MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1890. 2d EDITION. Lat Teeams to To St MR. TUPPER GOING HOME. The Negotiations Over the Fisheries and Seal Rights Progressing. ‘ Orrawa, Oxt., March 17.—Hon. C. H. Tup- per, minister of marine and fisheries, is ex- pected back from Washington today or tomor- row to consult with his colleagues on fishery mattera. The report that complications have arisen in connection with the negotiations now going on at Washing- ton is entirely without foundation, in fact the negotiations so far have been of the most sat- isfactory nature. Matters have proceeded so farthat before the next step is taken it has been deemed better for Mr. Tupper to return here to consult with the government rather than that communications on matters of policy should pass between Ottawa and Washington by mail or wire. ———>—__—__ SULLIVAN FREE.

RESULT OF A COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION. Representative Moore of New Hampshire has been notified of the result of a competitive ex- amination in his district of those who desired an appointment as cadet at the naval acad- emy. @ lucky one was Arthur Emery of Penucook, and the alternate is Audrew P. Kelly of Concord. Emery's appointment has been recommended THEY ASKED TO BE RELIEVED, Senators Call of Florida and George of Mis- sissippi today asked to be excused from further service on the Senate committee on immigra- tion,of which Senator Chandler of New Hamp- shire is chairman. and their request was granted. Their action is understood to be based on the unpleasant relations between themselves and Mr. Chandler, springing from the recent controversies in jenate, THE PACIFIC RAILROADS. Charles Francis Adams appeared before the House committee on Pacific railroads this morning and submitted to the committee the rinted reports of arguments previous!: Sane by him. He then discussed the Frye bill- saying he did not object to its general pro- visions nor insist that the Union Pacific should be placed on equal terms with the Central Pacitic. The Frye bill was a good and fair bill in many respects, but there were a few material ints in which he would like to see it modified, le was forced to the conclusion that the burden which the bill imposed upon the Union Pacific company was too severe and too heavy. He did not think that he would willing to be responsible for the results for the future if the conditions of that bill were imposed upon the company, especially at this time. It was not to the in- terest of the government nor of the Union Pacific company that the company should be launched on a long voyage of fifty years weighted down to the water line, so that those who navi- gated the craft should spend half the time clinging to the rigging in order to save themselves from every wave that swept over the deck. The Frye bill loaded the company down to the water line, beyond what considered the limit of safety, He felt com- pelled on behalf of the company of which he was president to say in closing that, in his judgment, the Senate bill, in ite present form, was not one the passage of which was for the advantage of the government any more than it was for the advantage of the Union Pacific, or for that of the public the Union Pacific served. NOT IN OPEN SESSION. In the secret session today the Call resolu- tions for considesgng in open session the nomi- nations of District Judge Swayne and District Attorney Stripling of the northern district of Florida were rejected after brief debate by large majorities, The doors of the Senate were then opened. ANOTHER FEDERAL ELECTION BILL, Mr. Kelly in the House today introduced another federal election bill, The bill is con- structed on the general lines of the Senate bill on the same subject. providing that in the election of representa- tives to Congress, where it is desired by a cer- tain number of the voters in the District, the governor may take charge of such election and see that a fair vote is obtained. OPPOSED TO THE FRYE BILL. President Adams of the Union Pacific rail- road company today addressed the House com- mittee on Pacific railroads on Senator Frye’s funding bill. He opposes the bill.

