The national colors were everywhere—draped be- hind the president's chair, twisted around the pillars, and concealing the solid material of the altar in the center of the hall and the stations of the various officers. With but one or two exceptions every man wore the full regalia of the order—a broad plush sash over the right shoulder, in which the red, white, and blue were prominent, although gold andilver laces, braids, and fringes were also conspicuous.

Phillips the words of the Lord’s Prayer. COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS’ WELCOME. Mr, ©, W. Spofford then introduced Com- missioner Douglass, who was greeted with pro- longed applause.

The Commissioner concluded by ex- pressing the hope that the deliberations of this national camp of the Patriotic Order Sons of America would result in an improved Ameri- can citizenship, and, believing that they would, he welcomed the representatives of the order to the city of Washington. Delegate Jas. R. Kenney, mayor of Reading, Pa., replied on behalf of the camp, Hesaid he found it difficult to make proper response to a welcome which was bigger than the man who made it, “although,” he added, “he’s big enough.” ‘The welcome was appreciated, Every member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America would take all he could get {iaughterl —legitimately, The work of the order and its growth, especially in the south, was touched upon, and the speaker closed with an eulogium of the city and the nation, which was loudly applauded. The District president-at-large, A. C. Hawley, of Michigan, then stepped upon the platform and, with a ‘few complimentary remarks, pre- sented to President Smith a past-president’s gold badge, subscribed for by the members of the order in Llinois. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS, For this brief thanks were returned and President Smith read his annual address, the first portion of which was devoted to an ex- haustive review of the nation’s progress dur- ing the century which has just closed. Refer ring to the growth of the organization, he said: “Our order is now in a flourishing condition. Since our meeting in Reading last June we have been steadily increasing in numbers, in influence, and in importance. During the past year, under the jurisdiction of the ional camp, there have been instituted thirty-five subordinate camps, four state camps and seven- teen commanderies, To our galaxy of states and territories we have added Gishigan, Ken- tucky, Wisconsin and Texas, In Massachusetts we have seen the order grow from three to eight camps, with a state camp and command- ery. In Michigan there are four good, healthy camps, and instead of one camp in the state of Louisiana, we have now eleven, with a state camp andcommandery. Instead of one weak camp in the state of New York there are now four, while New Jersey has again become strong enough to have a state camp.” Reference was made to the public school system, and the order was asked to continue to labor for the good of the public schooi and the confusion of its enemies. CRONIN, CLAN-NA-GAEL AND DYNAMITE. The subject of organization was then dis- cussed, as follows: “Now, brethren, the ques- tion comes up as to what we can do to hasten the day when we shall become thoroughly or- ganized. A few more Haymarket riots and Cronin murders, instigated by organized bodies of foreigners who have been permitted to become citizens of this free America, and who have shown their gratitude by sending messengers. loaded with dynamite, back to their native country for the purpose of destroy- ing innocent women and children, and who have foully murdered their members when they failed to carry out their hellish plans, and there will not be in our western country lamp- posts and telegraph and telephone poles enough is hang the miscreants, [Prolonged applause. ] L ask you, is there room enough in this country for societies like the Clan-na-Gael that are not in harmouy with and are injurious to American institutions; that are dangerous to American order, disloyal to American government, de- structive to American principles; Fepuguant to American ideas, and disgusting to all Americans who have any sense of justice, any regard for consistency, and any respect for the sanctity of human life? Have we room for societies whose officers contract with men to commit wholesale murder and then starve and betray their tools that they themselves may have the more money to spend for their own personal benefit? The time has come for us to be aggressive, and to carry the war into the enemy's camp, and I believe the sooner we do so the sooner we will cease to have native-born Americans ashamed to acknowledge their birth- right. The condition of the public opinion of the whole country favors such a policy, and I ask you, what shall we do? Has not the time arrived for us to be active in this matter? THE FOREIGN POPULATION, “The census of 1880 shows the number of foreigners and their children in the United States as 15,000,000 in round numbers, to which have been added since that time about 5,000,- 000 more, making about one-third of our en- tire population. Assimilation of such a va: mass of unhomogencous humanity is a phys cal and moral impossibility. With them have come the lame, the blind, the insane, and the criminal: the disaffected and unthrifty to fill our prisons and charitable institutions, to block the wheels of our judicial system and to make us a nation of enforced alms-givers, With them have come also many who prefer debauchery to sobriety, idleness to lab: i to poverty, ignorance to intellig superstition to virtue. Alien fags and foreign emblems float from our public buildings, em- blazon our streets, and head processions of the people. We are cursed with all kinds of foreign, non-American issues. Vast un-Ameri- can organizations are held together by foreign issues of birth for the pur- pose of perpetuating foreign sentiments and corrupting the ideals of our fathers, An- archy and the destruction of all law are openly advocated, and the right to enforce discipline and the principles of some of these orders is claimed by secret conclaves, even to the extent of the taking of human life.” The Chinese restriction law was indorsed by President Smith, who concluded his references to aliens by saying, “I appeal to you, brethren. how long could our national life endure the ralysis of pagan barbarianism on the one [ eaiey and on the other the poisoning influ- ences of crime, pauperism, dishonesty, iguor- ance, inherited imbecility and religious intol- erance of the slums of Europe?” THE COLOR QUESTION. The President recommended that the ques- tion of instituting colored camps be taken up at this session, ‘“Ishall,” said he,” watch your deliberations on this question with no little anx- bef and interest, and I would respectfully call your attention to the fact that there are a great number of colored men -yho are either ‘oing to stand firm for our principles or else frey‘wil be against them. This is a great uestion. We have do: it long enough. 2et ns settle it once and for gil time.” GOING INTO SECRET SESSION.

