To Debate the silver Question.

Arrangements have been made for a pub
lie meeting for the discussion of the finan-
cial problem at Typographical Temple on
Friday evening next. which is expected to
be an event of great interest to the friends
of organized labor and the public generally.
The disputants will be Mr.. E. NJ. Blake.
chairman Of the legislative committee of
the Federation Of Labor Of the District. and
w. w. Curry Of Indiana.
Az Is well known, Mr.. Blake Is one of the
most earnest advocates Of free coinage in
the District of Columbia, and as he is a
ready debater and able speaker there Is no
reason to doubt that he will make a very
interesting presentation of the question
from his standpoint.
1t was at first intended that the gold
side should be advocated also by a local
speaker, but the committee having the
matter In charge were unable to secure one.
and they finally applied to the Republican,
national committee for a speaker At the
request of the latter, Mr. Curry will renIyr
to Mr.. Blake. Mr.. Curry is one of the fore.
most friends of the gold standard in his
state, and he is also an able and ready
talker.
The meeting Friday will be under the aus
pieces Of Excelsior Assembly. No. 1872.
Knights Of Labor, which has determined fn
set apart the third Friday evening in each
month until the election in November FOR
the discussion of financial and other eco
nomic questions

THE GAs,MoToR GOES
successfu} Test sf the New Agent fer Rapid
Transit.
Two TrailerS Lsatled With Passenger
-'''' Taken 0ser the AnaeOstfa
Halfway Tracks.

The gasoline or gas motor, which was
taken Sunday last to Anacostia for trial or
the tracks Of the Anacostia Railway Com
expected to be the means of providing rapid
transit between the city and the south side
of the Eastern branch, was given test las,
night, and. so far as could be noticed. II per
formed everything that Mr.. Thomas c. Pole
the inventor, claimed for it.
The motor was started from Anacostia at
little before II o'clock, and was run to the
corner of Az street and Missouri avenue
at a speed of about five miles an hour. There
seemed to be no ques ton that much great
er ra'e or speed could have been developed
had MI Pole, who was operating the car
so desired, but this was not what was cspe-
cially wanted to be ascertained on the first
test
That the motor would mote" and was
also able to pull two trallcrs filled with
passengers was demonstrated to the salts
Il ction or all persons who made the trip.
Inc car made a great deal of noise, but
TINS was attributed to Mr.. Pole to the
fact tina: all the machinery was new and
mis- caused much friction. In reference to
the matter Of speed Mr.. Pole said it would
nave been very easy. to attain speed OF
twelve miles an hour had he wished to run
the car so rapidly.
At the conclusion of the test the car was
run down to Canal street, where it was
stored for the night, and today was taken
TO AnacoStia preparatory to making further
experiments with it tonight
The motive power used last night was
generated from gasoline, and It was stated
that 2la gallons of the fluid would be suffi-
Gent to run motor drawing two trailers
from the depot in Anacostia to the ter
minus III Washington and return.

LIQUOR DEALERS AND LABOR.
Position of the Federation Stated by
President Jordan.

POSITION OF the Federation Stated by
President Jordan.
Referring to the article in last evenings
Star with reference to the existing trouble
between the brewers of this city and D.A.
GO, K. Of L., and the local Federation Of
Labor. Mr.. e. L. Jordan, president of the
Federation Of Retail Liquor Dealers today
said that grave injustice was done to the
subcommittee Of the executive board of the
federation who held the recent conference
with the trewers and their representatives
looking to final settlement of this pro-
tracted fight. Mr.. Jordan writes to The
Star: The article above referred to says.
In part The first proposition submitted
was by MIR. Jordan and his associates, and
was 10 the effect that the brewers would
agree to employ none but union men, recog-
MED as such by the local Federation and
IA. vi. X. of L.. and required that all
agreements made by the brewers with the
Trades Council be declared void and of no
erect Now, this Is absolutely incorrect.
as our mission was to ask the brewers IL
they would discontinue to discriminate
AGAINST o.A 81 and the local Federation of
Labor in the employment of all labor, and
this the brewers cheerfully consented TO
do. providing d. 66 and the local Fedora
ton of Labor would withdraw all OPPOSE
ton to the products of the brewers and
also declare the boycott off, and support
the products of said brewers. We knew
nothlng about any contracts existing be-
tv cen the Central Labor Union and the
Building Trades Council and the brewers,
and consequently could not have asked to
nave them declared void and of no effect.
NOR would we under any circumstances
had we known of such contracts. Our pur-
pose Is not to offend any labor organiza-
tion or In any way interfere or take any
side In any controversy going on between
them. Our mission was ore of peace. and
1t is sincerely hoped It may not be distorted
or interpreted or understood otherwise

MISSING MEDICAL STUDENT.
Effort to Find Young Holland, Who
Disappeared Last Year.

Effort to Find Young Holland, Who
Disappeared Last Year.
William r. B. Holland, the young man
who disappeared from here in December
last year. has not yet been heard from. To-
day Major Moore issued circular offering
a reward of $50 for Information concerning
the whereabouts of the missing young man,
dead or alive. The circular reads:
William r. B. Holland, white; nineteen
years old; feet or inches tall; well
built; fair compilations; dark chestnut hair
blue-gray eyes; smooth face: dark. heavy
eyebrows, nearly meet; when last seen wore
dark suit of clothes: carried gold hunt
ing case watch, with initials ". r. B.. H.
on outside case, long gold chain attached
had a scar across the first two fingers Of the
left hand: is well educated, and good mu-
sician: last heard from December 12, 1895,
when his mother received a note from him
saying he was going to New York city. Has
studied medicine nearly three years. and 1t
is thought he may seek employment in some
hospital or dispensary.'
Holland is the young medical student who
went from here with the intention of stop
ping in New York, but his failure to cor
respond with his family caused them some
alarm, and, after an Intellectual search of
several months, his parents asked the as
sistance of the police. The young man had
frequently expressed desire to practice his
profession on the water, and. as heretofore
stated in The Star, it is thought that he has
possibly gone to Cuba.

