That wealthy and well-to-do men are fast recognizing the attractions of Georgetown as a place of residence is evidenced by the large number of elegant houses that have been erected here within the last few years. There is no more beautiful place for a residence in the District of Columbia than on the heights of Georgetown, from which place Washington, with all her world-renowned public bui can be seen ata glance. As an educati center she outranks many of the larger citie Georgetown College, the Academy of the itation and the complete system of public schools furnish means by which both rich and poor may be intellectually fitted to compete with the residents of any city for those thin well strive for. Asa place of interest. she holds her own, too, for it was here that “Jeffer- soniansimplicity” was first demonstrated in the unpretentious residence on the street which now bears his name. Here,too,in thehouse now occupied by Col. Jno. A. Joyce, did Gen. Graut, the hero of the north,spend his happiest , while from under the low roof of ‘Pros: pect’ cottage Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth sends forth her romantic stories, which are so widely read. Within her limits also is Oak Hill cemetery, acknowledged by all to be one of the most beautiful in the United States, while a half hour's walk will bring one to ‘Arlington, the home of the nation’s dead. Surrounded by all these memories and exist- ing facts which help so much to make a place desirable and the ready transportation that will be afforded by the ineoming railroad, the easy communication with the mines of Cum- berland that the Chesapeake and Ohio canal will give and its position at the head of a navi- gable river, there is no reason why Georgetown should not soon take her place in the grand onward march and rival if not excel her sister cities in prosperity and progress. ABUNAWAY. At To'clock last night a two-horse team be- :|longing to Mr. Mutesbangh of Alexandria county, Va., ran away from the corner of 224 and O, dashing up M street ata full gallop, and for a tine it looked as if serious damage would be done, but at the corner of 32d and M streets they were caught and turned over to the owner. POLICY CASES. In the Police Court yesterday, before Judge Miller, Richard Canton, colored, and John Hil- ton, white, were convicted of policy writing without the necessity of the jury leaving the ket space and successfully brought them to the station without assistance. NOTES. Mr. H. B. King will shortly begin the erec- “35 | tion of @ handsome three-story and basement brick dwelling on the grounds opposite the convent, formerly occupied by the Prospect ‘Tennis Club. Though the Prospect Tennis Club has been deprived of its spacious grounds on 35th street by the march of improvements its members are not disheartened. and before another month they hope to be fully reorganized and in better trim than ever. Mr. Jobn H. Schultz has just returned from Baltimore, where a successful operation was performed on his eyes by Dr. Chism, and 18 now much improved in both health and us| sight.

The Business Men's Lunch Club, of which an account has been given in Tue Star, was formally started on its career last night. It did not seem to be avery hungry crowd which gathered in parlor No. 10 of Willard’s Hotel. Tos casual observer they bore every resem- lance toanumber of Washington's best-known and most enterprising business men. They were, however, in deadly carnest over the plan of establishing a lunch club in the newbuilding at 9th and F streets and the preliminaries of such a formation were put through with a ce- lerity which would have been astonishing to any one except a business man. The parlor was well filled when Mr. F. B. Noyes called the meeting to order and an- nounced the objects of the call. He said that 104 gentlemen had enrolled themselves as mem- bers of the proposed club and that the taking of names had then been stopped, as it had been thought the club itself should take some means tocontrol its future membership and make arrangements for quarters. On motion of Dr. John A. Swope, Mr. J. 8. Swormstedt was le temporary ‘chai and Mr. James F. Hood secretary. The list of members, which has already been printed in ‘Tue Star, was then read and Mr. Samuel Ross moved that a committee of three be appointed by the chair to nominate a governing commit- tee of nine, which shouid have full power to act for the ‘club untila permanent organiza- tion should be effected. The resolution was adopted and the chair appointed Samuel Ross, Seymour W. Tullock and C. B. Rheem. This committee retired for a short time and then reported the following gentlemen as the temporary governing commitiee: F. B. Noyes, F. 8. Presbrey, John Joy Edson, J. Reed Littell, Addis B. Browne, Seaton Perry, Edward J. Stellwagen, Charles 8. Bradley and W. B. Hibbs. The election of these gentlemen was made unanimous. A rather informal discus- sion followed as to the ends which the new club was to meet. Dr. Sw H. Warner, F. 8. Presbrey, H. A. Hall,,F. B. Noyes, J. J. Edson, F. W. Pratt and’ others expressed the common feel- ing which seemed to bo shared by all alike that the new venture would prove a gastronomic, social and commercial success. It was urged that members interest themselves in getung desirable new members. It in thought the membership of the new club will be limited to 250, and, judging from the meeting last night, the limit will be reached in @ very short time. ghamenaer: ria Death of St. Jullien Fillette. Mr. 8t. Jullien Fillotte, who died this morn- ing, was well known in this community and had a wide circle of friends, especially among mem- bers of the District bar.

