CHASED A NEGRO OFFICER.
PennsyIvDnia Soldiers Irate Because
'COnrade Is CIubbed.

Pennsylv Gnia troopers chased Stephen
Powell. a negro special officer. into the
First precinct station last night after
Frank Mullen. member of the State Ma
tional Guard, had been struck on the head
with club. 1t was alleged that the col
ored policeman struck Mullen. Powell
escaped injury. but the soldiers to the
number of several hundred gathered
about the station and were vehement in
denunciation Of the action of the police.
Further trouble was narrowly averted.
The disturbance began when a trooper,
unknown to the police, smashed a window
on ID Street, near Thirteenth Street
northwest. Powell and another police
man ran toward the soldier, followed by a
mob of men in uniforms and civilian
dress, and, it is said the negro drew his
club, and in welding it, struck Mullen
heavily over the head. A severe scalp
wound resulted. and Mullen sought medi-
cal attention at the Emergency Hospital
Meanwhile the soldiers started for the
policeman, and drove Powell toward the
station on Twelfth Street Near the sta
tion Powell had to run, with the mob at
his heels. Lieutenant Amiss was in the
stationhouSe, and he addressed the sol
diers from the door. The troops were
loud in their complaints against the po-
lice officers. but finally dispersed Short
ly afterward Powell was sent home by
the lieutenant.
AT the hospital Mullen was treated and
his wound bandaged. while a number of
fellow soldiers waited without the build
ing. He was able to leave the hospital
about midnight.

Accused of vioInting Excise Laws.

Saloons in many instances kept "open"
house yesterday despite the stringent ex-
else laws, and because of the swarms of
strangers in the city limits. Samuel Gass-
cuheimer, proprietor of the Lawrence
Hotel, was arrested last night by the
First precinct police, charged with viola
tion OF the Sunday liquor law, and it is
thought warrants may be secured today
for other alleged offenders. Mr.. Gassen-
hefmer went to the station and deposited
500 collateral, thus securing his release.

The Rey, DR. Hamlin. however, took an
optimistic view, believing that ii reaction
and respect for law would reassert itself
in the future. He referred to the Capital
City. saying:
II went out on our great Avenue this
afternoon TE- disregard of law We see
today will not be understood to be the
customary and normal condition in our
city. The Commissioner of the District
who will speak to you is n Christian man,
and Mr.. Mckinley is a Christian states
man. We have well-governed city. and
/ hope you young soldiers will not judge
of our city by what you have seen during
your brief soionrn here.
The Rev DR.. Wilson then introduced
Commissioner Macfarland, who said, in
part:
1T seems 10 me most appropriate that
we on the eve of the first Inauguration
of the twentieth century, should assemble
in the house of God and ask the blessings
of him who has been our guide in all
generations. OF course, there are people
to whom reference has been made who
see nothing except that which they see
with their eyes. But we who think We
can discern the unseen ought by our ex>
ample to inspire better regard for law
and all that pertains to the highest civili-
ZatiOn.
There IS one fortunate thing in this
Inauguration. 1t will cause no change in
the policy and conditions of the country
as do some Administrations. Mr.. McKin-
lev has been President and he will con-
tinue to be President. His policy will not
change. We are assured of this by the
announcement that the entire Cabinet will
be renomfnatcd with possibly the eXcep-
ttiou of Attorney General Griggs. who
retires.'

This letter. together with one conveying
similar intelligence to Secretary Cortel

diately after the forecast officials com
pleted their work last night. Mr.. Moore
was highly elated at the prospect and
called attention TO the fact that he had
inserted the word surely in the letter
when he asserted that the sky would be
clear He said he WAS willing to stake
not only his own reputation, but the rep
utatiOn of the entire Weather Bureau, oE
the accuracy of the forecast.
There is not a sign of a storm east of
the Mississippi River, and there is not the
slightest indication which gives ground
for the least fear that she day VIII be
ANYTHING but a perfect one.
For several days indications have been
favorable for the prevalence of pleasant
weather on Inauguration Day and the
public has been building high hopes that
the occasion of the second inauguration
of William Mckinley would prove an ex-
ception as far as weather was concerned,
to the general Inauguration Day rule.
Since last Wednesday the forecast ofti-
ciaIs at weather stations all over the
United States have been instructed to
keep an especially keen lookout for any
indications of stormy weather which
might possibly affect Washington on
March 4 The elements have been kind,
however. and President Mckinley will

SERVICES FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Special Addresses to the PittsburG
Infantry at Foundry Church.

The Inauguration services at the Found
ry Church last night consisted of plat
form meeting that attracted an assembly
that completely filed the spacious audi
torium of that house of worship. The
Washington Infantry, of Pittsburg, Pa,
comprising sixty men, attended in body,
bearing the banner of the organization.
The company marched down the aisles
and was assigned to seats in front of the
altar The church was decorated with
choice flowers of the early spring.
The pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr.
father B. Wilson, in a few appropriate
words. welcomed the soldiers from the
Keystone State.
After a brief song service, a cornet solo
by Mr.. Kenney, and selections by the
choir. Rev Dr. Wilson introduced the
Rev. Teunis Hamlin, of the Church of the
Covenant who said. in part:
ITO the many guests who are In our
city for few days this is a notable occa-
sion. / think it is right that once in four
years representatives of the people Of
this broad land should come here, for
the Washington of today is home in
civic sense for every ci izen, come from
whatever section he may. 1t is a city
whom all should and. | think, do cherish
with patriotic emotions. | think 1t is
right, too, that the induction into office
of the President of 20 900 900 people should
be attended with some display. We
Americans have no sympathy with the
pomp and spiendor of the courts of the
Old World. and yet we should not let our
democratic ideas set at naUght all display
though our Chief Magistrates be demo-
ratio in their IDEAS.

simplicity in the visit of eX-President
