Eight trade union organizations and thir-
ty assemblies Of the Knights Of Labor were
represented at last evenings meeting of

voted to the consideration of the practical

Of the body by some not dissatisfied with
the action of the Federation in removing
the boycott from the Washington Brewing
Company.
Delegate Brown of the marine engineers
claimed that as no satisfactory reasons
had been given to the delegates for the
action taken in that matter, he offered q
series of resolutions which were tabled by
decided vote. These resolutions recited
that the action taken by the Federation in
boycottlng the local breweries was ILL
advised, and proposed that all the Wash
iDgton breweries be taken from the un-
fair list
Delegate De Nedrey asked that the boy
eott declared against mercantile firms be
posed by several delegates. The matter
was finally disposed of by the adoption of q
substitute. submitting the question to the
locals, the Federation recommending that
organization.
The question of removing the boycott
IRON the brewers was again brought up,
and was referred to a special committee,

An Old Robbery.

Andrew Sherwood, who was arrested in
Baltimore several days ago because of a
request sent there from this city, declined
to return without availing himself of all
the privileges the law accorded him, and
his case was set for hearing before a

in the case. He is fish dealer at present

THE PERMANENT CAPITAL.


Col. Harrison Gray Otis, who formerly
occupied prominent and responsible posi-
tion IN the public printing office here, but
Tor score OF years past one Of the propri-
etors and conductor Of the Los Angeles
Times. was recently on a visit to the At
lantic coast. On his return home he was in
terviewed by reporter of the Capital, the
Los Angeles Sunday paper, when he ex-
pressed himself as stated below:
You visited Washington. of course ?,,
asked the reporter.
'Yes. after an absence of sixteen vears
and 1t has been twenty years since 1 re-
moved from there, permanently, with nv
family. to live in California"
You found many changes in the capital
city within that timer"
Yes, very many and very great Splen-
Cid Improvements in every direction both in
public and private building and in streets
and avenues. The borders of the CITY have
been greatly enlarged, and wide tracts.
which were then vacant grounds in the sub
urbs, are now compactly built up and form
Part of the city. The improvements in the
northwestern and northeastern sections of
the city particularly struck me- especially
In the region of Rock creek and the high
lands OF Woodley, where the President has
his summer home. Mr.. Cleveland made a
good thing out Of his venture in that di-
1ection. and Is understood to have cleared
up 100000 Oh one real estate transaction -
How did you find the weather."
In going over We ran into big snow
storm in Chicago. followed by severe wealth
er, but by the time we reached the borders
OF West Virginia the weather had moder-
ated, and We entered Washington with no
snow in sight and the temperature very
mild and even genial at midday l am
something Of q champion of Washington
climate. as know it very well, having lived
there for several years. For an all-round
eastern climate 1t is a very good one: but.
Of course. nothing to compare with Cali
fcrnia."
DO you think the capital will ever be re-
moved%'
''Never. 1t is located in a good spot, TAX
Ing everything into account, and / believe
1t Is located for all time. 1t is not central,
to be sure. but that cuts q small figure in
these days Of quick transit by rail and quick
communication by telegraph. The interests
of the government ard Of the people CEN
tered in Washington are too vast to be dis.
turbed for any cause save the most I'M
perative. My recent visit impressed me
more than ever with the conviction that
Washington city is a fit spot for the capital
of a great nation. At time as late even
as since the war Washington was little
more than struggling southern village, un-
worthy to be the capital Of the American
republic. but that time is past. Now 1t is
modern city, with noble buildings. miles
of magnificent streets. broad avenues and
all the features Of modern life. 1t has be-
come not only a political center. but to a
large degree center Of literature, art,
science and social culture"

what Leading Republicans Say of the
Outlook for the Candidates.
James S. Clarkson Of Iowa, who has been
at st. Louis locking after convention mat
tiers, said in an interview:
'The situation in nutshell is this: No
body will enter the convention with votes
enough by about 100 or $50 to nominate him
on the first, second, third, fourth fifth,
sixth, seventh. eighth, ninth or tenth bal
lot. The nominee, therefore, will be a Sec
ond choice man.
Mckinley leads today in the matter of
instructions and will hold this lead. Allison
is the strongest choice and will gain in
strength right along. l, therefore predict
Aliison's nomination."
Referring again to Mckinley Mr. Clark
SON said: His campaign has been SO con-
Quoted as to ALLEVIATE all the second choice
states and for tina: reason he is today the
weakest man in the race, conceding that lie
cannot be nominated on the first ballot L
cont know a single delegation tina. will go
TO him when its candidate is dropped. On
the other hand, Senator Allison is the sec
ond choice of nearly every state district
that has elected its delegates. Mr.. Reed

the figures closely for long while and then
said:

Senator Thomas Carter. chairman of the
