Prof. Mendenhall opened his discourge by citing an interesting ease of judicial conviction on acharge of murder on circumstantial evi- dence, the conclusions of which were afterward proven to be wholly false through a confession by the real murderer. The reasoning of the prosecuting witnesses, he said, the charge of the judge and the findingsof the jury bad been mply justified by the facts in’ the case—an actual one of recent happening in the wes act there had been no fault in their logic, yet owing to the law of the uncertainty of con- clusions II wardrobo fold- | and Ith ste.

Mo the Editor of The Eve: The naval historian, J. Fenimore Cooper. in the closing paragraph of his history of the navy makes a statement that is applicable to this He wrote in 18%. In closing be states an of the American navy iu the year 1900 will have a very different to bis own. Little that within twenty years the wouki wave over 300 the case in 1863. At that period we were strong and respected by all nations. I'rom time to time efforts were made to keep up a navy suit- able to the dignity of « great uation: this was | defeated. Mien in Congress said that there would be no more war. One Senator made the very remarkable statement. “that the moral effect of « mighty nation ef 60,000,000 in periect har- mony would deter any other nation from mo- lesting it. Also that if a raft with the Ameri- ¢an flag were sent adrift on the ocean ali the world would respect it.” This is a good time ehave Chile with s Star: only 3,000,000 in! specting swid raft and ‘utmost contempt. The only raft respected would be to b steel-clad battle ships. If imz the Baltimore insult to our flag we could hav sent fifteen ships of the Ealtimore aud six Datile ships to the harbor of Valparaiso ard de- manded an apology it would have been wen with s commendable promptness. icine of ection would have bees taken by either England or France if their flag had been so grossly insulted as was the American stan- dard by the mob in Chile. In au mterview pub- lished in today's Star Senators make statements in regard to the controversy with Chile that are apt to mislead. ‘The former says “that it would be a national disgrace to go to war with a nation so u: own; in fact, it would c In answer to this I would state that if this were ‘established asa precedent then any country smaller than our own would feel at liberty at any time to kill and maim our uaval repre sentatives or our citizens who might happen to ‘visit their shores, and if we were to ask for ai apology they could plead the “Labs ac: ir defense. This view would not be tolerated by any other country on the face of the globe. If dignitied Senators duly declare that the wan- ton siaughter of sailors on its men-of-war is too small a matter to be noticed, much less to go to war for, the sooner this new doctrine is pro- clamed the better. ‘Ihen those who may go abroad can duly place themselves under the tion of the Enzlish government, which ever has allowed an insult toany of its citi- ens to go unpunished. I doubt very much if the Chilean government will offer any sort of an apology that will be uc- ceptable to the President and his cabinet. ‘The mass of the people of that country belicve that they are fully able to hold their own against ‘the United Stxtea. In fact it is a well-known ~ boast that they think that one Chilean is equal to any ten Yankees. The only way to convince them of this error is the stern logic of battle. If war follows the present controversy we will spend, no doubt, several hundred million doliarr and sacrifice thousands of brave lives. Iforie-tenth of this sum had been spent ten Years ago in building upa proper navy the resent war topic would not have cowe up. inte Gen. Grant and Admiral Porter re- Peatedly stated that the only way to prevent ‘war was to be so thoroughly prepared for it ‘that no nation would dare attack us.

This fault he alleged to be at the bottom of most cases of conviction on circumstantial evidence, und he spoke of the presence in the world of « large class of people who do not want to be disturbed, but who plant themselves in one position, where they insist the truth must lie, and do not advance to ther position until actually forced to do so. They do not realize that the truth may be both here and there at the same time. oe DEMOCRATIC CLUBS. When the Meeting of the General Committee Will Be Callea At the meeting of the executive committee of the national association of democratic clubs NEW OFFICERS ELECTED. Miss Anthony Made President of the Woman Suffrage Association. The afternoon session of the Woman Suf- frage Association yesterday was occupied by the election of officers, which consumed sev- eral hours. Asa result of the election Susan B. Anthony is the president of the association, succeeding Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Both Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Lucy Stone were made honorgry vice presidents. In the election for president votes were enst for four candidates and on the informal bailot of 17134 votes Miss Anthony had 121}4, and that was speedily made formal. The election of a vice president was complicated by a motion to create honorary presidents and make Lucy Stone one of them. ‘The informal ballot for vico presidents re- sulted as follows: Mrs. Stone, #0: Kev. Anna Shaw, 90, and the balance divided among three candidates. Mrs. Stone tried to withdraw, and there was more controversy. After long dis- cussion the scattering votes of the first ballot went to Miss Shaw and she was elected. ‘the corresponding secretary, Rachel Foster Avery, and recording seeretary, Alice Stone Black- well, were re-elected. Mrs. Jane Spofford has been treasurer for years, and she was also chosen to succeed herself. Mrs. Upton and Mr. Dudley Ffoulke were chosen auditors. ‘The evening session was opened by mandolin and guitar ing by Mr. and Mi ble, the son and dawghter of Mi . president of the District of tion.

TO FORM A UISTORICAL SocIETY. ‘There has been some talk among those inter- ested in the Georgetown of years gone by of formiug an historical society, whose main ob- ject will be to secure from the towns through- ‘out Maryland and Virgmia and wherever they may exist the scattered records, old maps, carly newspapers and other things of a histori- cal nature relating to the town and to preserve them m the rooms of the soviety with other historical documents that from time to time will make their appearance. Local relics of all descriptions will be collected and oilicers periodically chosen to care for them. — It is urged that such a society would receive earnest support from the best people of the place. It is said many of the documents which would be gathered together are now in possession of people residing at and in the vicinity of Hagers- town, Roekville, Frederick, Baltimore and A WATER BILL To Punish Those Attempting to Defraud the District. Capt. Rossell has forwarded to the Commis- sioners a draft of a bill drawn by Capt. Lusk of the water department for transmission to Con- Gress to punish attempts to defraud the Dis- trict revenaes of water furnished through meters. The only penalty that can now be enforced is cutting off the water supply, which is dangerous to health, The water do- partment, says Capt. Rossell, is self sustafning, with exceedingly low water rates, and in order to continue this satisfactory state of affairs it is important that the department should have all that it is entitled to. The bili provides that any person who, with intent to injure or defraud the District of Co- lumbia, by the use of any pipe, tube, or con- trivance for conducting the supply of Potomac water in such a manner as to pass or carry the water, or any portion thereof, around or with- out passing through the meter, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction be pxn- ished by imprisonment not exceeding sis months or by fine not exceeding $250. pascal ALEXANDRIA, ALEXANDKIA WINTER SPORT.

The ‘7th street’ cable line is the finest in the city and in tho days of its youth was liberally supplied with cars much to its patrons’ delight. But a change has come about. ‘The travel has grown immensely, but the accommodations have stood as still asa monument. Between 8 and 9 a.m. and from 4 to5p.m.thereare not cars suficient to hold half the travel, even when the grip cars are used. Men who are almost ill are forced to ride on the open cars and the grip or pneumonia have been the result in many cases, ‘The company is known tohave sufiicient stock to maintain a double service of closed cars and they should be compelied by public sentiment todo so between the hours men- tioned.

There age also on the benches some choice shad from Savannah, Ga., which sell from 40 cents to #1 euch, und the fish are of extra fine quality for this carly in the season. Black bass are also being received in large numbers aud are selling at from 1214 to 20 cents a pound, while rock fish or striped bass bring from 20 to 30 cents, lot 3, block 22, Glen Echo, ee ee For the Starving Kussians.
