Mra Foster had received the pleasant news of the sailing for home of Secretary Foster and a: ticipated the most satisfactory results from his voyage. Mrs. Elkins’ drawing room after 4 o'clock was another attractive rendezvous for her friends, and many of her recent dinner guests were paying their party calls. She had Miss Gouverneur, Miss Kerensand Mies Lindsley re- ceiving with her, and this bunch of young ladies by turn did the honors of a litle ten table in the back parlor. Secretary and Mrs. Elkins had intended to go down to Cuba for a two or three week’strip, starting next Monday, as the guests of Hon. and Mrs. H.G. Davis, and taking their sons along, but the pressure of public ‘business has caused the postpone- ment of the trip by the Secretary. Mrs, Miller spent the late afternoon in mak- ing calls. Miss Miller is going to New York to- Gay tor her usual spring visit and to recuperate also from the effects of tne bad cold from which she has suffered for nearly a month.

The marriage last night of Miss Rosalie Solo- mous and Mr. N. Taylor Phillips of New York city at the residence of Mr. A. 8 Solomons was one of the most impressive of the season's home weddings. ‘The ceremony took place in the large drawing room under the middle arch. A canopy of white silk made an effective decoration under the arch, tied to either side by long white ribbons. ‘the fluted pillars on either mde were twined with smilax and the mantels banked with pink and white azaleas. ‘Tall palms and pots of St. Joseph lilies decked each corner. ‘The musicians were stationed in the bay window at the left of ‘the hall and played the wedding march as the bridal party came into the room. The groom walked in with his sister, Mrs. Zillah Cohen of New York, and the beautiful young bride camoin escorted by her father. Rev. Dr. Nieto performed the service, which was mainly in Hebrew and consisted of many significant and touching ceremonials. Only the family party were present, and Mrs. Eimer, Hendricks Elmer and Mra. Cohen Tepresenting Mr. Philips’ relatives and Mrs. Peixotto the bride's mother. Lhe guests in- vited to the reception began to arrive after 8 o'clock to offer their congratulations to the happy bride and groom. ‘Ihe bride was radi- antin her trained gown of white faille, the bodice cut rounded at the neck and having Jong sleeves puffed bigh at the shoulders. The neck was edged with exquisitely fine old fam- ily lace and jubots of the same made a vest. ‘Two garlands of orange blossom¥ came across the right shoulder and tapered down to the waist line. Her talle veil was worn un- der a wreath of orange blossoms and @ diamond pendaat was hanging from her necklace. Her flowers, a bunch of white roses, were carried by her little niece, Miss Irma Piexotto. who was gowned in biue silk. Miss Aunie Darlington, another pretty little child, dressed in white, was her second attendant. ‘The bride's presents came from friends all over the country and completely filled a large room where they were shown.

Mr. William Linkins has, in a letter to Sena- tor McMillan, chairman of the Senate District committee, called attention toa complaint re- garding the condition of the west end of F street northwest, asserting that he has appealed in vain to the District Commissioners. Mr. Linkins says the street from Virginia to New Hampshire avenue, a distance of three squares, has been in an impassable condition for three years or more. About twenty years ago, be says, the grade of these three squares was cut down from six to twenty feet, leaving about thirty uouses on the edge of a high em- bankment, over which many of them would have tumbled but for extra underpinning and walls, says six brick houses were erected on 24th and 25th streets, but three years ago the District Commissioners again changed the grade, making a further cut on this street of from three to six feet. “An appro- priation was made,” Mr. Linkins continues, “to grade, lav footwalks and sewer the said three squares. This additional cut left some of the houses nearty forty feet above the carriageway. The contractor, a Mr. Lyons, was allowed to sell the surplus earth to the monument grounds, & distance of over half « mile, instead of put- ting it in streets much nearer ‘that were below the grade. When the work had progressed just enough to make the carriageway impassable ‘the work was suspended. and what should be the carriageways and footwalks have been a Suisance from that day to this.” earth in many plates over the sewers, Mr. Linkins says, has sunk several feet, making travel by carriage or on foot either impossible or das ous, spaces where the footwalks Mi ‘Liskins ee Leo »xcellen! ir.

