The rooms were thronged all the afternoon and as so many peo- pie came together who knew each other the Teception was precisely as the hostess desired it—a nice, sociable occasion. It is safe to say that every army officer in town paid his re- spects during the afternoon. Mrs. Elkins wore an elegant gown of mauve bengaline thet had soft, deep frills of crepe thickly ruched on the shoulders and reaching down to the waist line back and front. The yoke was of silk dotted with erystal beads and’ a diamond rose pinned the high collar band.

There will be a meeting of the Daisy Chain tomorrow afternoon at Mrs. Morton's at 4 o'clock, when the erection of a pavilion for contagious diseases in connection with the Children’ l be discussed. The Daisy Chain was started here four years ago by Mrs. Henry Edwardes of the British legation and Mrs. Hobson, and was modeled after the Ministering Children’s League in England. The chain has now 140 members and las had a carcer of great usefulness, under the direction of Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, who isthe chairwoman of the kindergarten committee of the Lospital. From thé proceeds of the four sales of tancy work, &c., about £2,000 has been realized, Of this eam £500 was given toward furnishing the new wing of the hospital and_about the same amount in the presentation of 700 garments for the Ittle patients there. The chain has also provided regular kindergarten instruction for all the children in the hospital. Nearly 900 still remains, and with this asa nucleus for a building fund the Daisy Chain wili erect a small hospital, or a pavilion where contagious diseases among children may be treated, It is probable that the building will be located on the grounds of the Children’s Hospital and its usefulness will undeniably be the greater there. Messrs. Hornblower and Marshall have made the plans for the building, the cost of which will not be less than 22,000. It will be equipped with the very best sanitary appliances, in ven- tilation and the guarding against the spread of disease, will have a dict kitchen, the walla will be of soapstone and it will have a steam disin- fecting chest. The beginning will be modest, only tworooms to the ward with room forsix beds and anutse’s room. All the bed linen bas already been prom- ined and it is expected that the beds will be given and supported as memorials by those who Fave, lost children by contagious diseasce. The ladies who are interested say that when it is remembered that there is absolutely no place in this city where children sick with con- tagious diseases can be received the cessity for such a hospital is manifest. The quarantine imposed upon persons who have such diseases in their bomes and the eapense attendant upop the case, the destruction of all clothing and bedding as entailed by law, makes the subject a serious one in whichever way it is viewed. Mra. Hopkins’ pian toraise the money ix simple one. She will ask the young mem- bers of the chain each to endeavor to raise £8, but if they cannot get that much the smallest mount will be gratefully received; and it is argued that here comes the opportunity for the handreds of parents in this city who have had little ones snatched from them by diphtheria and kindred diseases to help the Daisy Chain build this house that other little sufferers may have the bes: possible treatment that modern science commands. Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Morton both hope that any children or any per- son having au interest in this great charity will tend the meeting tomorrow. Rausing » thou- sand dollars for such a project it is expected will interest every household in Washington. ‘Tue following is a partia! list of the members of the Daisy Chain: Margaret Adams, Bessie way, upon which both the dra Susan B.

