MEMBERS PROTEST.
Reasons for Opposing Mrs. Aldrich as
Superintendent.


Four members of the board of trustees of
the Girls Reform School entered vigorous
protest with the Commissioners today
against the appointment of Mrs. Aldrich
as superintendent of the Girls Reform
School.

ing of the board of trustees of the institu-
ton five members voted to appoint Mrs
Aldrich to the SUPPLEMENTARY of the school
made vacant by the resignation of Mrs.
Matthews. The board of trustees consists
of nine members, and four of that number
voted against the election. Before the
election is made final the Commissioners,
who have direct control of the school. have
to approve the appointment. This has not
yet been done.
p. Morgan, who is one of the trustees of
the Girls Reform School, appeared before
the Commissioners and presented the fol-
lowing protest, which is signed by Mrs.
Laura Comstock Bates, Mary Howe Totten
and Louise Reed Etowell and Thomas F.
Morgan:
The undersigned members of the board of
trustees of the Girls Reform School re-
spect1ully and firmly protest against the
confirmation of Mrs. Aldrich's election as
superintendent of said school for the fol-
lowing reasons, to wit:
Mrs: Aldrich is an alien, a subject of
Great Britain.
''All her family, including her husband
are aliens and reside in England
Further, II is our opinion that of avail
able candidates, that one should be chosen
VINO Is most competent to fulfill the duties
of so important and peculiar a nosition .
and we also think that among the candi-
oates offered there are American women

THE CAPITOL SUICIDE.
Identified as George Konig, a Balti-
more Baker.

The body of the young man who commit
ted suicide in the Capitol grounds Friday
night has been identified as that of George
KONG, Baltimorean. His brother saw an
account of the suicide and knowing his
brother had disappeared, came to the con-
clusion that the dead man was perhaps his
brother. The body had not been buried.
but was in the morgue when he reached
here this morning.
He was greatly shocked when he entered
the little brick structure and saw beneath
the glass the earthly remains of his own
brother. Why he should have come over
here and ended his life the brother was at
a loss to tell. The deceased was a baker
by trade. and had good situation. Besides
TINS ne was about to start in business for
himSeIf. he was a member of the fourth
Maryland regiment, and had many friends
IN the monumental city. His brother saws
he was not drinking man, nor had he
been SICK, and the only reason left so the
police think, is that his sweetheart had
perhaps Tilted him.
Coroner Woodward gave the necessary
certificate of death, and the body will be
taken to Baltimore.

EMPLOYING TROOPS.
Gen. SchOfieId Tells Who Can Com
mand Our Soldiers.

mand Our Soldiers.
In order that there may be no room for
misunderstanding as to the real functions
of federal troops ordered out to assist judi
cial officers In protecting railroads and
other properties from organized bodies of
lawless men, Gen. Schofield has issued the
following clear instructions for the govern
ment of the commanders of the different de-
partments of the army:
Whenever the troops may be lawfully
employed under the orders of the President
to suppress instruction in any state
against the government thereof as pro-
vided in section 5297 of the Revised Stat
utes to enforce the execution of the
laws of the United States when by rea-
son of unlawful distractions, comblnatio
or assemblages of persons it has become
impracticable in the Judgment of the Presi-
dent, to enforce, by the ordinary course of
judicial proceedings, the laws of the United
States as provided in section 529S of the
Revised Statutes. the troops are employed
part Of the military power Of the Uni
ted States, and act under the orders of the
President, as commander-in-chef, and his
military subordinates. They cannot be d.
rected to act under the orders of any civil
officer. The commanding officers of the
troops so employed are directly responsible
to their military superiors. Any unlawful
or unauthorized act on their part would not
be excusable on the ground of any order or
request received by them from a marshal
or any other civil officer"

DOLE WINS THE ELECTION.
Gets Fair Working Majority in
Hawaii.


