D0INGS OF The DISTRICT
Congressman Morse lndulges in
Hot Talk to the Police.

Hon. E. A. Morse, NJ. c.. forwarded to Com
a city newspaper concerning the detention OF
one John Robinson at the Fourth precinct
police station with suspicious character
charged against his name when, as was al
legged, ''the boy had merely asked for place
TO sleep" Mr. Morse said:
IF his character was innocent why should
he be locked ND like criminal? think II
the police in this city, instead of melting out
this kind OF treatment TO innocent and inof-
Tending colored boys and people, would ap-
prehend some OF the dirty, lousy. vile vaga-
bonds who have been here since Coxeys
army came, mostly foreigners, and who
wouldn't work if they had it and who are all
the time begging in the streets, and who. II
they were washed, / suppose. would be called
white, The officers would be better employed
and relieve the city of a danger ana n
nuisance"
The letter was referred 10 the police de-
partmeat. and Lieut.. Vernon reported that
the boy had been brought TO the station by
Private Coffin. who based the charge OF ''sns-
picion'' upon the fact that he had been dis
covered in the act of trying doors and looking
into areaways and from the further fact that

The boy was not mistreated.
The attorney for the District rendered an
opinion yesterday upon a proposed amend
ment to the building regulations, extending
party wall easement or servitude TO the en-
tire District" as recommended by the build
ing inspector.
Mr. Thomas says the Commissioners have
no authority 10 extend the regulations. The
party wall easement or seryitude" is con-
fined 10 the city OF Washington.
The request of several physicians to the
poor for extra compensation for vaccinations
performed during the recent smallpox scare
was referred to Attorney Thomas for his
opinion as to the propriety OF the proposed

Woodward. of 10 cents for each vaccination,
Mr. Thomas saws that ''as the service took
place at time of threatened epidemic and
was extraordinary, the physicians may be al
allowed and paid something out OF the
emergency fund
The itemiZed statement accompanying the
papers shows that the twenty physicians to
the poor performed II, $50 vaccinations dur
ing the period. the lowest number by any
ose being 80, the highest, 2,000 There are

who exceeded 500 vaccinations.

AGAINST CASTLE.
His Nomination as Minister to Washington Strongly Opposed Council of State
 for Hawaii Chosen.

San FranciscoJuly 1.-(Corespond- ence of the United Press per Steam ship Australia, Honolulu, June 24.-
 The opposition to Castle has been es- pecally voiced by members of the Amer ican league, which comprises the most radical element in the republic, and by their organ, the Star. This paper has refrained from specifying any particular objection to the nominee but intimatss in general terms that large majority of those comprising the support of the government are firm in their conviction that Mr. Castle is not the man for this place." It also recon mends Mr Hast ings as standing well with the state department and having a good footing at the White House. He has the confi- dence of the president here.''
 The Advertiser which supports MT. Castle says Neither MT. Cleveland nor Secretary Olney have reason to believe any representative of this government might have sent, or might congratulate them on the Hawaiian policy of the ad- ministration. Frank Hastings is men toned as the proper person for the place, etc. He has many friends in Washington and many in Hawaii. Withal he is a very capable young man, but as repre- sentative in the most important position in our diplomatic and consular corps, MT. Hastings is not the man for the position. He should, if possible, be a native of Hawaii or at least a man who for many years has been acquainted with the public affairs of this country. MT. Hast ings does not possess these qualifica- tions."
 MT Castle has been generally con sidered a popular and acceptable man. It is now brought to light that there are a number of more or less influential per sons hostile to him for personal reasons, connected with law business. The fact of his having long done much work for d considerable Chinese clientage has so worked against him. How the senate will finally decide is somewhat doubt full, although the probability is in favor of MT. Castle. It is not thought in the least probable that the president would nominate MT. Hastings for the office if MT. Castle is rejected, although Mir. Dole is very friendly to him. He has never been prominent here in public af fairs, and was quite neutral in politics until after the republic was established. Some prominent leader in the revolution would naturally be chosen for the post.
 The following have been chosen mem bers of the council of state by the sen ate: c. Bolte, German; w. c. Wilder, American; P. c. Jones. American; Cecil Brown. Englishman c. c. Kennedy, Scotchman.
 By the house-Mark Robinson, part Hawaiian; John Flute, part Hawaiian; Lima Noone, Hawaiian: A. G. M. Robert son. English; c. w. Smith, American.
 Six of the ten were members of the former advisory council. The president will name the remaining five members toworrow, when the whole council of state will be sworn in.

