street
line OF the st. Louis railway will he the first
boycOtted.

Senator Platt, chairman of the Senate COM

reporter to-day, on the subject OF an interna-
tional copyright law, said: 81 don't think there
is any difference of opinion among practical
men as TO the principal features Of such law.
There are some theoretical people who remind
me Of the New York mugwumps, in that they
want everything their own way, VINO insist
upon certain ideas, but the authors, the publish

Of interested parties, think pretty well agree.
There is general assent, SO tar as can see to the
printers proposition that a book copyrighted In
this country should be printed here"
Mr.. Platt said that Senator Hawley intends to
appear before the committee and explain his
views upon the question as he has introduced
an international copyright till. Also that the
committee will request Librarian Spofford to
appear and give them information as to what
rights or courtesies an American publisher can

Major Merrill's Nomination Withdrawn
SOUTHERN SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES
AGAINST HIM.

AGAINST HIM.
1t is stated that the withdrawal of the NOM
ination OF Major Merrill, 7th cavalry, for pro-
motion to be lieutenant colonel, was the result
Of the opposition of Senators from South Caro-
lima and Louisiana and Representative BIanch-
ard, of Louisiana, on account of his activity
during reconstruction and kuklux times. Major
Merrill was at the head OF the list of majors. but
had been found incapacitated for active duty
Dy retiring board, although not yet retired.
The only Information vouchsafed at the War
department regarding the withdrawal of his
nomination is that the President holds that If
he is incapacitated for the duties of a major
he is unfit to perform those OF lieutenant colo
mel Although there are numerous instances
OF promotion while awaiting retirement, it is
understood that il is the intention of the Presi-
dent to establish q precedent which will make
such cases impossible in the future.

sented themselves before the civil service COM
mission, without disclosing, as the application
blanks require, the fact that they had been dis
missed for misconduct The rules do not
allow person dismissed for miscon-
duct to be examined within two years
thereafter. The commission now makes cal re-
full inquiries as to the causes of dismissal It
has discovered two cases OF persons examined
who were dismissed for intemperance within
them for appointment They will, therefore,
gain nothing by their examination. This course
viii be pursued in every case Of the kind In the
future. The commission declines to give the
names of the two persons referred to. In case
OF future frauds Of the kind 1t may give the
names.
