DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
WHY AN OATH is REQUIRED.

81 notice." said Commissioner Douglass N
SrAR reporter today, that the SeI.tin.l c ais
upon the Commissioners 10 show by what au-
thority an applicant for liquor license is re-
quired to make an oath. The regulation re-
quiring an oath was made by our predecessors
and was in operation on the 2lst Of May, the
date of the organization Of the present board
and had been for the current year. The re-
quirement for the oath grows out OF the follow
ing language contained in the act of the ''legis-
lative assembly Of the District of Columbia,"
passed August %, 1871. and under which all
licenses Of every kind in the District are issued:
Sec. 2. And be il enacted, that every person
engaged in any trade, &C., for which a license
tax is imposed by the laws Of the District OF
Columbia. shall, at the time for procuring the
same, make application, &C., and shall state
under oath or affirmation such facts as may be
applicable to licenses, as, &c, specifying among
otner things bar rooms, sample rooms and
appling houses

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
An Interesting Morning Session-Many
Topics Discussed.

NEW YoRK, Oct 14-Bishop knight Of Mil
waukee presided at this mornings session Of
the Episcopal convention. Business on the
calendar was taken up. DR.. Huntington's mo-
ton for joint committee to prepare a stand
ard prayer book before 1892 was postponed
until later in the convention. DIR. Huntington
said that the plates for the prayer book were in
the possession of q London firm, and it would
be impossible to produce it this year. He
hoped that the standard prayer book would not
be issued before 1892.

Judd Of Chicago asking that the title Protest
ant Episcopal be omitted and the american
church" be substituted. 1t was referred to
the committee on the prayer book.
DIR. Phillips Brooks Of Massachusetts, called
attention to the fact that the 69th psalm had
been substituted for the Gath in the psalmist
and asked that as the matter had been doubt
less overlooked the change would be reconsid-
cred. The matter was postponed
Bishop Johnston Of Texas made q sensible
speech on missionary work. He disapproved
of the church's wasting timc ''tinkering canons
and patching the prayer book instead Of
equipping men to fight the good fight.
Bishop Leonard Of Utah spoke on Nor
monism.
Bishop Kendrick Of New Mexico spoke urging
irrigation as redemptive necessity in his do
cese. The morning session then adjourned.

PERMIT CLERK M'DEVITT.
An Investigation in Progress and Prose-
cutiOn Probable.

The case Of Permit Clerk McDevitt, who is
charged with obtaining money from plumbers
while he was in the employ of the District, as
stated in Saturdays STAR, is creating great
deal Of talk at the District building.
The indications are, it is stated, that the
amount obtained by him in this manner is
large. The investigation is being pushed and
already the clerk who is going over his books
announces the discovery of several discrepancies
and there is no telling how much the amount
will foot up after all the books have been ex-
amined. Several Of Mr.. McDevitt's friends have
come forward ready and anxious to make
good any deficit, but as yet nothing toward
settling the matter has been done. The mat
ter is still in the hands Of the
prosecuting attorney for the Dis
trict There is likely to be some
trouble in getting warrant out for McDevitt's
arrest, if the case is to be prosecuted, as sew
eral Of the plumbers who have paid money to
him refuse absolutely to swear out a warrant.
The matter will be thoroughly discussed at
board session this afternoon, and if necessary
Capt Lusk will probably be instructed to
swear out warrant.
Capt. Lusk has been giving the matter con.
siderable attention and 1t is considered more
than probable that before the case is settled
some sensational developments will be brought
to light

ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE.


With the certainty that there IL to be no
extra session and that they will serve their
terms out, the present officers Of the House
discuss with some complacency the prospects Of
the several candidates for their respective
places
The speakership possibilities are also dis
cussed knowingly at the Capitol, where mem
bers are sure to 60 when they come to WASH
ington and where there is little Of interest
except remote political possibilities to talk
about The sages Of the Capitol, whether
they. like Reed or not, agree pretty
well in the opinion that he will be the next
speaker. They are nearly all ready TO risk their
reputation as prophets upon this prediction.
The reason usually advanced ia that the party
cannot AFFORD to turn Reed down"
As to the officers Of the House there are two
or three things regarded as pretty certain. Nc
Kee OF Indiana is expected to be postmaster,
Adams OF Maryland, McComss' man, to be door
keeper and Col. John NJ. Carson Of the Phila-
delphia Ledger clerk. Swords Of Iowa is re-
garded as possibility for sergeant-at-arms

REPRESENTATIVE RANDALL
Getting Over the Fatigue Of His Trip
VIII be Ready for Work in Congress.

Representative Randall is pretty nearly over
the fatigue Of his trip to Washington and is
feeling better today than he has for some time He
does not feel bad and his physician and friends
do not think that there il anything in the least
alarming in his condition. He ID still in bed,
because it is thought best that he should get as
much rest as possible. He is an inveterate
worker and as soon as he gets about he is apt
to pitch in to work again. For that reason his
physician wants to keep him in bed a. long a.
possible.
There il no notion on the part Of those
familiar with his case that he will be disabled
for activity during the coming session Of Con-
gress. He is cheerful and says that he will be
at work as usual when Congress meets.
There is no doubt of his being at the head Of the
minority Of the appropriations committee,
where his long experience will be of great value.
While the work on that committee il hard his
familiarity with it will make it less difficult for
him than work on any other committee, and it
is his expectation to 60 there.
