ML a PAN-AMERICAN HARMONY. Colombia in Entire Accord With Her Sister Republics, The State Department has received from Mnister Abbott at Bogota scopy of certain remarks by the president of Colombia on the subject of the recent Pan-American congress as follows: “The meeting of the international American conference, which took place in Washington during the last months of the past year aud the first of the present, has beeu an cvent of singular importance, not caly to Colombia, but to ail our continent.

In the sfternoom session of thé single tax Convention in New York yesterday the five delegates at large, who, with a delegate from each state in the conference and the one from the District of Columbia, will constitute the national committee, were appointed as follows: Wm. T. Croasdale, Louis F. Post, August Lewis, R. D. Gordon and G, St. John Leuvens. A recess was then taken to allow the delega- tions from the states to select their own dele- gates. The result was as follows: National committes—Alsbama, B, C. Norton; California, H. L. Pleace; Colorado, James W. Buok!in; Connecticut, Lawrence B. Sharon; Delaware, Geo. W.

It was agreed to refer the work of issuing an address to all labor organizations through- out the country to the national committee. THE MASS MERTING. Fally 2,000 people attended the mass meeting in Coopor Union last night to hear speeches by the leading single taxers. As Dr. McGlynn came into the hall the meeting rose on masse and cheered. There were lond cries of “‘plat- form,” but Dr. McGlynn merely bowed hia ac- kuowiedgments and took a seat at the back of the hall. Chairman E. QO. Brown of Chicago said: “Single tax men hold the divine right of man to himself, aud that moans his divine right to liberty and the fruits of his own labor.” Wm. Lloyd Garrison spoke at some length ot the progress of the single movement and the position of the democratic and republican parties in regard to it, The mention of Mr. Cleveland's free trade message evoked loud cheers from the meeting. Our reform has been marked with great wisdom. Its power has been felt by the democracy of the state of New York and the republicans of the country, H. F. Ring of Texas told how Texas would be benefited by single tax. He was followed by Judge Maguire of San Francisco, Le@ Merriweather of Missouri said tho wis- dom of man should devise a system by which every man could get the result of his labors, H. Martin Williams of Missouri was the next speaker. Thomas L. Johnson of Cleveland, Onio, said the idea of single taxers was to tax man--make aman pay in proportion tothe amount of paeania occupies. This country has substi- tuted the monopolist for the aristocrat, and has lost by the change. A. H. Stevenso1 of Philadelphia said that although Pennsylvania was highly gifted by nature, she was awfully cursed by men. Although rich and fertile she has thousmds of paupers. In Pennsylvauia the democrats have a good man nominated for governor, but a bet- ter one for lieutenant gove: Chauncey F. Black was as gooda singie taxer as could be ocrutic party, the speaker said, can nevor carry Pennsylvania as a protectionist party. H. Balton Smith said the abolitionists had not freed the biack man, but the single tax proposed to do it, C. J. Buell of Minneapolis said that the standard bearer of the Farmers’ Alliance in his state, Sidney M. Owen, would rescuo the state from protection, SPEECH LY HENRY GEORGE. Itnow came Henry George's turn to speak. The chairman introduced him as a free-trader, a single-taxer and the author of “Progress and and he adde: ‘This is his birthday, and he is fifty-one years old.” Mr. George was enthusiastically received. Ho said, judging from the speeches he heard, he was no longer needed on the platform. There were others than he to talk single tax. A few years ago he said that they were educating men in the movement who would change the destinies of the country, and he was glad to see his pre- dictions were true. But it was the silent work- ers who were making the progress—the men and women who worked incessantly and made no fuss aboutit. They sought no office and had no use for a political party, except to further their own cause. This couciuded tho speech making, and the meeting dispersed at 11:15. soe --_ KILLED BY THE CARS, A Prominent Philadelphia Lawyer Meets a Sudden Death. Lawrence Lewis, jr., one of the best known and most learned members of the junior bar of Philadelphia, met with a shocking death yesterday morning by being ran over by the rear of a train at Frazer, on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad. While standing in |_ the crowd Mr. Lewis met Mr. Henry Wheien of the firm of Townsend, Whelen & Co., who has just returned from abroad, and stood chatting with him until the Parkesburg train came along. The local train from West Chester was still standing on the track a little beyond the end of the platform. It had begun to back on the siding just os the Parkesburg train ar- rived, and Mr. Lewis went to cross the track to get to the express train. His peril was in- stantly seen by the Seong ce passengers, who shouted 4 warning. Mr. Lewis was caught by the rear cur of the backing train and thrown under the car. Notuing was seen of him after that but his mangled and almost unrecogniza- bie remains. Mr. Lewis was in his thirty-fourth year. He seven years ago married Miss Dora Kelly, a daughter of Henry K. Kelly of the firm of Samuel & Frank Field, who survives him with three smail children, Sastachanads re CE BOARD OF ARBITRATION, Closing Testimony at the Sitting Yester- day Afternoon, The state board of arbitration of New York continued its hearing ot the New York Central case after Tur Stan’s report closed yestorda;. Charles Malloy said he was a Knight of Labor, and after eight years’ service in the em- ploy of the New York Central railroad was dis- charged July 28, no reason being given him