WANTS TO FIGHT THE ALLIANCE.
Representative Oates Advises Democrats No
to Be Timid About It

Representative Oates Advises Democrats Not
to Be Timid About It.
Representative Oates Of Alabama. who is an
old fashioned democrat Of the most uncompro-
missing sort, takes a very serious view of the
Farmers Alliance movement in the south.
Speaking with STAR reporter today he said
that he thought that the southern democrats
were too timid and trustful in dealing with the
alliance, and that they did not fully appreciate
the seriousness Of the situation. TOO many
Of our folks, he said, "are trying TO make
friends with the alliance in hopes Of holding
their own hereafter. They but deceive them
selves; the alliance folks are not fooled, but
our people are compromised. The fact is just
this: We have got to fight the alliance right ont
with all our might or it will get the best Of us
In the south. No man can believe in the sub
treasury and land loan schemes and claim to
be democrat. The lines must be drawn
sharply and at once. The alliance is now In the
minority, but it is organized well and our peo-
pie are weakening themselves by cutting shy Of
the night What we must do is to organize
against the alliance and beat it out of exist
ence. If we do not it will beat us, though we
are In the majority. In every democratic con-
ventlon-for 1t is in these conventions that the
alliance seeks to get controls resolution should
be offered condemning the subtreasury scheme
as unconstitutional and undemocratic. IL this
resolution is voted down, the convention is an
alliance and not a democratic convention, and
the democrats should retire and hold a con-
vention elsewhere. This plan of separating the
democrats from the Farmers Alliance should be
followed in every state in the south"
MIR. Oates says he thinks it not improbable
that Campbell will be elected governor of Ohio
IF he is, he says there will be very good
chance of the next democratic presidential
ticket being Campbell and Pattison, or Camp
bell and Russell of Massachusetts,"

A Collision Between Two Steamers Which
Fortunately Resulted in No Loss Of Life
The excursonists to River View on the
steamer Samuel ]. Pentz and the passengers to
Norfolk on the steamer Washington had a bad
scare last night. The steamers left their
wharves in this city about o'clock, the WASH
ington getting about half minute the start.
The Pentz, however, passed the Washington a
short distance from the city, but before reach
ing Alexandria the Washington was again
slightly in the lead and ON the left of the
Pentz. The Washington, it appears. then
turned In, as it is supposed. to go to her wharf
In Alexandria. The steamers, however, were
too near together to permit this feat to be per-
formed successfully. The Pentz slowed up SO
mat serious collision was avoided, but the
boats came together broadside with a resound-
Ing crash. The excursionists on the Pentz,
which was crowded, were frightened almost
into panic. Some of them jumped for safety
over the rail upon the Washington and others
seized life preservers. Some women were
made sick with the fright. The Pentz when
struck careened considerably, and many on
board thought that she would capsize.
gentleman who was on the Pentz writes to
The STAR the following account of the occur
renee:
1.-The Pentz left her wharf few minutes after
o'clock, followed immediately by the WASH
ington, the Pentz being on the Virginia side of
the channel, and when opposite the arsenal the
boats were running about even and about
twenty-five yards from each other. Three
times before the collision they came within ten
feet of each other. This was kept up until
within half mile of Alexandria, when tho WASH
ington under full head of steam and at the
top of her speed crossed the bow of the Pentz
and the two boats came together with great
force, the women and children becoming very
much excited, as there was every indication
that the Pentz would be capsized- When the
boats came together every ono in the cabins
made q rush for the decks and the greatest ex-
element prevailed. Several ladies in my i'm.
mediate vicinity tainted and one lady was
thrown in violent commissions, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that several gentlemen
prevented a panic"
The writer, commenting on the collision,
says:
~ desire through your paper to call the at
tention of the proper authorities TO the gross
neglect Of duty on the part Of the captains Of
both boats, and for the safety of the travelling
public ask that some step be taken to prevent
these men from risking the lives of their pas
sengers to find out which 10 the fastest boat
It is about time that this racing of boats was
stopped and that an example be made of these
men SO as to prevent further accident"

The acting secretary Of the treasury has ae-

sum of q, 400, 600 District of Columbia 80 per
cent bonds az l00.5 3l. These bonds run for ten
years, subject to call, however, after two years.
They are regarded as good as government
bonds and are a better investment than the
issue Of government per cents to replace the
AZ per cents. The Fisks will probably make
considerable by taking all these bonds. which
they can easily place IN small sums at a large
premium. In view of the steady reduction Of

MARCHING THE POLICEMEN.
The Subject Up I'm the Police Court IN
Judge Miller's Remarks Thereon

