'If the offenders in this case have not

to the propaganda which delays the fruit
of peace and makes our progress and sur
prosperity captive in the clutches of the
monster of civil war. Our prosperity has
been withheld through errors and entan-

responsible. but which claim a prompt
and quick solution. In carrying out this

STRAUSS NAME
NOT PRESENTED.
Democrats Of Maryland
Legislature Caucus.
WHOLE SLATE WENT THROUGH.
Baltimore City Man Could Muster
Only 18 Votes and Declined to
Enter Contest for the Speaker
ship.

STATE HOUSE. ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec.
3t.-Caucuses were held by the Demo-
cratic majorities OF both the House and
Senate this evening and also by the Re-
publican minority in anticipation of the
organization of the House tomorrow.
Interest centred in the contest for the
speakership of the House of Delegates, in
which it was understood Isaac Lobe
Straus. of Baltimore City, would endeavor
to break the leaders choice of Noble l.
Mitchell, of Hartford. and land the plum
himself.
Strnus Had But Is Votes.
It was found that Mr.. Straus could mus
ter only eighteen votes of the fifty-one
Democrats in the House. and he therefore
declined to allow his name to go before
the caucus.
Mr.. Mitchell received all the votes ex-
cept that of Mr.. Straus, who voted for
Mr.. Shepherd. of Dorchester. Mr.. Straus
is very sore, and threatens to make trou-
BILE for the Democrats. He will, how
ever, not likely be able to carry any Of
his followers into the fight with him.
Hummer for Senate President.
The Democratic Senators selected John
Hubner, of Baltimore County, as caucus
nominee for president OF that body.
The full slate of the clerical force in
both houses was adopted as arranged at
the conference in Baltimore yesterday, and
was as follows:
House of Delegates-Speaker, Noble L.
Mitchell. OF Hartford County; chief clerk.
DR.. Benjamin L. Smith. of Dorchester
County: reading clerk, Walter Townsend,
of Baltimore County; journal clerk, Fred
erick Sasscer, jr-, OF Prince George
County.
The Senate-President OF the Senate,
John Hubner. of Baltimore County; sec
retary of Senate, Alfred s. Ritter. OF
Frederick County; reading clerk, Albert
AIr'oney. of Montgomery County: journal
clerk, Richard Worthington, of Balti-
more City.
Attitude of Straus' Friends.
Mr. Straus' friends declare that they
will make a strong fight against the
Democratic managers throughout the ses-
sion They declare it to be we'll settled
that Democrats of strong influence and
following in Baltimore and in many coun-
ties will back Mr.. Straus in his efforts to
prevent the House of Delegates from be-
coming the "subservient instrument OF
the party bosses"
There was also a conference of the
members of the Baltimore city delegation
of both parties, who met 10 discuss mat
ters of local interest.

DESPOILED CAPITOL BATHROOM.
Thieves Cut Away Pipes and Fiv-
lures and Leave No Clue.

Thieves have plundered the toilet room
on the House side of the Capitol Building
They not only despoiled bathroom by
cutting out the pipe, but carried away
large sections of brass rods and fixtures
which could be removed.
Just when this vandalism was COM
mitted. and how, is a mystery. The city
and Capitol police are puzzled. Yesterday
morning an employe discovered their
work, probably done during the previous
night. One of the bathrooms looked as if
timers. ironworkers. and others had been
at work for several hours.
The local police were notified to look
out for the missing property, and Captain
Weller of the Capitol police sent list
of the missing fixtures, which was trans
mitted over the city.
Every effort to learn more of the there's
is being made. as the theft of anything
in the Capitol comes under the direct
notice of the Government authorities.

The Fight in Court.
The fight then was based on President
Cleveland's rule promulgated November
.. 1895. and President McKinley's order
OF July q. 1897. In his decision, Judge
Lurton said:
That these authoritative orders of the
Chief Executive have been or are about

way:
The young woman who received it had
ordered several articles of jewelry from
Shaw & Berry, and these were shipped
to her on the same day that the diamond

There were two boxes precisely alike

LIVELY ROW
ON F STREET.
MERCHANT RESISTS ATTACHMENT.
w. II. COvinEtOn Alleged to Have
Assaulted Constable Williams,
Who Called to Serve Writ
Issued on Judgment.

The Street Photographic supply store
Of W. R. Covington. which is near
Eleventh Street, was the scene OF a lively
row last evening.
1t was Virgil G. williams last day as
constable, because the new District code
has wiped him out. He went to Coving-
toms place to serve an attachment upon
a judgment issued by a justice of the
peace, who also issued his last writ yes
terday, and retired from office.
But for all the fact that it was his
last levy, Constable Williams will prob
ably remember it better than any other
he served while in Office.
Objected to Money Being Taken.
The hands of a clock in the Covington
establishment pointed to $50 o'clock as
Williams entered, accompanied by Samuel
Jones. a negro. Coyington, after waiting
on customer. was informed by Williams
that the latter had the writ to serve.
coyington objected to the money in his
5h drawer. about s1Gy, being attached.
Villains viewed the stock in the store a
naoment and said something about getting
wagon in which to nauI away the gUUus.
Covington meanwhile had turned toward
The rear of the store, where his mother
stood.
AS Covington turned away Williams is
said to have gone straight for the cash
drawer. where he stood moment count
ing the bills and coin. Then COvington
pOunced upon the constable, according to
report. and assaulted him. Jones. the ne
gro, started 10 assist the constable.
At this point stranger entered the
store, and he started in to help Coving
ton. Williams called out the front door
to Policeman Samson, who put an end to
the distuT bance.
Williams left the store on the arrival
of the policeman, going to the office OF
Justice of the Peace Taylor, where he Sc
cured a warrant for the arrest of Gov
ington. Samuel Jones also swore out a
warrant for COvington. charging assault.
Called on Mother for Help.
While the fight in the store was going
on, Covington called to his mother, who
lent him what aid she could. 1t is said
she recovered from Williams some of the
money which the latter still had in his
hands during the fight with Covington.
Policemen Samson and Oriani served
the warrants on COvington shortly after
they we're issued. At the First precinct
station COyington deposited collateral foF
his appearance in the Police Court this
morning.
