PHILLIPS RECENT ORDER
Metropolitan Railway EMPLOYEES Di-
rected To Buy New Coats.
They Remonstrate Against II, Though Will
ing To Equip Themselves with New
Uniforms Next Summer.

A new complication has arisen between
Metropolitan line. This grows out OF an
order issued on the 1st inst. by the Metro
politan line giving the conductors certain
instructions, namely that they must forth
with buy new coats, tina the cost of each is
ngle-brcastedr land that the cost OF each is
to be $11; and that the firm of Parker &
Bridget on Seventh street had been selected
by the company. from which the coats were
to be obtained.
This order raised quite stir among the
men and meeting was called yesterday to
investigate the circumstances.
The Street Railway Protective Union
met at Bunoh's all on Eighth street north
in the morning, in the afternoon and again
last night until near e O'Clock.
The proceedings last night were par
ticipated in by the employees of the Ana
costa line, who joined the union in a
body.
1t was the general opinion at the day
session that the order of Mr.. Phillips,
IL executed, would work great hardship,
and especially with the men paid by the
not more than 80 cents day, certainly
less than dollar.
Besides, they argued, they bought good
coats last summer. dou ble-Measted in
style. many of which are still very re-
spectacle in appearance They further
know that the F street line viii be
changed to tie electric system, and that
they would like. if they must have new
coats, to get them about that time.
The first gun OF the hostlli ties was
fired by the men yesterday. when a COM
mittee called on Parker, Bridget Co. and
notified them that they would not have the
uniforms.
MIR. Parker was seen last night, and his
statement was that the committee had
called and told him that if he made the
uniforms he would be boyeotted by the
union. He said that the men were quite
courteous and explained the situation to him.
Mr. Parker further said that his firm
had made the overcoats for the employees
Z at $15 each. but had refunded the men
$I,750, as the coats did not suit in all
respects.
Acting on what he had heard from the
men Mr.. Parker Immediately called on
Mr.. Phillips, told him OF the statement
that he would be boycotted by the union,
explained the condition or the men, and
asked that the contract be cancelled. Mr..
Phillips agreed to the cancellation without
any delay or argument.
1t is believed that Mr. Phillips will
now give the contract to some out-of-
town firm.
This was the situation when the union
met last night. They discussed it fully
and passed a resolution to appoint COM
mittee OF five to wait on Mr. Phillips
to-day to ask that the order be rescinded.
The men, 1t appears, are willing to buy
new coats later in the summer, If re-

IntercIub Boat Races.

A meeting OF the committees representing
the Columbia Athletic, Analostan and Po-
tomac Boat Clubs was held last night at
the clubhouse of the Columbia Athletic
Club for the purpose of discussing the
plan as suggested by President Grant,
C. A. c.. of holding semi-monthly inter
club boat races.
The subject was thoroughly gone over,
and all the coed points of the plan sifted
out, but without arriving at any definite
conclusion, pro or on, the meeting ad-
journed, subject to the call of the chair.
As some Of the delegates present were
members of last years Potomac River
Regatta committee. the opportunity was
taken to finally wind up the affairs of that
regatta.
The treasurer. reported that all bills
had been paid, and that there is still a
small balance in the treasury. The joint
committee then adjourned sine die.

Though Ten Years Had Changed the
Town His Love Was Waiting.
He had been away from his home town
for years and years. Which means. IN this
instance, ten years, and he had gone away
because pretty Mamie Smith hadn't
asked him to stay. Men do that some
times.
Now he had come again, says the Detroit
Free Press, and as he wandered about the
old place there was almost pain In his
heart to note the changes time had
wrought Everything was new and it

They Are So Slight as Not to Be Worth

The report OF w. L. Chambers, the United
States land commissioner to Samoa, dated
February 3, 1895, wasmade public yester-
dady Mr.. Chambers was one OF the three
commissioners appointed by the treaty
powers OF Great Britain, Germany aud the
United States, under the provisions of the
Berlin treaty to ADJUST and settle all claims
by aliens to lands in Samoa.
Mr.. Chambers says there are not thirty
American citizens in Samoa, including those
who claim citizenship by naturalization.
American interests are so insignificant that
he considers further investment on the part
the United States inadvisable.
In reference to Pago-Pago Bay, Mr.. Cham

government were examined and confirmed,
but that they are by no means SO valuable as
the Americ an public seem TO think The

before taking any futheE steps in the matter.

FEW OF THE FRIENDS OF THE
DEAD JURIST ATTENDED
THE AUCTION.
PORTER AsHE VERY INDIGNANT,
SARAH ALTHEA's FORMER GUAR
DIAN CHARGES GROSS
NEGLECT.

