MAS. SPES REMARKS. Mrs. Speucer spoke of the ditticulty of Amer- icans to realize the horrors of a famine. They bave never seen anything like it in this country Americans spend the larger part of every year Over-eating, over-drinking and over-liviug. Then the church tells us at Lenten tide to do without luxuries for a tine —juxuries, not nec- essuries--and that is.as near fame as the av- erage American approaches. Now, do without food forone day,” she said. “Then for another and a third. Not only this, but make the baby do without it for the same time. Don't go away and leave the baby, but stay and watch it suffer, your baby. Witness ats sufferings as hunger closes its grip upon it, tighter und tighter, hour after hour, while the small voice grows weaker in ite wailing. “Then perhaps you will get a faint idea of » famine.” Mrs. Spencer said the action of the District of Columbus in the matter of relief for the starving Russians is important. Ina measure the District is the representative of the United States. It must not be allowed to go on record twenty million people are erying for food and the District of Columbia does not raise hand. Mrs. Spencer referred to the results of about one hour's work which she made this week in a preliminary skirmish for funds. She received promises from business men which insure a substantial nucleus around which to gather a fund. THE WORK SOW IN PROGRESS. Miss Clara Barton. president of the National Red Cross, detailed in her modest way the work which is now in progress in this country for the relief of the famiue sufferers. At is the duty of the Red Cross, she said, to discover national calamities, mform the people of them and point out the mode of relief. ‘The Red Cross does not beg. When the Red Cross Decame assured of the extent of the famine, when the Russian legation at this capital tes: tified to its prev , the Ked Cross informed the people. Minnesota was first to act. Lowa came next. Philadelphia sent the first ship- There are now in New York 100 carloads of Iowa corn await- ing shipment to Russia. Within ten days 100,000 bushels of corn will be stacked up in New York warehouses. Money is required to transport this food to the hungry peasants. Out | of the abundance of their harvests the west has unstintingly given food. It is now in order for the east to furnish money to move it. Miss Barton said she could not find one banker iu New York city who bad contidence enough iu the charity of the east to permit the use of his bank as a depository for tunds to be raised. ‘Iheu she came to Washington and Kiggs & Co. offered their bank at once. ‘Miss Barton referred in complimentary terms to the service which the District of Columbia Auxiliary rendered the Ked Cross during the lust yellow fever scourge. DR. HOYT TELLS OF THE STRICKEN DISTRICT. Dr. John W. Hoyt, ex-governor of Wyoming, was then introduced.

Commissioner Douglass said he had always entertained a tender feeling for Russia since that incident of the late civil war in which Russia had figured.

Natiosat Taxater.—-“‘The Dancing Girl” was seen at the New National Theater last night for the first time im this city. That it is a performance of great interest was fully evi- denced by the attention it attracted elsewhere. Itdeais with the proviems which arise from @ contemplation of man’s moral nature, and while the views of human nature are not op- timistic they are interesting and forceful. The dramatic development of the theme—the love of a nobleman for a theater duncer—shows great artistic finish, and the strength of the play was heightened by the merits of the cust that presented it.

