[Copyrtyht, MS*. In- U*s Associated Press.] London, April ££.—Tb« Ostentatious display at the marriage ot the Eiart of Crewe ta Lady Margaret Primrose, sec.cnd daughter of Kiyl Bosjebery. at Westminster Abbey on Thumi*^, comes opportune as a sufficient reply to the Invidious distinctions drawn hers between British and American society methods. The Vanderbilt and Sloan weddings called for tirades from the press against Americans for llashlnees and mCllonalre extravagance, etc., but Lord Rosebery certainly capped the secord by the arrangements :o have the bridal party cinematograph on entering and leaving the abbej-, Kor this purpose he had the awning at the entrance removed, and the party, on leaving the old edifice ••marlted time’* to a certain degree, in order that the pictures might be a complete success. The bridal party drove to and from the abbey In open carnages and everything was done to Insure the widest publicity of every detail of the arrangements, and a description of the

present*.

Usually, at this time of the year, there is a long list of advertised festivities, but up to the present very few dances and only one big ball have been announced. The latter will be given ly Mr. William Waldorf Astor in June, and will be one of the

leading events of the season.

The death of the Dowager Duchess of Marlborough, widow of the seventh Duke of Marlborough, was a severs .blow to the social season. She never completely recovered from the death of her son, Lord Randolph Churchill. Her demise put a long list of members of the peerage In mourning, Iccludlng the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, who have already had to forego several engagements, political and •®®AaT. The ft t.cral of the dowager duchess took place or. Friday afternoon at

Blenheim.

Concerning To* Sloan.

As a result of the incident of the Epsom spring meeting which resulted In the disqualification of Tod Sloan, the American Jockey who was riding Eou d’Or, the stewards were careful to make It clear that they did not consider Sloan blameable. The course Is extremly difficult to a stranger, and Eou d’Or proved practically unmanageable. The sporting wiseacres deduce therefrom that Sloan’s method of riding does not give him great command of his horse, and that he can not get enough leverage If hts mount la Inclined to swerve. Sloan’s defeat on Jolly Tar In the race for the Tudor plate was a great disappointment to hls supporters, who are Indignant at the manner In which he was treated by the other Jockey*. One of the sporting experts write* that the Tudor plate was “the most unsatisfactory race this year," adding: “No one watching the race with a fair, open mind, can have any hesitation In saying • filn®n was hampered and knocked about In a series of ’pockets,’ which annihilated all chances of winning, and the sequel wa* that be eased up, seeing that all tffort waa useless. This means that the English Jockeys have begun a repetition of the tactics of last year." The same writer declares the tactics of certain Jockeys toward foul riding should get

them warned oft the track.

The Taicharaan believes that although there will not be a series of matches between the cup challenger, Shamrock and Valkyrie III, the former will undoubtedly take part in ordinary matches, as such racing will enable the crew to get together and bring the boat up to her beat

speed.

American industrial competition ha* again come prominently to the front this week. *Hardly a day has passed without an articls or a letter on the subject in the London newspapers. The Atbara bridge contract, which has almost assumed the proportions of a national question, came before the House of Commons on Thursday, when the government was asked a string of questions on the subject, to which the parliamentary secretary of the Foreign Office, the Rt. Hon. William St. John Brad rick, was only able to reply that he had no Information beyond what was contained in the report recently Issued hy Lord Cromer, the British agent

In Egypt.

American Competition.

The Tlml|s has printed a lengthy article on American competition in the Iron trade, nnd called attention to America’s Jump in exports of Iron and steel, one ru ult being that English prices and exports alike are not entirely fixed by home or continental competition, as they used to be, but by the prevailing tone of the markets gnd Industrial situation generally in the United States. It adds that a notable case In point was the combined effort of the British rail manufacturers to keep up the price of heavy sections, which resulted In the partial ruin of that branch of the business, the Americans taking the order instead of the British. Continuing, the Times remarks: “The situation la truly serious for the British manufacturers. who are asking two fundamental questions—whether American competition must inevitably regulate m the future British exports and prices, and whether it la worth while struggling on under , such an overmastering Incubus." Dealing with the Imports of American manufao

