THE DETAILS.
Committees Getting Ready for Recep-
ton Of Alliance Delegates.

ton OF Alliance DeieHaIeh..
About 300 delegates to the Pan-Presbyte
rian Alliance. which will convene in the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church the
9th instant, have registered, and to this
extent have signifed their intention of be-
ing present It is supposed a small per-
ccntage will be unable to attend. for one
reason and another but after making a
| reasonable allowance for what may be
called a natural shrinkage. it is estimated
there will be at least go delegates in at
tendance These figures have special in
terest not only to the members of the COM
mittee On hospitality, of which Rev. DR..
Wallace Radcliffe is chairman, but to all
the members of the other committees, com
posed of the representatives of the
churches of the Presbyterian denomination
in this District, having in Charge the local
arrangements for this great gathering.
This arises in part from the fact that pro-
vision is to be made for the entertainment
Of the delegates. During their stay in this
city they are to be the guests of the Pres
byterians, and the best efforts of the local
committee being put forth to provide
places for them.
The committee Is of course, somewhat
hampered by the fact that large number
of houses where the visitors would be re-
ceiVed closed. their occupants have
not returned from the summer outing, and
in many cases they will not return to the
city until after the'sesslons Of the alliance
are over. However many OF the people
who will be out of the city at that time
have come to the relief of the committee.
and have offered to entertain two or more
of the delegates at some hotel or boarding
house. In view of offers of this kind. the
managers are preparing a list Of places
where accommodations can be had, SO that
the delegates can be assigned rapidly
possible
A portion of the money which is being
raised to defray the expenses of the gath
ering will be used to provide lodging places
for the visitors. In addition a number of
homes have been thrown open to the dele
gates and the committee expects that others
will be offered and that those who can
accommodate, one or more persons will
notify it to that effect. In lieu of this a
money contribution would be effective.
The program has not yet been completed
as the committee in New York and Phiia-
delphia can arrange the perpleXing details.
The sessions will consume ten days. and at
each there Will be two or three papers read,
followed by discussions, so that it can read
lily be appreciated that it is easy task
to determine the exact details covering
such a long period of time and depending
upon the consent of so many indiS iduatS.
1t is believed this work will be accomplish
ed in due time however and 1t is hoped
the general results will be satisfactory.
The general secretary of the alliance
Rev. G. D. Mathews DID, of London, Eng
land, is expected to arrive in the city Sat
urday evening. He will be located at the
Ebbitt House

mend e. Maurice Smith.

l. Jones. prominent Colored members of the
District bar, called on President Mckinley
this morning to unite with the white mem
bers of the bar in recommending c. Mau-
rice Smith for district attorney in the event
of d vacancy. The delegation stated that
the bar is unanimous in it's desire to see
Mr.. Smith elevated to this position The
President listened attentively, but gave no
idea of what his intentions are as to the
judSeship and district attorneyship.
The delegation congratulated the Prcsi-
dent on his order organizing two colored
regiments for service IN the volunteer army
and to be otticered by men of the same
color. The President. in response, said that
he wanted to give colored men the nDpartu-
nifty to make regulations, and knew they
would do so. He had no doubts, he said, as
to their fighting abilities.

SILENCED THE INSURGENTS
Admiral Watson Reports Sharp Engage
ment.
The Position of the Grounded Cable
Ship Hooker Changed for the
Better-SIaniia Notes.

Acting Secretary Allen of the Navy De
partment received a cable message this
morning from Rear Admiral Watson. com
manding the Asatic fleet, in regard to a
recent engagement with the insurgents at
Baleno, in the province of Masbate. an
island south of Luzon and north of Visayas
The message is as follows:
MANILA, September IA, 1890
Secretary OF the Navy, Washington. D. c..
Davidson. commanding Paragua, re-
ports a sharp engagement at Baleno Ihe
vesse, was struck many times by rifle
shots, but there were no casualties. The
Parasua silenced the insurgents fire in
yards-and took occasion to capture Fill
Pine schooner which Davidson destroyed.
",Signed) WATSON"
The Paragua is one of the small gunboats
recently TUNED over to the navy by the
War Department. These gunboats are of
light draft and are of great service to the
navy in penetrating the interior in plIr-
suit Of the insurgents. The character of the
schooner destroyed is not stated, but she
was probably of small size and Insignificant
armament.
Hooker in II Better Position.
A cable dispatch has been received from
Quartermaster Miller at Manila concer ing
the cable ship Hooker, which was wre ked
on reef near Corregidor Island more than
month ago. 1t says:
Position of Hooker on reef shows Sight
alteration for better. BIDS for saving ves-
sci and cargo opened September Il. Have
sent to Hongkong for bids and appliances"
A report received in Washington says
that the soldiers in the Philippines say that
the American khaki uniforms are not equal
to the Manila article, which is obtained
there and which is cheaper. A beard of
officers has been ordered to investigate tie
matter of clothing.
Maj. James w. Pope has been relieved as
chief Guarternaster at Manila, his place
being taken by Maj. Crosby p Miller.
The Manila American, in recounting what
has been done by the Philippine commits
sion, says that if any person has sugges-
ton to make as to legislation for the Phil
ippines it should be made to the commits
sion, whose report, 1t is expected, will be
sent to Congress at the beginning of the
session. The paper adds: Instead of
complaining against the customs prevailing
here, 1t would be better to go before the
peace commission with an explanation of
the hardships, the inequalities and the OPP
pressiveness and undesirabilty Of the old
Spanish laws, when such instances are
personally encountered"