The cases of Samuel Fielden and Michael Schwab, the Chicago anarchists convicted of complicity in the famous Haymarket riots and now confined in Joliet penitentiary under a life sentence,commuted by the governor,of Illinois from a death sentence. came up in the United States Supreme Court shortly after 12 o'clock today for argument. The court room was comfortably filled, but no unusual interest wastaken in the case. Gen. Benj. F. Butler. looking quite feeble, was in court ag one of the counsel for the imprisoned men andattracted some attention. ‘The twocuses embrace the same questions, but were argued separately, that of Fielden being first taken up. Mr. Salomon, who had pushed the cases for the men and been their council trom the beginning of the trials, opened the argument. ‘The ground on which the cases came before the court is that the time for the enforcement of the original sentence of death imposed by the trial court having expired without its having been put in force, the su- preme court of the state of Illinois, on Se} tember 14, 1887, pronounced a judginent and sentence of death against the men, who were not then present in court. Mr. Salomon maintained that the men not having been present when the state supreme court had pronounced sentence it wi prival to them of the aue process of i contrary to the provisions of the Constitution of the United Siates. een ES THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE DECISION Ex-Senator Edmunds Tells the Supreme Court They Erred in Construing the Law. Litigants whose suits were upset by the Supreme Court of the United States have ffe- quently given utterance to opinions which, if substantiated, would convince the world that the court was all wrong, but it was left for ex-Senator Edmunds to tell the court that it had erred in a most important matter. It was done yesterday. Mr. Edmunds was counsel for the state of Vermont: ex-Senator and ex- Attorney General Garland was counsel on the other side of the suit—attorney for John ‘il, a Whitehall, N. liquor dealer, whom Vermont had prosecuted for shipping jugs of liquor across Lake Champlain into Vermont on orders from citizens of Rutland, Vt. The sen- sation made its appearance when Mr. Edmunds said he felt compelled to notify the court that it had erroneously construed the Constitution in its decision in the original package cave. He insisted that the principle upon which that de- cision was based was dangerous to the d security of the people of the individual ‘tates. Ho was satisfied that when goods had reached their final destination they were as surely subject to the law of that state as though they had been manufactured therein. The ex- Senator apologized for criticising a decision of the court, but he insisted on the correctness of his views, and warned the justices to get into the path of constitutional rectitude as rapidly a8 possible SUBMARINE ARMAMENT. Provisions of a Bill Introduced Today by tenator McPherson. Senator McPherson, by request, today intro- duced a bill to increase the efficiency of the coast defenses, By its terms the Secretary of the Navy is authorized to contract with the Berdan Manufacturing Company of New York for one “Berdan ironclad destroyer,” with armament, as follows: A semi-submarine boat, to be not less than 260 feet long by 40 feet beam, 16 feet draught, with a corresponding displucement of abont 2,400 tons, to have a lowarmored deck of nickel steel for deflecting cannon shots, to be pro- vided with » hydraulic buffer that will protect the bows of the boat, aconning tower and a bridge for machine guns. The vessel is to have not less than 7,500 horse power, with twin screws, and a guaranteed speed of twenty knots an hour. The vessel is tobe armed with one submarine gun at the bow (located under the hydraulic buffer), of twenty-four-inch caliber, twenty-eight feet long, and to throw a shell containing 450 pounds of musket powder into an ironclad below her armor plate and to be exploded by a time fuse that will burn an; length of time desired. ‘The cost of the vessel, exclusive of allowance for extra speed, is not to exceed $1,100,000. The b ulates’ that the contract is to be made only on condition that the company arranges for tke construction of the vonsel with @ shipbuilder who is in all re- spects satisfactory to the Secretary of the Navy. Abonus is to be allowed for ali speed made over 20 knots an hour, with rebates for less speed. ‘The sum of $1,250,000 is appropriated for the complete construction of the vessel. ‘The bill was referred to the committee on coast defenses. = The Jews in Russia, opened on the 29th instant at 2 o'clock.

