BER 1902, “COLONIZATION IS A CHIMERICAL DREAM” Senator Tillman Declazes Plan to Transport Negroes fo Our Far Eastern Pos sessions Is Impzacticable. South Carolinian Believes Expense Would Be Enor mous and the People Taxed fo Point of Oppuession. x e—— 3

Senator Morgan Enfertains Hope of Interesting Presi dent, Wat Department and Congress in Scheme.

Nan “It seems we can never get beyond the penetrating stink of this ‘Lily White’ and ‘Black and Tan’ business,” said Sen ator Tillman this morning when he read Senator Morgan's plan of utilizing the Philippines for colonizing the negro. To “It is continually popping up in one form or anow:er. First it is giving the negro his rights, then it is eliminating him from politics, with the educationai question. and colonization schemes fol lowing close in the rear. “I tell you none of these plans will ever succeed, that is, from the humani tarian point of view, and the American people will insist upon that being taken under consideration. Now, say that the negroes are taken to the Philippines, There will be the cost of transporta tion to the Pacific Ocean, of the ocean voyage, of the preparation of some tem porary habitation until they are able to provide for themselves, and feeding them until they raise, harvest, and market their first crop. An Enormous Expense. “If this is all the Government intends to do for them, why the item of expense would be something enormous. It would be necessary to tax the people to the

point of oppression. No, sir; all such plans are chimerical dreams of the wild packers “ex “Now just suppose such a plan is put into practice by the Government. Possi bly with burrabs, camp-meeting fervor, and promises of paradise, 2.000,000 people might be induced to go to the islands, but then you would have 7,000,000 left. The removal of 2,000,000 negroes fs not going to solve the problem, The race breeds so fast that the 2,000,000 gap would be filled in no time, and you still nave that great expense on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. “It’s too much like the ‘forty-acre and mule’ scheme that was suggested at the close of the war. Most of the plans are suggested, I believe, ag the result of speeches by negroes who have acquired some education and the gift of gab, like Thomas Fortune, for instance, a blow hard who goes around lecturing in ‘a high-falutin way. Why he has even made talks advising the negroes to arm and assert themselves.” Senator Morgan's Plans. Senator Morgan entertains hopes of in teresting President Roosevelt and the War Department in the plan to have all of the negroes in the United States trans ported to the Philippine Islands, where they may start a colony of their own. It is sald that as a result of Senator Mor gan's agitation on this subject the President sent a special envoy, Thomas Fortune, a negro, to the Philippines to look over the islands and make an in vestigation as to conditions, Senator Morgan has consulted Sec retary Root and Governor Taft several times, and is doing everything possible to further the project. Senator Morgan now purposes io Continnsed Aan KRecand Pama WEATHER CONDITIONS. The southwestern storm, a‘ter reach ing the mouth of the Ohio River turned sharply to the northward, and is central this morning over the Michigan penin sula with a considerable increase in in tensity. The rain and snow attendant upon this storm have reached the Atlan tic. coast, and continue in the interior, except in the slope region and the south west, where the weather has cleared. It is decidedly warmer in the Atlantic States and lower lake region with temp eratures from 5 degrees to 20 de grees above the seasonal average, There will be rain tonight on the south Atlantic coast. In the East and South the weather will be generally fair to night and Wednesday. It will be colder tonight in the South Atlantic States with frost or freezing temperatures over the East Gulf States, and colder Wednesday in the lower lake region and the Atlantic States. On the middle Atlantic coast winds will be brisk south to west. Storm warning are displayed on the Atlantic coast from Sandy Hook to East port, and on the Great Lakes. Steamers departing today for European ports will have brisk to high south to west winds and rain to the Grand Banks.

NO INDICATIONS OF SNOW “The rain in Washington and farther north will cease tonight and there will be fair weather with drop of about degrees in temperature. There are no indications of snow whatever around this city at least.” This was the statement made by the ‘Weather Bureau officials this morning. Within the past twenty-four hours rain and snow have fallen in almost every State east of the Mississippi River. About half an inch of rain fell in Washington, and although the clouds ‘hung low and looked forboding, the weather man declared that there would be no snow here for a day or two, any how, 3 The rain which began to fall yesterday afternoon was not heavy, but it was an incessant one. Late yesterday afterncen and last night a thin layer of ice form ed on the streets and made walking dan gerous. A number of people feil and received slight injuries, but no serious accidents were reported. The tempera ture in Washington has been about 45 degrees all day. It is said that there will be a fall of about 10 or more degrees in the temperature by tomorrow mo.n ing, and that the mercury will daace between the freezing point and 15 Jde grees above zero. Although the storm is not severe ia Washington. in cities farther north it is doing a great deal of Gamage. Rain has fallen harder and longer in Mary land, Pennsylvania, and New York, and in the mountainous sections of these States heavy snows have occurred. Tele graphic communication between Wagh ington and some of the large Northern cities has been retarded because of the rain and accumulation of sleet. local telephone users were put.to great ineon venience throughout the day.

Grant Thursday morning, no arrangements for the burial of his mother, Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, will be made, So overcome with grief are the rela tives of the deceased they have con sidered no plans whatever, except to an nounce the interment at the side of the husband in the tomb on Riverside Drive, New York. In fact, the hundreds of messages received from friends and ae quaintances over the country have re mained unopened. Gen, Fred D. Grant is now speeding homeward as rapidly as the train will carry him. Before he received the news of his mother's death, Adjutant General Corbin wired him a leave of absence, thus foregoing the delay necessary for such permission. Jesse and Ulysses B., jr., who left California wil! arrive here Thursday evening. The members of the family at home, Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris and Miss Rosemary Sartorie, are not seen except by intimate friends. Callers and mes sages are received by friends looking after the household in the long wait for the sons of Mrs. Grant. Secretary of State and Mrs. Hay called last night, as did a number of the Cabinet and members of the diplomatic corps. Floral remembrances were sent by Mrs. John R. McLean, Mrs. Stephen B.

Gen. Fred D. Grant Speed ing Here From Texas. FUEL FAMINE: RELIEVED BY RECEIPT OF GOAL WASHINGTON, Many Cars Unloaded and Delivered This Morning. ADDITIONAL TRACKS USED Rumored That Reading Company Will in Future Sell Product to Highest Bidder. It was reported in well informed cir cles toda; that the Reading Coal and Iron Company will shortly announce the abandonment of their effort to keep the price of coal down, and rheir coal will hereafter be sold to the highest bidder. At the offices of the company in this city, knowledge of any contemplated change in prices was denied. Mr. Lounsbury, the agent, was out of the city. He was summoned to Philadel phia this morning, and is not expected to return until tomorrow. The receipts of coal, the clerk in charge said, were normal this morning, but he did net know the exact number of cars reported in. There was a more general distribution of coal in the city today than has been possible up to the present time. Prac tically every car of coal within twenty miles of the city was brought in, and is being unloaded as rapidly as men aod carts can haul it away. Before daylight a gang of section men were at work along the tracks of the Pennsylvania system on Maryland ani Virginia Avenues removing the fence that has heretofore inclosed tbe tracks. As rapidly as this was accomplished the loaded cars were placed on the outside trarks and inninadine hooan Many Cars in Position. There were probably 150 cars of coal in position by 8B o'clock. Fully 100 of these cars were loaded with bituminous coal from along the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. There are no anthracite mines ‘along that line. There were also many cars from the independent operators of Pennsylvania among those placed, and if it is possible to obtain the teams every ton of coal that is on the rails will be unloaded as soon as it reaches Wash ington. Another Advance in Price. _ The increase in the price of coal from the independent operators is already be ing felt here. Yesterday an advance to $10.50 on the rails in this city was an nounced and this morning tige prevailing price for premium coal was $12 a ton. A limited supply of Reading coal is still available at $7.25 a ton, but it is prac tically impossible to obtain a pound of it as orders for it for weeks ahead are al ready in. The advance in the price of soft coal, as announced yesterday by the mine operators along the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to $6.10 on the rails in this city, has caused a cor responding advance in the retail price. This morning the prevailing quotation was $8. i Prescriptions for Coal. An amusing feature of the situation developed today when in response to re peated tales of sickness and death one of the dealers adopted a rule that in such inetances a ton of coal would only be delivered upon the presentation of a physician's certificate. The idea of a prescription of a ton of coal was some what novel, but the dealer was quickly relieved of many troublesome impor tuners. LAST RITES PERFORMED FOR CORNELIUS D. KENNY Cardinal Gibbons Attends Funeral of Deceased Tea and Coffee Merchant. BALTIMORE, Dec. 16.—The funeral of Cornelius DD. Kenny, the tea and coffee merchant, took place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the Cathedral, which was crowded with friends and acquaint ‘ances. The clergy and religious orders were largely represented. Cardinal Gibbons occupied his throne throughout the services, and Bishop \1 fred A. Curtis was also in the sanctuary, After reciting the prayers for the dead Father Russell paid a tribute to Mr. Kenny's life and character, The active pallbearers were the (ol lowing employes of the C. D. Kenny Company: P. J. Kavdnagh, George Heb ner, John Lansdale, John Schlisler, J. Edward Custy, M. E. Swing, John Hart man, and A. W. Creecy. The honorary pallbearers were James Clark, president of the Drovers and Me chanics’ Bank; Michael A. Mullin, Ham mond Dugan, Rufus Woods, Frederick B. Beacham, J. Fron Dammann, Colum bus Shriver, and Dr. Thomas McCra. The funeral was in Bonnie Brae Ceme tery. The funeral was attended bygmany of the employes of the C. D. Kenny Com pany. There were also twelve Sisters of Charity present. Mr, Kenny's sister is a member of that order. The music, which was Gregorian, was “eared bw the Cathedral choir.

Tasker H. Bliss. TO GO BEFORE SENATE Instrument Said to Provide for 20 Per Cent. Reduction on Cer tain Articles. The Cuban reciprocity commercial treaty which was signed In Havana last Thursday was this merning handed to Secretary of State Hay by Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, U. 8. A., who was instrumental in obtaining the approval of Cuba to the treaty. General Bliss, when seen by a repre sentative of The Times, was not willing to make any definite statement as to the details of the treaty, but it is known that it is practically the same as former ly objected to by Cuba when the ne gotiations were being conducted in this city between the Cuban minister to the United Stotes and Secretary Hay. “I had t>» work extremely hard,” “en ‘eral Bliss said today, “In getting the sig ‘natures of the Cuban officials to the treaty, but finally persuaded the secre tary of state and the secretary of the treasury of Cuba to sign for their gov ‘ernment. “The agreement can be put in force at once without further action iu this city by Minister Quesada. The State e partment officials think the matter has been settled as far as obtaining the ap proval of Cuba is concerned, and the next step will be action on the part of the United States Senate. “The instrument provides for certain reductions on the goods of both countries involved.” As the treaty has not yet been sub mitted to the Senate, it would not be courtesy for the State Department to make public its details. It is known, however, that generally speaking, it may be said to provide for a 20 per cent re duction on the tariff charges on Cuban products entering the United States and a similar reduction on American goods going to Cuba APPEALS FOR MONEY 10 FIGHT THE TRUSTS Mr. Hepburn Argues in Be half of His Bill. Representative Hepburn appeared be fore the subcommittee on anti-trust leg isiation of the House Judiciary Commit tee this morning In regard to his bill providing for the appropriation of $500, 000 to enable the Atedrney General to conduct hig prosecutions under the Sher. man act. Mr. Hepburn said he believed there was sufficient legislation at present to curb the evil tendencies of the trusts, and the problem was to secure evidence. To do this money was required by the Attorney General, it was almost impossible, Mr. Hepbura said, to secure such evidence and it was usually only whenethe partis to a cor poration agreement fell out that the At torney General was able to gather testi mony which could be used. He cited the operations of the meat trust, also various violationg of the interstate com merce laws, to support his contention. Mr. Overstreet, of the committee, asked Mr. Hepburn if he considered the appropriation a continuous remedy, to which he replied that it was not, but was merely designed to relieve the pres ent emergency. Mr. Hepburn said he had supposed the only way tp reach trusts was through the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution or by taxation. He sald he knew there would be objections to put ting in the hands of any officer a large sum of money, and for that reason in his bill he had inserted limitations. COLONEL MOSBY HERE FOR A SHORT STAY Will Return to Nebraska in Short Time to Prosecute Land Cases. Col. John 8. Mosby, special agent of the Intreior Department, who has been investigating land frauds in Nebraska, arrived in Washington last night and will remain here several days attending to matters in the office of the land claims office. He bas not been recalled, but com pleted his wrok before the grand juries and will return to Nebraska the latter part of the week. It is announced at the Interior Department this morning that violations regarding fences on public lands will be vigorously prosecuted, and Colonel Mosby will continue the work of securin gevidence and pushing prosecu tions.

UR. ERAN GONFERS WITH SECRETARY HAY Empowered to Continue Canal Negotiations. SITUATION IS PROMISING Charge d’Affaires of Colombian Lega tion Vested by His Government With Full Authority to Act. Dr Herran, charge d'affaires of the Colombian legation, had a short confers ence with Secretary Hay this morning regarding the continuance of negotia tions with this country for a canal treaty. Dr. Ferran explained to a Wash ington Times reporter that the Colom bian goverpment has empowered him to continue the negotiations. The Colom ‘bian government informed Minister Hart ‘at Bogota of Mr. Herran’s authority, and this information was communicated :o Secretary Hay. “Negotiations are now in progress,” ‘said Mr. Herran, ‘“‘and pending their conclusion I cannot talk about the eit uation, but it looks very promising.” Concha Returning. Dr. Herran volunteered ‘he informa tion that Mr. Concha is returning ta Co lombia, having sailed on the Altic from New York Saturday. The fact that Mr. Concha has left this country for Co lombia, together with the knowledge that Dr. Herran has been authorized to proceed with the canal negotiations, is accepted here as a sure indicotion that the Colombian minister has been recall ed, and that in the near futur~ Dr. Herran will be announced as his succes sor. Speaking of the report that Colombia and Nicaragua are on the verge of war, he said: “That cannot be, because Colombia has withdrawn 6,000 troops from the isthmus to the interior, and she would never do that if war with Niearagua threatened. besides the army is being reduced, and has already been cut down from nearly 100,000 to 50,000. certainly have had no reports from Colombia in dicating any probable trouble with Nic aragua.” TRAFFIC MAN EXPLAINS FREIGHT RATE ADVANCE G. J. Grammer Tells Interstate Commerce Commission That Cost of Maintenance Has Increased. The reasons for the increase of freight rates by the various railroads through out the country were explained at an inquiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the rooms of the com mission this morning. The chief cause was attributed to the fact that the expense of maintaining railroads had advanced to such an ex tent recently that the companies were forced to increase the rates in order to conduct their business. This testi mony was given by G. J. Grammer, freight trafic manager of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, who also spoke for the other representatives present. Mr. Grammer further said that he thought there was more reason for an increase in rates than ever before in the history of the country. He pointed out that the shipments of grain and other crops had been abnormal, and that the prices for the, products were also ab normal. In view of this and the fact that the cost of maintenance was so much greater, he contended that there was just csuse for the advance in rates. The commissioners who heard testi mony were Judge Knapp, chairman; Judge Youman, Charles A. Prouty, and Joseph Fifer. A number of railroads were represented. The hearing was begun at 10 o'cleck. Judge Knapp in opening the conference gaid that the representatives had been summoned to furnish information con cerning the circumstances and reasons which prompted the increase in freight rates. “The general situation,” said he, “is this: For the past two or three years the freight rates of railroads have been showing a tendency to increase, accom-, panied by an increase in the volume of business. In that time the volume of trafic has been greater, and from re ports furnished us we believe that rail road operations are prosperous. “The increase in itself is enough to cause public comment. While it is the duty of the commission to make this investigation, it is also the duty of rail roads to make any disclosures that may throw light upen the subject.” John T. Dye, representing the “Big Four,” then proposed that Mr. Gram mer be permitted to act fer all the representatives. This was accepted. After administering the oath to Mr. Grammer, Judge Knapp said: “It is the desire of the commission that you answer in a general way the ANOTHER MOVE IN BEEF TRUST FIGHT Hearing on Demurrer Filed by Packers. ARGUING CASE IN COURT Packers, if They Lose Issue, to Carry Case Higher—Points of Law Involved, CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-—Another move in the fight of the packers against the temporary injunction secured by the United States prohibiting them from combining in restraint of trade and from uniting tc manipulate prices of cattle and dressed beef, was begun today in Judge Grosscup’s court. 2 Arguments were heard on the demur rer filled by the packers to the bill of injunction submitted by the Government in May. Poicts of law are chiefly in volved, and the evidence against the packers will not be brought out at this hearing. If the demurrer is overruled, it is probable that the attorneys for the packers will fail to answer the bill, and will allow a decree to be entered against them. This would give them an opportunity to appeal the case, and carry it up to the United States Court of Appeals for a hearing of the evi dence, and for the realgcontest on the basis of the Sherman anti-trust law. Should the demurrer be sustained the Government would have an opportunity to amend the facts. PACKERS’ BUSINESS CUT BY NEW GERMAN TARIFF CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—The Chicago pack ers will lose over $4,000 000 annually as a result of the new German tariff if the estimate of William C. Evans, foreign agent of Armour Co., is correct. Evans looks for a reduction of 25 per cent in the export business. At the Cer man consulate figures were obtained showing ‘hat the, ts to Germany for ten hic year have been 150,545,976 Jonnds valued at $14. 429,572. The tariff will affect *all classes of meats and meat products with the sin gle exception of fresh meat. two questions, the circumstances thar led to this increase, and the reasons for it Mr. Grammer said: “As a traffic man, I have been con fronted all the year with the statement of the accounting officers that the in crease in expenses exceeded the advance in earnings, and we all came to the con clusion that it was necessary that some thing should be done. The only thing that a railroad has to sell is its trans portation, while on the other hand we have everything to buy.” Numerous questions concerning the operations of railroads were put to Mr. Grammer. The Commissioners inquired closely into the prosperity of railroads throughout the country, and were told that the public had an “inflated” idea concerning the earnings of these corpor ations. NO INQUIRY BY SENATE IN SOUTH AMERICAN DISPUTE Until there is some move on the part of Germany or England in the Venezne ian affair that indicates an intention on the part of the powers to acquire territory of the South American re public, there will be no official inquiry on the part of the United States Sen ate as to effect of the blockading af the ports of that country upon the Mon roe Doctrine. It Is true that several Democra ic members have seriously considered in troducing a resolution requesting the Secretary of State to furnish the Sen ate with information in relation to the movement of the powers to collect the debts due subjects of the European countries named, it is said the Senators asking for the inquiry have agreed to wait until the situation is more serious than at present. Members of the Foreign Relations Committee, who have made an examina tion of the status of the operations of the powers, declare there exists no im mediate cause for alarm. However, should there be further hostile action which results in the destruction of life and property, it is said, that a resolu tion of the character suggested. would be offered by the Democratic members. and find some support on the Republican side. Arthur L. Haislip, a young man, plead ed guilty in Judge Kimball's court today to two charges of passing fraudulent checks. He was sentenced to imprison ment for six months or a fine of $50 in each case. HAISLIP SENTENCED. Likely That Strong Force: Will Spend Christmas Hol iday Season From Decem~ ber 19 to 29 at Trinidad. A chamge has been made in the ar= rangements of the Navy Departinent to provide tor a distribution of the ships of Admiral Dewey's West Indian fleet during the Christmas recreation period. This change may be regarded as having a significant bearing on the Venezuelan situation, The understanding that Admiral Dewey would determine the program of distribution for the holidays will not be carried into effect, the department hav= ing decided to a@irect the distribution ite self. It was learned at the department to day that a telegram would be sent to Admiral Dewey in the next few days telling him where to send each con tingent of his fleet for the holiday pe. riod. Truth in Reports. This indicates that there is truth in the reports that the Administration is considering the advisability of sending war vessels to Venezuela or its vicinity. From whai =c 1aiica, however, it is not probable tha: a squadron will be sent to La Guaira, as that might cause friction with Germany and Eng land, but it is likely that a strong force will be ordered to spend the holiday sea sou. which will extend from December i9 to December 29, at Trinidad or some cther place within short sailing distance of the Venezuela coast. CABINET DISCUSSES VENEZUELAN TROUBLE All interest ‘ere today in the Vene zuelan situation centers in the mwecting which assembled at 11 o'clock. Secretary Hay went to the executive office with a porticlis full of papers concerning the condition of affairs in the perturbed republic. In spite of the feeling here that the allies have gome too far in their coercive measures against Venezuela, the cpinion prevails ic official circles that the President and his advisers will decide at today's conference that no occasion has yeti arisen for the im terposition of this Government. The President: is understood to be of that opinion, but as some of his ad visers are inclined to think that Ger many and England should be asked to explain certain operations by their na val forces, in apparent violation of the assurances given to the United Stateg as to the character and scope of the co. ercion to be applied, he may be per suaded to take some action. it seems to be assured, however, that should he authorize the sending of rep resentations to Berlin and London, the eptering wedge will be a mild form of inquiry. The interference of the United Siates is regarded as a delicate matter that must be undertaken with the greatest caution, and so managed as not io give offense to Germany and England, if such a thing is possivie. The States Department is without news from Venezuela today. The latest dispatches from Minister Bowen came yesterday morning. BRITISH CONSTRUCTING REDOUBTS IN SAN FELICO PARIS, Dec. 16.—A dispatch to the “Matin” from Caracas of yesterday's date says the British are constructing redoubis in San Felico. All is quiet at La Guaira. The troops have been with drawn from the town and posted in tha surreunding mountains. The newspapers of Caracas continu print violent attacks on the British Germans. x Most of the political prisoners wo were released at Puerto Cabello ha gone to Curacae to rejoin the revoli tionary commander, General Matos, ir stead of rallying to the defense of the country as was expected. THE ITALIAN MINISTER WITHDRAWN FROM VENEZUELA The Italian ambassador called en Sec retary Hay this afternoon and gave no tice of tae intention of his government to join Germany and England in coercive measures against Venezuela, and to as sure the United States that Italy would do nothing centrary to the principle of the Monroe Doctrine, The ambassador also told Mr. Hay that the Italian diplomatic representa= tive in Caracas would withdraw, and he requested that Minister Bowen be place ed in charge of Italy's interests. Mr. Hay promised to instruct te effect, on condition that the Ve government would recognize him ag Italy's representative, New Orders From Navy De partment Seem to Have a Most Significant Bearing on South American Situa tion. Not Probable That Squadron Will Be Sent Direct to La Guaira for Fear of Friction With the Euro pean Powers.

