the District of Columbia.
The Mckinley and Hobart Interstate
Campaign Club, at its last meeting, passed
the following resolutions unanimously:
Whereas, The republican party, assem-
bled in convention at ST. Louis, Mo-, June
Is, 1896. having adopted the following as a
part of its platform, ie.: From the hour
of achieving their own independence the
people of the United States have regarded
with sympthy the struggles of other
American peoples to free themselves from
European domination, we watch with
deep and abiding interest the heroic battle
of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and
oppression. and our best hopes go out for
the full success of their contest for liberty.
The government Of Spain having lost con-
troll of Cuba, and being unable to protect
the property or lives of resident American
citizens, or to comply with it's treaty obli-
cations we believe that the government of
the United States should actively use it's
influence and good offices to restore peace
and give independence to the island
Therefore, be 1t resolved by the McKin-
ley and Hobart Interstate Campaign Club,
that We heartily indorse the above declara-
tion. and trust that the incoming admins
tration will see to 1t that American citizens
resident in Cuba shall be protected in
rights and property, and that our war
ships shall be ordered to Cuba for this
purpose.
THE republican party having also de-
clared for home rule and a conscientious
civil service,
Therefore, be 1t further resolved, that
We favor Col. Myron NJ. Parker of Wash
ington, D. c., member of the national re-
publican committee, lifelong republican,
a man of integrity and ability, for marshal
of the District of Columbia.
He has done as much for republicanism
in the District of Columbia as any other
resident of the District, and was particu-
larry active in the recent campaign in the
raising of money to meet the legitima te
expenses of the great struggle for sound
money and the supremacy Of the laws. He
is entitled by education, experience busi-
ness ability. party standing and party work
to this favor.
The Mckinley and Hobart Interstate
Campaign Club heartily commend him to
the favor of President Mckinley"

How the Cars Will he Moved During
the Parade.
President Harries of the Metropolitan
Street Railroad Company has perfected the
arrangements to control the cars on his
line during the inaugural parade tomorrow
The entire line will be divided up into sec
uons, and this will greatly facilitate the
handling of the crowds The lines on F
street and 9th street will run clear until IL
O'Clock. The last car going east and west
will reach the Baltimore and Ohio depot
about IL o'clock. The F street line will be
divided into sections. as follows, and cars
will be run on these sections during the pa
rsde: Baltimore and Ohio depot to the city
hall. the city hall to 9th and F, 9th and F
to 14th and New York avenue, 14th and

Gle to Connecticut avenue and Dupont Cir
Gle 10 Georgetown-carS on these sections

tack, and especial precautions will be
taken to avoid any accident. The Metro

the crowds that may be along the line
The 9th street line will also be divided into
sections, follows: North of Pennsylya mia

ly around the loop, and no trains will be
run south of l. street. The loop trains will
care for the river steamer business.
President HarrieS says that transfers will
be issued from one section to the other GO
ing in the same direction, and this is the
best arrangement that can be made under
the circumstances and 1t will greatly facili-
tate the handling of the crowds. The regu-
lar schedule will be resumed as soon as the
procession has dsbanded. Trains will be
run all night until 3 a. m. during the balance
of the week.
President Dunlop of the Capital Traction
Company was in anything but an enviable
fl anne of mind when discussing the street
car service over his line for Inauguration
day with Star reporter this morning. and
the only fact that could be gotten out Of
him for publication in connection with the
matter was that his company would obey
the orders of tie inaugural committee as
TO the hours of stopping their trains before
the parade and starting them again after
the parade disbands. President Dunlop did
say that he had submitted a proposition to
the inaugural committee in regard to run
ming trains on the avenue and 14th street
lines tomorrow that would have suited the
in vogue would greatly inconvenience those
who were down town and wanted to return
to their homes In the north and west Sec
tions of the city covered by his lines.
Trains will be run by the Capital Trac-
ton Company as late at night as necessary
to accommodate the crowds.
Yesterday the road hauled thirty thou
sand passengers more than on any third
day before an Inauguration in its history.

SUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
John Carroll. an ErrfnE Young Man,
Gashes His Throat.

Gashes His Throat.
John Carroll, a young man who was
arrafsned in Judge Miler's court today
by Detective Weldon, charged with
the larceny of an overcoat from Robt
F. Ousley, was found this morning by
Bailiff Darr of the United States court
with an ugly cash in the left side of his
throat. The wound extended for about an
inch. and was evidently the work of some
dull instrument piled with suicidal attempt
Exactly when the attempt was made could
not be learned, but cne of the prisoners
in the cell occupied by the young man at
the Police Court found upon the floor a
small one-blade pocket knife covered with
blood, and the suppostion is.that the knife
was concealed somewhere about the man
and escaped the vigilance of the policeman
who searched Carroll. The blade was hard
ly more than a half inch long, and extreme
ly duh, so that the sasn on the mans
throat must have required a powerful blow.
1t failed. however, in its purpose, and
giving up the task Carroll threw the knife
away. When brought from the cell this
morning to the court room dock, Carroll
affected great agony and remained with his
head buried in his arms the railing of
his temporary prison. Bailiff Darr, how
ever, noticed the blood on his neck, and
questioned the man, who appeared to be
daZed and could give no intelligent an
swers. AS the wound was not serious, the
case continued, and nothing was known In
the court room of the cash in CarrolIs
neck, or of his attempt to end unhappy
life of crime Judge Miller heard the evil
dence against the young man, and he was
sentenced to sixty days in Jail. Carroll
left the court room with bowed head and
took his seat again In the cell until re-
moved to the jail
When asked by Star reporter whether
or not he had attempted suicide, Carroll
stared vacantly into space and responded:
IF did, l don't remember anything about
it."
Carroll is about twenty-five years old, and
known to the police for previous crooked
ness. He is well connected in the city, but
has been denied the privileges of his home
on account of his general rascality.
He was arrested yesterday by Detective
Weldon on suspicion of having stolen an
overcoat from Mr.. Ousley from one of the
rooms In Masonic Hall, and was afterward
identified. He pleaded guilty to the charge
this morning. and offered no statement in
his own behalf. The wound in the neck
will be dressed by the jail physician, and
the young man will be watched closely.
