A LETTER FROM THE SFCRETARY OF WAR AND A NERAL WANAMAEER ECW BY POSTMASTER ETARY PROCTOR'S TRIBUTE TO THE SOL- ‘KS —-REMARKS DY ‘The temperance people of Washington turned ont en masse last night and filled the Foundry M.E. Church, corner of 1th and G streets northwest. The occasion was a grand mass meeting of the non-partisan branch of the army and navy departments of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The church was crowded, the audience contained many persons noted in political and social life, The presence of a lar, number of Uncle Sam's troops in aniform, reinforced by a number of | 8, made a pleasing spectacle. the altar were Mrs. Foster, the president Offthe assogiation; Mrs. Tilton, Miss sane, Rev. Dr. Elliott, the pastor of the church; Rep- ssachusetts, Capt. Jack put; Hon. Hiram Price, Indian affairs, and Chap- Ps uERS. sioner of ex-comr Jain Hoes of th Ore: The meeti navy. PRE CREDINGS, was ealled to order by Mra. Foster. who made a short address and intro- duced Miss Pierce, who rendered im excellent siyle that beautiful song, “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.” Mrs. Foster then gave a history of the organization of the non-partisan society of the W.c.T.U., and introduced Miss Chase, who fol- lowed with au address history of mnection with thesocicty. She read a report of the new society for the months of Febru: and March. During that period, she 6 nine! men took the pledge. She in terspersed ber re s with several letters irom prisoners in jail for desertion. One letter complimentary of the tration of the War Department, SERGEANT'S SPEECH. givin; Sergeant McChesney of Fort Meyer then gave a pleasing accozat of how he was saved trom akenness and told of the untiring efforts of the ladies in behalf of the soldiers, His remarks were ty and interspersed anecdotes e of the great influence the society of on had exorcised on the army. At Fort Mey uid there were forty- two good nand great prospects aman in yer today for druukeu- record to be proud of. PROCTOR'S LETTER, a letter from Secretary Proctor, in which he eaid, after expressing his regrets at not being able to be present: “I hearti pathize with the efforts of your society in behalf of temperance in the army and navy and shall do everything in my power to aid the good work. I am not prepared to admit that the soldiers of our army are more intemperate than other classes of men. If asol- dier has drunk too much his very uniform makes it noticeable, a thus do them as a class injustice. the more I have seen of the soldiers of our army the greater respect I bave had for them. As a rule they are men Of intelligence and of marked devotion to duty. Still it is true that they are exposed to great temptations, ‘The warm blood of youth and heatth runs quick in their veins, and they are deprived of the guiding and restraining influ- ences of home and family. ‘Their service is largely on the fronticr and subject to the in- fluences of new settlements. ‘They are subject, too, to the extreme of physical hardship and cx- posure, and at other times to the ener- vating influences of monotony and routine, both extremes being severe tests of the moral fiber. Bui however much or little asaclass they may, 2s compared with others, need the efforts of the friends of temperance, itis trne they do need them, and we, on the other hand, owe them a peculiar duty. The dangers they meet and the temptations they encounter are result of service for us ali, for our common country. I have often thought that the charches and good people in the vi- cinity of posts ought to a greater extent than they do strive to estabiish friendiy relations with the soldiers and to interest themselves in their welfare. The officials of the department and the officers of the army do not desire to and will not shirk the duty which is upon them with reference to this matter, but they wel- come the organized and effective aid of your ty, for there is a tield of work and it has possibilities.” n Hoes of the navy spoke of the tem- perance work among the sailors. The announcement that Postmaster General Wanamaker was inthe church brought forth enthusiastic applause, and he graciously knowledged the greeting by accepting a seat upon the platform. CAPT. JACK CRAWFORD was the next speaker. He referred to the great evil that existed on the frontier of selling hquor to red r and attributed all the In- dian outbreaks to whisky. He gave a touching history of his life and concluded his remarks by reading a poem written in the Black Hills during the Custer campaign, entitled “Mother's Prayers.” Mr. Wanamaker was deeply interested in the story and when Capt. Crawford had finished heartily applauded him, CONGRESSMAN MORSR'S SPEECH. Representative Morse began his speech by Saying that he didu’t believe there was any safety for any man except by total abstinence from strong drink. Why? Because alcohol is abrain poison and the brain is the seat of the will, and before the man knew it he had Jost bis will power and was a drunkard and couldn't stop. There were men in Washington tonight, he said, who could no more stop drinking than you could tarn the sun back- ward, and he warned his hearers against the outer circle of this awful maelstrom that destroyed the body and _ the soul. Itwas of great consequence to these young persons, he continued, in the morning of life liat they start and lay the foundations of their character well. What would you put into a young man’ * queried the speak *-You anticipate one thing—you would sa ‘Touch not, taste not, handle not. strong drink.’ Is that all?” he continued. \ hada voice that would drown the thunder of Neagara I'd thunder in your ears the words of the book, ‘Remember thy Creator,” &c. Mr. Morse finished his remarks by referring tothe bill which passed Congress yesterday allowing the soldiers grog. fic said he had done bis utmost to defeat it, but they beat him. What was the result? Congress had connected with the army canteen a beer saloon, on the theory that it would prevent intemperance among the soldiers by giving them inghter drinks, such as beer and cider. These, he con- tinued, are the devil's kindling wood, and the best thing to do is to starve the canteen. Hon. Hiram Price was the next speaker. He made a stirring temperance address and hit the general and loca! government on the way they bandied the liquor question. POSTMASTER GENERAL WANAMAKER. Mrs. Foster then introduced Mr. Wana- maker, not as the postmaster, but as the super- intendent of a large Philadelphie Sunday echool. He thanked the andience for the greeting and said he came to the meeting unsolicited. He came only for the good he hoped to get out of it, for he felt ax though it was just such a meeting as he yearned for. There was a great deal tonight, he continued, to make them hope; she large audience, for instance, so deeply in. terested in the work, was one thing, and then again the fact that the meeting was heldin Wash- ington was auother. “John Brown's body lies & mouldering iu the grave,” he continued, quot- ing from the song. “but his soul goes marching ou.” So would this truth, the temperance cause, go forth, ever marching and doing good but never being baried. but, he continued, there isa higher cause, the cause over which Goa Teigned. and they needed His help to con- quer ail enemies. He referred to the beaching of the ocean steamer City of Paris, but said that the loss of all the steamers of the Juman line was a small affair compared to the loss of one soul by strong drink. He said fur- ther that he believed, not as a spectator, but as One who loved the cause of temperance, that the time would come when a man would not be astave tothe devil of strong drink. In con- cluding his remarks he said: Ha’ e confidence, soldier and sailor boys, Hold on and God wili help you to bring into your ranks many and mauy 4 man who shall stand with you 1 jot Emperor William's knowledge. CITY OF PARIS HERSELF AGAI She Goes to Liverpool Under Her Own | Steam, The City of Paris has been relieved of the mass of water in her engine rooms, her port engine put in working order and last night she proceeded to Liverpool under steam. There is some question as to the condition of her hull. A Queenstown dispatch says the divers em- ployed in examining the hull ascertained that the broken machinery pounded a hole through | the bottom of the vessel and this accounted for the rapidity with which the engine rooms and other sections filled with water. The agents of the Inman lise, however, telegraphed from Queenstown as follows: “The flooded compartm of the City of | Paris have all been pumped dry. Close exami- | nation shows that the bottom of the vessel 18 | uninjured and that all the bulkheads are sound | except those in the engine room, which were somewhat damaged from the pounding of the broken machinery. The port engines are in working condition and the steamer will leave | Queenstown for Liverpool under her own | steam., In our judgment the vessel was | throughout perfectly safe and everything in- | dicates that she would have continued to float indefinitely as she was without further sub- | mersion or risk after the original disaster oc- | curred.” | ‘The rapidity with which the engine room | filled is accounted for bya theory thata portion of the broken cylinder crashed down upon and broke the pipes and valves leading to the con- | densers of the starboard engine. There are | four of these pipes, each 20 inches in diameter, and they have openings in the vessel's side many feet below the water line. They supply | the water for cooling the steam in’ the con- | densers. If these were broken and the valves | destroyed it would not take long to fill the ad- | joining compartments with water, for it would | Tush in from the four holes in the side at the | rate of hundreds of gallons a second. The City of Paris lett Queenstown at 9:30 a.m. She was assisted out of the harbor by a tug, but | once outside she parted with the tug and went | ahead aloue at a fast rate of speed by means of her port engine. She was followed by two tugs. 2+ TREASURER ARCHE! RESIGNS. The Maryland Defaulter Says He Alone is to Blame. Governor Jackson rece defaulting State Treasurer yesterday tendering his resignation and stating that if there was any shortage in his accounts | he alone was to blame, as the clerks in the treasurer's ofice had ail performed their duties | honestly and faithfully. The letter is as follows: | Beware, March 31, 1890, Ex1av Jackson, Governor of Maryland: Sz: [herewith tender you my resignation as | treasurer of Maryland. During the four years! of the incumbency of the oftice by me over | $13,500,000 have been received and disbursed by my office, every dollar of which has been serupaiousiy accounted for by the efticient, d a letter from Stevenson Archer orious aud honest employes in my o: 30 | that the books correspoud exactly with the | charges against me in the controiler’s office, I say this in justice to those officers. ‘The safe | deposit boxes in Baltimore, which held the sinking fund belonging to the state, were under my sole aud exclusive control, no other person ever having had access to them since I have | been in oftice. y irregularity in the funds | in those boxes is attributable to me alone. If | this cannot be explained then I must submit to the majesty of the law, | Jiespectfully, STEVENSON ARCHER. Senator Gorman, Gov. Jackson and Attorney neral Whyte held a conference in Baltimore yesterday te consider the defalcation and, it is reported, to take steps to prevent the affair be- | coming any more of a political scandal, Gor- man an’ the governor are said to have advo- | compromise with the bondsmen, who are determined to resist payment of the amount of the deficit on the ground that the governor failed to protect them by not performing his | duty in examining semi-annually the treasurer | under oat Unless a settlement can be effected the case will go into the courts. While both Gorman and the governor have stated that they desired tie legislative committee to make a full investigation. they also want to prevent any- thing like a political AN OPPONENT FOR VEST. Jefferson Chandler Announces His Can- didacy for the Senate. Last night Jeff. Chandler made formal decla- ration of his candidacy as a protection demo- crat for a seat in the United States Senate now oceupied by Geo. G. Vest. Chandler is now the general attorney of the Missouri, Arkansas and Texas railroad. A meeting was held in St. Louis at which Chandler made a vigorous speech. On the tariff he declared that the democratic party had pledged itself to reduce | excessive tariff duties to the needs of the gov- ernment, but at the same time to keep in view | the fact that investments had been made and | rates of wages had been fixed under certain circumstances, and they should reach this object through a method that would occasion as little disagreement of existing industries as possible. He closed by saying: gainst the gentleman whose term in the Senate is about to expire Lhave nothing to say. I have lived im the state since boyhood and I | am a democrat. Iwant to pay back to the state a part of my obligation to it by aiding in | the effort to exterminate the valdalism of ring | rule.” -coo— Purchase of a Railroad System. Official announcement was made yesterday | afternoon that the East Tennessee, Virgitita and Georgia railroad had contracted for the pur- | chase of the Erlanger system, comprising about | 1,200 miles of road, at a cost of $5,300,000, President Thomas of the East Tennessee com- | ny said that the main object of the East | Tennessee company in the purchase is to make | their line a leading north and south line, start- ing from Cincinnati and reaching Jacksonville, Fla., Moble on the gulf, Shreveport, New Or- leans and Memphis. soe Chauncey Depew at Atlanta. Chauncey M. Depew, Abram S. Hewitt, John H. Inman, John C. Calhoun and other New Yorkers arrived at Atlanta yesterday and have been entertained by Atlanta friends. The party was given a public reception and were | afterward entertained by the Capital City | Club at luncheon. Messrs. Depew and Hewitt, | Gov. Gordon and others made short speeches. soe Jules Simon Likes the Kaiser. The Berlin National Gazette's Paris corre- spondent telegraphs as follows: “M. Jules Simon, one of the French delegates to the Labor Conference. was surprised at the extent He said, “The peror has greatly changed. He has | been falsely represented to us for some months, | If the Labor Conference has no immediate practical result it will be useful in spite of sceptics; it will be the signal fora new de- | parture i} in an interview published in Paris as to Bis- | marck’s resignation M. Simon says the retiring prince did not seem to regret it, The ex- chancellor, in speaking with him, praised the | brilliant and solid qualities of Parisians and , the vital force of France, declaring also that he had always loved the French and knew of | no capital more beautiful or more attractive than Paris. M. Simon says that Prince Bus- marck’s departure from Berlin presented a spectacle never to be forgotten. se Justice Lamar Tells It. H From the Chicago Herald. Justice Lamar, who never accepts a pass or j present of any kind tells of himself this one: “Down in the locality I call my home lives old John Dillard. Some years ago John presented me with a very fine Alderney cow. I said: ‘John, I never receive presents,’ ‘Well,’ he re- plied, ‘Lamar, just give me your note, and, as you will never pay it anyway, you will be nothing out and a cow ahead.’” santas <soe _ Maj.