The acting secretary of the navy has re-
ceived a long dispatch from Admiral
Walker, commanding the naval forces at
Hawaii, in which he says that the election
for delegates to the constitutional conven-
ton passed off quietly, and that the sup
porters of the provisional government Sc
cured a fair working majority. At the date
of the report order prevailed in all parts of
the islands. If Liliuokalani or her adher-
ents contemplated an outbreak on the eve
of the election. knowledge of the cons piracy
had not been obtained by the officers of the
American fleet. 1t seemed clear to Admiral
Walker that the program of the provi-
sional government mapped out in earlier
advices from Hawaii would be carried into
execution.
The Japanese had made somewhat vigor-
Gus demands that they should have the
right of suffrage in the islands, but there
was no apparent disposition on the part of
the provisional government to grant such
d concession. More recently these demands
have grown less earnest and the departure
of one of the Japanese cruisers for home
waters might lead 20 the conclusion that no
further serious attempts to enforce them
would be made.
Admiral Walker reported satisfactory
progress in the work of making surveys
for the coaling station on Pearl river. 1T
has been found that the entrance To the
river, instead of being blocked by "A high
coral reef, is chiefly obstructedubYJ All sand
spit, which can be removed at sreasona BILE
cost and little delay. .s-tg o. 7fs.s- !
Reports from Lieut. Wood, who had charge
OF the surveying expedition. indicate that
the mouth of the river can be cleared within
about six months and at a cost not to ex-
coed 100000. The intimation that this coun-
try intends establishing coaling station on
Pearl river is having quieting effect upon
the ambition of other countries who are
known to have looked with envous eyes
upon Hawaiian territory.
At the date of Admiral Walkers report
there were only three men-of-war at Homo
lulu-the Philadelphia, an English cruiser
and Japanese vessel.

TOO MUCH LANGUAGE.
Calvin Chase and Rev. Howard in n
Police Court Case

There was a gathering of colored LAWYERS.
preachers and politicians in Judge kim
balls court this morning. all interested in
a case involving charge of disorderly con-
duct against W. Calvin Chase. editor of
the Bee, and also a member of the bar and
leader of a political faction. Rev j. w.
Howard. pastor of the Zion Baptist Church
was the prosecuting Witness Prosecuting
Attorney Pugh prosecuted the case and
Lawyer Peyton appeared to assist him.
Editor Chase defended his own case. Rev.
Howard detailed the conversation, telling
of the alleged foul language used by Chase.
but Rev. Bishop Johnson. who was present.
said that the language had no place in his
OohnsOn's) mouth.
The meeting between the Rev. Howard
and Editor Chase took place yesterday near
the corner Of sd and Z streets northwest
Both men were excited and there was every
indication that fight would end the meet
ing. but the Rev. johnson acted as peace
maker and prevented blows. 1t appears
that the character Of church notices con-
corning the Rev. Howard, as they appear
ed In the columns Of the Bee, was not rel
ished by the pastor. and he ceased taking
the paper.
Yesterday Editor Chase and Rev john
kon were engaged in a business conversa-
ton on the street when Rev. Howard rode
up on his bicycle. He told Chase that he
was not speaking to him, and then il was
that Chase spoke the language charged
but did not use the name of the deity.
The lie passed and the Rev. Howard
charged that Chase made threats toward
him. and he retOrted:
Why didn't you do that to Col. Perry
Carson at the Chicago convention when
the colonel knocked out your tooth7'
Then personalities of the worst kind fol-
lowed. and the Rev. Johnson prevented pos
sible bloOdshed.
Mr. FeyJOn argued the case saying that
# DIR. Howard had been a pistol carrier
there would certainly have been a murder
committed
Mr.. Chase" he argued. us lawyer, and
should set a good example"
He thought that being a lawyer and kay-
ing admitted his guilt he should be treated.
not as an ordinary ignorant man but
should be more heavily fined.
The defendant responded in his own be-
half. referring TO the publication Of articles
concerning the prosecuting witness and of
his flock.
Judge Kimball in a few words said he
was only going 10 deal with what took place
on the street yesterday. The court could
see no reason for the use Of the Language
charged and testified to by witnesses, and
the court said that had Mr.. Chase been
knocked down he thought the man who did
1T would not have been dealt with very Sc
verely.
The language, the court said, was obiec-
tionable and disgraceful, and was certainly
unbecOming a lawyer.
a fine Of 50 was imposed

James Hail. Piccadilly. Twenty bishops
were present. and the hall was crowded
with delegates. The Archbishop of Canter-
bury presided.
In his inaugural address the archbishop
reviewed the missionary efforts made from
the middle ages, and concluded with de-
claring that the present system of mis-
sions by societies could endure because
their success was largely due to party
spirit. The day was approaching, he added.
when societies. like politics, could not be
conducted by parties. The church must be
its own missionary society.