The Subject Up I'm the Police Court and
Judge Miller's Remarks Thereon
The police are complaining against the en-
forcement of an order issued some time ago re-
curing them at the relieving hour 10 march
over their precincts and pick up the men at the
different posts and then march to their re-
spective stations.
Before the issuance Of this order the men
used to get in the stations few minutes after
their trick of duty was over, but now in some
precincts the men complain they do not get in
for thirty minutes or more after their time is
up, and that, they think. is unjust. Especially
do they complain during the hot weather when
they have to march SO far through the hot sun
and then so much time is taken of the short
while that they have for rest.
An officer, for instance. comes of duty at
midnight, marches around TO the several re-
lieying posts, and in some precincts IL is u 80
before he gets in.
He is supposed to go home, get the necessary
sleep and his breakfast and return TO the sta
ton for duty either at or b o'clock in the
morning.
That, the officers claim, does not give them
the required rest. and the marching only de-
priyes them OF SO much more time.
The marching of the officers caused q clash
between the police force and the Police Court
this morning An officer who had marched his
rounds and then stopped to get something to
eat was late reaching court and he had that e Il
cuse to offer.
Judge Miller said he did not care about the
officers delay, but be was tired of hearing the
constant complaint that the police officers are
detained at court after IL o'clock.

| with their cases there is not much trouble
about getting away before III O'Clock. Ii fire.
Quently happens that the officers are not here
on time and that is why they are detained but

COPIES OF GREAT MASTERPIECES,
Senator Stanford's Projected Collection for
His University.

SehatoT Stohiorus PROJECTED COLLECTION Tor
His University.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
At the Stanford University changes are being
made in the three upper galleries reserved for a
collection of gems of art. A splendid enterprise
has been projected by Mr.. Stanford to supply the
university with collection of paintings which
will rival the ateliers of the world in picture
esque interest. To make copies of all the best
specimens of!all the old masters handiwork is
what the Stanfords intend doing. During
their visit to Europe last year the idea was
conceived. Mrs. Stanford proposed that the
triumphs Of medieval art should be repre-
sented to the students of the great university.
While III Europe the consent of the King of
Italy was secured to making copies of the
historical canvases in the national galleries.
Since the return OF the Standfords here thew
have been notified that similar permissions
have been accorded them by the Gar of Rus
sla and the King of Belgium. In all three
cases 1t was stipulated that the copies should
De made by the court painters of the various
countries. Every copy is to cost IS 600. The
collection will embrace every masterpiece.
Recently several copies arrived from Belgium
and are awaiting position in the big galleries.
1t IL also intended to make copies of modern
paintings by the masters of today. For that
purpose skilled artists have been EMPLOYED.
The aggregate cost of the enterprise viii not
be less than S400, 900. As fast as copies arrive
they will be framed and hung until the last is
In position. The copies will not be reduced in
SIZE and even the framework will be initiated
Thus side by side the past and present ages of
art will be spread before the students.

A MINISTERIAL sQUABBLE.
One Baptist Divine Resigns on Account Of q
Attack on Masonry,

One Baptist Divine Resigns on Account of An
Attack on Masonry.
Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.
Boston, June 22.-The Baptist ministers lost
sight Of theology today in a sensational squab-
BILE over Free Masonry and before the trouble
was over one of their number, who is Mason,
withdrew his membership and left the hall in
a rage. 1t was the most sensational scene that
has ever been enacted in a meeting of Boston
ministers.
The ministers had assigned as the topic for
discussion 1.-The Influences Of Secret Societies
Upon Churches Derived From the Land
Marks of Masonry" and the Rev. ]. b. Stod-
dard, secretary of an anti-secret society asso-
citation, was the principal speaker. He de-
nounced the Masonic order as being the worst
enemy of the Christian church, worse than
popery ever was He had Masonic symbolic
chart and books which he used pretending to
know all the lodge room secrets, grips, pass
words, oaths, ceremony, and SO on, and he
started in to tell all about it.
After a long TRADE he said: ''There are even
ministers who go into the order and profess
these things, and they also profess to believe
that ordination is an evidence of sanctifica-
tion."
Immediately a minister arose and inquired:
Have you been through all this that you know
it all?'
"N-n-no," hesitatingly, ''but men who
were in the lodge room have told me-
"A good Mason would not tell you what goes
on in his lodge room. II you will hunt for
facts and talk less until you get at them it will
be better for you"
Again Mr.. Stoddard assailed the Masonic
ritual, and the Rev. Mr.. Cleveland jumped to
his feet, and rapping on the floor with his UNI
brella, he cried out: "Mr. Chairman rise to
point Of order. 1 am q Mason. 1 have lis
tened to this scathing stigmatism of the order
with patience, but l cannot listen to this un-
just and uncalled-for abuse"
Everything became deathly still for q moment
Of two before DIR. Moxam put the vote. Those
who favor sustaining the point of order say
yes" A few feeble responses were heard.
Those who oppose, no." Loud was the re-
Spouse, and the chair declared the point of
order not sustained. Mr.. Cleveland called for
q rising vote and it resulted to SO.
Mr.. Cleveland arose, and, addressing the sec
Rotary, said: Il request that you drop my name
from the roll of membership of this conference.
do not care to be a member of any body that
refuses to sustain any decent point of order"
Then snatching up his hat he left the room.
There were other Masons present, but they
made no remark. When the speaker started to
apologize, some said: mo apologies; 60 on"