LOUISVILLE IS HOPEFUL. A Large Fund Raised for the Needy by the Relief Committee. Under a bright, smiling sky the people in Louisville's desolated district took heart yes- terday, says a Philadelphia Press correspond- enton the ground, and as a result last night witnessed a groatimprovement in the condition of affairs. In the business portion a great many of the tobacco men and merchants have resumed transactions, In the resident portion nothing but the scarcity of bricklayers, car- penters and tinners hinders the work of rebuld- ing. The water situation is unchanged. Whether there will be a famine or not depends upon an experiment which the water works engineer will attempt with the broken standpipe today. If he can make a temporary uir chamber of the portion of the pipe which remains standin they can start the pumps, otherwise they will be unable to do so, There are now only about six feet of water in the reservoir and it is being rapidly exhausted, | The engineer says that Monday 7,590,000 gal- lons of water were used in the city—about twice as much as he expected would have been used and as ought to have been used. With the most rigid economy the supply cannot last more than three days longer. RELIEVING THE NEEDY. At the board of trade relict room applica- tions for assistance continue to come in, At pregent nothing but absolute need is relieved and that only for the present, A hasty glance over the books shows that only small sums have been given out, A few were as large as €20 and they were for burial expenses. The majority were €3 and $5 distributiows. No asis for gencral disbursement in cases of the destruction of property has yet been arranged. The present object of the committee is to serve the urgent needs, and reserve for the future, when the rush somewhat abates, the arrang: | mrents for greater and more general distribu- tions, The amount of subscriptions, including the stm of £20,000 subscribed by councils and $10,000 by the Louisville and Nashville rail- road. raises the grand totul to about £95.01 ‘The legislature has also subscribed an addi tional $30,000, The city health officer, Dr. Gath, is fearfui of an epidemic of some kind asone of the indi- | If there is a water } famine he predicts an epidemic. In an inter- view he said: 4 “On account of the way most of the resi- dences, hotels, business houscs and factoric are built the pipes in which the refuse and filth Tt will remain in the pipes sending its disease-breed- ing odors into the air, Today Ihave had sev- eral notifications of buildings in which the water pipes have been obstructed, and Ihave had the sanitary corps out attending to them. I trust that people will not consider this as simply a sensational statement, made during a moment of unnecessary alarm. ‘The situation is dangerous and I urge upon the people the vital necessity of being careiul with what little water remains.” THIEVES ARRESTED. Several thieves, who were working among the stores on Market street, were arrested yester- day. Among the number wasa finely dressed man, who gave the namo of Thomas Cronii Pittsbarg, Pa. He had over $160 in his pocket, besides a gold watch and chain and a number of letters.” He is over six feet high and is thirty-one years old. If the work of repairing and rebuilding goes on as rapidly for the ensuing two weeks as it has there will not be many business firms re- maining idle. Louisville after her terrible sitation of last week is still a trifle unsteady juck her business men and other tornado sufferers are exhibiting it will be only a question of a few weeks until she is as firmly on her fect as be- fore, and that condition she hopes to reach without asking for outside aid. NO CHICAGO QUOTATIONS, The Board ot Trade Carries Out Its Intentions Regarding the Instruments. Heretofore ata little before 9:15 0’clock every morning a procession of about 150 telegraph operators has formed on the lower floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, marched up to the exchange hall, and, scattering to the different tables, has “raised” New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Detroit, Minne- apolis, Duluth and a hundred other different points and has opened for them all continuous and instantaneous connection with the Chicago ‘Today there will be no telegraph instruments on the floor of the exchange. Every key and every wire was removed by the telegraph com- panies at the request of the Board of Trade yesterday. The companies will not even be allowed to “tube” messages from the main floor of the office below. The directors of the board decided Monday, at thei special meeting. to order all the tel graph instruments off the floor before business The order was not made public because it was thought it would be more courteous to notify the companies. — vee AGAINST COLORED ENUMERATORS | The Very Intemperate Utterances of a Fiery Georgia Editor. G. A. Persons, editor and proprietor of the Monticello, Ga., Times, in yesterday's issue of master General Wanamaker. This article is inspired by the rumors on every hand that two colored citizens are booked for census enumer- ators for Jackson county and that another col- ored man expects to be postmaster at Mon cello, The paper admits that “to the victors belong the spoils, but the article concludes as follows: “We do not profess to speak for other coun- ties and towns, We are speaking for our own county and we can say now once for all, our people do not