Mr. Clemens added: MY copyrights pro-

MARK TWAIN IN WHITE.
Made a Picturesque Figure at the
Capitol.

Samuel l.. Clemens, who travels IN .er the
alfas of Mark Twain, was visitor at the
Capitol yesterday, and hung around under
the dome for quite spell, smoking and
Ginning and having a good time generally.
Mr.. Clemens wore white flannel suit, and
looked as if he had been wandering around
the Island of Jamaica or playing down on
the isthmus. and had just dropped in on
Washington between drinks Everybody
who saw Mr. Clemens had a sudden chill,
but the famous humorist seemed rather to
enjoy the sartorial sensation he created.
Somebody asked him about the white suit,
and Mr.. Clemens replied

ENTERS UPON INQUIRY.
President Gompers Of A. F. of L. In
vestigating Marine Council.

A quiet but thorough investigation is be-
ing made, it is said, by the officers of the
American Federation of Labor into the
matter of the recent sending of memorials
to Congress by a number of labor UNIONS
that are affiliated with the federation ia
voring the passage of the ship subsidy bill.
President Samuel Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor left this city
Thursday and his destination and the pur-
pose of his trip are somewhat of mystery.
although a labor leader gave it as his opin-
ion that Mr.. Gompers had gone to New
York to investigate the so-called Marine
Council.
The council, it is alleged, promulgated a
circular among the labor unions of the
United States requesting them to me-
morialize Congress in the interest of the
ship subsidy bill While these petitions
were being circulated for signatures the
American Federation of Labor, in annual
session at Minneapolis, passed resolutions
condemning the ship subsidy measure. as it
was stated to be against the best interests
of organized labor.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Frank Morrison,
secretary of the American Federation of
Labor and other officials of organized la
Dor that the Marine Council is composed
only of a few interested persons who desire
the passage of the bill for Interior reasons.
and that as matter of fact the working
men of this country are opposed to the pas
sage of the act.

THE cREFFrELD SWAY.

Crefield dead seems to sway his de.
luded followers with malignancy OF
force and purpose unknown during his
earthly career. The cold, calculated, de-
iberate murder of George Mitchell on
Thursday evening by the sister for
whose honor and salvation he had al
ready put his life and soul in jeopardy,
was an emanation of the vile cult of
which Crefiield was the high priest, that
should, at least, operate as a climax so
far as the law of the land is concerned.
Every one connected with the nasty band
of insane degenerates, as votary, or as
neophyte, should be rounded up and
placed within the walls Of the handiest
asylums. That they are radically in
sane is the utter limit of kindly consid-
Grafton. The law has dallied with the
monstrous thing too long and should
assert itself before the next, and newt
able, horror is developed. Such people
as they are constant menace to the
peace and moral dignity of any COM
munity they shall infest; the people at
large are devoutly anxious for their en-
tire and final submergence and viii soon
take hand in the matter if something
in the way of radical relief is not fur
nished by the courts. Toleration ceases
to be virtue when murder, suicide, and
illimitable licentiousness, are the main
tenets and practices of any group Of
people. whether carried on under the
guise of religion, or enacted in the hon
ester course of undisguised human pas
sion. Cleffieldism must go!

THE FIFTIETH JUDGE.

The French Court of Cessation, vita
its forty nine judges, has at last handed
down a decree of complete aequittal in
favor Of Captain Dreyfus, the gallant
French officer who has borne the stigma
and stess of false charge of disloyalty
for almost score of years. The fiftieth
Judge, universal public opinion, accorded
him immunity and innocence, years and
years ago; but there is nothing loftier
and sillier, on the blessed earth, than the
French court of last resort. Therefore,
has he suffered intolerable ignominy all
this time; and now when the splendor
of his manhood is breaking and he is
entering the shadows, crushed and en-
bittered by the frightful injustices that
have been heaped upon him, this trav-
esty of compensation is handed him in a
blaze of artificial glory that decieves
no one, much less the recipient. 1t is
all one long, cruel farce, only the crini-
nal phases of it have long since oblit-
Grated the farcical element and the
credit Of France has been crucially i'm
paired. He should signal his restora-
tion to the grades and honors of the
army by Sitting off his own epaullets,
breaking his own sword, and casting the
debris in the faces of his superior (sic)
officers and incompetent judges.