GRUSKED UNDER FALLEN ROOF OF ROUNDHOUSE Twenty Men and 17 Locomo tives Buried in Ruins. LIVES SAVED BY MIRACLE Fallen Girders Caught on Big Engines, Averting Death of Unfor- tunate Workmen. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 18.—By the collapse late yesterday afternoon of halt the roof of the big roundhouse of the Pennsylvania Railroad just east of Powelton Avenue station, twenty men were injured, seventeen locomotives buried in the debris and temporarily disabled, and the suburban passenger service of the company badly crippled. The collapse came without warning, and that some of the fifty or more men working in and about the roundhouse were not killed dy the falling iron beams and rafters was little short of a miracle. AME Es VI dgWMIETRN a a8 VATE. E. FITZGERALD, lacerated wound of scalp. G. GEIRLL, lacerated wound of scalp and contused shoulder. 8. McCANN, lacerated wound of scalp. A.

With the exception of Thompson and Sofka at the University Hospital. and Toland and Brennan at the Presbyterian Hospital, all of the injured were able to £0 to their homes after having their in Juries dressed. The injuries of these still remaining are not looked upon as serious. Saved by the Locomotives. That none of the men were killed is due to the fact that the seventeen loco motives standing in the collapsed por tion of the roundhouse caught the beams and rafters of the falling roof and pre vented them from crushing the men. The collapse, according to some of those who witnessed it, started about the fourth stall to the east of the north ern entrance to the roundhouse and traveled around the eastern side of the Weliia nearly 10, the southern en A big Baldwin freight engine brig second stall east of the northern entrance practically stopped the col lapse from extending farther westward, by partially holding up the fallen roof. The fall of the roof was accompanied by a loud crunching noise, which brought hundreds of men from the surrounding shops and yards, who, as they gazed upon the ruins, expected to find that the majority of those in the roundhouse had been killed. Ambulance and patrol calls were promptly sent out and the work of rescues was begun. As the dust lifted a number of men with begrimed faces and blood flowing from cuts and bruises were seen crawling out of the ruins, and bu’ few required actual as sistance to extricate themselves. All were hurried to the hospitals, with the exception of one or two men, who re mained belilnd to see that their com rades were all taken out and to assist in the work of rescue, and then walked to the hospital and had their injuries dressed. y Victims Were Baldwin Employes. The roundhouse, which was erected about forty years ago, and had accom modations for forty locomotives, was used principally for making minor re pairs to engines between runs. Most of the men injured were PRaldwin em ployes, that firm having of late kept a gang of about fifteen men constantly at the place, while four men additional were sent over yesterday to make some slight changes to two big freight engines which wera recently turned out of the shops and were lodged temporarily in the roundhouse. The cause of the collapse has not yet been deflunitely located, but several theories were advanced by the workmen and officials. A portion of the roof which collapsed yesterday fell about seven years ago. The heavy coating of fice and snow which had, however, all melted when the accident occurred, is supposed to have weakened the roof, and that the final collapse was brought about by the shocks from the heavy blasting in the subway at Powelton Ave nue, or by the concussion caused by the sudden and heavy escape of steam from the exhaust pipe of one of the bie locomotives. The damage to the locomotives con sists principally in crushed cabs and broken pipes and headlights, and the majority of them could probably have been operated under their own steam Most of them are passenger locomotives. and the loss badly crippled jhe subur ban service and caused delays to some trains and the annulment of others.

The house is afire!” Through the door roiled a volume of dense smoke, and Miss Bingham leaped with one graceful bound to the window and prepared to jump. But affection is stronger than fear, and the actress thought first of Fido, her faithful terrier. ‘Snatching up the terrified and bairy ani WOMAN SHOT BY HER PROWLING LODGER Assailant Dumped Into Street From Ambulance.

The hose artists had dragged a huge coil of rubk into the hall, where it spouted Niagairas, while the firemen dashed down to djscover the origin of a volume of smoke which rolled up from below. Two trembling butlers, a chef, an assistant cook, and an army of house maids were found in various stages of hysteria and, outside the door, a pan of blazing fat and a kitchen chair rapidly becoming ashes sputtered in the snow.

LOVE LETTER BETRAYS MAKER OF BAD MONEY Hoffman Arrested as He Went to Get Missive. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.—After elud ing capture for many weeks, J. C. Hoff man, alias Parnell, Knight. and Smith, who is wanted by the United States au thorities to answer a charge of counter feiting, relaxed his caution through fidelity to a girl yesterday, and was ar rested at Sixth Street and Girard Avenue by, Secret Service Operatives Matthew Griffin and George Burns. Hoffman, who is best known as Par nell, Is charged with being the partner of William Hummel, alias John Adams, who was convicted of counterfeiting in ‘the United States court last week. Ad ams was arrested in Ashland, Pa., on November 14. yg He and Parnell are declared to have flooded the lower section of the anthra cite coal fields with counterfeit silver ‘dollars, which easily passed among the foreign element in that region. When Adams was arrested the operatives found a complete coining outfit at their headquarters in a hotel in Tamaqua. Parnell, who has been arrested on three previous occasions for similar of fenses, eluded the operatives. and for five ‘weeks they have trailed him throughout the State. They discovered that he was paying court to a girl living in Lancaster county. A watch was set upon her and she was followed to the postoffice. She was found to be in correspondence with her admirer, and when she finally sent a letter to him addressed to the Eagle Hotel, Sixth Street and Girard Avenue, Operatives Griffin and Burns kept vigil over the place. From Friday ‘until yesterday there was never a mo ment when the hotel office was not un der surveillance. The operatives, who knew well the value of the axiom, “find the woman," scarcely permitted their eyes to move away from the letter box at the hotel. Their watch ended when Hoffman ap peared to receive the letter he knew must be awaiting him. When he Lad read the missive the op eratives took him into custody and es corted him to the United States mar shal's office, where he was turned over to Deputy Marshal Helms and removed to the county prison. As he was indicted in the United States court at the time of Adams’ arrest, Par nell was given no preliminary hearing. CADET'S GOOD REASONS FOR SUBORDINATION Refuses to Join Virginia Military Insti tute Recalcitrants in Their Recent Outbreak. LEXINGTON, Va., Dec. 16.—One young cadet before the recent outbreak at the Virginia Military Institute by the third class displayed commendable qualities by refusing to join his comrades in their erratic breach of discipline last Tuesday night. He was Importuned to join his com rades and was presented with the paper for his signature, but refused to sign ft. His reason as stated, and now re lated, was that his parents had sent him to the school at a great pecuniary sacrifice to themselves and that the board of visitors had given kim a State cadet appointmsent, and if he engaged in such an outbreak it would not he doing justice to the confidence imposed in him by his parents or the authorities of the school, and he declined most nositively to join with them.

FOWLER ON BRANGH BANK SYSTEM Representative Talks to Cap italists at Hotel Barton. EQUAL RATE OF INTEREST Speaker Says Passage of His Measure Would Result in Elasticity of Currency. Representative Charles N. Fowler of New Jersey last evening addressed the Bankers’ Association of the District of Columbia at the Hotel Barton regarding the betterment of the country's bank ing laws. Representative Fowler has embodied his ideas in a measure which he re cently introduced in Congress, providing for the establishment of branch banks. It was in support of this measure that ‘he directed his arguments last evening Meeting Well Attended. The meeting was well attended by the local bankers despite the inclement weather. President Frederick C. Stevens of the Banker's Association called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock, and presided throughout the session. It was announced that the annual ban quet of the association will be held in January or February, and due notice will be given all members. At the con clusion of the meeting a light buffet luncheon was served. Mr. Fowler contemplates the estab lishment of branch banks throughout the country under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comp troller of the Currency. The gold stand ard should be maintained, he said, and the $600,000,000 of Treasury notes grad ually retired. This retirement should be accomplished in the course of a num ber of years, so as not to disturb con ditions without affording the opportunity for the business of the country to ac commodaate itself to the change. Branch Bank System. “A system of branch banks,” the speaker continued, “would not only tend to maintain an equal rate of interest throughout the country but would ma terially reduce the prevailing rate of interest, as capital could be sent where it was most wanted, an’ could be kept engaged at all times. I'rovision is made in the bill for a variation in interest in different parts of the country of only a sufficient amount to cover the cost of moving the specie. It is only when the rate of interest in this country is on a par with the 2% and 3 per cent of Germany, England, and France that we can properly compete with those countries in the financial affairs of the world. “We don't use our money to ad vantage, ‘because we don’t use it all the time and in all the places where it is needed. Under the plan of branch banks we would do this. The system is in successful operation in Canada, Eugland, France, Germany, and other countries. These banks effect an enormous saving in the way of expenses in the banking business, the combination principle be ing applied.” Parker Takes Issue. In response to Representative Fowler, E. 8. Parker made 2 short address In which he took issue with the proposition of branch banks, and expressed himself in favor of free banks, with an asset currency based on their assets. The evening was an enjoyable one, end following the remarks of the two speakers of the evening a general dis cussion of the proposed innovations in the banking business was indulged in. A SOUTHERN OFFICE WITHOUT “LILY WHITE” COMPLICATION President Roosevelt today had the unique experience of having brought to his attention a North Carolina post mastership case into the consideration of which the “Lily White" question does not enter.

DIED. A] SPANISH TREATY MAY SOON BE RATIFIED Action Expected Before the Christmas Holidays. The new treaty with Spain will prob ably be taken up in the Senate within a few days, and if opporiunMy offers an effort will be made to ratify the conven tion before the Christmas holidays. While there is no opposition to the treaty, the length and importance of the document and correspondence accom panying it will require much time for reading and investigating. It was signed at Madrid July 2 last, and, although it has not yet been officially made public, its terms are generally known. The treaty contains thirty-one articles, comprising the usual details designed to secure amicable relations between na tions. In addition there is an informal agreement confirming the new relation ship between the two countries created by the war with Spain and declaring the peace treaty signed in Paris still in ef feet, Article I contains the usual protesfa tions of friendship and desire to main tain the best international relations; article II guarantees commercial and navigation rights to each nation in the territory of the other; article III pro tects the rights of dead persons; ar ticle IV relates to the rights of burial and the observance of religious customs without hindrance; article V secures po litical and military exemption to the citizens of one country in the other; article VI protects rights in the courts; articles VII to XI relate to navigation, tonnage, taxes, and shipwrecks; articles XII and XXIII relate to diplomatic and consular representation, outlining the privileges of consuls and providing for the protection of commerce.

Lubers and Richard Fenn Had Narrow Escape From Death in Rockies. DENVER, Col., Dee. 16.<P. T. Lubers and Richard Fenn, of Philadelphia, and Harry Berger, a chauffeur, had a nar row escape from death Sunday night. They missed a train for Boulder and rented a machine from the Mobile Com pany and started for Bouider. Return ing, when about seventeen miles from Boulder, Berger pulled the lever to slow the machine in descending a steep hill. The lever would not work and the auto shot down the hill at terrific speed. Faster and faster the machine sped on its mad race at a pace that threatened demolition to the machine and death to the occ nts. They were fortunate in not jumping then, but when the machine reached the opposite slope the speed di minished, and Berger jumped and called for the others to follow. All esczped in juries, although Lubers had his left ankle sprained. 4 WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE IN THE JUNIOR REPUBLIC ‘Boys Make an Effort to Change the Law, But Are Defeated. The King's Daughters held their an nual meeting last night at the Church of the Covenant. Miss Jennie V. Jewell, the secretary, presided; Miss MaNeir, the corresponding SECTELANY, acting as secretary. Two lads from the Junior Republic, which the King's Daughters have taken in hand as their branch work, were pres ent. Wilbert Marsh, the vice president of the republic, a lad of about sixteen, described the workings of the society. There are forty-nine boys and two girls, and tHe girls have the right of suffrage. The money of the republic is made of aluminum, manufactured in Baltimore. When a boy has made a record of goed behavior for six months he has his bank balance cashed in good United States money, dollar for dollar, so it is as good as real money to the children. Paul May, aged fourteen, judge of the republic courts, gave an interesting ac count of the effort to change the consti tution so as to deprive the girls of the right of suffrage. This was held by many to be just, as the girls paid the boys to do their work for them, which the boys did not consider fair. At the town meet ing, where it was first proposed, it was carried with a rush, but the law re quires that a motion shall be carried by more than one town meeting before it becomes a law. At the second meeting at which it was brought up the question of woman suffrage met such a volume of discussion that the motion was lost. The youthful parliamentarians soon learned to study thelr subjects before presenting them on the floor of the meeting.

CURFEW RULE ANNOYS “SPARKING™ SWAIKS Pennsylvania Gallants Set Up Howl of Despair. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.—Guardians and parents of young women out along the main line of the Pennsylvania Rail road who object to male callers who stay too late are having the difficulty solved to their entire satisfaction. Promptly at 11 o'clock every night Cu pid's curfew sounds, and after that time courting is carried on only at extreme risk. Chief of Police Brookmeyer, of the Lower Merion township poiice, is the man who brought about the strange rule. Originally it was aimed at bur glars and other night prowlsrs, but so far the only sufferers have been be lated lovers. For months every suburb as far west as Rosemont has been harassed by thieves. The police force, which <on sists of eight men, could do aothing to break up the robberies, when Brook meyer bethought him of a plan. This was to stop every wayfarer met on the roads late at night, and, if he failed to account for himself, lock him up. This order was also communicated to the many private policemen employed ‘by the residents of the various suburbs. On the first night the rule went into effect some twenty ‘suspicious’ char acters were halted. In every case they proved themselves, after much difficulty, to be young en who had been calling on their sweethearts. After their names and the names the young women upon whom they had been calling had been taken the captives were allowed to depart. And so the work went on, but the num ‘ber of men halted decreased each night. The beaux of the maids employed in the residences along the road were the prin cipal sufferers. When, homeward bent, they crossed the lawns, they were almost certain to be pounced upon by the sleuths. But these are not the only victims. For country sweethearts 11 o'clock is only gtarting time and, consequently, many of the rural beaux had their feelings jarred. So they have ceased to call in many cases, and matrimonial stock is on the decline., While parents are actually gleeful over the saving of coal and 'sléep, the young women are almost a ‘unit in declaring the curfew rule an out ‘rage. To be sure, after a man explains who he is and where he has been, he is al lowed to depart. But here chivalry im poses a barrier. The victim must tell whom he called on, what time he left and why he stayed so late. The records in such cases are not difficult of access, so in a short time it becomes public property that Seo-and-So is “sparking” Miss So-and-So, and that he stays at her house until awfully late. So far the young women and their ‘beaux have taken no action, but it is said that if the curfew rule is continued in force they will petition the chief of police for passports. TO AMEND DISTRICT LAW. The Board of District Commissioners hag forwarded to the chairman of the House District Committee the draft of a bill to amend the act untitled: “An act to provide for the appnintment of a sealer and assistant seales of weights and measures in the District of Colvm bia.” Its object is to specify the au thority of the office, and to correct some of the omissions of the original law. The Commissioners request its passage at the present session of Congress. MOTHER GOOSE SUGAR LOAF RHYMES. Old Mother Goose _.

UNION STATION BILL PASSES THE HOUSE Now Goes to Conference Committee for Action. LIKELY TO BECOME LAW President Said to Favor Measure, and Will Probably Sign It en Sight. In spite of the decided opposition of Representagive Caanon, whosc opinions generally carry great weight, the House late yesterday afternoon passed the union station bill, with ut few changes from those recommenced by the Dis trict Committee. The mweasure embodies the same general features as when it was passed by the Senate last session, and there is no doubt felt that the con ference committee will agree without difficulty, and the bill will receive the indorsement of the President. Mr. Cannon's opposition was aimed largely at the plaza or parking feature, which the bill provides shall be laid out directly in front of the station, at a cost of about $770,100. This expendi ture, Mr. Cannon strongly criticised as a greet waste of money. That it was according to the general scheme of the plans of the Beautification Commission made no difference. He said the com mission was a creature of the Senate, and was headed by an architect whose ideas “dwelled generally far above in the clear blue skies.” Mr. Cannon’s Argument. In his argument against ihe plaza Mr. Cannon said, in part: “We have just forced upon the peo ple of the District a personal tax and a reappraisement of roal property, and this increased taxation barely raises revenue to meet currea{ expenses, There is not money in the Treasury to pay for many needed improv ments, such as sanitary sewerage ap” filtration plant, 1 believe the com:nittee's estimate oi $700,000 for this plaza is not one-half large enough, but accepting (he com mittee's estimate, for what is this $700. 000 to be expended? park, a breath ing place! If theres one thing th: District of Columbia has io throw at the birds, it is breathing places. We have in Washington parks enough for a city of 2,000,000, mostly uncared for, and here it is proposed to spend $700, 000 to get another one. The District Columbia has no money to pay for this park, and if we pass this bill the Unit ed States Sen ment will be morally “bound to harge the obligation. If we need it, let's have it; but I cannot think of anything the District of Co lumbia needs Jess than it does more parks.” 7 Besides Chairman Babcock, of the Dis trict Committee, who led the debate in support of the bill, Mr. Morrell of Penn gylvania, Mr. Cowherd of Missouri, and Mr. Sims of Texas, all members of the committee, spoke in its favor. The aged Representative, Mr. Grow of Pennsylva nia, who made his farewell address to the House only a few days ago_ also lent his voice in favor of a parking space in front of the station. As a result of this Mr. Cannon's amendment to all that portion of the meas to the plaza feature was by a vole of 106 to 48. pport strike out ure relating killed Additional Taxation. An in this attempt to eliminate believed a waste of money, Mr. (mext sought to tack on the bill fon that, to meet the burden legislation would impese upon FMstrict revenues, taxation for a pe fod of five years should be increased by 25 per cent. Mr. Cannon supported A vision even more strongly than had that cutting out the plaza. He Falling what he

which the he de the District had reached a po! important improvements id have to stop unless more reve would where _ mue was provided. The personal tax and Teappralsement had increased the reve nue hues to some extent. but not enough to meet requirements. “1 am willing to let Washington beau he said. “just as rapidly as tify to pay one-half of what the ion costs. It rests entirely it Is with the people of Washington. They can walk, trot, or run, and the Federal Tesasuty will keep page.” Babcock replied by demanding to kmow why Mr. Cannon would tax the of the District to the extent of when but $1,300,000 at the out side estimate would be sufficient. Mr. Cowherd also reminded the chairman of the Apprepriations Committee that he had approved the legislation for the two railway stations two years ago, and that the cost of the present project over the one then contemplated was insignificant when the advantages to be derived were vr} Mr, Cannon said that if he two years ago he was sorry, that a good many things had hap in two years and that any money h co ‘use J. if t seould be saved could be put to in making other improvements in the District. The question of the tax amendment was to the House and voted down. The ittee of the Whole then arose put Comn reported the bill favorably to the Which passed it without division. &KhQ PENNSYLVANIA NURSE MARTYR TO HER DUTIES Stuck to Her Post Until She Collapsed and Death Followed.