tho Tim “ ‘

stated that he did so because the law waa plain on the point, although It conflicted with Ms private views. The road will be compelled to go before the City Counoil, however, for certain privileges, and it Is doubtful If the line can be built, unless Mayor Jones and hi# friends In the Council consent. • It hns been stated, since the decision of the court, that the necessity of the line to the city would cause those interested In municipal ownership at ones to prepare to further the line by Introducing resolutions into the Council to permit the city to build the road and run It according to the municipal ownership Idea. The Act Defective. Detroit. Mich., April 22—The discovery of an alleged flaw In the McLeod act authorising acquirement by the city of Detroit of the street railways, has raised another point against municipal ownership. The engrossed bill does not contain a clause which was in the original, vi*.: Providing that nothing In the act shall affect the granting of franchises by the City Council. Governor Plngree says the omission of the clause Is of no consequence. The attorneys of the Citizens’ company assert thpt the alleged discrepancy Is a strong point In the proceedings they are about to bring to test the act. THE BEEF INQUIRY.

Question* Which the President Had the Commission Investigate.

Washington, D. C., April 22.—The President’s questions to the beef Inquiry commission, which were read by Colonel Davis yesterday, In order to make them part of the record, are as follows; “The character and quality of the meat, refrigerated and canned, furnished to the army; bow purchased; how shipped to the aoldlers; if good, when shipped; what the cause of its deterioration. If any? “If the meat was doctored, did the com-missary-general or any of his officers have any knowledge of It of means of knowl-

edge?

“Was It the meat of commerce?

“Was it Inspected by the Government

Inspectors, as provided by law?

"Was It an authorized ration in tho

army? '

"U good when purchased, what made it bad? . : “Waa It anybody’* neglect or fault, and

if so. whose?

“When unlit for use; If you should so find, was the fact made known to the War Department; when and by whom.’ “If after leaving the depot commissary. It was not cared fqr hnd prqperly pre-.

gSrved, whose fault?

“Was It a suitable ration for the cam-

paigns in Cuba and Porto Rico?

“Was there anything belter that was Pr ^VVould It have been prudent for our troops to have made the expeditions to Santiago snd Porto Rico without the preserved meats, either refrigerated or

canned, with which they were supplied? “Could the army with any certainty

rely on the cattle on the hoof on these ^’’Did the commanding officer^In Santiago or Porto Rico, or the major-general commanding report during the war that either the refrigerated or canned beef was

an unfit ration?

“When were these ^reports first made

and by whom?

"It the allegations of’the major-general commanding are established, I want the court to find the cause *and fix the responsibility for the fact, that the guilty may

be properly punished. “Did the cgttla in r

Porto Rico make a wholesome ration?

“If the packers of the country are

guilty, it must be known.

“If the officers of the commissary department are guilty, It must be known. * “If any officer of the army is guilty, It

must be known ”

The Process Question. Both Major Lee and Colonel Davis sutn mltted a number of reports and a mass of correspondence. Among the documents read by Colonel Davis was a letter from the Washington attorneys of Messrs. Armour & Co., dated June la, 1898, after the contract for beef had been let. asking for a reconsideration of the subject In the Interest of their clients and an Indorsement by General Eagan as commlasarygeneraJ opposing the request. In their letter the attorneys represented that the Armours, controlled the Powell process for the treatment of meat and that this fact gave them such an advantage In the preservation of fresh beef as to justify the War Department in disregarding the difference In price and awarding theffi the contract. In hls Indorsement General Eagan referred to the letter of the attorneys as a “special pleading” and said there wa* no reason In this plea why the subject should be re-opened. This document was Introduced by Colonel Davis to show that General Eagan had not been Influenced by the representations concerning the Powell process. Major Lee submitted a deposition hy J. '8. Armstrong, president of the Armstrong Packing Company, of Dallas, Tex., which among other things set forth the substance of a conversation with General Eagan. Mr. Armstrong was one of the bidders for beef In block and said that while be was here In Washington he discussed with General Eagan the question of beef being kept for seventy-two hours after being taken from the refrigerator. Mr. Armstrong said he expressed the opinion that it was Impossible, to which General Eagan replied that Swift & Co. and Armour both had knowledge of a process by which beef could be kept for

that length of time.