Wiese. THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1891. THE DISTRICT VETERANS. A question of considerable interest to many hundreds of District of Columbia volunteers (ninety days’ men) of 1861, affecting their right to pensions under the act of June 27, 1890, was submitted to Assistant Secretary Bussey of the Interior Department this morning. Many of the District volunteers were sworn in for three months’ service, but mustered out from three to eight days before the expiration of that period, if counted from the date recorded at the War Department as the date of their ac- ceptance into the service of the United States, while in fact they were then already under arms and actually in the service, having been organized as militia bodies by Gen.

ACincinnati special to the Baltimore Sun | the says of the meeting of the Irish-Americans in that city yesterday: “Probably the most inter- esting meeting in the history of the Irish Na- tional League in America was held in the Bur- net House in this city today. [ts purpose was to decide the question whether the league should, by its moral and financial aid, support Charles Stewart Parnell as leader of the Irish Parliamentary party. With but an hour or so of intermission the session extended from 11 o'clock in the morning until nearly midnight. The assembly was composed of the national council of the league anda number of promi- nent {rish-Americans of the country, who were invited by President Fitzgerald of the organs- zation. There were present President John Fitzgerald of Lincoln, Neb.; First Vice Presi- dent Patrick Martin’ of Baltimore; Secretary John P. Sutton, Lincoln, Neb.; Daniel Corkery, jieago; O'Brien Atkinson, Port Huron, Mich Maj. Wm. J. Gleason, controller of the city of id, Ohio: Capt. P. Smith, Cleveland; lea, Nashville, Tenn.; Wm. Lyman, = Ly! M. Z Martin, Nashville, a ichael Burns, Indianapolis: Judge Fitzgeral Kansas, and M: V-Gamon, Omaha, Neb.” PRESIDENT FITZGRRALD'S STATEMENT. President Fitzgerald announced that the meeting had been held at the request of Mr. Jas. J. O'Kelly, one of the envoys sent by Mr. Parnell to this country for funds. Mr. Fitzgerald said t he had refused to call a convention of the Irish National League of America to indore Mr. Parnell’s leadership, believing that the national council of the league should act on that matter. Mr. Fitzgerald continued: “It is to obtain {GRE Tlewsand determination in this matter that have called you to assemble here. I advise the fullest and most deliberate discussion of this cubject and the coolest and calmest of judgment to guide you in reaching conclusions. ‘As men who have ever been loyal to the cause of the motherland, as American citizens who love freedom and'as fathers who have ever striven to leave the proud heritage of an ex- alted manhood to your children, I counsel you to weigh well all arguments in this matter. Look not to leaders or men, but to the cause of Ireland. * ‘MR. O'KELLY'S ADDRESS. It having been announced that Mr. O'Kelly was in the hotel corridor and wished to give the council his version of the Irish conflict Unanimous consent was given. After review- ing the prelimimary work of those who were selected by both sides of the Irish party to treat with Mr. Gladstone toward securing a full and complete measure of home rule for ireland in the event of a liberal victory at the next general election in Great Britain, and their failure to have a bill agreed upon where the appointment of the constabulary and the judges, as urged by Mr. Parnell, should be vested’ in an Irish parliament, Mr. O'Kelly said the Irish parsiamentary’ party should logically have remained as it wes. If any division was thought of it should have been only after an appeal to the constit- uencies of the land—a step Parnell and bis who ‘was mustered into the service of the United States on the 2d day of January, 1861, as in- spector general of the District of Columbia, and in which article Gen. Stone pays the fol- lowing tribute to the valuable services of the District of Columbia volunteers: GEN. STONE'S TRIBUTE. “I think that the country has never properly appreciated the services of those District of Columbia volunteers. It certainly has not ap- | j preciated the difficulties surmounted in their organization. ‘Those volunteers were citizens of the federal district, and therefore had not at the time, nor have they ever since had, the powerful stimuiant of a state feeling, nor the powerful support of a state government, a state's pride, a state press to set forth and make much of their services. They did their dut quietly and did it well and faithfully. Althoug! not mustered into the service and placed on yy until after the fatal day when the flag was red upon for tho first time at Sumter, yet they rendered great service before that time in giving confidence to those citi- zens of the District who were faithful to the overnment, in giving confidence to the mem- ers of the national legislature and in giving confidence also to the President in the knowl- edge that there was, at least, a small force at his disposition ready to respond at any moment to his call. It should also be remembered of them that the first troops mustered into the service were sixteen companies of these volun- teers; and that during the dark days when Washington was cut off from communication with the north, when railway bridges were burned and tracks torn up, when the Potomac was blockaded, these troops were the only re- liance of the government for guarding the pub- lic departments, for preserving order and for holding the bridges and other outposts.” “I also respectfully submit the following fur- ther reasons: WHAT THE RECORDS sow. “That the entry upon the records of the War Department giving the date of the formal acceptance and muster-in of the battalion of which Mr. Daniel Genau was a member as April 17, 1861, is based upon a clerical error, evidenced by the fact that the District militia were sworn in in rapid succession, beginning with the 10th day of April, 1861, on which day the Washington Light’ Infantry were the first body of District volunteers thus for- mally accepted into the service of the govern- ment. The eighth batialion, headed by Maj. Ballbach, a duly commissioned major in the service of the United States, were also marched up to the War Department on the same day for the purpose of being sworn in, but some of the members being absent and the companies therefore lacking the requisite numbers, their formal acceptance was deferred until the next day, April 11. But in the meantime these men were under consignment at their armory at the beck and call of the United States govern- ment and had, prior therto, as shown by the article referred to, rendered valuable services to the government without reward or com- pensation. THE WHOLE TERM OF SERVICE. “Incidentally it may be stated, as showing that the five days claimed to have been lacking in the completion of their ninety days’ service were really spent in the service of the govern- ment, that for some time after their formal ac- palled tg on the Lith of apa they were com- led to depend upon their own homes for food and other necessaries of life until the gov- ernment could properly provide for them. That they are entitled to full credit for having completed their ninety days’ term of service within the meaning of the act of June 27, 1890, because they were accepted into the wervice for a period of not less than ninety days and such full service is evidenced by the date of their discharge and the fact of their muster- out at the end of that period.” OVER NINE THOUSAND MILES, The Detailed Program of the President's California Trip. ‘The official itinerary of the tour of the Presi- at 12:10 am.