 He cited the condition of Mexico. China. Japan and India and the condition of the labo1ing man in fhose countries as evil dences of the effect of free and unlimited coinage of silver upon the laborer.
 The speaker then asked Bryan as to what he understood by the free and un- limited coinage of silver Whether he is in favor of taking the bullion to the hints and getting the silver dollars for it at once, or whsther he is in favor of taking the bullion to the mint and getting in return paper certificates therefor.
 MT. Bryan 'If the bullion can be coined fast enough, then I will take the silver: but if it can't be coined fast enough then I am willing to take the paper certificates and wait till my bull lion is coined"

MT. ". c. Ledbetter, president of the Woodstock Iron company and MT. w. A. Davis, secretary and treasurer of the Anniston City Land company, and pres ident of the Alabama Mineral Land com pany, were in the city yesterday They went to Blocton on the Mineral train in the afternoon to see some coal lands in that section.
 The coal mine recently opened at Belle Ellen by MT. DeBardeleben and asso- ciates is on land belonging to the Ala bama Mineral Land company.
 While in Bibb county MT. Ledbetter will investigate the coal in that vicinity The Woodstock furnaces when running obtain their coke supply from Bibb and Jefferson counties, and as the furnaces are to be blown in shortly arrangements for coke will have to be made within the next few weeks.
 Mir. Ledbetter stated to an Age-Herald reporter that the coke furnaces of the Woodstock. company, located in Annis- ton. were undergoing repairs which would require about four months to com plete. When finished the two furnaces, originally built for capacity of 100 tons each will turn out 400 tons of iron per day, thus doubling their capacity. They will be ready 10 go in blast some time in November.

A WEATHER BUREAU
Will in All Probability Be Located Here-Mr. \. Chaffee Talks But Little, Yet
 Encouragingly

An Age-Herald reporter interviewed MT. F. P. Chaffee, local forecast official of the weather bureau at Montgomery, who arrived here yesterday morning for the purpose of ascertaining how the work of the bureau could De best extended here.
 MT. Chaffee was not very talkative on the matter, saying that it had as yet as sumed no very definite shape. His visit here was directed by the chief of the bu- reau at Washington. who has been urged by the Commercial club of this city to give Birmingham the same benefits of the weather service as are now enjoyed 0by other cities of its size and importance. The executive committee of the Conner : oial club will meet MT. Chaffee today and express their wishes in the matter, after which Mr. Chaffee will make his report and recommendations to the chief of the bureau, and from the general tenor of the interview, it is safe to say that the interests of Birmingham will be ben efited by MT. Chaffees recommends tions in the matter

the price on eggs and make them all worth 25 cents. If the government can take all the silver at $1.29 per ounce it will be worth that price. France main tained the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 151s to l. and there were not as many people in France at that time as there are in the United States. Mexico cannot maintain the free coinage of sill yer because Mexico is a small country and she is not as large as the United States.
 Mr. Clarke was introduced by Mayor Lavaretta and spoke in substance as fol- lowS
 As far as I was concerned, it was un- derstood that this discussion should deal with the question as to whether the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to 1 is for the benefit of the laboring man of the United States, and after the worl<ingman has listened to the nicely worded sentences of my oppo- nent does he know any more about the matter than he did at the start? There are many of you who can make tirade at Carlisle, and there are about half a dozen who can throw mud at him-not more than half dozen, since Kentucky spoke the other day. (Applause) It is true that Kentucky elected free coin age man. but she did it on a platform in- dorsing Cleveland and in favor of sound money. If any man undertakes to buy eggs at 50 cents per dozen that are only worth 25 cents all the world over he will have a pretty trade and finally he will have to quit buying eggs, because his money will give out. My opponent, in saying that Mexico cannot carry the fred coinage of silver successfully admits that it is burden for any country to carry, and that because the country is a little larger it will be better able to bear the burden. Congressman Bankhead said the other night when he spoke here that all mo w onnOCad tho rpnpal of the ID per cent bank tax were in favor of the free coinage of silver. and then turning to Bryan, he asked: Did you vote for the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks?"
 T did not" replied Bryan
 Then" said Clarke. 'I leave you to settle that little difficulty with Bank head when you get to Birmingham"
 He announced himself in favor of both gold and silver if they can be kept in the business of the country. The differ ences between us is this: He favors sil- yer monometallism while I favor the limited use of silver along with the un- limited use of gold In the reference to Carlisle by Bryan he said that Carlisle was right, but that he was speaking of tho time of the limited, and not the free and unlimited use of silver as money. and said that there had been no contrac- ticn of the currency of the country, but on the other hand there was more money in circulation in the country today than there had ever been before in the history of the United States He cited the finan- cial policy of the country from 1792 to
