The race question cropped out again in Practical life Monday at the Riggs house, when Representative Grimes of Georgia took Offence at the presence of a colored man at the saute dining table as that at which he had Seated himself and left the hotel, transferring his patronage to another establishment.

He numbers among his acquaintances Mr. H. ©. C. Astwood, colored, who was once United States minister to San Domingo, and with whom he had an engagement Monday after- noon. The two men were chatting over their business when the dinner hour arrived and Mr. McKay invited Mr. Astwood to dine with him. SEATED AT THE SAME TABLE. Astwood accepted the invitation and they were engaged in their meal when Representa- tive Grimes, who merely took his meals at the walked into the dining room. Mr. G took a seat at the same table with Mr. McKay and his companion before he noticed the latter's complexion. Then he immediately arose and, though tolerably hungry, going to the office squared his accounts and de- parted for the Shoreham. There is another Georgia Representative in the House who, it is understood. has said that ‘Unless he is satisfied py an explanation from the proprictor that the house was imposed upon Will vacate his apartments. MR. SPOFFORD DECLINES TO TALK. Mr. Spofford. who acts in the capacity of “mine host” at the Riggs, when seen by a Stan reporter this morning in regard to the matter would say nothing about the matter at all far- ther than that Mr. Grimes took his meals at the hotel, and denied the right of reporters to question him about what he considered his private business, eee CAPITOL GLEANINGS.

Secretary Proctor says that the proposed Proclamation granting amnesty to army deserters in certain cases will not be issued Until some necessary information is ob- tained from the authorities at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kans, tending to show the effect and extent of a general pardon. The Secretary said that it would hardly be fair toconfine the benefits of amnesty to those de- Serters only who escaped apprehension and Keep it from those who were unfortunate enough to be caught, adding that such a course would be punishing the latter class merely be- cause they were caught and not of their desertion. Encouraging Re-Enlistment. Secretary Proctor has issued an order direct- ing that “furloughs for three or four months, according to remoteness of stationor other Pertinent circumstances, be granted to good men for re-enlistment within one month from date of discharge, this enlistment to be either at the station at which they may be discharged orat any other mili post in a company at the post at which the eulistment takes place or atadepot of the general recruiting service.

Isaac Berman and Benjamin Sch, both eigh- teen years old, in the employ of Samuel Klein, # Brooklyn butcher, were skylarking in the store Monday night and throwing pieces of suet at each other. Berman was hit in the face with a large piece and this so enraged him that he picked up a large knife used in cutting steaks and huricd it at Seb. The latter in dodging the blow lifted up both hands and re- ceived the point of the knife in his night side. He fell senseless to the floor, while the weapon remained in the flesh. Mr. Klein heard the boy’s screams and after pulling out the knife sent for a doctor. The injured lad was re- moved to the homepathic hospital, where he lies at the point of death. Berman was ar- rested aud remanded to jail to await examin- ation, Ho says it was an accident and that he had no intention of hurting his companion. coe He Was Worth $30,000.

There was a rush for the Sioux reservation at Pierre and Chamberlin Monday hours before it became known that the President's proclama- tion had opened the new territory. It was a grand sight, viewed from the high bluffs on the east side of the river, to see the teams with their great lumber loads dashing across the river on a dead run, up the bluff on American Island and finally being lost to sight in the heavy timber. The Indian police, to the number of nearly one hundred, had been placed as a guard to Prevent any premature invasion, but they stood dazed and helpless as they viewed the great and irresistible rush for the reservation. A most novel sight was the moving of a large building, under which had been piaced heavy timbers and wheels. This, like the other Wagons, was pulled across the river by gallop- ing horses. it took but a few minutes for the several sec- tions on the valuable bottom to be literally covered with claimants, and it will take a score of lawyers to solve the problem as to who are the rightful owners. The local town-site boomers undoubtedly secured an advantage over the other organized boomers by a few minutes, but among the boomers are a number who intend to secure homestead filings if possible, which, if per- sisted in will complicate the matter to such an extent as to maak in a protracted legal strug- gie. While this rush and conflict was going on for the bottom lands many other Intending settlers rushed promptly into the uplands an began at once the erection of houses, and these are prepared to defend their rights us against later settlers, determinedly guarding against any invasion of their lands, Monday night the settlers encamped on their claus. The new land olfice will be organized atonce and be in runuing order by the time the iands are surveyed. when filings will bo tendered by settlers. ‘The land is as yet un- surveyed, and settlers will for the present have | to secure squatters’ rights, There were a number of smash-ups in the | de rush, but as yet no fatalities have been re- j ported, The city was in a great uproar Monday night. Bells ringing, whistles blowing. can- nons booming, shouting of excited men and the rushing of teams made a veritabie bedlam. The description above applies to Chamber- lin. At Pierre the scene was somewhat differ- ent. Immediately after the news camo there was a grand stampede and rush for the reserva- tion. Immediately acrosx the river from Pierre is the famous “mile-square,” on whieh is situated the city of Fort Pierre. It was this | that the settlers first rushed for, but, as the military headquarters was stationed there and as no orders had been received from head- quarters to allow the settlers to cross the river, they were met by the military and obliged to return to Pierre. ‘The situation down the river was more seri- ous. About a mile east of the city was situ- ated another boomers’ cump. Just at the time the news was received the guards along the | river were changed and the fresh guards did not leave the camp at Fort Pierre until a few minutes after the new shift had come into the town. As aconsequence the east Pierre crowd were in the reserve before they were noticed and had had alrendy commenced to scttle, The regulars were soon in hot pursuit and sue- ceeded in capturing all but a few of the boom- ers. Many were put in the guard house at Fort Pierre. A dispatch last night says that until yester- day morning indian Agent Anderson proposed to eject ali boomers wiro had entered te Sicux reservation at Chamberlain because he had re- ceived no official notice of the President's | | proclamation, but the notice came at last and the rush continues.

In point of fact, i# may be truthfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tur Stax on the 18th of January, 1590. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circe- Jation of any other paper in Washing ton! 2 The Stac's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other datly Papers published im the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas ing population, than any other newe- paper in the world!!! 4. The Star bas the targest regular and pormanecnt home circulation of any twe-cent afternoon paper im the United Sustes Iti! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: WAILY CIRCULATION Ix 1S85-86-87-88-89, 1SSS. ISS6. 1887.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), 80 that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Stax a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is 20 idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition, The figures following tell the story on this poiut: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS ©RINTED Lt ASKS-SE-87 NDR, Iss6.

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columus for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre- vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it must be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing im the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im ite patron age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, im proportion to the extent and high character of its circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, ‘and to add, finally, that every statement hercia CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARR OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS SX renasr THEIR EXAMINATION
