THE GEORGETOWN LEVEL.
Business Men Waiting for the Conference
to be Held Tomorrow.

Canal matters were quiet in Georgetown to-
day. Since yesterday no attempt has been
made to secure the promise of any further sub
scriptions to be devoted to helping the canal
company out on the repairing of the George
town level. Everybody is waiting for the meet
ing of interested parties tomorrow when it is
hoped that in some manner or other a scheme
will be arranged by which the waterway can be
rebuilt from one end to the other. The feeling
is a very hopeful one.
This afternoon, if President Gambrill can be
found in Georgetown, the millers' committee
will have a conference with him as to how they
are to deal with the canal directorate to-
morrow. They want to know whether or not
he has paved the way for them, and they also
want to know whether there is a possibility of
the canal managers being able to help them
selves little in this matter.
For time it was thought probable that an
appeal would be made to the District Commits
sioners, but that idea has been effectually dis
sipated by recently-acquired knowledge of
the fact that the Commissioners were powerless
to do anything in their official capacity. There
Is no fund from which they could draw a cent
to be expended on the canal. The meeting
tomorrow will be held at the office of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal company, on 3lst,
near NJ street, and it will commence at 10
o'clock

1t is Not Yet known Whether Any Lives
Were Lost.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-The Western line pro-
peller Chicago and the schooner Pensaukee met
about l6 miles of Point Betsy Sunday after
noon In the fog. The Chicago was coming up
and the Pensaukee going down. The pro-
peller got nearly out of the way before the
schooner struck her. but the latters jib-boom
played havoc with her after-port quarter car

upper works. and disabling her steering gear.
The offending jib-boom and head gear went uy

was soon lost in the fog. The steamer began
sounding four whistles, to guide any small boat
that might come from the schooner. but none
came. Instead, the steamer c. S. Parnell heard
the signals miles away, and hunted out the
Chicago in the fog. and brought the news here.
The Chicago reported the mishap to the life
saving crew at two rivers and then came on to
Milwaukee. The Pensaukee had not been heard
from up TO midnight, but it is believed she will

GETTING POINTS IN CHICAGO.
An Attache of the Chinese Legation and
His New Secretary Making Inquiries.

An Associated Press dispatch from Chicago
to-day says Chan Fan Moore, secretary to
Chan Foo, Chinese minister at Washington,
arrived in tine city Sunday morning and left
last evening for San Francisco. With him were

called to China for promotion the minister

peror intends to reorganize the police and fire

show in this direction. Under charge of Cap
tain Fitzpatrick and other officials he was
shown the workings of the two departments

the patrol system. The suite will sail from
San Francisco for Canton July Is. Mr.. Heller
said last evening that it would not be long be-
fore steam fire engines, patrol wagons, and
electric fire and police alarms would be in full
operation in the fowery kingdom.
Mr.. Isaac Cans is in Washington, and the use
of his name in the press dispatches as being in
Chicago is supposed to be due to a case of mis-
taken identity.
Chan Fan Moore is attached to the Chinese
minister's suite translator and not as Sec
retary. He left recently to go to China A STAR
reporter who made inquiry at the legation was
told that nothing was known there of his investi-
cations of the police and fire systems in Chicago.
Nor was anything known there of Mr. Heller,

tary. Mr.. Heller was recently lecturer at the

Denials from the Navy Department.

1t is denied at the Navy department that the
crew of the Vandalia, one of the vessels
wrecked at Samoa, have been discharged from
the service without pay allowances, because of
the death of Paymaster Armes and the loss of
the ships books which contained their ac-
counts. Navy department officials say there
have been no discharges of enlisted men be-
longing to the ships wrecked at Samoa, except
some especial service" men Stewards cooks,
servants, &C., living on the Pacific coast, who
may have been discharged since their arrival
at San Francisco. All others would have been
transferred to the receiving ship at Mare
Island. The accounts of the Trenton and Nip
sic were saved, SO that there has been no diff
Guilty in issuing money to the crews of those
ships. The Vandalias accounts were lost, new
rolls were therefore opened, dating from the
time of the disaster. and there have been is
sues of money due the men since that date.

VOTING ON PROHIBITION.
The Question Whether Pennsylvania
Shall be Wet or Dry.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1s.-The people of the
state of Pennsylvania are voting to-day on the
question of Incorporating an amendment pro-
hibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the state constitution. From a
careful diagnosis of the situation, it is believed
that the proposed amendment will be defeated
by a majority of not less than 10000
Probably no political campaign in the his
tory of the state has been more vigorously
conducted than has that of the advocates of
temperance. Nightly meetings have been held
in every county running up into thousands,
and eloquent speakers have been brought from
near and far to impress upon the people the
advantages of total prohibition. The liquor
interest has been equally active. and between
the two parties good many barrels Of money
have been spent. The campaign has had the
active aid of Postmaster-Genera Nanamaker
who has worked vigorously on the side of the
prohibitionists, and the cause of the latter has
also been championed by tens of thousands Of
the gentler sex. An amendment abolishing
the poli-tax qualification for voters viii also be
voted upon to-day.
QUIET ELECTION.
From early indications the election TO-DAY
promises to prove one of the quietest in long
while. At most Of the polls there were few or no
people outside of those actually engaged in re-
ceiving the votes, and the ballots were coming
in slowly. The prohibitionists had arranged
for very lively day. A novelty in many wards
was the presence of women who took fairly
active part.