The Garbage Cremat0ry.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:'"''rt 4, -
AS q member of the South Washington
Citizens Association, desire to say a word
relative to one or two statements in the
article upon the garbage service, published
in The Star Of the 10th instant.
The writer of that article apparently as
sumes that the citizens of South Washing
ton have no further complaint against the
operation of the ,crematory. On the con-
trary, it Is just as odorous and objection
able as ever, and the only reason that COM
plants and protests have not continued to
pour in is that DR.. Woodward was finally
forced to admit that the crematory emitted
an Objectionable odor.
DIR. Woodward had agreed, not only to
send an inspector, but to visit the crematory
himself at any time we should send for him.
AS our object in making the request was to
convince him, there was no need to call him
out at night after he told us he was con-
WINGED.
The statement that on the one occasion
when he was summoned the trouble was
too much smoke rather than an excess OF
odors, is news to US. The crematory, at
times, emits considerable smoke when in
opera ton, but, singuiarly, when the odor is
greatest the smoke Is not 50 dense
On the occasion to which DR.. Woodward
refers we sent for him to observe the odor,
not the smoke, and he did observe the odor
and, to his own satisfaction, traced it to the
crematOry.
DIR. Woodward may be correct in his state
ment that the crenatory consu the limit
of sixty odd tons day In a complete and
sanitary manner, SO far as the destruction is
concerned, but it does not consume it in a
non-odorous manner, as any of the residents
of this section will testify, and as we are
confident Dr. Woodward will admit
The greater portion Of the garbage is be-
ing hauled down the river, to the perfect
satisfaction of the health officer-and with
out complaint. Whyinot haul 1t all away
in the same mannerf 1t would be cheaper
than paying so much a ton for cremation
would be satisfactory to all sections, and
would relieve our owerridden section of a
nuisance which the Commissioners have not
had the temerity!to thrust upon any other
part of the city, or even to officially accept
in it's present location. NJ. J. BROWN.

REED Bird SEASON.
The Time When They May He Hunted
Fast ApRrOachfng.

The Time When They May he Hunted
Fast Approaching.
Ten days from now the marshes of the
Potomac river and the Eastern branch will
be visited by scores of gunners, and If
some of them are not filled with bird shot
on the opening day Of the season. the rec
ord in this direction will be broken. The
law which protects small birds will then
give the gunners the legal right to shoot,
and thousands of reed birds. blaekb:rds
and ortolan are almost certain to be killed.
This seasons prospects for plenty Of game
are brighter than usual, because of the
condition of the marshes where the birds
flock to feed on the wild oats. Early in
the summer the warm weather gave the
oats good start, and then the favorable
weather for growing followed. e" The 1oa t3
are now ripe and the birds are more plen-
tiful than usual for so early III the season.
Many of the city's expert gunners have
been about the marshes during recent
days, and most of them are of the opinion
that while the oats are in good condition
and the birds Will probably be plentiful,
there will be some trouble in getting the
birds after they fall, because the oats are
SO tall and dense In many places Il is now
almost impossible to operate a skiff and
until the marshes are well beaten the gun
ners expect to be able to make very little
Roadway in the matter OF finding the birds
after they have killed them..- Although the
law does not permit the slaughter of the
birds until the 1st of September, there is
some little shooting being done now, but
no arrests have been made, as II is almost
impossible for the police to apprehend the
guEners. 1t is impossible for the police
boat Joe Blackburn to get up the Eastern
the mounted officers cannot do much about
the regions Of the marshes

The Roadwnys In the White Lot.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Stars raid on the street sweeper sug-
gests an Inquiry concerning the condition
of the driveways around the White Lot
ard Monument Grounds. Why are they
not repaired? They are simply in horrid
condition. and the wonder>is that Col Will
son. our worthy and most highly esteemed
fellow townsman, has not corrected the
evil before this. The surface of these roads
is completely washed off. leaving cart loads
of loose stones and thousands of others
projecting upon the rcadbed until 1t is pos
itively dangerous to drive, walk or wheel
upon them. This condition IS largely due
to the excessive driving through these
grounds during the Endedvorers' sojourn
among us. and with the rains constantly
washing the road sand into the cutters,
which IS shCveied out by The boss laborer
and carted off instead OF being replaced
upon the road to cover the protruding
stones and MI the ever-incrsasing ruts 1t
may be that there are no available funds
Tor this purpose (Which wolld seem to be
the only excuse In the premises) but
whatever the cause, it is confidently be
heNed the remedy will be prompt when
proper attention is called to ii. X.

Burke. comedy and well-educated colored
girl, twenty years OF age, who lives with

night swallowed n dose of laudanum. The
young woman procured the drug from a
South Washington pharmacist on the pela
that she was afflicted with earache. The

and has assistants worked on the patient
fer several hOuIS and was then sent to

The girl explained her rash act by saying
that she was tired of living. 1t was sug-