The President has recently had occa sion to give some attention to the selec tion of the personnel of the commission, and it has developed that there is strong oppositicn te including Senator Jones upon it. It will be remembered that he was one of the two Democratic members of the Senate who voted for the Spooner sub stitute. Senater Teller was the other, but his case was quite different from that of Senator Jones. He had never been an advocate of the Nicaraguan route as against the Panama route, provided the objections to the ac quisition of the latter could, in his judg ment, be removed. Besides, he was then quite a recent recruit to the minority party. Not so with Senator Jones. The Republican national platform de clared for the construction of an isth mian canal, without specifying any of the various suggested routes. The Dem ocratic National Convention, of which Senator Jones was a member, as well as the chairman of the national com mittee, declared expressly for the Nica raguan route. As a member of the committee on res olutions Senator Jones voted for that plank, ag a member of the convention he voted for it, and in the ensuing cam paign he supported it. No one was aware of his change of heart in this re spect until after ex-Governor Clarke had defeated him for the senatorship and the time for voting upon the canal bill was fast approaching. Then it became apparent that Sen ator Jones had deserted his former po DISGREPANC IN REPORT ON TEXAN BOUNDARY Uncertain Where New Sur Jey Means Gain or Loss. AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 16.—Staie Land Commissioner Charles Ragan yesterday made an important discovery which ex plains the difference of conclusions reached by himself and other State au thorities and the members of the Texas delegation at Washington in regard to the loss or gain of land by the State in the survey of the north boundary be tween Texas and Oklahoma just com pleted by the Federal Government. The original dispatch from Austin was published saying that the new survey of the 100th meridan by the United States Government showed a loss to this State of a strip of land 3,699.7 feet wide and 150 miles long. It met with prompt denial by Senator Culberscn and other mem bers of the State delegation in Congress, who asserted that instead of the State losing it gained that much land from Oklahoma by the new survey. Mr. Ragan made a comparison of the typewritten report of Arthur D. Kidder, United States examiner of surveys, on the survey in question, which was re cently received by Governor Sayers, and the printed repoft of the same survey as embraced in the Secretary of the In terior’s letter of transmittal to Con gross. This comparison shows that the type written report reads that the old initial boundary monument is 3,090.7 feet east of the new line while the priated reports read that it is 3,699.7 feet west of the ‘new ‘line. Which of these copies is cor rect is not known here. They are both identical In other respects. While the new bill posting law, which went Into effect November 1, has not af fected the company to any appreciable extent, it does afford citizens relief from objectionable billboards opposite or near their homes. G. W. Balloch, of 2445 Brightwood Ave nue, has bitterly protested against the location of a billboard opposite his home. He says that the objectionable structure was erected a few weeks ago without the consent of the residents, “This structure,” he says, ‘'is profuse ly decorated with works of art which make up in quantity what they lack in quality. There is a beautiful recom mendation of a five-cent cigar, and an invitation to use a certain patent pre scription, and reposing close by are sev eral diminutive Africane in scanty ral ment, exhibiting the merits of a washing powder." The Commissioners have received a similar pratest from Robert Caverly, of 506 Tenth Street northwest, and others protesting against the erection and maintenance of a billboard near the point named. The Commisgioners have signified thelr determination to act, provided the pro NEW BILLPOSTING LAW GRATIFIES CITIZENS Many Complaints Daily Received and Adjusted—Severa Requests for Permits Now “Held Up.” THE WASHINGTON TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1902. sition and become a supporter of the Panama project, but it is said not with ‘out reason. It has now developed that he is to be a member of the commission provided for in the bill, and there are those who attach a significance which is more than a coincidence to these two facts. Singu larly enough to some, but entirely clear to others, it is said that Senator Hanna ‘is Senator Joneg' sponsor for the ap pointment. It Is reported that these two rival chairmen ard campaign opponents have at last found a common ground, some ‘thing upon which they can agree, and that something is that Senator Jones, vho retires from the Senate on March 4 next, shall be a member of the Isth ymian Canal Commission. The President is said to look with dis favor upon the appointment of Senator Jones, but is reminded that he applies with the indorsement of Senator Hanna to his credentials, and Senator Hanna is not a man who will permit any under standing to which he is a party to be ignored. The President has stated to those who have conferred with him upon the sub ject that he intends to give one of the places upon the commission to a Dexo crat from the Southwest. This announce ment has brought forth several candi dates from that section besides Senator Jones, and given them hope. Senator Harris of Kansas is one of these, and he is regarded as especially qualified for appointment, not only be cause of the fact that he has taken a great interest in the matter-of building a canal and is well informed upon the subject, but, in addition, he is a prac tical engiseer, a qualification which should count for something in this con nection. b Another candidate is Governor Sayers of Texas, whose appointment would be especially gratifying to those who were for many years his assoclates in Con gress, and who have high regard for his personality and his ability. His term as governor expires next month. New Orleans has: a candidate. W.S. GHANGE TELLS OF ALASKA SALMON PACKING Annual Report of Special Treasury Agent. W. 8. Chance, supervising special agent of tbe Treasury Department, ‘n ‘his annual report, discussing the suidject of salmon packing, says: “It is estimated the total catén of Alaska salmon fisheries for the season of 1902 will amount to 2,470,000 cascs, or 400,000 more cases than in 1901." The total gross value of the pack wiil ag gregate $85,645,000. The approximate pack of other fisheries is reported to be as follows: Fraser River, 225000; Skena River, 140,000; Rivers Inlet, 71,000; Naas ‘River, 21,000; Puget Sound, 308,000, and Columbia River, 275,000 cases. In Alas ka there were sixty-two canneries and twenty-four salteries in operation last year. In the discussion of undervaluations of imported merchandise, Mr. Chance says: “The fact that many imperiers with unlimited credit and unsurpassed facili ties for buying abroad are still obliged to purchase from other importers cer tain lines of goods which they would prefer to {import themselves tends strongly to show that such goodg are still consigned by the foreign manufac turers to sales agents in this country, a system which suggests that undervalu ation is the chief reason for its continu ance. In such cases it has been found ‘o be particularly difficult to secure satis factory evidence of dutiable values. Co operation between importers who wish to purchase in the foreign markets ana the special agents charged with the de tection and prevention of fraud: upon the customs revenue would accompiizh a great deal toward changing these con ditions. Communications on the subject are always welcomed and made the basis of investigation. Whenever requests are so made they are treated as confiden tial.” test reaches the proportions of one-half the residents interested. An important question has arisen rel ative to the erection of signs upon the sldes of two well-known restaurants. One is that of D. C.

Application has been made for a permit to put up thege signs, and Ie now under comsideration by the po lice department.

They are members of the Pelly River tribe, WOMEN PRAY FOR FUEL; GOAL ARRIVES PROMPTLY Efficacy of Prayer Demon strated in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 16.—Something kappened at 1213 Mi. Vernon Street yes terday afternoon which has greatly in crcased the faith of the occupants of the premises in the efficacy of prayer. On Sunday the last plece of coal on the place was used and members of the household shivered near the Jheerless radiators. Mrs. Laura Kline, owner of the house, had applied to coal dealers three weeks ago and was assured by them that she should have a ton just as soon as it could be obtained by the mer chants. Each day, as the pile in her bin dwindled she sought the coal dealers only to be Informed: “We have no coal; your order will be filled when we re ceive a shipment.” Freezing weather came and still no fuel nor prospect of fuel could she get. 3 Yesterday morning Mrs. Kline made the round of the yards without results. Returning home she and another wo man who has apartments in her house ‘talked over the situation. They were not long deciding upon course. They went into the cellar, where the empty coal bin had become a gruesome reminder of threatening misery and suffering, and kneeling, prayed. How long they were in offering up an invocation for fuel they did not note, ‘but before they had finished their pray er a wagom containing a ton of the al most priceless treasure had backed up in front of the premises, and while {rom nearby windows persons gazed With wide-eyed envy the driver arranged his shute for dumping the precious burden into the basement, These women believe prayer is all right, especially in matter pertaining to the coal famine. NEW ARCHBISHOP OF GRICAGO A LEARNED MAN Prelates Spoken of to Suc ceed Him at Buffalo. BUFFALO, Dec. 16.—The Rt. Rev. James Edward Quigley, third Bishop of Buffalo, ncminated by the Propaganda to the vacant archdlocese ‘of Chicago, yesterday, was born on October 15, 1855, in the little village of Oshawa, Ont. about forty miles east of Toronto, on the shore of Lake Ontario. When Bishop Quigley was only an infant his parents moved from Canada to Lima, Livingston county, N. Y., where they remained for three years, finally moving to Rochester, where he entered St. Joseph's College. He was graduated in 1872 and received a West Point eadetghip, but did net go to the Military Academy. Instead, he turned his course to the Vincentian Sem inary of Our Lady of Angels. In 1873 Bishop Ryar, of Buffalo, se cured fer him a “bursch’ in the old and celebrated University of Innsbruck, in the Austrian Tyrol. From the University of Innsbruck he went to the College of the Propaganda, inn Rome. He distin guished himself there as a student, and in 1879 he received “he degree of doctor of theology. He had already received holy orders at the hands of the Cardinal Viear of Rome, Monaco de le Valleta, on April 13 of the same year. Father Quigley returned from Rone in 187%, and was al most immediately assigned by Bishop Ryan as rector of the newly created par ish of Atiica, Wyoniing county, where he remalned for five years. About eighteen years ago Father Quig ley entered the Cathedral of Buffalo as its rector. On the death of Monsignor Gleeson, Dr. Quigley was transferred to St. Bridget's Church as its irremovable rector, at his own request. He entered on his duties #8 rector in January, 1896. When the Episcopal See of Buffalo fell vacant on the death of Bishop Ryas, Bishop Quigley was chosen to be the Bishop of Buffalo, and was consecrated Bishop on February 24, 1897. Among the prominent Roman Catholic prelates of Buffalo whose names have been mentioned as his successor as Bish op of Buffalo are Vicar General M. P. Connery, of St. Colomba’s Church; the Rev. James A. Lanigan, of St. Bridget's Church, and the Rev. John D. Biden, rector of St. Joseph's Cathedral It might be said that there has been some talk that Bishop J. P. Salding, of Peoria, I11., might be transferred to Buf falo. Other Roman Catholic priests whose names have been in the talk about a successor to Bishop Quigley are the Rev, Jas. F. McGloin, the Rev. Patrick Cronin, the Rev. Father Leddy, of St. Stephen's Church, and the Rev. Paul Hoelscher, of St. Louis’ Church, at Main and Edward Streets. Thore has been more or less talk late ly that the archdiocese of New York, which includes the See of Buffalo, might be divided, thus making the city of Bui falo an archdiocese in itself.

CAS TORIA furifutsan thidrm, Bears the gon The Kind You Have Always Bought “ot Zo Tze MILLIONAIRES WILL Bt ASKED ABOUT GAMBLING Jerome to Begin Searching Inquiry in New York. NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—The “New York World" says this morning that District Attorney Jerome has taken steps to as certain what the following men know about gambling: Payne Whitney, Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Reginald Vanderbilt, Jokn W. Gates, Charlie Gates, and John A. Drake. This action, if taken, is the direct re sult of Richard Cantield’'s suit for dam ag s against the district attorney. Can field is known as “king of gamblers” and proprietor of the “Saratoga Club,” which, according to the police, is a gam bling house. Canfield’'s attorneys yesterday served Jerome with papers in the civil action, claiming heavy damages for the destrac tion of lace curtains in Canfield’s house in this city. Papers were served on Deputy Police Commissioner Piper and Police Inspector Brooks, who are made co-defendants. The papers were served on Mr. Jerome at his office, As soon as Mr. Jerome had read the papers he gave out an interview, in which he vigorously denounced Canfield and his backers. Magistrate Brann yesterday afternoon issued a summons for Inspector Brooks. The complaint alleges that Inspector Brooks exceeded his authority in the raid he made on the house occupied by Can field. Theze actions are measures of retalia tion on the part of Canfield, and the be ginning of what will probably prove the biggest fight the district attorney has made against gambling in New York city. In this fight some of the most promi nent men in New York, notable figures in Wall Street, will figure as witnesses. Mr. Jerome has already subpoenaed A. A. Hoseman and Jesse Lewisohn, who will be asked to testify regarding the ~har acter of the house run by Canfield. Mr. Hoseman said yesterday afternoon he was never inside of Canfield’s place. NEW JEESEY FORTUNES BAGK PEERAGE GLAIN George Swifte to Battle in English Courts. VINELAND, N. J., Dec. 16.—The cele brated claim of cne of Vineland's eiti zens to a peerage in the British house of lords, which has for several years: been in the courts of Dublin, is to be reopened in London, in the highest tri ‘bunal of the empire, backed by the for tunes of wealthy Jerseymen. Though known here as George Swifte, a modest toiler the claimant says he is the Right Hon. George Barnham God win Swifte, rightful heir to the title and estates of the late Earl of Carlingford, of Swifte’s Heath, Ireland, John W. Northrup, a wealthy shoe manufacturer of Vineland, went to Ire land to investigate the Swifte claim, both for himself and Charles Keighley, the Vineland millionaire, who is back ing the case. Mr. Northrup has just re turned full of enthusiasm over Mr. Swifte's bright prospects. In proof of Swifte’s claim Mr. Nor thrup has just brought from Ireland cop ies of court and other documents bear ing on the case. John Northrup has this to say of the Swifte case: “I am morally certain that George Swifte is not only entitled to a seat in the house of lords, but is the rightful beir to cne of the richest estates in the British empire. It must be worth any where from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.” George Swifte is ill at Vineland under the care of Dr. W. F. Sawyer, but le has been informed by Mr. Keighley that as soon as he recovers sufficiently to travel they will sail for England. Mr. Keighley will contribute $100,000 to start with and more if necessary, to see that wifte gets what is due him. When asked about the claim the Uni ted States consul at London is quoted as replyieg: “Yes, the lawful heir lives at Vineland, N. J. Push the cas.” Swifte was descended from a long line of distinguished Yorkshire ancestry, in termarried with such celebrities as the Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of Mulgrave. In 1845 Lord Carlingford (Godwin Meade Pratt Swifte) married at Liverpocel, his bride being Jare Anna, daughter of General Hopkins, a com mander in the British army, and two years later there was born to him a son, who is now the claimant at Vineland. The death of his mother caused George, the youthful viscount, and a sister to La placed in the care of their paternal grandmother, the Countess de Molande, she having been :narried a second time to a French nobleman of that name. The countess dled in France several years later, and the viscount rejoined his father and sister on the Carlingford es tates, The misfortunes of which Ceorge be came a victim were the resuit of his father’s second marriage in 1853, the oue upon whom Earl Carlingford bestowed his hand and title being Miss “lark, of County Kilkenny. H:s lordship survived his marriage about a year. As j:sue of this marriage he left a son, Godwin Meade Butler Swifte, the rival claim ant. WIFE OF SENATOR W. A. BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 16.—Mrs. W. A.

REPUBLICANS ALLEGE FRAUD IN COLORADO 4 S——— N—— Er a E————————————— eee Senator Teller Not Worried Over Situation. i NOT DISCUSSING POLITICS Opponents Hold the House of Delegates by One Majority—Talk of Un seating Denver Democrats,

Senator Teller is unperturbed by the disquieting political conditions in Col orade. He will remain here attending to legislative duties until the adjourn ment of Congress for the holidays, Then he will return to Colorado, and devote some time looking after his fences. He has declined to discuss the situation further than to say that he can see lit ‘tle cause for alarm.

A peculiar state of affairs exists in Colorado on which depends the political faith of the next Senator elected.

The key to the situation is the lower house of the Legislature, which has thir ty-three Republicans and thirty-two Democrats, according to the returns of the last election. The upper house gives the Democrats a majority of eleven, making a Democratic majority of ten on a joint ballot, Providing no changes were made as the result of election con tests, Senator Teller would be returned to Congress by the majority mentioned.

Republicans Charge Fraud. Republicans, however, are charging fraud in the election in Arapahoe coun ty, in which the city of Denver is lo cated, and which sent fifteen Democratic members to the lower house. In Colora do each legislative body acts as ils own Judge of election in case of contes®, so it will readily be seen that if the Re publicans unite in the lower house it will be possible to throw out the entire bb rind

delegation of Arapahoe county, and this would change the complexion of the Leg islature on a joint ballot. Thus would be wrought the defeat of Senator Teller, whose term expires in March, 1903. Many Democrats of the State are threatening to organize the members of that party in the upper house, and coun terbalance such action by refusing to seat certain Republican members of the upper house, but it is said that Senator Teller has refused to sanction this on the ground that it would disorganize the State Legislature to such an extent that it would be impossible to pass appro priation measures and other bills nec essary to the welfare of the Common wealth

He 5 oo

“The Interests of the State are more important than mine,” he is quoted as having said oh the eve of his deparisre for Washington.

Friends of Senator Teller ay Chore are no grounds for the charge that the election In Arapahoe county was notori ously fraudulent. Among these friends are a number of Republicans. They do not believe the Republican membheors cf the lower house will vote as a unit for the unseating of the fifteen representa tives referred to, as some of these were elected by more than 6,000 majority. The refusal of one member of the ma jority party of the lower house to vots to unseat the Democrats would defeat the plans of the Republicans. SCHOLARSHIPS AT LEHIGH UNI VERSITY. Lehigh University, situated at South Bethlehem, Pa., has placed at the dispo sal of the principals of the public high schools of Washington seven honorary scholarships as follows: One each in the classical or Latin-scientific course to the Central, Eastern, and Western High Schools, and one each in any of the technical or scientific courses to the Central, Eastern, and Western High High Schools and the Manual Training School No. 1.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16. 1902. ISLAND. OF GUAM 10 HAVE A GOVERMENT Senator Foraker Introduces a Bill to This End. A bill was introduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr. Foraker for the pur pose of providing a government for the island of Guam. The bill if passed will give to the President the authority to pame a person or persons who shall exercise all military, civil, and judi cial power necessary for the government of the inhabitants of the island. The statutory laws of the United States shall have the same force and ef feet In Guam as in the United States, except the internal revenue laws. AD other provicion reduces the tariff on Guam-made goods imported into the United States to 50 per cent of the ex isting rates, Senator Morgan introduced a bill nam ing $5,000 a year as the compensaticn of members of the isthmian canal com mission. The salary of the chief engin eer is placed at $10,000; that of the pay master-in-chief at $5,000, and that of the chief surgeon at $6,000, The Senate Judiciary Committee has decided to postpone making Its report on the nomination of Morgan H. Beach to be United States district attorney until after the holidays. Opposition to his confirmation by the Senate will be thor oughly investigated by the Senate com mittee. Senator Perkins introduced a bill giv ing authority to persons engaged in car ing for forest reservations to make ar rests of those accused of violating the laws for the protection of such reserva tions, The Senate vesterday received, through a message from the President, the report of the Secretary of State rela tive to the killing of two Italians and the wounding of another at Erwin, Miss., July 11, 1901. The men were killed by a mob. The President recommends that Congress make =uitable provision for the heirs of the two men killed and for the man injured.