The meeting was called to order Yy Mr. Scammell, and Mr. R B Youngs was chosen chairman. It was explained that the meoting was called to protest against the unjust, discriminating and unequal tax of #25 per year now imposed upon butter and cheese dealers and fruit and vegetable dealers in the markets. + Mr. Scummeil offered resolutions togethi with a bill, the latter to be introduced in Con- gress, and they were adopted. The resolutions read: “That we protest against the license tax of $25 per year imposed against the dealers in fruits, vegetables, butter, cheese und other farmers’ produce ‘in the markets of this Dis- trict, while dealers in other articles of mer- chandise pay no license tax whatever, a8 not only unjust, but a disctimiuation against the roducts of the farmers of the country, and we dcraand as a right the immediate repeal of this discriminating and outrageously uvjust license tax. “That we call upon the farmers of the country and their represen‘atives in Congress to tuke notice that at the capital of the United States, over which Congress exercises exclusive legislative jurisdiction, dealers in honest butter are required to pay a corporntion license tax of #25 per year, while dealers in oleomargarine jand butterine are exempt from any corpora- tion license tax whatever. wae “That to continue this unjust discrimination is to place a prominm upon bogus articles of food against genaine articles of honest produc- tion, and we respectfully ask Congress to apply the proper remedy.” ¢ The proposed bill provides that “‘No license tax shall be imposed upon any retail dealer doing business in'the markets of ihe District of Columbia, except dealers in intoxicating liquors.” 4 COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMINATION. Mr. Kidweil then spoke of the actions of the courts in regard to the license tax question. He did not object to paying the license if all dealers were treated alike, but when there is any discrimination then he thought i complain. He said be could not anderstand why a grocery store could attach the produce business to that of groceries and not pay an additional tax. Unless something is done in the inatter he proposed to put in eome articles, such as tea, coffee and other goods in the Srocery line, aud then declare himself a grocer am the market. : MR. CRANE’S STATEMENT. Mr. John H. Crane said be bad given the matter some consideration; that he had been acquainted with the market business for many years and he understood something of the li- Cenre tex. In hopes that he might be of some aosistance be had prepared a statement which he read. ‘This statement reviewed the legislation regarding licenses in the District and said “the Commissioners seem to have let up on one class of deuiers after another, though the law remaius the same, until now no one but liquor sellers and deulers in batter and cheese, vege- tables and green fruit, poultry and eggs are required to take out a license. the Commission- ers get the authori criminzte in the application of the iicense law in the way they do. Certain dealers ure exempt this year, who were required to pay #25 license tax last year, while the law remains un- changed.”” Crane complained that those who pu i stands in the mazhct twenty years ago had bought undera pledge that ne Hcense tax would be required of thom. Crane's statement continue with several northern cities, and not oue that have heard from imposes a license tax upon either wholesale or retail produce dealers. “A friend connected with the city govern- meut of Bostun writes as follows: “You ask if there is a license ax imposed upon dealers in ourmarkets. In reply I would say that there is nothing ot the kind. ‘The only license wx here is upon liquor sellere and ped- dlers who go about the country peddling tin. It sounds funny to hear that people in Wash- ington, the capital of the United States, are required to pay a tax for the privilege of work- ing to get @ living. ‘fhe dealers in Faneuil Hall Market not only pay no license, but the city lets them the stails at a very low rate, less than one-half what the stalls would bring if put up at auction. So long as. man pays bis rent he is not molested, and if he wants to sell out he can do so atabig bonus, or in case of death the good will of the stand is sold for the benefit of his family “corresponded hut is as it should be. It was once sohere, and continued until the non-resident stock- | holders of the Washington Market Company wrested the good will of the stands from the dealers in violation of the second section of its charter. “Chicago writes that no license tax is im- posed upon any but liquor dealers there, -ex- | cept a tax of £200, lately imposed upon ‘non- residents selling from cars at the depots. Cin- cinnati bas recently enacted the same law to protect resident dealers. Here it is eaactly the reverse. ‘The resident dealers are required to pay a license, while the non-resident dcaler pays nothing. ‘hese outrageously unjust discriminations are the natural ‘outgrowth of a goverument where the people have no voi ~ “I believe it is only necessary to bring this matter to the attention of Congress to cause the repeal of this unjust ci No fair-minded man will vote to continue our un- just license practice. 1 say ‘practice,’ for I cannot call it law where the liconses are im- posed according to the caprice of the Commis- Sioners or assessor—one year imposing a tax and the next year nouc, while the law remains unchanged.” Other remarks were made upon the question before the meeting, and it was decided to have # committee of ten wait upon the Commis- sioners in the matter and then go to Congress. —— FKOM ROCKVILLE, NEWS The Fair Ground Track to Be Used for Train- ig Purposes—General Notes, Correspondence of The Evening Star.

C., FRID i ‘THE ILLINOIS RECEPTION. A Large Gathering and an Enjoyable Even- ing at Willard Hall. It was Illinois night at Willard Hall last night, and upward of 600 people turned out, notwithstanding the unpleasant weather, to be present at the social reunion given under the auspices of the Illinois Republican Association. The ball was hung with flags and an orchestra rendered a number of musical selections, and later in the evening furnished the inspiration for the merry dancers who kept the floor until a late hour. There were pretty girls by the score and they did not lack for partners, There was no set program for the musical and literary part of the evening, but a number of interesting ad- dresses were made, full of clever points and appropriate allusions. PLEABANT SPRECHES MADE. Mr. D. A. Ray, chairman of the association, named Mr. A. C. Matthews, first controller of the treasury, as the presiding officer, and the first speaker was Senator Cullom, who was in- troduced, amid much applause, aa Mlinois’ choice for President, In the course of his \ddress the Senator spoke of the close relationship between a protective tariff und reciprocity. He declared that both were republicun policies, planned and designed for the upbuilding of tho material interests of the country. He believed that with those two distinctive ideas in the platform the party was bound to win the next presidential contest. Senator Cullom was followed by Ju Chaney of Indiana, who was agnest of the evening, and by Commissioner Green B. Raum. This concluded the speechmaking, and the chairs were moved back and the hall was cleared for dencing, which lasted for several hours. The officers of the association aro as follows: D. A. Ray, presidont; Mrs. E. E. Smith, Clayton C: Mason’ §. M. Peyion, vico presidents; Oscar J. Ricketts, secretary; Howard K. Sherfy, financial secretary; 5. J.

The square of ground on Washington street between Oronoko and Pendleton streets, which was purchased some months ago for 15,000 by the Norton syndicate, is now being sold out at rates which Will pay ‘a handsome profit on the investment. ‘The increase in the values of building lots convenient to the Washington and Alexandria railway is & notable evidence that the increase of Alexandria's population is by accretion from Washington and not by reason of any growth from within. Lots suitable for dwellings are in great and when the most desirable sites for manufactures or shipping are held at less than half of what wae once held to be their value. The American conl wharf property, @ square of ground on Pendleton strcet aud the river, which once rented for $2,500 per annum, is now proposed to be #old at 26,00, none of the city fathers estimating ite value’ at more than $10,000, while the Daingerfisld square, on Pendieton . opposite the cotton facto seven blocks above the river, which has never rented with the mansion on it for more than $300 per annum, is now estimated to be worth from £20,000 to $25,000 for building purposes.
