The Secretary Of he
District Of Columbia

The two District Commits
sioners chosen from civil life

Directly after the reading OF the min

tion OF privilege

He had read from the clerks desk

Captain Won Christmas, agent Of the Dan

confidential report TO his Government,
setting forth that he was entitled 10 10
per cent OF altogether about 100000 OF
the price to be paid by this Government
for the Danish West Indies, part Of which
was used in bribing members OF the

committee arbitrating or mediating in the
threatened strike was TO be decided at
the meeting.
Secretary RalPa Easley, Of the Fedora
ton, was asked II the fact that the large
operators interests were represented at
this mornings meeting could be construed
as a practical recognition Of the United
Mine Workers.
He said that the meeting today was in
formal, and It would not therefore be fair
10 put such a construction upon the pres
ence OF the magnates-
The miners here. he added, represent
the miners in the feld. but he did not
think il would be fair 10 say they repre-
sented the union he said It was - deli
cate question, and the situation would
not be taken advantage of in the meeting
1t was reported this morning that Seaa-
tor Hanna had called upon Mr.. Morgan
yesterday afternoon and talked with him
regarding the strike situation. 1t vas
also reported that Morgan had said TO
Mr.. Hanna that he was in favor or avoid
ing a strike, and saw no objection 10 tie
recognition OF the union.
Senator Hanna denied that he had talked
with Mr. Morgan about tho strike. He
had seen Morgan. he said, hut a'thing
whatever had cen said about The threat
ened strike.
Statements From the Leaders.
Senator Hanna. The Developments thus
far are a signal victory for the miners and
the Civic Federation. The operators have
been brought to realizing sense that
there is a common good to be derived
from an organization in their own ranks.
II nothing else results from the meet
ing Of the Federation today. the estab-
lishment Of this community Of interests
is a strong card against any resort 20
strikes in the future. The battle is half
won wAyn the operators and the men have
been brought together"
President Mitchell: The result Of this
meeting viii mean much for the f.tu-s Of
the mining interests in Pennsylvania. It
is the first occasion on which we feel
that the men will have a fair AMI i'm
partial hearing. II is most certainly a
long step in our favor. and great victory
for the Civic Federation. The Organiza-
tiou. though still young. has already
proved it's strength"
Senator Hanna said today that J. Pier
pont Morgan had nos been asked to CO.
operate in any way with the federation
in effecting a settlement. 4 saw Mr..
Morgan yesterday" said he, but the
strike question was only referred TO in
a casual way"

The Office Of Secretary Of the District
OF Columbia is 10 be created. IL the wishes
Of the Commissioners Of the District. ac-
guessed in by the Senate District Com
mittee are realized
Senator Mcmillan, at the request OF the
Commissioners. introduced today a bill
relating 20 the once Of Secretary OF
the District Of Columbia which pro-
vides that a secretary shall be appointed
BY the President, with the consent Of the
Senate, 70 hold Office for four years and
receive a salary OF 5000 a year.
The bill provides that the once shall
be filed within thirty days after the
passage Of the bill Il is stipulated that
the secretary shall be a citizen Of the
United States and a resident OF tho
District. according TO the rules now ap-
plying to the District Commissioners.
II is also provided that he shall give a
bond similar to those given by the Com
missioners
May Act as Commissioner.
The secretary is TO be Acting Commis-
sioner during The absence Of either Of the
Commissioners from civil life.
The particular duties OF the Secretary
shall be to keep a record Of the acts
and correspondence OF the Commissioners
sitting as a board, and sucn other ger
name duties as the Board OF Commis-
sioners may from time to time prescribe %
He shall have sole official charge OF the
custody and use Of the seal Of the District
OF Columbia
Purpose Of the Bill
In the event Of the temporary absence
Of the secretary. it is provided that he
shah, with the approval OF the Comm.s-
sioners, designate a suitable person TO
perform his duties.
Commissioner Maefarland yesterday
wrote letter 70 Mr.. Mcmillan. pointing
out what the Commissioners consider an
esDeciaT need OF such a new officer. He
said that the principal object Of the
proposed bill is 10 provide agaf lst inter
ruption OF the administration OF the Dis
trict government in case Of the absence
Of either Of the Commissioners from civil
life.
He stated that serious embarrassment
might Il any time result from the present
system.
Mr. MacfarIand alluded to the fact that
the law already provides for a substitute
for the Engineer Commissioner.
The bill would substantially revive the
Office OF the Secretary Of the District OF
Columbia discontinued BY the act OF 1874,
abolishing the territorial form OF gov
ernmeEJ for the District.
Affects DR. TindsT
The present Secretary TO the Commis-
sioners," Dr. TindaH would be the per
son chiefly affected by the change in the
law. Dr. Tindau is considered one Of the
most efficient officers Of the District gov
ernment- He belongs TO the regular ser
vice and is virtually a clerk not affected
by changes Of administration or in the
personnel Of the Board OF Commission
ers. This bill would give him much larger
power than he now exercises. but It
would also. in making him virtually a
Commissioner, make him liable to retire
ment at any time The question OF sal
airy is not a consideration in the bill. as
Dr. Tindall's salary vould not be changed

A New 0rphanage Enterprise.

The Louisiana Baptist Orphanage
with its temporary domicile at
keachie, La, for the past few months
at recent meeting Of the Trustees,
was permanently located at Lake
Charles.
The purpose for which this institp-
ton was organized and chartered. is
to care for destitute orphan children
OF Louisiana, feeding, clothing, edu-
eating and preparing them for the
realities of life.
1t is also the purpose OF the man
agement to place children into good
homes, by adoption preferably, and
to be, as near as is possible, father
and mother to them. They do not
discriminate between children as to
creed or denomination of their pa
rents, receiving a child just as gladly
ont of home where parents were not
religious, or were members of some
other denomination, as if the child
was OF Baptist parentage. They be-
lleve that with due care and manage
ment, many an orphan child who
otherwise might 60 to. the bad, PROV
ing curse to the world, can be so
reared, character SO moulded, that
they will make good citizens, many
Of whom, if not all, may at last get
home to heaven.
To this end Lake Charles has given
$4,000 in cash, and real estate valued
at Sill 900 for the blishment and
building Of permanent home within
the corporate limits of the city.
The trustees propose, for the first
house, building $4,000 brick
structure. We want to give every
one an opportunity to assist in this
noble work of CHARITY. Any amount.
however small or large, will be thank
fully received and acknowledged.
Your contribution may be the cause,
under God, of proving GREAT
BLESSING to some POOR, DESTITUTE
orphan child.
We want TO build this house as
soon as possible, SO what you do
please do it at once. The temporary
home is now full, and several appli-
cations have been rejected in the past
few days.
The Board Of Trustees are: Judge

The Need Of a Chaperone.

One of the most important de-
mands of social life is that young
girls should be properly chaperoned.
Mothers cannot be too careful of
their duties in the guardianship of
their young daughters. This does not
imply any doubt as to their trust,
worthIness, but the world is neither
lenient nor kind Judge; society de-
.mands that certain laws for conduct
be observed, and if they are disregar-
ded the parents must get the credit Of
being ignorant or sadly indifferent, or
the daughters Of being reckless, for
ward, or rebellious. There are few
things 50 precious and sacred as the
reputation of young girl. A moth
er is girls natural chaperon. II
she cannot accompany her always, she
can. at least, be sure that her daugh-
ter is under proper and dignified
protection. The Delineator for May
in its department of social obser-
vances, has discussed very
closely this phase of family obligs-
tions and calls attention to the fact
that lack Of care on the part Of
parents results too often in the fool-
ish engagements and imprudent early
marriages OF young people.
