was one of the most important in its history.
The attendance of members was the largest and
the accession of new members was the most
numerous since its organization and in many
ways the widely representative character OF the
membership was notable. The District Of Co.
lumbia delegates are warm in their praise OF
the hospitality and consideration extended to
them.
Mcssrs. Henry Wise Garnett and George F.
Appleby, also of the District delegation, stopped
on the way home to visit friends in the west.
TALK WITH Mr.. MORSE.
Mr.. Morse, in conversation with a STAR re-
porter, spoke in high praise of Chicago and
Chicago people. He thinks it wonderful city.
composed Of progressive people who hold to-
gsther.
"A suggestive lesson" he said, ''may be
gathered from the fact that whatever tends to
the advancement, the progress and the glorif-
cation OF the city seems actively to interest
every man, woman and child in Chicago When
1t ID a question of improvement-natural, phys
ical, social or intellectual-every man. woman
and child Immediately enlists in the cause.
Cne OF the gratifying characteristics is that
there are no soreheads, pullbacks or kickers
against the march of improvement, or, If there
are, they are not heard or needed, as they too
often are in some other cities. The citizens
speak confidently and say that there is no
doubt but that the international exposition of
1892 will be held there. Although one may
not agree with them that Chicago is the best
location for an international exposition and COM
memoration such as that contemplated in 1892,
yet one cannot but admire the living, active in
terest which every Chicagoan takes in this en-
terprise. The first thing on our arrival we
were interviewed as to this matter. Naturally
we pointed to Washington as the obviously
proper site for the exposition. The impression
left on the minds Of the delegates after talking
with some Of the people on this subject was
that Chicagoans would be delighted to advo-
cate Washington if there was no chance for
Chicago"

A NEW CIRCLE.
Robbed by His Room Mate.

A Baltimorean named James Wilbur was in
the Police Court to-day on a charge Of grand
larceny. W. B. Sullivan, slater, was the COM
planning witness. Sullivan came to this city in
January last He had not been here long
before he met Wilbur, who is a pensioner.
Together they went to Mrs. Hurley's lodging
house where they rented q room for
tn, night. In the morning when Sulli-
van was called to breakfast he arose
and discovered that his room mate had
departed. He soon afterward ascer tanned
that his (Sullivans) watch and chain were also
missing. Detective Carter investigated the
case and suspected Wilbur of the theft, but the
latter could not be found. The watch subse-
quently turned up in the hands of colored
man named Morgan who described Wilbur as
the man from whom he had purchased it. Several
times Baltimore was searched for Wilbur, but
he was not found until Saturday when Detective
Droste arrested him. Yesterday the prisoner
was brought here by Detective Carter. He told
the officer where he sold the chain and said
that he expected to get two years.
The case was tried in the Police Court this
afternoon and sent to the grand jury.

POLICEMEN'S PISTOLS,
Officer Cutters Alleged Reckless Use Of
His Revolver Being Investigated.

In the ninth police precinct, in East Washing
ton there is a policeman named Cutler whose
record OF arrests probably outnumber that of
any other officer in that section. On more than
one occasion he has been called upon to explain
his actions in making arrests, either before the
Police Court or the police trial board. The Off
GERS too free of his club has been the cause
of most of his trouble. Now his use of his re-
volver is being investigated by thu police de-
partment. He discharged his weapon near LIST
and H streets northeast about o'clock
Saturday night, and the fact that somebody was
not killed is more the result of good luck than
good management, for at that hour there are
usually many persons on the streets in that
vicinity, especially Saturday nights. when per-
sons are going to and returning from market.
SAYS HE FIRED AT A BURGLAR.
Exactly under what circumstances the shot
was fred is not known except from the state
ment of Officer Cutler. He claims that he fired
at a burglar. He says that he had been sent for
by person employed by the railroad COM
cars had been robbed. He sent
his psrtner-Oficer Hodges-on one side of
the car, while he (Cutler) went ON the other
side. While walking near the train he says he
saw burglar jump from one of the cars. He
called to the burglar halt" but the latter
Policeman Hodges was badly frightened, but
fortunately the bullet did not strike him.
OTHER CASES OF RECKLESS SHOOTING RECALLED.
During the past two or three years there has
been number OF cases Of reckless shooting by
policemen. In some instances the shots were
fred at or to brighten persons charged only
with violating District ordinance. Fortunately
for the officers who do the shooting. none of
the escaping prisoners have been killed. 1t
is also fortunate that no citizen has been killed
by this reckless handling of pistols. 1t has not
been many months since a special officer killed
a young man on Ohio avenue. His plea was
that he attempted to discharge the weapon
in the air, but that he slipped
and accidentally shot the young man. There
was another case in which an officer shot man
whom he thought was guilty of stealing a
bird from house OF i'll fame
1t turned out tina. the young
man was not guilty of the theft.
He escaped from the officer and while fleeing
was shot in the hip. The case was heard and
the young man was acquitted of the charge of
theft The officer was tried for the shooting
and he was also acquitted