ALDERSON WILL BECONE OR. LORENZ PATIENT Ex-Representative Has Dis located Shoulder. Ex-Representative John I. Alderson, of Nicholas county, W. Va., is a guest at the National. He stopped over to pass the day with old friends in the House, whom he has not geen for several years. Mr. Alderson is on his way to New York to consult Dr. Lorenz, of Vienna, about his right shoulder, which was’ injured some years ago in a rallroad wreck. A number of surgeons have been con sulted, but he has never regained full use of the arm. Correspondence with the eminent Austrian surgeon has convinced the ex-Representative he can be much benefited, and he will! remain in New York under the surgeon's care until the latter leaves the country for home. When the ex-Representative was a member of the House, the late Speaker Reed and he engaged in many disputes over rulings. Talking of Mr. Reed, the ex-Congressman said: “The late Speaker was a wonderful man. Of humble parentage, he rose to be the most eminent parliamentarian the country has ever known. “He was a man of strong likes and dis likes, and a bitter partisan while a member of the House. 1 have been the victim of his sarcasm more than once, and I assure you it had a sting. But the next moment the Speaker had forgotten it and was the same good-hearted man as before. Nf large frame and quickwit tad, he was feared by many members, but I always noticed he cared more for those who showed ‘fight’ than for those who simply tock wha! he said without comment.” BANK NOTES RECEIVED. National bank notes received yester day for redemption, $557,806; government receipts from internal revenue, $1,359,239; customs, $818,174; miscellaneous, $100, 243; expenditures, $1,455,000.

oe? 4 UBLATE SISTERS" REAL LSIATE IS TAXABLE Assessor Gives Opinion an Disputed Point. Corporation Counsel A. B. Duvall some time ago requested District Asses sor Darneille to inform him as to the lability to taxation of certain real estate owned by the Oblate Sisters of Providence. This organization, in a suit filed against the District, contends that the property in question is not taxable, be cause it is held and used for cducational purposes. The Oblate Sisters asked the Supreme Court of the District to per petually restrain the District authorities from assessing taxes against and col lecting taxes on their property The in formation Mr. Duvall asks for is to be used in making answer to the petition of the Sisters. In his report on the matter, Mr. Dar neille says: “By deed dated April 21, 1893, recorded April 27, 1893, Mary J. Atkins transfer red to the Oblate Sisters of Providence iots 8, 9, 10 and 11, and the west 17.25 feet of lot 12, In square 924, bounded by C, D, Eighth and Ninth Streets south east.

ALASKA NO FIELD FOR THE AMBITIOUS YOUTH Dr. Jackson Tells Salaried Men to Stay at Home. The Rev. Dr. Sheidon Jackson, United States general agent of education im Alaska, delivered an zddress concerning the condition of that country at a ‘meeting of the Men's Club of the ‘Memorial Lutheran Church last night, Dr. Jackson bas for twenty-five years held his present position, and is thoroughly conversant with Alaskan afe fairs. In his address, Dr. Jackson gave a general outline of the educational and religious work that has been ac complished in Alaska. He said that at present there were thirty-three public schools in the country, and about seventy-five Protestant churches, besides a number of Roman and Greek Catholic churches. The chief industry of the natives and the white population, of which there has been a great influx in the past year, is gold mining, while other resources are the canning of salmon, which nets between $4,000,600 and $5. 600,000 annually; copper mining; marble mining, and the cil flelds. These pro ducts are all valuable, and their sale has been the source of much pros perity. While the country is generally pros perous, Dr. Jackson sald, however, that he does not consider it a fleld to be sought by ambitious persons. The man whe has a remunerative position in this part. of the country had better re main here, he said. FRATERNAL OFFICERS ELECTED. The following officers have been elect ed by Adah Chapter, No. 9, 0.

Noted Speakers at Metropol itan African Church SCHLEY AND HOBSON THERE fla AR) Crumpacker Disappoints His Auditors by Advocacy of a Restrict ed «Suffrage. 5 vi

ed Suffrage. Three distinguished Americans, each of whom was Introduced as a hero, spoke w a large audience at the Met ropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, in M near Fifteenth Street, last evening. J& 1% Admiral Schley spoke on “The Colored Man as a Sailor,” Capt. Richmond Pear son Hobson on “The Colored Man in America,” and Representative E. D. Crumpacker of Indians on “The Col ored Man In Politics.” Mr. Crumpacker, who was introduced by Judson W. Ly ons, Register of the Treasury, was chairman of the meeting. Hailed as the “Hero of the House of Commons,” Mr. Crumpacker said that politics was a means to an end, and urged the col ored man to prepare himself for the ballot.

thin Education Urged. the “Civilization,” he sald, “is an evolu tion, and the colored man has had com paratively short experience in the affairs of government. 1 believe in an educa tional qualification for suffrage, and in sist that it shali be applied to all races and kinds of men, whether in South Car colina or Massachusetts. y oe ders for weal women. “Most important of al] the reconstruc tion measures was the fourteenth amendment, makinz a great body of men citizens of this Republic. Repre sentation in the House of Representa tives was to be based on the number of voters, but, for reasons that appeared sufficient then, another clause was add ed, making the representation conform to the population. A Great Blunder. “No greater blunder was ever com mitted,” said Mr. Crumpacker, ‘‘than the sudden thrusting upen a great body of lately emancipated men the rights and responsibilities of suffrage. Under our Constitution every State has a right to regulate its own suffrage and provide restrictions. I believe in educational qualification. It is a great incentive to the colored man to prepare himself. Chief among the attributes of the good citizen are a patriotic regard for his country and the desire and ability to found a home. “The homebuilder i% the hope of the world. The army and navy are only sen tinel guards. Civilizition is a conflict, and the white race has come to its com ‘manding position through 2,000 years of conflict, defeats, and viccories.” The larger part of Mr. Crumpacker’'s speech was received with generous ap plause, hat his remarks on gualified suf frage were evidently disappointing to the majority of the hearers. The “Old Mammy.” Admiral Schley, introduced as “that ‘grand American whom all the world de lights to honos,” spoke of the tender relations existing “eiween the children of the old South and their black guar dians. He told of the zealous care of his _ old plantation “mammy.”” He said that "he first learned to “‘box the compass’ ‘under a colored seaman. From the war of the revolution until the war of 1898 the colored sailors and soldiers took a gallant part and discharged their duty in every station with honor and fidelity. He paid a tribute to Samuel Turner, who was close to him on that great day, July 81, at Santiago.

i Admiral Schley closed with a strong ‘appeal to the members of the race to strive to improve their minds and to do everything in the way of duty with fidel fty and zeal, remembering that hard work is the road to honor. He did not touch on the political side of the ne gro’s struggle as did the others. a i 1 i 1 A 3 3 Sr The Colored Troops. Captain Hobson “Hero of the Merri mae,” was received with tremendous ap plause. He sald the first troops he saw when released from his Santiago prison were colored troops. He bestowed lib eral praise on the colored men as fight ers, but his strongest commendation was of the negroes of the South, who so nobly stood by the defenseless women and children of the Southland while the men were in the war.

Serfdom of Europe. “Your condition today bears no com “Your condition today bears no com parison to the serfdom of Europe. What was your brief serfdom compared to the jong serfdom of the white race in the dark ages? There the children of peas ants and their children after them must live and die peasants, dere we have no caste, no deadly lines of demarcation. Work, hard and incessart, is the price of progress.” On the platform, besides the speakers, were the Rev. Thomas Lassiter, Judson ‘W. Lyons, and Recorder John C. Dancy. Senator Mason, one of the invited speak ‘ers, was unable to be present. In the audience were three patriotic organiza tions: Charles Sumner Post, G. A. R., J. H. Brooks, commander; Charles Sum ner Woman's Relief Corps, and Gen. Guy V. Henry Guard, Soldiers’ and Sail ors’ Union, J. W. Truman, commander. There were also present a large num ber of Spanish war veterans of the army and navy. GAMES BOWLED IN THREE LOCAL LEAGUES Interiors Rolled a Full Set Over the 900 Mark. SAENGERBUND FIRST PLACE Bruegger Had Best Average and High Single, and Anderson Led for Mets Against Roadway. The Interior team struck its gait again last night in a set in the Depart mental League series, and handily wen three games from the War Department on the Palace alleys. Each of its games was over the 990 mark, and the three consecutive strings at these figures cre ated a record, and the total pins bowled over was 2,773. The Warriors began poorly, and barely got into the 800 figure in the second, but bowled strong and hard in the third, with an 880 total. Lemmon had the honors this time, with 196 average, and his 2183 was second best single. Rice was next, with 186 average, on good steady bowling. Cogan topped the evening with a 226 single game.

In a letter to a friend in New York Olsen writes: “Wrestling has taken on quite a boom in Europe, especially at Graeco-Roman style. Most of the physi cal culture schools in Copenhagen have wrestling classes, and this has been the mans of producing a number of promis ng wrestlers. One young fellow, who is ‘about twenty-two years old, has been doing excellent work. He is Hans Krieg erscn, who weighs about 200 pounds, 1 am keeping in fine condition, and expect to visit America during the new year.” pA Harvey Parker is seriousiy thi king of retiring from the wrestling game in two years’ time. The noted Brocton wrestler has been on the mat almost twenty-five years. During that period he has figured in about 300 contests, thg ma jority of which he won. He has met all the champions in his class, and has never been thrown by any man near his weight, 145 to 148 pounds. The manager of “Tom Jenkins, who is eager for other fields to conquer, is mak ing preparations for an extended trip to Europe for the latter. Although Jenkins’ reputation as a wrestler has reached the other side, the noted catch-as-cetch-can expert has never been across the water. There was some talk of Jenkins going abroad about a year ago, but nothing came of it. He was practically matched to meet jack Carheek, but the latter ‘as unable to find time in which to en, ige in a contest, owing to previous contracts. If Jenkins sails he will not leave until next February, as he has four matches on hand. Jenkins will take in all the principal cities of Europe. His first stop will be Englaud, District Bowling League. Railway Relief League. THE WASHINGTON TIMES, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1902. WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Matters of Interest to Lovers cf Athletics.

cf Athletics. “Jimmy’" Britt, the clever lightweight jus xer, who recently gave Frank Erne th is quietus, is making money “hand over-fist’' these days, and he is not re ceiving any hard knocks from boxers’ fists either. This lad who awoke about two weeks ago and found himself famous as a boxer because of his victory over Erne, has a theatrical engagement and Is attracting “‘capacity” houses. Unless “Young Corbett” will agree to fight “Jimmy’’ some time before the holl days, the Californian will rest on his present laurels and do- no more fighting until next svring. Corbett agreed to fight Britt before the latter met and defonted Erne. Since Britt took Erne's measure Corbett has not stated definitely too or not he would meet him. Most of Corbett's friends and admirers declare that it would be foolhardy for him to meet Britt, because the latter is pounds heavier, and although they are not sure he would defeat Corbett, they believe the young Denver pugilist should let good enough alone and re main in the featherweight class.

1] Indoor Football, An indoor football tournament will be held at Madison Square Garden on the evenings of December 29, 30, and January 2. The teams that will contest for honors are the strongest and best known semi-professionals in the country, and although this is the first series of indoor football contests held in New York it is expected that the games will be hotly contested and bear close re semblance tu the outdoor game. Tha games will be played on specially pre pared turf or sod, which will be placed over the ground of the Garden in order to prevent the players from receiving in juries other than would Le sustained In the outdoor game. The halves will be of twenty minutes’ duration, and two games will be played each night. Frank Hurt has in his stable a two year-old colt that has every appearance of becoming a sensation. The colt was sired by Actell, 2:18}, out of the dam of Alonzo McDonald's good pacer Carl Wilkes, 2:06. The colt is a square trot ter, and with but little effort recently stepped a quarter in 0:36. The owner of the colt is the man who developed Carl Wilkes and several other good horses. The Baseball Truce. All true lovers of the great national game, baseball, are much gratified to see that the moguls of the two big leagues are: getting together once more. It is evident to all that the present cut-throat methods, if continued, will mean the complete annihilation of one or probably both of the organizations. Baseball, the sport which is loved by the American people, can only be pre served by a reduction of the present extravagant end exorbitant salaries ald ito. the players, and an agreement ng contracts, ope. Jchnson states that there is no possible way in which the American League can recede from any territory it has acquired since the cruel war be tween the leagues began. “Nor is it clear to me,” he continues, “how the American League can permit any players secured in the raiding to return to the National League camp.” The session of the peace committee held in New York last Friday night, was executive. A further conference will ba held January 5 at a place to be named by President Johnson. On the Bicycle Track. The winners of the six-day bicycle “grind” received their pay yesterday. George Leander, who finished first for his team (Leander and Floyd Krebs), was around New York bright and early, and looked as fresh as if he had just been on a ten-mile spin, instead of the terrible all-week grind. Instead of re tiring to a Turkish bath, as is customary with most all six-day riders, Leander went directly to his hotel Saturday, and went to bed. After tinkering with his machines for two or three hours sunday morning, he went down town and loin ed the other six-day riders who wi re able to be out of bed after the race. The eight or ten riders went over the entire race, and reviewed the incidents on the various days, and the hair-breadth es capes each man had were graphically deseribed by them. The chief topic of discussion was the advisability of “‘dop ing” the riders. Some argued tha: it made a man ride better in one particu lar race, and that he was no good after that. hers were of the opinion “dope” was just as essential to six-day riding as liquid food was. Leander, who is onc of the men who should know, declared that he was of the belief tha. “dope” was what pulled him through and gave» him his enduring power. On Christmas Day, Leander wiil race Bobby Walthour at Atlanta, Ga., in a ten, fifteen, and twenty-mile paced race. From Atlanta he will go to Kansas City, where, with Gus Lawson he will engag: in the six-day bicycle race to be held the last week in January. John Fisher, {of Chicago, will be Waithour’s partner at the Kansas City ‘“‘grind.” Leander and his running mate will be compelled to get in some good leg work in order to beat cut this pair, PROFESSIONAL COACH RULE MEETS APPROVAL A i 0 J ial 8

EL NEE BAEIIIUT a _-— Re Oxford Stroke Says What Has Been the Spirit Becomes Letter of Law. LONDON, Dec. 16.—Commenting on the action of the Henley stewards last Sat urday in barring professional coaches in the annual regattas, Dr. Warre, the headmaster of Eton, said in an interview today: “1 approve of amateurs being coached by amateurs.” C. M. Pitman, an old Oxford stroke, is quoted as saying: “The rule is an excellent one apd should eventually benefit foreign oars men. That which was always the spirit pow becomes the letter of the law.” W. B.

ELECTRIC SHOCK IN CAR STRIKES GIRL DUMB Flaming Current Fells Young Woman Passenger and Paralyzes Limb.

o NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—The doc tors at Bellevue are puzzled over the case of Mrs. Annle Stapleton, who was made speechless and lost the use of her right leg last night from the effects of an electric hock. Mrs. Stapleton was riding on a south bound Ninth Avenue surface car about 7 o'clock, when at Forty-second Street a current of electricity passed behind the seat where she was sitting. She was made unconsgious by the shock, bu: e covered when carried to a drug store. Immediately on recovering consclous ness she became hysterical, but found herself unable to speak a word. She was, however, able to write her name and ad dress on a slip of paper, together with her age, twenty-one. The remarkable accident caused a stampede in the car. Mrs. Stapleton was sitting on the west side of the car and directly next to her was a Mrs. Jennie Norton. Mrs. Norton bad a baby in her arms and Mrs. Staple ton was talking to it. Suddenly there came a loud report and 2 biue flame shot across the back of the seat where Mrs. Stapleton was sitting.

LOFTUS NOT TO MANAGE NEW YORK AMERICANS £1 £3 T

a aa} Latest Basebali Rumor Promptly De nied by Eugene S. Cochran, of Local Club. _—

It was rumored in Washington this morning that Tom Loftus, who managed the 1902 Washington ball team so suc cessfully, was to become the president of the New York American League team. It was also ‘stated that Patsey Donovan, of the St. Louis Nationals would come to this city to managd the local club, and that Clark Grif fith, of the Chicago American League club, would be Loftus’ right-hand man in New York. Upon investigation it was found that so far as Loftus is concerned there was no truth in the repc-ts. Eugene S. Cochran, one of the principal share holders in the local team, said this morning: “1 don’t believe a word of it. I am on the inside and would surely know if any move of such a nature was com ing off. ‘i'here is nothing new in base ball further than that it is a certainty that the American will have a team in little old New York. I have just come from there and know what's doing.” Frank Hiss, another stockholder in the Washington ball Company, declare that he had rd nothing whatever in regard to Loftus accepting the posi tion of president of the New York Club. LOFTUS WILL NOT SAY HE IS TO MANAGE NEW YORK

DUBUQUE, lowa, Dec. 16.—Tom Lof tus, who is now in Dubuque, when inter viewed today regarding the dispatch from New York stating that he is to be the manager of the New York Ameri can League team, was loath to talk of the matter, He said, however, that if a change wad to be made, it would be done at a meet ing to be called this month by President Johnson.

Many students were cut and bruised by flying missiles and general pande monium reigned. The riot started when some students at the head table be gan singing, “Four and Twenty Har vard Men.” Immediately food began to fly their way. The electric ligh’s went out and dishes were heard smashing on the tile floor, ard one entire table at which were seated a number of seniors was tipped over and its burden shattered on the floor. Waiters were pelted with dishes and food, and a number of freshmen were chased wp and the hall, some of them running over the tables to escape missiles aimed at them.

The Washington Times FRANK A. MUNSEY PUBLICATION OFFICE, Tenth and D Streets BRITISH ND GERMAN METHODS OF DEBT-COLLECTION ARE OPEN TO SERIOUS CRITICISM. Though American opinion will not question the legitimacy of the joint efforts of Great Britain and Germany to collect the debts which Venezuela owes them, it cannot but condemn the harsh and violent methods which these powers have ¢mployed to hasten payment. If their only purpose was to force a prompt and satisfactory settlement of Venezuela's long neglected obligations that purpose has been virtually defeated by the unnecessary and mistaken severity of the pressure put upon tne Caracas government. Announcing a vurely pacific program-—one that by imposing a complete embargo on foreign trade might bring both the Venezuelan public and the Venezuelan authorities to seek an amicable settlement—they have rushed headlong into a policy which closes every door to mediation and to peace. By wanton and extravagant acts of war they have not only outrag.l Venezuelan patriotism, but have made it practically impossible for President Castro to yield now to reason without ruining his fortunes with the mercurial and excitable populace. To seize and sink a friendly nation’s war vessels, to bombard its forts and destroy its property, seems a rather primitive method of hinting to that nation that certain of its I. 0. Us are already past due. Collecting claims by creating larger counter-claims savors neither of worldly wisdom nor of sound economy. And insulting a debtor's honor just as you present him a disputed account is not the surest and shortest way to a mutually satisfaciciy settlement. Wiose fault it was is not yet clear. But it is evident that both Germany and Great Britain have been drawn into gross and needless blunders in their over-violent and over-hasty efforts at coercion in Venezuela. Under the forms of peace they have committed flagrant acts of war, and by incensing Venezuelan patriotism and vastly increasing the difficulties in the way of any peaceful settlement, they have only pushed the prospects «f final liqui dation further into the future than they have ever been. Had the two powers seized the custom houses and proceeded to collect duties on imports without further aggressiveness or violence their course would have met with general approval. But in the gratuitous acts of war of which they have been guilty, American opinion should give them—and will give them—no support. James J. Hill's gloomy view of the financial situation need not neces sarily alarm anyone. But it is always wise, following a prolonged period of prosperity, to make preparation for duller times.

