IN HANDSOME QUARTERS.
Board of Trade Takes Possession of Its
Convenient New Rooms in the
Armes Building.


Convenient New Rooms in the
Armes Building.
Washington has one organization of which 1t
may well be proud 1t is the board Of trade
Since it was organized, four years ago, the men,
bership has constantly grown, until there are
now on the roll $50 of Washingtons most promi-
nent business men.
As the membership increased II has become
necessary TO secure larger quarters for the
needs of the members Several weeks ago the
board began negotiations for the rental Of rooms
in the Ames building, on q street between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets. Two large rooms
on the second foor were secured. and last night
they were formally opened for the inspection Of
members.
From early in the evening until nearly mid
night the rooms were thronged. As the mem-
bers entered the building they were met by Sec
retary John b. Wight, who gave them a cordial
handshake and escorted them to the rooms
above. Here they saw the boards new home.
Potted palms stood at vantage points about the
room and jars of fragrant roses were upon the
several tables. In these rooms the members sat
and chatted as long as they pleased and then
went 10 the banquet hall above, where refresh
ments were served
The front room the secoud floor is read
ing and reception room for members who may
desire TO come in at any time from O'Clock in
the morning until 4 80 in the afternoon. The
rear room is fitted up the Office Of the assist
ant secretary of the board and also contains
several cases of reference books. Congressman
and prominent citizens viii at all times be well
come in these rooms. where they may come
during the day and spend pleasant hour in
reading OF conversation.
During the evening b. H. Warner, president Of
the board, called on the following gentlemen TO
make informal speeches regarding the new
quarters: Governor y. G. ordway, j. l. Smith,
Matthew Trimble, Col Weston Flint, and Thomas
Somerville
Among those present last evening were the

AN UP-To-DATE SHEEP RANCH
How a Hundred Mile Square Farm in Wyo-
ming Is Conducted.
From the Minneapolis Journal ]

From the Minneapolis Journal
CHAMBERLAIN, 8. D.. June John D.
Hale, Meade county ranchman. has recently
returned from a trip through the stock re-
gions Of several western states. He gives an
excellent and interesting account OF some OF
the immense cattle and sheep ranches visited
by him. In northwestern Wyoming he was
the guest OF ex-governor Warren, of that
state, who is & veritabie stock baron. His
ranch is 75xl00 miles, stocked with 1000
horses, 15, GOO cattle and 100000 sheep.
Being considerable OF sheep man himself,
the management of the latter interested Mr..
Hale particularly. The sheep are divided
into punches of 5000 to 10000 and driven
from place to place, or rather located for only
a short time in one place. the herders living
in movable houses built on wagons. In Sum-
mer they are driven up into the mountains;
in Winter grazed the valleys. Five hundred
miles OF telephone wire covers the vast ranch,
and each sheep and COW ranch has telephone
connections with the home ranch. enabling
Mr.. Warren to communicate with the several
foremen at any hour, but he makes it rule
to talk with each boss every evening as to the
incidents OF the day. The most modern ar
rangements are provided in the way of clip
ping machinery, shearing sheds, etc., for the
speedy, safe and profitable handling of the
sheep, making 1t In all departments one Of, If
not the most, perfectly arranged ranches in
the West, and the most scientifically handled.

20, and II the tarii bill fails, with or without
tho income tax feature, he will be mainly
responsible
When We get down to the plain people We
find an overwhelming sentiment in favor OF
the income tax, and 1t is regarded as the
strongest feature, and the one that will the
most strongly commend it to the great mass
Of voters apart from the benefciartes OF
monopolies and their subsidized organs.

HILL AND THE INCOME TAX,

1t is announced that Senator Hill is prepar-
ing another tariff speech, and that he has been
absent from his seat most Of the time for sew
eral days putting it in shape. As is well
known, the income tax is Mr.. Hills pet aver
sion, and it is thought that this second effort,
like the first. will be directed mainly against
that feature of the bill.
Mr.. Hill will in all probability attach much
importance to the recent meeting of New York
business men, called to protest against the
imposition of an income tax. The fact that
less than n thousand of the business men of
the metropolis could be induced, after much
heralding and advertising, to attend that
meeting will not occupy a very prominent part
of the Senator's speech. Except as regards
the amount OF wealth represented by those in
attendance, the gathering was failure, and
all having anything to do with it have been at
great pains to conceal their disappointment.
In order to deceive the country, the leading
ewspapers-themselvesm more profitable than
gold mines-represented the meeting as an
immense outpouring of substantial business
men engaged in legitimate trade, when, as a
matter Of fact, the vast majority of those pres
ent were bankers, brokers, real estate oper-
ators and Wall street spectators.
1t is sheer humbug to pretend that such an
assemblage represented anything like ma
jority of the voters Of the Empire State of New
York, or that it expressed the views of the
men who carried the state for President Cleve-
land in 1892. The returns from all the indus
trial centers of the country prove conclusively
that the last presidential election was largely
a movement OF organized labor, and in no
section was its influence and power more
plainly manifest than in all the cities of the
state of New York. By their votes these men
declared that the so-called protection"
which fostered monopolies and made possible
the trusts and combines which are grinding
down the people, was a mockery, delusion,
and snare, and they demanded that a
change of policy in the mode OF raising reve-
nue. for the support Of the government should
be Immediately inaugurated.
The party OF which Senator Hill Is q con-
spicuous leader was the beneficiary of this
movement of the workingmen, and during
the campaign he claimed to be in full accord
with the platform in demanding radical re-
ductions from the Mckinley tariff. And yet
We find him the main stumbling block in the
way of the passage of a measure in line with
the party pledges.
1t may be contended, however, that de-
mand for an income tax had no place In the
platform. A majority OF the representatives
OF the people in the House decided that it
was the fairest tax that could be imposed,
and that a revision and reform Of the tariff in
accordance with popular feeling made it an
absolute necessity. Clearly it was Senator
Hills duty to fall into line with the majority
of his party. So far he has not seen ut to do

Prospect Of an Intensely Bitter Fight Be-
tween the knights and the Federation Of
Labor-Action Of the Latter Body Re-
garded as Extremely Unfriendly.

ST LOUIS Mo, June I3-The general executive
board of the Knights of Labor met here to-day
TO consider the boycott Of that organization
against the breweries here controlled by the
English syndicate The determination was
reached TO send out a circular 10 the Knights Of
Labor and Federation Of Labor men, as well as
other union men, calling upon them TO become
temperate, In fact, total abstainers from beer
consumption in every large city or town, and at
all times and places where union beer cannot
be obtained.
A number of other minor local troubles also
engaged the attention of the board. AS the
Federation of Labor had refused TO consent to
an interchange Of working cards between the
members OF the two organizations engaged in
the same trades, the general board decided to-
day to deal directly with the unions affiliated
with the Federation of Labor. Accordingly the
proposed interchange between the iron molders
OF New York and vicinity and the knights Of
labor iron rnolders. comprising the Local Is
sembly 247 was approved The same action
was taken on similar proposition from the two
bodies OF coopeIs in Louisville the Beer brew-
ers' Workmen's national organizations, the In

hatters; the miners national bodies, Anight.
