DISTRICT HOME RULE.
Gu nd iidates for the National Repr
Itcou CouyanfiOu Talk Ahout II

ca md idates for the National Repub-
Iicnn Convention Talk About 1t.
There was but a small attendance at the
mass meeting held last evening in Israel
Baptist Church on Eleventh street, between
+ and F streets northeast.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of giving the voters of the old Nineteenth
assembly district an opportunity to hear
the candidates for the national nominate ing
convention express themselves on the gues-
tion of ''home rule in the District.
r. II. Ruffin, president of the Nineteenth
precinct club, made an effort to organize
the meeting, but objection was raised,
on the ground that his term of office had
expired. After a great deal of excited ar
guncnt Mr.. Ruffin Withdrew his claim
and Harry Edwards was elected chairman
and Andrew Belk, secretary.
The only candidates present were DR..
G. Il. Purvis and Daniel Murray. Mr.
Charles Ortlipp, however, was present by
proxy, Mr.. Richard Laws beng aCshor-
lied to speak for him.
The candidates all favored ''home rule"
for the District and pledged themselves to
do all in their power to secure 1t, if sent
to the convention. DIR. Puryis after
having defined his position on home rule
referred to the matter of establishing a
whipping post and the lynching of negroes
in the South. Lynching in the South, he
sail, was more of "a custom than ANYTHING
else and that section of the country would
have to be revolutioniZed socially, morally
rciigiously and politically before any change
Tor the better could be expected.

SOFT COAL STRIKE.
Official Notices Sent To, Thousands of
PENNSYLVANIA Miners.


Dubois. Pa, Oct. 19.-It.is now n settled
fact that there is To he a general strike
in the soft coal country, and at a season
OF the year when such movement is bound
TO cause great La rdships upon miners aEd
their families.
The recent action OF the miners In Clear
field, whereby II was decided that on ac-
count OF tee failure OF the various operators
in Northern and Central Pehns ylvania to
grant the request OF cents per ton
asked for by the convention, held October
2, q general strikc-be declared; has been
inGorsed by the miners OF this place and
committees have been appointed 10 solicit
food and financial help for the miners and
their families. The outlook is exceedingly
discOuraging for those workers who are
dependent on the coal industry for a iiv-
ing.
Tie strike is complete from Cambria
county TO this region and in Central and
Western Pennsylvania. Not mine is now
being worked. Fully $4,000 men are in
this movement, including 400 employees
of Bell, Lewis & Yates, who have been
out for SIX weeks The leaders i'll the strike
counsel n policy OF peace and will try 10
accomplish their ends without having re-
course to violence.
Official notice was sent out to-day from
Phillipsburg to all the mines in the Clear
field AMI Beech Greek regions, informing the
nliners of the action taken by the Clearfield
convention and advising the men that sus-
pension of all work is asked of them after
Saturday. The passing of today shows
that the operators do not intend to ask for
a conference and that they Will not grant
the advance unless conditions change.

CONFER AS TO ENDEAvORS.
Young Christians Who Are lnfroduc
ing Mnny New Methods.

Youny Christians who Are IntrOduc-
ing Many New Methods.
A new era in Christian work in many
churches is being ushered in by the Chris
tian Endeayor societies. This was shown
by the conferences OF committees last
night.
There were nine conferences in session
with n total attendance of 476. The En-
deayorers are business-likc and give exact
figures.
AT the Prayer-mceting conference, led by
Miss Anna J. Bell, there were 30; LOOK
out Miss Lizzie NJ. Warman, 20; Music,
Mr.. Charles s. Clark, 80; Missionary, Miss
Florence Shuttle, 10; Good Citizenship.
Mr.. w. II. Penpel, 20; Social, Mr.. George
K. Linkins, 65; Sunday School, Mr.. Irwin
b. Linton, 40; Good Literature, Mr.. W. N.
Weston, 16; and Calling Relief and Flower,
Miss Emma Z. Kofler, %.
The first three were held at calvary
Baptist Sunday School House; the next
two at Mt. Vernon Place Methodist, and
one each in order at st. Paul's Lutheran,
Street Baptist, First Congregational,
and Fourth Presbyterian.
These conferences are a renewal OF efforts
to arouse the whole membership to activity
which were first tried last year and proved
very. successful They gave new ideas and
infused new life into committee work. In
the 1irSt conference tueTe were Suort PAPERS
and talks; in the second, topics for open
discussion; last night IL was question and
answer.
From five to dozen questions We're pre-
pared for each of the nine committees and
published in q fourpage circular letter
sent ont by President NJ. NJ. Shand and Sec
retary Hermon c. Metcalf two weeks ago.
In addition ever member was encouraged
to ask any question that pressed itself
upon his attention. New ideas were at
premium. The leader was not expected to
moropolize the time by any means.
One way suggested out of the dilemma
was to have two leaders, one good to off
set the poor. Another way was to let
the whole committee lead, along with the
leader needing help. A third plan was to
have everybody instructed before hand to
take hold promptly and with spirit.
In this latter way, 1t was stated, it fire.
quently happened that an unusually help
ful meeting resulted.
In the lookout committee the problem
is part of the Endeavor plans to keep track
of what each member is actually doing.
For this purpose a record is made of at
tendance at church, Sunday-school and
prayer meeting. The lookout committee
at any time is able to furnish data upon a
members movements.
The Good Literature Conference con-
sidered the distribution OF papers and maga-
zines to hospitals, refomatories and
prisons. Also the question how the COM
mittee can cooperate with other commit.
tees, was talked over.
The evening times., 1895-10-19
LABOR DISPUTE SETTLED.
Mr.. Albert Cury's Case Considered by
a Joint Committee.