The Commissioners this afternoon gave a hearing to those parties who objected to the extension of the Capitol, North O street and South Washington railway. Those present were Messra. George White, W. J. Curriden, G. H. Beaman, B. EK. Bruce, H. J. Gray, John Paul Jones, E. G. Davis, F. D, Head, J. F, Head and Capt. O. E. Dutton. They were present to object to the road running along Mass, avenue or R street, E. A. McCalmont, attorney for the road, and W. H. Cowing, president of the road, were also present. Mr. G. H. Beaman opened the discussion by objecting to the road going along Massachusetts avenue, He said that this thoroughfare was one of the finest in the District and should be — as an example of what a beautiful ave- nue Washington could afford. He was inter- rupted in his argument by President Cowing, who said that that portion of the route had been withdrawn, Mr. McCalmont then notified those it that ths company had decided to withdraw R strest as astreet over which they intended to run. The Ciscussion was then brought toa sud icn termination. President Cowing then asked the Commis- sioners over what streets the company could go. urs et 1 os ob} wood va the Fagot any to ge ee park by the nearest route. He wanted the Commissioners to settle upon some street over which the company could run. Commissioner Douglass replie that ths Commissioners cou!d not say what streets thay would recommend permission be given to the company to run over. They could only determine that when the bill was referred to them and the peuple interested had been heard. DOESN’T THINK IT CHRISTIAN. Mrs. Hoffman Gives Her Views of the American Government. “Is this @ Christian government?” was the subject of an interesting address at the Con- gregational church yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman, president of the Mis- svuri W.C.T.U., old line and unlimited. Mrs. Hoffman is a middle-aged woman, whose father was an oldtime abolitionist in New York state and aided many slaves to cross the St. Lawrence. She spoke of our treatment of the Indian as portrayed in Helen Hunt Jackson's ‘'Century of Dis- honor;" of the treatment of the negroes because their labor was valuable to the owners of southern cotton fields and the northern cotton mills; of the dis franchisement of women; of the establishment of “canteens” at all army posts and soldiers thus encouraging gambling and drunk- f favoritism to the liquor power, as shown by official papers read before the liquor dealers convention in 1872; of the refusal to | abede the women and chiliren of our country rom the evils of the liquor traffic; of the apathy and inconsistency of the church on reat moral questions, and other indictments, fom which she concluded that our country could not as yet claim to have a Christian gov- ernment. REFERRING TO THE WOMEN’S CRUSADE at Lothrop, Mo., and the cry of the godly press against such disregard of the rights of prop. erty, she stated that the county in which Loth- rop is situated adopted local option two years ago, and that since then no saloon had possessed any legal right to exist, but that in Lothrop they had each paid a fine of $10 month which was divided among the mayor, marshal and prosecuting attorney to purchase their masterly inaction. A man was stabbed and killed in one of these illegal saloons, and his wife, in the agony of despera- tion, had asked other women to go with her while she emptied the contents of the saloon on the ground, It was done, and the Speaker asked if the property ‘right in the contents of a saloon was of a higher order than the right to husband and children, Mr. F. M. Bradley made a short appeal for funds to fur- nish the new W.C.T.U. headquarters on New York avenue and, after a liberal collection, Mrs. La Fetra dismissed the meeting. At the close of Mrs. Hoffman's remarks Rep- resentative Morse arose in the audience to de- fend the Congregational church of Massachu- setts against the impression he thought had been made that the church indorsed the attitude of the Congregationalist on the liquor question, Mrs. Hoffman ac- cepted the explanation but still in- sisted that the Congregational church of Massa- chusetts and elsewhere, of which she herself is a member, is a way off on the liquor question. Miss Willard, Prof. Samuel Dickey and others are billed to speak here soon, ETRE AG TO TRY LIEUT. STEELE, Personnel of the Court Before Whom He Will Appear. The general court-martial for the trial of Lieut. Steele of Fort Yates in the now famous Steele-Wild case is to be opened tomorrow in Battery D armory. The order calling the court-martial is by Gen, George Crook, U.S.A., commanding the division of the Missouri. ‘The following will compose the court: Col James F. Wade, fifth cav- alry; Major William J. Lyster, sixth infantry; Capt. Camillo ©. ©. Carr, first cavalry; Capt. Carle A. Woodruff, second artillery; Capt. James M. J. Sanno, sev- enth infantry; Capt. Francis Moore, ninth cavalry; Capt. John B, Bgbcock, fifth cavalry; Capt. Jacob F. Munson, sixth infantry; Capt. Samuel M. Swigert, second cavalry; Capt. Charles G. Penney, sixth infantry; First. Lieut, Edgar 8. Dudley, second artillery; First. Lieut, Thomas G. Townsend, sixth infantry, and Second Lieut, Elmore F, Taggart, sixth in- fantry. ‘Yhe judge advocate will be Capt. Arthur Murray of Fort Leavenworth, Kan., acting judge advocate of the department of Mis- souri. The general order says that the court will sit without regard to hours and sessions will be held with open doors, Gen. Crook's selection of officers for the equipment of the court-martial gives universal satisfaction in army circles, None of the officers are from the department within the limits of which Lieut, Steele is stationed. They also represent the three main branches of the service. Most of the judges are now here, and Dell P. Wild, Lieut, Steele and Judge Advocate Murray will arrive today. f ‘The trial will probably be finished by the end of the week, owing to the small number of wit- nesses who know anything about the affair, The accused officer has engaged as his counsel Lieut, Crowder, of the eighth cavalry, the same troop to which Steele himself is attached, Mrs, Secretary Proctor, daughter and son willleave the city tonight for Hot Springs, N. C., to spend a few weeks. Tue Sicx- Leave of First Lieut. Luther R.

