The rain last evening hed but little effect | upon the success of the opening of the Knights | of Pythias’ fair. The hall on 9th street above K street was beautifully decorated and crowded i with visitors all the evening through. There | was music, too, and any number of ways of | emptying a pocket book, but it was in a first- rate cause and the money was taken by band- some matrons and pretty maids. The following are the officers of the commit- | tec having im charge the arrangements of the ! fair: Sir Knight Richard Goodbeart is chair- | man, Sir Knight William Brackbagun, vice | president, and Sir Knight Jacob Smith, secre- | tary of the fair committee. THE FORMAL OPERING. The fair last night was opened with a speech by Past Supreme Representative F. G. Maxwell of Baltimore, who was escorted from the Balti- more and Potomac depot to the hall by a de- chment of knights from Washingtou Lodge, No. 1, and Columbia Lodge, No. 3, commanded tively by yt. Coggins and Capt. J. E. Smith. Mr. Maxwell was introduced by Chair- men Goodheart to the large audience from the gallery of the hall. He was given an enthusi- astic Feception, and in the course of his re- mari : Occasions and positions sometimes change circumstances, but principles live under adversity and prosperity—are eternal. So thought and acted, under an all-wise Provi- dence, the Rathbone, when nearly thirty years ago be planted the germ of Pythianism inthis elty. fis companions on February 19, 1864, at Temperance Hall and organized Washington Lodge, No. 1, Knights of Pything, having for ct friendship, ' charity and He went on to give an account of the y of Pythianism and said that it was to the efforts of the ladies that the brother knights of Washington would be indebted for the success of this fair: therefore, to mothers, wives, sis- ters, sweethearts and lady friends ‘their devo- tion should be rendered. |The speaker was fre- quently applauded during bis address. ARTICLES TO BE VOTED FOR. In a show case were exposed all the articles that are to be voted for. Among them are two men’s Elgin and Waltham hunting-case gold watches, two women's watches of the same make, five open-face and four hunting-case silver watebes, twenty-four solid gold rings, a combination diamond ring. stud and scarf pin, two pairs of opera glasses, two Knights of Pythias solid gold chains, t chancellor's jewel with diamond center, rifleman’s charm, pair of diamond earrings, silver spoons and forks. The fair will be open every day and evening during the week. ‘THE BOOTHS AND LADY ATTENDANTS. ‘The booths and their lady attendants are as follows: Franklin Lodge, No. 2—Mrs. Dunn in charge.

To the nameselready mentioned are added Signor Chimini, minister of agricul- ture, and Signor Villari, minister of instrac- tion. King Humbert has offered Signor Crispi a title of nobility. Signor Branca, minister of public works, in a conversation with a deputy Festerday sid that the: new ministerial pro- gram would deal chiefly with economics in the public service, including the war and marine departments. The [get of the cabinet, ho necessary for fre Tuy couid not do without. , ‘THE DISABILITIES OF ENGLISH CATHOLICS. In the British house of commons yesterday Mr. R.K. Canston, Gladstonian member for West Southwark, asked whether Catholics would | be eligible to oceapy the position of lord chan- colean ok iguates viceroy of Ireland. Sir Richard Everard Webster, the attorney general, declined to answer on the ground that eminent lawyers differed on the question, whieh would become practical if any government appointed ‘& Catholic to either of these positions. TRADR WITH BRAZIL. Sir James Fergusson, political secretary of the ‘oreign office, replying toa question as to whether Great Britain could share in the com- mercial advantages with Brazil equally with the United States, said that Great tein bad no treaty with Brazil, and, therefore, could not demand the same trading rights. KING LEOPOLD BECRIVES WORKINGMEN. King Leopold of Belgigm received a delega- tion from the Workingmen’s Council of In- dustry yesterday. Ina speech he said that he had decided to pledge his support of the de- mand for universal suffrage. ‘He had the cause of the working classes greatly at heart, said, but not being a dictator he must leave the suffrage question to the nation to decide. “Workingmen are wrong,” he udded, “in con- sidering themselves a separate cause. We are all Belgians, in different grades, and all work- men.” The delegates replied that the work- men had been made rate cl being refused the right of voting.. They trusted that the king would assist in conciliating the classes in order to prevent unfortunate occurrences. HOMES IX TURKEY FOR FREEDMEN. ‘The sultan has approved the project of the British embassy for providing homes for froed- men and will assist in the abolition of the ‘Turkish slave trade. Despite its formal aboli- tion the slave trafic prevails everywhere in the Ottoman empire, most of the manumitted negroes becoming re-enslaved. It is proposed to establish homes at Constantinople, Smyrna, Bengahaze, Tripoli, Jedda and Hodeidah, con- trolled and supported by the state, where freed slaves can be hired for service and their children can be educated. ‘The project also provides that the families of freed slaves shall e settled on state lands.

