AnaCOStia Notes.

To the Editor Of The Sunday Herald:
We had here in Anacostia last Saturday night
great Democratic meeting, of which Mr..
Arthur Mclean was chairman. Mr.. Mclean
made brief address, and introduced the speak
ers, Mr.. j. Adam Bede and Mr.. j. Harry Shan
non, both of whom made stirring addresses,
which had the desired effect upon several voters
from the Fifth Maryland District who were
present.
The new Masonic Hall was dedicated Tuesday
night, and the affair was celebrated by grand
ball and supper. Mrs G. j. James received the
ladies in the reception-room on the second floor,
and was assisted by very able corps Of assist
ants. At $50 Tabners orchestra, composed of
members of the Marine Band, played the grand
march, and, headed by Mr.. and Mrs. G. j..
James, the five hundred couples marched around
the hall and inspected the building. The hall
was lighted in all four stories and was magnif-
Gently decorated the decorations being flags
and flowers. Financially and socially it was
one of the greatest successes of the season.

A Contract Labor Question.

The question has again been presented to the
Treasury Department as to whether the prac-
tice of employing aliens from Canada at Nor
folk, Va, in handling cotton for export is not
in violation of the alien contract labor law
The agent reports that while these men un-
doubtedly goto Norfolk with an understanding
that they will be given work it is almost i'm
possible to obtain proof to that effect 1t is
said at the Treasury Department that the law
does not apply to foreigners who come to this
country voluntarily in search of work, but only
to such as are sent for, or who come under a
contract, express or implied. The great diff
Guilty in the present instance is to prove the ex-
istence of any sort of a contract or agreement
There are at present over twenty foreigners en-
gagged at Norfolk in handling cotton for Eng
lish houses who are said to be so employed in

BEAUTIFUL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Unprecedented Display I'm This City
To-Morrow.
The chrysanthemum season has opened, and
all society will be wearing these flowers, in
colors to suit their complexion or taste, until
the last have faded. The annual chrysanthe-
mum show OF j. H. Small & Son, which is an
important event for society people in Washing
ton, will be opened tomorrow. Their establish
ment, corner of Fourteenth and streets, will
be handsomely decorated and stocked with the
finest collection of royal chrysanthemums that
has ever been put on exhibition. These flowers
are finer this year, Mr.. Small says than he has
ever seen them before and they are more than
ever "fad" with society. Something out of
the usual line of display is promised.
A number of new varieties of chrysanthmums
which have never before been on exhibition
will be displayed. Among them is one named
after President Harrison, which is exquisite IL
is larger than any on exhibition last year, and
is shaded from crushed strawberry to red. A
beautiful white flower is named after Miss
Minnie Wanamaker, and probably the finest in
the collection is one named after Mrs. w. Bow
ers 1t is old gold and cardinal and each
blossom has spread of about six inches
About two hundred other varieties will be on
exhibition.
Some of the examples of skilful designing in
flowers will be remarkable. In the front win
dow there will be a floral model of the Capitol
building and the lawn in front. The building
is twelve feet long, the largest ever attempted
in flowers and is an exquisite piece of work.
1t will be lighted by electricity. These flower
shows, unlike similar shows in New York and
other cities, are free and all society turns out to
see them.
Speaking of the flower "fads' of society, Mr..
Small said to-day that the chrysanthemum was
in higher favor this year than ever before, and
that experiments in improving the varieties had
been wonderfully successful. There is great
ambition, he said, among lovers of the flowers
to have the most beautiful named after them.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16th.-The seventh
week of the molders' strike is drawing to a
close, and as yet there are no signs of the
difficulties being adjusted.
A tour OF the different foundries to.dav
found the proprietors to all appearances as
determined as on the first day that the
molders went out. At the foundry of
Steiger DC Kerr the statement was made
we are happy, and need no arbitration :
II there are to be any concessions they will
have to come from the union" At the
once OF the Fulton Works it was stated
that one man had been secured YESTERDAY
and was now at work. A policeman re-
mains in the vicinity of the shop, con-
stantly. AT the Risdon it was learned that
no new men had been secured since the
last batch on Tuesday, and the molders'
department was running along in good
shape. From another source it was ascer-
tanned, however, that some three or four
men were discharged yesterday, as they
were not competent workmen.
AT the headquarters of the Union no
new facts were ELECTED beyond the report
that 300 in cash had been received to- day,
which came from the Mechanics Union of
Virginia City and the Molders' Union, No.
La, of British Columbia.
The report given out that some molders
left this city for the Sandwich Islands to
work for $S so day is stated to be false.
For the benefit of the striking molders a
ball will be given in the Mechanics Pa
vilion on the 26th inst. The 5000 tickets
issued are being sold rapidly and large
sum is expected to be realized.
The money that was derived from the
pail In Sacramento last week has not vet

Pinta and Thetis. This action in sending
three war vessels to Behring Sea, taken in
connection with the recent proclamation of
the President warning all persons trespass-
ing in American waters, is regarded here
as evidence of a firm determination to pre-
vent encroachments on the American seal

carry all the men she can, so as to be able
to send to port any prize that may be cap
tured.
