FRESHMEN AT DENVER.
National Convention of the Ancient
Order of Hiberniaus.


A dispatch from Denver yesterday says:
The work of the forty-second biennial con-
vention Of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
began today with a meeting of the national
executive committee and board of directors.
Five hundred delegates are expected to be
in the hall when the convention opens to-
morrow.
The national officers deny that politics
will be injected into the deliberations
1.-The convention said President John
Heating, will occupy itself with the ex-
tension of the order, and will take action
on the death Of Archbishop Feehan Of Chi
cago national chaplain of the order His
was carrying on an important work in or
ganizing the ranks of the order in the old
country.
I'VE expect that the organization in Ire
land and that in the United States will be
united In the next six eight months. AS
to the charges that the executive has been
Influenced by the Clan-na-Gael, or any other
body, will say that the administration for
the last four years has been as conserva-
tive as any / can remember in my long con-
nection with the order
An anonymous circular is in circulation
calling upon good Hibernians to oppose any
resolution which may be offered indorsing
the Clan-na-Gael.
President Heating has announced that he
is not a candidate for reelection. James
E. Dolan of Syracuse, n. Y, national presi-
dent, and John A. Ryan of Boston, are
mentioned as candidates for the presidency.
The national directors decided to advise

societies of Irishmen for aid

Many members insist that such action
would afford a bad precedent and would
entitle the Irish League, the Clan-na Gael.
the Gaelic League and a number of othe-
organizations 10 be given the same privl-
leges, and the directors agreed that par
agraph advising conservatism be inserted
in President Keaung's report.
Resolutions denouncing the Boer war as
'the most unjust conflict Of modern times"
and sacrifice to the ambitions of states
mem were incorporated in the report. Tho
usual denunciation OF England's oppression
of Ireland was adopted, but the national
directors carefully refrained from doing
anything that might be construed as a rec
ognition OF the contention of the United
Irish League, the Clan-na-Gael or any other
Irish society.
The national directors refused to take up
the cause OF Father Henneberry, who has
been deposed from the faculty OF the Ro-
man Catholic University at Washington
and who has asserted that the fund fur
nished by the Hibernisns to support .
chair for teaching Gaelic at the university
was being improperly used.
A fight will be made on behalf of Father
Henneberry In the convention.

WEEKLY GAS REPORT.
Falling Off in Illuminating Quality
Furnished by Companies.

The District Commissioners have received
the first of the special weekly reports from
the office of the United States inspector of
gas and meters as to the quality Of the gas
furnished by the Washington and George
town gas companies under the reduction
from % to % candle power, authorized In
the last appropriation bill for the District.
The report Is purely technical in char
acter, and while it is noted therein that
there has been loss in the candle power,
as was expected, the object of the Commits
sioners in learning whether or not there Is
less briliance or grosser quality has not
been plainly met in the report
1t is understood that s. Calvert Ford, the
inspector of gas is out of the city, the re-
port received today being signed by sub
ordinate in his office. The report, address
ed to Commissioner Macfarland who has
charge of the lighting departments says:

Mr.. Warmers Statement.


Chairman Warner yesterday gave out the
following interview:
''Of course, 1 am glad to see every con-
vention representing an aggregation of cit
liens that will be available to the national
capital come here to hold their annual con-
ferences. Washington presents many fea-
lures for entertainment of guests which
other cities do not have. For instance,
every one who comes here will want to visit
Mount Vernon, Arlington, the Soldiers
Home, the various departments of the gov
eminent, the Congressional Library and
the navy yard. The list of public attrac-
lions is very large and constantly increas-
ing. Our public parks and reservations are
being peoped with statues of great men,
which will form an object lesson to the
young and be great source of interest TO
all visitors.
THE expenditure of large amount of
money will not, in my opinion, be required
for the proper entertainment of the Grand
Army of the Republic. We have enough
now to insure an absolute success of the
enterprise. 1t is true, we need more, but l
have confidence enough in the people to be-
lieve that it will be forthcoming. So far as
l am personally concerned, l am opposed
to investing any considerable amount in
court of honor, decorations or illumina-
ton. Many business firms both in and out
of this city will undoubtedly participate in
electric illumination during the encamp-
ment for the purposes of business adyertis-
ing. We can use searchlights to great I'D
vantage in setting out conspicuously the
dome of the Capitol and the Washington
monument. individuals all along the line of
Pennsylvania avenue and other prominent
streets will undoubtedly decorate their
houses with flags and bunting, and this
feature will be sufficiently covered by other
enterprises. We have many other eXcep-
tional attractions here, and we must rely
on these very largely for the pleasure and
profit of our guests.
What l say regarding the coming en-
campment applies to all future conventions.
We shall have a great deal of public enter
tainment In the way of speaking and mu-
sic, which will be comparatively inexpen-
sive, L believe in expanding these features
much as possible"