NOT TO CULTIVATE IT IS TO MISS ONE OF THE KINDLY AND SOFT ENING INFLUENCES OF LIFE. ey President Kruger’s memoirs sound as if he thought John Bull had been acting a good deal like a ealf. \'4 Ever since Judge Sidemer, of St. Louis, officially ruled that a wife has the right to go through her husband’s trousers pockets and take therefrom what cash might be available for her houschold expenses, there seems to have been an increasing inclination on the part of the courts to surrender all the financial rights of the man who happens to have entered the married estate, The most recent development in thie line is found in a Malne decision, the essq being one at jssue between Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, of Portland. In the dead of night Mrs. Harrison had taken from under Mr. Harrison's pillow his pocketbook. Finding therein the sum total of $1,050, she appropriated $1,000 to her own use and left Mr. Harrison the $30 remaining. When brought into court on this charge the judge promptly decided that a wife cannot steal from her husband, and Mrs, Harrison was at once set free. This seems pretty rough on poor Harrison; but there's no help for it, apparently. He and his wife are one, and they jointly own the $1,050 that was once in his pocketbook. The fact that it appears, to Mr. Harrison's thinking, to be unequally divided, cuts no figure in the logical eyes of the law. How can a thing be divided among one? It might serve to divert Mr. Harri son's mind, and also to cultivate his philosophy, if he would calmly contem plate this phase of the situation which at present afflicts him. And anyway, as older husbands would tell him, Mr. Harrison is extremely ¢lucky to have $50 of his original $1,000 in his possession. His gentler half might just as safely have “swiped” the entire roll while she was about it. The fact that she did not indicates a certain moderation, and, perhaps, that she really cares something for Mr. Harrison—enough to give up $50 for his sake, at least. Since he can do nothing better, the husband should devote his mind ta thoughts of this nature. It's all that's let him. MISTAKES IN VENEZUELA. THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. WIVES TRIUMPHANT. 0 recent single year has shown such aetivity and N such marked improvement in the fleld of electricity as the one now closing. The records of the Patent Office show that the number of inventions has been unusual ly large. Prosperity has attended the manufacturers of elec tric installation of every kind to such a degree that nearly all are from three to six months behind their orders. Many new concerns have started up, and these that have been in telligenily managed have beéén svcecessful. In reviewing the progress of year the observer is im pressed withthe work done in the department of electric lighting. The best thought seems to have been dire ted to this channel, and the results that have been obtained have been eminently satisfactory. One of the most interesting of the new inventions is the vapor lamp developed by Peter Cooper Hewitt. It consists of a glass tube filled with vepor of mercury. When a current of electricity is passed through it, it becomes illuminated to an intensity and magnificence of light with which nothing except the liquid metal that flows from a furnace or the daz zling refulgence of lightning can be compared. One pe culiarity of the light from this lamp Is that it con‘ains ne red rays and is therefore more like moonlight than sunlight. If Mr. Hewitt succeed in remedying this defect he will be able to produce a light more nearly suggestive of sunlight. But even in its present condition the invention is of great commercial importance, although not adapted to general il luminating purposes. The light is peculiarly fitted for great workshops and manufactories where complex machinery and skilled labor are employed through the night. It is of spe cial advantage to draftsmen, accountants, proofrcaders, and others who are compelled to use their eyes steadily in artificial light. The light from the lamp is also admirably adapted for photographic work. Another improvement in the field of electrical illumina tion in 1902 was the introduction of the lamp invented by Prof. Walther Nernst, of Goettingen, five or six years ago. Lamps of this type have been in use in Europe for a n'm ber of years. and have ziven great satisfaction. But it is ‘only within the last year that the development of the Nernst lamp industry in the United*States has made much progress. Since its merits became widely known the business of the company controlling the lamp has increased rapidly, until now the output is very large. The quality of the light produced by the Nernst lamp {s the nearest approach to sunlight yet obtained from an artificial source. This fact was thoroughly demonstrated at the Pan-American Exposition, where an ingenious apparatps was installed for the purpose of enabling the observer to pote the different effects of various artificial lights upon colored materials. It was found that the distortion of color J. A. Jaggars, instructor in geology at Harvard University, has been making a study o! the outbreaks of Mont Pelee, and expresses the opinion that another eruption is due about December 20, Princess Victoria Louise, the only daughter of Emperor William, Is said to be her father's especial favorite. The Emperor observed on one occasion, “My daughte- never forgets that she is the daughter of an emperor, but she often’ forgets that her father is the emperor.” Apropos of the sensation which the operations of Dr. Lorenz have made, a ‘Scotchman recently said that that oper ‘ation was “‘as old as the hills.” He sald ‘that Prof. MacEwan, now Sir William MacEwan, of Glasglow, was straighten ing rickety bones by similar methods twenty years ago, and for this, and for ‘the discovery that a tumor on the brain frequently causes fits, he was made pres ident of the British Association.

And the rose was quenched by the pelt ing rain, But its sweet soul blossomed in scent again. And the sun sank down on the watching eye, But the sunset stayed behind in the sky. And the shell from the wave was torn apart, But it housed the sea’s song deep in its heart, J And the wind wae hushed in its skyey lair, But the echo roved in the upper air.

A peculiar feature of the Nernst lamp is that the element that becomes incandescent is almost an absolute non-conductor of electricity when cold, but when heated to a red heat it becomes an excellent conductor; econse quently means thust be provided for heating this element, called the glower, in distinction trom the ordinary lamp fila ment, as a means of starting the lamp. In the commercial form of lamp a spiral of platinum is mounted near the glower, and when the current is turned on it passes first through the spiral, bringing it to a red heat, which is con veyed to the glower. When the latter is sufficiently heated it automatically cuts out the current flowing through the spiral and takes i’ itself and thus becomes incandescent. The lamps are made with one, three, and six glowers, ac cording to the amount of light desired, each glower giving fifty candle power. Very striking improvements have been m Ye the past year in wireless telegraphy. On January 13 a banquet was given to Marconi by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers on his return from Newfoundland, where he had succeeded In reading the letter “S” sent from Poldhu, on the west coast of Cornwall, England, across the Atlantic. Mr. Marconi now claims to have transmitted comparatively long messages between Poldhu and the Newfoundland coast, and there seems to be little doubt remaining that wireless telegraphy will be commercially practicable in the near fu ture, A matter which interests electricians and promises to be of importance to the commercial world is the recent instal lation by Charles 8S. Bradley and Dimmitt R. Lovejoy, of New York, of a process for producing nitrogen compounds through the action of an electric are. The details of the in vention are of such a nature that they are mainly inter esting to electricians, but the results are of general import ance. For example, the process gives promise of producing fertilizer at a low cest, a matter which appeals to every iil ler of the soil. Many other uses of the products of the Bradley process are possible, and, altogether, the invention is looked upon as one of great scientific, if not commercial, value. New York city, during the past twelve months, has been the scene of one of the greatest electrical improvements of the year, the installation of an electric system on the elevited railway. The trains are now adequately lighted, heated, and propelled by electricity.

Dwindline Values. Statesmen and Their Ways. Teller Mav Not Return. The Republican leaders in Colorado are preparing to resort to what may be regarded as high-handed methods to ac complish the defeat of the Hon. Henry Moore Teller, whose term as Senator expires on March 4, and who is a can didate to succeed himself. The Repub lican politicians of the Centennial State have a deep-seated grievance against Senator Teller bYecause he left the Re publican party, with which he had long been identified, and united with the Democrats, and they are willing to go the limit to bring about his defeat. Chief among them is that debonair exstates man, the former Beau Brummel of the Senate, the Hon. Edward ©O. Wolcott. Wolcott, whose faultless apparel was a source ef daily amazement to his staid and sober colieagues, but the cbject of admiration to the yalleries—Wolcott, whose fame for having worn forty-eight different sets of trousers on as many consecutive days ii the Senate—is ex tremely anxious to be returned and given another opportunity to display his fine raiment and lurid oratory. When the Republican party in Colorado, following the lead of Senator Teller, moved over en masse into the Bryan camp on the silver issue, Wolcott refused to accom pany it, and was left with only a cor poral's guard. His action cost him his seat in the Senate. He held to the slen der thread of international bimetallism, and when it broke he still remained with his party, which has now, after having passed through a fitful fever of silver ism, regained partial power in the State. Wolcott Seeks Election. On the face of the returns the Demo crats have a majority in the Legislature of eight votes on joint ballot, because of the fact that there are nine more Democrats than Republicans in the sen ate. The house is, however, Republi can by ene majority. It is the purpose of these Republicans to take advantage of this faet and throw out the eleven Demccratic members from Arapahoe county, which includes Denver, and re place them with eleven Republicans, on the ground of frauds committed in the slum districts of the city. To do this they must disregard majorities rang ing from 2,300 to 2,500, but to defeat Teller a matter of 2,500 votes is a mere bagatelle. The plan is already laid. Sen ator Teller is, however, still immense ly popular with the people of the State, Should the scheme be carried out as to the Arapahoe delegation, the Democrats in the Senate threaten to unseat man for man, and if this is found impossi ble or impracticable, they will refuse to go into joint session, and the Legis lature would thus fail to elect. Then the new governor, a Republican, would appoint the Hon. Irving Howbart, a rich business man of Colorado Springs, ig noring the Hon. Edward O. Wolcott. Again the Senate would be called upen to determine whether or no it will stand by its precedents. Besides the well groomed Wolcott and Mr. Howbart, there are others who aspire to Sena tor Teller’s seat, among them the Hon. Frank C. Goudy, formerly Republican candidate for governor, and Judge Wal ter Dixon. So that, while the future is dark for Senator Teller, it is not quite all aglow with prospects for his former colleague, Mr. Wolcott. J. Adam Bede Is Coming. The Hon. J. Adam Bede, Representa tive-elect from the Zenith City of the Unsalted Seas, has heralded his return to Washington by an announcement that when he arrives here and is clothed with the carte blanche of a Minnesota Congressman he will seek to introduce an innovation in the publication of that venerable and esteeemed contemporary, the “Congressional Record.” The Hon. J. Adam, who is nothing if not unique in his thoughts and ideals, he purposes a somewhat radical departure in the policy SPOILING A FRESHMAN FEAST. When it comes to a matter of having fun with freshmen, it is evident that col lege sophomores are glad to sacrifice a deal of their own personal comfort in order that their traditional victims shall be uncomfortable. The following story from the “New York World" furnishes a case in point: Freshmen of Syracuse University were pre pared to sniff the savory odors of their annual feast at z= leading hotel here last night when a malodorous smell, compared with which a glue factory was aromatic, met them at the entrance to the banquet hall. The sophomores, plentifuliy supplied with carbon disulphide, were on hand to break up the festivities. They tried to throw the stuff on the arriv ing guests. The police, who were summoned, found the scent-laden sophomores the toughest propositions that they ever tackled. George Baker, of Buffalo, was arrested. A score of his classmates followed him to the station and bailed him out. The banquet was held under police protection. “LEGALLY AND CIVILLY DEAD.” There must be something almost un canny in the exnerience of finding one’s self “legally and civilly dead” and yet in ihe open world of living folk. As cording to a recent item in the *Phil adetphia Record,” this has been the ex perience of “Ed” Butler, the St." Louis “boss,” the story being as follows: Ed Butler announced today that he is going to test the decision of Judge O'Neil Ryan, in which he was declared to be “legally and civ illy dead.” Since Judge Ryan's decision Butler has been much inconvenienced in his business transactions, In the future he will have to pay ail his bills in the coin of the realm, as the hank where Butler had many dollars de posited refused to honor his check. Tatil Judge Ryan suspends the sentence, Butler was told, his check would not be cashed. PIE AND STEPMOTHER. All sorts of trouble have been caused by pie in this country, which leads the world in its fondness for the undigesti ble pastry, but the following item from the “New York American” shows us tha pie and the cruel stepmother in sinister conjunction: A divorce case has been settled in a Kokomo, Ind., court in which there are unusual charges. It was the case of Noah Loop vs. Catherine Loop, wealthy farmers. Both had been pre viously married and there were two sets of children. Two weeks ago, at the dinner table so the complaint alleges, a son of the plaintiff was helping himself to the biggest piece of pie, when the stepmother struck him and broke his are, she wanting the piece for her own child. Mr. Loop immediately applied for di vorce. The decree was granted by Judge Har Se today, but the woman was given $400 ali wony. of that conservative daily organ o! the Senate and House of Representatives, The Hon. J. Adam, having had a meteoric career in journalism, believes that the venerable “Record” would be more attractive to its readers and be able to acquire a larger circulation if it were to be lliustrated—say to print the pictures of the gentlemen who are now contributing to its pages nothing more pleasing than solid reading matter. Forgetful of the fart that oot évery member of Congress is so handsome and go.) to look upon as himself, the Hon. J. Adam would place above every speech printed a half-tone cut of the statesman delivering it. Unmindful alse is the Hon. J. Adam that such a practice would be too severe a draft upon the photographers ‘of Nashvi.ie, Tenn. to suppiy the publisher of the “Record” with likenesses of the seraphic counte nance of tha distinguished statesman who represents them upon the floor of the House and is now and then heard in the course of debate.

Adam Bede must take into consideration before he essays (0 carry into effect hig brilliant scheme of publishing an illustrated. “Congressional Record.” 8:11, this enterprising em bryo statesman is riot a man to be balk ed or discouraged by obstacles. Once he conceives a plan he carries it into exe cution, and hence it may be necessary for Congress at its next session to make provision for the purchose of a photo engraving plant. The Hon. J. Adam Bede may be remembered as the man who, while living in Washington, stroiled down one fine day to the Penasylvania Avenue bridge and looking across the placid waters of the Eastern Branch be held the somnolent suburb of Anacostia peacefully nestling beneath the sylvan foothills of Prince George county, and believing it to %e the site of a future metropolis decided to establish there a newspaper. He did so, but soon found that the Anacostians and their colored neighbors of Hillsdale were too slow for his progressive spirit, and when pext heard of J. Adam Bede was in Duluth, from whence he is to return to Wash ington, not as the publisher of an ob scure weekly on the banks of the East ern Branch, but to be the managing editor in Congress of the “Congressional Record.” A Disappearing Factor. The sugar beet is rapidly disappear ing as a political factor. In a few weeks it will not be heard of. The makers of beet sugar in Michigan and Nebraska will have conferences within the next ten days or a fortnight, and decide that their business will not be injured materi ally by the 20 per cent reduction which the Cuban treaty will propose. When this news reaches the Senators and Rep~ resentatives interested, they will have no further excuse for Keeping up the fight, and will be glad of the chance of backing out. The President is very pop ular in these sugar beet Stases, and it is not considered good manners to per sistently oppose the things he wants, Elkins Left Alone. Those who oppose reciprocity on prin ciple will be in something of a fix. Sen ator Elkins said he cared nothing about the sugar beet, but was interested in West Virginia lumber. He said that if the United States could “recipross” on sugar with Cubz it would do the same thing with Tz2+"2 on lumber. To look out for his lumber he joined with Sen ator Burrows to fight Cuban reciprocity. As a matter of fact, if the Michigan sugar beet producers become satisfied, Senator Burrows will no longer care anything specially about the treaty. Sen ator Elkins will doubtless find so many deserters that he will be left almost alone. As tending to make things lively be tween the champions of flesh diet and vegetarianism, respectively, the follow ing bit of gossip from the “Philadel phia Press” may serve its purpose: Congressman “Dave” Mercer of Nebraska, big, brawny, and full-blooded, was with a high-Browed, pale-faced New Ee cereals,” suggested “Here is a Sine. menu of the New Englander, “*All right,” nded Mr. Mercer. “You take the new cereal and I will take the whisk broom. Each is equally nutritious to a man raised on Western beef.” MR. WELLINGTON’'S ADMIRER. Senator Wellington at present seems to be of the opinion that admiration is the last thing in the world he ought to expect. The following story from the “Philadelphia Press” {illustrates the point: Senator Wellington of Maryland has a terious admirer. He is about as much prised that anyone should single him out as objet of admiration as is anyone who watched his erratic political course. Last when he sat down to his desk he f a bunch of American beauty roses. No card companied the gifs.

King Edward's Plea for Privacy Likely to Make H Him Unpopul Unpopular—Other Sovereigns Who Have Suffered From the Same Cause-—The City 0 of Geneva Has Compromised With the Counts

Val Zand NE Cn) Re, a ea JR a GE King Edward's plea for privacy, while all very well in the case of an ordinary citizen, is bad policy in the case of a monarch. The possession of a crown en tails many disadvantages that do not fall to the share’ of people of less ex alted rank. Among these is the fierce glare of publicity that beats about the throne and upon the g¢ccupants of the latter. In these days of democratic progress and of growth of the sentiment of civic equality, it is all important to sovereigns that they should rcinain in touch with their subjects. and that nothing should be done to impair the intimacy and the friendly feeling between the ruler and kis lieges. The efforts of royalty to en viron themselves with privacy destroy this sympathy between crown and people, and have the effect of estranging the lat ter from the former. Even the worst faults of King George IV while prince regent were regarded with a certain amount of indulgence be cause of tne fact that he lived in Lon don in the midst of his people and in touch with the latter. But when he be came King, and that mania for privacy came upon him which led him to with raw completely from public gaze at Windsor, he became ip course of time an object of such bitter execration that when he died there was not merely a manifest sentiment of popular relief, but actually of public rejoicing. Queen Victoria's popularity was never at so low an ebb as during the first ten or fifteen years of her widowhood, when she withdrew altogether from public gaze. It was never so great as during the closing years of her relgn, when she frequently and repeatedly showed her sell in public, even at the cost of con siderable inconvenience and even suffer. pa— The extraordinary popularity of old Emperor William of Germany, which led his people to almost worship him as a hero, was due to the utter absence of privacy of his life and to the free and unrestricied manner in which he min gled with his people. Those who visited Berlin during his lifetime may recall DOINGS OF A DAY IN THE E WORLD OF SOCIETY

Way Wilk ne sw ccie. Denmark is the most democratic king dom in Europe, and there is no country where socialism has so strong a foot hold. Yet it is doubtful whether there is any monarch who is more beloved by all classes of his people than King Christian, no matter what their politi cal doctrines or sentiments. This is due to the way in which he mingles with them, and to the complete absence of nll privacy of his family life, in the foys and sorrows of which hiz people at large share as in no other land of Europe. Every day he may be seen strolling about the streets of his capital, escorted only by one or two big dogs, and ex changing friendly words of greeting ‘with high and low alike, often entering into long conversations with workingmen and with peasants In a thoroughly free and unaffected manner. It is the same with Emperor Francis Joseph in Austria and in Hungary, where, In spite of the bitter animosity of political factions toward the govern ment, his personal popularity remains unimpaired, and constitutes, indeed, the bond that unites all the otherwise dis cordant sixteen races and nationalities subject to his rule. This, I think, wili g0 to show that King Bdward is Wrong in insisting upon the enjoyment of that privacy which is accorded to ordinary citizens. One of the reasons of his amazing popularity while Prince of Wales was precisely the fact that be lived among the people, and was more closely in touch with them and with all classes of the popu lation than any member of his house.

After nearly thirty years of litigation the city of Geneva has at length con sented to a compromise with the claim ants to the property of the so-called “Diamond Duke” of Brunswick, who on his death af Geneva bequeathed his vast property to that city. The claimants are the Counts de Civry, who for a long time past have led a sort of hand to mouth existence at Paris, occasionally engaged in newspaper work, and were imple ited in the legal proceedings in stituted by the French authorities at Paris in order to bring to punishment hat gang of blackmailers and parasites who had extorted such vast sums from little Max Lebaudy, surnamed “Le Petit Sucrier,” owing to the fact that his mil lions were derived from the great Le bauiv suga: refineries, Th» diamond Duke Charles of Bruns wick, it may be remembered, was turned out of his duchy and deposed by his sub Jects, being succeeded by his younger brother, Willlam, the late Duke of Brunswick. Charles was of such an ig noble character that life for him in Ger many and in England, where he had re celved his education under the personal guardianship of King George IV, was rendered lmpossible by the social ostra cism to which he was subjected. Even in Peris his frightful vices aroused the disgust of the easygoing Napoleon III, and he was forced ultimately to seek refuge with his diamonds and his ninety wigs and his painted and enameled cheeks and dyed whiskers in Geneva, where he dfed in the odor, not of sanc tity, but of infamy. Prior to his deposition Duke Charles contracted what according to some was merely a lialson, and according to oth ers a marriage with the Hon.

