MANY MINISTERIAL
CONFERENCES HELD

PARIS. Sept. 4.-Owing to the resig-
nation of NJ. Cavaignac of the Ministry
of War President Faure returned to
Paris this morning and conferred with
NJ. del Casse, Minister for Foreign AT
fairs; NJ. Bourgeois, Minister OF PUB
lie Education, and General Zurlinden.
The Cabinet Will meet tomorrow ex-
pressly to deal with a request from
Nine. Dreyfus for revision of the pro-
ceedings of the court-martial that con-
demned her husband.
AS the Cabinet is now practically
unanimously in favor of revision
partly because the Ministers are aware
that there is no other method of salts
fving public feeling-the outcome of the
meeting is almost a foregone conclu-
sion.
1t is not thought that NJ. Cavaignac's
retirement will involve the resignation
of other Ministers. The fact that Cen
eral Zurlinden had been in conference
with M. Faure is taken to mean that he
will succeed M. Cavaignac at the War
Office
The Ministerial conferences, which
have been continued throughout the
day. have had to do with the details
of revision. There is no foundation for
the report that the Chambers Will be
Immediately convoked.
According to LIE Soir M. Faure, who
received M. Cavaignac to-day, strongly
urged him to withdraw his resignation.
The paper also asserts that at the
council tomorrow the President Will
endeavor to prevent decision In favor
of revision. On the same authority 1t
is announced that General Roger, chief
of M. Cavaignacs military stair, Will
retire at his own request.

merly Military Governor of Paris, is

EXCUR SIONS.


The Fridays from now until the end Of the
season have been added to the days on
which the trips to River View on the
steamer Pentz under the personal Oh
rection of Capt. E. S. Randall. These Fri
day trips last season were very popular,
and the View management will make every
effort to make them popular again this
year. There will be plenty of music and
dancing tomorrow, all day and until the
last trip leaves at night The chute, the
great fun producer, will be ready to AFFORD
amusement, and the dozens of other attrac-
lions scattered about the grounds Will give
pleasure. The broad grounds, covered with
shade trees from end to end, and 1anned
by the breeze from over the river, make
River View u most delightful place to
spend these hot days.
Tomorrow the PentZ will leave her wharf
at 10 am, 2:15 ana 6:45 pm, and the re-
turn trips will be made at 12:1o, o, . and
1880 pm.
The complimentary excursion rendered
by New Jerusalem Lodge, No. ., f, A "A.
M, to the ladies who assisted at the recent
Masonic fair in making New Jerusalems
booth the banner booth of the occasion,
took place last evening, when despite the
rain storm then prevailing, about ZoO Ia
dies and gentlemen enjoyed the hospitality
provided on the steamer Estelle Randall.
Music by the Mount Pleasant Band and
fine mandolin quartet, together with I'M
stinted refreshments in the form of ice
cream, cakes sandwiches and lemonade,
made the party forget the absence of the
expected moonlight, and happiness reigned
supreme. On the return from an extended
trip down the river a stop of an hour or
so was made at River View, where dancing
was participated in, after which, the storm
having ceased, delightfully."- cool run was
made for home. Great credit is due to
the w. NJ, Mr.. Benz Parkhurst, and the
very efficient amusement committee of the
lodge for the arrangement whereby
stormy evening was made the occasion of
a most delightful trip.

The Soldiers Orphans Home.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In the many changes of successive ad-
pinistrations since the civil war, probably
rot many in Washington today remember
the successful fair held at the junction of
It'll street and Pennsylvania avenue for the
benefit of the orphans of soldiers and sail
ors. The sum netted from the fair was
large enough to buy the building needed,
and the Columbia Athletic Club occupies
the site of the home
The present crisis raises the pertine1e
question of a new home for orphans of SOL
diers and sailors, and the query confronts
us in a. way that will not down.
Should these lines be read by one COM
petent tn answer, may We not be informed
the status of the home" and what be-
came OF the money received for the build
ing sold to Columbia Athletic Club?
We are, moreover, impressed with the
timeliness of the suggestion that the en-
tire country might well be interested in
this patriotic charity. Let us erect a ma
tional home, where we may minister to
the comfort and happiness of the children
of men who have heroically sacrificed their
life upon the altar of freedom in behalf of
humanity. F. L. S.

GIVEN 4 HEARING.
Labor Delegates Discuss the Dismiss
sal of q Bricklayer.


The controversy with George w.
Elliott, bricklayer. who was recently re-
moved from working on District buildings
because of alleged improper conduct, was
made the subject yesterday of hearing
given by. the District Commissioners.
Inspector Gormley, it will be recalled, d.
rected the discharge of Mr.. Elliott from
work the school building at oath and
F streets, because, as Mr.. Gormley alleged,
he had replied in an insulting manner to
him and had also subsequently assaulted
him. He was discharged by the contract
ors, MeSsrs. Baldwin and Peake, but was
sent to work on the Peabody school build
ing, which work was also being done by
the same firm Mr.. Brady, the inspector of
buildings, then notified them that they
must also take him off that work, where
upon complaint was made to the District
Commissioners by the Central Labor Union
that Mr.. Elliott had been very unjustly
treated and the union requested a hearing
in the matter.
Mr.. Milford Spohn represented that body
at the hearing today, and he and the par
ties in interest related the circums tances
Mr.. Spohn explained that Eliotts discharge
streets was not objected to, but the or
ganization thought that he should have
been allowed to work on the second build
ing Commissioner Beach, however, ex-
planned that where a man is discharged
from work on a building because of i'm
proper conduct, or because of failure to re-
spect or obey the directions of the inspector,
it has been a rule of the engineer depart
ment of the District to prohibit him from
working for the same employer at any
other building then being erected for the
District The man could however, work
for any other party on other buildings, or
could work tor the same party on District
buildings after the completion of the work
from which he had been discharged. This
is done, Capt. Beach further explained, to
enforce obedience to the orders of the in
spectors, who are charged by the District
with the proper conduct of the work.
Mr.. Spohn replied that it is a rule to
which they would have to object, and the
Commissioners took the matter under ad-
visement. Later in the day they decided
not to interfere in the matter

CORONER WILL HOLD INQUEST.
Death of William Keys Subject OF
Investigation.

Coroner Carr will begin an inquest at 4
o'clock this afternoon in the case of Will
liam Keys the colored man who died sud-
denly at the home of his brother on Pierce
street Tuesday night, as published in yes
terday's Star. One witness will be exam
ined, and the hearing will then be con-
tinued until tomorrow.
Coroner Carr had intended holding the
inquest tomorrow, and the change in the
program was made because of a conference
between the police and the district attor-
ney's office. While there is a suspicion
that the dead man was poisoned, there is
nothing definite yet determined about the
cause of death. Chemist Hird had not yet
concluded his examination of the con-
tents of the mans stomach, and until this
is done the inquest cannot be completed.
The detectives continued their investi-
CATION of the case last night and today,
but failed to find anything tending to show
that Keys wife was even in a position to
have administered poison. 1t is the belief
of the police that the death resulted from
something other than poison.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l see it stated in your invaluable pa
per that the inhabitants of Santiago, trad
ers and shopkeepers as we'll as commercial
men generally, are disposed to discount
our American silver coin at an enormous
rate. A similar cut was made in Vera
Cruz, Mexico, after the capitulation of
that city in April, 1S47, but only 25 per
cent was demanded. The remedy as ap-
piled by General Scott to this traitorous
scheme had the desired effect and Ameri-
can coin circulated at its face value ever
afterward. A general order from head

silver ceased The moral to this incident
