DESIGNATIONS ACCEPTED.
Two Heads Fall la the Deca pitatiOn
Basket Today.

At late session Of the board Of Com
missioners this afternoon the designations of
w. Calvin Chase and Edmund Fitzgerald,
food inspectors, were accepted, and Gen. E.
w. Whitaker appointed vice Chase and
Thomas Cavanaugh appointed vice Fitz-
gerald.
What reason the Commissioners had in
calling for these designations Is not known.
Some time ago charges were preferred
against Inspector Chase, but the matter
presumably died. and nothing further was
heard. Lately he has been charged with
not attending to his business properly, and
it is believed that it was on this latter
charge the Commissioners acted. Mr.
Simon Wolf, however recently made a Sc
rious charge against Mr.. Chase, but it was
not Investigated. 1t was in connection
city for the election Of delegates to Mime
apols.
Mr.. Chase was at the District building a
short time yesterday afternoon. and denied
the charges in toto He said his record al
the health office was as good as any other
inspector and while his district was the
largest one to cover he attended to II
faithfully.
Gen f. w. Whitaker, the gentleman who
has been selected to succeed Mr.. Chase Is
a prominent Grand Army man, and is high
ly Endorsed.
There appeared to be no charges apafns,
Edmund Fitzgerald, and it is believed hi
resignation was asked on account OF the
great pressure for places. Senator Hale
interested himself in the case but the mo =
ter had gone too far

The President comes into town from
"Woodley'' about o'clock in the morning
and eransacts business at the White House

generally known that the President does
not receive visitors on Monday. 4Eha

residence In the country win not necessitaae
any change in the White House rules for
the reception of visitors. The President will
not receive on Mondays. Tuesdays and

Mr.. voorhees, Qnd.)-My attention was
called yesterday by the distinguished Sena-

Is, that there is a continuing provision Of
law authorizing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to purchase bullion for subsidiary coin.
Mr.. Cockrell-There is no doubt about
that. -.., .....r sd,
Mr.. Voorhees-That is a large discretion.
1t may amount to $780, 900. We have but
100000 subsidiary silver coin now. We
ought to have much more.
Mr.. Cockrell-There Is no question but
that the power to coin subsidiary silver "a
legal tender to the amount Of 800 is con-
tinued. Nobody doubts that. That Is a
class distinction. For the great toiling
classes there is to be a silver coin, a legal
tender for $l0 but for the millionaires and

DEATH OF MRS. w. w. JOHNSTON
She Passed Away This Morninx in
This City.

Mrs. Johnston, wife Of Dr. w. w. John
ston. died this morning at her residence on
X street. after an illness that presented no
serious features until a few weeks ago.
Although Mrs. Johnston was not in her
usual vigorous health last spring she kept
about almost as well as usual and accom-.
panied DIR. Johnston and their children to
his summer home up in Maine, where she
quickly regained her lost strength. The
cruel blow that came to her in the sad
death of her eldest son the latter part of
the summer while he was staying with
friends on a rancho in Colorado dealt her
the death stroke. 1t will be remembered
.nat the young man. who went west for
ms neaith, was foully murdered by two
desperadoes, and although his heart-broken
motner was able to make the long Journey
from Maine to st. Louis where his remains
We're brought for burial, she steadily failed
IN heaith since. Since her return to this
city. about month ago. she has been able
to drive out occasionally, but for the past
week her sorrowing family have realized
that her end was near.
MIS- Johnston. whose marriage to DR..
johnston took place last June a year ago,
was remarkably handsome woman, and
comes from Missouri family, the feminine
members ia OF which have been noted for
their loneliness. Her father Wilson Shan
nol. represented in Congress the thirty
third congressional district for an honor
able period of service: was also minister
to Mexico. governor Of Ohio and subse-
quently governor Of Kansas. Her
mothers maiden name was Sarah Osmun,
and she came from an old and aristocratic
St Louis family Of mingled French and
Irish blood.
Mrs. Johnston's maiden name was Sally
Shannon. She was twice married. Her
first husband was John A. Walsh Of st.
Louis, who left his widow and four chill
dren an ample fortune. His widow spent
he fret OF of In, Do 10
where her children were placed in school.
After her second marriage DR.. and Mrs.
Johnston went. abroad for their wedding
trip. and in Paris were elegantly entertain
ed by the relatives Of the latter. Count
and Countess De Nun.
Mrs. Johnston leaves three children, two
daughters and a son, q sister, Mrs. Sue r.
Keller who resides in this city, and q
brother, Mr.. Osmun Shannon Of Lawrence,
Kans. She had a large circle of friends
in this city as well as In ST. Louis and
abroad, who held her in the warmest affec-
ton and esteem and who mourn her un-
timely death.

