Rumors of court-martial were rife at Camp
George Washington yesterday afternoon. 1t
was said that Brig. Gen Luton, commanding
The New York Brigade, had filed charges of in
subordination and dsrespect TO a superior
oficer against Major jefferson Young, COM
mander of the First New York squadron OF ca v
airy.
Inc interested parties and their friends en-
deavored 10 keep the details secret. Upon in
quiry last night TIMES reporter learned that
the trouble arose in this manner: Some time
ago in New York Gen. Luton issued orders to
the New York Brigade. of which Major Young s
command is a part which the latter officer did
not deem proper, and so stated to Gen. Luton.
The superior officer thereupon became enraged,
and threatened to file the charges above men
toned. But this has not yet been done, and il
it is the court-martial viii be held in New York
State, as the affair has no connection with this
encampment
Friends of the two officers stated last night
that the trouble Will probably be amicably SET
tied and due apologies made without the filing
of any charges or session of a court-martial.
Comparatively little interest has been mani
Tested in the selection of a place in which to
hold the biennial encampment of 1896 So much
attention has been paid to the camp and parade
and other features connected with the Washing
ton conclaye that the former question has been
almost entirely neglected.
The meeting place will be selected by the SUI
preme lodge, and as yet only three cities have
been mentioned as competitors for the honor of
entertaining the Pythian hosts two years hence.
These cities Boston, Minneapolis, and In
dianapolis. The latter just now appears TO have
the lead, with good prospect for winning.
The Indiana delegation seem TO be more ener-
getic and systematic hustlers than their rivals.
They argue that the Hoosier capital is unsur-
passed as a railroad center. Hotel accomnoda-
tons sufficient to provide for the greatest
crowd; the state is a stronghold of Pythiansm,
and the headquarters OF the Uniform Rank are
located in that city Besides it cqualizes the
distance to be Travelled by persons attending
from every State in the Uniol.
From present appearances, and unless another
and better candidate comes on the field, Indian
apolis will be chosen by the supreme lodge
almost unanimously

THEY'VE GOT rHEM on THE LIST.

The executive committee of the Working
mems Assembly Of the State of New York has
submitted report on the record Of the mem
bers of the assembly of 1894 on labor legisla-
tion. In the statement the State Legislators
are classified as follows:
Roll OF honor.
Special mention.
Favorable mention.
LukewArn.
In the same manner the United States Con-
Sressmen could be laid of in sections, pro-
vided there were a national workingmen's
agency established for that purpose This
work II is proposed to do through the labor
headquarters, which will, it is hoped, soon
begin work in this city.
The New York method Of preparing the list
is both unique and accurate. The Working
mems Assembly prepared a schedule of legis-
lation which was desired by a majority of the
laboring voters Of the State. The men who
were on the right side OF all of these issues
went on the 'roll OF honor" those who were
right on nearly all were put doEa for special
mention, - and so on down the list.
Il is interesting to note the character of the
Legislation which was made basis of jndg
meut The principal bills were as follows:
To prevent the manufacture Of brooms and
brushes in State prisons; for construction ofthe
Corlears Hook park in New York city; for the
improvement Of parks. parkways. and drives
In New York city; for better protection of
mechanics and laborers; regulating the hours
of labor of mechanics and laborers on State
and municipal works; capitol appropriation
OF s75O, 600; stonacutters' bill; regulating

excursion boats leaving New York city; for
additional factory inspectors; regulating tel
ephoDe and telegraph charges; marking con-
vict-made goods, and regulating the sale Of
convict-made goods manufactured in other
States.
1t will be seen that these bills are worthy,
and are easily agreed On by all laboring
bodies. The bills introduced and considered
in the IEte session of Congress, and which
could be generally approved or disapproved
by laboring men, would furnish q list much

Bishop Ludden Believes in Separating
Religion from the Saloon Business.
SYRACUSE, NY, Aug 2s.-In an address before
the convention of the Catholic Relief Associa-
ton, Bishop Ludden said tonight:
II do not regard your society strictly Cath
olic because you have the word Catholic in your
name; that is not necessary. In fact, society
of this kind need not be religious body, though
If may be made up of very religious persons
There a great many things that are legitimate
improper to do as Catholics This is the saloon
business.
Though Catholics may engage legitimately
in this business, il would be highly improper for
one to set up the cross over his place and call IL
a Catholic saloon or Catholic restaurant IL is
Just so with other kinds OF business which can
be Iegitimately conducted by Catholics as indi-
viduals, but not by the church"

WHAT THE TRUST SECURED


The sugar schedule is law and the voters
OF the country have heard much about the
scandals connected with its success. Many
of these voters have an indefinite idea of the
enornity Of the scandals, but have been
muddled by complicated statements that
have been given out purposely, or with good
intent. as the case may be. The main facts
are these:
The sugar trust could. before the passage OF
the new bill, sell refined sugar as cheaply as
any refinery in the world. With ali sugar on
the free list, the transp ortation costs on for
eign refined sugar would still enable the trust
to undersen its competitors and make a fair
profit.
Now is given, or rather sold, to the trust,
an ad valorem duty whereby refined sugar
from abroad is kept out of this country, CIV
ing the trust complete control. The raw
sugar which the trust uses suffers only q
small tariff under the ad valorem rate.
But this was not enough. The retained
attorneys of the trust in the Senate secured a
specific duty of one-eighth of a cent pound,
enabling the trust, by the very admission of
its president, to raise the cost to the con-
sumner one cent per pound.
That is what the sugar ring has done
through its subsidized "friends for revenue

AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT.


A thoroughly enjoyable concert was given by
ing under the auspices Of The knights Of Pythias
While the great hall was hardly more than half
full, there was yet goodly audience in attend
ance, and the many numbers on the pro-
gramme were all yOciferously applauded- The
feature of the evening was the playing
OF the cornet virtuoso, Signor Liberati, who
rendered the "Inhammstus" from Rossinis
famous "Stabat Mater" n a manner nothing
short OF brilliant He also played "Massas S in the
Cold. Cold Ground" and other popular pieces
that frequently roused the enthusiasm Of the
audience
Among the most enjoyable numbers per-
formed by the band were Fanciulli's "A Night in
Bohemia, introducing many of the popular
songs OF the day; the descriptive fantasie, The
Voyage of Columbus, " Reeves Memory of the
War" and the overture from William Tell "
The band was in excellent form and greatly
pleased the auditors, if the frequent bursts OF
applause may be taken as an indication.

Then resolution was passed allowing the
wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters OF
Knights of Pythias to form society and to con-
slider themselves, i'll a certain sense as auxili-
airy to the Knights of Pythias. 1t was distinctly
understood however, that the supreme lodge
would not be liable for any Obligations incurred
by this female society Thus encouraged the
ladies went to WORK, with the result that TWO or
ganizations were formed. The Pythian Sister
hood limited its membership exclusively o the
female kindred of Knights of Pythias, but the
Pythian Sisters, holding man in higher .appre-
citation, admi ted their Pythian relatives tC

to combine the two organizations were made