There is no unwillingness oa Mme, Patti's part to take another turn around the United States circle again. Some amusement was caused in Lon don last year at a naive sugzestion of Baron Cederstrom, her good-looking voung Swedish husband, who exclaimed delightedly to an agent: “Let us arrange a tour next season, sir, for madam. It is a good idea; mag nificent! For we shall make it assuredly successful by announcing that ‘t is a farewell tour!" It was with the greatest dificuity that the business man assured the baron that the idea was by no means novel. In fact, he couched his rejection of the notion in the form of a statistical refer ence to the relative ages of madam aud the baron. SUPREME COURT TO ADIOURN. Chief Justice Fuller, of the Supreme Ceurt of the United States, announced to the bar of that body yesterday that the court wil adjourn for period of two woeks, beginning December 22. VISITED SUPREME COURT. Justice Clark, of the supreme court of Tasmania, was an interested spectator in the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday. He was escorted to the Capitol by Chief Justice Fuller, and cccupied a seat among its members. sen, In the suburbs of the little capital of the duchy, and not a day was allowed to pass without the duke riding out to visit her. In co®rse of time Miss Col ville gave birth to a little girl, who was duly baptized and recognized by the duke as his daughter. But this, Instead of cementing the af fection, seemed to have the result of estranging the duke from Miss Colville, and after several violent qaurrels she returned to England, leaving the little girl under the care of the duke. When the latter was deposed and driven out of the country by his subjeots he took the httle girl with him, and she lived with him on the banks of the Seine until she incurred his anger by falling in love and marrfing In deflance of hig wishes a Frenchman, a Comte de Civry. The duke never relented, and when he died it was discovered, as I have stated above, that he had left his enormous fortune, including his unrivaled collec tion of precious stones and his wigs, to the city of Geneva. The Countess de Civry at once set up a clalm against the estate, the legal pro ceedings dragged along in the courts of Germany, France, and Switzerland until the death of the countess, when they were taken up by her sons, the two now surviving Counts de Civry. There have been all sorts of charges of forgery of important documents, of con spiracy, of unjust influencing of judicial decisions, and several times the Counts de Clvry have got themselves into seri ous trouble for having borrowed money on the strength of their pretensions, it being claimed by their creditors that the latter were false. But after all there is no doubt that they are the legitimate issue of the Countess de Civry, and that she, in turn, was the daughter, either legitimate or {llegitimate, of the *‘Dia mond” Duke of Brunswick. That is why the city of Geneva has at length, after thirty years, consented to effect a com promise “with them, by virtue of which they will receive a relatively small amount of the fortune which they claim, but which will place them beyond want.

o i“ J

Cister of General Grant Predicted the Fatality. NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Mrs. Mary Grant Cramer, a sister of former Presi deni Grant, who lives witn her sister, Mrs. Virginia Grant Corbin, at 70 Lenox Avenue, East Orange, N. J., says the death of Mrs. Julia Dent Grant was foretold to her in a dream on the night of December 6. “My dream was exceedingly vivid,” said she yesterday. “I thought that Mrs. Grant came to my bedside and, placing her hand or my shoulder, said, impres sively, ‘Mary, I have come to talk with you and to say good-by, because I am not going to be with you very much lon ger.’ After relating her vision at the break fast table the next morning, to Mrs. Cra mer’s surprise, a friend of the family, Mrs. Katherine Lawrence, who was vis iting her at the time, said she, too, had had a singular dream. Mrs. Lawrence said that she dreamed that she, with Mrs. Cramer and Mrs. Corbin, stood in the portal of General Grant's tomb, on Riverside Drive, New York. and that there appeared tc be a large crowd outside, drawn up in two lines, awaiting the arrival of a proces sion. None of those at the table attachsd much significance to the dreams at ths time, because Mrs. Grant's illness wes not thought to be serious. But the dreams were vividly recalled yesterday, when the family read the news of the death of Mrs. Grant ia the newspapers. Later a telegram announcing it was re ceived from Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris. Mrs. Lawrence is inclined to attach importance to her dream because of the fact that Mrs. Grant is to be laid at rast beside her husband, “INSURGENTS” EXPELLED Final disposition of the cases of the three “insurgents” who have caused much friction in the Hancock Regiment, No. 1, Union Veterans’ Union, was made at a meeting of that organization last night.

MARTIN HARVEY'S NOTABLE ACTING AT THE COLUMBIA Young Englishman Appears in “The Only Way” With Artistic Success—Origin ated the Role Three Years Ago. by appearing last night at the Columbia Theater in “The Only, Way.” His first] performance here was substantially an {naugural, his acting being so thor-| oughly appropriate to the role of Sya- ney Carton, so completely consistent, and so nobly artistic, as to establish Lim high in Washington favor in one night. He and his admirable company were greeted by rather a small audi-| ence, but the assembly was distinguish- ed—it included a large party from the Pritish embassy and many other POP gons of fashion—and it atoned in en thusiasm for its lack of number. The favorable report which those persons] are, no doubt, now circulating will] surely obtain for this excellent organi- gation a more commensurate attendance at its subsequent performances. “The Only Way” is now familiar to] nearly all American playgoers as a dramatization of Dickens’ widely read and universally beloved “A Tale of Two Cities.” This version of the novel is fsom the pen of the Rev. Freeman Wills, and has been previously pre sented here by Henry Miller and a ca pable American company. Two other presentations of the same scenes have been made in Washington—a competent performance of “Sydney Carton” by Thomas Shea, and a -presentment of still another version by a stock company. It is assured, therefore, the city is fully familiar with the events from which the play is made up, and that any interest to be manifested in this last pres entation depends rather on the actors and investiture than on interest in the drama. In the course of a brief speech last night, Mr. Harvey referred with much courtesy to Mr. Miller's produe tion of the play, saying that such a re ception from a community which had viewed and enjoyed the latter's acting jn the same role was a high compli ment, as, indeed, it was. It should be noted, however, that Mr. Harvey origi nated the role, and in ove performance made both the play and himself famous. A comparison of these productions is perhaps inevitable, but it should not preclude the general statement that (his performance must surely have aroused the city to great enthusiasm had it been the first local presentation of “The Only Way,” and that it is abundantly easy to understand Mr. Harvey's instant success in the role. The play is bright with color, tense in plot, vibrant with emotion, brilliant in dialogue, redolent with appeals to manly and noble sym pathy, and wondrously refreshing in spirit and tone in this age of anaemic hero ines and jackass heroes. The gcenery is a little threadbare (it has doubtless been used many hundreds of timgs), dut it is entirély suffeient. The company is =o generally capable that the performance must long remain a pleasant memory for its unbroken smoothness and con sistent strength. Several of the sup porting actors may be expected (0 re turn as stars, as it is now the fashion to import all the capable actors of for eign countries, and send away near'y all the talented actors of America—pot ably Wiilfam Haviland, wis appears as Ernest Defarge and Jean De arge, dual roles, and acts with singular power and skill, and Fred Wright, sr., vhose acting as Dr. Manette is a delight to the eye and a pleasure to the understanding. More extensive advertising would give the scene of Darnay’s trial, in which the entire cast appears, as marked an in terest and as wide a celebrity as any mob scene which has been produced in Washington in recent years. Mr. Harvey Is abundan*ly equipped for his work. He is young, handsome, earn est, intelligent, studious and artistic and all of these qualities manifest them. selves in Iris acting. He is essentially naturalistic. It may be doubted whether any other actor who has appeared locally in similar roles could have so closel reproduced his model. He embodies the Sydney Carton of Dickens-—-purposeless careless, self-oblivious, drunken, irrever. ent, low in every thing save only the high ideal of his love for Lucy Manet and his gentleness with the fallen an¢ depraved. It is in the end a lovable char. ge€ter, but never a beautiful one. Mr. Miller and Mr. Shea are more 4dealis ic. The last named sacrifices con. sistency for dramatic climaxes only, bu Mr. Miller so far adapted the characte: to bis own as to invest with a magnet §sm, a spirit, an ideality almost, whic lifted it entirely without the scope o the novel but made a correspondingl; deeper impression on the sensibilitie of his audiences. In the day of Wallack, Gilbert, th elder Salvini and the great actors Germany and France the standard o high histrionic art was the complete ef facement of the actor's personality fo the creation of the new perscnalities de manded by different roles. Today seems to be the attainment of emotiona force mere’7. The old standard produce such actors as Irving, Coquelin, Drew Modjeska, Mansfield, Florence, and Ad Rehan. The new develops such as Na Goodwin. Stuart Robson, Henry Mille: Viola Allen, Virginia Harned, Mr Campbell and Mrs, Carter. To say ths Mr. Harvey belongs with the forme group is to grant him a title “hich car pot be lightly borne.

A. a career of much greaior power, uteful ness and fame, A.D. A. “The Wilderness” at the National. In the hands of mediocre actors H. V. Esmond’s latest play, “The Wilderness,” would be as uninteresting a bit of stage work as it is conceivable intelligent theatergoers would patronize. But presented by Charles Frohman's ad mirable Empire Theater stock company there is no reason why the box office receipts at the National this week should not be large. Mr. Esmond has so illogically mixed his tragedy and comedy that one won ders which of these elements dominated his purpose when he conceived the piece. Withal, however, he has so con structed it as to furnish first-rate ¢p portunities for two persons, who, of course, are the leading man and lead ing woman. The other characters in the play afford very poor vehicles for an exhibition of artistic temperament or attainment. The story is old-—almost threadbare. It deals with the ¢velop ‘ment of 2 woman's affections an. shows the change from a girl's fickleness to the constancy of matured womanhcod. As this theme is always interesting in spite of its banality, it is supposed Mr. Esmond wrote “The Wilderness” more with a view of adding to his bank ac count than to his fame as a playwright. Miss Margaret Anglin and Charles Richman rescued the play at the Na tional last night from utter fallure by their splendid work. And work it must be to them, too, because of the paucity of resources placed at their command by the author. The audience, which was a small one because of the inclement weather, applauded them liberally, the more so obviously for the reason that the audience instinctively recognized the burdens under which Miss Anglin and Mr. Richman labored. Miss Anglin, by the way, appears to have devoted her self earnestly and with good effect since she was last in Washington to a study of the Duse methods. There is now in her work an unmistakable flavor of the great Italian woman's thought and ideals. Mr Richman is as polished and withal as vigorous as of old. The other members of the cast acquit Howard Thorne, a Harvard student, has been adopted by Mr. Undercliff, of Undercliff Monckton, Boston shipping merchants, his own father, Edgar Thorne, the intimate friend of Mr. Undercliff and confidential clerk of the firm, having disappeared twenty years before, unjustly ed of having taken a e containing ,000 from the wault. rape from San Francisco on the ship Juan Fernan dez, which is never heard from in.

After selling some pearls and a draft, the man returned alone to his Howard sails on the Naida for New Zealand to hunt for his father. Mr. Undercliff turns over to him for expenses the original $5,000 package. The fact that it contains a bill of a later date than his father’s disappearance causes Howard to believe his father's ruin was deliberately planned by Mr. Monckton, who had been his unsuccessful! rival in love. The second mate of the Naida is Sydney Lati mer, the captain's handsome and highly edu cated daughter. Howard knocks down a sailor, Atwell, who is insubordinate to her, and incurs his enmity. He finds on board an other sailor, Jessop, the man rescued by his The Towering Cliff. cé UTINY, Captain Latimer!” roared Mr. Pepper, seeing his superior, with the cook and Thorne, appear at the torecastle door. ‘The scoundrels refuse to work the pumps.” “We've jerked these old pump brakes long enough,” cried Atwell. “We'll do it no longer.” “An’ right ye are, mate!” growled one of his backers. “Let the old tub sink.” “We'll take ‘o the boats an’ let her go down an be hanged to her!” chimed in a third. The men were in earnest, and Zlow ered defiantly at their officers. “Fools!” shouted the captain, beside himself with wrath, “If there is a leak the brig will sink while you're monkey ing this way.” ““Mebbe we are fools,” returned At well. “But we ain’t goin’ to be starved avd kep at those pump brakes all the

time.” “Don’t you see I'm gettin’ the engine fired up, you fellows?’ demanded Pepper, striving to speak pacifically. “We'll soon couple her onto the pumps.” “To blazes with your engine!” was At well’s comment, “We've struck work, ‘me an’ my mates, an’ that settles it.” Captain Latimer started aft. “Hold on there!” called out Atwell. “Stay forward! We've got ye separate, an’ we mean to keep ye so. Get back into the fo'c'stle, al! three of you!" He drew a big revolver from his breast and covered the captain and his ‘two companions. At the signal ever) man among the mutinous crew brought out some sort of a weapon. There were three or four pistols besides Atwell's. “I'm out of it!" groaned Latimer. “My revolver is in my cabin.” Wipe is mine,” said Thorne. “We'd bet ter get under cover.” Tonio had already dodged the fore. castie steps again. “Jet 'em have the deck, cap'a!’ outed Mr. Sessions. “We'll hold the bin!"

An excellent program, va ried in its features, pleased the patrons, who occupied almost avery available bit of space. There was hardly a weak fea ture to mar the evening's entertainment. The Brothers Martine were accorded plenty of applause on their appearance in “The Rebounding Tables” a elaver acrobatic turn which pleased. Tom Brown and Edythe Navarre introduced a novel sketch in ‘“The Minstrel and the Chinese Maiden.” They were well re ceived. “The Baron's Love,” in which Clay Clement and company appeared, proved a theatrical mor sel that more than satisfied the audience. Mr. Clement, with dialect that any son of the Fatherland night be proud of, earned the reception accorded him. The Pantzer Trio, in “A Gymuast’s Parlor Amusement,” were voted excellent entertainers. Their work is clever and ‘exceedingly difficult. Mamie Remington introduced her four pickaninnies, quartet that would be hard to beat. ‘They pleased everyone immensel;, and ‘were encored time and again.

Both men admire Sydney, but Howard, umable to conceal his aversion to Carter, is regarded by her as rude and preju diced. Carter is insolent to Howard in the cabin after dinner one day, and they come to blows. This and the courtesy which Sydney exhibits to young Monckton, thereby arousing Howard's ousy, cause him to shun his as sociates in the cabin. He learns, through Jes sop, of discontent among the crew, fomented by Atwell. They meet heavy weather, the brig springs a leak, and the pumps are manned. The vessel is short handed, and Howard turns to and helps. Ryder tharks him, but a chance allusion to Monckton causes him to make a sneering remark and go below. Sydney, grieved, goes to her cabin. Carter has been getting liquor from Atwell, and Howard finds him one day almost in a de lrium of fear. Jessop throws out dark hints of trouble. More stormy weather drives the belg the vicinity of the island where Howard bel he will get trace of his father. He asks Captain Latimer to sail north a day or two in search of it. Curter attempts to prevent it, but, word coming that the brig is leaking dangerously, all jump to the pumps. Atwel objects, and is floored by Latimer. Howard tells the captain that Atwell has been Supplying the crew and Carter Monckton with liquor They search the forecastle, but find nothing Coming out, they see the first and third mate threatened by the crew, while a fierce storm cloud is rapidly approaching over the water. He and Pepper made a dash for the forward companionway and dived below. At the same moment Thorne saw Miss Latimer at the galley dcor. Monckton was with her. “There's the gal!” yelled Atwell, catching sight of the brig's second mate. “Drive her into the cabin. We want the galley.” But as he spoke the galley door was slammed to and fastened. “She's got my revolver!” exclaimed Captain Latimer, in delight. “They'll not get into that galley in a hurry. We'll starve ‘em till they'll be glad to come to terms.” He and Thorne followed "Tonio into the forecastle. Thorne stopped to fasten the door. The slide in the deck was already closed, and "Tonio bolted ft. “They'll take off a hatch and get to the stores,” suggested the passenger, in response to the captain’s last remark. “They won't if Sydney keeps her wits about her, an’ I reckon she will,” re plied the captain, with pride. “The gal ley opens into the hold. She can keep any of those scamps from getting down by the hatches. The galley can be reached from the cabin, too. The mates can relieve her. They'll be all right, and if we had some sort of a shooting iron we'd be all right, too.” Thorne thought of the strange cloud he had seen rolling up from the south and wondered what would happen when that struck the brig. ’Tonlo climbed upor the mess chest to light the swinging lamp, but Captain Latimer bade him le it alone, “It's dark in here. If we light tha thing those wretches can come along pry aside that shutter an’ pick us of if they're so. minded.” Just then there was a fusillade o shots on deck. The captaln groane« aloud.

Good Vaudeville at Chase's. than did the biograph pictures of a trip across the Atlantic. In the Audience were many who had enjoy2d the trip in reality, and the many familiar Scenes won their hearty applause. The view in which the waves dash over the S. S. Kaiser Wilhelm in midocean is a won derful piece of photography. Lavinia Shannon at the Lafayette. The nomad existence led by theatri cal stars who play no extended engage ments in New York city does not en tirely preclude the idea of a permanent habitation, and Lavinia Shannon, al though she has not performed in Wash ington for years, is still a dweller in the Capital City. They were home folks, therefore, who attended the Lafayette last night, de spite the rain, to view the /irst pres entation here of Kremer's “Beyond Par don,” and Miss Shannon's impersonation of a trying role. They were home folks who gave her an ovation at the close of each act, and much hearty applause in the course of the play, and after the third act it was her fellow-townsmen who brought her before the feotlights again and again and finally ~ompelled her to recognize their favor and the gift of several bouquets in an embar rassed speech of barely a dozen halting words. A shower of big scarlet American Beauty roses was taken to Miss Shan non upon the stage by a representative of the Washington Lodge of Elks, who told her how dear she wus to that body, and how much the Elks owed her for frequent responses to their calls upon her services. Miss Shannon scarcely knew in what words to acknowledge the gift, she said in her short spee#h, ang looked the surprise which she said she feit. Thanks to her nudience, and to those who had given flowers, con cluded her efforts as a curtain orator. Each of the four acts of the play displayed Miss Shannon in a new gown, each elegant, elaborate, expensive. Her fellow Washingtonians of her own sex will have an opportunity to inspect these gowns upon the stage at the close of Wednesday's matinee performance, when, incidentally, Miss Shannon will hold a reception to her many friends. While Miss Shannon is shaking hands with her guests lay hgures will be ¢n display gowned in her costumes, “Beyond Pardon,” whatever lassifica tion its playwright would assign to it, is a melodrama with many impossible situations and a plot broad in its sug gestion of the unclean. The impersona tor of the chief character alone redeems his vast surprise a narrow door swung slowly open. “What the mischief’'s that?" shouted Captain Latimer, while "Tonlo uttered a howl of terror. Somebody stood at the door with a lan tern. “Come this way,” whispered the new comer hoarsely. “You haven't a moment ‘to lose. They are attacking the galley, sir.” It was Carter Monckton. “How did you get here? What sort of deviltry is this?’ gasped. the captain. He snatched the lantern from Monck ton's grasp and examined the secret door. ““A neat job of jolner’s work, indeed!" he exclaimed. “Hung on leather hinges. Nobody’'d notice the crack in this dark corner. What do you know about this, cook?” sw’'ar to goodness, Massa Latimer, I nebber know'd nottin’ erbout it,” de clared "Toaio. “This is some of Atwell’'s work,” said the captapm. “But how did you know about it?” He turned upon Monckton with bla;: ing eyes and seized him roughly by th: shoulder, Thorne, although intensely interes.ed in what was going on beside him, wag also aware that something of scricus import was taking place on deck. Tue firing had ceased. There were shouts of command and the tread of hurrying feot “Them debbles are lowerin’ de boats an’ leabing’ us, Cap'n Latimer!" cried "Tonto, rushing to the door. As he"spoke the brig seemed to strike some obstruction and she guivered from bow to stern. “She's struck a reef!” e-~lalmed the captain, his face paling. “No, no!” shouted Thorne, as "Tonic flung open the door. “It's the storm. saw it coming up.” The wind was shrieking like pack of fends through the writhing spars and rigging, and the sea all about the bris was whipped to foam. It was Impossible Ito see half a cable's length beyond the rail. “A typhoon!" roared Captain Latime: as he sprang past the cook to the deck Atwell was yelling orders like a mad. |man. Such salls as had been sprea when the tempest struck had been tor: fromr their bolts in a Jash. But the ex. mate was doing what he could to righ the laboring brig. She lay over. on he side till the sea ran over her rail. At the wheel stood Tom Shields and Jessop hanging to the spokes for dear life.