ex- cept that ho had told a lie about a pass, which witness denied, Johu Devlin, executive committeeman of the knights, who resides in Windsor, Ont., who also attempted to bring about a settlement with the railroad people, testified to the fruitless- ness of his errand. E. J. Lee, recalled, introduced the cor- respondeuce which passed ‘between himself and T. V. Powderly. The latter advised him to move cautiously, as he was competing with & corporation that controlled millions of dollars where the labor party controlled cents. Mr. Powderly advised him to prevent a strike, if it were possible to do so, Powderly, in one let- ter, stated that Depew was a possible candi- date for the Presidency and that it would be best to await his rotura from Europe before any decisive step was taken. *-A* strike’ not won in ten days was lost,as workmen would not pay, to maintain strikes,” was the way Mr. Pow argued. ‘1. V. Powderly was next called to the stand by Gen. Pryor. He testified that both Mr. Webb and Mr. Youcey bad denied him an interview. His only object, he said, in calling ‘wpon those officials was to asceriain if the who had been discharged had been gotten rid of simply becanse they were Knights of Labor. He maintained that the road had no more right to discharge them for this reason than if it had beon # matter of religion. - ‘The hearing was then adjourned tntil today. ‘Tributes to John Royle O'Reilly. A large audience filled Tremont Temple, Bostou, last night for the purpose of paying tribute to the memory of ibe lato John Boyle O'Keilly. It was a gathering representative of ali classes of society, and ite action plainly showed the high esteem and houor in which the dead it and scholar was Aeld by the ™masses, Addresses were made by Gon. B. F. Batler, Col. ‘T. W, Higginson, Hon. E. G. ‘m. and others. Hart called the meeting to. order, Pants THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.c., WHDN FAY TEMPLETON’S DIAMONDS, Mr. Osborn Much Pertarbed by the Custom House Trouble. A Paris dispatch to the New York World says: Howell Osborn is not easily fright- ened, particularly when he has a plethoric purse; but the news cabled from America that his valet had been arrested with jewels for Fay Terapletor disturbed him a great deal. The World correspondent asked him for his version .| of the story. “Tho truth about the jewelry is this,” said he. “Miss Templeton before leaving Paris, knowing that she must have a good wardrobe to appear in New York, borrowed a large sum of money on her diamonds and other trinkets to pay her dross maker's bills, This jewelry was all given to her by me during the past two year. A good deal of it was bought here at ‘iffuny’s, and some of it she has already worn in New York, but it was all her private property. I suppose it was worth about B50, 000, certainly not than 50.000. Almost im- mediately on her arrival she sent over money to Paris to redoem her jewelry, and I, boing auxious that she should havo it for her first ap- pearance, for 1 wanted her to look as good as the best, you know, sent it over by my valet, He was my confidential man and has been with me for years, and I don't know what to do without him. Still, I thought it bettor to send him than to trust an express company, for woodness knows how Jong it would take those ople to get anything through the customs. vecBoforethe man started I gave him the packet and told him what it contained, saying that ho was to be particular not to put it in anybody's hands but Miss ‘Templeton’s. I told him he was to declare in full to the custom house officers, and he was to take an officer with him to her house, where she would make ‘ formal declaration and, if necessary, pay any duty. I also told him to ask her if she roquired his services for anything, and that. if sho did not, he was to obtain a written receipt from her for the jewelry and return to France by the next steamer. “Don’t you see, he is a great loss to mo. He kept the keys of the wine cellar, of my wardrobe, of everything, and I don’t know what Chen tebe him. Lees suppose the stupid fellow got bragging on ti Demnar aboutwhai: helhad wih hie so yarn- g about his diamonds. Then some one ad- vised him uot to declare upon his arrival lest he should have to pay a heavy duty, which he wasn't prepared to do, and the fool took tho advice and tried to smuggle the jewelry through. Of course it ie equally likely that the very person who gave him that advice told customs officers and got him arrested. t is the truth so far as I know it. ‘Anyhow, I have put the matter into the hands of Judge Dittenhoocfer, my lawyer, and I don’t suppose there will be much trouble about getting the diamonds. The worst of it is Miss bchemt pig had to pe without her jewelry, and all my care and haste were lost.” Osborn ap to be terribly cut up about the affair and does not seem to know which to regret most—the temporary detention of the jewelry, Fay Templeton’s disappointment at nothaving it to wear, or the arrest of his valet and the loss or his right-hand man. his right-han CAPITAL AGAINST LABOR. A Federation of British Shippers to Fight Trades Unions. A meeting of Britieh ship owners, represent- ing an aggregate capital of upward of a hun- dred million pounds sterling, was held in Lon- don yesterday. A series of rosolutions was put and carried unanimously. These resolutions were in favor of the federation of the whole of the shipping trade of the British empire for the purpose of dealing with the labor ques- tions of all parts of the world and in particu- lar resisting the demands and actions of the trades unions and their members; to protect ship's crews against compulsion and intimida- tion of trade organizations; the indemnifica- tion of members who may make personal sac- rifices for the sake of the common good, and, generally, to supervise and promote legisiation affecting the shipping interests. The