New Minister to China. It is understood that Secretary Blaine offered the appointment, to succeed Minister Denby, a8 minister to China to Admiral Shufeldt (re- tired), The admiral, while not declining the mission, asked time to consider the matter, hes- itating on account of the loss of his pay as retired naval officer that would be involved in the acceptance. If he does not accept, and it is thought to be very doubtful, Mr. Kasson is spoken of as second choice for the mission. escent Tg Held for Assaulting a Woman. James B, Contee, a colored man employed at the capitol, wus before the Police Court this afternocu charged with assault with intent to commit rape. The prosecuting witness was @ colored woman named Mary Beacham, who lives at 1027 3d street northwest. The assault charged took place at the capitol y terday afternoon. © prisoner was repr sented by Messrs. Ricks and Moss. The for- mer claimed that the prisoner was not of sound mind, and asked for a postponement, but the latter denied that Contee was of unsound mind and said he was ready for trial. ‘The prosecuting witness was then called and testified that she went to the capitol yesterday to see her father, who is employed there. She met the defendant and asked him to show her where her father was working. He showed hertoa room and then assaulted her. She made complaint, and he was arrested. Jesse Givens, colored, gave corroborative testimony, and the defendan: held in $300 bail for the action of the grand jury. Trouble in the Lawler Family. Michael Lawler, this afternoon, by Mr. A. K. Browne, fileda bill against his wife, Hanore Lawler, for an injunction to restrain the latter from encumbering his property, &c. He states that he and his wife live at 3226 M street, where he conducts a restaurant and she conducts a boarding house next door, and he charges that the defendant isof ungovernable temper, that she has tre- quently assaulted him, and that on the 17th instant she threw dishes at him at the breakfast table, and he was obliged to leave. He says that he is willing that she should keep possses- sion of the boarding house, but asks that she be restrained from interfering with the restaurant. —_—.__ The Capitol Shooting Case. In the Criminal Court this morning the trial of Sidney B, Cunningham on the charge of as- sault with intent to kill Turner K. Hackman on the 11th of March last, at the capitol, was re- sumed. Mr. Lipscomb argued the case yester- day, followed by Mr. Garnett, for the defend- ant, and this morning Mr. Christy made his argument for the defendant. Mr. Lipscomb followed, closing at 12:30 o'clock. THE CHARGE TO THE JURY. After recess Judge Bradley charged the jury and after recounting the facts said it was not Hackman that was on trial nor were they to consider the standing of defendant. It was not important for them to consider what took pl. on the 6th of March, nor what Hack- man’s purpose was in going to Cuningham’s room. It was the intent which governed the case and that was a question for the jury. If Hickman had been armed and defendant be- eved that he was armed, it was no justifica- tian, for the defendant should have then avoided the difficulty, The defendant took numerous exceptions to the charge, and the jury retired at 1:40 o'clock. i A Wife’s Suit for Divorce. Elvira Covington, by Messrs, Critcher & Critcher, to-day filed a bill for divorce from George W. Covington. They were married May 18th, 1875, and the complainant charges that the defendant committed adultery in August, 1888, that he had treated her with cruelty, has been ill tempered, &c, prteactasor acess. :The Female Pedestrians. ‘The walking match at Kernan’s is still a cen- ter of attraction, end crowds of men hourly watch the female pedestrians on their weary tramp. The score at 2:20 o'clock to-day was: Tobias, 126 miles; Massicot, 122 miles and 11 DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Tee XR, DWYER'S COMPLAINT. Commissioners to-day from Mr. Philip N.
