MAYOR STRAUSS AROUSED.
VIII Sink Garbage Boats In Spite I
LAW SHIFTS.

VIII Sink Garbage Boats In Spite of
Law Suits.
Mayor Strauss has been highly COM
mended by his townsmen for the prompt
action he has taken toward suppressing
the very obnoxious nuisance that the gar
bage contractors of Washington have sew
eral times perpetrated upon the citizens of
Alexandria in anchoring their scow loads
of dead animals and other filth off the city
in such a manner that the most horrible
odors are waited over the entire city by the
balmy breezes of the Potomac.
THE city's health" said Mayor Strauss
must be protected at all hazards and we
can stand the law suits afterward, II neces-
sary." Nothing short of United States
man-of-war can keep one Of these scows
OF filth from being sent to the bottom Of
the river SO strong Is the determination of
Mayor Strauss to abate the nuisance in the
manner he has chosen. Many prominent
citizens are outspoken in their indignation
against the perpetrators of the trouble. and
the end Is not yet, for they will back up
the mayor in his work of sinking the scows
which Is very effective method and leaves
no vesttge of them or their contents above
the water. Alexandrians say they will not
sleep with their windows closed and eau
d'cologne to their nostrils any longer.

A Young Boy Met His Death While

A Young Boy Met His Death While
Swimming With Some Companions.
Another death by drowning occurred in
the river Just back Of the Washington
monument shortly after 1 o'clock this af-
ternoon, the sad accident happening not
at the free bathing beach, but about five
hundred yards distant from it in the d.
rection of the Long bridge. The first that
was known Of the occurrence was the ar
rival in a breathless condition at the Office
Of the bathing beach of two small colored
boys, B. Langster and J. Chase. who ex-
citedly informed Policeman Cotter. in
charge. that a companion Of theirs named
Garfield Boynton was drowning. Officers
Phil Brown end Howard Blandy, who were
on duty at the beach, entered the life boat
and fastened to the SPOT pointed out by
Boynton had disappeared. Brown and
Blandy dived in search of the body and To-
Gated 1t at the first attempt. The hfeless
form was taken ashore and every effort
made to resuscitate Boynton, who had
been under water fully eight minutes.
A boy on a bicycle rode to the Emergency
Hospital for medical aid. The ambulance
was out in answer to a call at the time
but student named Johnson ran to the
beach. and he was followed. afew minutes
later, by DR.. Smith, the resident physician
The tongue of the unconscious boy was
drawn forward with the aid of instruments
WHISKY was poured down his throat, and
almost every other known means made use
Of In an effort to restore the beat of the
heart. but the endeavors proved futile. The
body was then placed in one of the bath
houses. There was a large crowd at the
beach ct the time of the accident which
occastoned considerable excitement.
Boynton was about twelve years of age
He had undressed and hidden his clothing
In the bushes and then entered the water
unknown to any one except Langster and

beach do not remember ever having seen
the boy before. He resided with his parents

BOTH SENATORS CHEERED.
Blackburn and Lindsay Warmly
Greeted at Louisville.

Blackburn and Lindsay Warmly
Greeted at Louisville.
By Associated Press.
LOUISVI LILLE, KY, June Ex-senator
Blackburn had been called for all day and
finally came to the front. He said at the
outset that he was opposed to w. o. Brad
ley. the republican candidate for governor
of Kentucky, and for that reason he was
opposed to the majority report on resolu-
tiers. He replied especially to the argu-
ment of Congressman McCreary with in
terse earnestness. He stood for harmony,
but he warned the convention against in
Gorsing Sherman instead of Jefferson. He
had never Endorsed republican platform,
and he did not want the Kentucky democ-
Iacy to do so today. He was for demo-
cratic bimetallism and not for the republi-
can gold standard. He was not here for
any new departure, but for old time honor
ed democratic principles and to oppose the
new-fangled policies Of the republican ele-
ment that was trying to shape the policies
today for the democracy of Kentucky.
The applause for Blackburn was tre-
mendous.
Senator Lindsay was then introduced and
made remarkably strong reply to Senator
Blackburn. His defense Of the administra-
ton. especially when he named President
Cleveland. was greeted with stirring DEM
oIstrations.
The convention reached climaxes of the
the fEsinuation that the majority report
was republican platform. His voice
sounded like the roaring of the lion, as
he warmed up in replying to the insinua-
ton that the majority Of those on the
committee or In this convention were ad-
vocates Of republican doctrines of any
kind.
Senator Lindsay was Interrupted by
numerous questions from the silver men,
among them being one, why the re-
affirming of the platform of 1892 would
not be enough?" He replied that they
wanted more of a good thing. Senator
Lindsay moved the adoption of the ma
jority report and there was response of
nays in loud cheers.
Chairman Berry announced that a re-
vision of the count by the secretaries sus-
tanned the previous announcement of the
substitution of the minority report on Gre
dentials for the majority report
The Clay men cheered this announcement
and the Hardin men precipitated another
riot.

WAGES OF sEAMEN.
Some of the Saiiers Complain of IL
Way They Are Pald.

Some of the Sailors Complain of the
Way They Are Paid.
There is a considerable amount of grum-
bling among the seamen employed in the
service of the government who are on duty
in Washington at the failure of the pay au-
thorities in settling their wages twice every
month. Some of the seamen claim that all
other government employees here receive
their wages twice each month, while they
are required to wait until the end of that
period to get their money. 1t is alleged by
them that this system is not necessary, but
is followed because the sailors are in the
habit Of needing money between pay days
and when they do are compelled to pay
high rate of interest-sometimes as much
as p per cent for the use of what they
need until pay day.. One of the seamen.
writing to The Star, alleges that the pay
masters yeomen are the sailors money
brokers. and charge them % per cent inter-
est on loans which only run a few days at
most. 1t Is notlimprobable that the Navy
Department authorities will take cog
nizance of the matter and investigate it, In
order to ascertain the truth or falsity of
the complaints that are being made.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.