The estate of Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry
has been sold at last. Yesterday morning
a typical crowd of auction buyers assem-
bled in the salesrooms at 211 Pine street.
There were almost no friends of the de-
ceased jurist and his demented widow pres
ent, and the entire property, including the
piano, which brought $160, realized only
$43S 45
Senator John Fay strolled around short
time, but went away without buying any
thing. Harbor Commissioner CoInon
came in just as lot of colored photo
graphs in gilt frames were being sold. He
said he had come to buy something, but he
left the place a short time later declaring
that he knew all the Terry household fur
nishings, and he had never before seen
those pict ures.
Thomas H. Williams Jr., the horseman
and guardian of Mrs. Terry. was absent.
r. Porter Ashe. the former guardian, was
on hand, though, and watched the sale
with great interest. With the exception
of few trinkets which he bought in, the
property was almost entirely disposed OF
to dealers in secondhand goods.
Little Interest was manifested IN the sale
till the jewelry of Mrs. Terry was reached.
Two ladies' gold watches, which Mr..
Williams appraisers had valued at
$50, were sold for $47 25. A jasper match
oox appraised by Williams at 10 cents
brought 81 so. The box had been ap-
praised at 81 80 by Ashe. A pair of brace
lets valued by Ashe at $15 and by Williams
at so cents was sold for So rs, while pearl
brooch and earrings which Williams had
valued at 81 was bid up to So 25.
Porter Ashe declares that the methods
employed by the guardian at the sale were
outrageous.
81 had the jewelry alone appraised by
an expert from Hammersmith e. Field, -
he said. This man after a careful ex-
animation placed the value of the goods at
little over $1,000. Yet they were sold for
about $125. The Judges law library OF
$50 new books which he purchased only a
short time before his death to replace the
library destroyed by fire, brought only
500 S5. Everything else went at similarly
ridi culously low figures.
But what could you expect? Almost
nobody was informed of the SALE NV
brother Will hadn't. heard of it till to-day.
When l went to see Nanny Pleasant she
fairly cried and said that if she had only
known she would have sent some one to
buy in the jewelry. mum Der of Judge
Terry's friends have told me they would
have gone had they known Of the sale
Then something like the proper value OF
the goods might have been obtained, in
stead of their going for nothing to the
pawnbrokers and old clothes Dealers"
Mr.. Ashe also showed that piano some
trashy pictures and cheap-john wares haG
been listed With Mrs. Terrys goods. This
he thought was wrong, and had affected
the price brought by Mrs. Terry's prop
ertV.

partisan desires, and such matters as
would pertain to the railroads will receive
very little attention. Senators and Con-
gressmen will begin shaping their acts SO
as to inspire the confidence of their con-
stituents, and enjoy the emoluments that
follow reelection.
"You can almost assure yourself that
Congress will be busy with something far
different than the funding of railroad
debts and other matters that do not par
ticularly concern party Desires
II anticipate" said Congressman
Mcguire, "a determined effort to ac-
complish the end for which the Pacific
railroads have striven so long. 1t is
claimed by the people favoring the legisla-
ton desired by the railroads that a
majority of the new Congress is in favor of
some such measure as the Reilly funding
bill. On what this statement is based I
am not in a position to know, and OF
course / hope it is not true.
ut is difficult TO state in advance what
our campaign in Congress will be. 1t de-
pends upon the action OF the other side.

about six years ago." said Senator
Thurston, 81 sat in the gallery of the SEN
ate with Mr.. Storey of Boston watching
the proceedings of the day. He turned to
me and said, The Pacific funding bill will
come up now in about an hour I asked
him if he had ever said that before and fur
ther told him that / had heard the same
thing said two years previous. Since
that time l have been watching for
the matter TO be introduced and
it is still in apparent hiding. Sometimes
think it will never be brought up in any
way, shape or manner and that nothing
Will ever come of it. If Congress does not
act soon the Central Pacific and the Union
Pacific will go to foreclosure under the first
mortgage. If this occurs the roads will
become the property of whoever cares to
purchase them, and the Government will
get nothing. The first payments of the
mortgage fall due about December of this
year, and as the Government, through
Congress, authorized the first mortgage
ahead OF the Government debt it will
necessarily have TO be paid first.
"You ask me what in my opinion ought
to be done. l have always claimed that
Congress should act as an individual and
make some terms with the railroad whereby
something can be gained for the Govern
ment. Even if we only got the principal
without the interest it would be better than
to lose it altogether through the first