HANDSOME CONTRIBUTIONS ALREADY MADE 48 FREE-WILL OFFERINOS—A SYSTEMATIC EFFORT NOW To BE INAUGURATED TO ADVANCE THE EN- TEBPRISE—AN INSTITUTION PLANNED ON A NA- TIONAL SCALE—WHAT 18 EXPECTED OF WASH- INGTONIANS. Not in church circles only, but among many outside the church who recognize that the enterprise promises to contribute much toward the growth of the capital as a center of culture as well as acity of splendid proportions and many attractions, interest in the Episcopal cathedral project is growing. The movement means not the erection only of « noble struct- ure, the establishment of an Episcopal resi- dence and the offices required for the adminis- tration of diocesan affairs, objects which in themselves appeal strongly to church and local pride. but also the location here of schools, hospitals and other institutions which would be welcomed by all, irrespective of chnreh connections, as important factors in the development of Washington. In other cities, though no special effort has yet been made to awaken rest beyond tie limits of this diocese, the undertaking has attracted at- tention, and the advantages of having located in the capital an establishment of the scope of that pronosed have received instant recogni- tion. Where the matter has been discussed the prevailing sentiment has been that the cathedral and the institutions to clusteraround it should be national in their character and seope and should be planned and endowed on @ national scale. So the promoters of the en- terprise are encouraged to believe that when the people of Washington have given sub- stantial evidence of their interest in the move- ment by generous contributions to the fund re- quired a call upon members of the church in Other dioceses to aid in the establishment of a cathedral institution that will be wort! represent the church at the capital of the n tion will meet with a liberal response. Although uo systematic effort has been made wo far to obtain funds some handsome contribut have been made to supplement Miss Mann’ original donation of #80,000 in land for the cathedral endowment.

It is intended now to push the efforts to ob- tain contributions in this city, the aim being to raise here a sum sufficient at least to secure ail the land selected aa the site of the proposed cathedral as the gift of the people of Washing- ton before making an appeal outside of the city for aid in the great enterprise. In regard to the work of securing funds Bishop Paret bas sent out the following announcement: “It is of very greut importance that gener- ous impulse should be specdily given to the ef- fort,to secure funds for building the cathedral at Washington. For that purpose Rev. Neilson Falls has been asked by the bishop and the committee appointed by him to cail upon all persons who may be interested and to solicit their liberal assistance. Much of the ultimate success of the undertuking will depend upon the spirit and earnestness with which it is begun and we appeal therefore to all who may be concerned not only for the church in Wash- ington and Maryland, but for the interest of the church in the United States. ‘This work at the capital city of the nation will have great national relations and influence and it should be nobly carried on. ‘The Rev. Mr. Falls will remit and report to the proper authorities for the cathedral all contribitions that may be made. Already those who have interested them. solves in the work have had assurances thi fund of proportions sufficient to indicate an earnest interest in the cathedral project on the part of the people of Washington will be gen- ously supplemented by contributions from churches aud churchmen elsewhere. ‘Two do- nations from persons of great wealth in an- other city came with a promise of a much larger sum wien the people of Washington had done something to prove their own zeal in the cause. ‘The $5,000 subscription of Mra. Merritt of New York is'payable at any time 0 soon as 295,000 is secured by other subscriptions; but the subscription is to be withdrawn unless the $95,000 is subscribed by January 1, 1893. In other words, it is conditional on the whole #100,000 now asked for by the bishop being subscribed by 1893. but is payabie at once thezeupon, whether that sum is secured at once or only until January 1, 1893. THE GENERAL PLANS. The enterprise has the warmest approval of Bishop Paret and of the authorities of the church in this diocese. It is earnestly advo- cated by leading clergymen of Baltimore, who see that the success of the movement does not mean the removal of the episcopal residence from Daltimore, but the erection of a separate diocese in the District of Columbia. ‘The growth and importance of the parishes in Washington long ago made it apparent that such a division of the diocese of Maryland would hereafter become an administrative ne- cessity. ‘The site selected for the cathedral and approved by Bishop Paret is at the junction of the Woodley and Klingle roads. ‘The choice is commended as a wise one on account of the attractiveness of the site and also, as Bishop Paret explained in an address he made recently at a meeting in this city of those who were in- terested in the enterprise, because it avoided the danger of the injury or destruction of one or two neighboring parish churches which might arise if the cathedral were located in a thickly populated part of the city. It becomes possible, too, by®choosing a site beyond the city limits to make ample provi- sion for the future needs of the cathedral. The land chosen is now easily accessible, and it will not be many years before the growth of the city will bring it in the midst of a city popula- tion. According to Bishop Paret the sum re- quired for the adequate endowment of the cathedral is €3,000,000, an amount which he thinks might be raised in two years when the ple of Washington have done their share. TEP his view that” the wivest plan, when the sum he has named has been secured, is to ex- pend the interest of the fund, one hundred and fifty thou-and or so a year, in erecting the necessary buildings, retaining the principal as un endowment for the work. The bishop re- gards it us important to the success of the plan that around the cathedral should-cluster institu- tious of learning and mercy. Such institutions, when placed upon x proper foundation, which the cathedral provides, would naturally enlist the interest of those who desired to contribute from their means to the advancement of educa- tion and of philanthropic work. THE NATIONAL CHARACTER OF THE PROJECT. ‘That the national character of the cathedral project and the benefits that may flow from it of Washington should be the metr: tan Mf the United States and it should be with this ultimate result in view. In designed time, aa the merits of the provineial be- | breast. gous Detter kuown, Washington will become seat of the primate of the American and around the cathedral will gather versity, divinity school, convocation Offices that should be connected church in a great nation.

