They affect to believe that when this

Recalls One of His Predictions.

1T was in this hall in 1886 that I first
spoke of the international relations be-
tween the United States and England
in those dark days of the Venezuelan
controversy, when public feeling in
America had been aroused by the wholly
unfounded suspicion that we had some
des.grs OF empire in South America, and
when by a natural reaction we felt that
our brethren on the other side of the
water had neither judged nor treated us
with knowledge and fairness. / then
expressed my firm faith that the time
V ould come when all speaking the Eng
lish language and sharing the Anglo
Saxon civilization would be united with
a sympathy which no mere political di-
Vergence could permanently disturb.

The changing of bells, the outcries Of the

Some of them began to yell TO be let out.

CENSUS OFFICE PRINTERS.
Pay of Competitors and BoOkbinders
Not Yet known.

So far the efforts Of the Director of the
Census have been in the direction of cur
failing all unnecessary expense and to
make the appropriation at his disposal go
as far as possible. He has announced that
he viii know where every dime goes and
that there must be something to show for
its use. This determination OF the Director
has caused a feeling On the part Of the
printers that he viii decline to pay the in
crease Of so cents a day as provided by the
last Congress for compositors and book
binders in the Government Printing Office.
The Director has not made public his
intentions in this direction, but as the
Census printing Office will not be under
the jurisdiction of the Public Printer the
81 q day rate will not necessarily apply TO
IT, and il will be left discretionary with
the Director as TO what compensation the
compositors and bookbinders shall receive.

A BREWERY ROBBED.

NEWBURG, n. Y, Oct. 31.-A daring
robbery was committed at the brewery of
Charles Leychstein in this city at O'Clock
this morning a party of three masked
men, large in stature and with a complete
set of burglar tools, entered the office and
grappled the night watchman, Hugh Nc

to a chair Then they tapped the big safe
in the office and blew open the door. over
$500 in cash was secured. While two men
went through the safe one stood guard
over the helpless watchman, who could rot
move OF utter a word. McCullom says
the men were in the office over an hour.
They rifled every drawer and letter in the
building for booty. Finally the watch
man extricated himself, after the thieves
had been gone about ten minutes. He rush
ed to the telephone and found the burglars
had cut the wire before entering the office.
The brewery is about two miles from police
headquarters and McCullom ran the dis
tance to give the alarm. There is no clew

WILL BE TEST CASES.
Trial of Alleged VIoIators OF the
smoke Ordinance Today.

Trial of Alleged VIoIators OF the
smoke Ordinance Today.
The warrants which were issued Monday
on the complaint of the Health Office,
charging Orren G. Staples and Belt s. Dyer
with violations OF the smoke ordinance, were
served late yesterday afternoon. The de-
PENDANTS were notified to appear in court
today for a hearing.
Specifically the defendants are charged
with being then and there occupants of
certain buildings from which dense grey
and black smoke does arise, ~ and are
therefore amendable to prosecution. 1t
is said TO be the purpose to test the law in
the cases which have. been made The health
officials, however. claim that the law does
not need testing and declare that it viii
be rigidly enforced without discrimina-
tion.
With the advent of the enforcing of the
smoke ordinance arises considerable spec
ulation as to the power of the judges of
the Police Court TO sentence convicted Of
tenders in default Of their paying ines.
The act of Congress providing for the en-
forcing OF the law simply makes provision
for fine, and says nothing OF an alterna-
tive Imprisonment.
That section of the ordinance known as
section g. and which provides the penalty
TO be imposed on offenders, reads:
That any person or persons violating
the provisions Of this act shall, upon con-
viction thereof, before the Police Court Of
the District OF Columbia. be punished by
a fine of not less than SO nor more than
/ $780, for each and every offence; and each
and every day wherein the provisions Of
this act shall be violated shall consti-
tute a separate offence"
/ While a fine is provided for as
/ a penalty for a violation Of the
/ smoke ordinance no provision is
made for a term OF Imprisonment in the
1 event that the person or persons fined
should be unable 10 or refuse to pay such
! fines.
! Chief Clerk Mclean. of the Health Of
! fee stated yesterday that he had not no
ticed this apparent neglect on the part
/ Of Congress. He had not seen District At
/ torney Mullowny concerning the matter
! he said, but was of the opinion that the law
/ was defective He thought. however,
/ that the Police Court judges were
/ empowered to impose a sentence in de-
/ fault of a fine, when the act under which
| a conviction is secured does not provide
/ for such a sentence.
District Attorney Mullowny, when seen
| in regard to the matter, stated that a
| general statute governed all cases where
| a fine and no sentence was provided for
| a misdemeanor He stated further that
| the judges of the Police Court could i'm
! pose a sentence in the event that con
victed person was unable or refused TO pay
| the fine imposed. The term OF the sen
tence, he said, would be at the discretion
| Of the court.
In answer TO a question as to what
would prohibit a judge from being arbi-
trary and imposing too severe sentence.
Mr Mullowny replied that the Constitu-
tion of the United States provided for
that, and declared invalid any exorbitant
| sentence.

A BASEBALL DEAL.
Efforts to Combine the Louisville
and Pittsburg Clubs

ana PttTSDurS Clubs.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct SI-The biggest
deal in baseball circles since the Balti-
more Brooklyn combination is now being
considered, and, if consummated, will leave
Louisville out of the National League
circuit. and at the same time place a
team in Pittsburg which will outrank the
present champions in every department OF
the game The head of this new team will
be Barney Dreyfuss, now President OF the
Louisville club. Whether the purchase
of the Pittsburg team is ever made by Mr..
Dreyfuss or not the chances are decided
ly against National League ball being
played in this city next season. Mr.. Drey-
fuss frankly admits that he is ready TO
sell his Louisville holdings. The local
team cleared but $500 on the season with
the best team in its history, The total
receipts at home were but $13, 500; not a
third as much as was taken in on the road.
Mr. Dreyfuss has just returned from
Pittsburg. where he held a number of
consultations with President Kerr. The
Pittsburg magnate is willing to sell but
puts a high value on his franchise. Mr..
Drdsfuss says that Mr.. Kerr owns $50 600
of the Sl00 600 stock, but says he does rot
know what figure Will be decided on for
the sale Mr.. DTeyfuss thinks that the
League would pay $4,000 or S12. 600 for the
franchise The players would bring a big
sum. BY combining the Pittsburgs and
: LOuisvilles a pennant winner could be
formed, with Wagner at first, Ritchey at
second. Williams at short, Leach at third
and Clarke, Beaumont, and Dexter as out
feders. The pitchers would be Tannehill,
Cunningham, Waddell, Philippi and Lee
YER, and Bowerman and thinner for back
stops This would leave number of good
men who could be sold, including Dono-
van, Mccarthy Clingman, Ely. Hoy, Schri-
yer, Bowling, Lattimer, and McCreery. A
comfortable sum could be realized from
these The plan would make Mr. Drey-
fuss one of the most powerful magnates
of the League.
