COL. CARSON INDIGNANT.
Visits the District Building Wit
Blood In His Eye.

Visits the District Building With
Blood In His Eye.
Col. Perry Carson was at the District
building this morning with blood in his
eye. Some Of his political enemies had
called upon the Commissioners and made
sensational charges against him. They
had stated that the big republican leader
Of the District had control Of the appoint
ments Of the street sweeping force. and
had compelled the laborers, as condition
precedent to their appointment, to enroll
themselves as members Of the Blaine In
vincible Club, pay an initiation fee of 80
cents and subscribe 10 cents per week for
the expenses Of the association.
The colonel answered the charges to q
reporter of The Star before he saw the
Commissioners He said:
Under most circumstances / would treat
this foolish charge as l have every other
in the past-with silence. But in this case
want the Commissioners and the public
generally to understand the facts. The
Blaine Invincible Club was founded by me
twenty-five years ago. Its object, while
for the furtherance Of republican princi-
pies. vas mainly to obtain work for the
unemployed colored men Of Washington
And we have succeeded right along Dur
ing Harrison's administration we obtained
no less than eighty-one appointments for
our members.
when the laborers won their fight
against machine sweeping, through the
matchless championship Of The Star, we
appointed a committee to wait upon Con-
tractor Daggett and get him to appoint
forty-ffve CT our members to laborers' posi-
TONS We had been as a club most active
in the fight against pickup machines
which would have done away with the
work of large number of laborers. and
We felt 1t incumbent upon the contractor
Who had profited by our work to employ
as many members Of the club as possible.
Out of the forty-five names We sent in as
entitled to employment he engaged twenty
two. Immediately there arose from these
half-rate politicians the cry of boss They
said had controlled the whole business.
We'll, I'm black and have no education.
but give me credit for having common
sense. Does any one with half a brain
think I would tell my people that / con-
troiled the contractor? The trouble is with
these poor, miserable gutter politicians
who spend their time criticising other folks
who are trying to help the laborers, If
they would only put their shoulders to the
wheel and work, instead Of talk. there
Nould be no need to find fault. But I sun
pose. like rats. they are a necessity to
destroy the refuse. They are always rat
and while oftentimes they gnaw a hole and
al noy people, they must content them
selves with the crumbs the honest peonie
drop from their table,

FITTING OUT THE BENNINGTON.
VIII Take the Place of the Marion n
HOnOlulu.

VIII Take the Place of the Marion at
Honolulu.
The gunboat Bennington, now on the
California coast. is being fitted out to take
the place of the old cruiser Marion at Ho-
nelulu. The Marion was ordered home
some time ago. but an accident to her ma
chinery delayed her for several months,
and the order has now been repeated.
Though there Is talk of sending the battle
ship Oregon to Honolulu to reinforce the
Philadelphia. It Is said at the Navy De-
partment that no such orders have issued,
and 1T Is more probable that she will be
kept in the neighborhood Of San Francisco
in perfect condition and ready for sea or
ders at short notice. Admiral Beardslee
will soon be relieved at Honolulu by Adj
miral Miller, now on his way home from
England on the Brooklyn. Like his prede-
cessor, he will be charged to maintain the
status quo there pending the settlement Of
the question Of annexation.

Daniea Williams. or Dan" Williams, as

turned against him several days ago, in
which he is charged with having embez-

Police Court during May. June. July and
August. 1896. which fines 1t was his duty
to collect and turn over to the District

Williams counsel, Mr. Tracy L. Jeffords,
upon the conclusion of the reading of the
rather voluminous indictment, stated to
Judge Cole that his client stood mute.
whereupon the court directed the clerk 10

reason to believe from the order in council
tnat the British government had given its

This tardy action of the British govern

OF 1894 led to much trouble and incon-

grievous complaint against the severe