QUAY’S ACQUITTAL. Wnnamnker’s Denunciation of What Penrose Thinks.

pros“The

tures, the Times thinks that the I ects are rather brighter, and says; British manufacturer’s mind Is somewhat relieved by the fact that prices In America are rising In a maimer which must satisfy even the average American aspirations for a boom, the duration of which ta the uppermost topic of concern." The article concludes with the hopeful remark that there is less reason to apprehend a flood 1 of American Imports of Iron and steel in 18M than there was last

year. ;

The newspapers In the Iron-working districts are taking the matter up. The Darlington North Star says: “The American entry into Brttiah markets is a positive danger. Every one knows It is never safe to let a customer go elsewhere. There is good reason for all interested in the iron and steel trades In Great Britain to consider seriously the question."

Bandar Newspapers.

The Non-Conformists, In their churches and organs, continue their bitter denunciations of seven-day newspapers, and It seems likely that tho agitation will develop Into a widespread boycott. The ministers are appealing to their congregations to pledge themselves not to read a newspaper publishing a Sunday edition. The British Weekly call* on the church to fight the battle and advises that the boycott bo extended to every publication of the firm* Involved. The Methodist Times urge# Methodist# not only not to buy the newimapers. but to Influence tradesmen against advertising In them. A proteat meeting was held In London on Thursday, at which 2.000 persona were present, against the seven-day papers. Mr. Sydney Webb, chairman of the technical education board, and some time lecturer on political economy at the City of London College and Workingmen's College, and now at the London School of Economics and Political Science,

The; 1 campaign leading up to the election is ilready in progress, and the principal point involved In the “pollUcs'’ is the question of whether the members of the golf club will be permitted to coax the email baijls over the links on the Sabbath, as was the practice last year. There have passed tjhrough the malls lately a number of letters bn this Sunday question. They were directed to members of the club, and had’ the signature of D. M. Parry. In the 'letters he said there Is an element in the telub which is opposed to Sunday golf placing, which last year, in hls opinion, made the clqbhouse “but little better than a roadhouse.” Mr. Parry suggested: that the way to correct objectionable things would be to elect a ticket in May Ir sympathy with the reforms proposed. Members of the club express Indignation at Mr. Parry’s characterizat.on, and say that he certainly did not measure hls words. The game is harmless healthful and invigorating, and no elemfent deserving severe criticism has developed. The players themselves seem to haye taken no other steps to offset tho campaign opened

by Mr. Parry.

Accepted and Withdrawn.

Mr. Parry has sent a letter ito William W, Krag, secretary of the club, saying that if the Sunday golf-playing did: not cease, hls letter might be regarded as hls resignation. He also sent a check to tAe secretary in payment of his dues. Seven of the nine directors held a meeting, at which It was decided to accept Mr. Parry’s resignation. He was so notified, and hls check was returned to him. Another letter! from him said ha did not care to leave the club and members now say there Is no disposition to have him go out of the organization. A “regular” ticket has been posted bearing the names of Alfred Potts, Walter Millikan and W. W. Knight for places on the directory, and It is said none of the three is opposed to the Sunday golf play-

ing.

There Is a third element in the Country Club, which is taking no part In the question. The members composing it say it Is a subject into which they do* not care to enter, as they have friends on both sides and are not themselves players. Some of these members also say that the Sunday playing Is subject to the regulation of the directors and house committee. 1 The house rules are quoted to show that jtha bowling alley must not be In operation on Sunday, and that the officers have within their control any of the diversion* In or about the club-house. Tbe Golf Clnb. The golf club is an independent organization, and still a’ part of the Country Club. The golf players have the privileges of the club-house, and befori they can play on the links, must have a Country Club membership. The arrangements for playing golf this year differ from those of last season. Heretofore, tjhe’ Country Club has had extended authority over the golf field, for the reason that It paid the rental on the forty or fifty acres on which the links Is located. But the arrangement thl# year Is for the golf club: to pay the rental. This will leave oqly the starting and finishing points of the links on the territory of the Country Club. This arrangement, the players urge, takes the links out of Country Club jurisdiction. About one hundred persons: had membership In the golf club last! year. Not only were there many who iplayed on Sunday, but others drove abojut the field In carriages and watched the game. The “anti-Sunday 1 ’ campaign has been resting for a few days, and those who hold views similar to Mr. Parry’s say they do not know how actlvq" the contest for places on the directory will become. Mr. Farry Is out of the city, and at hls office It Is said he will: not return at a time much earlier than the date of the Country Club election. In the meantime, if the question which he: has stirred up has been left in the car® of persons who are friendly to hls views,' they seem to be doing little to “push It *J.>ng.“ militia Uniforms. Bids from Eight Firms Received— Reinforced Shonlders. Quartermaster-General Rlchafdson to-day received bids from eight companies for the manufacture of uniforms ifor at least one regiment of the Hidlani National Guard. The bids will not be 4>pened until next week, when the quartetimaster-gen-eral, with special assistants, Will Inspect the samples of uniforms submitted by the bidding firms and award th® contract.