CASE OF HENRY PRILLER.
Statement of Waterman Frank McEntee
of the Washington Asylum.

Last Saturday Waterman Frank McEntee Of
the Washington asylum, who was on duty when

sioners and submitted the following story Of
the case:
There came to the aims house about noon
August 20 an old man in the police
ambulance, and the driver did not
find any one in the Office but an inmate
both in and outside was on my way to the Of
fee about this time Gas the man in the build
ing with me leaves for dinner about noon)
when heard my name called and
went to the Office and found this
old man and ambulance driver there. He said
he did not have permit for him, but Mr..
day. Asking the old man his name.
found he could not speak English, but was
German. Then called German girl from

down on slip of paper as follows:
Henry J. Priller, sixty-eight q had to guess
at this as he said it was thirty-five), widower,
sixth precinct, Germany, and then went with
it to Mr.. Stoutenburgh, who took it
IT in his hand and read il, and he asked me
what was the matter with him. / told him he
was old and feeble and thought little cranky
and then returning to the Office / sent him
down TO dinner, after that a bath aud then gave
him his bed, and then at / o'clock returned to
some work l was doing outside and did not
get back to the Office until 4 o'clock
or Whereabouts to allow the man in the house
with me to go home, as il was his evening
of duty and about the first thing heard about
Henry Priiler after receiving him at noon was
he had taken an inmates coat and gone down In
the back yard with it. then went to the back of
the house and called some of the men in the
yard to know if the old man was down there and
their answer was that he had lust
gone down the footwalk, and I then
turned 70 come to the Office to send some
one after him, when an inmate said as he was
coming up from the back OF the grounds he
saw the old man down in the lane which
is Just back Of the building. / imme-
diately sent two men in search of him
and told them to bring him back and sent
word to Mr.. Stoutenburgh by his daughter.
Al abe was over to the ONCE on an errand
at the time. I first asked her If her
father was at home and she said he was.
/ then awaited the return of the men and also
orders from Mr.. Stoutenburgh. but did not re.
ceive any Michael Cavanaugh, one OF the
men. returned before dusk and said
he could not find the old man,
James II. DAVIS did not return until dusk and
said he traced him up this side of the big sewer
I then went TO the intendants house and sen,
word in TO Mr.. 6toutenburgh that the mar
could not be found. then waited further or.
ders from him but have not received them
yet"

THE PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE.
The South Capitol Street Enterprise
Talked Over Again this Afternoon.

