Laborers' Interests Not Guarded ia
District Contracts.
President T. L. Holbrook of the Wash
IL gton Brick Company has written the fol-
lowing letter to the Commissioners, which
will explain itself:
MY attention has been called to the fact
that the clause which for many years has
been inserted in all contracts made by the
Commissioners. providing that the con-
tractor shall produce evidence, when re-
quired to do so, that all persons furnishing
material or labor under said contract have
been settled with, has been eliminated
from all contracts made during the last
fiscal year, thus taking ii out Of the power
of the Commissioners to protect laborers
and SubcontractorS on District work, Should
they desire to do SO. Mechanics, laborers
aid dealers in material have no lien against
District buildings, on account of the in
te1est of the general government in said
buildings and yet the act of Congress ap-
proved August 13, 1894 for the protection
oY sucn persons on buildings erected by the
United States is held not to apply to Dis
trict buildings, on account of the joint in
terest of the people and the United States.

matter, and trust you may see fit, after
consultation with the accounting officers Of

Justice Harlan and Reginald Fendall,
representing the Garfield Hospital. had a
COZ ference with the Commissioners this
morning with a view of dedcating suffi-
cient ground along the east line of Gar
field Hospital property to widen Sherman
avenue, as shown on the plans for street
extension. The appropriation act for 1896
contemplates such dedication and author
izes the Commissioners to rebuild terraces,
slope and sod the bank and repair the
roads destroyed by the grade of Sherman
avenue. 1t is now proposed to construct a
retaining wall on the parking line of Sher-
man avenue, along the entire eastern front
of the hospital grounds, which wall will
support the terraces, which latter are all to
be sodded. At the present time the appro-
and the hospitaF authorities urged the
Commissioners to include in their esti-
mates to Congress for the next fiscal year
an item covering the necessary expendi-
ture. This the Commissioners promised to

ORE CON AND S!LVE r
Senator Mitchell on the Republican Club
Conventions Recent Action.
No Proper Index of the Real Senti-
mcnt of the Republicans
of the State.

When the Oregon state republican clubs
met at Portland few days ago and re-
fused to adopt free silver resolution
many sound money members of that party
throughout the country interpreted the
action as meaning that republicans of Ore
gon would come into their ranks and would
not demand great concessions for silver
at the national convention. This action
was very generally commented on by east
ern newspapers being important in
showing the drift of sentiment on the
money question in Oregon and as meaning
that there was a change of front among
the silverites in that state.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon is in the city
and when seen by Star reporter today
was asked what he understood to have
been the action of the republican club con-
vention on the money question. Mr. Mitch
ell was not inclined to enter into a dis
cussion of the action Of the convention,
but finally replied:
No Indication of Real Sentiment.
Whatever action was taken there on the
money question must not be regarded as
any proper index of the real sentiment
Of the republicans of Oregon on the money
question. for the reason that many of the
leaders of the republican party, who are
StioHS ileu, NeItf OppOSeu " lual
club convention taking any action on the
question at all, simply as matter of pol
Icy. Hence members OF the convention
favorable to silver weret divided, and, as
l understand, resolution introduced on
the subject of silver was laid on the table.
1T is proper to state that the republicans
of Oregon, however, are divided, as they
are elsewhere throughout the country, on
the money question, although l am strongly
of the opinion that great majority of the
republican voters of Oregon are today IA
vorable to the unlimited coinage of silver
at the existing ratio. Still, the holding of
an opinion by any one either to the single
gold standard or in favor of unlimited coin
age of silver is not and cannot be regarded
a test of his repGblicanism. For many
years 1 have been, and stin am, unalter-
ably opposed to the single gold standard.
l have believed, and stin believe firmly in
favor of the restoration of silver as a
money metal at the existing ratio AS l
have long since lost hope OF having that
accomplished by international agreement, 1
am in favor of Independent bimetallism by
congressional action in this country.
Believes In Americanism.
Il do not believe, as do many, that the
ills predicted by these gentlemen. would fol-
low such independent action upon the part
Of the United States. 1 believe in Amer
icanlsm in its fullest sense. 1 believe the
time has about passed when the United
States should seek counsel OF Great Britain
or any other foreign natioh on earth as to
the policy that should be pursued in this
country, either commercially, politically Or
monetary"

cutive Intervention.
ELLICOTT CITY, Nd, May 2S.-Jacob
Henson, under sentence OF death for the
murder Of Daniel F. Shea, was hanged by
lynchers about 1 o'clock this morning.
No shots were fired, and the mob dis
persed as quietly as 1t had assembled.
A placard was left pinned to Henson's
breast, on which was written: I'VE respect
our court and judges. Gov. Brown forced
the law-abiding citizens to carry out the
verdict of the jury. Whitecaps."
The lynchers feared that the governor Of
Maryland might be induced to interfere
and commate the dead mans sentence to
life Imprisonment.
The grounds for this apprehension came
from the recent repeated visits 10 the jail
Of one or two specialists In mental diseases,
to inquire into Henson's sanity, and the re-
ported intention of Gov. Brown himself to
come out here for the same purpose one
day this week.
The murder Of Daniel F. Shea was COM
mitted about three months ago. With no
other incentive than robbery. the negro
beat his employers head with an iron bar
and left him dead in a room over the lat
ters store, where he had lived alone. Hem
sons arrest, trial and conviction followed.
An application for new trial was refused
by Judge Thomas Jones on April /, on
which day Henson was sentenced to be