The quartermaster-general hopes to have a sufficient numbex of uniform* completed to supply the companies that: shall have been mustered Into the State service and will participate on Memorial Day, May 30. There will probably be seven such companies. Three are now in the service— Battery A. and the Indianapolis Light Infantry of this city, and the companies at Terre Haute and Franfort. [ Companies at Vincennes, Evansville and Mew Albany are almost ready to be mustered in * The quartermaster-general has taken great care in preparing specifications for the uniforms and the successful bidder will be bound In a tight contract for the manufacture of the uniforms! The State will furnish the goods for the: blouses and trousers and deliver them *t the company’s factory. The uniforml are to be made according to the usual style tfith one exception—that is a 1 re-enforced shoulder, which, in the opinion of the quartermaster-general, is mad# necessary by the wear on the shoulders by the code of the manual of arms.: The quar-termaster-general has ordered a triangular strip to be placed from the top of the shoulder to a point eight inches below. He Is thinking of securing a patent on this feature of the new uniform. The*contractor who makes the uniforms will be required to make any alterations that are found to be necessary to makfe them fit

Discussion of Its Vain* atj n Meeting with the Assessor. - - I Irvington property-owners discussed the value of Irvington real estate^ at a meeting in the Town Hall of the jsuburb, last night. The meeting was called by Simeon Frazier, who will assess Irvington property this year, and who desired to ask the property-owners how he might arrive at the true cash value of their Itjits. He also submitted the questions for opinions as to whether real estate had appreciated or depreciated in Irvington within the last four years, and what influence street and sidewalk improvements had had on abutting property. It was the Impression among some of the property-owners that Irlrington lots had been appraised higher thap their cash value. An Increase in value* was noted over those of two years ago but It was thought values were about the same as those of four years ago, shov ing that In the last two years Irvingt an property had enjoyed a steady increase. It was said In the meeting that the Improve ment of Washington street had added to the value of every piece ot property In the town, and that property wtllliln a block or two of the new brick pavement was selling more easily than other propertv some distance away from thei street, ft was thought that street and fldewalk Improvements generally added to the ability to sell property, but th*t the increase In the value of the property did not always equal the cost of the improvement*.

He mad* a sale, amounting to 20 cent®, to & German woman, and after he had left she regretted her bargain, and called on her neighbor, John Wilhelm, who is not unknown In police circles, to take the flowers and follow Stein and get hqr money back. Further down the street, which is West Michigan, Stein wandered Into a candy store, looking for prospective purchasers. It was here that Wilhelm found him and demanded the 2® cents. Stein would not listen to such a suggestion, and Wilhelm then dragged him into the sidewalk and gave him whajt he called a "good cleaning." For acting in this sanitary manner Wilhelm wa* fined *10 and costs and sent to the work-house for ten days in the Police Court this morning. The case against Charles G. Ludwig, a second-hand dealer in Eai*t Washington street, arrested last night on the charge of larceny, was continued until Monday. The complaint which led to hls arrest was made by Mrs. Sarah Urmston, who formerly lived at 2307 Colleje avenue. In January she sold most of her household goods to Ludwig, but retained a tool chest and two or three tSoxes. In which was packed some silverware. These boxes, it is said, were stored in a closet,

City political discussion received impetus this morning by the announcement of the candidacy of John R. Allen, coua oilman from the Second ward, 'or mayor before the Republican convention. The Second ward is a ward of statesmen, and there are men in It. Republicans, albeit, who would be willing to succeed Mr. Allen in the Council. Three men are talked of, and one of them, F. H. Plllett, is now an announced candidate. Mr. Plllett pressed Mr. Allen for a statement as to whether he would run for mayor or for another term in the Council. Mr. Allen gave hls answer before a group of hti friends In a drug store last night. He said he would be a candidate for mayor, and authorized hi* friends to make use of the announcement He reiterated this statement to-day to all who'asked him. In speaking of bis candidacy, Mr. Allen said: "I beve no pet schemes to announce. If elected I expect to watch the city’s interests as thoroughly as I would