No Announcement Yet Made by the

LONDON. June 26-Replying to MIR.
Henry Labouchere, member for Northamp-
ton, in the house of commons today, Mr..
Akers Douglass the conservative whip,
said his party was anxious for a dissolu-
ton Of parliament at the earliest possible
moment and hoped to be able to make a
statement on the subject on Monday next
He then moved that new writs for election
be issued in the cases of East Manchester
West Bristol, st. Georges. Hanover Square
and West Birmingham, represented re-
spectively by A. J. Balfour, the new first
lord of the treasury; Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. the new chancellor Of the exchequer
Geo. j. Goschen, the new first lord Of the
admiralty. and Joseph Chamberlain, the
new secretary of state for the colonies, all
or whom have to be reelected upon their
appointment as cabinet minister's
The mention of Mr. Chamberlain's name
was greeted with cries of Judas" from
the Irish benches
Mr.. Balfour's address to the electors of
East Manchester says that this Is not
fitting occasion to explain the proposed
policy Of the III ionists.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-06-26

At this point big row was precipitated
upon the convention.
The Hardin men. since the announcement
of the vote on the contesting delegations,
had been complaining of an error in the
count, and at the conclusion of McCreary's
speech several of them jumped on the
stage and demanded a recount They grew
violent, and for a while 1t looked like a
free fight would occur around the chair
man. The men on the floor encouraged
those on the platform, and the utmost con-
fusion prevailed.
The chairman explained it was out of Or
der to interrupt the consideration of the
resolutions committee. and offered to take
the matter up afterward, but the Hardin
men would not listen to it, and demanded
immediate action, saying the resolutions
should not be adopted until the right of the
delegates to vote was settled.
The scene for fifteen minutes was of
most disgraceful character. and the stage
was mass of pushing scramDling en-
ragged humanity, that seemed likely at any
moment to break out into bloody fight.
Administration Victory.
The chair finally declared the vote to be
Upon that portion Of the minority report
which re-affirms the platform of 90 with
out indorslng the administration.
The resolution was voted down over
whelmingly.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
Tod9y's Treasury Statement VIII
Show 1t to BE S1O7, Az ,S55.


Today's treasury statement will show the
gold reserve to be s107, AIS While no
Information has been received at the treas
ury other than that yesterdays gold de-
posita would bring the reserve up to the
amount given, it is assumed that this de-
post covers the entire amount due under
the contract Whether yesterdays deposit
of nearly 100000 was in foreign gold is
regarded as extremely doubtful. as no in
formation has reached here of the arrival
in this country of anything approximating
that amount Of gold. It Is thought, there
fore, that this deposit was made by the
syndicate to save interest This domestic
gold. Of course. will be replaced by i'm
portations within the next few days. when
the formal transfer of the bonds will be
made.
AS to the question whether the obligation
of the syndicate to use its best efforts to
protect the treasury from Withdrawals of
gold for export ceases on the deposit OF
the full amount Of gold called for by the
contract Assistant Secretary Hamlin de-
ciined to express an opinion. From other
officials however. 1t Is learned that 1t was
the understanding with the syndicate at the
time the contract was made that the obli-
cation was to continue until October 1.
The question, however. has not been FORM
ally raised. nor is 1t thought that 1t will
be raised.
No doubt is expressed in any administers
tive quarter that, Independent of the as
sumed contract obligation. the syndicate
will find it to its personal interest to con-
tinue to exercise its influence to protect
the treasury gold. Under normal condi-
tons the movement of gold usually begins
to set toward the United States about the
middle Of August or before, and even under
present conditions the officials confidently
expect that within the next very few weeks
the pressure from abroad will be greatly
relieved.
A Surplus Instead of q Deficit.
For the first time in many months the
treasury receipts for the current month
will exceed the expenditures Today tho
treasury balance sheets for the month
show surplus instead Of a deficit, and, as
the expenditures are usually light toward
the end of the month, 1t is regarded as GER
tain that the surplus will continue to grow
from now until July /.
The treasury is $46,623, oil behind in the
matter Of receipts and expenditures for the
current fiscal year, and in the Intervening
days between now and July 1t Is unlikely
that more than a million and a half Of this
deficiency will be made up. so that the
years balance sheets probably will show
that the expenditures for the year were
about $45.000O00 greater than the receipts

DARING Can THIEVES.
Two Of the Boldest in the West
Caught at Spokane.

Caught at Spokane.
SPOKANE, Wash, June 26.-The au-
thorities here have arrested two of the
most daring car thieves operating in the
west. Their plan was to spring the doors
at a station and board the train, and when
1t was in motion throw on what they want
ed. When the train slowed up they would
drop off and go back and pick UP their
plumber. A short time ago two men went
to secondhand store here and offered
to dispose Of a lot of goods they had con-
cealed few miles east Of Spokane on the
line of the Northern Pacific. The second
hand dealer communicated with the chief
of police and he directed him to go ahead
and buy the goods.
They did this, and last night the thieves
went to the place with q wagon and Sc
cured $500 worth of dry goods, boots and
shoes. and started back to town. The Off
GERS were stationed on the road and placed
them under arrest. They have also been
operating on the Great Northern. It Is
thought the men are part of an organized
band, as a telegram found on them bore
the information that car loaded with
silks was coming.