HOW THE Boys Gor WET. The lot holes left by the removal of the old buildings gathered some water during the re- cent rains, and in some places this has frozen over solidly. One hole at the northeast corner, however, is deeper than the others, and fully three feet of water has accumulated. A num- ber of small boys endeavored to skate on the thin sheet of ice that had formed over this yes- terday, and asa result there were several very wet youngsters, for the ice troke and let them throngh. No one was hurt, however. Supt. Steward is thankful for the snow, ithas covered the ground so that the coin hunters, who were considerably excited by a note in Tue Sram saying that some old pieces of moncy had been found on the square, have been foiled. The next morning after the ap- pearance of the paragraph there were a score or 40 of boys on hand eager to dig for wealth. CAPT. SCHLEY DENOUNCES IT. The Baltimore's Commander on the Valpa- Fatso Fiscal’s Keport. Capt. Schley of the cruiser Baltimore when shown yesterday the report of the procurator fiscal of Valparaiso as recently published sai “I am not at all surprised by this report. Such cohelusions were réndered necessary to sustain the Chilean contentions in the case.” Capt. Schley then went over the report and discussed it in detail. Regarding the rejection by the procurator of Langon and Johnson's testimony on the ground that their stories did not agree perfectly the captain said: “Those two men were our strongest witnesses, and testifying as they did directly to the shooting of Riggin by the soldiers the court has to find some plea for rejecting their evidence and hit on the fact that they appeared not to have own each other before the riot occurred. his is very natural. Langon was not a mem- ber of the Baltimore's crew at this time. He was a sailor on an American vessel wrecked in Valparaiso harbor some days before and en- listed on the Baltimore a week after the riot. As for the statement that the men dined to- ether in an eating house on theday of the riot, it might well happen that the two men could stay at the same without meeting each other. “There is no possible doubt that Riggin was killed by a rifle bullet fired by soldiers. John- son was stooping over supporting Riggin on his left arm and shoulder. ‘The soldiers fired at only six feet distant. ‘The bullet pierced the shirtand handkerchief covering the shoulder and then strack Riggin in the neck and inflict- ga wound, the doctors say, that caused in- stant death. The blood poured from the wound and covered Johnron’s shirt. This shirt was shown to thé Valparaiso court and yet the fis- al states that he rejects Johnson's testimony because there were no blood stains on his sleeve, as there must have been if his sto: were true. The procurator’s statement that no one testified who fired the shots is faise. Both Johnson and Langon testified that the eoldiers fired them.” . Regarding the dispate as to the weapon from which the bullet that killed Riggin was fired Capt. Schley said: “The sixth day after the rioting at Valparaiso a paper stated that one of the Baltimore's men fired at a policeman, missed him and killed Riggin. ‘This theory was at once seized upon by the Chileans, but when Kiggin’s body was examined it was found that the bullet had passed through over nine inches of the firmest tissues in the human body, passed through vertebra, shattering them, and then through the shoulder blade, and after all this left the body on the other side with such velocity that the flesh was hardly torn ut all. There is _ no _ pistol in existence . that could inflict such a wound as this, There is no possible doubt the ball came from a rifle. But it necessary for the Chileans to prove that it was a revolver wound in order to exonerate the police and they therefore called in two physicians as ex- perts. Only one of these men was really a physician, the other being merely a hospital steward, and one of whom had never examined Riggin’s body, testified that the wound was in- flicted by a pistol bullet. This gave the court an excuse to reject the entire testimony. jeut. McCrae and Dr. White of the Balti- more made careful tests by firing pistol and rifle balls through a shirt and neckerchief like Johnson's and a piece of meat, and found rifle penetrations through both cloth actly the same as those in Riggin’s case. Dr. White had just treated three or four hundred Tifle wounds and was an expert on the subject. Both McCrae and White testified most posi- tively before the court that the wounds were caused by a rifle bullet, giving their reason for the opinion. The seutences recommended by the court in Valparaisoare very curious. Thus rlos Gomez, the one-armed Chilean sailor, who confessed’ to having stabbed Turnbull, is recommended to be imprisoned for three years, while Davidson of my crew, who knocked him down witha stone in attempting to prevent his doing this, is recommended to ten or fifteen years’ imprisonment, The procurator's state- ment that there was no evidence to show that Tarnbull and Riggin died of their wounds is certainly remarkable. I suppose the court im- agines they died from slow consumption.” ‘Western Traffic Association Affairs.