NEWS CARRIERS* GLORY. Pleasant Occupation of Delivering Newspapers from Bicycles. Good streets and good weather have made the occupation of the newspaper carriers & pleasant afternoon outing to those who ride bicycles, and nearly all of them are bo equipped or aire within touch

of a purchase.

The carriers mounted on wheels ar© experts. A boy with 150 to 200 papers scorns the use of the handle bars and skims along with both arms tree. No matter how crowded the streets, he thread# in and out among dashing grocery carts, lumbering Ice wagons, loads of hay and children playing tn the roadway, with delightful carelessness and a relish of recklessness in seeing how near he can cut to the tilings In the street without actually

striking them.

Hls approach as his patrons see him afar off coming up the street, is each day a Jriumph. He is welcomed as the bearer of great tidings from the outside world; as one who brings report from Manila of events fourteen hours before they happen,

according to American clocks

He manages his steely steed with the abandon of a rough rider charging upon the foe. He twists a dozen or more papers into long, tight cylinders and sticks them about his waist and in his pockets, like cartridges As he sails past a house he fires one of these cylinders at a faraway porch with a precision that would do credit to a sharpshooter. The paper never fails to hit centeil, and It often comes with such force that when it strikes the dwellers in the house are startled for a moment. Ih^king that an earthquake is knocking at the threshold. Then the combined cyclone and thunder-

bolt passes on.

O' '■f——— PROHIBITION PARTY. Meeting’ to Pash Its Work with More Vigor la Indiana. The Prohibition party will hold a State conference here May 16 and 16. The call is for a meeting of the State committee, the district evangelists an|d chairmen of county committees. It is anonunced that the meeting is for the purpose of planning to push the work of the party with

more vigor.

New methods of organization and education are being adopted by the party, and the officers of the State committee say-there never was a tlme ; before when th party displayed so much aggressiveness in this State. Recently district evangelists were appointed—one for each congressional district. In two Instances, only, are the district evangelist and the district committeeman identical. Under Instructions from the State committee these evangelists are employed exclusively in holding meetings, organizing clubs, soliciting subscriptions for prohibition papers and doing other work that will help along the cause. The officers of the State committee say that good results of the new methods are already apparent. — o———— ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW.

A Snccess ia Vartans Ways — Tl Close To -Night. ' All the teachers and others interested in the exhibit of arts and crafts are congratulating themselves on the success that has been achieved both esthetlcaUy and pecuniarily. The exhibit will close to-night with more than 8300 received at the door for admissions, while each of the 15.800 pupils that attended added 10 cents to the treasury.

It is estimated that the exhibit will clear nearly *1,200. To-night there will be a general reception. T. C. Day will deliver an address on behalf of the Educational Society, and Superintendent Goes will speak of the rise and progress of the arts and craft movement in Indianapolis. MaJ. H. I. Raymond Passed Through. The regimental officers of the Thirteenth United States Infantry were with the second detachment of the regiment which passed through thl* city late yesterday afternoon on the way to Manila. Among the officers wa# MaJ. Ji. I. Raymond, surgeon of the regiment, who wa# formerly a resident of this city. He is the son of the Rev. Charles «. Raymond, who kra# at one time pastor of the Seventh Presbyterian church. He married here. Many of his relatives. Including C. V. Raymond, a brother from Dayton. O., met the detach ment here to say good-bye to the major. -o i Found Large Box of Shoes. The thlrteen-year-old eon of John Wilhelm, who live# In Haughvllle, yesterday afternoon found a large box in the gravel nit between the I., D. A W. and the Big Four tracks. Without stopping to investigate, he hurried home and told hi# mother, and the two went to the place and carried the box to their home. * In it were thirty-six pairs of fine tan shoes for women. Mrs. Wilhelm I c.tlfled the police, and the ihoes were afterward identified as belonging to the I.. D. A W. Railway Company. It is thought they were stolen from a car by some one, who was frightened away without hls booty.

my own. If I am to be the Republican candidate, It will be upon my record a* councilman from the Second ward for nearly eight year* and on the career of a business man. I have always been a Republican, actively #o, although I have not been in the sense of a politician." “There axe many who look on your candidacy as responsive to the antagonism to th* settlement of the street railway question. Is this one of the influ-

ences inducing you to run?"