At n Joint meeting, held last evening
of the Executive Board of ID. A. sc, X. OF
L. =, the Contract Committee of the Fedora
ton of Labor. and the Executive Conn
mittee of the Plumbers and Gas-fittcrs'
Union, the matters in dispute between the
latter organiZat ton and Mr.. Albert Cary,
OF the National Capital brewing Company,
were fully considered, and as a result,
an aniicable settlement of the difficulty
was practically reached.
At the last meeting of the Federation OF
Labor, on complaint Of the Plumbers and
Gas-fitters, Mr.. Cary was declared un-
fair.
The sense of the joint committee is that
the gas fixtures in house No. 732 North
Capitol street, shall be furnished by a
union firm and hung by union plumbers and
gas filters, and recognized as such by
ID. A. SO, K. of L., and the local Fedora
ton of Labor.
The Federation of Labor and d. A. Sc,
K of L., at its next session will doubtless
confirm the action of the joint executive
boards.
The report is signed by NJ. J. DAILY,
chairman, Plumbers and Gas-fitters' Union
d. A; Chas. j. Wells, Local Federation;
Michael Cuff, chairman, Executive Board,

New York, Oct. 19.-Matthew Stanley
Quay, OF Beaver Falls, Pa, Is coming to New
York to see Thomas c. Platt, and within
forty eight hours there will be held in this
city one Of the most important political con-
fcrences of the year.
These two distinguished Republican lead
ers have not met since each won n victory
within the party in his own state, which in
surcs them control of the delegates from
their respective States 10 the next Republi-
can National Convent ion.
There are seventy-two delegates from
New Yorl; and siXt y -fou from Penns ylvania,
total of 1876 delegates, or enough, IL
united, to probably insure the nomination of
any candidate favored by Mr.. Piatt and Mr..
Quay.
ONLY A SUMMER CANDIDATE.
The Republican State Convention con
trollcd ny Mr.. Platt indorsed Gov. Morton
for President. Mr.. Quay and the Pennsyi
vania Republicans are not committed TO any
candidate.
Rulnors have got around That Gov. Nor
ton Is only summer candidate. and that ii
there is any doubt a bout his nominate ion he
will get out of the way at Just the right
time for Mr.. Platt to swing the New York
delegation around to another candidate e from
the East. That is why Mr.. Quay and Mr..
Platt are going TO have a talk.
Thomas b. Reed, of Maine, is in the city,
and his presence at this time. in view OF the
coming of Senator Quay may be significant.
BIG GUNS GATHERING.
Chairman n Thoma H. Ca rtcr, ofthe Republi-
can national committee, is here, Gen.
James s Clarkson, of Iowa; ". NJ. Hahn,
OF Ohio; Gen. L. 7. Michencr, OF Indiana:
L. c. Cheney, OF New Hampshire and other
members Of the Republican national com
mittee are in The city. They are 10 have
talk with Chairman Carter about Ealing
the committees together To discuss time and
place for the next national convention
No weli-informed Republican will CUES
tlon the proposition that Mr.. Platt, Mr..
Quay. Gen. Garrison and Mr.. Hahn, of
Ohio, can dictate the nomination of the next
Republican candidate for President If they
can unite and control the delegates from
their respective States.
That is why the proposed conference is
of special importance at this time. 1t may
decide the fate of several Jspirants for the
Republican nomination.