Chemical Engine Ordered

The Commissioners have authorized the
purchase of the new chemical engine for
use at Congress Heights, accepting the
offer of Messrs Charles T. Holloway a.
Co. Of Baltimore to furnish the same
for $2,400. This will be the fifth large
chemical engine purchased by the District,
all of which are now in use. The proposal
Of the Holloway company was received
under the date of July 10, and provides for
one of its latest improved, double cylin-
der, eighty-fve gallons each, chemical fire
engines. complete, together with certain
specified extra equipments.

Tax Sales Cancelled,

The Commissioners have directed that the
tax sales Of April IS. 1901. and April IT,
1902, of sublot 40, block 7, Barry Farm, in
the name of William H. BROKER, be can
ceied and that the purchase money, with
interest, be refunded to the purchaser, Mr.
c. II. Wiltsie, in accordance with law.

Edelin, be allowed to pay her portion OF
the tax on the above recited property for
the years 1900, 1901 and 1902, without inter-
est and penalties.

Details of Preparations.

The committee on literature for the en-
campment is informed that many residents
of Washington have In their possession
valuable pictures which would serve adj
mirably for reproduction in the booklet on
washington During the War" which that
committee is now preparing. Chairman Vim
cent of that committee desires particularly
to obtain any such illustrations which can
be had, and has asked that Secretary Bulk
ley receive at headquarters any pictures
which can be lent for that purpose.
Many inquiries are received at headQuar-
tiers daily for the detailed program of the
encampment. AT present the publication of
such a program is delayed by General Tor
renee, but the citizens executive committee
anticipates that he will soon be ready to
announce the schedule Of the official events
which are TO occur during the reunion, in
which event the full program can speedily
be made up and published.
All the women's organizations concerned
in the forthcoming encampment-the Wo-
mans Relief Corps, the Legion of Loyal
Women, the Ladies' Of the G. A. R., and the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the L. V. Twill unite
in giving a lawn fete August Is and 16. 1t
is planned that this entertainment shall be

Great Interest in Washington.

Il heartily sympathize with the views
expressed by Chairman Warner in his in
terview. yesterday, regarding the peculiar
attractions incident TO the nations capital.
We have more here in the way of perma-
nent places of interest, which are acCessi-
Bile to the general public. than can be
shown in any city on this continent. The
Capitol and other public buildings are In
themselves of particular interest to the
country. Then, too, Arlington cemetery
terest in the welfare and growth of his
country. Then. too. Arlington Cemetary
is fast becoming the most attractive spot
on this continent to the old soldier, and
to those who are connected with the army
and navy. Its boundaries are not restrict
ed like those of Westminster Abbey and
the burial places of the old world, but are
practically without limit, and l look to the
time as not far distant when the most
burial vaults of the world will be gathered
there. Then all this talk about deferring
the erection of the Memorial bridge will
cease. You will see vast change of public
sentiment on that subject after the
campment passes away.
Another place of peculiar interest, and
which is W nth visit to the national CAPT
tai, Is Mount Vernon. The new electric
railroads and steamboat lines will keep the
visitors occupied for several days.
We want to treat our guests royalty and
generously without attempting to do so
by the display of courts of honor or scenic
attractions, which are, at best, but imita-
tive and temporary and will occupy no per-
manent place in the minds of the visitors"

Raymond, chairman of the finance commit
tee have transmitted to Gen. Ell Terrence,
commander-in- chief of the G. A. R., a
check for $4,000, the full sum needed for
free quarters during the encampment. By
this action the whole question of free quar-
tiers is taken out of the hands of the cit-
zens' committee. All the efforts of that
committee will now be directed to making
the other features of the encampment
success-provding for suitable decoration
of business houses, arranging for the public
meetings which are to play so important
part in the encampment, and allotting quar-
tiers to posts which intend to pay for their
accommodations.
Mr. Raymond's recent trip to California
has made him enthusiastic in regard to the
prospective attendance at the encampment.
From my observations while on that trip
to San Francisco" he said this morning, Il
am sure the attendance at the coming en-
campment will be greater than at any other
gathering held in the capital city. All along
the route | saw advertisements of the rail-
roads, with pictures of the national capital
and Grand Army scenes, calculated to at
tract attention to the low rates and gen
eral attractions incident to that occasion.

which indicated the fact that they were