“The settlement of the street railway question has this to do with my candidacy: I voted against the street railway settlement as I would against any hurried legislation. I feel that Indianapolis lias had enough hurried legislation. For example: Some years ago there was an ordinance passed granting the Citizens’ Street Railway Company some additional privileges; on the other hand, the Citizens’ Street Railway Company was to undertake to improve between its tracks. This was clearly the understanding, but the ordinance, instead of showing the word ‘improve,’

showed the word ‘repair.’

Result of Careless Wording. "There is no question but what the

street car company understood fully that the Intent of the ordinance was that Jt (the Citizens' Street Railway Company) was to improve between the tracks, since, as a matter of fact, it did improve between the tracks as long as the Improvement consisted of cheap material, but as soon as th# expensive material was used for pavement It fell back on the flaw in the ordinance and took the matter into court, and the court decided that all the company had to do was to repair, and not Improve, between the tracks, which cost the citizens several hundred- thousand dollars, and which was clearly the fault of hurried

and not careful legislation.

“I wanted to treat the contract with the new street railway company in the Council as I would a contract in my private business. I wanted time to read it word for word and study u* full meaning. I was, and am still, tor as cheap fares as could be granted consistent with good service and fair returns on the company's actual Investment, and which would enable them to pay fair wages to their employes. There are many people who honestly believe that the company, could do all this on a 3-cent fare, and 7 feel that this should have beep at least investigated, and that the company making the claim that It could not afford to operate on a 3-cent fare, ought to have given opportunity to investigate their Claims." * ^. liat p,an of campaign will you pur"1 have made no plan of campaign aa yet,*I have been a busy man all my life, and I shall, I hope, continue to be. My announcement Is made because it will remove doubt in the minds of many of my

frlonda."

Besides Mr. Flliett, J. /. Billingsley and R. H. Adams are talked ot as candidates for Council in the Second ward to suc-

ceed Mr. Allen.

Mr. Alien, was first elected in 1W1. He has not been opposed for the non.ination since then except two years ago, when It required an effort to defeat R. H. Adams. Mr. Alien is sixty years old and was born in Bhelby county. He Is proprietor of the Sensitive Governor Company and the Allen bicycle-works. He lives at College avenue and Seventeenth street. He was the only member of the City Council who voted against the street railway

settlemant.

Before Mr. Allen announced bis candidacy he visited (‘harks E. Thornton, who also lives in the Second ward. There bad been talk of Mr. Thornton as a candidate for mayor. Mr. Allan asked Mr. Thornton if he Intended to seek the nomination. Mr. Thornton assured Mr. Allen that if Allen would ba a candidate that he would not permit his Own name to be used, but would support Mr. Allen. H. 8. New Positively Decline# to Rnn. While the politicians were discussing Mr. Allen’s announcement there came another announcement. This was that Harry B. New, who had been considered the moat probable candidate for mayor, refused to permit the q®e of his name, and declined to be a candidate. This statement caifsed many of the undetermined ones to swing Into the Allen camp, it is asserted. Mr. New said to-

‘day:

“I am not and have not been a candidate for the office of mayor. 1 haven’t the slightest suspicion that I could ever be induced to become a candidate tor that office or any other. I have been visited by hundreds of people, to all of whom I have •aid the same thing. I am annreciative of the efforts and good Intentions of mv political friends, and know they mean well, but’there are many reasons why I should not be a candidate that are too great to be outweighed." Mr. New’s friends received the announcement as though R was something they had been trying to dodge. “We know,” said on# of them, "that he felt that way, but we thought w® could drive him Into th® fight If a Republican ever had a cinch for the nomination for office Harry New has it now. If he’ll Just say the word.” Slate-makers are busy. They announce that a certain Republican element has selected J. C. Perry, wholesale grocer, a* a candidate. It is announced that Mr. Perry is not a candidate and does not wish to run and will not content to it, but the ••element" has selected him nnd propose# Joha-HliV