The morning was bright and mild and save for a dark line of clouds in the west there was nothing to indicate such a sudden change in the weather. About noon, however, there was a decided change, the skies becoming over- clouded, and in @ few minutes later the wind blew fiercely. Mrs. Palmer, wife of the Illinois Senator, who was on her way to the Capitol. had just got out of a street car and was walking to the northeast entrance to the Capitol when the fiast of wind struck her, and in an instant lifted her off her feet and threw her with great force to the stone flagging.

Just before the adjournment of the executive session yesterday, at which the correspondence was considered, the publication of the text of the treaty was authorized. The treaty is still in the hands of the foreign relations commit- tee, and @ report on it will be delayed until Lord Sulisbury replies to the last note of this government. As the matter stands, the Senate will not agree to the treaty as itis at prosent formed, unless the President is directed not t exchange ratification with Great Britain until 4 renewal of the modus vivendi is agreed to. ‘The treaty as it went to the Senate was ac- companied simply by a letter of transuuttal from the President, which contained no com- ment or suggestion of any sort. In its preamble the treaty recites the desire of the governments of the United States and Great Britain for an amicable settlement of the questions arising between them concerning the jurisdictiona: rights of the United States in Bering sea, and also concerning the preservation of the fur seal in the sea and the rights of citizens or sub- jects of either country as regards the taking of seals in these waters, THE ARBITRATORS AND THEIR DUTIES. ‘The first article of the document recites that the questions mentioned in the preamble sha!l be submitted to a tribunal of arbitration, to be composed of seven arbitrators, two tobe named by the President of the United States and two by her Britannic majesty. ‘Ihe president of the French republic isto be requested to name one, the King of Italy to name one and the King of Sweden and Norway to name one. The seven, arbitrators are to be jurists of distinguished reputations in their respective countries. In the event of the failure of the three last named persons to designate arbitrators within two months after request then the vacancy is to be filled in such manner as the high contracting Parties shall agree. Article 2 provides that the arbitrators shall meet in Paris within twenty days after the de- livery of the counter case mentioned in article 4; all questions, meluding the final decision, to be determined by a majority of the arbitrators. Each of the contracting parties is also to uame One person to attend the tribunal as its agent. Article 3 provides that the printed case of the two parties and all evidence shail be delivered in duplicate to each of the arbitrators and agents within three months of the date of exchenge of ratification of this treaty. Article 4 provides that within three months following exch party may likewise ‘deliver a counter case and additional evidence in reply to the other party. An additional allowance of sixty days’ time may be granted upon applica- tion, POINTS TO BE DECIDED. Article 5 requires the agents within one mouth after the delivery of the counter cases to deliver printed arguments to the arbitrat- ora, and either party may suport the same by oral arguments by counsel. Article 6 names five points which shall be submitted to the ar- bitrators in order that the award aball embrace a decision upon each of the pomnts. These points are as follows: (1) Whatexclusive jurisdiction in the sea known as the Dering sca and what exclusive rights in the seal fisheries therein did Kussia assert and exercise prior and up to the time of the cession of Aluska to the United States. (2.) How far were these claims of juris- diction as to the seal fisheries recognized and conceded by Great Britain? (3.) Wasthe body of water now known as Bering sea included in the phrase “Pacific ocean,” as used iu the treity of 1825 between Great Britain and Husela, and what rights if any, in the Bering sea were held and exclusively exercised by Rustia after said trenty? (4.) Did not all the Tights of Russia as to jurisdiction and as to the seal fisheries in Bering seu cast of the water boundary in the treaty between the United States and Russia on the 30th of March, 1867, pars unimpaired to the United States under that treaty? (5.) Has the United States any Tight, and, if so, what right of protection or property in the fur seals frequenting the islands of the United States in Bering sea when such seals are found outside the ordinary three- mile limit? Article % provides that if the determination of these questions shall leave the subject in such position that the concurrence of Great Britain is necessary to the establishment of reg- ulations for the protection of the seal, the arbi- trators shall determine what concurrent regu- lations are necessary and over what waters they shall extend, on which point they may consider the report of the joint commission. Both parties agree to co-operate to secure the adhesion of the other powers to such regula- tions, LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES. Article 8 recites that the parties have been unable to agree upon a reference of the ques- tion of liability for the injurice sustained in connection with the claims presented, and agree that in order not to delay arbitration they may hereafter submit to the ‘arbitrators ‘any question of fact involved in such claims and ask for the findings thereon, the questions of liability to be the subject of farther nego- a tiations. Article 9 recites the agreement by the par- ties to appoint two commissioners (who have already completed their work) to the in- vestigation contemplated in article 7, and in- cludes the terms ‘agreement to that point. From this agreement it appears that: the re- ports of these commissions aro not to be made public until they shall be submitted to the ar- tors.

CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPART- MENT COMMAXDER—CHAIRMAN EDSON SHOWS BOW UNJUST AND UNFOUNDED ARE THE ALLE- @ATIONS—WHAT HAS BEEN AND IS BEING DONE. It is going to be very difficult, if not imponsi- die, to please every one of the hundred thon- sand Grand Army men who will be here at the national encampment next September. Some of the visitors, unless all the signs go Wrong or human nature is marvelously amended within the intervening months, must grumble. Up to the past two or three days there has been no official growl at the manner in which things were moving, but there has just been published a circular relative to the en- campment which has in it several statements calculated to mislead. The document comes from headquarters, department of New Hamp- shire,and is signed by Department Commander Daniel Hall. Paragraph 4, which treats of ac- Commodations, is as follows: A CUARGE AGAINST HOTEL KEEPERS. “The commander regrets to have found @ Rrasping spirit on the part of most of the hotel keepers of Washington, which threatens to in- terfere with the success of the encampment. This is, as he understands it, in express viola- tion of the promises made and inducements held out by those who represented Washington in the contest at Detroit for the location of the next encamp- ment. The rates demanded for hotel ac- commodations are excessive, and in many cases extortionate: and if the national council of administration were of the same views as the commander and senior vice commander of this department, who have investigated this subject in person, he would avail himself of the right expressly given him by the Detroit encampment and change the location of the next encampment unless these abuses were remedied and the citizens of Washington made to conform to the assurances and agreements WILL TAKE A TRIP sourn. ‘The Interstate Commerce Commission's Pre posed Tour for Business.

Commander Hall says he found on the part of most of the hotel keepers in thiscity a ge ing spirit, which threatens to interfere with success of the encampment. If he had said that ope or two proprietors were out for all they can get he would have been correct, but when he accuses the majority of greediness hehasdone Washington great injustice—serious injustice because of Commander Hail’s official position. From the first we promised—and the promise will be made good—that ail or nearly all the principal hotels would be accessible to the ex- tent of @ reasonable capacity at rates; there is to be no overcharging. I think the idea that @5 or 36 a day hotel charges is exorbitant bas its origin in the fact that in the great mass of small towns in this country hotel bills rarely run over $2.50 = day. We have many such hotels here, but they are not being sought for occupancy by department officers. When the best is demanded it naturally follows that the best pricesensue. We still have room for thou- sands who desire reasonable, yet satisfactory accommodations, but those who come to @ big and want all the luxuries cannot reason- complain if they have to pay the price willingly disbursed by the traveling public every day in the year. NO FOUNDATION FOR THE CHARGE. “There is absolutely no foundation for an in- definite and sweeping statement that the rates demanded for hotel accommodations are exces- sive or extortionate. People who think €4 or #5. day too much should stay away from hotels of the first class and be content with quarters necessarily a trifle less desirable. . “We have quartered nearly 15,000 veterans, most of whom have been represented by com- mittees, and in every instance the locating and the terms have been satisfactory to the soldiers, Fifty-three New England posts have been pro- vided for and every one is pleased.
