COMMITTEES APPOINTED


A committee to draft bylaws was nomi-
mated by the president, consisting OF Treas
urer Thompson, Secretary Emery, Mr.. J.
]. vcrser and Mr.. John Middleton. This
committee will meet and frame the laws
which will be submitted to a meeting of the
association to be held tomorrow night at the
Riggs House.
Mr.. verser, a mem Der of the Old Dominion
Republican club made a speech in which
he promised the union with the association
OF the members of that club, an announce
ment which was received with applause.
DR.. Mills spoke on the attitude of virginia
Democrats toward the Democratic nomi-
nees. DR.. Mills is an ex- x-Confedcrates soldier
but he expressed the belief that the Old line
Democrats would be found repudiating the
Bryan ticket and voting for Mckinley and
Hobart. DIR. Mills said he had no doubt
that the present association could easily
get up q membership OF 2 500 Tor the
campaign
The chairman reviewed the issues of the
campaign briefly and regarded it as the
most important for the Republican party
since 1861. In the course of his remarks
he congratulated Republicans OF the Dis
tiICt Ou tHt sftcStioh VI tOt- NY
Parker as the mem Der OF the national com
mittee for the District. -a+
SPEECHES FULL OF CONFIDENCE.
Mr. Il. Z. Lee OF Maryland spoke on the
outlook from the standpoint of the gold
party. Mr.. Lee said that the Democrats
OF that faith could without loss OF politi-
cal honor accept the Republican nominees
as their nominees; but otherwise it was
likely that the sound money Democrats
ticket Mr. Lee looked forward to such a
result as one of the Possibilities of the
campaign of material advantage to both
of the great parties which stood for
honest money. 400
Mr. Wythe of North Carolina spoke of
the badly mixed condition OF political
affairs in his State SO that 1t was now az
most impossible to predict what the outcome
in that State would be. The fight of the
Republicanparty was however, not confined
to North Caro,ina. tbada fight on inevery
State, but the great battle, he said. would be
In Illinois and Indiana. II those two
should go Democratic he looked for Repub-
hcan defeat. He believed, however. that
q good campaign in those States would
hold them in the Republican column.
Mr.. Fortusch made a tariff speech. He
advocated a vigorous campaign on the
stump as against a Campaign of literature
After several other speeches for tariff
and sound money the association ad-
tourned to meet tomorrow night when It
is expected to be very largely recruited
from other organizations.

| Craze. 1t was at once recognized, from the
| picture OF the sea horse OF 1893 which was
presented to George Washington in the
Washington Lodge, still extant at Alex
andria. The picture is still on the walls OF
the lodge.
Capt. Williams-another captain-of
the Grabbing crew who was once a
rancher and cowboy, ordered the crabboat
alongside the scow, and with dexterous
cast of a line he lassOed the animal, which
fell on its knees, plunged wildly, and went
overheard, having, however, seriously kick
ed William Morgan in the lower part OF his
hull.
capt. Sheckell, who was Il witness to the
struggle between the crew and the horse,
lowered two OF the boats and sufficient
quantity OF life preservers for the assist
ance of the grabbing crew. After "a des-
perate struggle they succeeded in hauling
the horse to the surface, where he gave a
distinct snort and blew the foam off, at
which latter act Capt. Williams said that
| undoubtedly it was an Old Hoss. 1t took
the grabbing vessel and the Wakefeld's
boats and the three crews to tow the kick
ing, bucking animal to the Wakefield, to
which he was finally lifted and taken to
Alexandria, with a four days supply of
salt water. The animal will not live on
dry land unless his tanks are kept full OF
salt or sea water.
Capt. sheckell transferred the horse to
Capt. Padgett, who had him driven UP
King street, and left him for the night at
Venning's livery stables. From there he
was transferred to the stable of Capt.
Young, where he was installed and has
since been the wonder and admiration of
the municipality.
Capt. Young told The Times that he had
answered at least 10 600 times the present
question in Alexandria: Can 1 see your
sea horse?"
1t has not been stated that the sea
horse, after Rosa Bonbeur, as above given,
is dead. He died last night under very
peculiar circumstances. Capt. YOung's
stable boy was instructed to fill him from
time to time with sea water, quantity
OF which had been brought up by the
Wakefield. Ephraim, the stable boy. had
attached the horse to the rack with
blind bride with what he thought q
sufficient quantity of salt water, and
went off to a razor party somewhere on
Cameron street.
Capt. Young was aroused last night By q
terrible racket in the stable, accompanied
by the stamping and neighing of the other
horses. He rushed into the sea horse stall,
and found him hanging by his bride, stone
dead. He was very much in the position