Evening Bulletin, ‘Tux Evexrne Stan of Washington, D.O., one of the largest and best daily papers in the coun- try, had a daily circulation of over 80,000 copies during 1889, an increase of over 4,000 in the last four years. A most commendable showing THE WORLD’s FAIR. Penalties—The Windom |The Route Will Not be Through Mas-|A®Proposition to Postpone Till 1893 Matters, Defeated in Committee. There was another lively mecting of the world's fair committee today, Messrs. Frank of Missouri and Bowden of Virginia were ebeent from the city, and Mr. Wilson was engaged in the ballot box investigation, As @ consequence, Chi- cago temporarily lost two members favorable to her and the committee was tied up so as to be unable to achieve any positive progress, THE FINANCIAL GUARANTEE. + The fifth section of the bill was the first matter under discussion. To this section Mr. Belden of New York Inst Saturday offered an amendment aii a positive ranteo b: the citizens of Chicago cfm teuseillion Sollee fund. Itsoon became evident that the com- mittee was equally divided on this proposition, 20 it was passed over for the time. ‘TRE DATE OF THE Farr. When section 8 (which leaves blank the date for holding the fair) was reached, Chairman Candler proposed to fill in the blanks so as to provide for the dedication and celebration October 12, 1892, and for the holding of the fair in 1893. The Chicago members all along deciared that thoy were prepared to oink, though personally they felt: is Justice to point, thor \e} 10 foreign exhibitors, and ie dow of the delay on the part of Congress in acting upon the sub- Ject, it would be better to hold the fair in 1893, REFRAINED FROM VOTING. Therefore when the question was put on Mr. Candler’s motion they refrained from voting and the chairman found himself alone in voting for the motion, and it was lost There- upon the dates were filled in so as to require the fair to be opened April 30, 1892, and closed October 20 of the game yaar. The entire bill was then read over and agreed Bpon excepting section 5, which will be acted acon at another meeting to be held tomorrow, Maa it is hoped @ full atvendance will be MAY BE RECONSIDERED, It is probable that if the Chicago men gather in force, then, they will make an effort to re- verse the action of today, fixing the date for holding the fair. ST. PATRICK’S DAY. No General Celebra‘tton—The Entertain- ment Tonight. Emerald flags, with the uncrowned harp, were to be seen floating from several buildings around town today and green leaves to repre- sent the shamrock were worn on many breasts, but there-was no parade or other public cele- bration of St, Patrick's day. The Irish societies did not turn out, parade, nor did they attend as organizations the services at St. Patrick's church in honor of their patron saint, The services st that church this morning, however, were peculiarly interesting. Mass was celebrated at. 10 o'clock and the church was packed, standing room being all that late comers could ask for. Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic university, took part in the ceremony. Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia preached the panegyric of the suint, and his address was an able and eloquent tribute to the memory of that great man about whom so much has been written, but of whom so little is really known with his- torical accuracy. Archbishop Ryan is regarded as one of the most eloquent orators in the Catholic church. and the simple announcement that he is to preach is always sure to bring to- gether a large audience. A number of other priests from this city were present and took part in the services, which were of a very im- pressive nature, ‘The choir rendered Hayden No. 2 and a por- tion of Marzo. The soloists of the mass were Mies Ella Vandoren, Mrs. J. Esputa Daley, Messrs. L. E. Gannon, B, A. Ryan, Jas, Collins, A. Fennell; organist, Miss Loulie Boone; direc- tor, Sig. Mariano Maina, The sweet voice of Miss Marie Decca was heard in the Vem Creator before the sermon. Sig. M. Maina sang in fine style at the offertory “Creator Alme Liderum.” The choir was assisted by members of St. Matthew’s, St. Dominick's and Immaculate Conception. SENATORS WHO WORE THE GREEN. St. Patrick’s day was not celebrated with much outward show in the Senate. Only one democrat wore the green—Senator Reagan— and he was as a Hibernian oasis in a desert of unadorned clothing. On the republican side there was a very fair proportion of Erin. Sham- rocks adorned the flower buttonholes in the coats of Senators Teller and Allison, and there was a profusion of green ribbons and vegeta- tion on the breasts of Senators Blair, Sherman, Paddock and Mitchell. The latter gentleman was on both sides of the question, for