As it was, no such action was considered by the McCarthy- ites whom Mr. O'Kelly designated seceders. ‘They had abandoned the old party and its prin- ciples ‘and had organized a new party and adopted a new policy. Under this condition of affairs the Paruellites were, constitutionally, the Irish parliamentary, though in the minority, because they alone preserved the principles upon which the league had so long stood of an jependent Irish party. free of auy affiliation any and every English party, so far as its policy was concerned. The McUarthyites, on the contrary, disregarded that platform, which had secured for Ireland, under Parnell’s ieader- ship, all the concessions ahe bad gained since Mr. O'Kelly claimed that the fight on Parnell goes back of the divorce court proceedings. The liberals, he said, could not forgive him for blocking their way in 1886 because they refused to outline a definite home rule measure. Mr. O'Kelly referred then tothe bishops. He said: “Another fruitful source of trouble in the ranks of the irish parjy is the opposition of the Irish bishops. ‘The true cause of their dislike of Mr. Parnell is not of recent origin. It was begot- ten by his withholding his support from their Irish university scheme. The bishops want to secure one million pounds. sterling from the ‘nment to found a university in Ireland shall be under their control and guid- He declared that he was not opposed <o the Catholic church.

If Mr. Parnell be elected alone, of all his party, in the next election he will eventually be again the leader of the Irish cause. If our party does not win in their next contest I have dune with politics in Ireland. I will step aside that some one else may come in who may be able to re- unite the Irish le.

I tell you the Irish people will not allow us to settio it. ‘There is buly one where it can be settled and that is otk” ‘MR. ATKINSON'S SPEECH. Mr. O'Brien Atkinson followed in an ad- dress urging the council to indorse Mr. Par- nell. He said it was only four weeks ago that he returned from a trip through Ireland and while there he made as close and careful a study as be could of the condition of politics and he found that the majority of the young men were with Mr. |. Notwithstanding this Mr. Parnell was defeated. This he as cribed to the influence of the clergy. APPEALS AND PuOTESTS.

From the New York Tribune, Senator Morrill of Vermont arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Wednesday and Zri- bune reporter found him there yesterday. Concerning the resignation of his colleague, Senator Edmunds, Mr. Morrill said: “Ihave seen Mr. Edmunds several timer since his resignation and am quite sure that be does not leave the Senate for political reasons. He has contemplated the step for two years on account of his own bealth and that of his family. He suffers conaderably from bronchitis, and his only daughter is in an exceedingly delicate condition. Forbersske more than for any other reason, I think, he bas resigned. Hi. wants her tospend the winters in a warme: climate and desires to be with her. He has leased his house in Washington and has bough< abome at Aiken, S.C., where the family will spend the winter in the future.” “Will hegive up Lis law practice?” he was asked. " I think he will continue to handle Bu- — Court cases in which there are large Jec Wh » is likely to succeed him?” might mention several probable candi- dates. As his resignation does not take effect till November 1, it is difficult to say at thi- time who is the leading candidate. I have n« hesitation in saying that no one could fil! Mr. Edmunds’ place. His position was unique. But there are many able men who would be an honor to the state in the Senate. I be- lieve Vermont has more living ex-gov- ernors than any other state in the Union. Ex-dovernor Stewart is a probable candidate. So is ex-Governor Smith of St. Albans, who has a large following. Ex-Gov- ernor Proctor, now Secretary of War, is said to be a candidate, but Iam not sure he would give up his secretaryehip to enter the Senate. It ix certain that we could hardly spare him from the War Department. He has brought about more reforms than had been made in the previous twenty years. Judge Powers, now Congress- man-ilect, is mentioned as a candidate. An- other is Gen. Veazey, commander in-chiof of the Grand Army of’ the Kepublic—a strong man in the state. Governor Page himself is said to havea senatorial leaning.” Vhat do you think of the Italian trouble?” “Baron Fava was too hasty. He did not clearly understand the action of the federal government. I think the trouble will soon yw over.” cntbah de you think of the lynching ot Bow jeans?” “It was a bratal murder, but there was great provocation.”* | tH j i e ic) I f i t f ;