IX BRADLAUGH'S DISTRICT. The conservatives have nominated Mr. Ger- maine to contest the seat in the borough left vacant by the death of Mr. Chas. Bradlaugh. The Gladstone liberals have nominated Mr. Mansfield. ‘The polling takes place on Thurs- day next. REVOLT IN ST. THOMAS. ‘The plantation negroes on the Portuguese island of St.Thomas in the Gulf of Guinea have again revolted. The governor has sent an urgent telegram to Lisbon asking for reinforce- ments. er REFORM IN HINDOO MARRIAGE. Most disquieting reports have been received from India of Hindoo opposition to proposed changes in the laws regulating the age of mar- riage for females. The Rajah Mukhari of Ben- gal has come out in open opposition to the gov- ‘ernment measure raising the age of convent and is sustained by the land owners of the province. ‘There is widespread animosity ‘among the Hindoos to what they regard as an smanlt on their religion, end while ‘nothing is heard of insurreetion bold and bitter protests are uttered against British interference. ‘THE TRIP OF TRE CZARWITCH. ‘The czarwitch has arrived at Madras, where he was received in state by the governor gen- eral. The Russian prince ordered coins to be scattered liberally among the immense throng of natives who crowded to see him. In the rush to get the money several persons were injured. 6c! THE DEFENSES OF ROUMANIA. ‘Adispatch from Bucharest says that the Roumanian authorities are pushing forward rapidly the defenses of the capital. Of the eighteen detached forts which are to be found around Bucharest ten will be ready and armed with their Krupp guns before the summer, and the remaining eight are to be completed early in 1892. The entire Roumanian army of 300,000 men could be concentrated within the forts. King Charlesis giving personal attention to the work. A Vienne dispatch quotes Gen. Mano, chief of the Roumanian cabinet, as expressin, an opinion that war could not long be delay. in Europe and that small states like Roumania must not be found unprepared. Gen. Mano was entertained at dinner by the Austrian Emperor. ‘THE KAISER'S ECCENTRICITIES. Berlin advices say that the kaiser's eccentric ities are attracting more and more attention every day. In some respects he seems to be imitating the mad king, Louis of Bavaria, by taking unexpected trips here and and appearing where he is Httle looked tor Toe uliarities are much more prominent now when he first ascended the throne.