OFFICER MURPHY FINED For Clabbing a Prisoner—Judge Miller's Re- marks on Officers Getting Drank. This morning in the Police Court Judge Mil- ler resumed the hearing in the case of Police- man Edward Murphy of the fourth precinct, who was charged with clubbing an old colored man named Thomas Henry. As heretofore published in Tux Sra, the old man lives in Springmann alley southwest and the assault was committed in his own house Christmas night. Thomas Henry, the old men,who has been in Jail as a witness, was cailed and his testimony was similar to that given by the other witnesses. He testified he was lying across the bed asleep when the officer came in and struck him on the head with his club, Witness raised up in bed and the officer said: “You —-—, lay The ofticer was recalled and he testified that he had made fifteen or twe sts in the house, but he had never arrested old man nr, Witnosees told of the former good conduct of the officer and counsel said be bad not drunk anything since that time. Judge Miler, in disposing of the case, said that a private individual getting drunk and striking some one is one thing and the same act performed by an officer is an entirely dif- ferent thing. The manual says that the officer shall not drink, and his getting drunk is not a case of ordinary drunkenness, but he gets him- self in that condition, armed as he is with the weapons furnished him, and he responsible for what he does after voluntari patting himself in that condition, Heads and limbs of citizens are not to be offered as sacri- fices to the policeman's baton. The officer rushed into the house, inspired by zeal and something else, and his condition was not sch that he could tell whether there was any re: ance or not. He was not capable of telling what was going on, It is not to be presumed that a drunken officer can settle any such ques- tions. When a policeman is under the influence of liquor he is notan officer for the purposes of arrests and he has no right to attempt to per- form the duties of his office. When in that condition he should surrender his equipments or they should be taken from him. Public policy demands that a man must know bis duty. Referring to the testimony of the witnesses for the prosecution the judge said he did not think that the old marr and the son had told exactly what happened. He thought that the old man had gotten up when the officer struck him. In conclusion the court repeated that the officer was liable for his act and imposed a fine of $25, which was paid. Saati Wanted to Settle the Chile Affair. On Tuesday evening acitizen of the southenst- ern section of the city, while on aspree, thought to putanend to the Chilean unpleasantness by making preparations to give that nation a good drubbing. Purchasing a comfortable sail boat he anchored it in the stream near the navy yard, and giving it out that he wanted 100 ab odied young colored men who could stand the climate and were not afraid to sail with him and knock h— out of the Chileans, he quietly awaited response. His family learning ef his actions called on the police, who found him on the boat with a supply of fire water, but no fire wood, and bringing him ashore sext him to the Asylum Hospital for treatment. exer Aertecene Stole a Gold Watch. A couple of nights ago a colored boy named Wim. Washington Holmes had business of some sort in the second precinct station and the po- lice noticed that he was wearing a gold watch and chain. The circumstance was a suspicious one and the officers questioned him as to where he got it. He first said he found it, but when questioned and accused of stealing it he ad- mitted that he took it froma young man. Mr. Wm. Kelly proved to be the owner of the time- pice and this morning he appeared in the ‘olice Court as a witness against the colored boy. The charge against Holmes was larceny from the person, and Judge Miller held him for the action of the grand jury. In default of $1,000 bail he was committed to jail. ——. The Wife Got the Best of Him. Almost every day Judge Miller has to deal with wife beaters, and many such persons are sent to jail, but ina case of alleged wife beat- ing called to the court's attention today the wife proved equal to the occasion and taught her husband a lesson that he will probably not forget in the near future, Richard Maxwell was the husband and be was in the dock. His plea was not guilty, and, seeing the condition of the man's face, the court remarked that it looked like @ case of the shoe being on the other foot. The husband's face was cut in more thanone place and his counsel remarked that there was a cut on the back of bis head. Mary Maxwell, who proved his better half on this occasion, said that her hasband returned home at 3 a.m. and she told him that if be did not return earlier he could not come in. ‘Then she eaid he assaulted her and she struck him with a glass. Judge Miller said he thought the husband had got the worst of the trouble and dismissed him, as he had been sufficiently punished. For the Newsboys’ Aid Society.

Sad story though it is, it is one, this story of “How the Other Half Live,” that interests the most of us. No one buying a ticket to the lecture will regret going to it and the society to be helped is one of the worthiest in the city. This thing of lifting up the children into better conditions is destined tobzing about a new era in daily living, a change we are all interested in we should regard it # privi- lege to help on the good work.