SeFEeant-at-Arms bright Arranging
His Forces for the Night Session.

There Is nobody to whom a night session of
the Senate means more than the-serseant-
alarms. This official is also the doorkeeper
of the Senate. and besides the duty OF pro-
viding the quorum he has to see that the
galleries are orderly. II Is nip and tuck
which is the harder task.
Col Bright. the present incumbent Of the
ONCE. has had wide experience in both lines.
He was busy today providing for the fray.
Every man on his payroll mad been noti-
fed to be on hand this afternoon, including
some who were on leave, and by noon he
had force of about forty for all purposes
There will be about twenty-five men
on duty at the gallery doors, In
relays. and a dozen more on guard
at the doors of the floor. Then
there will also be four men to send
for Senators when there is a call of the
Senate. A carefully revised list of addresses
has been prepared, and the Office OF the
sergeant-at-arms is primed with informa-
ton as to the haunts Of the statesmen who
are apt to drift away.
The great trouble in prolonged session is
the advent OF all-nighters, who flock to the
galleries In scores In the hope OF nnding
there a snug. VAIN place to snooZe away a
comfortable night The doormen of the
galleries are especially warned to look out
for these. and they are instructed to see
that there is no winking or blinking in the
spectator lofts.
Yesterday the house cleaning began at the
Senate. and the felt covers were removed
from good many tables in committee
n oms and busted and aired on the porticoes.
This gave rise to the rumor that the SER
zeant-at-arms had provided quantity of
slCmber robes for his force. in the expecta-
ton that his men would be obliged to sleep
at the Capitol.
Col Bright summoned his chief aids to his
Office this morning and gave them their
final Instructions in regard TO the preserva-
ton OF order during the rush that Is expect
ed to begin at 4 or ) o'clock Orders were
given to be very particular about admis-
sions to the reserved and diplomatic gale
res.

SOMETHING OF A SPEECH
Eade ON the silver Question in the
Senate Gallery.

There was n silver speech delivered in
the Senate this afternoon that was not
down on the calendar. 1t came from the
lips of an intoxicated individual, who had
IN some way managed to secure seat in
the ladies' gallery at the southeast corner.
IL was about l O'Clock, and Senator Cock
rell was in the midst Of the third INSTALL
nent of his speech against repeal when the
dignity of the Senate was suddenly startled
BY the sound of a song or chant coming
from the inebriate in the gallery He arose
to his feet and walking down the steps
stood UP by the railing and called out in a
loud voice: silver, silver, silver Is my
charge"
The doorkeeper rushed In the gallery at
once and prevented the man from any fur
Their demonstration. He submitted TO be
led out of the gallery. and was put in
Charge of the elevator conductor, who es-
corted him TO the ground floor, and pointed
out the way to the outside of the building.
The unwelcome guest took the hint and has
not been seen since

