The delegation of Portsmouth gentle
men which left this city Wednesday
night for Washington. arrived in the
City of Magnificent Distances" about
10 o'clock Thursday morning, the
steamer having been delayed consider
ably on account of the large amount Of
ice in the Potomac river.
The rarty was composed of Mayor
Baird. City Councilman Luther G. Brin-
son. President John ]. King, Robert e.
Glover and l.. p. Slater and City Clerk
t. Thompson, Jr., G. c. Williams, prcsi-
dent OF the Central Labor Union of

ID. j. Reardon, Thomas Nolan, A. E.
Shultz and Calder II. Herbert. the lat
ter six representing the workingmen
and the former six the business inter-
ests of this city and section. 1t was
strong delegation in the interest of
our people to secure, If possible, laws
favorable to the eight hour system
overtime money, public building and
the securing of battleship for this
navy yard.
Senator Thomas S. Martin met the
delegation. which had been augmented
by the addition of Congressman Wise
and eX-Congressman Libbey at Hotel
Johnson, where 1t was introduced to
Mr.. Morrison, supreme secretary of the
American Federation of Labor. who
The delegation under the guidance of
Senator Martin, proceeded to the Capi-
tol. TO the marble room of the Senate.
where 1t met Senator Daniel, who took
an active interest in the several mat
ters which had brought it to Washing
ton.
Here our Portsmouth men, through
Senator Martins kindness, were intro
duced to and given an opportunity Ia
lay their different interests before
Senators Hanna, of Ohio; Turley. of
tennessee; Gear. of Iowa; Perkins. of
california; Wellington, of Maryland:
Alien, OF Nebraska, and Caffrey, of

The committee put forth their great
est efforts Thursday in advocating the

they were told by Senator Turley. who
mas charge of the bill, that Senator
Aiilson. chairman of the Appropriation
committee, had promised TO give way
10 the measure and allow it to be taken
from the calendar. If he could be as
sured that no debate would follow.
The bill will be reported Monday and
Senator Caffrey will present n minor
lily report, detrimental to the bill.
which, according to the promise given
our delegation. will be ready also
Monday.
All of the Senators seen. in coniunc-
ton with those mentioned, say that if
the Dill is fortunate enough to reach
vote without debate it will undoubt-
eddy pass.
our committees put in all day yes
terday advocating the other measures.
and enough was gathered from con-
VerSations and interviews with tho
powers that be in Washington that if
Il battleship is ordered to be built at
this yard more work will have to be
done to secure 1t than has been done
heretofore. That agitation in that
direction. coupled with energetic ef-
forts and our best influences. should not

DEVILS AUCTION

Among plays which are quoted by the
authorities as being longest-lived in the
favor of the theatre-going public are Mrs.
Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin" Gilbert &
Sullivan's "Pinafore' and "Humpty-
Dumpty." 1t remains, however, for Chas
H. Yale's Forever Devils Auction" to
take the foremost place as to phenome-
nal run or favor. This ever blooming
show-piece starts in this season on its
seventeenth year before the public; while
the other attractions named have become
less and less attractive, the Devils Auc-
ton has BY careful management and the
ability Of those in control to inject new
matter yearly into its composition, and by
keeping it well and literally supplied as
10 new costumes and scenic effects. the
paying public have come 10 look upon it's
yearly appearance as a matter of necessi-
", approaching the fact that its man
agement look upon its title in a mercan-
tile sense-to this point that its announce
ment means that a staple article has ar
riVed-that while its "outside wrauper'
or title may be old and familiar. its inside
filling is the best, new, attractive and
timely, and the public, having perfect
faith from past experience in the afore-
said article, buty it again; or. in other
words. pack the house-hence its phenom-
email record Of seventeen years Of unbroken
success.