The sailor who, a few minutes before, were carrying things with such a high hand, now cluny to the shrouds with fear-stricken faces Latimer brushed the impotent Atwel aside. He seized a battered trumpe from beneath the quarter rail and shout ed his orders through It. Never did men spring more willingl: to obey him. "Tonio and Thorne laid hol f|of the ropes with the others. It was stupendous battle, but at last, still stag gering unsteadily under the force of th wind, the old ‘Nalda swung around an began to forge ahead before the gale But she wallowed low in the heavy seas Thorne tried the well. As near as he could judge the water had gained near], two feet. He ran and told the captain. it as a spectacle worth seeing. Miss Shannon takes the part of an erstwhile runaway daughter of a navy chaplain, who has returned home as a ‘amous ac tress, and been pardoned. The period of her absence from home conceals a dark secret which, with poor stage craft, is made the motive of the play. The partial revelation of this secret to her father brings out vendetta characteris tics more befitting a bandit than a clergyman. Miss Shannon is vivacious and grace ful as the bizarre actress with a past. She holds the center of the stage throughout the four acts, and is clever enough to make the spectator overlook many shortcomings in the play. Of her support, the part of the former lover who deserted her is performed by Charles HH. Stevens, who enjoys or adopts he dark coloring of the time honored villain, and many of his arch poses. In the third act Miss Louise Lewis, assigned the role of a widow of uncertain age, is given opportunity to ¢isplay her vocal powers. Her singing of “Coming Through the Rye” with “Annie Laurle” and “Indiana’ as encores, earned her the greatest ap plause accorded a secondary part. Virtue triumphs with the descent of the curtain, as in all melodramas. “A Montana Outlaw” at thé Academy Patrons of the Academy of Music re ceived with enthusiasm “A Montana Outlaw” at its Initial performance last night. The play has a pretty plot and its authors have invested it with scenes and climaxes which evoke from the audience storms, even whirlwinds, of ap plause. Judged by lis eflect on the people who heard it last night, “The Montana Outlaw” is a pronounced success. The theatergoer of wide experience, however, would distinctly temper his ap proval of the play, for there is rather to6 much horse play and flashing of silver-mounted revolvers, even for a Wild West melodrama. The story of Irene LeGrand's fidelity to her childhood lover and the trials of her aged father, hunted by outlaws, give a deeply pathetic color to the play, which in the minds of the authors re quired a “plantation nigger,” a stalwart Irish widow and a bum lawyer to re lieve, Suffice it to say that the comedy clement is not very srccessful. The climaxes are developed well and involve a stage coach “hold up,” several dashes upon the stage by “Jack the Buster” on horseback, and a genuine Montana hang ing, interrupted in the nick of time by a fusiilade which scatters the regulators, “Knock on the cabin door ard tell the mates what's happened,” he said. “Then, for God's sake, Mr. Thorn, take a look at my little girl! See what's happenew 70 her.” ‘Thorne hurried to the cabin wad knocked on the door. “Keep away from here, you villains!” he heard Mr. Sessions say. “I'm going to shoot.” “Don’t do it!” cried Thorne quickly. “The captain’: got control of the deck again. Come out.” Sessions and Pepper at once appeared, both fully armed. ’Tonio was building another fire undgr the boiler of the en gine, a wave which had boarded the brig having put the first out. “You villains keep forward of the mast there,” Captain Latimer commanded, addressing the cowed crew. “Don’t one of you come aft unless you are told. Jessop, you and Shields remsin at the wheel.” Thorne dashed below, and after arm ing himself in his stateroom went for ward to the gallery. He found Sydney on guard with a big “bull dog" revolver and a loaded cane. She was pale, but calm. “Is father hurt?’ were her first words. “Not at all,” Thorne assured her. "He bzs control of the deck again. ile feared something had happened to you." “No, ro,” she said, bastily. “I am all right. But I am worried for Mr. Monck ton. He vent into the hold, saying that he thought he could reach you in the forecastle by climbing over the cargo. Have you seen him? “He 1s safe,” replied Thorne, short ly. “You had better go to your cabin now, 1 think, Miss Latimer. Jt is simply an armistice between the crew and the officers. Trouble may break out again at any moment.” “You forget that I am an officer also,” she said coldly. She threw cpen the galley door and stepped out upon the deck. Thorne followed her. The worst of the tempes: seemed to have passed, but the wind still blew strongly from the south Aloft the rigging of the brig was 3 mass of broken and twisted cables Half the lichter spars had been blowr away, and the top of the foremast was broken short off. The Naida labored fearfully im the waves, which were beginning to ru: very high. It needed little sea lore t« nusure Thorne that the craft was in [very bad way indeed. The sailors, al but Jessop and his chum, Tom Shields had disappeared. “Where is Mr. Monckton, father? asked Sydney, the instant she reaches his side. “I dor't know,” returned the captain “He was in the forecastle the last {saw of nim.

The entertainers were J. H. Barnes’ Dainty Paree Burlesquers and altogether they fulfilled the expectations of the audience. They were given pro portionately generous and hearty ap plause, The program was in three parts: “A Night at the Waldrough,” a comedy sa tire in one act; ‘Paris Upside Down,” a farce burlesque in three acts, and rov eral good specialty acts. Miss May Booth as “Count Nothing Much” was the central figure in “A Night at the Waidrough” and was well assisted by “Mr.” Owley as Captain Jinks, U. S. A; J. Wesley Jgek, a bluff million aire, and Edward O’Brien, his German pal. Miss Booth as Mme, Mary Lush, a lady of hilarity, was alse the leader in turning “Paris upside down.” The cos tumes are pretty and the girls young and shapely. The specialists were Aleene. and Hamilton, Mile.

Those who made merry in lead ing parts were: Lou Harvey in Hebrew character, and Joe Palmer, his German companion; Mjsses Grace Barrom, Ade lina Roatinna, Ida Walling, Lea How ard, Nellie Burt, and Mona Wynne. A strong ollo was presented hHerweeon the company numbers. One of its top liners was Coleman's Dog and Cat Circus. 7ae animals went through ail sorts of evolutions and in the perform ance of their various tricks displayed an aimost human intelligence. A pleas ing feature of the ollo was the singing of Miss Adelina Roatinna. Her numer: ous songs were well received.

West as a “Musical Brownie,” performs upon all sorts of in struments cleverly. Second Peabody Concert. ~The second of the season's Peabody remcerts was givem last night in the ball room of the New Willard by Ernest Hutcheson, pianist. That the program had been selected with care was evident as all the composers were famed music mastersand the compositions representa tive of the schools to which they be longed. Many of the latter are so weil known to music students that thejr an alysis is necessary only as 1.~ as Mr. Hu cheson’s reading of them is con cersed, Mr. Hutcheson is a comparative stranger to Washingtonians, but was ac corded a cordial greeting last night. His audience was rather small, but appreci ative. After his first number he was wholly at ease and read the program with eare and conscientiousness, In selections by Chopin, Eugen D’Al bert, and cne of his own compositions the pianist was more at his ease than with Wagner, Beethoven, and Bach. The organ prelude and fugue in A minor, transcribed by Liszt, served as the open ing number. In this Mr. Hutcheson was harsh, and his use of the pedals tended to blur his reading. Bach, more over, lacked precision. Bach, however, {is a succession of intricacies and prob lems not easy to solve, and his com positions present a continuance of diffi cult and peculiarly constructed phrases which try the capabilities of even more experienced musicians than Mr. Hutche son.

The growth, "prosperity and improve ment of Washington was the topic of an address by Jechn T. Doyle, secretary of the Civil Service Commission, last night before the members of the Unity Club, at their meeting at the Riggs House. The development of government and its centralization of administration he mentioned as among the chief factors of the city’s growth and prosperity, but added that it was also essential to draw to ‘the national I==isr the “leisure classes.” Mr. Doyle sald in part: A Sica of Power “The seal ci the national government is the outward and visible sign of the power and significance of the nation. While this is peculiarly true of ancieft capitals—such as’ Athens and Rome—it is also true in a degree of Paris and Washington. No American can look upen the eapital of this country without an increase of interest and affection for the national institutions, just as no Eng lishmen may visit Westminster Abbey, or a Frenchman Paris, without the grat ification of national pride. 4 “Our own capital has been called ‘the only child of the naticn.” It is the one spot where the national government is independent and supreme, where na tional councils may be held without in terruption. free from party feeling and prejudice, the disturbances of a com mercial metropolis and the liability of mob violence. It is a neutral ground where a display of strong military power is’ unnecessary, and where members of all political parties may meet on equal terms, free from the t of pepular elections. Dignity and Independence. “Its government is under the guar dianship of Congress. giving it dignity and independence of State laws. The laws of a State might be inadeguate to the protection of the national government or might be exercised in A hostile spirit. “The site of the political capital ex ercises an important influence upon the whole ®ountry. This is shown by the history of all nations. Here take place the great events in its politieal history. It is the theater of national pageants, and the display of the natienal re sources. It is the site of monuments and the center of historic interest. Here wealth and the mementos of achieve ment accumulate. “Interest in the city as the National C. pital Increases with its improvement in distinction from other cities. It is te Mecca which every American de gires to visit. This interest and regard for the Capital City is an element In rational feeling an A study of eur city derives a peculiar importance because of these consid erations. Railroads Disappointing. “The railroad, and the development of great food areas in the West, have dis appointed the expectations formed for the city’s future, but the selection of the eite showed the highest wisdom of the time. It was not foreseen that the irinze of people along the sea coast would spread beyond the Alleghenies to the Mississippi, and to the Paecific; that the area in which the people then had their homes would, a century later, bs the abode of only one-third of the popu lation of the Urited States. While the site was central in their time, a hun dred years later it is as far from the center of population as it is from Maine or Florida. “Had it become a ‘great commercial emporium,’ surpassing New York or Chi cago, the estimate of the pepulation would have fallen as far short as estimate of other growth in the new nation. As it is, it is fortunate that the city is not a seat of commerce, and of a dense excitable population. The mod erate demand for land enables the offi cers of the Government te live upon smaller salaries than in business ei ties. It has permitted the growth of a city based rather upon the considera tion of art and resident convenience than mere utility. Future of Washington. “The development of Washington ap pears to have been brought about solely by public improvement. The era of co ‘nals and railways, which not only built up commercial centers, but also indus trial cit'es, dces not appear to have "had nearly 50 marked an effect upon the city’s growth. «he future of Washington is shown by its history to be chiefly dependent for its growth upon the patriotic spirit

of the country. While other cities flourish or decay from economic causes, the Capital City alone is representative ‘of naticnal spirit. The growth of gov ernment, and the centralization of ad ministration, in themselves are vital factors in its growth and prosperity; but it is also essential to draw to this national center the ‘leisure class’ A notable tendency, encouraged by and dependent upen public improvements, {s the growth of the city as a center of learning.” ee INTEREST IN MR.

NAVY DEPARTMENT. E. P. Hanna, solicitor of the Navy De partment, acts for Judge Advocate Gen eral Lemly in the absence of that offi cial. Mr. Hanna is considered one of the best versed officials of the Navy De partment in all matters pertaining to the commissioned personnel of the navy. His opinions on the countless questions that have arisen as a result of the navy per sonnel act, have practically all been sustained by the courts. Mr. Hanna's son, Frank Hanna, has until recently been chief clerk of the Marine Corps. He resigned to become an official stenogra pher, and is now taking testimony given before the coal commission. Dr. Kittredge has been appointed chief clk at the Marine Corps Headquar ters, and Mr. McNeil, formerly of the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy De partment, has been made assistant chief clerk. These two gentlemen have a large acquaintance among the officers of the navy and Marine Corps.

An instance of the peculiar machinery of the Navy Department. came to the surface recently when Admiral Dewey cabled Secretary Moody of the plans of the maneuver fleet for the Christ mas holidays. The dispatch was turned over to the Bureau of Navigation, and when inquiry was made there, this was the reply: “Lieutenant Belknap has not yet ap praved of it, and any statement based upon it in its present condition might be misleading.” The inquirer protested. “But does an order of the admiral commanding the navy have to be approved by a lieu tenant of the service?” The reply was: “Well, we have known an ensign to thwart the plans of a rear admiral, and this order will have to be approved in regular form before it is recognized by the department.” This may throw light upon Dewey's cutting of the cables at Manila. BUREAU OF STATISTICS. ~The United States is the greatest coal producing country in the world, the United Kingdom is second. and Germany is third. During the year the shares of the leading coal producing countries were as follows: United States, 34 per cent; United Kingdom, 28 per cent, and Germany 19.2 per cent. In 1901 the total production of the world was 866,165,000 short tons, The United Kingdom has al ways been the first coal consuming country of the world as far as per capita consumption is concerned, though the United States actually consumes more coal. The per capita consumption in the United Kingdom in 1901 was 3.89 tons, while the per capita consumption for this country was 3.29 tons, The price of coal in the United States under normal circumstances is lower than in most other countries of the world. LAST TESTAMENT OF CHARLES L. PULLMAN Small Bequests Made to Wife and Son. The will of Charles Lewis Pullman, a brother of the late George M. Pull man, was filled for probate yesterday afternoon in the office of the Register of Wills for the District. He died in New York on Thursday, but his resi dence is given as Pequenac, N. J. The document is dated October 29, 1900. Its filing recalls the feud which ex isted for many years be'ween his brother and himself. Recently Charles Lewis Pullman re sided in this city. A short time ago, however, he disposed of his interests in certain elevator palents and moved to New York city. Charles Lewis Pullman contended that he was the first to conceive the idea of building a rallway sieeping car. He maintained that his idca was patented by his brother, George M. Pullman, who made millions out of it. For a long time the brothers were not on speaking terms. The finally made friends, and George M. Pullman established his brother on a farm in Kansas. The title to the property was, however, retained by George Pullman. Before the death of George M. Pull man the brothers again quarrelcd. The millionaire did not mention his brother Charles in his will as a beneficiary, but made a bequest of $25,000 to his brother's divorced wife. By his wlll Charles Pullman leaves to his wife, Clara J. Pullman, and his son, Willlam C. Pullman, each $1,000. These bequests are increased by con ditional gifts of $4,000 to each. Of the remainder of his estate, one half is left to his sister, Helen Puliman West, who is named as executrix; one quarter to his niece, Emma Pullman Havk, and one-quarter to his nephew, Stuart Pullman West. The bequests of $4,000 to his wife and son are to be made at the discretion of his sister.

Members of Congress and people over the country have been caused much con cern by a critielsm of the management of the St. Louis Exposition. The ecriti clsm recently published came from one of the United States commissioners, rep resenting the Government. He charges that the Exposition com pany, which, capitalized at $5,000,000, has only pald in half that amount, although the promises of the company were given to the Secretary of the Treasury and to Congress that the full amount would be paid in when called for. Continuing his criticism, the commissioner says: “It was suggested that the exploita tion of the Exposition in the various States was far behind what it should be at this time. “Fifteen millions was subscribed for the exhibit. The Government appropri ated $5,000,000, the city of St. Louis $5,000,000, and the Exposition company $5,000,000. The company has failed to keep its promise. So dilatory has it been, the time of opening the big show was postponed one year. If this had not been done, the show would have been a farce and a fizzle. “It 1s claimed $2,000,000 has been raised by the States, but investigation proves this untrue. Missouri appro priated $1,000,000, Illinois voted $150,000, and Towa a considerably less sum. New York voted $50,000, and some of the New England States have voted money for commissioners to use in investiga tion. “St. Louls people announce with pride that thirty States have selected sites for their State buildings. That means but little, for what can they do with the sites if the State Legislatures fall to ap Inopriate money for the construction of the buildings. So it is with foreign ex hibits. Outside of France's acceptance, ni a single foreign government has ae cepted the invitation. “This criticism !s not hostile, but the people of the country at large are in terested in the Exposition. The $15,000,000 to make the Exposition a success has been placed In the hands of men living in St. Louls. Tbey must keep a strict account. If the affair is a failure, it will be charged to the people of Mis souri, for every person connected with it is either from Bt. Louis or the State.” THE WASHINGTON TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16. 1902. 9 (From an Interview in the Philadelphia Press.) Reed won his fame by his courage in counting a quorum. It was the finest display of moral courage I have ever seen. It is easy enough for any man now to follow his precedent, but it re quired a high order of courage to blaze the way. For nearly a hundred years Congress had been following the old pre. cedent of allowing a nan to be in his scat and still not present unless he ad mitted it by his vote. There had been great Speakers before him, and they had defended this precedent. Blaine, the greatest of Speakers in our day, had defended it, and Reed's attention was called to that fae¢t, but he decided that the fiction should not be recognized while he was In the chair. He did not act without carefully con sidering the question from all points of view and the consequences. He studied the precedents and he said that David B. Hall's ruling on that point was clear and right, when Hill, as lieutenant governor of New York, counted a guorum in the State senate. He called my attention to that ruling and I agreed that it was without a flaw so far &s I could judge. Reed Acted Independently. The occasion for the action was not decided upon by the Committee on Rules, Reed decided on the time for his action without consulting anyone, so far as I know. But he had gone over the ques tion with McKinley and me at a number of conferences In the Speaker's room and the action was fully determined upon there. It was, however, Reed's own ac tion, for he proposed it and defended it until McKinley and 1 agreed that it was right, We had only one argument against it, that it would be dangerous to over turn a precedent which had been so long establisted and so ably defended by some of his greatest predecessors in the Speaker's chair. This argument would have convinced most men, but not Reed. He had the moral courage to ignore old precedents and establish a new one when he believed it would be for the public good. He was sincere in that belief, and we all acknowledge now that it was for the public good. Reed's courage on that occasion made his reputation. And his courage will be better appre ciated when it is recollected that the Republican majority in the House was very small—my recollection now is but three—and on an appeal from the ruling of the Speaker, whic was made, it was necessary to get the vote of every Re publican to susiwain his action. Many Republicans in and out of public life questioned the wisdom of Reed’s action in the premises. Indeed, it was an open secret that Mr. Blaimny, who was then living, questioned the propriety from the standpoint of principle and prece dent. as well as the policy of counting the members present to make a gquo rum. i WO Wiehe TTT "Ts A Parliamentary Student. Was Reed arbitrary in the Committee cn Rules? No. He was very considerate of the other members. In fagt, he did not re gard himself an authority on parliamen tary practice in the beginning of that session, and often referred to me as one who had had more experience in pariia mentary maneuvers than he. He studied parliamentary law as he would study any other department of legal practice, and he reached this conclusion from the standpoint of correct principle, and when precedents stood in the way he swept them aside. And here I will confide to you a secret which shows Reed’s consideration of his fellows. He selected McKinley and me for the other Republicans to serve on the Committee on Rules with himself. When the committee wag announced Me Kinley's name preceded mine, though 1 had been on the committee in the pre ceding Democratic Congress as one of the minority members with Reed. Af ter the announcement the Speaker sent for me, and when I ente~'1 his room he sald: ‘Cannon, there vas a mistake in the arrangement of the names. Your name should have preced~d McKinley's, because you are an old member of the committee and he is not. I will have the order changed. It is unjust to you and also unjust to me that it should appear that I had passed McKinley over you.” For Appearances Sake. 1 replied, “Don’t uo it, Mr.. Speaker. You would only call attention to it and everybody would infer that I had com plained. I would much prefer that you leave it as it now stands.” But it requir ed considerable argument to induce him not to make the change. I called his attention to the talk of him and Me Kinley in connection with the Presiden tial nomination and said 1 had no such possibilities and he would be charged with striking at his rival if he made the change after the committee had been an nounced, He was sensitive about being suspected of such littieness, and in that way I convinced him that it would be better to allow the list to stand as an nounced. iHfow did Reed treat the Democratie members of the committee? With punctilious consideration, but with some satire as to their weakness for denouncing the outrages of the ma jority. The majority members of the committee would agree upon a rule or a line of action and then notify the minor ity members, as is always done. Reed would announce to them: “Mack and Joe and I have perpetrated another outrage on you. We have sent for you to let yoa know just what it is.” They would, of course, vote against the rule, and then it would be reported to the House and there acted upon. Reed selected me t oreport the rules, saying to McKinley that as I had more experience than either of them he thought I would better take the lead in defending them on the floor. McKinley agreed, and while my name stood last on the majority side of the committee I was put to the front on the floor. It may have been Reed's way of showing that he meant nothing by placing McKinley's same ahead of mine in the list, REPRESENTATIVE CANNON ON THOMAS B. REED. ee com— The Dead Speaker’s Career and Character as Viewed by the Speaker-of-the-House-io-Be. There was only one time that I re member having seen Reed discouraged. That was when he returned to “Vash ington at the beginning of the second session of the Fifty-fifth Congress in the winter of 1808. Reed had been opposed to the war, but aided in all legislation to carry it forward. He was fearful of the consequences of Dewey's victory in Manila Bay and believed that we should not take possession of the Phillppines. We haa talked of retaining naval sta tions, then one island, and before Con gress resumed its work in December public sentimont demanded the reten tion of the whole archipelago. Not only public sentiment, but other conditions of an International character had dle tated the policy of the Administration, and the peace commission had decided to keep the whole archipelago. Reed regarded this as a dangerous de parture from old policien. He had op posed the annexation of Hawaii an the interference in the Cuban troubles be cause he believed we should annex no outside territory. He was discouraged over the development of the Philippine policy, and when I called upon him be fore the session began he showed that discouragement. He belleved the public clamor was responsible for the policy and he expressed this discouragement. He talked of quitting public life because his efforts had been wasted. We had a long talk and afterward he worked with the rest of us to aid the Administration. lav”