Jbrald this morning printed with Chilean Minister Montt, in which he exprosmed the views of his govern- ment in the controversy now pending between Chile and the United States, which threatens to involve the United States m a war. ‘The Her- aid on last Tuesday sent a cable dispatch to President Jorge Montt of Chile asking him if he would give it an official statement as to Chile's position in the present difficulty be- tween that country and the United States and &* to Chile's intentions in regard to our de- mand fog an apology, reparation and indem- nity for the Baltimore affair. A reply was received from President Montt Yesterday, as foliows: “Minister Montt can expross to you fally the views of my government. With much respect, *(Signed) Jonor Moxrr.” As soon as this diepatch arrived the Herald's Correspondent in Washington was instructed to convey the message to Minister Montt. The minister, when shown the dispatch, hesi- tated fora time, but finally began by saying: | “Chile has oniy the warmest feoang toward the United States. The American people do not understand Chile. Why should spe not bave Good feelings!" The corre ondent hazarded the Baltimore incident as a reason to the contrary. In reply Minister Montt said: “I may to you thet Chile has Gone aud as doit g ail she possibl, can to investigate this trouble and to obtaim the facts whereupon to pu the guilty.

He said that it might take six weeks or two months, but said that th government would not delay it. “When,” continued the min- ister, “the superior court has reviewed the lecision the facts brought out will form the ason which our minster of foreign affairs will make reply to the government of the United States.” : Minister Montt maid he did not see how Possible fault could be found with Chile. The correspondent said that the one fault that the American people found was deat Chile has never expressed the slightest regret for the killing of the American sailors, end asked if that was trae. ‘The Llack exes of the minister lighted up With scorn. He was on the point of making an impetuous declaration of denial, when be checked himself and replied in his most diplo- Matic tone: “It is not for me to make pubic the official corres nce of this cor You can see that at the State Department. Minister Montt was then asked if it was tree that the president of Chile and the leading statesmen of that country were disposed to be friendly toward the United States, but were afraid todeal out justice through fear of the rabble. “both! I do not believe it,” exclaimed the minister. “When the facts are properly ascer- tained our officers of state will do strict and absolute justice in accordance therewith. It does not make any difference what the state of feeling in the country may be. ‘The minister then went on to emphatically impress upon the correspondent that there gras no desire in Chile for war with the United States, and that the people had not thesiightest idea that the United states was thinking of such a thing. “Why,” said he, “I have this day received the Chilean newspapers of December 7.

RUSH The force at work at Mare Island navy yard is larger than it has been for years. Work no longer ceases at sundown, but is continued by the aid of electric lights until 100'clock at night.while the distinction between Sunday and week days bas been lost sight of for weeks. The most important work in progress is that on the Baltimore. She is lying in the stream, with coal barges on each side,from which ber bunk- ers are being rapidly filled. This has been going on for three Cays now, and will soon be finished. When she has taken on ber fall capacity of 1,100 tons she will be able to steam 7,000 miles without replenishing. In an interview yesterday morning Admiral Irwin said: “fli the Baltimore's repairs are now finished except those to her engines. These are receiving a thorough overhauling and will not be completed for ten days or more. She cannot go to sea in less than two weeks, Many of her officers have been granted short leaves of absence, but they can be quickly summoned if necessary.

The monitor Comanche will take her place in dry dock as soon as the Charleston leaves and have her bottom thotoughly scraped. In every other respect the Comanche is in first-class condition. “I do not believe, however, she will be sent to sea, but be retained for harbor defense. No steps have been taken, as was reported, to re- place her two fiftecn-inch smooth bores by Filles of smaller caliber. The Mobican, @ wooden vessel, carrying eight smooth bores and two rifles, has been in perfect order for six weeks and could to sea any day. She bas received no orders to lcave #o far. Work is also being done on the ship Ranger and the Adams, but they can be of tittle service. The Umaba and Swatara are laid up and probably will not go to sea again. The ble-turreted monitor Monadnock is laying alongside the dock and some work is being done on her, but her engines are not in and none of her armor is ready. She is practically out of the ques- tion asa fighting machine for many months yet” —_+ee —___ “Our Army Would Be Nothing in Chile” Robert Burnett, a prominent member of the Massachusetts democratic state committee, who mt two years in Chile, said yesterday: ‘Twenty thousand soldiers landing on the Chilean coast would amount to comparatively nothing. It would be bute short time before they were either killed or driven away. It would take at least 50,000 soldiers to produce any effect whatever on Chile. The navy is not large enough to carry that number of soldiers there and they would have to be ‘The cost would be enormous. War might go and Lombard Valparaiso, but that is all they could do.