Still Waiting for Reliable News From
Washington.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, Oct. n.-Speculation this
morning showed signs of weakness and the
few bull traders in the room found nothing
sufficiently encouraging In the situation to
warrant an advance in prices.
Initial figures recorded fractional varia-
tons from yesterdays closing. but the
tendency was clearly toward lower prices
London was higher and for no special
reason, except that it may have been a bear
maneuver to get a high opening for selling
purposes.
Late advices from Washington are by no
means encouraging to believers in uncondi-
tional repeal and the course of prices today
reflected the renewal Of doubt and uncer-
taInty as to the ultimate result of the
| struggle in the Senate.
The market has for weeks been held in
check by senatorial hardness and prices
were the barometer that indicated the prob
able degree of success for the anti-silver
men, as indicated by the character of the
debate. Washington dispatches, predicting
the triumph of sound money policy, never
tailed to produce a rally, and advices which
suggested compromise were invariably
reaction
Sterling is reported to be firm at a
snSht advance. Bills continue in good
supply. but brokers are asking high prices
Tor them, especially those drawn against
cotton sales. Indications point to an ad-
vance later in the week, when some sterl-
Ing loans will mature and lead to an in
creased demand for foreign exchange. Post
ed rates today were ,4S4a4S6.
AS predicted several days ago, st. Pauls
earnings for the first week this month
show an increase of $4,000. This report
was construed to be a foreshadowing of a
general improvement in railroad finances.
Traders took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to mark up prices, but the rally was
limited and short lived. Missouri Pacific
indicated the policy of the bears in that
property by showing a decrease for the
first week this month of sl32, 900, and a
total decrease since the first Of the year
of 81, Us, 600.
Union Pacific improved slightly on ad-
vices from the west announcing that the
! threatened strike was of, and that no
reduction in wages would be made.
The financial condition Of the company is
such, however, that selling orders are con-
stantly in the market to put out stock on
every rally. -'.'''--.-

They Were Angry at Securing Only %
From Their Victim.

BROCKTON, Mass. Oct. 11.-One Of the
most daring highway robberies ever known
in this section was committed last evening
on the road to Whitman. near the Whit
man and Brockton line.
James Hayes. a well-known resident Of
this city, formerly in the liquor business,
and George W. Simmons, who resides on
the Whitman road. were returning from a
ride TO whitman when four men suddenly
stepped from the woods, one catching the
morse by the bride. another striking both
men In the wagon with heavy branch Of
a tree. Hayes was dragged from the car
riage, brutally assaulted and robbed by the
ruffians, then placed in the carriage and his
companion told to drive home. Hayes is in
a terrible condition. His face is crushed to
a jelly his body is badly bruised and he is
In precarious condition. He could not
identify his assailants.
MIR. Hayes usually carries a large sum of
money on his person, but last night had
only 81. which the thieves secured They
were evidently actuated also by a spirit Of
revenge.

tended ttOs them by the association Of this
cftt Thee bottlers a-e delighted with their
reception here. with the city and with their
hosts, the members OF the local association.
The session today was marked by an earn
est attention to business, and by a large at
tendance Of the delegates. 1t was found
possible to finally adjourn. Among the
resolutions adopted was the one referred
to. in which they placed on record. their
official approval of the Washington men,

A Missionary Tour.
Richmond, Va, was chosen as the place
to hold the next meeting Of the convention.
Some of the delegates wanted to go to
Boston, but 1t was said that in the south
the principles of the association were not
well understood. especially by the trade,
and it was urged that by holding a ses-
sion in Richmond not only the regular
business could be attended to, but in adj
dition they would be able to do some mis-
sionary work and thus advance the COM
mon cause. So 1t was decided to make
an advance on Richmond next year.
Speeches Today.
The Chicago association became a mem
Der Of the national organization. A num-
Der Of earnest speeches were made in re-
gard to the value of cooperation and Mr.
H. s. Harris, an ex-president of the asso-
citation and at one time a member of the
board Of aldermen of New York city who
Is said to be the best talker in the con-
vention, made an interesting address. in
which he spoke of the progress made since
the formation of the association five years
ago. Mr.. Harris is known as the grand
father of the association because he was
one of the pioneers of the movement which
resulted in it's formation. The conven-
ton has been a successful one and has
been well attended.
The duty of urging upon Congress the
Importance of adopting a general law for
the protection Of the property handled by
the members Of the association was in
trusted to the executive committee.