Why He Quit Public Life. Reed did not quit public life because of disappointment in his ambition to be President. He was too big and cour ageous for that. He quit because he de sired better to provide for his family and because he had no heart in the work of carrying out a policy in which he dia not believe. It was a manly; thing te do —to quit a place of such great power which he could hold as lon. ns his party remained in the majority because he did not feel free to oppose the policy of his party. He gave up the Speaker's Simple Galarrh —1Meadly Consumipiion. Do Not Neglect the Beginnings of Disease; Small Ils May Develop Into Serious Ails, as Simple Catarrh Frequently Paves the Way for Deadly Consumztion, CATARRH PAVING THE WAY FOR THE “GREAT WHITE DI Acie rs S50 many neglect the beginnings of disease and allow it to become firmly seated and very difficult to dislodge. Only physicians who are familiar with the history of all, that in a large num ber of fatal sicknesgses, has led up to the death,- realize how often a supposedly trivial compliint neglected brought about the condition that cost life. Case after case of Consumption can be traced to neglected catarrh. Catarrh is a prevailing plague, the foremost scourge of America. Its stealthy approach and lingering stay makes it a dread to the physician and a pest to the patient. It is vastly more than just a filthy and disgusting disease, making the breath odious and repulsive, causing one to choke, snuff, blow, sneeze, cough, gag, hawk spit, and do the disagreeable things catarrh suffer ers are obliged to do. but if allowed to run it sooner or later becomes dangerous to life. Because catarrh is not alarming in its early stages it is commonly allowed to progress until many, so many, deaths are due to diseases having other and various names but of which catarrh is the primary or basic cause. Catarrh is the beginning of more dis eases than all other causes combined. It is capable of attacking most fluids, tissues, and organs of the body. The poisonous secretions following up the mucous tracts get into the throat and injure the voice, into the head and im pair hearing, into the stomach and pro duce dyspepsia into the bowels and re sult in chronie diarrhea. into the blood and become scrofula, into the skin to be known as eczema, into respiratory or gaus and cause consumption, lato the chair rather than hold office for the mere sake of the office. Did Reed approve your bill to place $50,000,000 in the President's hands for national defense? He probably did not, but he did not place a straw in the way of {ts passage. That bill was my own. After the ex plosion of the Maine I concluded that war was inevitable and I feared more serious complications because of the sympathy expressed for f'vein in Bu rope. I had a talk with Piesident Mec Kinley and suggested s<me action of this kind as a warning to Spain and her friends and also as a means of preparing for war which seemed Inevitable. I sug gested that the President send a mes sage to Congress recommending an ap propriation of fifty or a hundred millions for national defense, McKinley’s Hope for Peace. He feared that would be accepted as an admission that the Administration wanted a war and he was using every effort to maintain peace. But he said he wished he had such an appropriation to prepare for what he feared must come. I still suggested that the appro priation ought to be made and the Presi dent then stated in substance, General Grosvenor of Ohio being present, that he would be glad to have us meet a number of members and Senators at 10 o'clock the next morning to consult touching the propriety of the appropria tion. of We did meet the President and a num ber of others, amoung those I recol lect being Senator Allison and Repre sentative Boutelle of Maine, and the consensus of opinion was that the ap propriation should be made. I intro duced the bill that morning and had it referred to the Committee on Appro priations. The newspaper boys found it and the news was spread over the whole world before noon. That was part of my plan. It had the desired effect so far as other European powers were concerned. That was a busy day in the House, Mr. Reed was in the chair all day and I urinary organs and entail Bright's dis ease and bladder troubles, into the pel vic organs and develop various annoying and distressing conditions generally re ferred to as “female weakness.” Catarrh of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, Lronchial tubes, lungs liver, stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, and other or gans, is but a local manifestation of a lurking systematic or constitutional disease, hence the folly of attempting its cure with local applications alone. It needs searching, systematic medication to effectually eradicate this blighting taint from the constitution. Purely local treatment will only suppress its outward manifestation in one spot _ drive it in to perhaps attack some more important and deeper seated structures. If you have catarrh, even in its most common or ordinary and supposedly safe form, and are gifted with uncommon sense you will not delay seeking a cure for it, but endeavor to drive it out of the system before it develeps into a disease that gives little promise or hope of cure. True, all catarrh sufferers do not de velop consumption or Bright's disease, but careful inquiry will show that most who have died of these common and fa tal ills were, previous to its affecting lungs or kidneys, afflicted with some recognized foria <f catarrh. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets cure catarrh anywhere, everywhere, and always, whether it be openly manifest as a local pest or lurking internally as a hidden scourge. They are taken internally, thereby searching out and antagonizing catarrbal poisons, wherever the blood goes, and this means in every nook and corner of the body. This is how they have won their great was busy. I did not see Reed except as Speaker until I was leaving my com mittee room in the late afternoon. I met him leaving the Speaker's room. Reed’s Mild Reproach. His first remark was “Why did you do it?” with just a shade of reproach in his volce. I replied that I thought it advisabls. “T did not comsult you be cause I was quite sure you would not approve and I did not care to ask your advice and then go contrary to it, bo= cause I was quite certain I would in troduce the bill anyway.” We walked up town together and talked about the situation. I explained to him that the object to be attained: by the appropriation was two-fold: First, to show Spain and other nations, some of whom were disposed to sym-. pathize with Spain, that we had the money to pay the expenses of war in. our Treasury and were ready to use ft. This was good ss a measure making for peace, and if it did not result peace it was absolutely necessary the due preparation for war. After a short silence Mr. Reed re plied: “Perhaps you are right. Perhaps you are right.” The bill was reported the next and passed by the unanimous vote the House. POLICEMAN J. N. FIFIELD GRANTED A PENSION Thr District Commissioners have ap« proved the recommendation of the polic& pension committee, that Private J. Fifield, in view of his illness and 1 service, be given $50 pension per mon payable from the police relief fund, Wall, police surgeon, testified that the man was suffering frem rheumatism at4 fecting the righi arm and from ‘aia sigh!. Fifield has been on the force almost thirty-seven years. The recommendation of the po at has also been approved that mont pensions be allowed the widow and daughter of .the iate H. C. Jones, of the police force. reputation for positive and permanent cures. This is why so many testify that they are cured so the disease does not come back after a time. A leading druggist of Albany says: bey have sold many catarrh cures, but none gave such general satisfaction as Stu= art's Catarrh Tablets.” A cure that is radical and lasting is the only real cure. It is easy to dry up or drive in and suppress catarrh at some local point, with drying or astringent applications, but this is only a misera ble sublerfugs, a makeshift that will soon be apparent when treatment ig dis continued. Not go with the radical con stitutional cure by the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which though not so rapid of action as suppressing measures, is lasting and satisfactory in the end. The catarrhal constitution once righted, the first little cold does not bring about a return of the disease. The certainty and permanency of the cures ac complished by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets accounts for the fact that the multitude of people who have used them are so lavish in their praise. If you love health, a sweet breath, and a clear head, if you wish to rid yourself of the systemic tendencies, as well as the disagreeable local manifes tations, of ecatarrh, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are your hope. and if persis tently used for a reasonable time will rrove your redemption from this preva-. lent, loathsome, and eventually danger ous disease. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are efMcient, convenient, safe, and cheap. They can be bought at any drug store for 50 a box and taken easily and privately. Try them and you will be pleased.

TRADING AT SLIGHT ADVANCES IN VALUES Volume of Business on the Market Fairly Large and Well Distributed Steel Stocks Well Supported Tendency of Market Based on Report of Bankers’ Pool to Extend Relief in Money Situation. NEW YORK, Dee. 168.—The initial transactions in this. morning's stock market were effected at advances rang ing from to nearly 1 point. There were a few excepticns to the common tecdency. St. Paul, in particular, was dealt in fractionally below yesterday's final prices. The trading was in fairly large vol ume, and well distributed. The ten dency of ihe marke! was altogether bas ed upon the intelligence which became pubiic yesterday afternoon with regard to the formation of a large bankers’ pool to extend relief te the money mar ket should extraordinary assistance be come necessary. American stocks were strong in the london market, also on this intelli gence. The advances there approximat ed 1 per cent. The Venezuelan sitva tion appeared to cut no special figure in either the London or the local mar ket. The tone after the opening was some what feverish, although, on the whole, the early advances were very well maintained. i "The steel stocks were well supported in the industrial quarter, and Sugar Re fining was firm. Amalgamated Copper was likevise steady. Manhattan Railway was the strongest feature of the local traction stocks. Interest was agein wholly absorbed in the financial situation and the state of affairs in Venezuela, and there were otherwise no developments of import ance over night.

Crandle, editor of the “Municipal Journal of Enginesring,” was a caller at the District Building to day. He made the rounds in company with Dr. Woodward, the Health Ofiicer, whom he recently became acquaint at the meeting of the American Pub Me Health Association in New Orleans. MR. CRANDLE CALLS The effect of the recent deeline in prices has not been so far-reaching or Gisastrous to what is known as the “public’ as it was in May, 1901. At that time commission houses were loaded up with stocks held by customers who came from all the walks of life. In most in stances the margins put up represented the earnin; s of a life-time. Consequent ly, when the violent break in prices came they could give no further security, and the stocks were sold at a Joss. It was the survival of the fittest, and the “pub lic” has never been as fully represented in the market. Those who are suffering row were originally possessed of inde pendent fortunes. Probably many of this class have been financially crippled, but the instances are few compared with the great number who were ruined on blue Thursday—May 9, 1901. It was apparent in the panic of May 1901, the great weakness in the situa tion was that the customer relied upon his broke: to protect him. Few of the commission houses were financially strong enough to do that, even though the customer promptly responded to the calls for margin. Since that time, most of the pools have made their ar rangements direct with banks to carry their holdings, and this has been the case with many individual operators. It is the business, of course, of a hank to lend money, and so long as the margin of 20 or 30 points is kept intact the borrower need fear no selling Wf his collatera® by the bank. His only fear is a raising of the rate of interest, and as it is the custom to make only call loans on stocks, this fear is always impending. Apparently, in the recent ‘decline, the pools and other YHorrowers ‘were unable to maintain the margin oi 20 or 30 points. This unquestionably caused liquidation, but now that prices ‘have dropped from the high point of September about 24 points, thd banks ‘have concluded that a further drop ‘would precipitate a disastrous panic, ‘which would cripple the whole financial world. To restore confidence yesterday, eleven banks entered into a pool to lend $50, 000,000 at the market in case an emerg ency should arise, but no specuation is to be encouraged. The management of the pool will be under the direction of J. P. Morgan, President Stiliman, of the City Bank, and President George F. Baker. of the First National. Its organ ization began last week, when call money rose to 12 per cent, but it was not until yesterday that the pool was perfected. Eight of the banks subscribed $5,000,00¢ each. There is little probability that this mcney will be used, but the feet that it is obtainable in case of need has had a most salutary effect on the market, and restored confidence to many smaller banks. Should these banks be called upon for their full subscription the bank statement probably would show a de crease in the respective reserves. Without any apparent manipulation Chicago wheat is going up and yesterday ‘sold at 78%, the highest price of the sea son. It is predicted it will sell at 80. San Francisco is now sending money to New York, whereas last week it was drawing. Yesterday there was trans ferred to the New York banks $350,000, and the Treasury drew on the banks for only $42,000. It is quite evident that with the high rate of interest now offered by New York banks, money will keep on steadily flowing into that city. It was reported yesterday that the Baltimore and Ohlo had sent to New York $8,000, 000, to be put out on call loans. The fall in the price of beef in Chi cago is attributed to the fact that there were marketed there 86,000 head when the demand was for only 70,000. The rea gon for this excess is due to the fact that the cattle shipped were fed on soft corn. The International Silver Company has declared a scrip dividend of 2 per cent, to cover deferred accumulative dividends on the preferred stock. The bound market yesterday was broader and firmer than it has been for some time. SEFTON HELD FOR ACTION OF FEDERAL GRAND JURY Accused of Firing Several Times at His Brother With Murderous Intent. Fred O, Sefton, who fired four shots at his brother, Anthony W. Sefton, yester day afternoon, waived examinztton in the Police Court today and was held for the grand jury in bonds of $1,000. His brother and several other witnesses were in court. Fred Sefton yesterday resigned his position as pressman in the Government Printing Office. About 5 o'clock, it is claimed, he went to the home of his brother, 765 First Street northwest. A few minutes later Anthony appeared, and Fred, without saying anything, is said to have commenced shooting at him. A policeman passing the house arrested Fred, who is alleged to have expressed regret that he was not allowed to kill hig brother. None of the four shots took effect. It is sald that the brothers have not spoken to each other for a year.

CONTINUED FUROR OVER “LOVE AND LIFE”

Watis® Painting Now Adotns Wall of One of the Presi dent’s Puvate Apartments. The removal of Watts’ famous paint ing, “Love and Life,” from the Cor coran Art Gallery to the White House continues to be a topic of much com ment. The possibility of the W. C. T. U. renewing the objections made years ago when the picture was first sent to the White House has led to specu lation as to what the President wouid do in such a case. The President’s View. It is not believed that President Roose velt knew of the criticism showered upon the picture in 1835, in consequence of which President Cleveland refused to permit the painting to remain in the mansion. It is hot considered likely, however, that he will have the picture returned to the gallery. There are a number of reasons for taking this view. In the first place the painting was presented to the United ALEXANDRIA NASONS VISIT KOUNT VERNON Place Floral Wreath on Tomb of Washington. ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 16.—Xester day afternoon the officers and a special committee of the Alexandria-Washington Lodge of Masons, of this city, went to Mount Vernon and placed a floral wreath upon the tomb of Washington, the oc casion being the one hundred and third anniversary of his death. That day fell on Sunday and it was decided to place the wreath upon the tomb yesterday af ternoon. A delegation of Masons from the Fredericksburg Lodge also made a visit to Mount Vernon and placed a wreath upon the tomb. Mayor George L. Simpson has notified the officials of the Southern Railway Company that the boardwalk in front of their shops on Henry Street, between Wolfe and Wilkes Streets, must be either repaired or renewed, as it is in a very dilapidited condition. Notwithstanding the fact that coal is being received at regular intervals here and there is no immediate prospects of coal famine, the dealers yesterday raised the price of stove coal $1 a ton. This same coal had up to this time been selling at $7.50 and $3.50. No coal can now be secured for less than $9.50. The price of wood, however, remains un changed. In the corporation court yesterday af ternoon, papers of incorporation were granted to the Wills Mountain Sanitari um Company. Dr. H. D. Fry, of Wash ington, is president, and Gardner L. Boothe is named as local attorney. Invitations Have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Hunter for the mar riage of their daughter, Miss Julia Cal vert Hunter, to Mr. Robert MacMillan Kennedy, of South Carolina. The cere mony will take place at Christ Episco pal Church, Wednesday evening, Decem ber 31, at 5:30 o'clock. The members of the George Washing ton Band will give their first ball oi the season tomorrow night in Odd Fel lows’ Hall, on North Columbus Street. The ladies of the Co-operative Chari ties Association this morning held a meeting in the Old Women's Home, and steps were taken toward alleviating the sufferings of the worthy poor during the winter months. George N. Petty, chief of the fire de partment, has notified the paid mom bers of the city fire department that he will on Christmas eve present each of them with a twelve pound turkey, THE COURT RECORD. aquity Court No. 1-—Justice Hagner— Keese vs. Williams; substituted answers allowed to be filed.

In recalling the painting now the Presi dent is acting, it is asserted, within the limits of the giver’s intentions and his deed of conveyance to the Government. In Private Apartments. A fact which will tend to disarm criticism, it is thought, is that the re moval of the picture from the art gal lery really meets, in a way, the wishes of the W. C. T, U., since it is now with drawn from public gaze. Another pertinent circumstance, hither te not known, is that the painting is not in any of the semi-public rooms of the first floor of the White House, as reported, but is in one of the private apartments on the second floor. It is not thought probable that organizations or individuals will wish to dictate what kind of pictures the President shall have in his private home any more than they would do so to any private citizen. tate of William W.

ASHES AND REFUSE MUST BE PROMPTLY REMOVED 2 District Commissioners Di= rect William D. Goddard to Comply With Regula tions. Contract Excludes Every thing in Way of Building Material, Which Causes Annoyance. The District Commissioners have di rected their secretary to inform Wil lam D. Goddard, of 143 F Street north east, that he must comply with the regulations relative to the removal of ashes and miscellaneous refuse from bis premises. Mr. Goddard recently sub mitted several objections to the method f removing ashes. some of which were: “If I throw a shovelful or two of yard sweepings on the top of my ash *an, the collector refuses to empty the can, and the Street Cleaning Depart ment sustains him in this refusal. “A second objection is thdt the pres ent contract excludes everything in the nature of building material. On the strength of this clause the contractor refused to empty my ash can because MISS BOYD LECTURES ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH Interesting Talk Before Classical Club of Columbian University. In West Hall of Columbian University yesterday afternoon, the Columbian Classical Club and a number of invited friends listened with great pleasure to an address on “Five Years in Greek Lands” by Miss Harriet A. Boyd, who was for some time feilow of the Ameri can school at Athens, and recently won fame in the archaeological world by her successful excavations at Gournia in Crete, Miss Boyd related many interest ing incidents of her student life and “travels in Greece, and of experiences during the war with Turkey, when she served as a volunteer nurse for the Greek soldiers and was decorated by the King in recognition of her services. She also described the archaeological work now being carried on in Crete by the different nationalities, and mention ed the finding of neolithic remains at a lower level than previous discoveries. which seem to confirm the belief that the civilization of Crete and the surround ing islands was native and not Egyptian or Phoenician. The Columbian Classical Club, under the auspices of which the address was given, was organized three years ago to promote the study and appreciation of ancient life and literature among the students in the college and graduate school of the Columbian University: but the privilege of associate membership has been extended to other friends of archaeology and the classics resident in this city. The officers for the present year are: President, Prof. Mitchell Car roll; recording secretary, Miss Dorothy H. Sipe; corresponding secretary, Prof. Charles 8. Smith; treasurer, John Ford. The special subject of study this winter will be the “History and Results of the Excavations at Pompeii.” An inquest was held yesterday over the remains of Edward and Olive Tomp kins, the colored children who wore burned to death in their home on Mount Zion Hill, Hillsdale, last Friday. The Jury decided that the death of the children was due to accident. Rosa Prue, their fifteen-year-old cousin, who was arrested for neglect in leaving them in the house, was exonerated. She left them, as was her custom, to get some thing for them to eat, and was away only a short while The Rev. C. H. Butler, pastor of the Keller Memorial Evangelical Lutheran Church, will be informed by the Dis trict Commissioners that his request for the cancellation of taxes against the church property can be granted in part. Accordiog to a report from the Asses sor, tke tax for the year i893 shoull be canceled, but the assessment for wa ‘ter main he recommends to be paid without interest and penalty.

Are Not Censors. “The collectors ought not to be re quired to act as censors with authority to refuse to collect, any more than the men working at cleaning the streets, It should be understood that a collecior’s first business is to do the work. “When the work is done thoroughly and efliciently and universaily it will be easier to enforce the rules as to de tails, which now only drive one-half of the householders back to the system of private collection. I wish to know whether the contract can be improved this year so as to make the collection as efficient as it is in other cities.” The action of the Commissioners was based upon a report by Warner Stutler, Superintendent of Street Cleaning, who sald that the collection of ashes and miscellaneous refuse was done under separate contracts, and the reegvlations required that the different kinds of re fuse should be in separate receptacles, Continuing, he said: “The present contracts for the re moval of ashes and refuse wer. entered into in July, 1900, and do not o+pire un til June 30, 1905. The contractor who is doing the work was the only one whose bid was within the amount appropriated by Congress for this purpose, and the District could fiot secure any better terms than those offered by him with the money at its disposal.” PATRIARCHS MILITANT TO ATTEND BAZAAR Under Auspices of the Dorcas Rebekah Lodge, No. 4, 1. 0. 0.

EFFORTS TO RAISE MONEY FORW CT 10

The local branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union opened a sale this afternoon at the headquarters of the organization, 522 Sixth Street northwest. Luncheon was served from 12 to 2 o'clock. The sale will continue until 10 o'clock tonight, and will be re sumed tomorrow and Thursday at noon and continue through each evening. Each year several entertainments are given for the benefit of the District branch, which has purchased its present home. The building is not entirely paid for, and the sale and luncheon this week are in aid of the building fund. The rooms look unusually attractive in their decorations of red and greén, while distributed about the parlors are tables laden with all sorts of fancy articles, aprons, handkerchiefs, candy and novel ties. Arrangements for the affair are in the hands of 100 women of the District branch, who have worked earnestly for the success of the miniature bazaar. The articles on the tables have been made with the purpose of disposing of them for Christmas gifts, and much excellent taste and artistic effort have been ex pended in fashioning them.