The talk about the proposed bridge across
the Eastern branch at the foot of South Capitol
street, and the road thence through the Dis
trict and Prince George county, Nd,
has excited considerable attention, at least
among a certain class Of people. These are
bridge builders, road contractors, and Others
who think they see q golden opportunity to
serve themselves and incidentally the public.
When Mr.. A. K. Browne, president Of the
bridge and road association, called the
parlors of the American house this afternoon
at o'clock he had a large, package Of letters
from contractors in his hand.
He remarked that he had been overwhelmed
with such communications, and thought it was
a good sign, as all these people would help
them get the bridge.
There was general discussion Of the
bridge question, turning largely on the
question whether the bridge should be on
direct line with South Capitol street
which would carry it across the stream diagon-
ally or should go directly across the stream
leaving South Capitol street at an angle.
THE TALK WITH CAPT. sYMoNs.
Mr.. r. ]. Beall, who was chairman Of the
committee to wait on the Commissioners and
secure a survey Of the proposed extension,
of South Capitol street reported that Capt
Symons had stated that as soon as the
work of extending the lines of Pennsylvania
pleted the surveyors would be put on the work
ON South Capitol street.
DOWN ON THE MAPS.
Mr.. Pelham, who was a member of the COM
mittee, said he had discovered on maps OF
the engineer Office that the enterprise
which the association had at heart was already
w or
tiles, and that the line Of the
bridge and OF the extension of South Capitol
street south of the river to the District line had
been marked down on maps. He felt assured
by what was said to him that it was the inten-
ton OF the District authorities to give the people
of that section this bridge and road. Mr.. Pei
ham was in favor of going in and pulling
strongly for the bridge and letting the question
OF the location of the road settle itself.
Ii they got a bridge the road was sure
to follow; He proposed having a
met providing for the bridge and not to en-
barrass the matter by any controversy over
the location Of a road.
STRAIGHT OR DIAGONAL.
Mr.. Beall did not approve yielding alto
gether to the opinion of the engineer officer as
to the direction of the bridge.
Capt. Symons, he said, had stated that no
bridge could be built across the stream unless
1t went straight across. which would take it
ont of the line of South Capitol street.
EMr. Pelham thought they ought
not to antagonize the engineer off-
GERS. Mr.. Beali he said could
get the river to run the way
he wanted it to. He thought it best that they
should approve any plans the engineer favored
SO long as it provided them with good bridge.
Messrs. Pelham and Beall were exchanging
compliments on the question OF bridges and
engineer officers when HE STARS report
closed

THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Signs Of Grumbling Among the Strikers,
But No Serious Disaffecrion.


LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE great strike is still in
| force and the situation of affairs this morning
may be said to be unchanged. Neither side
has made a move yet today and it is not given
| to say now what the day may bring forth.
There are signs Of grumbling among the
strikers over the division of the relief funds.
The stevedores complain that they are not re-
ceiving their proper share Of the funds; But
the men generally stand firm and there Is
| nothing like serious disaffection in the ranks.
Three thousand tailors struck this morning
and are parading the streets. The dock COM
panies express themselves as better SATISFIED
with the aspect Of affairs. They have an IN
creased number Of men at work COM
posed of strikers who have given up
the fight and the new men. The
officials of the companies state that plenty OF
labor would be obtainable If the strikers pick
| cts were abolished. 1t is asserted that there is
| a split among the strikers, and that small
committee has been appointed looking to the
abandonment Of the strike.
sRoehester,coa whippers and barge men
visited a large number of vessels in the River
Midway and forcibly compelled the men at
work thereon to cease operations.
THE STRIKERS ENCOURAGED.
DUNDEE, Sept "A trades union congress
in session in this city has adopted resolu-
tions to the effect that the London strikers
were justified in their demands and
that the employers were arbitrary in their ac-
tons. The congress also called upon the
various trades of the united kingdom to render
the strikers all possible financial support The
mention of John Burns name was loudly ap-
plauded.
NEW woRKMEN DRIVEN AWAY.
A mob composed of about eight hundred
strikers invaded the Albert docks this after
noon and compelled the workmen there to
cease their iabors. No damage was done to
property.

Iaurice Adier's Feeble Pu

People who knew nothing about the case very
persistently aided in spreading rumor yester-
day to the effect that Maurice Adler was much
better-in fact, was on the high way to recovery.
There was q temporary improvement yester-
day, but by night it had passed away-wiped
out by a chill which made its appearance at 8
o'clock pm. The pulse went down to 100. but
it was so weak as to be barely recognized; it
was the most feeble pulse in the history Of
the case. Temperature and respiration are
about the same as they have been for week
past. Throughout the night Adler slept fairly
we'll and there was but one small dose Of NOR
phine administered.
The patient has no greater desire for food
than heretofore, but the attendants do not
have 30 much trouble in persuading him to take
the necessary amount of nourishment. An i'm
provement otherwise than of the most tenn
porary character is not looked for by the most
sanguine of the physicians, and il it comes 1t
will be regarded as miraculous.
DIR. Gross, who applied TO be allowed to treat
Adler, called upon DR.. Bayne and made his
proposition, but the latter said that he (Bayne)
would continue to treat the sick man unless re-
ieved at the request Of Adler's friends.
