WASHINGTON, D. c.. April i2-The
hrst meeting OF the new executive COM
mltteO OF the National Association OF
Democratic clubs. took place here to"
day at the Ebbltl house. There was a
very full attendance OF members Of the
committee and in addition some OF the
officers who are ex-ofIlcIo members OF
the committee.
The members Of the committee say
The meeting was more fully attended
and the Interest displayed was greater
than at any previous gathering OF a
committee after defeat In a previous
campaign. The reports Of the officers
showed a very satisfactory condition OF
the AFFAIRS OF the association.
A committee consisting OF MesSFs.
Black, McMIllin and Mcclure was Ap-
pointed to prepare an address TO the
Democratic voters OF the country, which
the committee unanimously adopted.
The address after reciting the objects
OF the association as set forth In Its
constitution. and declaring that they
are the principles OF Jefferson and OF
the Democratic party, never surrender
ed or abandoned, and essential to the
preservation of the republic, proceeds
as follows:
When an apparent majority OF the
votes OF the people was counted out OF
the ballot boxes last year in favor OF the
Republican candidates for President
and vice president. while we depiored
the result and were convinced that no
possible relief could be afforded It's
agents every opportunity to demon-
strate whether or not their policies were
adequate.
Although the paramount question
before the people was and II that or the
single gold standard as against the Tree
and unlimited coinage Of sold and sill
yer, and = mighty majority OF the whole
people declared uneQuIVocally for OIL
metalIlsm, either independently or by
international agreement, as promised
by the Republican party, we see not
the slightest indication OF any dlsposi-
ton to move in that direction.
Our cause Is far stronger to-day
than ever before. We have only 10 or
gnnize, TO bring right thinking ana
right feeling people together In Demo-
cratic SocIeties-where the designs OF
the nonopolIst party In power may De
discussed and exposed and where each
good cltisen encouraged by his neigh
Dor. Will resist the seductioas ana re-
slgt the threats Of the common enemy
TO sweep up = good majority Tor the
representatives Of the masses In the
next house, and 20 carry the elections
OF 1900 as triumphantly as our Demo
cratic Horetathers carried those OF lsVJ.

A WISE JUDGMENT.

form SehOoI-"Cap" Not Yet Sentenced.
Special Dispatch to tho Intelligencer.
WILLIAMSON, W. Va, April 12.--In
the circuit cour; to-day the two other 4n-
dlctmcnts were taken up against "cap''
Hatfield, and hts step-son, Joe. Glen.
Both were brought into court and the
boy confessed 10 the murder of EllIott
Rutherford and Henderson Chambers.
1t was Il very difficult matter for the
court and prosecution to determine what
should be done with the youth in consid-
Grafton Of his age. previous environment
and training. and unfortunate aSsocia-
tons. Judge Doolittle. upon the recom-
mendation OF all the attorneys taking an
active part In the case, sentenced Glen to
be taken to the reform school at Prunty
town. and that one half of hts time be de-
voted 10 manual labor. and the balance 60
study, and improvement of hts mental
faculties.
This action is approved by al! :he pub
lie and Is thought TO be the best way out
OF a bad case. The boy is to remain at
the reform school until he reaches the
age OF twenty-One, when It Is to be hoped
he will have developed into good ctti-
zen and have more regard for human
life.
The other two indictments against
Cap have in effect been nollted. The
judge has not yet passed his sentence

PRESIDENT RETURNS


Amer His Five Days UeSt--ffO aud MrS'
Mckinley Mach BsnsGlltUd-llOW They
Enjoyed ThemSCiTES.
WASHINGTON. d. C., April 12,-The
President, Mrs. Mckinley and their
party returned to the white house to-
day at 1895 o'clock after five days
trip on the Potomac and Chesapeake
bay. That great benefit had been de-
rived by the whole party was lmmedi-
ntely apparent as the carriages dIS-
charged their loads at the white house
door. The President stepped out first
very nImbly. and with the assistance
Of the maid, Mrs. Mckinley was help
ed out. She had happy smile for the
persons who stood by to greet her ana
appeared to be much stronger than
when she left the white house few
days ago. Her walk was more conf
dent and her general health showed
signs Of improvement. The movements
Of the Dolphin since the vessel sailed
away from Annapolis Saturday noon
were controlled by the wish on the part
OF the President to avoid huSte and pro-
long the trip until to-day. So Saturday
night she came to anchor OH BlRehIst0n
island. about ten miles inside the
Potomac and the party slept In quiet
water well into Sunday morning. Then
at breakfast 1t was decided that the
party should 20 to church II church
could be reached. Tie maps were over
hauled to find the largest nearby town.
This happened TO be the interesting
and historical Leonnrdtown, ut the
head OF Breton bay in Marylan'' The
Dolphin drew too much water to get up
to the head Of the bay, so the party
tn ~ utanrN launch md towing
the dlnEey behind, ran TO the old town
and landed.
1t was too late. however, to hear SER
vices in the only one Of the churches
TINT had been opened that morning. so
the President stTolled over the town for
an hour.
Returning to the vessel, the Dolphin
cruised along up the river slowly and
came to anchor by evening In the
nCIghborhood Of Maryland Point.
An early start was made up the river
this morning and the Dolphin reached
the navy yard without incident.
The President enjoyed his vacation
greatly. II was the first ne had had for
several years and actually the first or
the kind he had ever had. He was in
teregted in everything he saw. He
wore a naval cap, looking like yachts
man, spent hours in inspecting every
corner OF the boat, and questioned the
officers and sailors about everything he
saw. Work was not permitted. and the
only suggestion Of official life was the
daily weather report which was well
coined and u telegram received at An
nnpolis from Secretary AlEer telling
briefly what had been done for the re-
lief OF the Hood sufferers.
When he returned to the white house
this afternoon the President ANNOUNCE
ed that he would gee no callers In con
nection with private affairs during the
remainder OF the day. That was the
first application OF new rule which
the President decided upon while on
his trip.
Hereafter he will not receive, personal
calls after ] o'clock but will devote his
time after that hour each Office day to
tte consideration Of matters OF public
interest solely.

nlno, who was minister Of finance in
the CrIspl cabinet, commended the
action Of the powers, the unity and i'm
portance OF which, he claimed, was
fully recognized. At the same time the
speaker thought Italy should take the
initiative in permitting Greece to es-
cape from tho Impasse in which she
found herself,
The Marquis Di Rudlni. the premier
and minister OF the Interior, during the
course OF u long speech, pointed out
that a vote approving OF the policy Of
the government would not signify OPP
position to Greece, but would be In IA
vor OF liberty, justice and the balance

tending to preserve the peace Of the
world. The government he continued,
Is sOlicltous OF the true interest OF the
country. but Is often forced to assume
unRrateful responsibilities.
Replying TO the instructions sent to
Admiral Canero, the premier said they
might be summed up in words
Italy canot undertake police duty
for anybody. but the interests Of Italy
In the Mediterranean required her to
remain faithful to the concert OF the
powers"
In conclusion the Marquis dl RudinE
said:
