Speaking the Ships.

Untraveled dweller by the haven-sde,
| saw the great ships come, sojourn day,
Then set their eager sails, their anchor
weigh,
And give themselves to rocking wind and
tide.
L spake them not, nor they to me replied,
OF where their void and lonely Journey
lay;
Now, since my lips have tas ted mid-sea
spray,
In common speech l hail those wanderers
wide.
To this: Proud Scotia gave thy ribs to
thee!"
To this; "Thy masts have known the APP

Or, "Tagus empties where thy frame was
planned"
Or, Say. thou gallant one, if true it be,
Thou hither cam'st with hoard of Levant
wines
And dulcet fruits from many sun-loved

President Samuel Gompers and Secre-
tary Morrison, of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. had a conference of more
than an hour with the President yester-
day in the interest of labor legislation.
They asked particularly for his aid in
behalf of the eight-hour bill, which pro-
vides that the eight-hour law of the
United States shall apply also to the en-
ployes of contractors and subcontractors
for Government work: the seamen's bill.
designed among other things to improve
the fare aboard ship, giving the right to
sever their connection with the vessels
while in safe harbor, and the abolishment
of corporal punishment; the immigration
bill, designed to apply an educational test
to immigrants, and the convict contract
labor bill, which prohibits the shipment
from State to State of the products of
convict labor.
President Mckinley said to his visitors
that it is the dutysof every man In public
station or private life to be helpful in
every way in his power for the bridging
of the chasm between the laborers and
their employers.
Among friends of labor here hope is en-
tertained that the President will make
some recommendations concerning labor
legislation in his message TO Congress.

COL. sTAPLEs's LEASE.
Three Years Mere to Run on the
willard Hotel.

Col o. C. Staples. proprietor of Viii
lard's Hotel and the lessee Of the prop
erty from the owner, Joseph Willard, is
OF the opinion that Mr.. Willard will not
build new hotel structure on the site
of the old building.
Mr.. Staples said yesterday in reference
TO the interview with Mr.. Willard printed
in The Times that his lease OF the prop
erty is for three years. and that he has
spent several thousand dollars this year
in making improvements in the building
and in refurnishing 1t. He also stated
that he has no intention of giving up the
house while his lease lasts.
The statement of Mr.. Willard to a
Times reporter that he has been consid-
ering the question of the new willards
was of course made with the knowledge
that Mr.. Staples has lease of the pres
ent building Mr.. Willard did not so state
to The Times reporter, but the assump-
ton drawn by the reporter was that he
had intended in the event of erecting the
new building to purchase if possible the
lease of Col. Staples.

J. c. Loper. Alias MaEec. Captured

Inspector Mattingly has received word
from Baltimore of the arrest there on
Monday of J. Clifford Loper, alias Frank

passing forged checks. His victims were
Rich & Co. shoe dealers, at 1902 f Street,
who cashed check for S35 drawn on the
Reading Trust Company. of Reading, Pa,
and A. Minister, who gave up SIS in return
for a check for 49, drawn on the Chester
National Bank. of Chester. Pa. Both
checks purported to be certified by the
cashiers of the respective banks.
The scheme employed by Loper was an
old one, and worked so smoothly that sus-
picion was not drawn toward him. He
had suave, easy manner, and In each
instance of the swindle made small
purchase, offering the checks in payment
and giving a plausible story, which, to-
gether with the fact that the checks ap-
peared to be properly certified, caused no
hesitancy on the part OF the merchants in
cashing the paper
Loper operated here on October %
and 26, and, it is said, included several
other prominent merchants as victims.

THE cHIMNEY-swEEP LAW.
Commissioners Say They Have No
Right to. Change II.

Mrs. W. F. Burch. of No. 1903 Thirty
first Street northwest. recently wrote to
the Commissioners complaining that a
stranger, who had represented himself as
being an official chimney sweep. called
at her home and claimed the right to en-
anime the chimneys of the house
She desired to know whether she ,uld
be obliged TO comply with the demands
of the sweep and asked to have an ex-
ception made in iier instance. ..a. r-4fsl4a
In her letter to the Commissioners Mrs.
Birch gives the following objections To
the chimney sweeping process:
My house is not connected with any
other-stands by itseif-and Is compare
lively a new house. The only fuel used
this party would develop an alarming
condition. owing to the self-interest an
volred, notwithstanding tha, the fines
are in excellent condition. by reason Of
the character OF the fuel used.
Now should he insist on sweeping tie
chimney at this time with Its necessary
dirt. which in all probability would come
from scraping my chimney, my carpets,
furniture. rugs and hansings would be
greatly damaged. as I have open fire
places in every room for ventilation.
Furthermore, should the sweep decide
that it is necessary TO do the work it
would necessitate the drawing of the fires
in the range and steam-heating plant.
which is our of the question owing TO
sickness"
In reply to the protest the Commits
sioners have written that the law requir-
ing the sweeping of chimneys is very ex-
picit. and that they have no authority
to change II or TO give the superintendent
of sweeps instructions as to what he
shall or what he shall not do. The Com
missioners maintain that if the party
that visited the house was duly au-
thorized superintendent he certainly had
the right to clean the chimneys