HALL WAS LET OFF EASY.
The Pet Speakeasy Offender Pays
$50 Fine

The Hall liquor case was finally disposed of
before Judge Miller in the police court
yesterday morning, after a delay of almost
two months, and the gentleman whose
Sunday barroom has caused So much com
ment within that time was subjected to Il
fine of $50, which he paid.
About two months ago Policeman Greer
OF the Fourth precinct, filed an information
with Prosecuting Attorney Purh charging
Frank Hall, whose saloon is on the corner
OF Seventh and h streets southwest, with
keeping an open bar on Sunday. Accord
ing To the police Hall had been Il frequent
and flagrant yiOlatur of the Sunday law,
but although before the court several times
they were never able to secure IL conviction.
After consultation with Attorney Thomas.
Mr.. Pugh decided to hold up the informa-
ton until second ease could be mad ON
Hail, in which event, according 10 section
13 of The excise law his license would be
revoked, and he would be unable To obtain
new one within two years. This Mr.
Pugh did TO enable him to bring both prose
cutions within one license year, as required
by the law.
Upon his return from his vacation a
couple of weeks ago, however Mr. Thomas
decided that il would be better to try the
case at once, and n warrant was issued on
the old Information. Hail was arrested
and, when arragned in the police court
pleaded dnotGuiltyandden a iurytrial.
The case was set for trial yesterday.
When IL was called yesterday, however,
Lawyer c. Maurice Smith, representing
the defendant, withdrew the demand for a
jury trial and entered plea of not
guilty. In his remarks to the court he
stated That IL was his clients first offense,
Hall never having been convicted before.
and asked for lenient consideration.
Judge Miller accordingly imposed the low
est penalty, a fine of $50, and, after paving
IL, Han left the court room and the case was
ended

MOSBY SUGGESTED WALKER
Thinks the Virginian a Good Man
for the Republican Vice.
Long Way Toward Breaking
the Solid South.

Col John 8. Mosby, looking but little
older than when he was conspicuous
figure around Washington, arrived here
yesterday from San Francisco. He has come
here to attend to some law business, and
will probably remain In the city u week Or
or two. Discussing the political outlook.
Col Mosby said:
II am OF the opinion that the Republican
nominee will be either Mckinley or Nor
ton. If Morton We're few years younger
should say the chances were in his favor, but,
under existing conditions, l think Mckin-
hey is foremost in the race.
The next campaign will show some re-
narkablc changes in the political senti-
mcnt OF the different sections, and If the
Republicans had the courage to nominate
for the second place upon the ticket an ex-
Confederate they would make some inrOads
into the South which would be surprising.
II should like to see Gen. James A. Walk
er, OF Virginia, nominated for the Vice
Presidency, and l believe If this We're done
the Republicans would carry Virginia and
several other Southern States"
what effect upon the politics of the
South do you think the death of Gen.
Malone will have"
1T will prove n heavy blow TO the
Democrats of Virginia." replied Col. Mos
by. without meaning TO disparage Gen.
ttt 'fl', HtNfftHtltSS DCiieNt .Or
several years past lie had been or the
utmost service to the Democrats. Their
dislike for him served to keep them TO-
gethcr. II there were the slightest danger
of division in their ranks 1t was crly
necessary 10 raise the cry that Malone. as
the Republican bass, was striving TO gain
control of the State, i'll order 10 drive them
all hack to their allegiance.
"Mahone's natural successor as the
leader OF the Republicans in the State is
Gen. James A. Walker. He is n strong
man, and If he should he nominated as
the Republican candidate for the Vice
Presidency, would add strength 10 the
ticket"
"A good many people, said the colonel,
'.think the North would refuse to vote
for Southern man, and especially for
one who wore the gray uniform. Now this
is all a mistake. The people of The North
have dismissed the war from their minds
and the only section in which feeling
against a man because tie fought with the
South exists is in the West.
while l am absolutely opposed TO the
1t will be Overwhelmingly defeated in the
next campaign" cont inued Col. Mosby,
"the agiiat ion has done this much ruod-
it has taken the minds OF the people off
the war and has given them n common
cause 20 fight for. no matter which side
of the controversy they take. This may
mark. to some extent. the breaking down
of the lines bet wcen the old parties. but
am not prepared To say that il viii 10 any

COnstantinople, Oct. 19i-At a meeting

and other firearms were then found on the
Armenians. These were seized by the
searchers. The weapons will be deposited
in the ministry of war in parcels bearing the

As for amusement, the comedians make
the sterncst features relax. Portrayals OF
native character, with its ccceDtricitics
and conceits, open the way for bright
comedy, and the comedians are quick to
grasp the situation.
Old Southern melodies, though they may
not meet all the requirements of the class
ical musical ear, strike the popular fancy,
and in these the artists of the company are
perfectly ut home.
Grotesque dances of the South afford
them another opportunity. The crack
