Against the Wilson Bill.

Philadelphia, Pa, March "a move
ment to hold a big convention of work
ingmen in Washington on April and Z,
to protest against the passage of the
Wilson bill by the Senate, was Inaugural
ted here last night
Delegates representing about 30 of the
largest manufacturing establishments OF
the city, employing about 10000 opera
tives, held meeting in Kensington, the
man ufacturing district of Philadelphia,
to take action upon the proposed pro-
test against the bill. Letters were read
from workingmen representing mill en-
ployes in many of the large cities of the
East, endorsing the proposed convention
and promising to send delegates to it.
Some of the men doubted the usefulness
of holding the convention and contended
that the Senate committee in charge OF
the bill had announced that it would
hear no protests
In opposition to this it was said that
when the Senate had actual evidence of
the opposition to the bill in the presence
of several thousand men in Washington
to protest against it the Senators would
be brought to hear them.
Finally it was decided to hold the con-
vention in Washington and resolutions
condemning the Wilson bill were
passed.
Negotiations are already in progress
with the railroads for special rates from
this city to Washington, and if the fare
is placed low enough 5000 men are ex-
pected to go to the capital on April 6.

THE FIELD OF SPORTS.

Indications that the Coming Season VIII
be an Interesting One for Yachting AT
fairs-New Launches to be Built-Base
Ball.
One of the leading yachting events OF
the season promises to be regatta
which MILO Richardson proposes to
give at Biddeford Pool sometime in
July or August. Mr.. Richardson, who
is the owner of the yacht Vixen, OF the
Portland Yacht Club, is resident of
St. Louis, but has a summer cottage at
Biddeford Pool. He has written to the
Yacht Club proposing to offer $500 IN
prizes for the regatta, which will proba-
bly be divided into several small purses
in order to attract craft of all classes in
the Club. Besides the regatta, Mr.. Rich
ardson proposes to invite all the MEM
beers of the Club to a reception at his
house at the time of the races. The re-
oatta committee of the Club has the
matter under consideration, but there
is no doubt that the invitation will be
accepted and that the event will prove
one of the most enjoyable of the season.
Although the lists of the Yacht Club
do not disclose any tendency to increase
in the number of the sailing craft. in
spite of the notable addition of the year
made by the new boat which the Her
reschoff's are building for Mr.. 81. G. Bax-
ter, the mum Der of little steam launches
is growing. Mr.. N. A. Jacobs, the build
err, is now at work on two fifty-footers

WHOLESALE STEALING,
A Young Man With Peculiar Ideas OF
Personal Property.


Detectives Weldon and Lacy in making
an investigation of robbery reports have
discovered more about the operations of
Richard McCauley, alias Thompson, a COL
ored boy who has figured in a number of
cases, and who escaped from the reform
school, where he had been sent because he
had attempted to rob a safe. He is a light
brown-skin boy. fifteen years old. and, be-
ing a good talker. he experiences no diff
gets opportunities to steal, and then he
disappears. He always tells pathetic
story about the loss of his parents and sue
ceeds in working on the sympathy Of per-
sons by requesting them to give him a
home. 1t was in this way that he was
permitted, some months ago, to sleep in
the real estate office of Atwell and Coffee
on Capitol Hill, where he broke open the
safe, expecting to find money. Soon after
leaving there he was arrested for a theft
committed at the house of Mrs. Cant, No.
123 Maryland avenue, where he had been
befriended He also robbed two houses on
the 7th street road.
Nothing was heard Of the boy again I'M
til a few days ago, when he went to No.
1903 street and secured a good home
by means Of his plea Of having no home.
When he disappeared a gold watch also
disappeared, and then complaint was made.
Yesterday the boy showed up at the house
of Mr.. w. w. Martin, on Maple avenue.
lie Droit Park, was given a home and last
night he was put to bed. When he got up
this morning he asked permission to go
out and buy a newspaper. He went out
and with him went two pocket books con-
tanning about SIS.
The officers are now looking for the boy.

SUBURBAN RAILROADS.
Capt. Powell Gives His Views on One
Part of the Subject.

The Commissioners have recommended
adverse action upon Senate bill 1929, pro-
viding for the extension of the lexington
and Soldiers Home railroad. The extern
ton contemplates a line from G and 14th
streets northwest to Florida avenue by way
of 18th street, II street Connecticut avenue
to l street and 11th street. Again, from
Florida avenue by way of 18th street ex-
tended to Park avenue, in Mount Pleasant,
thence along east and west streets to be
subsequently designated, inclusive of one
such street to the Geological Park, and
within five years of approval of the act,
through the entire length of Rock Creek
Park. The report of the Commissioners
was prepared by Capt. Powell who reit-
crates his recommendation against the use
of 18th street for railroad. He does not
think 1t would be judlcious at this time to
grant charter to a railroad running
through the Rock Creek Park. A charter
of this kind, he thinks if granted, should
be let to the highest bidder that the
railroad should be built and operated by
the park authorities for reasonable COM
pensation, and under proper resuia tons.
He thinks, however, there is a need for
street railway facilities from the city
through Mount Pleasant. He suggests if
the authority lately recommended by the
Commissioners to the Rock Creek Railway
Company to build branch from the inter-
section of 18th street and the line of Su-
perior street east and north by way of 18th
street through Mount Pleasant be not ac-
cepted, then that the present bill be amend
ed SO as to authorize the lexington and
Soldiers Home Company to follow that
route. Capt. Powell suggests that the Eek
ington and Soldiers Home Company be
authorized to extend from the intersection
Of 14th and G. streets, on 14th, H and 18th
streets to Connecticut avenue, that
avenue to Florida avenue. Ontario street,
Superior street. Central avenue. and on the
line of 18th street, in Washington. to How
ard avenue. Another and perhaps a more
natural route to Mount Pleasant and the
vicinity Of the two parks for the Eckng
ton and Soldiers Home Company would
be from 18th street and Florida avenue
northwest. on 18th street and New Jersey
avenue extended, as they are expected to
be, and thence west and north on present
street or on streets to be hereafter laid out.
The intersection of 18th street and Florida
avenue Is now reached from the center of
the city by the 18th street line, which Is
controlled and managed by the same COM
pany as the lexington and Soldiers Home
railway. and would, therefore, be practi-
cally an extension of the latter system.

Sam Johnson. a colored man, who was

Frank Bell near the corner of 7th and H

trouble was the fact that the liquor had af-

Bell was going to strike him with a brick,

man for whom 1t was intended. Johnston
