The PAYERS Union.

The regular weekly meeting of the
PAYERS Union was held last evening at
No. sos 18th street northwest, with Pres
ident WEIGH in the chair.
Before proceeding to the transaction Of
any other business the unicn adopted by
unanimous vote, a resolution of thanks 20
The Evening Star for publishing the state
ment of the union in reference to their
controversy with the District Commission
ers in the matter of paving wo.k.
An amusing discussion occurred during
the considera ton of resolution, which
vas finally adopted, and which had for its
object the prohibition of any member of
the union from working with uon-union
men. 1t was stated that not until the
PAYERS learned that the District Commits
sioners had adopted the plan of placing
regular payer and member of the union At
the head of a gang of laborers, and that
the duty Of the former was to instruct his
subordinates how to do paving, were the
members of the union aware that they had
been the involuntary agents for the estab-
Eshment of a paving school.
The cons ensus of opinion was that the
union does not want any graduates of that
sort, and they determined to take away
from the school all its professors, which the
enforcement Of the resolution is expected
to ACCOMPLISH. :.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, September 24.-Sena-
tor German is expected at the democratic
headquarters tomorrow. when an important
conference on registration will be held, the
outcome of which is being eagerly awaited
by regular democrats. Although the boards
of registry have been sitting only three
days the bulk Of the republican vote is
already registered. and extraordinary ac-
tivity has been manifested by the republic
can leaders to insure q full party vote
The democrats on the other hand have let
things go by the board as far as systematic
effort to get the vote out is concerned, and
unless they rouse themselves a large pro-
portion Of their voters will not get their
names on the books this year.
The rank and file of the party is for Bry-
an. and little exertion on the part of the
leaders is all that Is necessary to get them
registered 1t is understood that at tomor-
rows meeting. II the old leaders are found
unwilling to devote their time to getting
the vote registered in the few days that
remain, Senator German will call upon
more enthusiastic lieutenants who will
prove more energetic.

man of the democratic congressional COM

Informed that your republican friends were
circulating campaign literature in the navy
yard and through the machine shops Of
the same, reports as follows:
Careful inquiry has been made with
reference to the within allegation, but I
am unable to find. any open distribution
OF campaign documents of any kind. II
may have been done surreptitiously, but,
u SO. to small extent only. A man out
Side the gates a few days ago was seen
distributing handbills to the men as they
went out containing a call to "republ!-
can rally" 1t is generally understood
by the employees that such practice as is
referred to is prohibited, but further Or
ders have been issued notifying them that

men led by six lengths. which they grad
ually increased to ten, and then to twelve
lengths The crews seemed to be fairly
well matched, but the Indiana's men were
handicapped with a very inferior boat.
which buried itself at every stroke. OFF
Stapieton the Raleighs crew led by fifteen
lengths, but an energetic squirt on the part
OF the Indiana's men reduced the lead to
twelve lengths, Which was held until the
line was crossed. AS the two crews passed
between the lines of anchored warships the
crews mounted the rigging and cheered
Justify, while the siren of the Raleigh split
the atmosphere with piercing shrieks
Judging from the enthusiasm, the victory
OF the Raleigh crew was a popular one.

NEW YORK GOLD DEMOCRATS.
The State Convention to Be Held MT
BROOKLYN.

BROOKLYN.
NEW YORK. September 24.-The pre-
liminaries of the convention of the state
branch of the national democratic party
were completed today and the gathering
will be held in the Brooklyn Academy of
Music tonight at s O'Clock. The conven-
tion is peculiar in a certain sense, be-
cause it is merely postponed one. 1t has
adopted platform and, therefore, has
not that important work on it's hands 1t
may. however, in spite of this fact, find
itself confronted by resolutions particu-
larly if any friend of John Boyd Thacher
attempts to secure an Endorsement of his
candidacy. 1t may also be expected that
in case this is done there will be a lively
arraisnment of Thacher and Hill. This
may occur in any case. as there is quite
feeling prevalent that something should be
said about the mixed up condition of affairs
IL New York democratic politics.
The work of the convention tonight will
be the filling up of the party's electoral
ticket and the selection of candidates for
governor. lieutenant governor and judge of
the court of appeals. For the latter place
there is no particular struggle. the leaders
having decided to vote for the Endorsement
of the regular republican nominee, Judge
Irving Fann of Syracuse.
Several names are being talked of for the
nomination for governor, but there seems
TO be some trouble in securing a candidate.
The friends of Thatcher are still making a
vigorous hunt for his Endorsement, but the
Albany delegation say that under no cir
cumstances will it accept his name. and
the Fact that he has declared his intention
of voting for Bryan and Sewall will also be
a stumbling block
-, Ex-Governor Flower and Judge George B.
Bradley have been mentioned but both
have declined. John j. Lindson of King
Ston. who state senator and later a
statutory revision commissioner under Gov
ernor Hill. Is mentioned this morning.

row escapes and received injuries more or
less serious. The flames broke out in the
east wing of the Building, which is a SUBJ
stantial three-story structure of stone and
brick, and from the nature of the origin

most helpless companions to get out of the
building. Capt. Glasscock and Lieut.. Good
ran from room to room at the peril of their
lives getting out the students who had not
been awakened by the bugle call.
Cadet Captain Rolla Mcintyre was taken
out by Lieut.: Good. who was compelled to
u mp with him from a third-story window.
Seth the older officers escaped without IN
jury.
When the boys sleeping In the second and
third stories of the building realized tina
the structure was on fire. all escape by
way OF the stairs was cut off, and they
were compelled to jump from the windows.
There was no hesitation On the part of the
older boys, who were almost compelled TO
force their younger comrades to make the
leap. Twenty-one were injured, but no one
fatally.
The building was soon burned to the
ground and all its contents destroyed.
Nothing was caved by the faculty or stu
der is. who were compelled to take shelter