Our policy in respect thereto is to- day what it has been for the past thirteen years, and is directed by 4 firm detertnination to fos- ter and develop the varied resources of the Do- minion by every means in our power consist- ent with Canada’s position as an ifttegral por- tion of the British empire. To that end we have labored in the past, and we propose to continue in the work to which we have applied ourselves of building upon: this continent une der the fag of Englund a great and powerful nation.” ‘THE EVILS OF RECIPROCITY. Sir John then refers to the growth and pros perity of Canada under the natir-l policy. Dealing with the policy of the opposition, says: “Disappointed by the failure of all their predictions, and convinced that nothing is to gained by further opposition on the old lines, the reform party hay taken a new de- parture and has announced its policy to be un- restricted reciprocity, that is (as defined by its author, Mt. Wiman, in the North American Re. view a few days ago) free trade with the United States and a common tariff with the United ist the rest of the world. The adop- tion of this policy would involve, among ether grave evils, discrimination against the mother country, * * * © ANNEXATION A RESULT. + “It would, in my opinion, inevitably result in annexation of this Dominion to the United States. ‘The advocates of unrestricted reci- procityon this side of the line deny that it would have such an effect, though its friends in the United States urge’ as the chief reason for its adoption that unrestricted reciprocity would be the first step in the direction of politi- cal union.” APPEAL TO THE VOTERS. Sir John continues: “I have pointed out to youafew of the material objections to this scheme of unrestricted reciprocity to which Mr. Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright have committed the liberal party, but they are not the only objections nor, in my opinion, are they the most vital." For a century and a ‘half this n 8 grown and flourished under'the pro- tecting egis of the British crown. The gallant tuce who firat bore to our shores the blessings of civilization passed, by an easy transition, from French to English rule, and now form orié of the most law-abiding ‘portions of the community. “These pioneers were speedily recruited by the advent of a loyal band of British subjects, who gave up everything that men most prize and were content to begin life anew in the wilderness, rather than forego allegiance to their sovereign. To the descendants of these men and of the multitude of Englishmen, Irish- men and Scotchmen who emigrated to Canada that they might build up new houses without ceasing to be British subjects—to you Can- adians~I appeal and I ask you what ‘you have to gain by surrendering that which.,your fathers held most dear? * * * The great question which you will shortly be called tipon to determine resolves itself into this: “Shall we endanger our possession of the great- heritage bequeathed to'us by our fathers aud submit ourselves to direct taxation for the privilege of having our tariff fixed at Washington, with the prospect of ultimately becoming a portion of the American Union?’ HE WILL OPPOSE THE VEILED TREASON. “Icommend these issues to your determina- tion and to the judgment of the whole people of Canada with an unclouded confidence that you will proclaim to the world your resolve to show yourselves not unworthy’ of the proud distinction you enjoy of being numbered among the most dutiful and loyal subjects of our be- loved queen. As for myself, my course is clear. A British subject I was born, a British subject Iwill die. With my utmost’ strength, with my latest breath will | oppose the veiled treason which attempts, by sordid means and- merce- nary proffers, to lure our people from their allegiance. During my long public service of nearly half a century I have been true to my couritry and its best interests and I appeal with equal confidence to the men who haye en- trasted me in the past and to the young hope of the country, with whom rest ite destinies for the future, to give me their united and strenu- ous aid in this, my last effort, for the unity of the empire and the preservation of our com- mercial and political freedom.” PREMIER MERCIER RIDICULES THE EPITHET. Premier Mercier of Quebec arrived at Mon- treal yosterday to take charge of the provincial organization for the Dominion elections. He promises to carry the province for unrestricted reciprocity. Replying to Sir John Macdon- ald’s address to the electors of Canada he says itis ridiculous to claim that reciprocity is veiléd treason and means annexation. Sir John’s policy, he says, is one of statu quo, which means poverty for Canada. Imperial federation, Sir John’s pet dream, is treason.

A New York special to the “Baltimore Ameri- can says: There is not, perhaps, in New Yorkany man more intimately acquainted with the rec- ord and actions of Gen. Nelson A. Miles of the army than Maj. Thompson P. McElrath. The attention of the major was called to an Asso- ciated Press dispatch dated Chicago, February 7, in which Gen. Miles gives flat denial to the charge contained in the recently issued book of Mre. Jefferson Davis as to the maltreatment, degradation and humiliation of her husband when « prisoner at Fortress Monroe. Maj. Mc- Elrath was post quartermaster of the. fortress atthe time of the imprisonment of Mr. Davis, and becam+ quite indignant when his atten- tion was called to the charges against Gen. Miles, In his position as quartermaster he furnished quarters for the pi He feelingly de- nies that the casemate in which the prisoner wy th and clean. fe remarked that if orders had been sent to hang Mr. Davis they would have been and cheerfully complied with, for at that Gime the prejudice against the chief bellion was int letter and without undue severity. Mr. Davis. that the assertions of Mrs. Davis arp engei by the bitter feeling toward the north which is suggested by the of the life of her hus- band. Major McElrath was for yeare after the war in regular social correspondence with Gen. Miles, and, it is hardly necessary to state, be- incapable lieves that officer of undue severity toward prisoners.