scheme includes a powerful central council, whose headquarters are fixed in Londen, and the formation of strong district committecs in the various shipping centers to deal promptly with the cases arising at the outports or abroad. Immediate steps will be taken for the purpose of perfecting the organization. At the close of the formal business a reaolu- tion was passed heartily approving the action of the Australian ship owners in refusing to accede to the demands of the labor unions as bein, bversive of the Cast oars on ship- board and plodging the federation to use every means in its power to help them in the strug- gle. Fresh important adhesions to the federa- tion are expected very shortly, says the cable- gram from London,. which 1 make it the most powerful union fhe shipping trado bas ever established, THE VERMONT ELECTION, The Republican Majority Much Smaller Than Usual. Vermont clectors ycstcrday voted for state officers, two Representatives to Congress and a full list of state senators and representatives, ‘The returns indicate not only that the republi- can vote is very light but that the ticket bas been cut. The decrease in the democratic vote ie not nearly as large, correspondingly, this year as that of the republicans, The prohibi- tion vote remains about the same so far. Fifty towns out of 243 in the state give Page, rep., 8,198; Brigham, dem., 4,582; Allen, pro., 240; scattering, 3. The same towns in 1888 gave Dillingham, rep., 12,554; Shurtleff, dem., 4,477; all others, 327. ‘The republiean majority over all in towns so far heard from is 3,373, againet 7,750 in 1888.

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pu | lic, im good faith and with confidence, as TUR BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, i May be truthfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world These avermonts are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the worn weekly statements printed in the paper jo euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the orn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tue Stam on the | 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas Uuree times the circa. lation of any other paper in Washing= ton! 2 The Star's cirenlation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other dally Papers published im the cliy added to- gether! 3. ihe Star basa larger and faller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas- ing popuiation, than any other news: Paper in tac world!!! 4. The Star has the largest reguiar and permanent home circulation of any Uwo-cent afternoon paper in the United States 111! In support of theso claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, @ttention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 3885-86-87-88-88, 1SS3. 1886. 1887. 1sss, Ise, 44x...20,486 23,388 23,470 26,356 27,541 Pes.. .22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 Max...23,349 23,594 26,000 27,490 34,706 APE...22,5723 24,927 25,375 27,166 29,852 May. 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29.6) 21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 SULY..21,406 23,186 24,870 26,363 (29,650 AUG.. 21,445 22,364 24.859 25,521 Oct...21,497 21,701 24,807 25,946 30,329 Nov...22,049 23,631 25,697 28.814 31.053 Déc...23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,454 27,082 30,090 Tncrease ....... 1,559 1,503 1,588 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more thas 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by xpress railway trains, etc., leaving as « net circulation an the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 92% PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered dafly by regular carriers at the homes of permancat sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales ‘over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. But of this latter number a very Jarge proportion is supplied reguiarly to per maanent residents of the city living in lodgings, | &c. (not householders), a0 that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Te Sran a distinctire and enviable position m modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which jit is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the par- chasing portion of the community, ure the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel, This is uo idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the fall satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising bueiness men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tae Sran’s advertising patronage. j Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is beld by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, weck by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentionscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBSK OF KEW ADVERTISEMANTS ¢RINTED Lt 1885-86-67 -88-8, 18S6. 18S7. 158%, 1889. 3,200 3,615 4,078 4,556 3.547 3,924 4,529 4,669 4,603 5,498 5,478 4,956 35,556 5,395 5,172 6,033 4,522 4,606 5,529 23Sl 3,915 4,453 2.170 3.308 4,608 4,517 4,906 5,853 5,313 5,412 6550 5,035 4,659 6,107 5,083 5,007 5,795 ‘Total £1,499 45,010 54,038 54,501 65,529 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 witk that occupied ip 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertion ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being « total gain over the pre vious yearof1444columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everydsy business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, cisction retarna, @tc., sach as occasionally swell the besiness of political organs, being included im its patrom age. In conelasion, it is only necessary to eay that, fm proportion to the extent and high charactot f its circulation, Ta Sran's advertising rates take rank with the lowest in the country, and to add, finally, every statement heres meade can be abundantly verified.