on his desk was s bunch of roses that narrowly es- caped being orange in hue. MUSICAL AND LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT. The alumni of St. John’s college will give a musical and literary entertainment this even- ing at 7:30 in the college building on Vermont avenue in honor of St. Patrick's day, ‘The pro- gtam that has been arranged includes songs and solos by Messrs. Galt, Brosnan, Goodchild, Libbey, West, McEnaney, O'Connor, Forsythe, French, Ryan and Waldecker, and recitations and addresses by Messrs. Shea, Dolan, O'Neill, O'Donoghue, Sbulteis, Madigan, Nolan, Walsh, Moran and DeLacy. —>—____ VERMONT AVENUE EXTENSION. What Capt. Rossell Says About It—It Will Cost More Now. The Commissioners have before them a let- ter from the House committee on appropria- tions calling attention to the fact that applica- tion has been made to the committee to make provision in the appropriation bill for the opening and extension of Vermont ave- nue to 7th street and requesting their views on the same. Capt. Ros- sell has reported on the matter and says that the same subject was before the Bommis- sioners in March, 1888. The subject of the ex- tension of Vermont avenue from Boundary to the 7th street road has been under considera tion on various occasions since 1882 and the Project ‘has heretofore been recommended. apt, Rosell says the Commissioners have suf- ficient authority to inaugurate proceedings to- ward condemnation of lands over the proposed route, but have been unable to do anything in the, matter for the want of an appropria- tion to pay for land damages. He says that in 1882 an estimate of the costof damage was E: upon 8 cents per square foot of land, at $71,400. Since that time some of the land has increased from two to three times in value, increasing the cost to $200,000. He says farther, that the Commissioners ure powerless in the’ absence of any specific appropria- tion to pay land dam: ps toward opening and condemning this avenue. Recognizing the desirability of opening this, as well as other important streets and avenues of the District he recom- mends such general legislation as will enable the Commissioners to take the ——t action in this and similar cases, Since 1838, he says, real estate in this locality has improved again in value to such an extent that it will probably cost from $250,000 to $300,000 todo now what could have been done for ——ee UNDER A TERRIBLE CHARGE. Arrest of the Prefect of an Institute for the Blind, W. King, prefect of the Pennsylvania institution for the instruction of the blind, was arrested yesterday, charged with immoral con- duct, on a warrant sworn out by Thos, W. Bur- low, a member of the state board of charities. The arrest is the outcome of an investigation begun on Tuesday last by the board of man- agers of the institution of LIQUOR LICENSE PROLLEMS. A LIQUOR LAW QUESTION. How the District. Commissioners are | Is the Selling of Liquor to Inmates of the Solving Them—Free Pool Col. Robert left Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock for Philadelphia to make arrangements for the transfer of his family to this city. Dur- ing his absence nothing will be done toward granting liquor licenses, The recent action of the board in granting and refusing applications has created quite « stir among the liquor men generally. Col. Robert has given his personal attention to this important question and has inangurated a rule relative to pool tables which will be the means of success- fully breaking up what he considers es Practice, He hastaken the stand, and is supported in it by Commis- sioner Douglass, that where free is allowed no bar-room _hicense Pag be Biven. His reason for this is that where free [sg is allowed it holds out an inducement for le to drink. Among other things Col. © only did it e ally witnessed s, performance and the class of people who frequent the bar room. Commissioner Douglass still adheres to his four- in-a-block rule, but the majority of the Com- missioners are not in favor of this Where the ——e are from a basi- ness ity Commissioner Hine is of the opinion that saloons should re- ceive licenses without 'd to how many there are in the block, but that they should be eliminated in the resident portion of the city. Before the Commissioners get throngh there will be many applicants without a license and the bar rooms will be greatly reduced. As is generally known the Commissioners, after once Te! ® license, allow the applicants five days in which to file a paper asking for a re- consideration. Upon a recousideration, if the plication is rejected, the place will be closed for the year. —s——— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A PROPOSED BOARD. Capt Lusk today wrote # letter to Col.