want negroes in office over them f re- publican bosses and negro place hunters choose rd our warning they do so at the risk leluded negro who accepted an office in What we have written we have of the Jasper written.” coe England and America, From the Inter Ocean, Lord Salisbury is alarmed because he is grow- ing fat and weighs 230 pounds. He need not be alarmed. Grover Cleveland weighs nearly 300 pounds and he expects to make another Gen. Hastings Would Not Accept. Washisigton Special to the Philadelphia Times, | The rumor that Gen. Hastings would be of- fered and that he would accept the newly created office of assistant secretary of war is entirely premature. No such offer has been made to Gen. Hastings and he could not now accept it if tendered to him. If Gen. Hastings were to accept the appointment and retire from the race for govegnor it would be regarded as a bargain in the inferestof Delamater that would only intensify the opposition to both Quay and Delamater, and it would greatly weaken Gen. Hastings with the people. He will stay in the field for governor and without any contract for another place. After the convention shali have decided against him, as now seems probable, he aight oe be tendered a position worthy of him in the interests of harmony, but the assist- ant secretaryship of war will be filled long be- fore that time. ae A Noble Organ Grinder, Ascene occurred in the London Strand yes- terday afternoon, when Viscount Hinton, the son and_heir of Earl Paulett, who has made | himsel{@otorious by playidg the part of clown in pantomimes, was grinding 1n organ, ac- companied by his wife. An aristocratic-iook- ing gentleman arerceabed them and endea- vored to persuade the erratic viscount to desist, offering him a clerkship on the stock exchange. ‘The offer was loudly declined in the presence of some five hundred assembled people. Hinton then became very excited and swore that he would never alter his course of life until his father died. During the exhibition Lady Hinton carried round the hat to collect coppers, and the resi ebtias gentleman re- treated amidst the of the crowd. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S.

Prot, MBs Snax” atta teenth oie eee eet 2O8 THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pute lic, in good faith and with confidence, as THE | BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, it may be truthfully 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 Tue Sram on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. ‘The Star has thrce times the circu- ation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2 The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily | papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the c' where printed, in proportion reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news- paper im the world!!! 4. fhe Star has the largest regutar and permanent home circulation of Any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States !!!t In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the figures following: PAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-89, ISS3. 1886. ISS7, SSS, 1SS9, 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 27,453 ! 25,521 21,033 22,302 24,905 25,324 21,497 21,701 24,807 25,946 22,049 23,651 25,697 2S.s14 23,000 24,687 26,166 26,752 Av'g0.22,123 23,682 23,484 27,082 Increare....... 1,559 1,803 1,598 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 80.090 copies circulated daily, no more then 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulation 4m the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of $24 PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers, ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represcnt the salos over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regniarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the fumily circle. While its aggregate circulation thero- fore gives Tur Stan a distinctive anil 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 no 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 bueiness 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 Tur 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 pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEM.NTS £KINTED Et 1885 -86-87-88-80, 1886. 3,200 (3.064 3.806 4,355 4,197 3,938 3,235 2.882 sss. 4,076 3.924 4,603 4,986 S17k 4,606 3,013 6.107 5,795, 4,208 4,879 4,250 3,806 ‘TOTAL 41,499 45,910 54,038 54,501 65,522 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. 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 yas 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columus ia the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre- vious yearof1444columns! And this, it must be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing . in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ete., such 28 occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im its patrom exe. . In conclasion, it is only necessary to say that, 4m proportion to the extezt and high charactet Of its circulation, Tux Stan's edvertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, , and to add, finally, that every statement hereis « made can be abundantly verified THE CIE CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO, TTS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOK® "MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING ai INTEBEST IN THEIR EXAMINATION