Charles Hudson, Richard Goodall and Frank Bell, colored boys, were tried in the Police Court this afternoon on two charges of larceny. They were arrested by Policeman Holmes, Bell, who 1s only fifteen years old, admitted his guilt and claimed that he was drunk at the time he committed the offense. Hudson, who has served time in the reform school, said he was three days over sixteen years old, and the judge told him it was a pity that he was not three days under that age, so he could return him to that institution, but as he was over sixteen years he would have to go jail. One year was his sen- tence, Frank Bai had never been in prison before and he was sent to the reform school, Goodall, who has spent more than two years in the reform school, was sentenced back to that institution “during minority,” emphasized the judge. Relief for the Starving Chippewas. At the request of the Indian office the Pres- ident will use €2,000 of an appropriation for subsisting certain Indian territory tribes for relief of the Turtle Mountain Chippewas, who are starving to death, Caught in the Elevator.

While they were at the northwest corner of the Senate wing elevator one of them, it is charged, lifted off the seat a dilapidated pocket book which was awaiting an owner. The elevator conductor, Ned Atherton, requested them to give the purse up, but they refused. Then Mr. Atherton locked the elevator door and sent @ boy to summon a Capitol policeman. The prisoners were then conducted to the guard room and from thence were taken to Lieut, Kelley's hotel. ———__—_ Marriage Licenses.

Judge Miller this morning gave judgment im the Gallagher liquor case. The defendant keeps a saloon on the 7th street road and was charged with selling liquor to soldiers, inmates of the Soldiers Home. The evidence in the case was heard some time ago. Mr. C.

It is Inaugurated This Morning—Peo ple Who Did Not Respond. Saint Patrick's day was anything but hol iday for the letter carriers in this city, The early delivery went into effect this morning and they had to be at their poste of duty at an carlier hour than they have been accustomed to heretofore. By the way, it would appear to a casual observer as though Ireland's saint and his followers were Rot in as high standing with the post office offi- cials as they should be.

Mr. Jus, E. Bell, superintendent of the free delivery, was at his desk betore 5 o'clock to see thing was working all right. In er to a STAu reporter's questions this morn- ing he said that of course the early delivery could — not have been laaugurated during the winter months when the sun docs Rot rise until late, and it would probably have to be discontinued next winter, but at this season of the year and from now on he said he felt sure the early deuvery would be ciated by every 4 a eee POTTERS FikiD CROWDED, Proposed Extension of the Grounds— Suggestion of the Health Officer, Some weeks ago Intendent Stoutenburgh of the Washington asylum in a letter to the Com- missioners called attention to the fact that the cemetery connected with the asylum and known as potters ficld was in an overcrowded condition. In view of this fact and the impos- sibility at present of making any other Provision for the burial of the in- digent poor of the District he suggested the regrading of the ground, so that it can be used over again. The letter was referred to the health officer at the time with the request that he report at an early date as to whether or not the plan proposed would be objectionable or not. In bis report on the subject he says he thinks that the idea had beticr be aban- doned, but calls attention to the fact that there is a large quantity of vacant space on reserva- tion 13 available for an addition to the present cemetery and incloses a diagram and recom- meands that the pe lying to the north of the eastern end of the old grounds be designated for this purpose. ‘This ground has been used here- tofore for the interment of paupers dying at the emali pox hospital. There is some ques- tion as to the owuership of the grounds and Attorney Hazleton has recommended that Con- gress be asked to grant the same to the Dis- trict. It is understood that a letter to this ef- fect will be seut to Congress in a day or so, YESTERDAY THE COLDEST DAY, Killing Frosts in the South Two Weeks Later Than Ever Koown There, The signal office furnishes the following special bulletin to the press: ‘The report from western portions of North and South Carolina and from eastera Tennes- see show that Sunday moruing was colder than any morning during the past winter.
